The complete mitochondrial genomes of three Ellobius mole vole species (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

ABSTRACT: The subterranean voles of the genus Ellobius are species of subfamily Arvicolinae well adapted to underground life. In this paper, we report the assemblies of complete mitochondrial genomes for three mole voles from genus Ellobius - northern mole vole Ellobius talpinus (16,376 bp), transcaucasian mole vole E. lutescens (16,540 bp), and southern mole vole E. fuscocapillus (16,388 bp). Each of three mitogenomes encode for 12S and 16S rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and D-loop in the characteristic arrangement of subfamily Arvicolinae (Rodentia: Cricetidae). This study verifies the evolutionary status of subgenera Bramus and Ellobius within the genus Ellobius at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome would be a significant supplement for the Ellobius genetic background. The three Ellobius species formed a monophyletic group with the high bootstrap value (100%) in all examinations.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the common vole, Microtus arvalis (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

Project description:The common vole, Microtus arvalis belongs to the genus Microtus in the subfamily Arvicolinae. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of M. arvalis was recovered using shotgun sequencing and an iterative mapping approach using three related species. Phylogenetic analyses using the sequence of 21 arvicoline species place the common vole as a sister species to the East European vole (Microtus levis), but as opposed to previous results we find no support for the recognition of the genus Neodon within the subfamily Arvicolinae, as this is, as well as the genus Lasiopodomys, found within the Microtus genus.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Three Species of the Genus Microtus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia).

Project description:The 65 species of the genus Microtus have unusual sex-related genetic features and a high rate of karyotype variation. However, only nine complete mitogenomes for these species are currently available. We describe the complete mitogenome sequences of three Microtus, which vary in length from 16,295 bp to 16,331 bp, contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The length of the 13 PCGs and the coded proteins is the same in all three species, and the start and stop codons are conserved. The non-coding regions include the L-strand origin of replication, with the same sequence of 35 bp, and the control region, which varies between 896 bp and 930 bp in length. The control region includes three domains (Domains I, II and III) with extended termination-associated sequences (ETAS-1 and ETAS-2) in Domain I. Domain II and Domain III include five (CSB-B, C, D, E and F) and three (CSB-1, CSB-2, and CSB-3) conserved sequence blocks, respectively. Phylogenetic reconstructions using the mitochondrial genomes of all the available Microtus species and one representative species from another genus of the Arvicolinae subfamily reproduced the established phylogenetic relationships for all the Arvicolinae genera that were analyzed.

Signatures of Adaptation in Mitochondrial Genomes of Palearctic Subterranean Voles (Arvicolinae, Rodentia).

Project description:This study evaluates signatures of selection in the evolution of the mitochondrial DNA of voles, subfamily Arvicolinae, during the colonization of subterranean environments. The comparative sequence analysis of mitochondrial protein-coding genes of eight subterranean vole species (Prometheomys schaposchnikowi, three species of the genus Ellobius: Ellobius talpinus, Ellobius fuscocapillus and Ellobius lutescens, two species of the genus Terricola: Terricola subterraneus and Terricola daghestanicus, Lasiopodomys mandarinus, and Hyperacrius fertilis) and their closest aboveground relatives was applied using codon-substitution models. The highest number of selection signatures was detected in genes ATP8 and CYTB. The relaxation of selection was observed in most mitochondrial DNA protein-coding genes for subterranean species. The largest amount of relaxed genes is discovered in mole voles (genus Ellobius). The number of selection signatures was found to be independent of the evolutionary age of the lineage but fits the degree of specialization to the subterranean niche. The common trends of selective pressures were observed among the evolutionary ancient and highly specialized subterranean rodent families and phylogenetically young lineages of voles. It suggests that the signatures of adaptation in individual mitochondrial protein-coding genes associated with the colonization of the subterranean niche may appear within a rather short evolutionary timespan.

Chromosomal Evolution in Mole Voles Ellobius (Cricetidae, Rodentia): Bizarre Sex Chromosomes, Variable Autosomes and Meiosis.

Project description:This study reports on extensive experimental material covering more than 30 years of studying the genetics of mole voles. Sex chromosomes of Ellobius demonstrate an extraordinary case of mammalian sex chromosomes evolution. Five species of mole voles own three types of sex chromosomes; typical for placentals: XY?/XX?; and atypical X0?/X0?; or XX?/XX?. Mechanisms of sex determination in all Ellobius species remain enigmatic. It was supposed that the Y chromosome was lost twice and independently in subgenera Bramus and Ellobius. Previous to the Y being lost, the X chromosome in distinct species obtained some parts of the Y chromosome, with or without Sry, and accumulated one or several copies of the Eif2s3y gene. Along with enormous variations of sex chromosomes, genes of sex determination pathway and autosomes, and five mole vole species demonstrate ability to establish different meiotic mechanisms, which stabilize their genetic systems and make it possible to overcome the evolutionary deadlocks.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the water vole, Microtus richardsoni (Cricetidae, Rodentia).

Project description:Water voles (Microtus richardsoni) are sensitive species distributed in the mountains of Canada (Alberta, British Columbia), and the United States of America (Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). We assembled the complete circular M. richardsoni mitogenome, which is 16,285 bp in length and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. We estimated the phylogenetic tree of M. richardsoni and 24 related arvicoline species with two outgroup species: Phodopus roborovskii and Cricetus cricetus.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic relationship of Neodon sikimensis (Rodentia: Arvicolinae).

Project description:The Sikkim Mountain vole (Neodon sikimensis) belongs to the subfamily Arvicolinae. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of N. sikimensis. It was determined to be 16,330 bp long and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 control region. The nucleotide sequence data of 12 heavy-strand protein-coding genes of N. sikimensis and other 22 rodents were used for phylogenetic analysis. Tree constructed using Bayesian phylogenetic methods demonstrated that N. sikimensis was a sister to N. irene, and Microtus genus species did not cluster together with each other, making the genus a paraphyletic group.

Complete mitochondrial genomes confirm the generic placement of the plateau vole, Neodon fuscus.

Project description:The plateau vole, Neodon fuscus is endemic to China and is distributed mainly in Qinghai Province. It is of public health interest, as it is, a potential reservoir of Toxoplasma gondii and the intermediate host of Echinococcus multilocularis However, genetic data of this species are lacking, and its name and taxonomy are still a controversy. In the present study, we determined the nucleotide sequence of the entire mitochondrial (mt) genome of N. fuscus and analyzed its evolutionary relationship. The mitogenome was 16328 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 genes for transfer RNAs (tRNA), two ribosomal RNA genes and two major noncoding regions (OL region and D-loop region). Most genes were located on the heavy strand. All tRNA genes had typical cloverleaf structures except for tRNASer (GCU) The mt genome of N. fuscus was rich in A+T (58.45%). Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian methods yielded phylogenetic trees from 33 mt genomes of Arvicolinae, in which N. fuscus formed a sister group with Neodon irene and Neodon sikimensis to the exclusion of species of Microtus and other members of the Arvicolinae. Further phylogenetic analyses (ML only) based on the cytb gene sequences also demonstrated that N. fuscus had a close relationship with N. irene The complete mitochondrial genome was successfully assembled and annotated, providing the necessary information for the phylogenetic analyses. Although the name Lasiopodomys fuscus was used in the book 'Wilson & Reeder's Mammal Species of the World', we have confirmed here that its appropriate name is N. fuscus through an analysis of the evolutionary relationships.
