Transcription factor evolution in eukaryotes and the assembly of the regulatory toolkit in multicellular lineages

Abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) are the main players in transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes. However, it remains unclear what role TFs played in the origin of all of the different eukaryotic multicellular lineages. In this paper, we explore how the origin of TF repertoires shaped eukaryotic evolution and, in particular, their role into the emergence of multicellular lineages. We traced the origin and expansion of all known TFs through the eukaryotic tree of life, using the broadest possible taxon sampling and… Show more

“…Moreover, analysis of evolutionary conservation showed that 85% of the identified TFs are metazoan innovations (Wallberg et al, 2004), with candidates for cnidarian or Nematostella novelties represented in all structural classes, but enriched for C2H2 zinc fingers (p<<0.0001, chi-square). These results emphasize the relevance of metazoan TF innovations in animal cell type function, and in particular of the metazoan-expanded homeobox TF class (de Mendoza et al, 2013).not peer-reviewed) is the author/funder.

“…Additionally, we predicted for each protein the Pfam domain composition using Pfamscan (Punta et al, 2012) with default curated gathering threshold. Nematostella TFs were identified using univocal Pfam domains for each structural TF family (de Mendoza et al, 2013). In the case of multi-TF families (Homeobox, Fox, bHLH, bZIP, DM, Smad, Myb, NR, RFX, RHD, SRF, Ets, T-box and Sox), we used phylogenetic analyses for each family in order to classify them into specific subfamilies (together with the complete TF sets of additional 10 animal species, including Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster for reference annotation).…”

“…choanoflagellates) and Embryophyta (e.g. charophytes) have indeed reported that many GRN components predate the origins of the crown groups (Fairclough et al, 2013;Hori et al, 2014;King et al, 2008;de Mendoza et al, 2013;Wickett et al, 2014;Worden et al, 2009). These findings encourage inquiry into the roles of pan-eukaryotic GRN modules in the differentiation repertoires of the unicellular eukaryotes that share common ancestry with crown group organisms.…”

“…in Degnan et al, 2009;Larroux et al, 2008b;Richards, 2010), many others have an older origin and are found in unicellular and colonial holozoans, or in all eukaryotes (e.g. in Best et al, 2004;de Mendoza et al, 2013;GamboaMelendez et al, 2013;King, 2004;Sebe-Pedros et al, 2011). The sequencing of the Capsaspora owczarzaki genome (Suga et al, 2013) revealed an extensive repertoire of TF domains in this filasterian, including bHLH, bZIP, HMG box, MADS-box, Homeobox, Forkhead, CP2, p53, STAT DNA binding and Churchill, T-box, Runt, and the Rel homology domains (Sebe-Pedros et al, 2011).…”
