Life and Death of Selfish Genes: Comparative Genomics Reveals the Dynamic Evolution of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility

Julien Martinez et al.

Summary: Cytoplasmic incompatibility is a selfish manipulation of reproduction induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia in arthropods. The genes cifA and cifB, strongly associated with cytoplasmic incompatibility, are found in many Wolbachia genome sequences with up to seven copies in each genome. These genes undergo gain, loss, and recombination processes, supporting evolutionary models of cytoplasmic incompatibility.

Living in the endosymbiotic world of Wolbachia: A centennial review

Rupinder Kaur et al.

Summary: Wolbachia, as the most widespread intracellular bacteria in the animal kingdom, serves as a biological archetype for studying symbiosis and its applications in combating human and agricultural diseases. Through a comprehensive analysis, Wolbachia's host range, diversity, genomics, cell biology, applications, and the mobilome including phage WO have been synthesized, highlighting its essentiality to reproductive phenotypes in arthropods. The interdisciplinary science of Wolbachia symbiosis also serves as a model for teaching integrative rules of endosymbiotic life.

Stable high-density and maternally inherited Wolbachia infections in Anopheles moucheti and Anopheles demeilloni mosquitoes

Thomas Walker et al.

Summary: Wolbachia infections with high-density have been found in geographically diverse populations of Anopheles species, indicating potential for reducing malaria transmission. These strains possess homologs of cytoplasmic incompatibility factor (cif) genes, suggesting they have the capacity to spread through host populations. Further investigation should be conducted to explore their potential as candidates for Wolbachia biocontrol strategies targeting Anopheles mosquitoes.

Comparative Genomics Reveals Factors Associated with Phenotypic Expression of Wolbachia

Guilherme Costa Baiao et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comparative analysis of nine complete Wolbachia genomes with known CI properties, revealing genetic differences and the impact of phages and mobile elements on genome and phenotype evolution. Known and novel genes associated with CI were identified, and the study discussed how these genes influence the reproductive manipulation of CI.

Isolation and characterization of a novel bacteriophage WO from Allonemobius socius crickets in Missouri

Jonah Kupritz et al.

Summary: This study provides the first detailed description and genomic characterization of phage WO from North America in a widely distributed cricket species. The phage WO isolated from southern ground crickets showed high prevalence rates and genomic sequences similar to other phage WO strains found in different arthropod species. Transmission electron microscopy examination of cricket ovaries revealed a high density of phage particles within Wolbachia cells.

The impacts of cytoplasmic incompatibility factor (cifA and cifB) genetic variation on phenotypes

J. Dylan Shropshire et al.

Summary: Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria transmitted maternally and often spread selfishly through arthropod populations via cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). The study found that cognate cifA;B from D. melanogaster and two other Drosophila-associated Wolbachia strains caused CI, while non-cognate cifA generally contributed to strong transgenic CI and interchangeable rescue, with cifB genetic divergence leading to weak or no transgenic CI. Additionally, a type 1 cifA was able to rescue CI caused by a genetically divergent type 2 cifA;B, suggesting unidirectional incompatibility.
