Four complete mitochondrial genomes of living wild-type chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus (Amphibia: Cryptobranchidae).

Project description:The Chinese giant salamander (CGS), Andrias davidianus (Amphibian, Caudata, Cryptobranchidae), is endemic to China. After overhunting in the 1990's, it is very difficult to find the CGS in the wild. Due to mating disorder, the captive breeding population is genetically confounded. The genetic backgrounds of all wild-release individuals in China are not explicit. Herein, we reported four living wild-type complete mitochondrial genomes of this species. The gene order and contents are identical to those found in typical vertebrates. Thirteen protein-coding genes (PCGs) of 7 A. davidianus (4 from this study, 3 retrieved from GenBank) and 11 other closely species retrieved from GenBank were used to reconstruct phylogenetic tree. The Maximum likelihood (ML) topology shown that the clade of CGS has two subclades with a high support (100%). This study provides partial fundamental information for further exploring the true genetic background of whole population of A. davidianus.

3D bite modeling and feeding mechanics of the largest living amphibian, the Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus (Amphibia:Urodela).

Project description:Biting is an integral feature of the feeding mechanism for aquatic and terrestrial salamanders to capture, fix or immobilize elusive or struggling prey. However, little information is available on how it works and the functional implications of this biting system in amphibians although such approaches might be essential to understand feeding systems performed by early tetrapods. Herein, the skull biomechanics of the Chinese giant salamander, Andrias davidianus is investigated using 3D finite element analysis. The results reveal that the prey contact position is crucial for the structural performance of the skull, which is probably related to the lack of a bony bridge between the posterior end of the maxilla and the anterior quadrato-squamosal region. Giant salamanders perform asymmetrical strikes. These strikes are unusual and specialized behavior but might indeed be beneficial in such sit-and-wait or ambush-predators to capture laterally approaching prey. However, once captured by an asymmetrical strike, large, elusive and struggling prey have to be brought to the anterior jaw region to be subdued by a strong bite. Given their basal position within extant salamanders and their "conservative" morphology, cryptobranchids may be useful models to reconstruct the feeding ecology and biomechanics of different members of early tetrapods and amphibians, with similar osteological and myological constraints.

Data set for transcriptome analysis of the Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus ).

Project description:The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) occupies a seat at the phylogenetic and species evolution process, which makes it an invaluable model for genetics; however, the genetic information and gene sequences about the Chinese giant salamander in public databases are scanty. Hence, we aimed to perform transcriptome analysis with the help of high-throughput sequencing. In this data, 61,317,940 raw reads were acquired from Chinese giant salamander mRNA using Illumina paired-end sequencing platform. After de novo assembly, a total of 72,072 unigenes were gained, in which 33,834 (46.95%) and 29,479 (40.91%) transcripts exhibited homology to sequences in the Nr database and Swiss-Prot database, (E-value <10(-5)), respectively. In the obtained unigenes, 18,019 (25%) transcripts were assigned with at least one Gene Ontology term, of which 1218 (6.8%) transcripts were assigned to immune system processes. In addition, a total of 17,572 assembled sequences were assigned into 241 predicted KEGG metabolic pathways. Among these, 2552 (14.5%) transcripts were assigned to the immune system relevant pathway and 5 transcripts were identified as potential antimicrobial peptides (AMPs).

Proteomic analysis of eleven tissues in the Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus).

Project description:The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus, CGS) is the largest extant amphibian species in the world. Global quantitative proteome analysis of multiple tissues would indicate tissue-specific physiological processes and clarify the function of each protein from a whole-organism perspective. This study performed proteome analysis of eleven tissues collected from adult CGSs using iTRAQ coupled with LC-MS/MS technology. Based on the predicted protein database from previously obtained CGS transcriptome data, 2153 proteins were identified for subsequent analysis. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) clustered 2153 proteins into 17 co-expressed modules, which will be useful for predicting the functions of unannotated proteins. The protein levels of molecular complexes with housekeeping functions, such as ribosomes, spliceosomes and mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes, were tightly regulated in different tissues of the CGS, as they are in mammalian tissues. Transcription regulator, pathway and bio-functional analysis of tissue-specific proteins showed that highly expressed proteins largely reflected the physiological functions of specific tissues. Our data, as an initial atlas of protein expression of an amphibian species, will be useful for further molecular biology research on CGS.

Data from proteomic analysis of the skin of Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus).

Project description:The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus), renowned as a living fossil, is the largest and longest-lived amphibian species in the world. Its skin is rich in collagens, and has developed mucous gland which could secrete a large amount of mucus under the scraping and electric stimulation. The molting is the degraded skin stratum corneum. To establish the functional skin proteome of Chinese giant salamander, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) were applied to detect the composition and relative abundance of the proteins in the skin, mucus and molting. The determination of the general proteome in the skin can potentially serve as a foundation for future studies characterizing the skin proteomes from diseased salamander to provide molecular and mechanistic insights into various disease states and potential therapeutic interventions. Data presented here are also related to the research article "Proteomic analysis of the skin of Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus)" in the Journal of Proteomics [1].

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Mannosyltransferase Ⅰ Protects Chinese Giant Salamander, Andrias davidianus, against Iridovirus.

Project description:Glycosylphosphatidylinositol mannosyltransferase I (GPI-MT-I) is an essential glycosyltransferase of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor proteins (GPI-APs) that transfers the first of the four mannoses in GPI-AP precursors, which have multiple functions, including immune response and signal transduction. In this study, the GPI-MT-I gene that regulates GPI-AP biosynthesis in Andrias davidianus (AdGPI-MT-I) was characterized for the first time. The open reading frame (ORF) of AdGPI-MT-I is 1293 bp and encodes a protein of 430 amino acids that contains a conserved PMT2 superfamily domain. AdGPI-MT-I mRNA was widely expressed in the tissues of the Chinese giant salamander. The mRNA expression level of AdGPI-MT-I in the spleen, kidney, and muscle cell line (GSM cells) was significantly upregulated post Chinese giant salamander iridovirus (GSIV) infection. The mRNA expression of the virus major capsid protein (MCP) in AdGPI-MT-I-overexpressed cells was significantly reduced. Moreover, a lower level of virus MCP synthesis and gene copying in AdGPI-MT-I-overexpressed cells was confirmed by western blot and ddPCR. These results collectively suggest that GSIV replication in GSM cells was significantly reduced by the overexpression of the AdGPI-MT-I protein, which may contribute to a better understanding of the antiviral mechanism against iridovirus infection.

Proteomic analysis of eleven tissues of Chinese Giant Salamander (Andrias davidianus)

Project description:The Chinese giant salamander (CGS, Andrias davidianus) is the largest and longest-lived amphibian. Global and quantitative proteome analysis of multiple tissues would indicate tissue-specific mechanisms and investigate the function of each protein from a whole-organism perspective. Herein, this study performed proteome analysis of eleven tissues collected from adult female CGS using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled with LC-MS/MS methods. Based on the predicted protein database from CGS transcriptome database previously obtained, we identified a total of 4607 proteins with quantitative information. Among them, 2153 proteins were shared by two iTRAQ 8-plex experiments with liver as common sample, and these proteins were used for subsequent analysis. Our data will be useful for future research into this large-genome species, as well as for vertebrate-wide comparative genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic studies.
