Ancestral introns: SGSH

This example illustrates the concept that -- while most human introns are very ancient (very highly conserved, established prior to the emergence of multicellual organisms) -- exceptions exist that confirm that processes creating new introns continue to be operative. It also illustrates that protostomes, notably fly and worm model organisms, are highly unrepresentative in exhibiting much, much greater levels of intron churning than vertebrates.

Although there are 17 human sulfatases, it is straightforward -- because of diagnostic residues and intronation pattern -- to trace back orthologs of individual family members to protostomes and pre-bilaterans. This is done for heparin sulfatase, SGSH, below.

This is rather an interesting situation because 3 of the 7 introns do not date back to early metazoans (eg sponge or anemone) but are post-echinoderm de novo events. Thus intron 2 (human numbering) arose prior to amphioxus, while introns 5 + 7 appear to have arisen after amphioxus but before lamprey.

As new introns are quite rare in chordates, this gene is potentially informative to the phylogenetic tree topology here. Unfortunately the hemichordate gene is not currently available and tunicates do not retain any ancestral information.

The table below shows the phylogenetic origin of human SGSH introns. Fused introns are denoted by ^ showing arthropods have most ancestral introns but also many fusions and insertions.
