“…Nevertheless, Pérez-del Olmo et al (2007) Infection site: intestine, pyloric ceca, stomach Hysterothylacium aduncum is a common parasite not only of marine fish but also of brackish fish (Fagerholm, 1982). This parasite was found in various marine fish in the Pacific Ocean (Shih and Jeng, 2002) and the Atlantic Ocean (Sey, 1970a;Gaevskaya and Rodyuk, 1988;Williams and Bunkley-Williams, 1996;Alvarez et al, 2002;Costa and Biscoito, 2003;Morozinska-Gogol, 2006MacKenzie et al, 2008;Kellermanns et al, 2009) and the Antarctic region (Brickle et al, 2005). Furthermore, it is understood from an analysis of research presented in various related …”

“…The macroparasites of three-and nine-spined sticklebacks are well-characterized, including host-specific parasites but also a broad overlap in parasites between both host species (Morozinska-Gogol 2006;Zander 2007;Raeymaekers et al 2008). Habitatspecific parasite communities for the three-spined stickleback (Kalbe et al 2002) suggest divergent selection on this host species which is indeed reflected in the locally adapted MHC allele pools of lake and river fish (Wegner et al 2003;Eizaguirre et al 2011;Eizaguirre et al 2012a).…”

Evaluating Patterns of Convergent Evolution and Trans-Species Polymorphism at MHC Immunogenes in Two Sympatric Stickleback Species

The immunologically important major histocompatibility complex (MHC) harbors some of the most polymorphic genes in vertebrates. These genes presumably evolve under parasite-mediated selection and frequently show inconsistent allelic genealogies, where some alleles are more similar between species than within species. This phenomenon is thought to arise either from convergent evolution under parallel selection or from the preservation of ancient allelic lineages beyond speciation events (trans-species polymorphism, TSP). Here, we examine natural populations of two sympatric stickleback species (Gasterosteus aculeatus and Pungitius pungitius) to investigate the contribution of these two mechanisms to the evolution of inconsistent allelic genealogies at the MHC. Overlapping parasite taxa between the two host species in three different habitats suggest contemporary parallel selection on the MHC genes. Accordingly, we detected a lack of species-specific phylogenetic clustering in the immunologically relevant antigen-binding residues of the MHC IIB genes which contrasted with the rest of the coding and noncoding sequence.However, clustering was not habitat-specific and a codon-usage analysis revealed patterns of similarity by descent. In this light, common descent via TSP, in combination with intraspecies gene conversion, rather than convergent evolution is the more strongly supported scenario for the inconsistent genealogy at the MHC.

“…A more plausible explanation is that G. aculeatus Morgue does not correspond to a bona fide stickleback gene but, instead, derives from contaminating molecules present in the cDNA library generated from the larval fish mRNA. The source of such molecules could include live brine shrimp food source (Kingsley D, personal communication) or perhaps a stickleback parasite such as a trematode fluke, nematode, and crustacean (Morozińska-Gogol 2006). At this point, the origin of the stickleback morgue ESTs is not fully resolved.…”

Drosophila Morgue is a unique ubiquitination protein that facilitates programmed cell death and associates with DIAP1, a critical cell death inhibitor with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. Morgue possesses a unique combination of functional domains typically associated with distinct types of ubiquitination enzymes. This includes an F box characteristic of the substrate-binding subunit in Skp, Cullin, and F box (SCF)-type ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes and a variant ubiquitin E2 conjugase domain where the active site cysteine is replaced by a glycine. Morgue also contains a single C4-type zinc finger motif. This architecture suggests potentially novel ubiquitination activities for Morgue. In this study, we address the evolutionary origins of this distinctive protein utilizing a combination of bioinformatics and molecular biology approaches. We find that Morgue exhibits widespread but restricted phylogenetic distribution among metazoans. Morgue proteins were identified in a wide range of Protostome phyla, including Arthropoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Nematoda, and Platyhelminthes. However, with one potential exception, Morgue was not detected in Deuterostomes, including Chordates, Hemichordates, or Echinoderms. Morgue was also not found in Ctenophora, Cnidaria, Placozoa, or Porifera. Characterization of Morgue sequences within specific animal lineages suggests that gene deletion or acquisition has occurred during divergence of nematodes and that at least one arachnid expresses an atypical form of Morgue consisting only of the variant E2 conjugase domain. Analysis of the organization of several morgue genes suggests that exon-shuffling events have contributed to the evolution of the Morgue protein. These results suggest that Morgue mediates conserved and distinctive ubiquitination functions in specific cell death pathways.
