The Loss of the Inverted Repeat in the Putranjivoid Clade of Malpighiales.

ABSTRACT: The typical plastid genome (plastome) of photosynthetic angiosperms comprises a pair of Inverted Repeat regions (IRs), which separate a Large Single Copy region (LSC) from a Small Single Copy region (SSC). The independent losses of IRs have been documented in only a few distinct plant lineages. The majority of these taxa show uncommonly high levels of plastome structural variations, while a few have otherwise conserved plastomes. For a better understanding of the function of IRs in stabilizing plastome structure, more taxa that have lost IRs need to be investigated. We analyzed the plastomes of eight species from two genera of the putranjivoid clade of Malpighiales using Illumina paired-end sequencing, the de novo assembly strategy GetOrganelle, as well as a combination of two annotation methods. We found that all eight plastomes of the putranjivoid clade have lost their IRB, representing the fifth case of IR loss within autotrophic angiosperms. Coinciding with the loss of the IR, plastomes of the putranjivoid clade have experienced significant structural variations including gene and intron losses, multiple large inversions, as well as the translocation and duplication of plastome segments. However, Balanopaceae, one of the close relatives of the putranjivoid clade, exhibit a relatively conserved plastome organization with canonical IRs. Our results corroborate earlier reports that the IR loss and additional structural reorganizations are closely linked, hinting at a shared mechanism that underpins structural disturbances.

Project description:DNA replication errors are a major driver of evolutionâ??from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale copy number variations (CNVs). Here we test a specific replication-based model to explain the generation of interstitial, inverted triplications. While no genetic information is lost, the novel inversion junctions and increased copy number of the included sequences create the potential for adaptive phenotypes. The modelâ??Origin-Dependent Inverted-Repeat Amplification (ODIRA)â??proposes that a replication error at pre-existing short, interrupted, inverted repeats in genomic sequences generates an extrachromosomal, inverted dimeric, autonomously replicating intermediate; subsequent genomic integration of the dimer yields this class of CNV without loss of distal chromosomal sequences. We used a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to test the feasibility of the proposed replication error and its downstream consequences on chromosome structure in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that the proposed replication errorâ??the ligation of leading and lagging nascent strands to create a "closed" forkâ??can occur in vitro at short, interrupted inverted repeats. The removal of molecules with closed forks results in a hairpin-capped linear duplex that we show replicates in vivo to create an inverted, dimeric plasmid that subsequently integrates into the genome by homologous recombination, creating an inverted triplication. While other models have been proposed to explain inverted triplications and their derivatives, our model can also explain the generation of human, de novo, inverted amplicons that have a 2:1 mixture of sequences from both homologues of a single parentâ??a feature readily explained by a plasmid intermediate that arises from one homologue and integrates into the other homolog prior to meiosis. Our tests of key features of ODIRA lend support to this mechanism and suggest further avenues of enquiry to unravel the origins of interstitial, inverted CNVs pivotal in human health and evolution These are all CGH arrays comparing DNA copy number between evolved yeast strains and a euploid wt strain.
