Adaptability and Evolution of Gobiidae: A Genetic Exploration

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Animals living in different environments must overcome different environmental pressures. Previous studies have explored this phenomenon for other aquatic organisms, including Fundulus genus, intertidal spiders, and intertidal chitons. Gobiidae is a group of bony fishes that is secon...

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Animals living in different environments must overcome different environmental pressures. Previous studies have explored this phenomenon for other aquatic organisms, including Fundulus genus, intertidal spiders, and intertidal chitons. Gobiidae is a group of bony fishes that is second most diverse group of vertebrates globally, and one of the most diverse families of fish. These fish occupy different environments, including marine, brackish, and freshwater habitats. One key reason for the successful colonization of different habitats by this group is their ability to adapt to different energy demands. Energy requirement is related to the ability of mitochondria in cells to generate energy via a process called oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). This study explored the genetic mechanisms underlying the adaptability of Gobiidae to different environments and energy requirements and, hence, their evolution. ABSTRACT: The Gobiidae family occupy one of the most diverse habitat ranges of all fishes. One key reason for their successful colonization of different habitats is their ability to adapt to different energy demands. This energy requirement is related to the ability of mitochondria in cells to generate energy via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Here, we assembled three complete mitochondrial genomes of Rhinogobius shennongensis, Rhinogobius wuyanlingensis, and Chaenogobius annularis. These mitogenomes are circular and include 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one non-coding control region (CR). We used comparative mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome and selection pressure analyses to explore the structure and evolutionary rates of Gobiidae mitogenomics in different environments. The CmC model showed that the ω ratios of all mtDNA PCGs were <1, and that the evolutionary rate of adenosine triphosphate 8 (atp8) was faster in Gobiidae than in other mitochondrial DNA PCGs. We also found evidence of positive selection for several sites of NADH dehydrogenase (nd) 6 and atp8 genes. Thus, divergent mechanisms appear to underlie the evolution of mtDNA PCGs, which might explain the ability of Gobiidae to adapt to diverse environments. Our study provides new insights on the adaptive evolution of Gobiidae mtDNA genome and molecular mechanisms of OXPHOS.
