Dynamics of venom composition across a complex life cycle

ABSTRACT: Nematostella vectensis is a venomous organism with a complex life cycle. We harness different approaches to study venom composition dynamics along its life cycle. Our methods include but not limited to transcriptomica and proteomics. Here we perform semi quantitative analysis of Nematostella proteom at 4 developmental stages to compare abundance of different toxins.

Little is known about venom in young developmental stages of animals. The appearance of toxins and stinging cells during early embryonic stages in the sea anemone <i>Nematostella vectensis</i> suggests that venom is already expressed in eggs and larvae of this species. Here, we harness transcriptomic, biochemical and transgenic tools to study venom production dynamics in <i>Nematostella</i>. We find that venom composition and arsenal of toxin-producing cells change dramatically between developme ...[more]

Biased gene expression in early honeybee larval development (microarray)

Project description:Female larvae of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) develop into either queens or workers depending on nutrition during larval development. This nutritional stimulus triggers different developmental trajectories, resulting in adults that differ in physiology, behaviour and life-span. To understand how these developmental trajectories are established we have undertaken a comprehensive analysis of differential gene expression throughout larval development. Gene expression of honeybee queen and worker larval samples was analysed at seven time points during larval development (6 hr, 12 hr, 36 hr, 60 hr, 84 hr, 108 hr and 132 hr)

Evolutionary conservation of the eumetazoan gene regulatory landscape

Project description:Bilaterian animals differ from other metazoans in their apparent bilateral symmetry and the development of a third germ layer. Both might have facilitated the evolution of the diverse and complex bilaterian body plans. The first cnidarian genome sequence revealed that despite their morphological simplicity, this sister group to all bilaterians shares an immense genomic complexity with vertebrates. This suggested that it might have been the complexity of gene regulation which increased during the evolution of bilaterians. We compared the gene regulatory landscape of cnidarians and bilaterians. To this end we generated the first genome-wide prediction of gene regulatory elements and profiled five epigenetic marks in a non-bilaterian animal, the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis. We found that the location of chromatin modifications relative to genes and distal enhancers is conserved among eumetazoans. Surprisingly, the genomic landscape of gene regulatory elements is highly similar between Nematostella and bilaterian model organisms. This suggests that complex regulation of developmental gene expression evolved in eumetazoans without a major increase in complexity in bilaterians.

RNA-seq of total royal jelly and MRJP-3-bound RNA

Project description:MRJP-3 is an RNA binding protein that binds both double- and single-stranded RNA in vitro. To test whether i) MRJP-3 binds RNA in its natural environment, the royal jelly (RJ) and ii) to characterize its RJ RNA partners; a pull down followed by RNA-seq system was developed. MRJP-3 bound RNA was compared to total RJ RNA extracted from the same hive. To establish the system, we first incubated biotinylated MRJP-3, or biotinylated BSA in RJ and pulled the proteins out with strepavidin coated magnetic beads followed by RNA extraction and bioanalyzer profiling. MRJP-3 pull out was enriched for RNA compare to the BSA and just beads controls. The RNA population pulled down with MRJP-3 has similar profile to the total RJ RNA, further demonstrating the MRJP-3 has no affinity to a certain RNA species.

Venom tradeoff shapes interspecific interactions, physiology and reproduction

Project description:An animal’s ability to effectively capture prey and defend against predators is pivotal to its survival1. A key innovation in many predator-prey interactions is venom, which consists of many toxin proteins that shape its phenotype2. Its unusually direct relationship of gene-toxin-phenotype make it an appealing system for studies at the organismal level 3,4. In this work we use the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis as a model organism as it provides us with the opportunity to test for the first time how toxin-genotypes impact predator-prey interactions. Specifically, we compare a native-population5 and a transgenic line which both have significantly reduced levels of Nv1, the major toxin in adult Nematostella6, to animals with wildtype levels of Nv1. We demonstrate that the transgenic strain phenocopies native anemones lacking Nv1 as they both have impaired ability to defend themselves against grass shrimp, a native predator. Mummichog killifish, unexpectedly are attracted to Nematostella with wildtype-levels of Nv1, highlighting that Nv1 plays a complex role in shaping interspecific-interactions. Finally, we demonstrate an evolutionary tradeoff as the reduction of Nv1 levels causes faster growth and increased reproductive rates compared to Nematostella control lines. Overall, our results experimentally link organism’s venom to its physiology, reproduction and interspecific interactions.
