BACKGROUND Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and generates genetically diverse haploid gametes from a diploid germ cell. Reduction of ploidy depends on active chromosome movements during early meiotic prophase I. Chromosome movements require telomere attachment to the nuclear envelope. This attachment is mediated by telomere adaptor proteins. Telomere adaptor proteins have to date been identified in fission yeast and mice. In the mouse, they form a complex composed of the meiotic proteins TERB1, TERB2, and MAJIN. No sequence similarity was observed between these three mouse proteins and the adaptor proteins of fission yeast, raising the question of the evolutionary history and significance of this specific protein complex. RESULT Here, we show the TERB1, TERB2, and MAJIN proteins are found throughout the Metazoa and even in early-branching non-bilateral phyla such as Cnidaria, Placozoa and Porifera. Metazoan TERB1, TERB2, and MAJIN showed comparable domain architecture across all clades. Furthermore, the protein domains involved in the formation of the complex as well as those involved for the interaction with the telomere shelterin protein and the LINC complexes revealed high sequence similarity. Finally, gene expression in the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris provided evidence that the TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN complex is selectively expressed in the germ line. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN complex has an ancient origin in metazoans, suggesting conservation of meiotic functions.

小鼠减数分裂端粒的TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合物可追溯到后生动物的共同祖先。

背景技术减数分裂对于有性生殖是必不可少的,并从二倍体生殖细胞产生遗传多样的单倍体配子。倍性的减少取决于减数分裂前期I早期的活跃染色体运动。染色体运动需要端粒附着在核膜上。这种附着是由端粒衔接子蛋白介导的。迄今为止,在裂变酵母和小鼠中已经鉴定出端粒衔接子蛋白。在小鼠中,它们形成由减数分裂蛋白TERB1,TERB2和MAJIN组成的复合物。在这三种小鼠蛋白质与裂变酵母的衔接子蛋白质之间未观察到序列相似性,这提出了这种特定蛋白质复合物的进化历史和意义的问题。结果在这里,我们显示了TERB1,TERB2,在整个后生动物中,甚至在分支早期的非双侧门(如Cnidaria,Placozoa和Porifera)中都发现了MAJIN和MAJIN蛋白。后生动物TERB1,TERB2和MAJIN在所有进化枝上都显示出可比的域结构。此外,参与复合物形成的蛋白质结构域以及涉及与端粒庇护素蛋白和LINC复合物相互作用的蛋白质结构域显示出高度的序列相似性。最后,在刺Hy中的基因表达提供了证据,表明TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体在种系中选择性表达。结论我们的结果表明,TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体起源于后生动物,表明减数分裂功能的保守性。MAJIN在所有进化枝上都显示出可比的领域架构。此外,参与复合物形成的蛋白质结构域以及涉及与端粒庇护素蛋白和LINC复合物相互作用的蛋白质结构域显示出高度的序列相似性。最后,在刺Hy中的基因表达提供了证据,表明TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体在种系中选择性表达。结论我们的结果表明,TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体起源于后生动物,表明减数分裂功能的保守性。MAJIN在所有进化枝上都显示出可比的领域架构。此外,参与复合物形成的蛋白质结构域以及涉及与端粒庇护素蛋白和LINC复合物相互作用的蛋白质结构域显示出高度的序列相似性。最后,在刺Hy中的基因表达提供了证据,表明TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体在种系中选择性表达。结论我们的结果表明,TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体起源于后生动物,表明减数分裂功能的保守性。刺Hy蛇的基因表达提供了证据,表明TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体在种系中选择性表达。结论我们的结果表明,TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体起源于后生动物,表明减数分裂功能的保守性。寻常刺Hy蛇中的基因表达提供了TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体在种系中选择性表达的证据。结论我们的结果表明,TERB1-TERB2-MAJIN复合体起源于后生动物,表明减数分裂功能的保守性。
