Transcriptome of the demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica at life cycle transitions

ABSTRACT: Poriferans, like the demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica, are the earliest diverging metazoans and may hold the key to understanding the evolution of metazoan pathways. A. queenslandica exhibits a biphasic lifecycle, with free-swimming larvae and sessile adult stages. To study changes in the transcriptome during this period of morphological and ecological transition, we generated poly(A) fragment libraries for A. queenslandica at four developmental stages: precompetent and competent larvae, postlarvae, and adult. These libraries were sequenced using Applied Biosystems SOLiD technology. This study provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of gene expression in the sponge. It has elucidated the genes that define the two main phases of the sponge lifestyle and identified genes that are important for competence and metamorphosis. More importantly, this study has provided insights into the expression of the genes that characterize metazoan features, such as cell adhesion and differentiation, in an early metazoan.

RNA-seq of GFP positive and negative fractions of zebrafish transgenic cell lines of sea sponge enhancers

Project description:To investigate the activity of sponge enhancers in vertebrates transgenic experiments was performed where sponge enhancers were inserted into zebrafish embryos and stable lines generated abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) bind DNA enhancer sequences to regulate gene transcription in animals. Unlike TFs, the evolution of enhancers has been difficult to trace because of their fast evolution. Here, we take enhancers in the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica and test their activity in zebrafish and mouse. Of the five sponge enhancers assessed, three were located in conserved syntenic gene regions that are unique to animals (Islet–Scaper, Ccne1–Uri, Tdrd3–Diaph3). Despite diverging over 700 million years ago and a dearth of sequence identity, sponge enhancers are able to drive cell type-specific reporter gene expression in vertebrates. Analysis of the type and frequency of TF binding motifs in the sponge Islet enhancer allowed for the identification of homologous enhancers in human and mouse, which show remarkably similar reporter expression patterns to the sponge enhancer. These findings uncover an unexpected deep conservation of enhancers and suggest that enhancers established early in metazoan evolution can remain functional through retention of combinations of transcription factor binding motifs despite substantial sequence divergence.

Early metazoan cell type diversity and the evolution of multicellular gene regulation

Project description:We performed single-cell transcriptome analysis (using MARS-seq) in the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica (adult and larval stages), in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (adult stage), and in the placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens (adult stage). Additionally we performed bulk iChIP experiments (2 replicates of each experiment) using antibodies against H3K4me3 and H3K4me2 in adult Mnemiopsis leidyi and adult Trichoplax adhaerens.

Transcriptomes of individual Amphimedon queenslandica larvae and settled post-larvae that were presented with one of three different settlement cues at different times (hours) post emergence from the adult sponge

Project description:To assess how larvae of different ages vary in their responses to different settlement cues, we induced individual Amphimedon queenslandica larvae with one of three different settlement cues at 1.5, 3, 5, and 8 hours post emergence (hpe) from the adult sponge. The settlement cues were (1) the articulated coralline algae Amphiroa fragilissima, (2) the crustose coralline algae Mesophyllum sp., and (3) the filtered seawater (FSW) negative control. We used CEL-Seq2, an RNA-Sequencing approach (Hashimshony et al., 2016), to generate transcriptome data for a total of 144 individuals (larvae and settled post-larvae) at 2 hours post induction (hpi) to the different settlement cues.

ATAC-seq data of Amphimedon queenslandica (Demosponge species) through eight developmental stages, from white stage (cleavage) to adult

Project description:We report a comprehensive DNA accessibility profile of the Demosponge species Amphimedon queenslandica using Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) through six embryonic developmental stages, a larval stage and adult stage. We assessed the dynamics of chromatin accessibility and identified 40,218 consensus peaks, 4,751 of them were differentially accessible in at least one developmental stage. Cis-regulatory elements were more dynamically regulated while proximal elements were more likely to be constitutively active. Furthermore, we identify a shift towards repressive chromatin in mid and late developmental stages which coincide with the increase in expression of genes of Metazoan origin. Finally, we show that cis-regulatory regions are differentially enriched in different Transcription Factor binding sites (TFBS) which demarcate three main stages of development and importantly, they are predictive of cis-regulatory regions in other animal species but not in Capsaspora owczarzaki, a close relative of animals.

Interdependent photo- and chemosensory systems regulate larval settlement in a marine sponge

Project description:Marine pelagic larvae from throughout the animal kingdom use a hierarchy of environmental cues to identify a suitable benthic habitat on which to settle and metamorphose into the reproductive phase of the life cycle. The majority of larvae are induced to settle by biochemical cues and many species have long been known to preferentially settle in the dark. Combined, these data suggest that larval responses to light and biochemical cues may be linked, but this is yet to be explored at the molecular level. Here, we track vertical position of larvae of the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica to show that they descend to the benthos at twilight, by which time they are competent to respond to biochemical cues, consistent with them naturally settling in the dark. We then conduct larval settlement assays under three different light regimes (natural day-night, constant dark or constant light), and use transcriptomics on individual larvae to identify candidate molecular pathways underlying the different settlement responses that we observe. We find that constant light prevents larval settlement in response to biochemical cues, likely via actively repressing chemostransduction; this is consistent with the sustained upregulation of a photosensory cryptochrome and two putative inactivators of G-protein signalling in the constant light only. We hypothesise that photo- and chemosensory systems may be hierarchically integrated into ontogeny to regulate larval settlement via nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signalling in this sponge that belongs to one of the earliest branching of the extant animal lineages.
