The mitochondrial genome of broad-folded frog (Hylarana latouthii).

ABSTRACT: The broad-folded frog, Hylarana latouthii, is an endemic freshwater frog in southern China. In the present study, the mitochondrial DNA sequence of the H. latouchii was first determined. The genome was 17,291 bp in length, which contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal tRNAs, 22 transfer RNAs) and a putative CR (D-loop). The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the 13 protein-coding genes of H. latouchii and 11 closely species.

Ranatensin-HL: A Bombesin-Related Tridecapeptide from the Skin Secretion of the Broad-Folded Frog, Hylarana latouchii.

Project description:Bombesin-related peptides are a family of peptides whose prototype was discovered in amphibian skin and which exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Since the initial isolation of bombesin from Bombina bombina skin, diverse forms of bombesin-related peptides have been found in the skins across Anura. In this study, a novel bombesin-related peptide of the ranatensin subfamily, named ranatensin-HL, was structurally-characterised from the skin secretion of the broad-folded frog, Hylarana latouchii, through combination of molecular cloning and mass spectrometric methodologies. It is composed of 13 amino acid residues, pGlu-RAGNQWAIGHFM-NH?, and resembles an N-terminally extended form of Xenopus neuromedin B. Ranatensin-HL and its C-terminal decapeptide (ranatensin-HL-10) were chemically synthesised and subjected to in vitro smooth muscle assays in which they were found to display moderate stimulatory effects on rat urinary bladder and uterus smooth muscles with EC50 values in the range of 1-10 nM. The prepro-ranatensin-HL was highly homological to a bombesin-like peptide from Rana catesbeiana at both nucleotide and amino acid levels, which might provide a clue for the taxonomic classification of ranid frogs in the future.

Evaluating the Bioactivity of a Novel Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Peptide Brevinin-1GHa from the Frog Skin Secretion of Hylarana guentheri and Its Analogues.

Project description:Many antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified from the skin secretion of the frog Hylarana guentheri (H.guentheri), including Temporin, Brevinin-1, and Brevinin-2. In this study, an antimicrobial peptide named Brevinin-1GHa was identified for the first time by using 'shotgun' cloning. The primary structure was also confirmed through mass spectral analysis of the skin secretion purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). There was a Rana-box (CKISKKC) in the C-terminal of Brevinin-1GHa, which formed an intra-disulfide bridge. To detect the significance of Rana-box and reduce the hemolytic activity, we chemically synthesized Brevinin-1GHb (without Rana-box) and Brevinin-1GHc (Rana-box in central position). Brevinin-1GHa exhibited a strong and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against seven microorganisms, while Brevinin-1GHb only inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which indicates Rana-box was necessary for the antimicrobial activity of Brevinin-1GHa. The results of Brevinin-1GHc suggested transferring Rana-box to the central position could reduce the hemolytic activity, but the antimicrobial activity also declined. Additionally, Brevinin-1GHa demonstrated the capability of permeating cell membrane and eliminating biofilm of S. aureus, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Candida albicans (C. albicans). The discovery of this research may provide some novel insights into natural antimicrobial drug design.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hylarana latouchii (Anura: Ranidae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:We reported the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of broad-folded frog (Hylarana latouchii). This mitogenome is 17,007 bp in size and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and one non-coding sequence (D-loop). The total composition was 58.54% A + T and 41.46% G + C (T: 29.31%, C: 27.33%, A: 29.23%, and G: 14.13%). The phylogenetic analysis revealed that H. latouchii formed a clade with other two species of genus Hylarana. This mitogenomic sequence of H. latouchii provides useful data to study its population genetics and phylogeography.

Characterization of complete mitochondrial genome of Hylarana guentheri (Anura: Ranidae) and its phylogenetic implication.

Project description:The Günther's frog (Hylarana guentheri) belongs to a member of the family Ranidae. We provide a complete mitogenome of H. guentheri and examine its phylogenetic position with other related species. Its mitogenome is a closed circular molecule 18,698 bp in length including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA coding genes, two rRNA-coding genes, and a control region (CR) that are conserved in most Ranidae mitogenomes. The overall base composition of the H. guentheri mitogenome is 29.27% A, 30.45% T, 26.14% C, and 14.15% G, which is typical for Amphibious animals' mitochondrial genomes. The alignment of the Ranidae species control regions showed high levels of genetic variation and abundant AT content. Seven tandem repeats were found in the control region. Phylogenetic analysis with Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood based on 13 protein-coding genes indicated that H. guentheri is more closely related to Nidirana okinavana than to Babina subaspera and B. holsti. The complete mitogenome of H. guentheri provides a potentially useful resource for further exploration of the taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of Hylarana and related species.

Project description:In this work, we present for the first time the mitochondrial genome of a paradoxical frog (Pseudis tocantins). This genome is 15.56 kb, excluding the control region, and is similar in gene content to other hylid mitogenomes. Maximum likelihood analysis, using the mitogenomes of several anurans, indicated P. tocantins as closely related to other hylid species.

Exploring the active core of a novel antimicrobial peptide, palustrin-2LTb, from the Kuatun frog, Hylarana latouchii, using a bioinformatics-directed approach.

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), one of the most promising next-generation antibiotics to address the problem of antibiotic-resistance, have gained increasing attention in recent decades. However, some bottlenecks, such as high manufacturing costs and high toxicity, have greatly hindered their development. To overcome these problems, we developed an efficient modification approach to find the valid active-core fragments of AMPs by mimicking the cleavage process of trypsin-like specificity proteases in silico, and truncating the peptide. Herein, we used the structure of a novel AMP, palustrin-2LTb, as the template and synthesised a set of interceptive peptides using computer-aided design and prediction. Functional screening data indicated that truncated fragment 3 not only maintained and optimised antimicrobial efficacy of the parent peptide but also showed great in vivo therapeutic potential in an MRSA-infected insect larvae model. Overall, the demonstration of the therapeutic efficacy of fragment 3 showcases the efficiency of our approach for future modification of AMPs.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the high-altitude Brazilian tree frog Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Anura, Hylidae).

Project description:The first complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) for the genus Bokermannohyla (Hylidae) is presented. The mtDNA contains 17,325?bp and is similar in size, gene content, and gene location to other hylid mitochondrial genomes described, with 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA, and 13 PCGs. The control region (D-loop) is shorter than in mtDNAs of hylids from Asia. A phylogenetic tree based on homologous genes did not corroborate the monophyly of Hylidae neither the recently proposed monophyly of Hyla and Dryophytes.

The complete mitochondrial genome of large odorous frog, Odorrana graminea (Amphibia: Ranidae) and phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:The mitochondrial genome of Odorrana graminea was sequenced and analyzed. The complete mitochondrial genome is 18,106 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 21 transfer RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). All PCGs are initiated by ATN codons, except for GTG for COI and ND5. Five PCGs use a common stop codon of TAA or TAG, whereas COI terminats with AGG as stop codon; ND6 with AGA; the other six ends with an incomplete stop codon (a single stop nucleotide T). The analysis results based on Bayesian inference method provide a useful resource for the phylogenetic studies of superfamily Ranoidea.
