Chromosome-level genome assembly of golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) in the family Carangidae.

ABSTRACT: Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus), a marine fish in the Carangidae family, has a wide geographical distribution and adapts to severe environmental rigours. It is also an economically valuable aquaculture fish. To understand the genetic mechanism of adaption to environmental rigours and improve the production in aquaculture, we assembled its genome. By combination of Illumina and Pacbio reads, the obtained genome sequence is 647.5?Mb with the contig N50 of 1.80?Mb and the scaffold N50 of 5.05?Mb. The assembly covers 98.9% of the estimated genome size (655?Mb). Based on Hi-C data, 99.4% of the assembled bases are anchored into 24 pseudo-chromosomes. The annotation includes 21,915 protein-coding genes, in which 95.7% of 2,586 BUSCO vertebrate conserved genes are complete. This genome is expected to contribute to the comparative analysis of the Carangidae family.

Project description:Long chain acyl-coA synthase (acsl) family genes activate the conversion of long chain fatty acids into acyl-coA to regulate fatty acid metabolism. However, the evolutionary characteristics, tissue expression and nutritional regulation of the acsl gene family are poorly understood in fish. The present study investigated the molecular characterization, tissue expression and nutritional regulation of the acsl gene family in golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). The results showed that the coding regions of acsl1, acsl3, acsl4, acsl5 and acsl6 cDNA were 2091 bp, 2142 bp, 2136 bp, 1977 bp and 2007 bp, encoding 697, 714, 712, 659 and 669 amino acids, respectively. Five acsl isoforms divided into two branches, namely, acsl1, acsl5 and acsl6, as well as acsl3 and acsl4. The tissue expression distribution of acsl genes showed that acsl1 and acsl3 are widely expressed in the detected tissues, while acsl4, acsl5 and acsl6 are mainly expressed in the brain. Compared to the fish fed with lard oil diets, the fish fed with soybean oil exhibited high muscular C18 PUFA contents and acsl1 and acsl3 mRNA levels, as well as low muscular SFA contents and acsl4 mRNA levels. High muscular n-3 LC-PUFA contents, and acsl3, acsl4 and acsl6 mRNA levels were observed in the fish fed with fish oil diets compared with those of fish fed with lard oil or soybean oil diets. High n-3 LC-PUFA levels and DHA contents, as well as the acsl3, acsl4 and acsl6 mRNA levels were exhibited in the muscle of fish fed diets with high dietary n-3 LC-PUFA levels. Additionally, the muscular acsl3, acsl4 and acsl6 mRNA expression levels, n-3 LC-PUFA and DHA levels were significantly up-regulated by the increase of dietary DHA proportions. Collectively, the positive relationship among dietary fatty acids, muscular fatty acids and acsl mRNA, indicated that T. ovatus Acsl1 and Acsl3 are beneficial for the C18 PUFA enrichment, and Acsl3, Acsl4 and Acsl6 are for n-3 LC-PUFA and DHA enrichment. The acquisition of fish Acsl potential function in the present study will play the foundation for ameliorating the fatty acids nutrition in farmed fish products.

Project description:Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as important pattern recognition receptors, represent a significant component of fish immune systems and play an important role in resisting the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. The TLR5 subfamily contains two types of TLR5, the membrane form of TLR5 (TLR5M) and the soluble form of TLR5 (TLR5S), whose detailed functions have not been completely elucidated. In the present study, we first identified two genes, TLR5M (ToTLR5M) and TLR5S (ToTLR5S), from golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus). The full-length ToTLR5M and ToTLR5S cDNA are 3644 bp and 2329 bp, respectively, comprising an open reading frame (ORF) of 2673 bp, encoding 890 amino acids, and an ORF of 1935 bp, encoding 644 amino acids. Both the ToTLR5s possess representative TLR domains; however, only ToTLR5M has transmembrane and intracellular TIR domains. Moreover, the transcription of two ToTLR5s was significantly upregulated after stimulation by polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly (I:C)), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and flagellin in both immune-related tissues (liver, intestine, blood, kidney, and skin) and nonimmune-related tissue (muscle). Furthermore, the results of bioinformatic and promoter analysis show that the transcription factors GATA-1 (GATA Binding Protein 1), C/EBPalpha (CCAAT Enhancer Binding Protein Alpha), and ICSBP (Interferon (IFN) consensus sequence binding protein) may play a positive role in moderating the expression of two ToTLR5s. Overexpression of ToTLR5M and ToTLR5S notably increases NF-?B (nuclear factor kappa-B) activity. Additionally, the binding assay revealed that two rToTLR5s can bind specifically to bacteria and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) containing Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio vulnificus, Escherichia coli, Photobacterium damselae, Staphylococcus aureus, Aeromonas hydrophila, LPS, poly(I:C), flagellin, and peptidoglycan (PGN). In conclusion, the present study may help to elucidate the function of ToTLR5M/S and clarify their possible roles in the fish immune response to bacterial infection.

Project description:Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are hormones that primarily stimulate and regulate animal physiological processes. In this study, we cloned and identified the open reading frame (ORF) cDNA sequences of IGF family genes: the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), and insulin-like growth factor 3 (IGF3). We found that IGF1, IGF2, and IGF3 have a total length of 558, 648, and 585 base pairs (bp), which encoded a predicted protein with 185, 215, and 194 amino acids (aa), respectively. Multiple sequences and phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the mature golden pompano IGFs had been conserved and showed high similarities with other teleosts. The tissue distribution experiment showed that IGF1 and IGF2 mRNA levels were highly expressed in the liver of female and male fish. In contrast, IGF3 was highly expressed in the gonads and livers of male and female fish, suggesting a high influence on fish reproduction. The effect of fasting showed that IGF1 and mRNA expression had no significant difference in the liver but significantly decreased after long-term (7 days) fasting in the muscles and started to recover after refeeding. IGF2 mRNA expression showed no significant difference in the liver but had a significant difference in muscles for short-term (2 days) and long-term fasting, which started to recover after refeeding, suggesting muscles are more susceptible to both short-term and long-term fasting. In vitro incubation of 17β-estradiol (E2) was observed to decrease the IGF1 and IGF3 mRNA expression level in a dose- (0.1, 1, and 10 μM) and time- (3, 6, and 12 h) dependent manner. In addition, E2 had no effect on IGF2 mRNA expression levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The effect of 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) in vitro incubation was observed to significantly increase the IGF3 mRNA expression level in a time- and dose-dependent manner. MT had no effect on IGF2 mRNA but was observed to decrease the IGF1 mRNA expression in the liver. Taken together, these data indicate that E2 and MT may either increase or decrease IGF expression in fish; this study provides basic knowledge and understanding of the expression and regulation of IGF family genes in relation to the nutritional status, somatic growth, and reproductive endocrinology of golden pompano for aquaculture development.
