Mobile Introns Shape the Genetic Diversity of Their Host Genes

Abstract: Self-splicing introns populate several highly conserved protein-coding genes in fungal and plant mitochondria. In fungi, many of these introns have...

“…Nonetheless, the species Acremonium fuci, A. chrysogenum and Clonostachys rosea presented the gene cox2 displaced, while Nectria cinnabarina and Epichloe typhina displayed a rearrangement for the nad4l gene. Differences in genome ordering can be attributed due to non-homologous recombination processes, plasmid sequence integration or presence of transposable elements, such as IGI sequences and HEGs (Gordenin et al, 1993;Lavrov et al, 2002;Rocha, 2003;Repar and Warnecke, 2017).…”

“…The vast diversity in the S. cerevisiae mitochondrial genomes in our study population included size, intron content, and copy number variation, as well as SNPs/indels in the 36 core genes [RNA-encoding (n = 27): 21S, 15S, RPM1, 24 tRNAs; protein-encoding (n = 9): VAR1, COX1, COX2, COX3, COB, ATP6, ATP8, OLI1, RF1]. Some aspects of these S. cerevisiae mitochondrial genomes have been previously described (Wolters et al 2015;Peris et al 2017;Repar and Warnecke 2017). Therefore, we focus this discussion on the novel ENS2 and ATP6 genotype-oligomycin phenotype associations; ENS2 and ATP6 phylogenies and introgression; Ens2-mediated recombination; the identification and characterization of mitochondrial genotype-dependent phenotypes in iso-nuclear F1 pairs; and nuclear-mitochondrial epistasis, as well as its implications for the analysis of quantitative traits.…”

“…In contrast to other mobile elements, self-splicing introns do not spawn a large pool of copies that disperse across the genome to escape mutational erasure. Rather, owing to highly specific homing sites, each intron is typically confined to a single location in the host genome and evolutionary persistence seems to rely on continued re-invasion, either from other individuals in the same population ( Goddard and Burt, 1999 ) or across species boundaries ( Skelly and Maleszka, 1991 ; Dujon, 1989 ; Repar and Warnecke, 2017 ). Self-splicing introns can spread despite considerable fitness costs to the host ( Hickey, 1982 ).…”
