Weak Linkage Regulation - Types of Regulation Enhancer - upstream activation sequence. Binding site for transcription factor. Mutation here is cis-regulation (within the operational "cistron") Each type modulates activity about 50% of the time... Evo - Devo I. Background II. Core Processes III. Weak Linkage Regulation - NOVELTY Mutations may make an enhancer available to a different transcription factor... and now that gene is 'on' in a new tissue and can be used for a new function. Crystallins in eye lens are homologous to heat-shock proteins; but when they are expressed in the eye, they are used in a completely different process. Evo - Devo I. Background II. Core Processes III. Weak Linkage Regulation - NOVELTY OR, an entirely new binding site can evolve - they are typically quite short (6-10 bases) so they will arise frequently by random mutation...selection can then favor new regulatory pathways.... KEEP THE OLD, but GAIN NEW (sound familiar???) - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. a–c, The wing spots on male flies of the Drosophila genus. Drosophila tristis (a) and D. elegans (b) have wing spots that have arisen during convergent evolution. Drosophila gunungcola (c) instead evolved from a spotted ancestor. d, Males wave their wings to display the spots during elaborate courtship dances. (Photographs courtesy of B. Prud'homme and S. Carroll.) - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. yellow gene enzyme for pigment production "spotted wing" In their previous research, they found that spotted members of both spotted clades had same cis regulatory element (CRE). So, they hypothesized that all members of the clade were descended from a spotted ancestor (99% chance ancestor was spotted - fig.) - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. yellow gene LOSS of the spot within this clade (an example of convergent evolution AND reversion) occurred by different mutations in same CRE. - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. yellow gene LOSS of the spot within this clade (an example of convergent evolution AND reversion) occurred by different mutations in same CRE. Importantly, yellow is still on elsewhere. This is a pleiotropic gene that has many effects. - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. yellow gene LOSS of the spot within this clade (an example of convergent evolution AND reversion) occurred by different mutations in same CRE. Importantly, yellow is still on elsewhere. This is a pleiotropic gene that has many effects. Shutting it "off" by a mutation in the gene would cripple it's activity throughout the organism. Here, through cis regulation, it's expression is modulated in only one tissue (wing). - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. yellow gene spotted wing In D. tristis, the yellow gene is enhanced by a completely different, independently evolved CRE. - Prud'homme et al. 2006. Repeated morphological evolution through cisregulatory changes in a pleiotropic gene Nature 440:1050-1053. Two gains and two losses are due to independent changes in the regulation of the yellow gene. The developmental 'scaffold' for forming spots exists... subsequent evolution of enhancement can form a new anatomical trait, which can be rapidly selected for by sexual selection. Evo - Devo I.

Example - Darwin's Finches - two genes interact in a co-ordinated way to determine beak dimensions (Abzhanov et al. 2006. Nature 442:563-567). Used a virus to insert an up regulator of CaM into the beak of growing chick embryos. This is a kinase that increases absorption of CaM. Caused beak elongation. VII. Example - Darwin's Finches - so, if you remember, allometry like this is a common source of adaptive variation that may often be involved in adaptive radiations. - This variation is in the developmental timing of action of the same structural genes.
