Identification of two independent X-autosome translocations in closely related mammalian (Proechimys) species
2019
Overview
Multiple sex chromosome systems have been described for several mammalian orders, with different species from the same genus sharing the same system (e.g., X

X

Y or XY
1
Y
2
). This is important because the translocated autosome may be influenced by the evolution of the recipient sex chromosome, and this may be related to speciation. It is often thought that the translocation of an autosome to a sex chromosome may share a common origin among phylogenetically related species. However, the neo-X chromosomes of
Proechimys goeldii
(2n = 24♀, 25♂/NFa = 42) and
Proechimys
gr.
goeldii
(2n = 16♀, 17♂/NFa = 14) have distinct sizes and morphologies that have made it difficult to determine whether they have the same or different origins. This study investigates the origins of the XY

sex chromosome determination system in
P. goeldii
(PGO) and
P
. gr.
goeldii
(PGG) and elucidates the chromosomal rearrangements in this low-diploid-number group of
Proechimys
species. Toward this end, we produced whole-chromosome probes for
P. roberti
(PRO; 2n = 30♂/NFa = 54) and
P
.
goeldii
(2n = 25♂/NFa = 42) and used them in comparative chromosomal mapping. Our analysis reveals that multiple translocations and inversions are responsible for the karyotype diversity of these species, with only three whole-chromosomes conserved between PRO and PGO and eight between PGO and PGG. Our data indicate that multiple sex chromosome systems have originated twice in
Proechimys
. As small populations are prone to the fixation of chromosomal rearrangements, we speculate that biological features of Rodentia contribute to this fixation. We also highlight the potential of these rodents as a model for studying sex chromosome evolution.
