Evolution of immune genes is associated with the Black Death.

Project description:Infectious diseases are among the strongest selective pressures driving human evolution1,2. This includes the single greatest mortality event in recorded history, the first outbreak of the second pandemic of plague, commonly called the Black Death, which was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis3. This pandemic devastated Afro-Eurasia, killing up to 30-50% of the population4. To identify loci that may have been under selection during the Black Death, we characterized genetic variation around immune-related genes from 206 ancient DNA extracts, stemming from two different European populations before, during and after the Black Death. Immune loci are strongly enriched for highly differentiated sites relative to a set of non-immune loci, suggesting positive selection. We identify 245 variants that are highly differentiated within the London dataset, four of which were replicated in an independent cohort from Denmark, and represent the strongest candidates for positive selection. The selected allele for one of these variants, rs2549794, is associated with the production of a full-length (versus truncated) ERAP2 transcript, variation in cytokine response to Y. pestis and increased ability to control intracellular Y. pestis in macrophages. Finally, we show that protective variants overlap with alleles that are today associated with increased susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, providing empirical evidence for the role played by past pandemics in shaping present-day susceptibility to disease.

Ligand-receptor co-evolution shaped the jasmonate pathway in land plants

Project description:Jasmonoyl-isoleucine regulates defence, growth and developmental responses in eudicots. Bryophyte genomes have conserved sequences for all JA-Ile signalling pathway components, but in contrast to higher plants, the bioactive hormone has not been identified. We show that the JA-Ile receptor COI1 is functionally conserved in the bryophyte Marchantia polymorpha, but responds to a different ligand. Although Marchantia plants neither synthesize nor respond to JA-Ile, loss-of-function Mpcoi1 mutants have phenotypic defects reminiscent of COI1-dependent functions in Arabidopsis. AtCOI1 functionally complements Mpcoi1 mutation and confers JA-Ile responsiveness on M. polymorpha, as does a single amino acid substitution in MpCOI1 that switches ligand specificity. Mass spectrometry quantification of cyclopentenone derivatives, bioactivity analysis and COI1-ligand interaction assays pinpointed two isomers of the JA-Ile precursor dinor-OPDA (dinor-cis-OPDA and dinor-iso-OPDA) as the natural MpCOI1 ligands. Our results identify the ancestral jasmonate, confirm the functional conservation of its signalling pathway, and show that JA-Ile and COI1 emergence in higher plants from their ancestral counterparts required co-evolution of hormone biosynthetic complexity and receptor specificity.
