  • 摘要: 为探讨蚌类在DUI机制下的进化特征, 本文通过测序和比较高顶鳞皮蚌F与M型线粒体基因组, 并结合系统发育分析和选择压力分析开展研究。结果表明, 高顶鳞皮蚌F/M型线粒体全基因组序列全长为分别为15768和17008 bp, A+T含量在两型中均约64%, 呈AT偏好性; 共编码37个基因, 包括13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs), 22个tRNA和2个rRNA, 其中26个基因位于轻链、11个基因位于重链; tRNA结构存在缺陷, F/M型trnS缺失tψc环, M型trnY缺失DHU环; 相对密码子使用频率(RSCU)分析显示TTT在F型(RSCU=1.55)和M型(RSCU=1.63)中均为使用频率最高的密码子; 系统发育树显示F/M型线粒体明确分化为两大单系群; 基因选择压力分析提示M型Ka/Ks值高于F型, atp8为潜在的性别分化相关基因。本研究系统揭示了高顶鳞皮蚌F和M型线粒体基因组的结构差异、碱基组成、密码子特征及非编码区布局, 支持了蚌类F与M型基因组在系统发育上的并行进化模式, 不仅为该物种线粒体基因组的深入比较和应用研究提供基础数据, 更有助于深化对DUI现象的理解。

     

    Abstract: Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA, a rare exception to the strict maternal inheritance typical in animals, occurs only in certain bivalve families and is characterized by distinct gender-associated mtDNA lineages through males (M-type) or females (F-type). Due to frequent undetection, M-type sequences remain underrepresented in GenBank, impeding deeper understanding of DUI phenomenon. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete M and F mitogenomes of the freshwater mussel Lepidodesma languilati. The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the F-type and M-type in L. languilati were 15768 bp and 17008 bp in length, respectively. Both exhibited a strong AT bias, with an A+T content of approximately 64%. Each genome encoded 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. Twenty-six genes were located on the light strand and 11 on the heavy strand. Structural defects were observed in several tRNAs: both F and M-type trnS genes lacked the TψC loop, and the M-type trnY gene lacked the DHU arm. Relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) analysis showed that TTT was the most frequently used codon in both F-type (RSCU=1.55) and M-type (RSCU=1.63) genomes. Phylogenetic analysis clearly demonstrated that the F and M-type mitochondrial genomes form two distinct monophyletic clades. Selective pressure analysis suggests atp8 as a potential sex-differentiation-related gene. In summary, this study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the structural differences, base composition, codon usage patterns, and non-coding region organization between the F and M-type mitochondrial genomes of L. languilati, supporting a pattern of parallel evolution between the two genomes in phylogenetic context. These findings not only provide fundamental data for further comparative and applied studies of the mitochondrial genome in this species, but also contribute to a deeper understanding of the DUI phenomenon.
