Introduction to Melanopsin Evolution

Melanopsins form one of the five basic classes of bilateran opsins. Frog dermatocytes provided the index sequence for which the gene family is named, though melanopsins are more typically expressed elsewhere. The opsin research community has been slow to recognize that ecdysozoan imaging opsins do not form a separate opsin class but in fact are orthologous to deuterostomal melanopsins. Here by definition orthologous means vertically descended from a single gene in the last common ancestor (which allows for multiple independent lineage-specific expansions and divergences).

The unity of melanopsins follows from agreement of 5 largely independent methods: alignment of all opsins into trees, best-blast clustering, diagnostic conserved residues specific to opsin class, informative indels, and synapomorphic intron positions and phases. It is especially hard to understand, given over a thousand possible intron locations in a protein of opsin length, how introns of insect and octopus melanopsins could otherwise precisely agree (after restricting to ancestral) with those of vertebrate melanopsins.

Melanopsin MEL1 retention with exon loss in mammals

Melanopsin is an ancient rhabodomeric Gq opsin that persists all examined extant deuterostomes (which otherwise use ciliary opsins and the peropsin/neuropsin/RGR opsins). The melanopsins in earlier diverging clades are remarkable for their greatly extended C-terminal extension whose location is presumably cytoplasmic and whose function is quite unknown. This extension has undergone rapid change in post-frog species such as birds and lizards resulting in novel exons, diminished distal homology -- and in mammals, complete loss of terminal exons and any functionality that they provided.

Less drastic length alterations occur at the amino terminus as well and indels are far more common than in other opsin families. This raises questions about what lies behind these dramatic shifts. The recent determination of the structure of squid melanopsin -- with a big role for its cytoplasmic tail -- won't see annotation transfer to non-cephalopod melanopsins because conservation is observed only to a proline 8 of 127 residues past the FR motif. Even central conservation rapidly drops below 45% even within other lophotrochozoans. Consequently the 25 angstrom cytoplasmic knob of squid melanopsin has no value to annotation transfer and probably has very little to do with Galpha signaling specificity.

The comparative genomics of a small deletion in exon 4 of bat melanopsin is shown below; its functional significance for the DRY second cytoplasmic loop (much less photoreception) is unknown. The residue otherwise is quite well conserved within mammals and restricted to A, S, or T in all vertebrate melanopsins.

Melanopsin MEL2 gene loss in mammals

A paralogous second melanopsin in non-mammalian vertebrates was found quite recently by Bellingham et al. It is still unclear whether this gene is present in chondrichthyes or lamprey because of the limited coverage of current assemblies. This evidently arose prior to divergence of teleost fish by a segmental duplication because some evidence of flanking synteny survives. It cannot have arisen by the whole genome duplication in fish because that would not have descended to frog, lizards, and birds. Instead all whole genomic duplication copies of fish melanopsins were lost. No sign of this second gene can be found in platypus, marsupials, or placental mammals -- yet another longstanding functional opsin gene lost in the mammalian crown group.

Transmembrane, DRY loop, and Schiff base regions of human MEL1 are very similar to lizard MEL2:
