Abstract

Viroids are plant subviral pathogens whose genomes are constituted by a single-stranded and covalently closed small RNA molecule that does not encode for any protein. Most of the 29 described viroid species fold into a rodlike or quasi-rodlike structure, whereas a few of them fold as highly branched structures. In a previous study, we used RNA thermodynamic secondary structure prediction algorithms to compare the mutational robustness of all viroid species. Here we used the same approach to explore the sign and strength of epistasis among pairs of random mutations. We found that antagonistic interactions were more abundant than synergistic ones. However, despite their lower frequency, synergistic interactions tended to be more intense. Mutational robustness and the intensity of epistasis were correlated such that viroid species with large average mutational effects showed stronger antagonistic epistasis, whereas viroids with mild average mutational effects showed weaker antagonistic interactions. The strength of antagonistic epistasis decreased with genome complexity as a consequence of the gained robustness of duplicated genomes. In good agreement with our previous finding of an evolutionary trend toward increased robustness, we now found a trend toward reduced antagonistic epistasis.

摘要

类病毒是植物亚病毒病原体,其基因组由不编码任何蛋白质的单链且共价闭合的小RNA分子构成。已描述的29种类病毒物种中的大多数折叠成棒状或准棒状结构,而其中少数折叠成高度分支的结构。在先前的一项研究中,我们使用RNA热力学二级结构预测算法来比较所有类病毒物种的突变稳健性。在此,我们使用相同的方法来探究随机突变对之间上位性的符号和强度。我们发现拮抗相互作用比协同相互作用更为丰富。然而,尽管协同相互作用的频率较低,但它们往往更为强烈。突变稳健性与上位性强度相关,以至于平均突变效应大的类病毒物种表现出更强的拮抗上位性,而平均突变效应温和的类病毒表现出较弱的拮抗相互作用。由于重复基因组获得的稳健性,拮抗上位性的强度随着基因组复杂性的增加而降低。与我们先前发现的朝着增加稳健性的进化趋势高度一致,我们现在发现了朝着降低拮抗上位性的趋势。
