The phylogenomic position of the smalleye whip ray Himantura microphthalma (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) inferred from the mitochondrial genome.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the smalleye whip ray Himantura microphthalma was first determined. The total length of the complete mitogenome is 17,636?bp, consisted of 37 genes with a typical gene order in vertebrate mitogenome. A total of 63?bp short intergenic spaces and 25?bp overlaps were found between 17 and 6 gene junctions. The overall base composition is 31.2% A, 29.2% T, 26.4% C, and 13.2% G. Two start codons (GTG and ATG) as well as two stop codons (TAG and TAA/T) were used in protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic result suggests that H. microphthalma should be assigned to the genus Dasyatis.

Genetype and phylogenomic position of the frilled shark Chlamydoselachus anguineus inferred from the mitochondrial genome.

Project description:The genetype of Chlamydoselachus anguineus from Australian waters is described using the whole mitochondrial genome obtained from Illumina NGS technology. Total length of the mitogenome is 17 313 bp, consisting of 2 rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions thus updating the previously available mitogenome for this species. The phylogenomic reconstruction comprising all available species of Superorder Squalomorphi supports the inclusion of C. anguineus in a divergent clade inside Order Hexanchiformes. Phyletic relationships inferred from the whole mitochondrial genomes are in agreement with traditional taxonomy. The low divergence between C. anguineus genomes (>99.9% genetic identity) is consistent with a widespread population in the west Pacific Ocean.

Project description:In this study, the complete mitogenome of the Smooth lanternshark Etmopterus pusillus (Squaliformes: Etmopteridae) was firstly determined. It was 16,729 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 putative control region with typical order to that of most other vertebrates.

Two new cestode species of Tetragonocephalum Shipley & Hornell, 1905 (Lecanicephalidea, Tetragonocephalidae) from Himantura randalli Last, Manjaji-Matsumoto & Moore (Myliobatiformes, Dasyatidae) from the Gulf of Oman.

Project description:The original description of the genus Tetragonocephalum was published more than one hundred years ago but its taxonomic status was clarified only recently. To date, approximately 30 nominal species of this genus have been described, mostly from the northern Indian Ocean, but nearly half of them are invalid and only 14 species are recognized as valid. In the present study two new species of Tetragonocephalum are described from the spiral intestine of Himantura randalli from off Jod, on the northern coast of the Gulf of Oman. Tetragonocephalum sabaesp. n. is distinguishable from the valid species of Tetragonocephalum based on number of proglottids (43-53), number of testes (42-50), and size of scolex (401-453×328-455), acetabula (87-109×72-116), mature proglottids (802-1,333×226-336), cirrus sac (92-160×103-154), and eggs (16-19×11-13). Tetragonocephalum salariisp. n. can be distinguished from Tetragonocephalum sabaesp. n. and all other valid species of Tetragonocephalum based on number of proglottids (77-86). Furthermore, it differs from its congeners based on a combination of some characteristics, including the number of mature (3-7) and gravid (18-20) proglottids, the number of testes (30-38), and the size of acetabula (84-111×80-96), mature proglottids (497-833×334-403), gravid proglottids (1,036-1,482×440-575), testes (20-34×31-50), ovary (123-215×210-278), and eggs (24-45×13-21).

Identification of a histone derived, putative antimicrobial peptide Himanturin from round whip ray Himantura pastinacoides and its phylogenetic significance.

Project description:Histone H2A participates in host defense responses by producing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The present study deals with identification of a putative antimicrobial sequence, Himanturin from the histone H2A of Round Whip Ray, Himantura pastinacoides. A 204 bp fragment encoding 68 amino acid residues was amplified from cDNA of Round Whip Ray, H. pastinacoides. Himanturin exhibited high similarity to previously reported histone H2A derived AMPs indicating the presence of an antimicrobial sequence motif. Physicochemical properties of Himanturin suggest it to be a potential antimicrobial candidate.

A histone H2A-derived antimicrobial peptide, Hipposin from mangrove whip ray, Himantura walga: Molecular and functional characterisation.

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are biologically dynamic molecules produced by all type of organisms as a fundamental component of their innate immune system. The present study deals with the identification of a histone H2A-derived antimicrobial peptide, Hipposin from mangrove whip ray, Himantura walga. A 243 base pair fragment encoding 81 amino acid residues amplified from complementary DNA was identified as Hipposin and termed as Hw-Hip. Homologous analysis showed that Hw-Hip belongs to the Histone H2A superfamily and shares sequence identity with other histone-derived AMPs from fishes. Phylogenetic analysis of Hw-Hip displayed clustering with the fish H2A histones. Secondary structure analysis showed the presence of three α-helices and four random coils with a prominent proline hinge. The physicochemical properties of Hw-Hip are in agreement with the properties of antimicrobial peptides. A 39-mer active peptide sequence was released by proteolytic cleavage in silico. Functional characterisation of active peptide in silico revealed antibacterial, anticancer and antibiofilm activities making Hw-Hip a promising candidate for further exploration.

The phylogenomic position of the Critically Endangered Largetooth Sawfish Pristis pristis (Rhinopristiformes, Pristidae), inferred from the complete mitochondrial genome.

Project description:The complete mitogenome of the Critically Endangered Largetooth Sawfish Pristis pristis (Rhinopristiformes, Pristidae) is presented in this study. The genome is 16,912?bp in length with a nucleotide base composition of 32.0% A, 26.5% C, 13.2% G, and 28.3% T, containing 37 genes typical of vertebrates. Two start (GTG and ATG) and two stop (TAG and TAA/T) codons are found in the protein-coding genes. The 22 tRNA genes range from 66?bp (tRNA-Ser2) to 75?bp (tRNA-Leu1). The tRNA-Pro gene is duplicated with an unknown sequence between the two copies. Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction showed that P. pristis clusters with the Pristis clade with strong posterior probability (100%).

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Devil Ray, Mobula thurstoni (Lloyd, 1908) (Myliobatiformes: Myliobatidae).

Project description:The Devil Ray (Mobula thurstoni) is a species with global distribution and is an important species in conservation terms, here we present its complete mitochondrial genome assembled with Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome was 17,610?bp in length, and consists of 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Base composition is 30.7% A, 29.1% T, 26.5% C, and 13.7% G, and 40.2% GC content. Protein-coding genes present two start codon (ATG and GUG) and seven stop codon (UAA, AUA, UUU, UUA, AAU, CCU, and UAG). The control region possesses the highest A?+?T (66.6%) content among all mitochondrial regions. These data would contribute to the evolutionary studies of this genus, where there has been recent reclassification.
