Project description:Assessment of the seminal fluid proteins of Drosophila mojavensis and Drosophila arizonae. Experiment was performed using SILAC, whereas D. arizonae males were labeled with L-lysine-2HCL, 4,4,5,5-D4 (Lys 4) and D. mojavensis males labeled with L-Lysine-13C6,15N2 (Lys 8) and mated to their respective conspecific females (unlabeled). Following copulation females were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until reproductive tracts were removed and placed in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate.

Project description:We utilized three ecologically diverse Drosophila species to explore the influence of ecological adaptation on transcriptomic responses to isocaloric diets differing in their relative proportions of protein to sugar. Drosophila melanogaster, a cosmopolitan species that breeds in decaying fruit, exemplifies individuals long exposed to a Western diet higher in sugar, while the natural diet of the cactophilic D. mojavensis, is much lower in carbohydrates. Drosophila arizonae, the sister species of D. mojavensis, is largely cactophilic, but also utilizes rotting fruits that are higher in sugars than cacti. We exposed third instar larvae for 24 hours to diets either (1) high in protein relative to sugar, (2) diets with equal amounts of protein and sugar, and (3) diets low in protein but high in sugar. As we predicted, based upon earlier interspecific studies of development and metabolism, the most extreme differences in gene expression under different dietary conditions were found in D. mojavensis followed by D. arizonae. No differential expression among diets was observed for D. melanogaster, a species that survives well under all three conditions, with little impact on its metabolism. We suggest that these three species together provide a model to examine individual and population differences in vulnerability to lifestyle-associated health problems such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

Project description:In internally fertilizing organisms, mating involves a series of highly coordinated molecular interactions between the sexes that occur within the female reproductive tract. In species with promiscuous mating systems, traits involved in postcopulatory interactions are expected to evolve rapidly, potentially leading to postmating-prezygotic (PMPZ) reproductive isolation between diverging populations. Here, we use a novel study design to investigate the postmating transcriptional response of Drosophila mojavensis female reproductive tracts following copulation with either conspecific or heterospecific (D. arizonae) males at three time points postmating. Relatively few genes (15 total) were transcriptionally regulated in the female lower reproductive tract in response to conspecific mating. Heterospecifically-mated females exhibited significant perturbations in the expression of the majority of these genes, and also downregulated transcription of a number of others, including several involved in mitochondrial function. These striking regulatory differences indicate failed postcopulatory molecular interactions between the sexes consistent with the strong PMPZ isolation observed for this cross. We also report, for the first time, the transfer of male mRNA transcripts to females during copulation. These included transcripts from male accessory-gland proteins (ACPs), a finding with potentially broad implications for understanding postcopulatory molecular interactions between the sexes. Dataset from Postmating transcriptional changes in reproductive tracts of con- and heterospecifically-mated Drosophila mojavensis females Bono, JM, Matzkin,LM, Kelleher, ES, and Markow, MA, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA. The treatments were con- and heterospecific mated D. mojavensis females. Three different post-copulation times points were assayed, 15 minutes, 2 hours and 6 hours. For each time point there were two independent replicates. Additionally, two replicates of a virgin D. mojavensis female control were assayed. A total of 14 arrays. All RNA extractions were from the lower reproductive tract of females.

Project description:Species of the genus Drosophila have served as favorite models in speciation studies, however genetic factors of the interspecific hybrid sterility are underinvestigated to date. Here we performed the analysis of reproductive incompatibilities of hybrid females in crossing Drosophila melanogaster females and Drosophila simulans males. Using transcriptomic data analysis, molecular, cellular and genetic approaches we analyzed differential gene expression, transposable element (TE) activity, piRNA biogenesis and functional defects of oogenesis in hybrids. A premature GSC loss was a most prominent defect of oogenesis in hybrid ovaries. Owing differential expression of genes encoding components of the piRNA pathway rhino and deadlock, functional RDCmel complex in hybrid ovaries was not assembled. At the same time the activity of RDCsim complex was maintained in hybrids, independently from the genomic origin of piRNA clusters. Despite identification of a cohort of overexpressed TEs in hybrid ovaries we found no evidences that their activity can be considered as the main cause of hybrid sterility. We revealed complex pattern of Vasa protein expression in hybrid germline, including partial AT-chX piRNA targeting of vasasim allele and significant developmental delay of vasamel expression. We came to the conclusions that complex multi-locus genetic changes between the species were responsible for hybrid sterility phenotype.
