“…A high frequency of DOM haplotypes was also detected in the Russian Far East, thereby supporting previous claims of DOM-MUS-CAS interactions in this area based on studies of chromosomes, allozymes and random-amplified-polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers (Frisman et al, 2011;Spiridonova et al, 2011). Interestingly though, the DOM haplotypes recovered at Primorye (HS1466) and Sakhalin (HS3606, HS3607) are not 'Clade F' but are related specifically to haplotypes from Cameroon (for example, AFWCMR41; Bonhomme et al, 2011).…”

We examined the sequence variation of mitochondrial DNA control region and cytochrome b gene of the house mouse (Mus musculus sensu lato) drawn from ca. 200 localities, with 286 new samples drawn primarily from previously unsampled portions of their Eurasian distribution and with the objective of further clarifying evolutionary episodes of this species before and after the onset of human-mediated long-distance dispersals. Phylogenetic analysis of the expanded data detected five equally distinct clades, with geographic ranges of northern Eurasia (musculus, MUS), India and Southeast Asia (castaneus, CAS), Nepal (unspecified, NEP), western Europe (domesticus, DOM) and Yemen (gentilulus). Our results confirm previous suggestions of Southwestern Asia as the likely place of origin of M. musculus and the region of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India, specifically as the ancestral homeland of CAS. The divergence of the subspecies lineages and of internal sublineage differentiation within CAS were estimated to be 0.37-0.47 and 0.14-0.23 million years ago (mya), respectively, assuming a split of M. musculus and Mus spretus at 1.7 mya. Of the four CAS sublineages detected, only one extends to eastern parts of India, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Philippines, South China, Northeast China, Primorye, Sakhalin and Japan, implying a dramatic range expansion of CAS out of its homeland during an evolutionary short time, perhaps associated with the spread of agricultural practices. Multiple and non-coincident eastward dispersal events of MUS sublineages to distant geographic areas, such as northern China, Russia and Korea, are inferred, with the possibility of several different routes.

“…The subdivision of the house mouse into the tentatively designated phylogroups musculus and wagneri has been inferred from morphological, ecological, cytogenetic, electrophoretic, and molecular studies (e.g. [ 25 , 28 – 31 ]). Three possible source areas of the human-associated prehistoric dispersals of MUS are marked with star symbols: 1) Transcaucasia, 2) Turkmenistan/Kazakhstan, and 3) the Taklamakan Desert (see text) …”

“…Valuable information regarding MUS mice has been obtained from electrophoretic studies of β-globin (Hbb) and subsequent molecular studies on the corresponding gene ( Hbb ) (e.g., [ 6 , 31 , 40 – 44 ]). In M. musculus four major Hbb haplotypes, d , p , s , and w1 , have been identified [ 31 ]. CAS is known to segregate into Hbb d and Hbb p haplotypes.…”

“…At the same time, Hbb s is observed sporadically in MUS populations of northern Eurasia, from eastern Europe in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. Mice from the Asian territory of MUS possess the haplotypes Hbb d , Hbb p , and Hbb w1 [ 31 , 42 , 48 , 49 ]. Hbb d mainly occurs in populations of “north areas of MUS” from eastern Europe and Siberia.…”

“…On the other hand, it is also necessary to consider the possibility of post-dispersal hybridization events between the northern and southern MUS lineages, since they share the Hbb haplotypes of their counterparts as minor elements. The geographical distribution of the Hbb haplotypes in MUS can be explained by either the invasion of Hbb p and Hbb w1 mice into populations in the northern area or the converse invasion of Hbb d mice into populations in the southern area associated with human settlement in central Asia [ 31 ].…”

Tracing the eastward dispersal of the house mouse, Mus musculus

Here we describe recent advances in our understanding of the natural history of the house mouse, Mus musculus, with a focus on the genetic characteristics of the home territories and how this relates to prehistoric eastward movements from the predicted source areas. Recent studies of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences provide insight into the ancient divergence of the three subspecies groups, M. m. castaneus (CAS), M. m. domesticus (DOM), and M. m. musculus (MUS), with inferred natural habits (homelands) in central (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India), western (western Iran), and northern (central Asia) areas, respectively. Our mitochondrial DNA and nuclear gene analyses indicate that only one local lineage of CAS extended its range via historical rapid expansion at two different times to Southeast Asia and East Asia, including Japan and southern Sakhalin. This is suggestive of a rapid range expansion of CAS out of its homeland, perhaps associated with the spread of agricultural practices in Asia. The subspecies group MUS now occurs in a large portion of northern Eurasia from eastern Europe in the West to the Japanese Islands in the East, including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, southern Siberia, northern China, and Korea, showing divergent patterns in terms of Mus musculus genetics, particularly in relation to nuclear gene sequences, allozymes (e.g., hemoglobin), morphological characteristics, and cytogenetic C-banding patterns. In this review article, we explain the complex spatial patterns of MUS. We postulate that two historical dispersal events took place, from two different source areas, and tentatively assign the taxon names “musculus” and “wagneri” to the two populations, which are associated with distinct genetic modules.

Various molecular forms of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) have been characterized in insects. Post-translational modification is known to be a major mechanism for the molecular diversity of insect AChE. However, multiple forms of Drosophila melanogaster AChE (DmAChE) were recently suggested to be generated via alternative splicing (Kim and Lee, 2013). To confirm alternative splicing as the mechanism for generating the soluble form of DmAChE, we generated a transgenic fly strain carrying the cDNA of DmAChE gene (Dm_ace) that predominantly expressed a single transcript variant encoding the membrane-anchored dimer. 3' RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) and western blotting were performed to compare Dm_ace transcript variants and DmAChE forms between wild-type and transgenic strains. Various Dm_ace transcripts and DmAChE molecular forms were observed in wild-type flies, whereas the transgenic fly predominantly expressed Dm_ace transcript variant encoding the membrane-anchored dimer. This supports alternative splicing as the major determinant in the generation of multiple forms of DmAChE. In addition, treatment with DDVP as a chemical stress induced the expression of the Dm_ace splice variant without the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor site in a dose-dependent manner and, accordingly, the soluble form of DmAChE in wild-type flies. In contrast, little soluble DmAChE was expressed in the transgenic fly upon exposure to DDVP. DDVP bioassays revealed that transgenic flies, which were unable to express a sufficient amount of soluble monomeric DmAChE, were more sensitive to DDVP compared to wild-type flies, suggesting that the soluble monomer may exert non-neuronal functions, such as chemical defense against xenobiotics.
