Origins of recently gained introns in Caenorhabditis Avril Coghlan and Kenneth H. Wolfe Department of Genetics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Rate of intron gain and loss Over the long term, losses and gains occurred at high rates in eukaryotes Over the short term, losses are more frequent than gains

Recent intron gains mosquito TPI gene fly XDH gene midge globin genes plant catalase gene worm chemoreceptor genes

Intron gain in nematodes 4400 C. elegans- and 2200 C. briggsae- specific introns gains/losses per gene per My in nematodes

Mechanism of intron gain ? Insertion of a transposon (Crick 1979) ? Reverse-splicing of a pre-existing intron (Sharp 1985) reverse- splicing mRNA cDNA genome splicing translation

Mechanism of intron gain ? Tandem duplication of an exon fragment containing AGGT (Rogers 1989) AGGT AGGT

Method

Exon splice site consensus 81 41

Germline expression 63% of C. elegans genes that gained introns are expressed in the germline, compared to 42% of control genes (P = 0.001)  it is unlikely that introns originate by partial exon duplication

Mechanism of intron gain Tandem duplication of an exon fragment containing AGGT ? Reverse-splicing of a pre-existing intron ? Insertion of a transposon

Repeat elements in introns

Homology outside repeats

Several genes with novel introns code for proteins involved in splicing/surveillance: smg-2 homolog of yeast Dbp2 homolog of yeast Cdc40 homologs of yeast Hsh155, Prp6, Prp19 homologs of yeast Imd2 and Ssa1 homolog of yeast Dis3 homolog of human CPSF5 Functions of genes that gained introns

? autoregulatory loops ? incorporation in the spliceosome of a protein still joined to its mRNA Reverse-splicing in genes involved in splicing

Conclusions some gains are due to reverse-splicing introns gained by reverse-splicing are copies of introns from the same gene reverse-splicing is especially frequent in genes involved in splicing
