ABSTRACT
Three nuclear loci, coding for Ankyrin~, C ollagen 1, and Aldehyde dehydrogenase,
were examined in four sucker species from Klamath and Rogue river basins.
Frequencies of genotypes and alleles differed markedly between pre- adult and adult
suckers for the Ankyrik locus but were usually similar for the other two loci. All adult
Klamath Basin suckers greater than 163 mm FL ( n= 242), had only two Ankyrim
genotypes, AA and AB, with no BB genotypes. However, all three Ankyrik genotypes
were found in larvae ( n = 325) and juveniles up to 71 mm SL ( n = 71). When selection
was simulated by removing the BB genotype from younger life stages, larva and juvenile
AnkyrinG allelic frequencies resembled adult frequencies.
Four populations representing two of the species, Klamath largescale and
shortnose suckers, were examined in greater detail. Genotypic frequencies were in Hardy-
Weinberg equilibrium for Collagen 1 and Aldehyde dehydrogenase in all four populations
but not for Ankyrik in three of four populations. Similarly, differences in allelic frequencies
between life stages were not significantly different in seven of eight comparisons with
Collagen 1 and Aldehyde dehydrogenase while they were significantly different in three of
four Ankyrin~ co mparisons. When young Ankyrim BB homozygotes were removed from
the analysis, Collagen 1 and Aldehyde dehydrogenase allelic frequencies changed by less
than 4% but Ankyrin~ a llelic frequencies changed 8- 26% and II o f 12 life stage
comparisons were not significantly different. The simulation suggested a stable allelic
frequency across generations and the distribution of genotypes suggested a heterozygous
advantage perhaps caused by lethality of the homozygous BB genotype in pre- adults. The
Ankyrino BB genotype may therefore represent a previously unsuspected source of
significant early life history mortality.
INTRODUCTION
The Klamath Basin contains four endemic species of suckers representing three
genera. Two are generally considered lacustrine ( Scoppettone and Vinyard, 1991) and
are federally listed endangered species ( U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1988), Deltistes
luxatus, Lost River sucker ( LRS), and Chasmistes brevirostris, shortnose sucker ( SNS).
Two are generally considered riverine and are not federally protected species,
Catostomus snyderi, Klamath largescale sucker ( KLS), and C. rimiculus, Klamath
smallscale sucker ( KSS). The distribution of the lacustrine species and C. snyderi is
centered on Upper Klamath Lake and Lost River subbasins with some expatriated
individuals showing up in downstream reservoirs. The distribution of C. rimiculus is
disjunct in the lower Klamath R. below Keno, OR and in the adjacent Rogue R.
Biologists have consistently had difficult identifying species of Klamath suckers and
Miller and Smith ( 1981) contend that hybridization has occurred making identification
more arduous. Consequently, the federal recovery plan ( U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
1993) for the lacustrine species includes the need to characterize and conserve genetic
diversity of populations of all four Klamath Basin suckers. The initial goals of this
molecular survey were to isolate and characterize species markers, identify hybrids, and
investigate population structure. We surveyed 28 ( 1 0,373 base pairs ( bp)) low copy
number anonymous nuclear loci in the four Klamath Basin species and in selected
species outside Klamath Basin. Only four polymorphic loci were found and none showed
fixed species markers for Klamath Basin suckers ( Wagman and Markle 2000) although
the Ankyrin~ locus appeared useful for catostomid phylogeny. In the following, we show
that Ankyrik has genotypic and allelic patterns suggesting a heterozygous advantage
possibly acting through a lethal homozygous genotype in pre- adults.
Catostomid genetics and the three proteins
Catostomids are allotetraploids ( Uyeno and Smith, 1972; Tsoi, et al., 1989),
presumably from an ancestral, tetraploid hybridization event in China ( Tsoi et al., 1989)
approximately 50 mya. ( Uyeno and Smith, 1972). Allotetraploids possess two complete
diploid genomes that segregate independently resulting in disomic inheritance ( Dawson,
1962 and Ronfort et al., 1998). The ancestral condition for any catostomid locus is
tetraploid and disomic. Potentially derived states are diploidization and tetraploid
tetrasomic inheritance. Tetrasomic inheritance produces multivalent or quadivalent meiotic
structures and are common in autotetraploids such as salmonids ( Allendorf and
Thorgaard, 1984), but are unknown in catostomids. Uyeno and Smith ( 1972) report no
multivalents in meiotic chromosome spreads in Erimyzon and Tsoi et al. ( 1 989) did not
see them in Myxocyrinus. Ferris and Whitt ( 1978) report a large number of heterozygous
loci and ratios of isozyme activities consistent with allotetraploids. Each of the loci
described below had two alleles and consequently, we assume the three loci have
become diploidized and segregate independently.
AnkyrinG is a member of the ankyrin multiple gene family of proteins. These genes
exhibit tissue specificity, sequence divergence ( Bennett, 1992) and are characterized by
their 33- amino acid motif, the ANK repeat. They are peripheral membrane proteins that
interconnect integral proteins with the spectrin rich membrane skeleton. The gene family
currently consists of three genes Ankyrin~ A, nkyrinRa nd A n k y r i ~( a lso known as Ankyrin
3, the short form of the molecule). AnkyrinR is associated with erythrocyte membrane
skeleton and is localized in post- mitotic neurons of the brain ( Lambert and Bennett, 1993).
AnkyrinB has two splice variants of 220kDa and 440 kDa ( Kunimoto, et al., 1991) and both
are associated with unmyelinated and premyelinated axons ( Chan et al, 1993). Ankyrik,
is large, 480 kDa, ( hence, " G" for giant) and has a splice variant of 270 kDa. Both
molecules associate with the voltage- dependent sodium channel at the nodes of Ranvier,
the axonal initial segments and the neuromuscular junction ( Kordeli et al., 1995). AnkyrinG
has 5 major domains ( Figure 1). From the amino terminal, the molecule is composed of a
membrane binding domain, a short spacer region connected to a spectrin binding domain,
a serine rich region that connects to a variable length extended tail region that ends at the
carboxyl terminal. Construction of size variants is suspected to be by splicing different
regions from the extended tail region ( Kordeli et al., 1995).
The Ankyrin~ c lone contained a 60 bp open reading frame ( ORF), containing a 20
amino acid translated sequence that was 88% identical ( 18120) to human Ankyrik
( Kordeli, et al., 1995) with an overall similarity of 99% ( Table 3). The clone sequence
exhibited a higher identity score ( 94% and 93%) to that of the 270- kDa rat AnkyrinG
isoform and mouse Ankyrik. Their region of identity is one amino acid shorter than the
human Ankyri* long form ( 480 kDa). This region ( 480- 533) corresponds to the 4081-
4098 nucleic acid region of the human Ankyrin~ se quence in the extended tail region,
upstream of the carboxyl end of the protein ( Figure I). This region is spliced out of the
smaller 270- kDa size variant ( Kordeli et al., 1995). The two Klamath Basin alleles, A and
B, differed by a single base pair transversion of cytosine to adenine at nucleotide position
357 of the clone ( Table 1).
Collagen 1 had 59% identity ( 73% overall homology, 20127 aa) to Collagen 1 gene
from Ephydatia muelleri ( Wagman and Markle 2000). We detected two alleles caused by
a 10- bp deletion between positions 260- 270 ( Wagman and Markle 2000). Aldehyde
dehydrogenase had 45% identity ( 69% overall homology, 26137 aa) to a tumor associated
aldehyde dehydrogenase from Ratus nomegicus. We detected two alleles caused by a 4-
bp deletion between positions 303- 307 ( Wagman and Markle 2000).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Adult Klamath and Rogue suckers used for this study are listed in Wagman and
Markle ( 2000, Appendix 1). The adult sampling targeted spawning groups. Attempts were
made to collect 30 individuals from each spawning site and collections included many
different age groups. In one case, non- spawning fish were sampled that could represent
multiple spawning groups ( Eagle Ridge adults from Upper Klamath Lake). These fish
have been grouped with Upper Klamath Lake samples. Larval suckers were collected
with a dip net or drift nets from April to June, 1996 and 1997 from 14 sites approximating
known spawning sites ( Appendix 1). Larvae were preserved in 70% ethanol or frozen in
I- m l ultrapure water placed on dry ice and could not be identified to species. Juvenile
suckers were collected with castnets in a stratified random sampling regime from Upper
Klamath Lake ( Simon et al., 2000) during September and October of 1997 ( Appendix 1).
Juvenile suckers were identified using gillrake and vertebral counts. Catalogued adult
specimens are referenced by museum catalog number ( 0s = Oregon State University
Fish Collection) or tissue archive number (#). Juvenile and larval specimens are
referenced by field site number.
DNA extraction, library construction, clone isolation, sequencing, PCR
amplification, PAGE ( polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and SSCP ( single strand
conformational polymorphism) procedures are described in Wagman and Markle ( 2000).
AnkyrinG ( Figure 3), Collagen 1, and Aldehyde dehydrogenase loci had no more
than two alleles in a specimen, each had only two alleles in Klamath Basin, and each
produced three genotypes ( Table 2). Denaturing PAGE profiles for the size variant alleles
( Collagen 1 and Aldehyde dehydrogenase) produced three distinct genotypes without
staining variation among the alleles. SSCP profiles for Ankyrim ( Figure 3) exhibited two
single- stranded bands for each allele. Bands stained differently according to their overall
charge with the slow band of the A allele ( higher in the gel) and the fast band of the B
allele ( lowest in the gel) staining less intensely than their complements. Scoring of
AnkyrinG genotypes was based on the fast band of the A allele and the slow band of the B
allele.
Standard population genetic statistics were generated from the data using the web-based
Genepop ( version 3.0). We tested for Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium ( HWE) using a
Hardy- Weinberg exact probability test ( web- based Genepop, version 3.0) which employs
a Markov chain reiteration of a 1000 re- sampling of the data to determine the probability
that chance alone could produce a deviation between the observed and expected values
at least as great as the deviation actually realized. If the probability is large then chance
alone could account for the deviation ( Hartl and Clarke, 1997). Statgraphics ( version 3.0)
also performed comparisons between loci and species.
RESULTS
An kvrin- G
Allele A was present in all adult suckers tested ( Wagman and Markle, 2000) and
was the original AnkyrinG clone. Allele B was only found in Klamath and Rogue drainages
and was found in all four Klamath species ( appendix 2a, and Wagman and Markle, 2000).
The BB homozygote genotype was absent in all 242 adults sampled ( Tables 3, Figure 2),
but present in 32% of larvae ( 1041325) and 50% of juveniles ( Table 3, Figure 2). The
largest identified BB homozygote was a 71 mm ( TL) SNS from Rose Andersen Dam on
the Lost River and the smallest adult was 163- mm fork length ( FL) KLS from Sycan River
( 0s 15898- D, tissue # I 23). Samples in the 60- 1 60 mm size class were generally
unavailable for analysis, only two samples are in this range. We tested for sex related
differences in adults and found no significant difference between allele frequencies and
sex ( ANOVA; p = 0.178 for A and p = 0.201 for B).
Basin wide frequencies of larval AA homozygotes were identical to pooled adult
frequencies ( 10%) but frequencies of heterozygotes were less ( 58% versus 90%) while
frequencies of BB homozygotes were much greater BB ( 32% versus 0%, Table 3, Figure
2). Removal of the BB genotype from the larval data set brings the pooled larval
heterozygote frequency ( 0.85) in line with the pooled adult frequency ( 0.90) ( Table 3).
Allele frequencies were significantly different between larvae and adults ( ANOVA; p =
0.00001 for the A allele). After the removal of the larval BB genotypes, frequencies for the
A allele between these life stages were no longer significant ( ANOVA; p = 0.2048 between
adults and larvae). Removal of larval BB genotypes from other sub- areas produced similar
results ( appendix 2A). SNS juvenile suckers from Upper Klamath Lake also had BB
homozygotes. The A allele frequencies between juveniles and adults were significantly
different ( ANOVA; p = 0.00001). Again, removal of the BB genotypes brought genotypic
and allelic frequencies of juveniles in line with pooled SNS adults ( Table 3). The frequency
of allele A was no longer significantly different ( ANOVA; p = 0.1 057).
Collagen 1
Basin wide genotypic frequencies were similar between larvae and adults of
Klamath Basin suckers with a preponderance of AA homozygotes in adults ( 0.74) and
larvae ( 0.69) ( Table 3). Allelic frequencies were also nearly identical ( Table 3, ANOVA; p =
0.5603 based on a comparison of the A allele frequency). After removal of the BB
genotypes for Ankyrinc, allelic frequencies remained not significantly different ( ANOVA; p=
0.2486). Allele A frequencies were significantly different between SNS juveniles from
Upper Klamath Lake and adults ( ANOVA; p = 0.0219) but are similar after removal of
Ankyrin~ B B genotypes ( Table 3; ANOVA; p = 0.3499 for the A allele frequency
comparison between juveniles and adults).
Aldehvde dehvdronenase
Genotypic frequencies were identical between larvae and adults of Klamath Basin
suckers with a preponderance of AA homozygotes in both ( 0.57) ( Table 3). Allelic
frequencies were also identical ( Table 3; ANOVA; p = 0.6370 for the A allele). After
removal of the BB genotypes for Ankyrinc, allelic frequencies remained not significantly
different ( ANOVA; p= 0.9205). SNS juveniles from Upper Klamath Lake are similar to adult
SNS before removal of BB genotypes ( ANOVA; p = 0.331 6 for the A allele) and after
removal of the AnkyrinG BB genotypes ( Table 3; ANOVA; p = 0.3872 for the A allele).
Population- level analvses
Because population phenomena can not be analyzed across species we restricted
the data set to four single- species analyses: KLS, upper Williamson River at Rocky Ford;
KLS, Sycan River; KLS, Gerber Reservoir/ Barnes Valley Creek; and SNS, Upper Klamath
Lake. The first three data sets were adult- larval comparisons and the fourth was an adult-juvenile
comparison.
A Hardy- Weinberg exact probability test of genotypic frequencies from different life
stages showed that different life stage populations for Collagen 1 and Aldehyde
dehydrogenase had a high probability of being in HWE ( Table 2). In contrast, AnkyrinG
genotypes were not in HWE except in the Sycan River and the coefficients were highly
significant ( Table 2). Comparisons of allelic frequencies between life stages indicated that
Collagen 1 and Aldehyde dehydrogenase were not significantly different in seven of eight
comparisons ( Table 5). The exception was Collagen 1 in SNS from Klamath Lake where
the adult population was fixed for the AA genotype. Allelic frequencies were significantly
different between life stages for AnkyrinG except for Gerber Reservoir KLS ( Table 5).
When data were reanalyzed after removal of individuals that were AnkyrinG BB
homozygotes, results were more uniform across loci ( Table 6). Aldehyde dehydrogenase
allelic frequencies either did not change or changed by 1 % and there were still no
significant differences between life stages. Collagen 1 allelic frequencies changed 2- 4%
and there were still no significant differences between life stages except for juvenile SNS
from Upper Klamath Lake ( Table 6). AnkyrinG allelic frequencies changed 8- 26% in larvae
and juveniles ( Table 6) and changed all comparisons with adults to not significantly
different.
DISCUSSION
Two of the three loci examined, Collagen 1 and Aldehyde dehydrogenase, were
generally similar in genotype and allelic frequencies between young and older life history
stages ( Table 3). However, all four species of adult suckers were missing the BB
genotype of Ankyrin~ w hile larvae had 32% and juveniles 50% BB genotypes ( Table 3).
importance of the A allele was found in outgroups where we have found at least one copy
of the A allele in all suckers examined to date ( Wagman and Markle, 2000).
The AnkyrinG system in Klamath Basin suckers may be similar to the heterozygous
advantage seen in the thalassemic disease, human sickle cell anemia ( Livingstone, 1960,
1989). Populations with a heterozygous advantage will not be in HWE even when one
allele is lethal in the homozygote state because stabilizing selection maintains
overdominant alleles, as seen in the sickle cell example ( Hartl and Clark, 1997). Without
stabilizing selection the lethal allele is quickly reduced from the gene pool. Heterozygote
advantages appear in many groups ( Pinus ponderosa; Farris and Mitton, 1984; Bufo
boreas; Samollow and Soule, 1992; HLA class II type infection of Hepatitis B, Thursz,
1997; Pleuronectes platessa, Beardmore and Ward, 1977; Pigeons; Frelinger, 1972';
Dendragapus obscurus; Redfield 1974; Colias sp., Watt, 1977; Crasssostrea virginica;
Singh and Zouros, 1978 and Zouros et al, 1980).
AnkyrinG is part of a multi- genic family exhibiting multiple splice variants ( Kordeli et
al., 1995). The polymorphism in Klamath Basin suckers ( allele B) is in the extended tail
region of the molecule ( Figure I), the region modified in splice variants. The transversion
found in allele B is in a sequence that could be involved in a splicing donor site ( Lewin,
1983) or be linked to a downstream ( 3') mutation within the open reading frame ( Table 1).
The AnkyrinG molecule is localized in nervous tissue and is associated with a voltage-dependent
sodium channel at the nodes of Ranvier ( Kordeli et al., 1995). Sodium is
exchanged for NH4' and H+ at the gills ( Moyle and Cech, 1988) and environmental
changes in ammonia and pH could be related to the function of the AnkyrinG alleles.
Upper Klamath Lake experiences high, potentially lethal, levels of un- ionized
ammonia and pH during summer ( Kann and Smith, 1999). The juvenile SNS used in this
study were collected in 1997 after very high un- ionized ammonia levels had been reached
and at least one Ankyri* BB juvenile had over- wintered ( the largest, 71 mm, caught at
Rose Andersen Dam on the Lost River, April, 1997). Water quality conditions are a logical
link to the dynamics of Ankyrin~ in Klamath Basin suckers. Conditions responsible for the
selection against the BB genotype and selection for the AB genotype may differ but the
conditions may be unique to the Rogue and Klamath basins since the B allele has not
been found outside the basins ( Wagman and Markle, 2000).
Understanding the stabilizing selection for the Ankyrik B allele may be important in
conservation and recovery of endangered suckers because it represents a previously
unsuspected source of significant early life history mortality. The success or failure of a
fish year class is usually attributed to factors such as starvation, predation, or dispersion
to unfavorable habitats in the first year of life ( Houde, 1987, 1989, Bailey and Houde,
1989, Sinclair, 1988). The endangered lacustrine suckers are long lived (> 30 y) and
highly fecund ( up to 57,000 eggslyr. in female SNS and 235,000 eggslyr. in LRS)
( Scoppettone and Vinyard, 1991), so year class failure is to be expected. However, we
know of no case where early life history mortality in a fish has been attributed to a
naturally occurring lethal homozygous genotype. Current efforts to monitor year class
strength are based on juvenile sampling in early fall when fish are 60- 120 mm FL. Thus,
the timing of mortality of the BB genotype has an important bearing on interpretation of
year class monitoring efforts.
