Both the Mitochondrial Contact Site and Cristae Organization System 26 (MICOS) and the F1FO-ATP synthase are vital for sculpting cristae by opposing membrane 27 bending forces. While MICOS promotes negative curvature at cristae junctions, dimeric F1FO- 28 ATP synthase is crucial for positive curvature at cristae rims. Crosstalk between these two 29 complexes has been observed in baker’s yeast, the model organism of the Opisthokonta 30 supergroup. Here, we report that this property is conserved in Trypanosoma brucei, a member 31 of the Discoba supergroup that separated from Opisthokonta ~2 billion years ago. 32 Specifically, one of the paralogs of the core MICOS subunit Mic10 interacts with dimeric 33 F1FO-ATP synthase, whereas the other core Mic60 subunit has a counteractive effect on F1FO- 34 ATP synthase oligomerization. This is evocative of the nature of MICOS-F1FO-ATP synthase 35 crosstalk in yeast, which is remarkable given the diversification these two complexes have 36 undergone during almost 2 eons of independent evolution. Furthermore, we identified a 37 highly diverged trypanosome homolog of subunit e, which is essential for the stability of 38 F1FO-ATP synthase dimers in yeast. Just like subunit e, it is preferentially associated with 39 dimers, interacts with Mic10 and its silencing results in severe defects to cristae and 40 disintegration of F1FO-ATP synthase dimers. Our findings indicate that crosstalk between 41 MICOS and dimeric F1FO-ATP synthase is a fundamental property impacting cristae shape 42 throughout eukaryotes. 43 44 45 46 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.04.01.438160; this version posted April 5, 2021.

Most eukaryotes are unicellular 50 protists, including etiological agents of infectious diseases like Trypanosoma brucei. Thus, 51 the study of a broad range of protists can reveal fundamental features shared by all eukaryotes 52 and lineage-specific innovations. Here we report that two different protein complexes, 53 MICOS and F1Fo-ATP synthase, known to affect mitochondrial architecture, undergo 54 crosstalk in T. brucei, just as in baker’s yeast. This is remarkable considering that these 55 complexes have otherwise undergone many changes during their almost two billion years of 56 independent evolution. Thus, this crosstalk is a fundamental property needed to maintain 57 proper mitochondrial structure even if the constituent players considerably diverged. 58 59 Introduction 60 Mitochondria are ubiquitous organelles that play a central role in cellular respiration in 61 aerobic eukaryotes alongside other essential processes, some of which are retained in 62 anaerobes (1). These organelles have a complex internal organization. While the 63 mitochondrial outer membrane is smooth, the inner membrane is markedly folded into 64 invaginations called cristae, the morphological hallmark of the organelle in facultative and 65 obligate aerobes (2, 3). Cristae are enriched with respiratory chain complexes that perform 66 oxidative phosphorylation (4, 5), and eukaryotes that cannot form these complexes lack these 67 ultrastructures (1, 6). 68 69 Mitochondrial morphology differs between species, tissues, and metabolic states. 70 Nevertheless, these variations are derived from common structural features, some of which 71 were likely inherited from endosymbiotic -proteobacterium that gave rise to the organelle (1, bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.04.01.438160; this version posted April 5, 2021.

Cristae contribute to this variety as they can assume different shapes, such as plate-like 73 lamellar cristae, which decorate yeast and animal mitochondria, and the paddle-like discoidal 74 cristae seen in discoban protists (9). These shapes are at least in part determined by protein 75 complexes embedded within the cristae membranes. 76 77 The Mitochondrial Contact Site and Cristae Organization System (MICOS) is a hetero- 78 oligomeric protein complex that is responsible for the formation and maintenance of cristae 79 junctions, narrow attachment points of cristae to the rest of the inner membrane (10, 11). 80 Cristae junctions serve as diffusion barriers into and out of cristae, as these structures cease to 81 act as autonomous bioenergetic units upon MICOS ablation (12). The two core MICOS 82 subunits Mic10 and Mic60, which are both well conserved throughout eukaryotes (13, 14), 83 have demonstrated membrane modeling activity that contributes to constriction at cristae 84 junctions (15-18). 85 86 The F1FO-ATP synthase (henceforth ‘ATP synthase’) dimers also influence cristae shape (19). 87 Dimeric ATP synthase assemble into rows or other oligomeric configurations that promote 88 positive curvature at crista rims (20, 21). In yeast and animals, both belonging to the 89 eukaryotic supergroup Opisthokonta (22), ATP synthase dimerization depends on membrane- 90 embedded FO moiety subunits e and g (23-25). Although these subunits do not directly 91 contribute to intermonomer contacts, deletion of either of them hinders dimer formation (20) 92 and subsequently results in the emergence of defective cristae (25, 26). 93 94 Crosstalk between the crista shaping factors MICOS and ATP synthase has been 95 demonstrated in yeast. A fraction of Mic10 physically interacts with ATP synthase dimers, 96 presumably via subunit e, and overexpression of Mic10 leads to stabilization of ATP synthase bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.04.01.438160; this version posted April 5, 2021.

Even more pronounced accumulation of ATP synthase oligomers was 98 observed upon deletion of the Mic60 gene, but no physical interaction has been reported 99 between Mic60 and any ATP synthase subunits (29). This interplay between MICOS and 100 ATP synthase is a remarkable and still unexplained phenomenon, as both complexes play 101 critical, yet apparently antithetical roles in shaping the inner membrane. 102 103 Here, we ask whether crosstalk between MICOS and ATP synthase dimers is a fundamental 104 property of cristae. We employed the protist Trypanosoma brucei, a model organism that is 105 part of supergroup Discoba, which diverged from Opisthokonta ~1.8 billion years ago (22, 106 30). Because of their extended independent evolution, discoban MICOS (30-32) and ATP 107 synthase (33-36) differ radically from their opisthokont counterparts. Discoban MICOS has 108 two Mic10 paralogs and an unconventional Mic60, which lacks the C-terminal mitofilin 109 domain, characteristic for other Mic60 orthologs (13-14). Furthermore, unlike opisthokont 110 MICOS, which is organized into two integral membrane sub-complexes, each assembled 111 around a single core subunit, trypanosome MICOS is composed of one integral and one 112 peripheral sub-complex. Discoban ATP synthase exhibits type IV dimer architecture, different 113 from the canonical type I dimers found in opisthokonts (20-33), and has a dissimilar FO 114 moiety, which lacks obvious homologs of subunit e or g (37). 115 116 Results 117 Depletion of trypanosome Mic60 affects oligomerization of F1FO-ATP synthase 118 independent of other MICOS proteins 119 In T. brucei, ablation of conserved MICOS components, Mic60 or both Mic10 paralogs 120 simultaneously, resulted in impaired submitochondrial morphology characterized by elongated 121 cristae adopting arc-like structures (31). Because in budding yeast, the knockout of Mic60 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.04.01.438160; this version posted April 5, 2021.

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).

Recently, rRNA gene phylogenetic analyses of two atypical parasitic fungi with amoeboid zoospores and long kinetosomes, the sanchytrids Amoeboradix gromovi and San- chytrium tribonematis, showed that they formed a monophyletic group without close affinity with known fungal clades. Here, we sequence single-cell genomes for both species to assess their phylogenetic position and evolution. Phylogenomic analyses using different protein datasets and a comprehensive taxon sampling result in an almost fully-resolved fungal tree, with Chytridiomycota as sister to all other fungi, and sanchytrids forming a well-supported, fast-evolving clade sister to Blastocladiomycota. Comparative genomic analyses across fungi and their allies (Holomycota) reveal an atypically reduced metabolic repertoire for sanchy- trids. We infer three main independent flagellum losses from the distribution of over 60 flagellum-specific proteins across Holomycota. Based on sanchytrids’ phylogenetic position and unique traits, we propose the designation of a novel phylum, Sanchytriomycota. In addition, our results indicate that most of the hyphal morphogenesis gene repertoire of multicellular fungi had already evolved in early holomycotan lineages. 1 Ecologie Systématique Evolution, CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, AgroParisTech, Orsay, France. 2 Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. ✉ Petersburg, Russia. 3 St.

  • Introns and Alternative Splicing in Choanoflagellates
    Introns and alternative splicing in choanoflagellates By Marjorie Wright Westbrook A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular and Cell Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nicole King Professor Donald C. Rio Professor G. Steven Martin Professor Steven E. Brenner Fall 2011 Introns and alternative splicing in choanoflagellates ©2011 by Marjorie Wright Westbrook Abstract Introns and alternative splicing in choanoflagellates By Marjorie Wright Westbrook Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular and Cell Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Nicole King, Chair The first organisms to evolve were unicellular, and the vast majority of life has remained so for billions of years. Complex forms of multicellularity, requiring increased levels of cell adhesion, cell signaling and gene regulation, have evolved in only a few eukaryotic lineages [1, 2]. The comparison of genomes from choanoflagellates, the closest relatives of metazoans, with genomes from metazoans may reveal genomic changes underlying metazoan origins. I used this approach to investigate the evolution of introns during the origin of metazoans. By analyzing the genome of the first choanoflagellate to be sequenced, Monosiga brevicollis, I found that its intron density rivals that of genes in intron-rich metazoans [3]. Many intron positions are conserved between choanoflagellates and metazoans, implying that their shared unicellular ancestor was also intron-rich. In my analysis of the M. brevicollis genome, I made the unexpected discovery that, unlike most choanoflagellate genes, the longest genes contain relatively few introns. Indeed, one M. brevicollis gene contains the longest stretch of intron-free coding sequence known to date.

It comprises two major clades: 1) the Metazoa and their unicellular relatives and 2) the Fungi and their unicellular relatives. There is, however, little knowledge of the role of opisthokont microbes in many natural environments, especially among non-metazoan and non-fungal opisthokonts. Here we begin to address this gap by analyzing high throughput 18S rDNA and 18S rRNA sequencing data from different European coastal sites, sampled at different size fractions and depths. In particular, we analyze the diversity and abundance of choanoflagellates, filastereans, ichthyosporeans, nucleariids, corallochytreans and their related lineages. Our results show the great diversity of choanoflagellates in coastal waters as well as a relevant role of the ichthyosporeans and the uncultured marine opisthokonts (MAOP).

Using SSU rRNA amplicon sequencing, we investigated the community structure in these environments, demonstrating a wide diversity and high relative abundance of stramenopiles and alveolates, specifically: Bacillariophyta (diatoms), labyrinthulomycetes and ciliates. The identification of abundant diatom rRNA molecules is consistent with microscopy-based studies, but demonstrates that these algae can also be exported to the sediment as active cells as opposed to dead forms.

To establish the sequence of events when animals evolved from unicellular ancestors, and understand those key evolutionary transitions, we need to establish which choanozoans are most closely related to animals and also the evolutionary position of each choanozoan group within the opisthokont phylogenetic tree. Here we focus on Ministeria vibrans, a minute bacteria-eating cell with slender radiating tentacles. Single-gene trees suggested that it is either the closest unicellular relative of animals or else sister to choanoflagellates, traditionally considered likely animal ancestors. Sequencing thousands of Ministeria protein genes now reveals about 14 with domains of key significance for animal cell biology, including several previously unknown from deeply diverging Choanozoa, e.g. domains involved in hedgehog, Notch and tyrosine kinase signaling

Whereas the evolutionary positions of the well-known opisthokonts are mostly resolved, the phylogenetic relationships among the more obscure lineages are not. Within the Unikonta (Opisthokonta and Amoebozoa), it has not Europe PMC Funders Author Manuscripts been determined whether the Apusozoa (apusomonads and ancyromonads) or the Amoebozoa form the sister group to opisthokonts, nor to which side of the hypothesized unikont/bikont divide the Apusozoa belong. Aiming at elucidating the evolutionary tree of the unikonts, we have assembled a dataset with a large sampling of both organisms and genes, including representatives from all known opisthokont lineages.
