Abstract

Junonia orithya’s complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is determined to be 14,214 bp in length, including 37 typical mitochondrial genes and an AT-rich region. Its gene order and orientation are identical to those of other butterfly species. All PCGs are initiated by typical ATN codons, except for cox1 gene which is started by CGA codon. Nine genes use complete termination codon (TAA), whereas the COX1, COX2, NADH1 and NAH4 genes end with single T. Except for trnS1(AGN), all tRNA genes display typical secondary cloverleaf structures as those of other insects. The 331 bp long AT-rich region contains several features common to the other lepidopterans, such as the ATAGA motif followed by a 18 bp poly-T stretch, two microsatellite-like (TA) 9 elements, a 5 bp poly-A stretch immediately upstream of trNAM gene from Pakistan.

摘要

据测定，Junonia orithya的完整线粒体基因组（有丝分裂基因组）长为14214 bp，包括37个典型的线粒体基因和一个富含AT的区域。其基因顺序和方向与其他蝴蝶物种相同。除由CGA密码子启动的cox1基因外，所有PCG均由典型的ATN密码子启动。九个基因使用完全终止密码子（TAA），而COX 1，COX2，NADH 1和NAH 4基因以单T结束。除trnS1（AGN）外，所有tRNA基因均显示出与其他昆虫相同的典型次生苜蓿叶结构。331 bp长的富含AT的区域包含其他鳞翅目动物共有的几个特征，例如ATAGA基序，其后是18 bp的poly-T片段，两个微卫星状（TA）9个元素，紧接着是5 bp的poly-A片段。来自巴基斯坦的trNAM基因的上游。
