Evolutionary relationships among parvoviruses: virus-host coevolution among autonomous primate parvoviruses and links between adeno-associated and avian parvoviruses.

ABSTRACT: The current classification of parvoviruses is based on virus host range and helper virus dependence, while little data on evolutionary relationships among viruses are available. We identified and analyzed 472 sequences of parvoviruses, among which there were (virtually) full-length genomes of all 41 viruses currently recognized as individual species within the family Parvoviridae. Our phylogenetic analysis of full-length genomes as well as open reading frames distinguished three evolutionary groups of parvoviruses from vertebrates: (i) the human helper-dependent adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotypes 1 to 6 and the autonomous avian parvoviruses; (ii) the bovine, chipmunk, and autonomous primate parvoviruses, including human viruses B19 and V9; and (iii) the parvoviruses from rodents (except for chipmunks), carnivores, and pigs. Each of these three evolutionary groups could be further subdivided, reflecting both virus-host coevolution and multiple cross-species transmissions in the evolutionary history of parvoviruses. No parvoviruses from invertebrates clustered with vertebrate parvoviruses. Our analysis provided evidence for negative selection among parvoviruses, the independent evolution of their genes, and recombination among parvoviruses from rodents. The topology of the phylogenetic tree of autonomous human and simian parvoviruses matched exactly the topology of the primate family tree, as based on the analysis of primate mitochondrial DNA. Viruses belonging to the AAV group were not evolutionarily linked to other primate parvoviruses but were linked to the parvoviruses of birds. The two lineages of human parvoviruses may have resulted from independent ancient zoonotic infections. Our results provide an argument for reclassification of Parvovirinae based on evolutionary relationships among viruses.

Project description:Organismal traits can evolve in a coordinated way, with correlated patterns of gains and losses reflecting important evolutionary associations. Discovering these associations can reveal important information about the functional and ecological linkages among traits. Phylogenetic profiles treat individual genes as traits distributed across sets of genomes and can provide a fine-grained view of the genetic underpinnings of evolutionary processes in a set of genomes. Phylogenetic profiling has been used to identify genes that are functionally linked and to identify common patterns of lateral gene transfer in microorganisms. However, comparative analysis of phylogenetic profiles and other trait distributions should take into account the phylogenetic relationships among the organisms under consideration. Here, we propose the Community Coevolution Model (CCM), a new coevolutionary model to analyze the evolutionary associations among traits, with a focus on phylogenetic profiles. In the CCM, traits are considered to evolve as a community with interactions, and the transition rate for each trait depends on the current states of other traits. Surpassing other comparative methods for pairwise trait analysis, CCM has the additional advantage of being able to examine multiple traits as a community to reveal more dependency relationships. We also develop a simulation procedure to generate phylogenetic profiles with correlated evolutionary patterns that can be used as benchmark data for evaluation purposes. A simulation study demonstrates that CCM is more accurate than other methods including the Jaccard Index and three tree-aware methods. The parameterization of CCM makes the interpretation of the relations between genes more direct, which leads to Darwin's scenario being identified easily based on the estimated parameters. We show that CCM is more efficient and fits real data better than other methods resulting in higher likelihood scores with fewer parameters. An examination of 3786 phylogenetic profiles across a set of 659 bacterial genomes highlights linkages between genes with common functions, including many patterns that would not have been identified under a nonphylogenetic model of common distribution. We also applied the CCM to 44 proteins in the well-studied Mitochondrial Respiratory Complex I and recovered associations that mapped well onto the structural associations that exist in the complex.
