Abstract:Evolutionary fates of duplicated genes have been widely investigated in many polyploid plants and animals, but research is scarce in recurrent polyploids. In this study, we focused on foxl2, a central player in ovary, and elaborated the functional divergence in gibel carp (Carassius gibelio), a recurrent auto-allo-hexaploid fish. First, we identified three divergent foxl2 homeologs (Cgfoxl2a-B, Cgfoxl2b-A, and Cgfoxl2b-B), each of them possessing three highly conserved alleles and revealed their biased retenti… Show more
“…In this study, we identified two homeologs of Cgviperins with about 91% identity, and each homeolog has three alleles with high identities (≥99.0%) and located on three homologous chromosomes separately (Supplementary Figure S1 and Figure 1C). Compared to zebrafish, our results (Figures 1B, D) indicated that the duplication of Cgviperin, same as gibel carp other genes (i.e., dmrt1, foxl2, nanos2 and bmp15) (55,60,69,70), may derive from the early allotetraploidy (4R) and a late autotriploidy (5R) event. In addition, Cgviperin-A and Cgviperin-B showed a different tissue-dependent constitutive expressions, suggesting A or B homologs might occur dominant or biased expression of homeologs during gibel carp evolution.…”

“…One of the two duplicates may be fractionated (deleted), or both may be retained, or diverge and evolve (sub- or neofunctionalization) ( 3 ). Recently, we revealed the biased expression and sub-/neofunctionalization of multiple duplicated foxl2 homeologs and alleles in gibel carp ( 60 ). Innate immunity plays a vital role in the first barrier protecting the host from invading viruses ( 68 ).…”

Chromosome preparation and FISH analyses were performed as described previously ( 55 , 60 ). All metaphase chromosomes were counterstained with 4’, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).…”
Polyploidy and subsequent diploidization provide genomic opportunities for evolutionary innovations and adaptation. The researches on duplicated gene evolutionary fates in recurrent polyploids have seriously lagged behind that in paleopolyploids with diploidized genomes. Moreover, the antiviral mechanisms of Viperin remain largely unclear in fish. Here, we elaborate the distinct antiviral mechanisms of two viperin homeologs (Cgviperin-A and Cgviperin-B) in auto-allo-hexaploid gibel carp (Carassius gibelio). First, Cgviperin-A and Cgviperin-B showed differential and biased expression patterns in gibel carp adult tissues. Subsequently, using co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) screening analysis, both CgViperin-A and CgViperin-B were found to interact with crucian carp (C. auratus) herpesvirus (CaHV) open reading frame 46 right (ORF46R) protein, a negative herpesvirus regulator of host interferon (IFN) production, and to promote the proteasomal degradation of ORF46R via decreasing K63-linked ubiquitination. Additionally, CgViperin-B also mediated ORF46R degradation through autophagosome pathway, which was absent in CgViperin-A. Moreover, we found that the N-terminal α-helix domain was necessary for the localization of CgViperin-A and CgViperin-B at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and the C-terminal domain of CgViperin-A and CgViperin-B was indispensable for the interaction with degradation of ORF46R. Therefore, the current findings clarify the divergent antiviral mechanisms of the duplicated viperin homeologs in a recurrent polyploid fish, which will shed light on the evolution of teleost duplicated genes.

“…Hexaploid gibel carp (C. gibelio) was originated from sympatric progenitor tetraploid crucian carp (Carassius auratus) via autotriploidy about 0.5 million years ago (Mya) (Li et al, 2014). Genomic anatomy and single-gene analysis revealed that gibel carp was an allohexaploid (AAABBB) in comparison with the allotetraploid crucian carp (AABB) (Li et al, 2014;Gan et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2021;Wang et al, under review). Three alleles in subgenome A and three alleles in subgenome B make the genome unable to pair during meiosis (Gan et al, 2021) and the hexaploid gibel carp conquers the reproductive obstacles via unisexual gynogenesis (Gui and Zhou, 2010;Zhou and Gui, 2017), in which unreduced eggs are activated by the sperm of sympatric sexual species to initiate embryogenesis with only maternal genetic information.…”

Compared with sexual tetraploid crucian carp, gynogenetic hexaploid gibel carp exhibits wider geographic distribution and higher genetic diversity (Jiang et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2017a).…”
Unisexual lineages are commonly considered to be short-lived in the evolutionary process as accumulation of deleterious mutations stated by Muller’s ratchet. However, the gynogenetic hexaploid gibel carp (Carassius gibelio) with existence over 0.5 million years has wider ecological distribution and higher genetic diversity than its sexual progenitors, which provides an ideal model to investigate the underlying mechanisms on countering Muller’s ratchet in unisexual taxa. Unlike other unisexual lineages, the wild populations of gibel carp contain rare and variable proportions of males (1–26%), which are determined via two strategies including genotypic sex determination and temperature-dependent sex determination. Here, we used a maternal gibel carp from strain F to be mated with a genotypic male from strain A+, a temperature-dependent male from strain A+, and a male from another species common carp (Cyprinus carpio), respectively. When the maternal individual was mated with the genotypic male, a variant of gynogenesis was initiated, along with male occurrence, accumulation of microchromosomes, and creation of genetic diversity in the offspring. When the maternal individual was mated with the temperature-dependent male and common carp, typical gynogenesis was initiated that all the offspring showed the same genetic information as the maternal individual. Subsequently, we found out that the genotypic male nucleus swelled and contacted with the female nucleus after fertilization although it was extruded from the female nucleus eventually, which might be associated with the genetic variation in the offspring. These results reveal that genotypic males play an important role in the creation of genetic diversity in gynogenetic gibel carp, which provides insights into the evolution of unisexual reproduction.
