It has been suggested that productive viral infection requires a balance in the level of functional activity of HA and NA, arising from their closely interacting roles in the viral life cycle, and that this functional balance could be mediated by genetic changes in the HA and NA. Here, we investigate how the selective pressure varies for H7 avian influenza HA on different NA subtype backgrounds. Results: By extending Bayesian stochastic mutational mapping methods to calculate the ratio of the rate of non-synonymous change to the rate of synonymous change (d N/d S), we found the average d N/d S across the avian influenza H7 HA1 region to be significantly greater on an N2 NA subtype background than on an N1, N3 or N7 background. Observed differences in evolutionary rates of H7 HA on different NA subtype backgrounds could not be attributed to underlying differences between avian host species or virus pathogenicity. Examination of d N/d S values for each subtype on a site-by-site basis indicated that the elevated d N/d S on the N2 NA background was a result of increased selection, rather than a relaxation of selective constraint. Conclusions: Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that reassortment exposes influenza HA to significant changes in selective pressure through genetic interactions with NA. Such epistatic effects might be explicitly accounted for in future models of influenza evolution.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","author":[{"first_name":"Melissa","last_name":"Ward","full_name":"Ward, Melissa"},{"last_name":"Lycett","full_name":"Lycett, Samantha","first_name":"Samantha"},{"first_name":"Dorita","full_name":"Avila, Dorita","last_name":"Avila"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-4624-4612","full_name":"Bollback, Jonathan P","last_name":"Bollback","id":"2C6FA9CC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Jonathan P"},{"first_name":"Andrew","full_name":"Leigh Brown, Andrew","last_name":"Leigh Brown"}],"publist_id":"7320","title":"Evolutionary interactions between haemagglutinin and neuraminidase in avian influenza","citation":{"chicago":"Ward, Melissa, Samantha Lycett, Dorita Avila, Jonathan P Bollback, and Andrew Leigh Brown. “Evolutionary Interactions between Haemagglutinin and Neuraminidase in Avian Influenza.” BMC Evolutionary Biology.

Mutations in any of these genes can result in chronic granulomatous disease, a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent infections. Using evolutionary mapping, we determined that episodes of adaptive natural selection have shaped the extracellular portion of gp91-phox during the evolution of mammals, which suggests that this region may have a function in host-pathogen interactions. On the basis of a resequencing analysis of approximately 35 kb of CYBB, CYBA, NCF2, and NCF4 in 102 ethnically diverse individuals (24 of African ancestry, 31 of European ancestry, 24 of Asian/Oceanians, and 23 US Hispanics), we show that the pattern of CYBA diversity is compatible with balancing natural selection, perhaps mediated by catalase-positive pathogens. NCF2 in Asian populations shows a pattern of diversity characterized by a differentiated haplotype structure. Our study provides insight into the role of pathogen-driven natural selection in an innate immune pathway and sheds light on the role of CYBA in endothelial, nonphagocytic NADPH oxidases, which are relevant in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and other complex diseases.","lang":"eng"}],"pmid":1,"oa_version":"Submitted Version","volume":30,"issue":"9","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"pmid":["23821607"]},"publist_id":"7310","author":[{"full_name":"Tarazona Santos, Eduardo","last_name":"Tarazona Santos","first_name":"Eduardo"},{"full_name":"Machado, Moara","last_name":"Machado","first_name":"Moara"},{"first_name":"Wagner","last_name":"Magalhães","full_name":"Magalhães, Wagner"},{"first_name":"Renee","last_name":"Chen","full_name":"Chen, Renee"},{"first_name":"Fernanda","last_name":"Lyon","full_name":"Lyon, Fernanda"},{"first_name":"Laurie","full_name":"Burdett, Laurie","last_name":"Burdett"},{"full_name":"Crenshaw, Andrew","last_name":"Crenshaw","first_name":"Andrew"},{"first_name":"Cristina","last_name":"Fabbri","full_name":"Fabbri, Cristina"},{"full_name":"Pereira, Latife","last_name":"Pereira","first_name":"Latife"},{"first_name":"Laelia","last_name":"Pinto","full_name":"Pinto, Laelia"},{"id":"409D5C96-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Rodrigo A","last_name":"Fernandes Redondo","orcid":"0000-0002-5837-2793","full_name":"Fernandes Redondo, Rodrigo A"},{"first_name":"Ben","full_name":"Sestanovich, Ben","last_name":"Sestanovich"},{"first_name":"Meredith","full_name":"Yeager, Meredith","last_name":"Yeager"},{"full_name":"Chanock, Stephen","last_name":"Chanock","first_name":"Stephen"}],"title":"Evolutionary dynamics of the human NADPH oxidase genes CYBB, CYBA, NCF2, and NCF4: Functional implications","citation":{"chicago":"Tarazona Santos, Eduardo, Moara Machado, Wagner Magalhães, Renee Chen, Fernanda Lyon, Laurie Burdett, Andrew Crenshaw, et al. “Evolutionary Dynamics of the Human NADPH Oxidase Genes CYBB, CYBA, NCF2, and NCF4: Functional Implications.” Molecular Biology and Evolution.

Only when their phylogenetic relationships are stably resolved, can individual results from fungal research be integrated into a holistic picture of biology. However, and despite recent progress, many deep relationships within the fungi remain unclear. Here, we present the first phylogenomic study of an entire eukaryotic kingdom that uses a consistency criterion to strengthen phylogenetic conclusions. We reason that branches (splits) recovered with independent data and different tree reconstruction methods are likely to reflect true evolutionary relationships. Two complementary phylogenomic data sets based on 99 fungal genomes and 109 fungal expressed sequence tag (EST) sets analyzed with four different tree reconstruction methods shed light from different angles on the fungal tree of life. Eleven additional data sets address specifically the phylogenetic position of Blastocladiomycota, Ustilaginomycotina, and Dothideomycetes, respectively. The combined evidence from the resulting trees supports the deep-level stability of the fungal groups toward a comprehensive natural system of the fungi. In addition, our analysis reveals methodologically interesting aspects. Enrichment for EST encoded data-a common practice in phylogenomic analyses-introduces a strong bias toward slowly evolving and functionally correlated genes. Consequently, the generalization of phylogenomic data sets as collections of randomly selected genes cannot be taken for granted. A thorough characterization of the data to assess possible influences on the tree reconstruction should therefore become a standard in phylogenomic analyses."}]},{"department":[{"_id":"JoBo"}],"title":"Social facilitation of male song by male and female conspecifics in the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata","author":[{"first_name":"Fabienne","id":"4C8C26A4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Jesse","full_name":"Jesse, Fabienne"},{"last_name":"Riebel","full_name":"Riebel, Katharina","first_name":"Katharina"}],"publist_id":"3756","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","citation":{"chicago":"Jesse, Fabienne, and Katharina Riebel. “Social Facilitation of Male Song by Male and Female Conspecifics in the Zebra Finch, Taeniopygia Guttata.” Behavioural Processes.

Their song has been well described, but its possible function(s) in social communication are only partly understood. The so-called ‘directed song’ is a high-intensity, high-performance song given during courtship in close proximity to the female, which is known to mediate mate choice and mating. However, this singing mode constitutes only a fraction of zebra finch males’ prolific song output. Potential communicative functions of their second, ‘undirected’ singing mode remain unresolved in the face of contradicting reports of both facilitating and inhibiting effects of social company on singing. We addressed this issue by experimentally manipulating social contexts in a within-subject design, comparing a solo versus male or female only company condition, each lasting for 24 hours. Males’ total song output was significantly higher when a conspecific was in audible and visible distance than when they were alone. Male and female company had an equally facilitating effect on song output. Our findings thus indicate that singing motivation is facilitated rather than inhibited by social company, suggesting that singing in zebra finches might function both in inter- and intrasexual communication.
