  1. Bioinformatics and Evolutionary GenomicsThe tree of life / HGT , origin of eukaryotes

  2. LUCA “three kingdoms”

  3. How to root the tree of life?1: Find paralogs that duplicated before the LUCA 6 found so far

  4. How to root the tree of life? 2: Make a tree of paralogs that duplicated before the LUCA Griblado 1998 J Mol Evol Griblado 1998 J Mol Evol

  5. How ta make a tree of life?Issue: Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) • As opposed to normal vertical inheritance • Inheritance from somewhere else than parents • AKA lateral gene transfer

  10. HGT: frequently observed when many genome sequences became available

  11. HGT & Tree of Life (ToL) b

  12. Transition prokaryotes to eukaryotes: big transition • The prekaryote • No more intermediates • How to look before the event horizon?

  13. Endo symbiosis of alpha proteo-bacteria gave rise to mitochondria • Mitochondrial DNA in the mitochondria • Hydrogenosomes shown to be derived from mitochondria • Many proteins active in present-day mitochondria are coded for by proteins of eukaryotic invention, archaeal descent • Many proteins of alpha-protein ancestor active in in other parts of the cell B

  14. rRNA tree Mitochondria have their own mini genome 16S Ribosomal RNA

  15. Identifying eukaryotic proteins with an alpha-proteobacterial origin based on their phylogeny A B Eukaryotic + alpha-proteobacteria in the same branch Alpha-proteobacterial proteins with the rest of the bacteria and archaea

  16. GENOMES SELECTION OF HOMOLOGS, (Smith&Waterman) LIST ALIGNMENTS AND TREE (Clustalx, Kimura+Dayhoff) PHYLOME Detecting eukaryotic genes of alpha-proteobacterial ancestry GENOME 6 alpha-proteobacteria (22 500 genes) 6 alpha-proteobacteria 9 eukaryotes 56 Bacteria+Archaea TREE SCANNING

  17. Proto-mitochondrial metabolism: - Catabolism of fatty acids, glycerol and amino acids.- Some pathways are not mitochondrial. non-mitoch.. mitochondrial not in yeast/human

  18. The majority of the proto-mitochondrial proteome is not mitochondrial (anymore) 566 Gabaldon & Huynen Science 2003 alpha-prot. Yeast mitochondrial proteome: Eric Schon, Methods Cell Biol 2001 (manually curated) 35 303 59 293 10 Huh et al., Nature 2003 (green fluorescent genomics) 527 755 Human mitochondrial proteome: Eric Schon, Methods Cell Biol 2001 113 508

  19. proteins ~65% of the alpha-proteobacteria derived set is not mitochondrial. loss re-targeting Ancestor ~16% of the mitochondrial yeast proteins are of alpha-proteobacterial origin. gain t From endosymbiont to organell, not only loss and gain of proteins but also “retargeting”: Modern mitochondria Gabaldon and Huynen, Science 2004

  20. “When” did the mitochondria invade the eukaryotes? • Genes from alpha-proteobacterial descent present in genomes in mitochondria-less organisms (cf. toni) • All eukaryotes have or had a mitochondria/alpha proteobacterial symbiont • It thus happened before the last common ancestor of all eukaryotes • But then still “when”? (b)

  21. what about all other cellular innovations that set eukaryotes apart from prokaryotes?

  22. the prekaryote-LECA transition Makarova NAR 2005

  23. Duplication more prevalent in pre-eukaryotes that in archaea or bacteria Makarova NAR 2005

  24. duplications: e.g. small GTPases

  25. Thus all these duplications & endosymbios order? • Unknown but all before eluca • According to the theory of endocytosis as a late thing for the prekaryote, after many of the eukaryotic inventions: to be tested involvement of genes of alpha-prot origin in crucial (cellular) euk processes? (nuclear import)

  26. Eukaryotic tree of life? • The divisions: • Ophistokonts (animals, fungi, microsporidia) • Amoebozoa (Dicty) • Chromalveolata Paramecium, Plasmodium but also diatoms • Archaeplastida • Excavata • Rhizaria • Historically: crown-group eukaryotes vs protists • What is a complete genome; draft genomes

  27. Animals • Most primitive: sponges • Quite a number of genome sequences (of dubious completeness)

  28. Fungi • Many complete genomes • Broad, Genolevures • Microsporidium (E. cuniculi) • Mushrooms are Basidomyctes • Together with animals: ophistokonts

  29. Amoebozoa • Few genomes • Entamoeba histolytica • Dictyostelium discoideum

  30. Archaeplastida • Second bacterial endosymbiosis event: cyanobacteria • Green algae, red algae, plants • ~5 genomes

  31. Chromalveoates • Secondary endosymbios: plastids • Very different species • (diatoms (also commonly referred to as algae), oomycetes, paramecium, alvealotes, dinoflagelates) • Quite some genomes (~10) B

  32. Excavata • Weird parasites (Giardia, Trypanosome, Leismania) • But also: Naegleria gruberi: amoeboflagelate

  33. Rhizaria • Amoeboids + amoeboflagellates • produce shells which make up the vast majority of protozoan fossils. • No genomes (yet)

  34. How are eukaryotes related ??? • Historically: crown-group eykaryotes vs protists but now molecular evidence • Two hypothesis: • In or just after excavata • Inbetween ophistokonts/amoebozoa vs the rest (unikont vs bikont), myosins • Rhizaria? • phagotrophic origin of eukaryotes: an amoebe with flagella? b
