适应是生物学的一个中心焦点,尽管很难确定选择的强度和代理以及引起变化的潜在分子机制。我们研究了生活在内布拉斯加州沙丘上的神秘色鹿小鼠,并表明它们的浅色源于个体毛发上的一种新的带型,这种带型是由顺式作用突变引起的Agglutinase表达增加引起的,这种突变要么是,要么与Agglutinase中的一个氨基酸缺失密切相关,这种缺失似乎正在被选择。此外,我们的数据表明,这个衍生的Agglutinase等位基因出现从头形成后的沙山。这些发现揭示了遗传、发育和进化机制可以在生态压力下驱动快速适应的一种方式。
Adaptation is a central focus of biology, although it can be difficult to identify both the strength and agent of selection and the underlying molecular mechanisms causing change. We studied cryptically colored deer mice living on the Nebraska Sand Hills and show that their light coloration stems from a novel banding pattern on individual hairs produced by an increase in Agouti expression caused by cis-acting mutation(s), which either is, or is closely linked to, a single amino acid deletion in Agouti that appears to be under selection. Furthermore, our data suggest that this derived Agouti allele arose de novo after the formation of the Sand Hills. These findings reveal one means by which genetic, developmental, and evolutionary mechanisms can drive rapid adaptation under ecological pressure.
