“…The longest overlap was 35 bp located between the cox2 and trnK genes, and the second largest was 20 bp long located between trnF and nad5. The third longest was 8 bp between trnW and trnC, with similarly sized overlaps also detected in other lepidopteran species (Hong et al, 2008). As expected, the 7 bp overlap within the atp8 and atp6 reading frames, which is characteristic of many animal mitogenomes (Boore, 1999;Hong et al, 2008), was also detected in this study.…”

“…The P. sulpitia mitogenome harbored 22 tRNA genes, which were scattered throughout its whole region as is typically observed in metazoans including insects (Cha et al, 2007;Crozier & Crozier, 1993;Hong et al, 2008;Kim et al, 2010;Wilson et al, 2000;Yukuhiro et al, 2002). All tRNAs presented typical clover-leaf structure, with the unique exception of trnS1 (AGN), which lacked the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem (Fig.…”

“…As for the cox1 initiation codon in animals, significantly different cases have been reported, for example, tetranucleotides such as TTAG in Coreana raphaelis (Kim et al, 2006), ATAA in Drosophila yakuba (Clary & Wolstenholme, 1985) are used, while hexanucleotides such as TATTAG in Ostrinia nubilalis and Ostrinia furnicalis (Coates et al, 2005), TTTTAG in Bombyx mori (Yukuhiro et al, 2002), TATCTA in Penaeus monodon (Wilson et al, 2000), ATTTAA in Anopheles gambiae (Beard et al, 1993), Anopheles quadrimaculatus (Mitchell et al, 1993), and Ceratitis capitata (Spanos et al, 2000) are used. Generally, the trinucleotide TTG was assumed to be the cox1 start codon for some invertebrate taxa including insect species, such as Pyrocoelia rufa (Bae et al, 2004), Caligula boisdnvalii (Hong et al, 2008), and Acraea issoria . In this study, however, according to sequence homologies with other available relevant insect species, the codon CGA was hypothesized to be the cox1 initiator synapomorphically characteristic of most lepidopteran species (Kim et al, 2009(Kim et al, , 2010.…”

“…The second largest intergenic spacer was 52 bp long, located between the trnQ and nad2 genes. This spacer is present in all lepidopteran mitogenomes sequenced, but absent in all non-lepidopteran insects (Hong et al, 2008). The sequence alignment of this spacer with the neighboring nad2 gene revealed a sequence homology of 62%, and thus, this spacer was proposed to have been originated from a partial duplication of the nad2 gene (Kim et al, 2009), with similar cases presented in other sequenced lepidopterans, such as Artogeia melete (70%) , C. raphaelis (62%) (Kim et al, 2006), Parnassius bremeri (70%) (Kim et al, 2009), and Phthonandria atrilineata (70%) ).…”

Abstract:The complete mitochondrial genome of the Parathyma sulpitia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Limenitidinae) was determined. The entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule was 15 268 bp in size. Its gene content and organization were the same as those of other lepidopteran species, except for the presence of the 121 bp long intergenic spacer between trnS1(AGN) and trnE. The 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) started with the typical ATN codon, with the exception of the cox1 gene that used CGA as its initial codon. In addition, all protein-coding genes terminated at the common stop codon TAA, except the nad4 gene which used a single T as its terminating codon. All 22 tRNA genes possessed the typical clover leaf secondary structure except for trnS1(AGN), which had a simple loop with the absence of the DHU stem. Excluding the A+T-rich region, the mtDNA genome of P. sulpitia harbored 11 intergenic spacers, the longest of which was 121 bp long with the highest A+T content (100%), located between trnS1(AGN) and trnE. As in other lepidopteran species, there was an 18-bp poly-T stretch at the 3'-end of the A+T-rich region, and there were a few short microsatellite-like repeat regions without conspicuous macro-repeats in the A+T-rich region. The phylogenetic analyses of the published complete mt genomes from nine Nymphalidae species were conducted using the concatenated sequences of 13 PCGs with maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. The results indicated that Limenitidinae was a sister to the Heliconiinae among the main Nymphalidae lineages in this study, strongly supporting the results of previous molecular data, while contradicting speculations based on morphological characters.

“…The DHU arm of tRNA ser (AGN) has only a simple loop, common in most insects (Hong et al, 2008;Salvato et al, 2008;Wolstenholme, 1992). Similar to Parnassius bremeri (Kim et al, 2009), the tRNAs of A. ilia harbor 7 base pairs in amino-acyl stems, 5 base pairs in anticodon stems, and 7 base pairs in anticodon loop.…”

Abstract:The complete mitochondrial genome of Apatura ilia (GenBank accession no. JF437925) was determined as a circular DNA molecule of 15 242 bp, with common genes of 13 putative proteins, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs and of the same gene arrangement as in other sequenced lepidopterans. All protein-coding genes had the typical start codon ATN, except for the COI's using CGA as its start codon as previously demonstrated in other lepidopteran species. The comparison of the nucleotide sequences of the A. ilia mitogenome with ten other Nymphalidae species showed nearly identical gene orientation and arrangement, with only a few alterations in non-coding fragments. The nucleotide composition and codon frequency all fell into the range estimated for the order Lepidoptera. The A. ilia mitochondrial genome had the canonical set of 22 tRNA genes folded in the typical cloverleaf structure, with an unique exception of tRNA Ser (AGN). The mitochondrial genes from A. ilia were overlapped in a total of 33 bp at 9 locations, as well as interleaved with a total of 155 bp intergenic spacers, spread over 12 regions with the size ranging from 1 to 49 bp. Furthermore, the spacer between ND6 and Cyt b harbored a microsatellite-like repeat (TA) 23 not found in other completely sequenced nymphalid genomes. The 403 bp AT-rich region harbored two conserved motifs (ATAGA, ATTTA), a 21 bp polyT stretch, a 10 bp poly-A region, along with two microsatellite-like repeats ( (TA) 10 and (TA) 7 ), as detected in other nymphalid butterflies.

The complete mitogenome of the Formosan termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki

The Formosan termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki is a well-known invasive pest that causes severe damage to wooden structures in many parts of the world.Although several studies examined its phylogeographic patterns using a few mitochondrial genes, the phylogenetic relationships among C. formosanus are poorly understood because of the small number of mutations known among its mitochondrial genes. To provide a useful genetic tool for further analyses, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. formosanus using specimens collected from three isolated islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago of Japan. The circular mitogenome of these termites consisted of genes encoding 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and 13 mitochondrial proteins, as is the case for most animal mitochondrial genomes. The G ? C content was 34.1%, and the total length varied slightly between 16,234 and 16,236 base pairs. The complete mitochondrial genomes of the three populations were more than 99.9% identical to each other and showed differences at six nucleotide positions. The COII, 12S rRNA, and 16S rRNA genes that are commonly used for phylogenetic analyses revealed only one substitution or no substitutions. The mitogenome sequences determined here should contribute to the design of new molecular markers for the clarification of the historical distribution process of C. formosanus and for further phylogenetic analyses with this and related termite species.
