The complete mitochondrial genome of Cladobotryum mycophilum (Hypocreales: Sordariomycetes).

ABSTRACT: Cladobotryum mycophilum is the causal agent of cobweb disease in many important mushroom crops. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of C. mycophilum for the first time. The genome is 78,729 bp long and comprises 52 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 26 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The nucleotide composition of C. mycophilum mitochondrial genome is as follows: A (38.06%), T (34.68%), C (12.19%), and G (15.07%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. mycophilum had a close relationship with Cladobotryum varium from Hypocreaceae. This study provided a basis for studies of the mitochondrial evolution of Hypocreaceae.

Project description:BackgroundThe fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia parasitizes nematode eggs and has become one of the most promising biological control agents (BCAs) for plant-parasitic nematodes, which are major agricultural pests that cause tremendous economic losses worldwide. The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome is expected to open new avenues for understanding the phylogenetic relationships and evolution of the invertebrate-pathogenic fungi in Hypocreales.ResultsThe complete mitogenome sequence of P. chlamydosporia is 25,615 bp in size, containing the 14 typical protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, an intronic ORF coding for a putative ribosomal protein (rps3) and a set of 23 transfer RNA genes (trn) which recognize codons for all amino acids. Sequence similarity studies and syntenic gene analyses show that 87.02% and 58.72% of P. chlamydosporia mitogenome sequences match 90.50% of Metarhizium anisopliae sequences and 61.33% of Lecanicillium muscarium sequences with 92.38% and 86.04% identities, respectively. A phylogenetic tree inferred from 14 mt proteins in Pezizomycotina fungi supports that P. chlamydosporia is most closely related to the entomopathogenic fungus M. anisopliae. The invertebrate-pathogenic fungi in Hypocreales cluster together and clearly separate from a cluster comprising plant-pathogenic fungi (Fusarium spp.) and Hypocrea jecorina. A comparison of mitogenome sizes shows that the length of the intergenic regions or the intronic regions is the major size contributor in most of mitogenomes in Sordariomycetes. Evolutionary analysis shows that rps3 is under positive selection, leading to the display of unique evolutionary characteristics in Hypocreales. Moreover, the variability of trn distribution has a clear impact on gene order in mitogenomes. Gene rearrangement analysis shows that operation of transposition drives the rearrangement events in Pezizomycotina, and most events involve in trn position changes, but no rearrangement was found in Clavicipitaceae.ConclusionsWe present the complete annotated mitogenome sequence of P. chlamydosporia. Based on evolutionary and phylogenetic analyses, we have determined the relationships between the invertebrate-pathogenic fungi in Hypocreales. The invertebrate-pathogenic fungi in Hypocreales referred to in this paper form a monophyletic group sharing a most recent common ancestor. Our rps3 and trn gene order results also establish a foundation for further exploration of the evolutionary trajectory of the fungi in Hypocreales.

Project description:The complete sequence of honeybee (Apis mellifera) mitochondrial DNA is reported being 16,343 bp long in the strain sequenced. Relative to their positions in the Drosophila map, 11 of the tRNA genes are in altered positions, but the other genes and regions are in the same relative positions. Comparisons of the predicted protein sequences indicate that the honeybee mitochondrial genetic code is the same as that for Drosophila; but the anticodons of two tRNAs differ between these two insects. The base composition shows extreme bias, being 84.9% AT (cf. 78.6% in Drosophila yakuba). In protein-encoding genes, the AT bias is strongest at the third codon positions (which in some cases lack guanines altogether), and least in second codon positions. Multiple stepwise regression analysis of the predicted products of the protein-encoding genes shows a significant association between the numbers of occurrences of amino acids and %T in codon family, but not with the number of codons per codon family or other parameters associated with codon family base composition. Differences in amino acid abundances are apparent between the predicted Apis and Drosophila proteins, with a relative abundance in the Apis proteins of lysine and a relative deficiency of alanine. Drosophila alanine residues are as often replaced by serine as conserved in Apis. The differences in abundances between Drosophila and Apis are associated with %AT in the codon families, and the degree of divergence in amino acid composition between proteins correlates with the divergence in %AT at the second codon positions. Overall, transversions are about twice as abundant as transitions when comparing Drosophila and Apis protein-encoding genes, but this ratio varies between codon positions. Marked excesses of transitions over chance expectation are seen for the third positions of protein-coding genes and for the gene for the small subunit of ribosomal RNA. For the third codon positions the excess of transitions is adequately explained as due to the restriction of observable substitutions to transitions for conserved amino acids with two-codon families; the excess of transitions over expectation for the small ribosomal subunit suggests that the conservation of nucleotide size is favored by selection.
