The complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced and annotated, and its general features and base composition were analyzed. The mitogenome was 15,896 bp long, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transport RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The phylogenetic relationships based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 17 metagenomes from families Chironomidae, Ceratopogonidae, and Simuliidae were reconstructed. According to the phylogenetic topologies, was closely related to ( + ) in the maximum likelihood tree.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the deep-sea methanotrophic sponges and : leveraging 'waste' in metagenomic data.

J Genet

Programa de Pos-graduacao em Ciencias Biologicas (Genetica), Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

A significant proportion of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data ends up not being used since they comprise information out-of-scope of the primary studies. This 'waste' of potential can be harnessed to explore organellar genomes, such as the mitochondrial DNA, and be used for evolutionary, conservation and biodiversity research. We present the complete mitochondrial genomes of the deep-sea methanotrophic sponges and (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida) retrieved from previously published whole metagenome sequencing data.

Article Synopsis
  • Impaired calcium (Ca) handling in heart cells is a key feature of heart failure (HF), leading to issues like weakened heart contractions and irregular heartbeats.
  • The study used transgenic mice with a mutation affecting a calcium regulator (phospholamban) to understand how defects in calcium cycling contribute to HF, noting that these mice experience severe and fast-progressing heart failure.
  • Early treatment aimed at correcting calcium cycling using Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) was found to delay heart cell damage and improve overall health of the mice, indicating that addressing Ca dynamics early on could be crucial for preventing further complications in heart failure.

Triplophysa bombifrons, a species of bony fish localized in China, has largely been understudied genetically, with limited data available beyond its mitochondrial genome. This study introduces a chromosome-level genome assembly for T. bombifrons, achieved through the integration of PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C chromatin interaction mapping.

Article Synopsis
  • Fleas significantly affect human and animal health worldwide, prompting a study on the complete mitochondrial genomes of two species: Paradoxopsyllus custodis and Stenischia montanis yunlongensis.
  • The genomes measured 15,375 bp and 15,651 bp, containing 37 genes, with an observable preference for AT nucleotide combinations and unique coding features, including incomplete stop codons.
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicated a paraphyletic relationship within the Leptopsyllidae family, providing insights into the mitochondrial genome and beneficial genetic markers for identifying and classifying fleas in the Siphonaptera order.

Maintenance of protein homeostasis is necessary for cell viability and depends on a complex network of chaperones and co-chaperones, including the heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) system. In human mitochondria, mitochondrial Hsp70 (mortalin) and the nucleotide exchange factor (GrpEL1) work synergistically to stabilize proteins, assemble protein complexes, and facilitate protein import. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms guiding these processes is hampered by limited structural information.
