Illustrating the Evolution of Toxins within Cnidarian

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to illustrate the breadth of venom evolution in cnidarians and to determine if venom toxins have been co-opted and modified for parasitic lifestyles. Samples representing cnidarian taxa with entirely parasitic life cycles (myxozoans), entirely free-living life cycles, and a life cycle containing both parasitic and free-living stages (P. hydriforme). were obtained for analysis, which comprised of comparative transcriptomics, proteomics and the use of a custom bioinformatics pipeline developed to screen and identify toxins within these datasets.

Transcriptomic profiles of wild brown trout chronically exposed to metals using RNA-seq in a Illumina GAII platform

Project description:To investigate mechanisms of metal tolerance in the gill, gut, kidney and liver of brown trout inhabiting the river Hayle (highly metal contaminated) compared with a control population from the river Teign. mRNA samples were sequenced (Illumina GAII) from a pooled embryonic sample and 12 multiplexed samples of different tissues from the the Hayle and Teign populations (pooled from 5 and 10 individuals respectively) and used to generate a transcriptome assembly. Expression profiling was then conducted for the gill, gut, kidney and liver samples. Expression profiling results are presented in this Series.

Dynamics of venom composition across a complex life cycle

Project description: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.

RNA-seq of the Octopus vulgaris nervous system.

Project description:Three adult individuals of the Octopus vulgaris were collected from the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy). For each animal, total RNA was isolated from the supra- (SEM), sub- (SUB) esophageal masses, optic lobes (OL) and the arms (ARM). The RNA-sequencing has been performed using Illumina technology.

Transcription profiling of Strongyloides ratti free-living males and females and parastic and free-living females

Project description:This experiment exploits the life-cycle of Strongyloides ratti, which is a parasitic nematode of brown rats that exhibits three adult stages within its life-cycle - parasitic females, freeliving females and free-living males. We use a cDNA microarray to examine patterns of (i) gender-biased gene expression by contrasting free-living females against free-living males, and (ii) parasitic-biased expression by contrasting parasitic females against free-living females. Of the 3688 distinct transcripts represented on our array, 20% exhibited male-biased expression 19% exhibit female-biased expression, 11% exhibit parasitic-biased expression and 8% exhibit free-living-biased expression. Among the top responding genes, an orthologue of major sperm protein is upregulated in males, distinct aspartic protease orthologues are upregulated in either parasitic or in free-living females, and orthologues of hsp-17 chaperone are upregulated in parasitic females. Upon a global analysis of gene expression, we find that female-biased expression is associated with genes involved in reproductive processes and larval development, that male-biased expression is associated with genes involved in metabolism, and that free-living biased expression is associated with genes involved in regulation of body fluids and response to external stimulus. The association of gene ontology with parasite-biased expression is less clear. Our results provide an initial gene expression analysis of gender- and parasite-biased expression in S. ratti, may be more generally applicable to other parasitic nematodes, and may help to refine the search for novel drug or vaccine targets against parasitic nematodes.

Saddleback caterpillar venom proteomics

Project description:Limacodidae is a family of lepidopteran insects comprising more than 1,500 species, over half of which produce pain-inducing defensive venom components in the larval stage, but little is known about their venom. Recently, we characterised proteinaceous toxins from the Australian limacodid caterpillar Doratifera vulnerans, but it is unknown if the venom of this species is typical of other Limacodidae. Here, we use single animal transcriptomics and venom proteomics to investigate the venom of an iconic limacodid, the North American saddleback caterpillar Acharia stimulea. We identified 65 confirmed venom polypeptides, grouped into 31 different families. Neurohormones, knottins, and homologues of the immune signaller Diedel make up the majority of A. stimulea venom, indicating strong similarities to D. vulnerans venom, despite their geographic separation. One notable difference is the presence of RF-amide peptide toxins in A. stimulea venom. Synthetic versions of these RF-amide toxins displayed potent activation of the human neuropeptide FF1 receptor, insecticidal activity when injected into Drosophila melanogaster, and moderate ability to inhibit the larval development of the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus. This study provides insights into venom evolution and toxin activity in Limacodidae, and will allow the synthetic production of A. stimulea peptide toxins towards functional and structural characterisation.

Transcription profiling of dwarf and normal Coregonus whitefishes at different life history stages

Project description:The gene expression analysis for this study focuses on the divergence at different life history stages of dwarf and normal whitefish. Eight pairwise (dwarf vs. normal) comparisons for both the embryonic and the juvenile fish stage were performed resulting in two sets of eight microarrays per stage. Pools containing the total RNA of five embryos were used for the embryo experiments. This pooling approach integrates patterns of gene expression over a larger number of individuals but would nevertheless reveal differences between group means as tested for in an analysis of variance. Juvenile fish extractions yielded large quantities of total RNA and were used individually. The same representation of experimental groups was used in both the embryo and juvenile fish experiments. In order to reduce artefacts samples that are similar with respect to developmental features (segment count) were used in the embryos. The sampling of juvenile fish is less difficult as they have finished their morphogenesis. Their ontogeny is also slower and probably reduced to relatively constant growth processes. Juvenile fishes were chosen to represent a similar body mass range

Blood plasma proteomic profiles of pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha Walbaum, 1792 during spawning migration

Project description:The pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) is a commercial anadromous fish species of the family Salmonidae. The species has a peculiar life cycle that includes spawning migration from marine to freshwater environments, which is accompanied by significant adaptive changes in the body, both the physiological and biochemical. This study described and revealed the variability of blood plasma proteomes of female and male pink salmon collected from three different biotopes - marine, estuarine and riverine - that the fish pass through spawning migration. Identification and comparative analysis of pink salmon blood plasma protein profiles were performed using proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. Blood proteomes of female and male spawners collected from different biotopes were qualitatively and quantitatively distinguished. Females differed primarily by proteins associated with reproductive system development (certain vitellogenin and choriogenin), lipid transport (fatty acid binding protein) and energy production (fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase), and males - by proteins involved in blood coagulation (fibrinogen), immune response (lectins) and reproductive processes (vitellogenin). Differentially expressed sex-specific proteins were implicated in proteolysis (aminopeptidases), platelet activation (β- and γ-chain fibrinogen), cell growth and differentiation (a protein containing the TGF_BETA_2 domain) and lipid transport processes (vitellogenin and apolipoprotein). The results obtained are of fundamental and practical importance, providing to the existing knowledge of biochemical adaptations to spawning of pink salmon, representative of the economically important migratory fish species.
