Evolutionary Dynamics of rDNAs and U2 Small Nuclear DNAs in Triportheus (Characiformes, Triportheidae): High Variability and Particular Syntenic Organization

Abstract: Multigene families correspond to a group of genes tandemly repeated, showing enormous diversity in both number of units and genomic organization. In fishes, unlike rDNAs that have been well explored in cytogenetic studies, U2 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes are poorly investigated concerning their chromosomal localization. All Triportheus species (Characiformes, Triportheidae) studied so far carry a ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes system, where the W chromosome contains a huge 18S rDNA cistron. In some species the synte… Show more

“…The synteny of 5S rRNA and U2 snRNA has been observed in other eukaryotes [Cross and Rebordinos, 2005;Manchado et al, 2006;Scacchetti et al, 2015;Yano et al, 2017]. The localization of the 5S rRNA, U2 snRNA, and histone gene families in the same chromosome arm in our study is in agreement with the trend of clustering of housekeeping genes, genes that are highly expressed and required for basal cellular function, proposed for the human genome [Lercher et al, 2002].…”

“…The karyotype and 5S rDNA-FISH results agreed with previous studies (Artoni et al, 2001;Diniz et al, 2009;Marquioni et al, 2013;Yano et al, 2016Yano et al, , 2017b. In all species, the double-FISH results demonstrate that U1 snRNA and 5S rRNA are colocalized in the ninth chromosome pair (Figure 3), including T. auritus, which belongs to the first lineage that diverged from the ancestor of the genus (Mariguela et al, 2016).…”

“…As expected, the transcribed region showed lower divergence among species, but even in that, T. auritus was the species with higher divergence. Besides nucleotide divergence, T. auritus also shows the most divergence cytogenetic data concerning number of 5S rDNA sites (Yano et al, 2017b). While all other species show one or two chromosome pairs bearing 5S rDNA sequences, T. auritus present 5 pairs (Figure 3B).…”

“…Although scarce, the mapping of U2 snDNA sequences in different individuals has demonstrated that these sequences may be linked with other multigene families. According to Yano et al (2017), in four Triportheus Cope, 1872 species, the U2 snRNA genes are syntenic with both rDNAs (18S and 5S), while in Triportheus albus Cope, 1872, the U2 snRNA genes are syntenic with 18S rDNA and in other three Triportheus species, the U2 snRNA genes are not syntenic with rDNAs. The last described pattern is common in fish (Pelliccia et al, 2001;Manchado et al, 2006;Úbeda-Manzanaro et al, 2010;Utsunomia et al, 2014;Scacchetti et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2015).…”
