Project description:The cuticles of arthropods, including aquatic crustaceans like Daphnia, provide an interface between the organism and its environment. Thus, the cuticle’s structure influences how the organism responds to and interacts with its surroundings. Here, we used label-free quantification proteomics to provide a proteome of the molted cuticle of Daphnia magna, which has long been a prominent subject of studies on ecology, evolution, and developmental biology, anddetected 278 high confidence proteins. Using protein sequence domain and functional enrichment analyses, we identified chitin-binding structural proteins and chitin modifying enzymes as most abundant protein groups in the cuticle proteome.Structural cuticular protein families showed a similar distribution to those found in other arthropods and indicated proteins responsible for the soft and flexible structure of the Daphnia cuticle . Finally, cuticle protein genes were clustered as tandem gene arrays in the Daphnia genome, indicating their importance for adaptation to environmental change. The cuticle proteome presented here will be a valuable resource to the Daphnia research community, informing investigations on diverse topics such as the genetic basis of interactions with predators and parasites.

Project description:To investigate the function of small RNAs in cuticle biosynthesis in B. napus, we constructed four small RNA libraries from stem epidermis of wax-deficient and wild-type materials for sequencing. Subsequently, a total of 43,840,451 clean reads were generated and 24nt sequences represented the dominant percentage. Totally, 300 unique conserved miRNAs were identified and 8 of them showed differentially expressed. In addition, the expression of six novel miRNAs were also changed. After target prediction and function annotation, three miRNAs (aly-miR165a-5p, aly-miR408-5p, and novel-mir2) might influence cuticle morphogenesis not only by repressing the biosynthesis of cuticular substrates and components, but also blocking the transmembrane transport processes. The expression level of aly-miR408-5p and aly-miR165a-5p were increased in glossy materials examined by stem-loop qRT-PCR, while their predicted target genes (BnaC04g29170D, BnaA01g25630D, BnaA06g40560D) were down-regulated. These results suggested that miRNAs might influence cuticle biosynthesis by repressing cuticle-related genes expression in B. napus. Both the biosynthesis and secretion processes of cuticlular components might be influenced by miRNAs. These results will promote the study of post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms of cuticle biosynthesis in B. napus and provide new direction for further research.

Project description:The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is the most destructive pest of rice and causes serious economic damage in Asia. Understanding the composition of Nilaparvata lugens cuticle protein will help pest control. In this study, Nilaparvata lugens cuticle was disserted, and underwent shotgun MS/MS analysis.

Project description:In Arabidopsis mature seeds, the onset of the embryo-to-seedling transition is nonautonomously controlled, being blocked by endospermic abscisic acid (ABA) release under unfavorable conditions. Mature embryos lack an impermeable cuticle, unlike seedlings, consistent with their endospermic ABA uptake capability. Seedling cuticle formation occurs after germination rather than during embryogenesis. Mature endosperm removal prevents seedling cuticle formation and seed reconstitution by endosperm grafting onto embryos shows that the endosperm promotes seedling cuticle development. Grafting different endosperm and embryo mutant combinations, together with biochemical, microscopy and mass spectrometry approaches, reveals that endospermic release of Tyrosyl Sulfate Transferase (TPST)-sulfated CIF2 and PSY1 peptides promotes seedling cuticle development. Endosperm-deprived embryos produced nonviable seedlings bearing numerous developmental defects, in a manner unrelated to embryo nourishment, all restored by exogenously provided endosperm. Hence, seedling establishment is nonautonomous, requiring the mature endosperm.

Project description:The translational repressor Nanos is expressed in the germline and stem cell populations of jellyfish as well as humans. Surprisingly, we observed that unlike other mRNAs, synthetic nanos1 RNA translates very poorly if at all after injection into Xenopus oocytes. The current model of simple sequestration of nanos1 within germinal granules is insufficient to explain this observation and suggests that a second level of repression must be operating. We find that an RNA secondary structural element immediately downstream of the AUG start site is both necessary and sufficient to prevent ribosome scanning in the absence of a repressor. Accordingly, repression is relieved by small in-frame insertions before this secondary structure, or translational control element (TCE), that provide the 15 nucleotides required for ribosome entry. nanos1 is translated shortly after fertilization, pointing to the existence of a developmentally regulated activator. Oocyte extracts were rendered fully competent for nanos1 translation after the addition of a small amount of embryo extract, confirming the presence of an activator. Misexpression of Nanos1 in oocytes from unlocalized RNA results in abnormal development, highlighting the importance of TCE-mediated translational repression. Although found in prokaryotes, steric hindrance as a mechanism for negatively regulating translation is novel for a eukaryotic RNA. These observations unravel a new mode of nanos1 regulation at the post-transcriptional level that is essential for normal development.

Project description:Multiple epitranscriptomic maps of the RNA modification 5-methylcytosine (m5C) have been prepared, often diverging markedly from each other in terms of site abundance and identity. Differences in detection methods, data depth and analysis pipelines, but also biological factors underly much of this disparity. To address this, we re-analysed available datasets from five human cell lines and seven tissues, generated by the prevailing bisulfite RNA sequencing method, with a coherent m5C site calling pipeline. We used the resulting union list of 6,393 m5C sites called across the broader transcriptome to study site distribution, enzymology, interaction with RNA-binding proteins and molecular function. We confirmed prior observations such as predominance of m5C sites within mRNA exons, enrichment around start codons, and that the tRNA:m5C methyltransferases (MTases) NSUN2 and 6 are the main m5C ‘writers’ for mRNAs. Each NSUN enzyme recognises mRNA features that strongly resemble their respective canonical substrates. Assessing proximity between mRNA m5C sites and footprints of RNA-binding proteins reconfirmed the mRNA export factor ALYREF as an m5C ‘reader’ and identified new candidates for functional interactions, including the RNA helicases DDX3X, involved in mRNA translation, and UPF1, an mRNA decay factor. Experiments in HeLa cells lacking NSUN2 showed that this affected both, steady-state level and UPF1-binding to target mRNAs. Our studies emphasise the emerging diversity of both, m5C writers and readers, affecting mRNA function.

Project description:To investigate the function of SlNOR-like1 in the regulation of cuticle formation in tomato fruits, we established nor-like1 mutants by CRISPR/Cas9. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of tomato exocarp of wild type (WT) and nor-like1 mutant at mature green (MG) stage.

Project description:We performed a genome-wide analysis of mRNAs and lncRNAs from Small Tail Han sheep of genotypes FecBBFecBB (Han BB) and FecB+ FecB+ (Han++) and from Dorset sheep (Dorset) to identify potential regulators of fecundity. An integrated analysis revealed significantly correlated patterns of expression. Dramatic changes of mRNAs and lncRNAs suggest their critical roles in sheep fecundity. This study provides a novel view of the regulatory mechanisms involved in sheep fecundity.
