This study found that the hsd17b1 gene in Oyster pompano has evolved as an MSD gene in the Carangidae family, and a SNP on chromosome 24 is closely associated with phenotypic sex, indicating that hsd17b1 may be a female-determining gene. Different splicing patterns were observed in different genotypes.
Teleosts show varied master sex determining (MSD) genes and sex determination (SD) mechanisms, with frequent turnovers of sex chromosomes. Tracing the origins of MSD genes and turnovers of sex chromosomes in a taxonomic group is of particular interest in evolutionary biology. Oyster pompano (Trachinotus anak), a marine fish, belongs to the family Carangidae, in which 17b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (hsd17b1) has repeatedly evolved to an MSD gene. Whole-genome resequencing identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at chromosome 24 to be strictly associated with phenotypic sex, with females being the heterozygous sex. This SNP is located in a splicing site at the first exon/intron boundary of hsd17b1. The Z-linked SNP results in malfunction of all spliced isoforms, whereas the W-linked isoforms were predicted to have open reading frames that are conserved among vertebrates, suggesting that hsd17b1 is a female-determining gene. The differential alternative splicing patterns of ZZ and ZW genotypes were consistently observed both in undifferentiated stages and differentiated gonads. We observed elevated recombination around the SD locus and no differentiation between Z and W chromosomes. The extreme diversity of mutational mechanisms that hsd17b1 evolves to an MSD gene highlights frequent in situ turnovers between sex chromosomes in the Carangidae.
