Complete mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA sequences of the freshwater green microalga Medakamo hakoo
We report the complete organellar genome sequences of an ultrasmall green alga, Medakamo hakoo strain M-hakoo 311, which has the smallest known nuclear genome in freshwater green algae. Medakamo hakoo has 90.8-kb chloroplast and 36.5-kb mitochondrial genomes containing 80 and 33 putative protein-coding genes, respectively. The mitochondrial genome is the smallest in the Trebouxiophyceae algae studied so far. The GC content of the nuclear genome is 73%, but those of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes are 41% and 35%, respectively. Codon usages in the organellar genomes have a different tendency from that in the nuclear g...

Evolution of the nervous system by acquisition of retrovirus-derived genes in mammals
Genes Genet Syst. 2024 Feb 10;98(6):321-336. doi: 10.1266/ggs.23-00197. Epub 2024 Jan 13.ABSTRACTIn the course of evolution, the most highly developed organ is likely the brain, which has become more complex over time and acquired diverse forms and functions in different species. In particular, mammals have developed complex and high-functioning brains, and it has been reported that several genes derived from retroviruses were involved in mammalian brain evolution, that is, generating the complexity of the nervous system. Especially, the sushi-ichi-related retrotransposon homolog (SIRH)/retrotransposon gag-like (RTL) genes...

Retrotransposon-derived transcripts and their functions in immunity and disease
Genes Genet Syst. 2024 Feb 10;98(6):305-319. doi: 10.1266/ggs.23-00187. Epub 2024 Jan 10.ABSTRACTRetrotransposons, which account for approximately 42% of the human genome, have been increasingly recognized as "non-self" pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) due to their virus-like sequences. In abnormal conditions such as cancer and viral infections, retrotransposons that are aberrantly expressed due to impaired epigenetic suppression display PAMPs, leading to their recognition by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system and triggering inflammation. This viral mimicry mechanism has been obs...

Mouse retrotransposons: sequence structure, evolutionary age, genomic distribution and function
Genes Genet Syst. 2024 Feb 10;98(6):337-351. doi: 10.1266/ggs.23-00221. Epub 2023 Nov 22.ABSTRACTRetrotransposons are transposable elements that are transposed via transcription and reverse transcription. Their copies have accumulated in the genome of mammals, occupying approximately 40% of mammalian genomic mass. These copies are often involved in numerous phenomena, such as chromatin spatial organization, gene expression, development and disease, and have been recognized as a driving force in evolution. Different organisms have gained specific retrotransposon subfamilies and retrotransposed copies, such as hundreds of Mu...
