Accelerated evolution of the electron transport chain in anthropoid primates
Abstract
Mitochondria are both the power plant of the cell and a central integrator of signals that govern the lifespan, replication and death of the cell. Perhaps as a consequence, genes that encode components of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) are generally conserved. Therefore, it is surprising that many of these genes in anthropoid primates (New World monkeys, Old World monkeys and apes, including humans) have been major targets of darwinian positive selection. Sequence comparisons have provided evidence that marked increases of non-synonymous substitution rates occurred in anthropoid ETC genes that encode subunits of Complex III and IV, and the electron carrier molecule cytochrome c (CYC). Two important questions are: (i) how has evolution altered ETC function? and; (ii) how might functional changes in the ETC be linked to evolution of an expanded neocortical brain?

“Furthermore, evidence for positive selection in the human lineage for genes that encode components of the mitochondrial electron-transport chain suggests that there has been evolutionary pressure for high rates of aerobic energy consumption in metabolically active cells, such as neurons (6).”

“Second, the process of mitochondrial electron transport shows accelerated evolution of multiple subunits of complex III, complex IV, and cytochrome c (6, 38), suggesting that the engine of energy generation has been a prominent target of Darwinian positive selection in anthropoid primates.”

“Indeed, considerable evidence indicates that the biochemical mechanism of generating energy has been under evolutionary selection going back at least to the anthropoid primate stem, presumably to fuel increases in brain size.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
