Simple and complex nuclear loci created by newly transferred chloroplast DNA in tobacco.

Abstract:

:Transfer of organelle DNA into the nuclear genome has been significant in eukaryotic evolution, because it appears to be the origin of many nuclear genes. Most studies on organelle DNA transfer have been restricted to evolutionary events but experimental systems recently became available to monitor the process in real time. We designed an experimental screen to detect plastid DNA (ptDNA) transfers to the nucleus in whole plants grown under natural conditions. The resultant genotypes facilitated investigation of the evolutionary mechanisms underlying ptDNA transfer and nuclear integration. Here we report the characterization of nuclear loci formed by integration of newly transferred ptDNA. Large, often multiple, fragments of ptDNA between 6.0 and 22.3 kb in size are incorporated into chromosomes at single Mendelian loci. The lack of chloroplast transcripts of comparable size to the ptDNA integrants suggests that DNA molecules are directly involved in the transfer process. Microhomology (2-5 bp) and rearrangements of ptDNA and nuclear DNA were frequently found near integration sites, suggesting that nonhomologous recombination plays a major role in integration. The mechanisms of ptDNA integration appear similar to those of biolistic transformation of plant cells, but no sequence preference was identified near junctions. This article provides substantial molecular analysis of real-time ptDNA transfer and integration that has resulted from natural processes with no involvement of cell injury, infection, and tissue culture. We highlight the impact of cytoplasmic organellar genome mobility on nuclear genome evolution.
