Project description:The sensation of light is initiated in photoreceptor cells by the photoisomerization of a chromophore molecule from 11-cis to all-trans retinal. Continuous visual perception requires recycling of the spent chromophore back to the 11-cis form through the visual cycle, a series of reactions in the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). Light-driven chromophore consumption by photoreceptors is greater in daytime compared to night time, suggesting that correspondingly higher activity of the visual cycle may be required. On the other hand, as rod photoreceptors are saturated in bright light, the continuous turnover of their chromophore through the visual cycle during daytime would unnecessarily utilize precious energy and produce toxic byproducts. Here, we sought to determine whether the recycling of chromophore and the dark adaptation of rods is regulated by the circadian clock and light exposure. We demonstrate that in melatonin-proficient C3H/f+/+ mice, rod dark adaptation is slower during the day or after light exposure. This surprising daytime downregulation of the RPE visual cycle was further demonstrated by gene analysis, which revealed light-driven reduction in the expression of Rpe65, which encodes a key enzyme of the RPE visual cycle. In contrast, rods in melatonin-deficient strains (C57BL6/J and 129/Sv) were not affected by this daily visual cycle modulation. Our results demonstrate that the circadian clock and light exposure regulate the recycling of chromophore in the RPE visual cycle. This daily modulation of rod dark adaptation is mediated by melatonin and could potentially protect the retina from light-induced damage during the day.

Project description:Using larval zebrafish as a model system, we applied a genome-wide transcriptome approach that allowed us to investigate circadian gene expression that can be associated with various tissues and cell types. Our analysis of circadian gene regulatory network revealed a general principle: circadian clock controls diverse aspects of circadian physiology through transcriptional cascade of transcription factors (TFs). As a proof of this principle, we focused on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor a (mitfa), a dark-induced TF controlling melanogenesis in melanocytes. We demonstrated experimentally that there is a circadian rhythm of melanin synthesis mediated by mitfa. The circadian rhythm of mitfa is in turn driven by both endogenous clock and external light/dark cycle. The circadian rhythm of melanin synthesis may play an important role in zebrafish’s adaptation to daily cycle of lighting condition in the environment.

Project description:Pigment regeneration is critical for the function of cone photoreceptors in bright and rapidly-changing light conditions. This process is facilitated by the recently-characterized retina visual cycle, in which Müller cells recycle spent all-trans-retinol visual chromophore back to 11-cis-retinol. This 11-cis-retinol is oxidized selectively in cones to the 11-cis-retinal used for pigment regeneration. However, the enzyme responsible for the oxidation of 11-cis-retinol remains unknown. Here, we sought to determine whether retinol dehydrogenase 10 (RDH10), upregulated in rod/cone hybrid retinas and expressed abundantly in Müller cells, is the enzyme that drives this reaction. We created mice lacking RDH10 either in cone photoreceptors, Müller cells, or the entire retina. In vivo electroretinography and transretinal recordings revealed normal cone photoresponses in all RDH10-deficient mouse lines. Notably, their cone-driven dark adaptation both in vivo and in isolated retina was unaffected, indicating that RDH10 is not required for the function of the retina visual cycle. We also generated transgenic mice expressing RDH10 ectopically in rod cells. However, rod dark adaptation was unaffected by the expression of RDH10 and transgenic rods were unable to use cis-retinol for pigment regeneration. We conclude that RDH10 is not the dominant retina 11-cis-RDH, leaving its primary function in the retina unknown.

Project description:Circadian clocks drive ~24 hr rhythms in tissue physiology. They rely on transcriptional/translational feedback loops driven by interacting networks of clock complexes.To gain insights into the role of the mammary clock, circadian time-series microarrays were performed to identify rhythmic genes in vivo. Breast tissues were isolated at 4 hr intervals for two circadian (24 hourly) cycles, from mice kept under constant darkness to avoid any light- or dark-driven genes.

Project description:We utilized the Nematostella vectensis to quantify gene expression differences and loss during light:dark cycling and immediately after light cue removal through comparisons of 136 transcriptomes Organismal responses to light:dark cycles can result from two general processes: (i) direct response to light or (ii) a free-running rhythm (i.e., a circadian clock). Previous research in cnidarians has shown that candidate circadian clock genes have rhythmic expression in the presence of diel lighting, but these oscillations appear to be lost quickly after removal of the light cue. Here, we measure whole-organism gene expression changes in 136 transcriptomes of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, entrained to a light:dark environment and immediately following light cue removal to distinguish two broadly defined responses in cnidarians: light entrainment and circadian regulation. Direct light exposure resulted in significant differences in expression for hundreds of genes, including more than 200 genes with rhythmic, 24-hour periodicity. Removal of the lighting cue resulted in the loss of significant expression for 80% of these genes after one day, including most of the hypothesized cnidarian circadian genes. Further, 70% of these candidate genes were phase shifted. Most surprisingly, thousands of genes, some of which are involved in oxidative stress, DNA damage response, and chromatin modification, had significant differences in expression in the 24 hours following light removal, suggesting that loss of the entraining cue may induce a cellular stress response. Together, our findings suggest that a majority of genes with significant differences in expression for anemones cultured under diel lighting are largely driven by the primary photoresponse rather than a circadian clock when measured at the whole animal level. These results provide context for the evolution of cnidarian circadian biology and help to disassociate two commonly confounded factors driving oscillating phenotypes.

Abstract:
Rod and cone photoreceptors support vision across large
light intensity ranges. Rods, active under dim illumination,
are thought to saturate at higher (photopic) irradiances. The
extent of rod saturation is not well defined; some studies
report rod activity well into the photopic range. Using
electrophysiological recordings from retina and dorsal lateral
geniculate nucleus of cone-deficient and visually intact mice,
we describe stimulus and physiological factors that influence
photopic rod-driven responses. We find that rod contrast
sensitivity is initially strongly reduced at high irradiances,
but progressively recovers to allow responses to moderate
contrast stimuli. Surprisingly, rods recover faster at higher
light levels. A model of rod phototransduction suggests that
phototransduction gain adjustments and bleaching adaptation
underlie rod recovery. Consistently, exogenous chromophore
reduces rod responses at bright background. Thus, bleaching
adaptation renders mouse rods responsive to modest contrast at
any irradiance. Paradoxically, raising irradiance across the
photopic range increases the robustness of rod responses.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:Anopheles gambiae, the primary African malarial mosquito, exhibits numerous behaviors that are under diel and circadian control, including locomotor activity, swarming, mating, host seeking, eclosion, egg laying and sugar feeding. However, little has been performed to elucidate the molecular basis for these daily rhythms. To study how gene expression is globally regulated by diel and circadian mechanisms, we have undertaken a DNA microarray analysis of A. gambiae head and bodies under 12:12 light:dark cycle (LD) and constant dark (DD, free-running) conditions. Zeitgeber Time (ZT) with ZT12 defined as time of lights OFF under the light:dark cycle, and ZT0 defined as end of the dawn transition. Circadian Time (CT) with CT0 defined as subjective dawn, inferred from ZT0 of the previous light:dark cycle.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons make up a large fraction of the typical mammalian genome. They comprise about 8% of the human genome and approximately 10% of the mouse genome. On account of their abundance, LTR retrotransposons are believed to hold major significance for genome structure and function. Recent advances in genome sequencing of a variety of model organisms has provided an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate better the diversity of LTR retrotransposons resident in eukaryotic genomes. RESULTS: Using a new data-mining program, LTR_STRUC, in conjunction with conventional techniques, we have mined the GenBank mouse (Mus musculus) database and the more complete Ensembl mouse dataset for LTR retrotransposons. We report here that the M. musculus genome contains at least 21 separate families of LTR retrotransposons; 13 of these families are described here for the first time. CONCLUSIONS: All families of mouse LTR retrotransposons are members of the gypsy-like superfamily of retroviral-like elements. Several different families of unrelated non-autonomous elements were identified, suggesting that the evolution of non-autonomy may be a common event. High sequence similarity between several LTR retrotransposons identified in this study and those found in distantly-related species suggests that horizontal transfer has been a significant factor in the evolution of mouse LTR retrotransposons.
