Molecular Evolution and Nucleotide Sequences of the Maize Plastid Genes for the Cy Subunit of CFI (Atpa)And the Proteolipid Subunit of Cfo (Atph)
Copyright 0 1987 by the Genetics Society of America Molecular Evolution and Nucleotide Sequences of the Maize Plastid Genes for the cy Subunit of CFI (atpA)and the Proteolipid Subunit of CFo (atpH) Steven R. Rodermel and Lawrence Bogorad The Biological Laboratories, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 021 38 Manuscript received December 8, 1986 Accepted February 16, 1987 ABSTRACT The nucleotide sequences of the maize plastid genes for the a subunit of CFI (atpA) and the proteolipid subunit of CFo (atpH)are presented. The evolution of these genes among higher plants is characterized by a transition mutation bias of about 2:l and by rates of synonymous and nonsynony- mous substitution which are much lower than similar rates for genes from other sources. This is consistent with the notion that the plastid genome is evolving conservatively in primary sequence. Yet, the mode and tempo of sequence evolution of these and other plastidencoded coupling factor genes are not the same. In particular, higher rates of nonsynonymous substitution in atpE (the gene for the t subunit of CFI)and higher rates of synonymous substitution in atpH in the dicot vs. monocot lineages of higher plants indicate that these sequences are likely subject to different evolutionary constraints in these two lineages. The 5‘- and 3‘- transcribed flanking regions of atpA and atpH from maize, wheat and tobacco are conserved in size, but contain few putative regulatory elements which are conserved either in their spatial arrangement or sequence complexity. However, these regions likely contain variable numbers of “species-specific”regulatory elements. The present studies thus suggest that the plastid genome is not a passive participant in an evolutionary process governed by a more rapidly changing, readily adaptive, nuclear compartment, but that novel strategies for the coordinate expression of genes in the plastid genome may arise through rapid evolution of the flanking sequences of these genes. -

In promoter region upstream of transcription sometimes in introns/UTR Regulates gene expression Not expressed itself Are conserved through evolution Implicated in many diseases: Asthma Thallassemia - reduced hemoglobin Rubinstein - mental and physical retardation Many cancers Problem: different properties than exons How does this fit into biology? G. Orphnides and D. Reinberg (2002) A Unified Theory of Gene Expression. Cell 108: 439-451. How does this fit into biology? http://kachkeis.com/img/essay3_pic1.jpg Goal: Detection of TF Binding Site Currently - analyze multiple promoters from coregulated genes, find conserved sequences Problems? Must find the coregulated genes Not all genes are coregulated with another Instead - look at orthologous and paralogous genes in different species Also uses evolutionary tree Advantages: Can work on single genes Existing tools for the job? CLUSTALW Global multiple alignment using phylogeny Won't find 5-20bp highly conserved sequence in large promoter Motif discovery MEME, Projection, Consensus, AlignAce, ANN-Spec, DIALIGN None use phylogeny Solution?

Received: 24 April 2018; Accepted: 07 July 2018; Published: 08 August 2018 Abstract—The perfect alignment between three or more global alignment algorithm built-in dynamic sequences of Protein, RNA or DNA is a very difficult programming technique [1]. This algorithm maximizes task in bioinformatics. There are many techniques for the number of amino acid matches and minimizes the alignment multiple sequences. Many techniques number of required gaps to finds globally optimal maximize speed and do not concern with the accuracy of alignment. Local alignments are more useful for aligning the resulting alignment. Likewise, many techniques sub-regions of the sequences, whereas local alignment maximize accuracy and do not concern with the speed. maximizes sub-regions similarity alignment. One of the Reducing memory and execution time requirements and most known of Local alignment is Smith-Waterman increasing the accuracy of multiple sequence alignment algorithm [2]. on large-scale datasets are the vital goal of any technique.

Chapter 6: Multiple Sequence Alignment Learning Objectives
Chapter 6: Multiple Sequence Alignment Learning objectives • Explain the three main stages by which ClustalW performs multiple sequence alignment (MSA); • Describe several alternative programs for MSA (such as MUSCLE, ProbCons, and TCoffee); • Explain how they work, and contrast them with ClustalW; • Explain the significance of performing benchmarking studies and describe several of their basic conclusions for MSA; • Explain the issues surrounding MSA of genomic regions Outline: multiple sequence alignment (MSA) Introduction; definition of MSA; typical uses Five main approaches to multiple sequence alignment Exact approaches Progressive sequence alignment Iterative approaches Consistency-based approaches Structure-based methods Benchmarking studies: approaches, findings, challenges Databases of Multiple Sequence Alignments Pfam: Protein Family Database of Profile HMMs SMART Conserved Domain Database Integrated multiple sequence alignment resources MSA database curation: manual versus automated Multiple sequence alignments of genomic regions UCSC, Galaxy, Ensembl, alignathon Perspective Multiple sequence alignment: definition • a collection of three or more protein (or nucleic acid) sequences that are partially or completely aligned • homologous residues are aligned in columns across the length of the sequences • residues are homologous in an evolutionary sense • residues are homologous in a structural sense Example: 5 alignments of 5 globins Let’s look at a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of five globins proteins. We’ll use five prominent MSA programs: ClustalW, Praline, MUSCLE (used at HomoloGene), ProbCons, and TCoffee. Each program offers unique strengths. We’ll focus on a histidine (H) residue that has a critical role in binding oxygen in globins, and should be aligned. But often it’s not aligned, and all five programs give different answers. -

Phylogenetic Analysis of Protein Sequence UNIT 19.11 Data Using the Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood (RAXML) Program Antonis Rokas1 1Department of Biological Sciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee ABSTRACT Phylogenetic analysis is the study of evolutionary relationships among molecules, phenotypes, and organisms. In the context of protein sequence data, phylogenetic analysis is one of the cornerstones of comparative sequence analysis and has many applications in the study of protein evolution and function. This unit provides a brief review of the principles of phylogenetic analysis and describes several different standard phylogenetic analyses of protein sequence data using the RAXML (Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood) Program.

Alignment of Next-Generation Sequencing Data
Gene Expression Analyses Alignment of Next‐Generation Sequencing Data Nadia Lanman HPC for Life Sciences 2019 What is sequence alignment? • A way of arranging sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity • Similarity may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between sequences • In the case of NextGen sequencing, alignment identifies where fragments which were sequenced are derived from (e.g. which gene or transcript) • Two types of alignment: local and global http://www‐personal.umich.edu/~lpt/fgf/fgfrseq.htm Global vs Local Alignment • Global aligners try to align all provided sequence end to end • Local aligners try to find regions of similarity within each provided sequence (match your query with a substring of your subject/target) gap mismatch Alignment Example Raw sequences: A G A T G and G A T TG 2 matches, 0 4 matches, 1 4 matches, 1 3 matches, 2 gaps insertion insertion end gaps A G A T G A G A ‐ T G .
