Project description:The biological samples analyzed in this study were honey samples from the bumblebee B. terrestris. Commercially available Tripol hives used for pollination consist of three complete bumblebee colonies (Koppert Biological Systems). Four Tripol hives (12 colonies overall) were placed in the Crop Research Institute (Prague-Ruzyne, Czechia) at the time of rapeseed Brassica napus and apple tree flowering. Honey stores were manually collected into 50-mL sterile centrifuge tubes. Honey samples per colony were pooled. These 12 honey samples were analyzed using label-free nano-LC-MS/MS.
In addition, 3 bands excised from 1D-E SDS-PAGE were analyzed using nano-LC-MS/MS. Note that modification for analysis the bands was carbamidomethyl instead of MethylThio.
Combined.txt and used databases are provided.

Project description:Enabled by recently available genomic resources for bumblebees, nano LC-MS/MS based proteomics was conducted to characterise the queen haemolymph proteome. The resulting mass spectrometry data were also utilised in a proteogenomic capacity to identify proteins missing from official gene sets and to improve gene models and annotation. 97 multiple-peptide supported proteins within queen bumblebee haemolymph were identified including 28 immunity-related proteins with roles in immune recognition, signalling and regulation. In addition 19 proteins with potential immune roles were identified. The haemolymph proteome is particularly rich in metabolism and transport proteins and comprised 18 proteins with unknown function.

Project description:Our aims in this study were: 1) to identify the miRNAs of the bumble bees Bombus terrestris and B. impatiens; 2) to compare the total numbers of miRNAs between both bumble bee species and between them and the honey bee, Apis mellifera; and 3) to test whether the sequences and expression patterns of miRNAs were conserved between species. To investigate each of these aims we used miRNA-seq (deep sequencing of miRNA-enriched libraries) in B. terrestris, and bioinformatics prediction programs to identify miRNAs in both Bombus species. We identified 131 miRNAs in B. terrestris, and 114 in B. impatiens; of these, 17 were new miRNAs that had not previously been sequenced in any species. We found a striking level of difference in the miRNAs present between Bombus and A. mellifera, with 103 miRNAs in A. mellifera not being present in the genomes of the two bumble bees.

Project description:During the nest-founding phase of the bumble bee colony cycle, queens undergo striking changes in maternal care behavior. Early in the founding phase, prior to the emergence of workers in the nest, queens are reproductive and also provision and feed their offspring. However, later in the founding phase, queens cease feeding offspring and become specialized on reproduction. This transition is synchronized with the emergence of workers in the colony, who assume the task of feeding their siblings. Using a social manipulation experiment, we tested the hypothesis that workers socially regulate the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in nest-founding bumble bee queens. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that early-stage queens with workers prematurely added to their nests reduce their brood-feeding behavior and increase egg-laying, and likewise, late-stage queens increase their brood-feeding behavior and decrease egg-laying when workers are removed from their nests. Further, brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior were negatively correlated in these queens. We used an Agilent brain EST-based microarray to explore a second hypothesis, that workers alter brain gene expression in nest-founding queens. We found evidence that brain gene expression in nest-founding queens is altered by the presence of workers, with the effect much stronger in late-stage founding queens. Additionally, expression levels of some genes were correlated with quantitative differences in brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior. This study provides new insights into how the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in bumble bee queens is regulated during the nest initiation phase of the colony cycle.

Project description:Pollinators are of crucial importance for maintaining biodiversity in ecosystems and for agriculture, including the Buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris. The health decline in these populations is thought to be linked to various abiotic and biotic stressors. In the hope of protecting these populations, deciphering their immune response in stress conditions represent a critical issue. To assess this metric, we analysed the bumblebee hemolymph, as a readout of the immune status. Here, we show in laboratory conditions that bacterial infections with two entomopathogenic strains and a well-recognised inducer of defence reactions in insects, impact the systemic immune response. Analysis of the hemolymph was carried out using a two-stage approach of mass spectrometry that combines MALDI molecular mass fingerprinting (MALDI MFP or MALDI-BeeTyping®) for its effectiveness in assessing the immune status of the bumblebee through a basic “blood” test and LC-ESI-MS/MS to measure the impact of our infectious models on the “haemoproteome”. By carrying out three different types of bacterial infections, we found that the bumblebee reacts in a specific way to bacterial attacks. Indeed, bacteria impact mortality and stimulate an immune response in infected individuals that is visible through changes in the molecular composition of their hemolymph. The characterisation and label-free quantification of proteins involved in specific signalling pathways in bumblebees by LC-ESI-MS/MS revealed differences in the protein expression between the non-experimentally infected and the infected bumblebees. Our results highlights differences in the molecular composition of their hemolymph to distinguish these different infections from non-experimentally infected bumblebees, and an alteration of pathways involved in (i) immunity and defences, (ii) the metabolism of carbohydrates (glycolysis), (iii) oxidative stress and (iv) amino acid biosynthesis. To conclude, we established bioinformatics models based on molecular markers reflecting the health status of these pollinators to enable diagnosis/prognosis at the population level in response to environmental stress.
