Mitochondrial genotyping of an endangered bitterling Acheilognathus typus (Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT: Genotyping of endangered species is helpful for establishing and evaluating conservation strategies. Mitochondrial sequence data was analyzed from 541 individuals of a critically endangered fish, Acheilognathus typus from present-day range-wide localities to re-evaluate an in-progress restoration program around Lake Izunuma-Uchinuma, Miyagi, Japan. Acheilognathus typus showed low sequence diversity with only eight haplotypes and ? and ? values of 0.59129 and 0.00118 respectively. Genetic data suggests Acheilognathus typus is adapted to pulsed environments and prone to population flush and crash. Genotyping of populations in introduced localities revealed that their source is not from nearby localities.

The complete mitochondrial genomes of two endangered bitterling Acheilognathus tabira tohokuensis and A. tabira erythropterus (Cyprinidae, Acheilognathinae).

Project description:Acheilognathus tabira (tabira bitterling) comprises of 5 subspecies, all of which are endangered. In this study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the 2 subspecies, A. tabira tohokuensis and A. tabira erythropterus, whose mitogenomes have not been reported previously, was determined. The total lengths of A. tabira tohokuensis and A. tabira erythropterus mitogenomes were 16,774 bp and 16,770 bp, respectively, and were noted as slightly AT-rich. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these 2 subspecies of A. tabira were the most closely related, out of the 5 subspecies. The deciphered mitogenomes would be useful for conservation and evolutionary studies.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic implications of the rainbow bitterling Acheilognathus tonkinensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

Project description:Acheilognathus tonkinensis is a magnificent bitterling fish of genus Acheilognathus belonging to the sub-family Acheilognathinae of the family Cyprinidae. In this study, we first determined and described the 16,767 bp mitochondrial DNA sequence of A. tonkinensis. The mitogenome encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 12S, and 16S rRNA genes, and a D-loop region. The overall nucleotide composition was 29.4% A, 27.1% T, 17.0% G, and 26.5% C, with a slight AT bias (56.5%). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that A. tonkinensis had the closest evolutionary relationship with A. macropterus. The availability of mitogenome sequence of A. tonkinensis would facilitate species identification of the Acheilognathinae, as well as genetic evaluations for resource conservation and management of this species.

Identification and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Acheilognathus omeiensis (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).

Project description:Acheilognathus omeiensis is a small-size freshwater ornamental fish. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of A. omeiensis was first determined. This mitogenome was 16,774 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 main noncoding regions. Most mitochondrial genes were encoded on the H-strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes. The base composition was 28.97% A, 27.72% T, 26.02% C, and 17.29% G, with 56.69% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the nucleotide sequence of 13 PCGs of A. omeiensis and closely related 12 species ticks to assess their phylogenic relationship and evolution. These data should be helpful for a better understanding of the mitochondrial genomic diversities and evolution in fish as well as novel genetic markers for studying population genetics and species identification.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of the Estrogen Receptor from the Striped Bitterling (Acheilognathus yamatsutae).

Project description:ObjectivesIn order to identify the possibility of striped bitterling (SB) (Acheilognathus yamatsutae) being used as a test species for estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs), we carried out the cloning and sequence characterization of the estrogen receptor (ER).MethodsThe ER from a striped bitterling was obtained by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), 5'- and 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (5'-RACE and 3'-RACE) and T-vector cloning. The expression of ER mRNA was also analyzed in six tissues (brain, liver, kidney, gill, gonad, and intestines) by real-time PCR.ResultsWe obtained an ER from the striped bitterling. The SB ER cDNA was 2189 base pairs (bp) in length and contained a 1707 bp open reading frame that encoded 568 amino acid residues. The SB ER amino acid sequence clustered in a monophyletic group with the ERα of other fish, and was more closely related to zebrafish ERα (88% identity) than to the ERα of other fish. The SB ER cDNA was divided into A/B, C, D, E and F domains. The SB ER has conserved important sequences for ER functions, such as the DNA binding domain (D domain), which are consistent with those of other teleosts.ConclusionsThe ER of the striped bitterling could provide basic information in toxicological studies of EEDCs in the striped bitterling.

Molecular and functional analyses of the fast skeletal myosin light chain2 gene of the Korean oily bitterling, Acheilognathus koreensis.

Project description:We identified and characterized the primary structure of the Korean oily bitterling Acheilognathus koreensis fast skeletal myosin light chain 2 (Akmlc2f), gene. Encoded by seven exons spanning 3955 bp, the deduced 168-amino acid AkMLC2f polypeptide contained an EF-hand calcium-binding motif and showed strong homology (80%-98%) with the MLC2 proteins of Ictalurus punctatus and other species, including mammals. Akmlc2f mRNA was highly enriched in skeletal muscles, and was detectable in other tissues. The upstream regions of Akmlc2f included a TATA box, one copy of a putative MEF-2 binding site and several putative C/EBPβ binding sites. The functional activity of the promoter region of Akmlc2f was examined using luciferase and red fluorescent protein reporters. The Akmlc2f promoter-driven reporter expressions were detected and increased by the C/EBPβ transcription factor in HEK293T cells. The activity of the promoter of Akmlc2f was also confirmed in the developing zebrafish embryo. Although the detailed mechanism underlying the expression of Akmlc2f remains unknown, these results suggest the muscle-specific expression of Akmlc2f transcript and the functional activation of Akmlc2f promoter by C/EBPβ.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Endangered fish Anabarilius liui yalongensis (Teleostei, Cyprinidae, Cultrinae).

Project description:We describe the complete mitochondrial genome of the Endangered fish Anabarilius liui yalongensis. It is a circular molecule of 16,608?bp in size, and all genes show the typical gene arrangement conforming to the vertebrate consensus. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence of A. liui yalongensis and other 21 species from 14 genera were used for phylogenetic analysis by Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods. The topology demonstrated that the A. liui yalongensis clustered with A. grahami are closely to Hemiculter branch within the subfamily Cultrinae.

Microsatellite development for an endangered bream Megalobrama pellegrini (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) using 454 sequencing.

Project description:Megalobrama pellegrini is an endemic fish species found in the upper Yangtze River basin in China. This species has become endangered due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and overfishing. However, the available genetic data for this species is limited. Here, we developed 26 polymorphic microsatellite markers from the M. pellegrini genome using next-generation sequencing techniques. A total of 257,497 raw reads were obtained from a quarter-plate run on 454 GS-FLX titanium platforms and 49,811 unique sequences were generated with an average length of 404 bp; 24,522 (49.2%) sequences contained microsatellite repeats. Of the 53 loci screened, 33 were amplified successfully and 26 were polymorphic. The genetic diversity in M. pellegrini was moderate, with an average of 3.08 alleles per locus, and the mean observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.47 and 0.51, respectively. In addition, we tested cross-species amplification for all 33 loci in four additional breams: M. amblycephala, M. skolkovii, M. terminalis, and Sinibrama wui. The cross-species amplification showed a significant high level of transferability (79%-97%), which might be due to their dramatically close genetic relationships. The polymorphic microsatellites developed in the current study will not only contribute to further conservation genetic studies and parentage analyses of this endangered species, but also facilitate future work on the other closely related species.
