Global Environmental Factors Impact the Evolution of Adult Hemoglobins in Squamata Reptiles (Lizards and Snakes) and Terrestrial Turtles.
Convergent evolution of oxygen transport mechanisms arises from respiratory proteins adapting to similar environmental pressures. We examined this relationship between adult hemoglobin subunits (Hbs: HBA1, HBAD, HBB1, and HBB2) found in land reptiles (lizards, snakes, and turtles) with their global distribution variables: Altitude, latitude, ambient temperature, and biomass production. We found that biomass was positively associated with the synonymous substitution rate (dS) of HBAD, while it showed the opposite trend for HBB2 in snakes. Additionally, latitude was negatively related to the dS of HBB2 in snakes, but nonsignificant with other Hbs. Altitude was negatively associated with ω = dN/dS of HBA1 and HBAD, whereas temperature showed a similar negative trend with the ω of HBAD across reptiles and in HBB2 of snakes. At amino acid sites, we found most were conserved except for 11 (two near the heme-binding pocket) across Hbs. These fast-changing sites shifted from polar to nonpolar residues, showing a pattern seen in high-altitude mammals. Our results highlight that in reptiles (i) Hbs are diversifying at individual amino acid sites while generally some subunits exhibiting lower ω rates at higher altitudes and hotter temperatures, with the later and higher biomass ecosystems also linked to increases in dS; (ii) HBBs are the most conserved of the Hbs; (iii) latitudinal gradients only show a significant association with the dS of HBB2 in snakes; and (iv) gene conversion events occurred across HBBs in reptiles, which confound their homology assignation, except for snakes that evidenced a single major duplication in their HBBs.

About the journal
Genome Biology and Evolution (GBE) publishes leading original research at the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. Papers considered for publication report novel evolutionary findings that concern natural genome diversity, population genomics, the structure, function, organisation and expression of genomes, comparative genomics, proteomics, and environmental genomic interactions. Major evolutionary insights from the fields of computational biology, structural biology, developmental biology, and cell biology are also considered, as are theoretical advances in the field of genome evolution. GBE’s scope embraces genome-wide evolutionary investigations at all taxonomic levels and for all forms of life — within populations or across domains. Its aims are to further the understanding of genomes in their evolutionary context and further the understanding of evolution from a genome-wide perspective.
