“…Both events have been documented to occur in mammals (Gyllensten et al, 1991;Schwartz and Vissing, 2002;Ladoukakis and Eyre-Walker, 2004;Zhao et al, 2004), birds (Kvist et al, 2003), fish (Magoulas and Zouros, 1993;Guo et al, 2006;Ciborowski et al, 2007), mollusks (Ladoukakis and Zouros, 2001), amphibians (Ujvari et al, 2007), arthropods (Meusel and Moritz, 1993;Gantenbein et al, 2005;Arunkumar et al, 2006;Sherengul et al, 2006;Fontaine et al, 2007) and nematodes (Lunt and Hyman, 1997;Armstrong et al, 2007). What is more, gender-associated and tissue-specific transmission of both paternal and maternal mtDNA ('doubly uniparental inheritance' (DUI)) appears to be the norm in some bivalves (Breton et al, 2007).…”

The mechanisms by which paternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) (paternal leakage) and, subsequently, recombination of mtDNA are prevented vary in a speciesspecific manner with one mechanism in common: paternally derived mtDNA is assumed to be vastly outnumbered by maternal mtDNA in the zygote. To date, this dilution effect has only been described for two mammalian species, human and mouse. Here, we estimate the mtDNA content of chinook salmon oocytes to evaluate the dilution effect operating in another vertebrate; the first such study outside a mammalian system. Employing real-time PCR, we determined the mtDNA content of chinook salmon oocytes to be 3.2 Â 10 9 ± 1.0 Â 10 9 , and recently, we determined the mtDNA content of chinook salmon sperm to be 5.73 ± 2.28 per gamete. Accordingly, the ratio of paternal-to-maternal mtDNA if paternal leakage occurs is estimated to be 1:5.5 Â 10 8 . This contribution of paternal mtDNA to the overall mtDNA pool in salmon zygotes is three to five orders of magnitude smaller than those revealed for the mammalian system, strongly suggesting that paternal inheritance of mtDNA per offspring will be much less likely in this system than in mammals.

“…The host of N. bombycis was domesticated silkworm (B. mori), and the host of N.antheraeae was wild silkworm, A. pernyi. It had been proven that silkmoth hosts A. pernyi and B. mori were most closely related than other non-silkworm hosts (Regier et al, 2005;Arunkumar et al, 2006). Therefore, all our phylogenetic results indicated that even if their respective hosts had very close evolutionary origins, N. antheraeae was not more closely related to N. bombycis than to other lepidopteran-infecting Nosema species, proving that the relationship between silkmoth-infecting Nosema species was not in accordance with the phylogeny of the silkmoth hosts.…”

The microsporidian Nosema antheraeae is an intracellular parasite that infects the Chinese oak silkmoth, Antheraea pernyi. However, its phylogenetic position among the Nosema isolates is not yet clear. For a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between Nosema species, the RPB1, -tubulin and -tubulin genes of N. antheraeae were sequenced and analyzed. These data showed that the N. antheraeae clade was a sister to the clade of Nosema bombycis and other lepidopteran-infecting Nosema spp. Moreover, even if their respective silkmoth hosts, A. pernyi and Bombyx mori, were known to be close relatives (both belong to superfamily, Bombycoidea), N. antheraeae was not more closely related to N. bombycis than to other lepidopteran Nosema species. Therefore, the relationship between silkmoth-infecting Nosema species was not in accordance with the phylogeny of the silkmoth hosts; this might indicate that cospeciation have few influence on the silkmoth-infecting Nosema spp.

“…For example, the Antheraea pernyi A+T-rich region harbors a repeat element of 38 bp tandemly repeated 6 times , the A. proylei has 5 repeat elements (Arunkumar et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2008), Japanese Bombyx mandarina harbors a tandem triplication of a 126 bp repeat unit, while only one of the repeat elements is found in the A+T-rich region of B. mori and Chinese B. mandarina (Yukuhiro et al, 2002;Pan et al, 2008). Within Papilionoidea, the nymphalid Eumenis autonoe is the only species reported to have a tandem repeat sequence, which harbors 10 identical 27 bp long tandem repeats and one 13 bp long incomplete final repeat ( Kim et al, 2010).…”

Abstract:In the present study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Painted Jezebel, Delias hyparete. The mitogenome of Delias hyparete is 15 186 bp in length, and has typical sets of 37 genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding A+T-rich region. All protein-coding genes are initiated by ATN codons, except for COI, which is tentatively designated by the CGA codon, as observed in other butterfly species. A total of 10 PCGs harbored the complete termination codon TAA or TAG, while the COI, COII and ND5 genes ended at a single T residue. All 22 tRNA genes show typical clover structures, with the exception of the tRNA Ser(AGN) which lacks the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem and is instead replaced by a simple loop. Thirteen intergenic spacers totaling 153 bp, and 13 overlapping regions totaling 46 bp are scattered throughout the whole genome. The 377 bp long of D. hyparete A+T-rich region is not comprised of large repetitive sequences, but harbors several features characteristic of the lepidopteran insects, including the motif ATAGA followed by an 18 bp poly-T stretch, a microsatellite-like (AT) 5 element preceded by the ATTTA motif, an 10 bp polyA-like stretch (AAAAATAAAA) present immediately upstream tRNA Met .
