全基因组复制后基因进化的数学模型

A mathematical model for gene evolution after whole genome duplication

Yoji Nakamura

摘要:

全基因组复制(WGD)是生物分子进化中最重要的事件之一。在鱼类中,WGD被认为发生在硬骨鱼类的祖先谱系中。最近全面的直向同源物比较硬骨鱼基因组中WGD产生的冗余基因的命运提供了有用的数据和见解。在此基础上,提出了一个数学模型来解释WGD后基因的进化过程。考虑到i)重复基因中任一个的快速损失和ii)重复基因中每一个的适度功能分化之间的平衡,对模型进行参数化,这两者之后是纯化选择下的缓慢基因损失。该模型预测,在硬骨鱼谱系中,在WGD后的9000万年期间,最多约3000个基因对可能在功能上发生了分化。因此,本研究提供了一种可能性,即在研究基因组结构变化或功能分化的细节之前,可以根据模型参数定量评估WGD的整体影响。如果平衡模型不仅适用于硬骨鱼,而且适用于其他经历过WGD的谱系,则可以在这些谱系中测试和比较评估指标与进化上重要事件(例如物种多样化或新表型的发生)之间的相关性。

英文摘要:

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is one of the most important events in the molecular evolution of organisms. In fish species, a WGD is considered to have occurred in the ancestral lineage of teleosts. Recent comprehensive ortholog comparisons among teleost genomes have provided useful data and insights into the fate of redundant genes generated by WGD. Based on these data, a mathematical model is proposed to explain the evolutionary scenario of genes after WGD. The model is parameterized taking into account an equilibrium between i) rapid loss of either of the duplicate genes and ii) moderate functional differentiation of each of duplicate genes, both of which are followed by slow gene loss under purifying selection. This model predicts that, in the teleost lineage, a maximum of about 3000 gene pairs may have differentiated functionally during 90 million years after WGD. Thus, the present study provides a possibility that the whole impact of WGD can be quantitatively assessed according to the model parameters, before details of genomic structural changes or functional differentiation are investigated. If the equilibrium model is valid not only for teleosts but also for other lineages that have undergone WGDs, correlations between the assessment indices and evolutionarily significant events, such as the diversification of species or the occurrence of novel phenotypes, could be tested and compared among those lineages.
