  • Molecular Data and the Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Un
    Molecular data and the evolutionary history of dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Botany We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2003 © Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria, 2003 ABSTRACT New sequences of ribosomal and protein genes were combined with available morphological and paleontological data to produce a phylogenetic framework for dinoflagellates. The evolutionary history of some of the major morphological features of the group was then investigated in the light of that framework. Phylogenetic trees of dinoflagellates based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) are generally poorly resolved but include many well- supported clades, and while combined analyses of SSU and LSU (large subunit ribosomal RNA) improve the support for several nodes, they are still generally unsatisfactory. Protein-gene based trees lack the degree of species representation necessary for meaningful in-group phylogenetic analyses, but do provide important insights to the phylogenetic position of dinoflagellates as a whole and on the identity of their close relatives. Molecular data agree with paleontology in suggesting an early evolutionary radiation of the group, but whereas paleontological data include only taxa with fossilizable cysts, the new data examined here establish that this radiation event included all dinokaryotic lineages, including athecate forms. Plastids were lost and replaced many times in dinoflagellates, a situation entirely unique for this group. Histones could well have been lost earlier in the lineage than previously assumed.

  • Single Particle Analysis of Particulate Pollutants in Yellowstone National Park During the Winter Snowmobile Season
    SINGLE PARTICLE ANALYSIS OF PARTICULATE POLLUTANTS IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK DURING THE WINTER SNOWMOBILE SEASON. Richard E. Peterson* and Bonnie J. Tyler** * Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry **Dept. of Chemical Engineering Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717, USA [email protected] Introduction: Particulate, or aerosol, pollution is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds which includes a wide range of sizes and whose composition can vary widely depending on the time of year, geographical location, and both local and long range sources. Aerosol are important because of participation in atmospheric electricity, absorption and scattering of radiation (i.e. sunlight and thus affecting climate and visibility), their role as condensation nuclei for water vapor (and thus affecting precipitation chemistry and pH), and health effects. Particles greater than 2 micrometers in diameter (coarse) are generally formed by mechanical processes while smaller particles (fine) are formed by gas to particle conversion and accumulation/coagulation of these smallest aerosol. Because particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers (USEPA PM2.5) can become trapped deep in the lungs, it is of particular interest to identify toxic substances, such as heavy metals and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, that may be present in particles of this size range. Epidemiological studies have typically used particle size as the metric for identifying adverse health effects of particulate matter (PM), largely because data on PM size is available. Data on particle composition or other characteristics are less well known, if known at all in many cases. We are evaluating the potential for using Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) to study the composition of single particles from atmospheric aerosol.

Deep-scattering layer Further, the mesopelagic depths (200–1000 m) host an abundant prey resource known as the deep scattering Transition Zone layer that supports deep diving predators, such as northern elephant seals, beaked whales, and sperm whales. fi mesopelagic sh Female northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) undertake biannual foraging migrations to this myctophid region where they feed on mesopelagic fish and squid; however, in situ measurements of prey distribution and subsurface chlorophyll abundance, as well as the subsurface oceanographic features in the mesopelagic Transition Zone are limited. While concurrently tracking female elephant seals during their post-molt migration, we conducted a ship-based oceanographic and hydroacoustic survey and used mesopelagic mid-water trawls to sample the deep scattering layer.

  • Evidence for Glycolytic Reactions in the Mitochondrion?
    Broad Distribution of TPI-GAPDH Fusion Proteins among Eukaryotes: Evidence for Glycolytic Reactions in the Mitochondrion? Takuro Nakayama1, Ken-ichiro Ishida2, John M. Archibald1* 1 Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, Program in Integrated Microbial Biodiversity, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, 2 Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan Abstract Glycolysis is a central metabolic pathway in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotes, the textbook view is that glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. However, fusion proteins comprised of two glycolytic enzymes, triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), were found in members of the stramenopiles (diatoms and oomycetes) and shown to possess amino-terminal mitochondrial targeting signals. Here we show that mitochondrial TPI- GAPDH fusion protein genes are widely spread across the known diversity of stramenopiles, including non-photosynthetic species (Bicosoeca sp. and Blastocystis hominis). We also show that TPI-GAPDH fusion genes exist in three cercozoan taxa (Paulinella chromatophora, Thaumatomastix sp. and Mataza hastifera) and an apusozoan protist, Thecamonas trahens. Interestingly, subcellular localization predictions for other glycolytic enzymes in stramenopiles and a cercozoan show that a significant fraction of the glycolytic enzymes in these species have mitochondrial-targeted isoforms. These results suggest that part

  • Protist Phylogeny and the High-Level Classification of Protozoa
    Europ. J. Protistol. 39, 338–348 (2003) © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/ejp Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa Thomas Cavalier-Smith Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK; E-mail: [email protected] Received 1 September 2003; 29 September 2003. Accepted: 29 September 2003 Protist large-scale phylogeny is briefly reviewed and a revised higher classification of the kingdom Pro- tozoa into 11 phyla presented. Complementary gene fusions reveal a fundamental bifurcation among eu- karyotes between two major clades: the ancestrally uniciliate (often unicentriolar) unikonts and the an- cestrally biciliate bikonts, which undergo ciliary transformation by converting a younger anterior cilium into a dissimilar older posterior cilium. Unikonts comprise the ancestrally unikont protozoan phylum Amoebozoa and the opisthokonts (kingdom Animalia, phylum Choanozoa, their sisters or ancestors; and kingdom Fungi). They share a derived triple-gene fusion, absent from bikonts. Bikonts contrastingly share a derived gene fusion between dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase and include plants and all other protists, comprising the protozoan infrakingdoms Rhizaria [phyla Cercozoa and Re- taria (Radiozoa, Foraminifera)] and Excavata (phyla Loukozoa, Metamonada, Euglenozoa, Percolozoa), plus the kingdom Plantae [Viridaeplantae, Rhodophyta (sisters); Glaucophyta], the chromalveolate clade, and the protozoan phylum Apusozoa (Thecomonadea, Diphylleida). Chromalveolates comprise kingdom Chromista (Cryptista, Heterokonta, Haptophyta) and the protozoan infrakingdom Alveolata [phyla Cilio- phora and Miozoa (= Protalveolata, Dinozoa, Apicomplexa)], which diverged from a common ancestor that enslaved a red alga and evolved novel plastid protein-targeting machinery via the host rough ER and the enslaved algal plasma membrane (periplastid membrane).

  • Plasmodiophora Brassicae
    Bi et al. Phytopathology Research (2019) 1:12 https://doi.org/10.1186/s42483-019-0018-6 Phytopathology Research RESEARCH Open Access Comparative genomics reveals the unique evolutionary status of Plasmodiophora brassicae and the essential role of GPCR signaling pathways Kai Bi1,2, Tao Chen2, Zhangchao He1,2, Zhixiao Gao1,2, Ying Zhao1,2, Huiquan Liu3, Yanping Fu2, Jiatao Xie1,2, Jiasen Cheng1,2 and Daohong Jiang1,2* Abstract Plasmodiophora brassicae is an important biotrophic eukaryotic plant pathogen and a member of the rhizarian protists. This biotrophic pathogen causes clubroot in cruciferous plants via novel intracellular mechanisms that are markedly different from those of other biotrophic organisms. To date, genomes from six single spore isolates of P. brassicae have been sequenced. An accurate description of the evolutionary status of this biotrophic protist, however, remains lacking. Here, we determined the draft genome of the P. brassicae ZJ-1 strain. A total of 10,951 protein-coding genes were identified from a 24.1 Mb genome sequence. We applied a comparative genomics approach to prove the Rhizaria supergroup is an independent branch in the eukaryotic evolutionary tree. We also found that the GPCR signaling pathway, the versatile signal transduction to multiple intracellular signaling cascades in response to extracellular signals in eukaryotes, is significantly enriched in P. brassicae-expanded and P. brassicae-specific gene sets. Additionally, treatment with a GPCR inhibitor relieved the symptoms of clubroot and significantly suppressed the development of plasmodia. Our findings suggest that GPCR signal transduction pathways play important roles in the growth, development, and pathogenicity of P. brassicae.
