The complete mitochondrial genome of Ancherythroculter kurematsui (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

Abstract

Ancherythroculter kurematsui ( A. kurematsui ) is a unique small-size freshwater fish in southwest China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. kurematsui was determined (GenBank accession number is KU234534). The mitochondrial genome sequence of A. kurematsui was a circular molecule with 16,621 bp in length, and contained 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes including 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region (D-loop). Four nucleotide compositions and their relative proportions of the entire mitogenome was 27.69% C, 16.16% G, 31.21% A and 24.93% T, with an A + T and G + C contents being 56.14% and 43.86%, respectively.

The complete mitochondrial DNA of Ancherythroculter wangi

“…MG575902. The mitochondrial genome encoded 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding control region, as those found in other Ancherythroculter species (Wan et al 2013;Chen et al 2016;Wang et al 2016). The nucleotide composition of the genome of A. wangi is A 31.2%, T 24.9%, G 16.2% and C 27.7%.…”

“… 2016 ; Wang et al. 2016 ). Most open reading frames ended with two types of complete stop codons TAA and TAG, whereas the other seven genes, ND2 , COX2 , ATP8 , COX3 , ND3 , ND4 and cytochrome b (CYTB), had an incomplete termination codon T or TA.…”

“…All genes use ATG as start codon, except cox1 use GTG, which also discovered in other Ancherythroculter species (Wan et al 2013;Chen et al 2016;Wang et al 2016). Most open reading frames ended with two types of complete stop codons TAA and TAG, whereas the other seven genes, ND2, COX2, ATP8, COX3, ND3, ND4 and cytochrome b (CYTB), had an incomplete termination codon T or TA.…”

“…Except for the nad6 and eight tRNA genes (tRNA-Gln, tRNA-Aln, tRNA-Asn, tRNA-Cys, tRNA-Tyr, tRNASerUCN, tRNA-Glu and tRNA-Pro) encoded on the light-strand, all others genes were encoded on the heavy-strand. This is a typical gene arrangement conforming to the other Ancherythroculter species and vertebrate consensus (Wan et al 2013;Chen et al 2016;Wang et al 2016).…”
