OBP56h modulates social interactions in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Social interactions in insects are strongly driven by conspecific chemical signals that are detected via chemoreceptors of olfactory and gustatory neurons. Odorant binding proteins (Obps) transport volatile odorants to chemosensory receptors, but their pleiotropic effects on behaviors and other traits are not well characterized. Here, we knocked down expression of 14 Drosophila melanogaster Obp genes using RNAi and found that seven had reduced male aggressive behavior, particularly Obp56h. RNAi knockdown of Obp56h gene expression also reduced courtship latency; significantly impacted cuticular hydrocarbon production, with a major reduction in 5-Tricosene (5-T); and affected expression of many other genes, including Or19b, Gr97a and several genes associated with lipase activity. We propose that Obp56h plays a dual role in pheromone production and perception and that 5-T, an inhibitory sex pheromone produced by males that increases latency for early stages of courtship, is implicated as a possible ligand for Obp56h.

Tissue-specific transcriptomics, chromosomal localization, and phylogeny of chemosensory and odorant binding proteins from the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum reveal subgroup specificities for olfaction or more general functions

Project description:Chemoreception is based on the senses of smell and taste that are crucial for animals to find new food sources, shelter, and mates. The initial step in olfaction involves the translocation of odorants from the periphery through the aqueous lymph of the olfactory sensilla to the odorant receptors by chemosensory proteins (CSPs) or odorant binding proteins (OBPs).To better understand the roles of CSPs and OBPs in a coleopteran pest species, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), we performed transcriptome analyses of male and female antennae, heads, mouthparts, legs, and bodies, which revealed that all 20 CSPs and 49 of the 50 previously annotated OBPs are transcribed. Only six of the 20 CSP are significantly transcriptionally enriched in the main chemosensory tissues (antenna and/or mouthparts), whereas of the OBPs all eight members of the antenna binding proteins II (ABPII) subgroup, 18 of the 20 classic OBP subgroup, the C+OBP, and only five of the 21 C-OBPs show increased chemosensory tissue expression. By MALDI-TOF-TOF MS protein fingerprinting, we confirmed three CSPs, four ABPIIs, three classic OBPs, and four C-OBPs in the antennae.Most of the classic OBPs and all ABPIIs are involved in chemoreception. A few are also present in other tissues like odoriferous glands and testes and may be involved in release or transfer of chemical signals. The majority of the CSPs as well as the C-OBPs are not enriched in antennae or mouthparts, suggesting a more general role in the transport of hydrophobic molecules.

binding specificity of Native Odorant-Binding Protein isoforms is driven by phosphorylation and O-N-acetylglucosamiylation in the pig (sus scrofa)

Project description:In pig, phosphorylation drives binding specificity of recombinant OBP (stricto sensu, referred as OBP in this text) isoforms (Brimau et al., 2010) that are not O-GlcNAcylated, contrary to native OBP, purified from nasal tissue (Nagnan-Le Meillour et al., 2014). In order to precise the role of both PTM in OBP binding abilities to pheromone components in pig, we purified OBP isoforms by HPLC and performed structure-function relationship study. We have identified phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation on 4 OBP isoforms by immunodetection with specific antibodies, with careful controls. The binding properties of the 4 isoforms were monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy in exactly the same conditions previously used for recombinant OBP isoforms (Brimau et al., 2010). The PTM sites were mapped by CID-nano-LC-MS/MS and BEMAD (for phosphorylation) to link the binding affinities to phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation patterns of native OBP isoforms. Comparison of binding affinities between recombinant (only phosphorylated) and native (also O-GlcNAcylated) isoforms indicates that O-GlcNAcylation increases the binding specificity to pheromone components. This is the first time that such PTM sites are localized in OBP by high-resolution mass spectrometry, and that a demonstration of their involvement in odorant molecules discrimination by OBP isoforms is given

Integrating lipid metabolism, pheromone production and perception by Fruitless and Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4

Project description:Our study found that the non-sex specific Fru isoform (FruCOM) is necessary for pheromone biosynthesis in hepatocyte-like oenocytes for sexual attraction. Loss of FruCOM in oenocytes resulted in adults with reduced levels of the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs), including sex pheromones, and show altered sexual attraction and reduced cuticular hydrophobicity. To further determine the downstream related mechanism, we performed bulk RNAseq analysis on the oenocyte of Drosophila melanogaster.

Identification of post-translational modifications on Odorant-Binding Protein isoforms from pig olfactory secretome by high-resolution mass spectrometry: O-beta-N-acetylglucosaminylation and phosphorylation

Project description:Odorant-Binding Proteins (OBP) are players of perireceptor events in olfaction. A molecular mechanism explaining their specificity for odors and pheromones has still to be proposed. A new track comes from the analysis of pig olfactory secretome, which is mainly composed of OBP isoforms, generated from 3 gene products by PTM, phosphorylation and O‐β‐N‐acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation), which are unusual for secreted proteins. These diverse isoforms could display different binding properties towards ligands. Before testing such a function, both post-translational modifications, although assessed by specific antibodies, have to be identified by mass spectrometry. We report here for the first time, the identification of phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation on peptides coming from trypsin digestion of OBP by ESI-HCD-MS/MS. PEAKS software analysis of raw MS data allowed selecting spectra that were analyzed manually to identify PTM. Four peptides corresponding to two different portions of OBP sequence were modified either by a phosphate group or by a hexNAc moiety. Due to the high energy used in HCD, the data did not allow precise localization of the modified sites. We suggest that these two PTM, by generating multiple isoforms, should extend the binding repertoire of secreted OBPs

Changes in splicing and neuromodulatory gene expression programs in sensory neurons with pheromone signaling and social experience

Project description:Social experience and pheromone signaling in ORNs affect pheromone responses and male courtship behaviors in Drosophila, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this circuit-level neuromodulation remain less clear. Previous studies identified social experience and pheromone signaling-dependent modulation of chromatin around behavioral switch gene fruitless, which encodes a transcription factor necessary and sufficient for male behaviors. To identify the molecular mechanisms driving social experience-dependent neuromodulation, we performed RNA-seq from antennal samples of mutant fruit flies in pheromone receptors and fruitless, as well as grouped or isolated wild-type males. We found that loss of pheromone detection differentially alters the levels of fruitless exons suggesting changes in splicing patterns. In addition, many Fruitless target neuromodulatory genes, such as neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels, and ion transporters, are differentially regulated by social context and pheromone signaling. Our results suggest that modulation of circuit activity and behaviors in response to social experience and pheromone signaling arise due to changes in transcriptional programs for neuromodulators downstream of behavioral switch gene function.

Obp56h RNA seq

Project description:Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are members of a rapidly evolving multigene family traditionally thought to facilitate chemosensation. However, studies on Drosophila have shown that members of this family have evolved functions beyond chemosensation, as evident from their expression in reproductive tissues and the brain. Previous studies implicated diverse functions of Obp56h, a member of the largest gene cluster of the D. melanogaster Obp repertoire. Here, we examined the effect of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of Obp56h on two fitness phenotypes, resistance to starvation stress and heat stress, and on locomotion and sleep phenotypes. Obp56h-/- mutants show a strong sexually dimorphic effect on starvation stress survival, with females being more resistant to starvation stress than the control. In contrast, Obp56h-/- females, but not males, are highly sensitive to heat stress. Both sexes show changes in locomotion and sleep patterns. Transcriptional profiling of RNA from heads of Obp56h-/- flies and the wildtype control reveal differentially expressed genes, including gene products associated with antimicrobial immune responses and members of the Turandot family of stress-induced secreted peptides. In addition, differentially expressed genes of unknown function were identified in both sexes. Genes encoding components of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, cuticular proteins, gene products associated with regulation of feeding behavior (Lst and CCHa2), ribosomal proteins, lncRNAs, snoRNAs, tRNAs, and snRNAs show changes in transcript abundances in Obp56h-/- females. These differentially expressed genes are likely to contribute to Obp56h-mediated effects on the diverse phenotypes that arise upon deletion of this odorant binding protein.

Functional Diversification, Redundancy and Epistasis among Paralogs of the Drosophila melanogaster Obp50a-d Gene Cluster

Project description:Large multigene families, such as the insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs), are thought to arise through functional diversification after repeated gene duplications. Whereas many OBPs function in chemoreception, members of this family are also expressed in tissues outside chemosensory organs. Paralogs of the Obp50 gene cluster are expressed in metabolic and male reproductive tissues, but their functions and interrelationships remain unknown. Here, we report the genetic dissection of four members of the Obp50 cluster, which are in close physical proximity without intervening genes. We used CRISPR technology to excise the entire cluster while introducing a PhiC31 re-integration site to reinsert constructs in which different combinations of the constituent Obp genes were either intact or rendered inactive. We performed whole transcriptome sequencing and assessed sexually dimorphic changes in transcript abundances (“transcriptional niches”) associated with each gene-edited genotype. Using this approach, we were able to estimate redundancy, additivity, diversification, and epistasis among Obp50 paralogs. We analyzed the effects of gene editing of this cluster on organismal phenotypes and found a significant skewing of sex ratios attributable to Obp50a, and sex-specific effects on starvation stress resistance attributable to Obp50d. Thus there is functional diversification within the Obp50 cluster with Obp50a contributing to development and Obp50d to stress resistance. The deletion-reinsertion approach we applied to the Obp50 cluster provides a general paradigm for the genetic dissection of paralogs of multigene families.
