Female Heterogamety

Abstract Birds are characterized by female heterogamety; females carry the Z and W sex chromosomes, while males have two copies of the Z chromosome. We suggest here that full differentiation of the Z and W sex chromosomes of birds did not take place until after the split of major contemporary lineages, in the late Cretaceous. The ATP synthase α-subunit gene is now present in one copy each on the nonrecombining part of the W chromosome (ATP5A1W) and on the Z chromosome (ATP5A1Z). This gene seems to have evolved on several independent occasions, in different lineages, from a state of free recombination into two sex-specific and nonrecombining variants. ATP5A1W and ATP5A1Z are thus more similar within orders, relative to what W (or Z) are between orders. Moreover, this cessation of recombination apparently took place at different times in different lineages (estimated at 13, 40, and 65 million years ago in Ciconiiformes, Galliformes, and Anseriformes, respectively). We argue that these observations are the result of recent and traceable steps in the process where sex chromosomes gradually cease to recombine and become differentiated. Our data demonstrate that this process, once initiated, may occur independently in parallel in sister lineages.

Heterotrimeric G proteins are important molecules for regulating plant architecture and transmitting external signals to intracellular target proteins in higher plants and mammals. The rice genome contains one canonical α subunit gene (RGA1), four extra-large GTP-binding protein genes (XLGs), one canonical β subunit gene (RGB1), and five γ subunit genes (tentatively named RGG1, RGG2, RGG3/GS3/Mi/OsGGC1, RGG4/DEP1/DN1/OsGGC3, and RGG5/OsGGC2). RGG1 encodes the canonical γ subunit; RGG2 encodes the plant-specific type of γ subunit with additional amino acid residues at the N-terminus; and the remaining three γ subunit genes encode the atypical γ subunits with cysteine abundance at the C-terminus. We aimed to identify the RGG3/GS3/Mi/OsGGC1 gene product, Gγ3, in rice tissues using the anti-Gγ3 domain antibody. We also analyzed the truncated protein, Gγ3∆Cys, in the RGG3/GS3/Mi/OsGGC1 mutant, Mi, using the anti-Gγ3 domain antibody. Based on nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, the immunoprecipitated Gγ3 candidates were confirmed to be Gγ3. Similar to α (Gα) and β subunits (Gβ), Gγ3 was enriched in the plasma membrane fraction, and accumulated in the flower tissues. As RGG3/GS3/Mi/OsGGC1 mutants show the characteristic phenotype in flowers and consequently in seeds, the tissues that accumulated Gγ3 corresponded to the abnormal tissues observed in RGG3/GS3/Mi/OsGGC1 mutants.
