| Popis: | The mitochondrion is an organelle found in eukaryote organisms, and it is vital for different cellular pathways. The mitochondrion has its own DNA molecule and, because its genetic content is relatively conserved, despite the variation of size and structure, mitogenome sequences have been widely used as a promising molecular biomarker for taxonomy and evolution in fungi. In this study, the mitogenomes of two fungal species of Agaricomycetes class, Phellinotus piptadeniae and Trametes villosa, were assembled and annotated for the first time. We used these newly sequenced mitogenomes for comparative analyses with other 55 mitogenomes of Agaricomycetes available in public databases. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) size and content are highly variable and non-coding and intronic regions, homing endonucleases (HEGs), and unidentified ORFs (uORFs) significantly contribute to the total size of the mitogenome. Furthermore, accessory genes (most of them as HEGs) are shared between distantly related species, most likely as a consequence of horizontal gene transfer events. Conversely, uORFs are only shared between taxonomically related species, most probably as a result of vertical evolutionary inheritance. Additionally, codon usage varies among mitogenomes and the GC content of mitochondrial features may be used to distinguish coding from non-coding sequences. Our results also indicated that transposition events of mitochondrial genes to the nuclear genome are not common. Despite the variation of size and content of the mitogenomes, mitochondrial genes seemed to be reliable molecular markers in our time-divergence analysis, even though the nucleotide substitution rates of mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of fungi are quite different. We also showed that many events of mitochondrial gene shuffling probably happened amongst the Agaricomycetes during evolution, which created differences in the gene order among species, even those of the same genus. Altogether, our study revealed new information regarding evolutionary dynamics in Agaricomycetes. |
