タイトル An Inversion Polymorphism Under Balancing Selection, Involving Giant Mobile Elements, in an Invasive Fungal Pathogen.
ジャーナル Mol Biol Evol
Abstract Recombination suppression can evolve in sex or mating-type chromosomes, or in autosomal supergenes, with different haplotypes being maintained by balancing selection. In the invasive chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, a genomic region was suggested to lack recombination and to be partially physically linked to the mating-type (MAT) locus based on segregation analyses. Using hundreds of available C. parasitica genomes and generating new high-quality genome assemblies, we show that a ca. 1.2 Mb genomic region proximal to the mating-type locus lacks recombination, with the segregation of two highly differentiated haplotypes in balanced proportions in invasive populations. High-quality genome assemblies further revealed an inversion in one of the haplotypes in the invaded range. The two haplotypes were estimated to have diverged 1.5 million years ago, and each harboured specific genes, some of which likely belonging to Starships. These are large transposable elements, mobilized by tyrosine recombinases, able to move accessory genes, and involved in adaptation in multiple fungi. The MAT-proximal region carried genes upregulated under virus infection or vegetative incompatibility reaction. In the native range, the MAT-proximal region also appeared to have a different evolutionary history than the rest of the genome. In all continents, the MAT-Proximal region was enriched in nonsynonymous substitutions, in gene presence/absence polymorphism, in tyrosine recombinases and in transposable elements. This study thus sheds light on a case of a large nonrecombining region partially linked to a mating compatibility locus, likely maintained by balancing selection on differentiated haplotypes, possibly involved in adaptation in a devastating tree pathogen.
