Project description:Shells of pearl oyster are natural biominerals with remarkable properties and can be repaired after damage, which are regulated by biomacromolcules especially shell matrix proteins (SMPs). Identifying SMPs is critical for further understanding the process. Although proteomic methods have been used to reveal the complex protein mixture in mature shells, the proteomics of repaired shells after shell damage have not been reported before. Here, we studied the SMPs of the repaired shells (prismatic layers) 5-10 days after shell damage in Pinctada fucata by integrating transcriptomics and proteomics and compared the microstructure difference between repaired and mature shells. Although the repaired shells are calcite, similar to mature shells, the microstructure of repaired shells has holes in the center of prisms with irregular and curved edges. In total, we found 49 SMPs from the repaired shells including some proteins only existing in mature nacreous layers. Peroxidase-like protein and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase may be important players in repaired shells. In addition, they have the capability to affect CaCO3 crystallization process in vitro, altering the packing and reducing the crystallinity of crystals. This study could improve our understanding of shell repair process and lay the foundation for studying SMPs-controlled biomineralization.

Project description:Hox and ParaHox genes encode transcription factors with conserved similar expression patterns in divergent animals. The Pdx (Xlox) homeobox gene, for example, is expressed in a sharp spatial domain in the endodermal cell layer of the gut in chordates, echinoderms, annelids and molluscs. The significance of comparable gene expression patterns is unclear because it is not known if downstream transcriptional targets are also conserved. We thus conducted experiments to show that a classic transcriptional target of Pdx1 in vertebrates, the insulin gene, is also a direct target of Pdx in the Pacific oyster. We report that oyster has a diversity of insulin-related genes including one co-expressed with Pdx in the endodermal layer of oyster digestive tissue. Transcriptome analysis reveals functional similarity of this tissue to vertebrate pancreas. Using ATAC-seq we identify a Pdx homeodomain binding site upstream of the endodermally-expressed oyster insulin-related gene and using cell culture demonstrate that oyster Pdx acts as a transcriptional activator through this site. These data argue that a classic homeodomain-target gene interaction dates back to the base of Bilateria.

Project description:Acidification of seawater due to anthropogenic CO2, called as ocean acidification (OA), makes most coastal environments unfavorable for oysters. This is a serious socio-economical issue for China which is accounting for >70% of the world’s edible oyster supply. Understanding of OA effects at proteome level could lead to a better aquaculture management. Here, we present an iTRAQ based protein profiling analysis for the detection and quantification of proteome change under OA in one of the early life stages of a commercially important oyster species, Crassostrea hongkongensis. The completion of the genome sequence for oysters enabled us to confidently quantify over 1500 proteins in the larval oyster. Over 10% of proteome was altered in response to OA process at pH 7.6. Analysis of differentially expressed proteins and their associated pathways indicated that up-regulation of calcification, metabolic processes, cytoskeletal functions, oxidative stress and cell signaling processes might have been used by larvae to acclimate under OA. Although the expressions of cytoskeletal and signal transduction proteins were down-regulated in response to OA, there was no marked alternation in developmental processes such as metamorphic success. This study suggests that the estuarine edible oyster possess an adequate short-term adaptability or acclimation mechanism at proteome level to tolerate near-future OA scenario.

Project description:The systematic deep sequencing analysis provided a comprehensive understanding of the transcriptome complexity of 2n and 3n Fujian oyster. This information broadens our understanding of the mechanisms of C.angulata polyploidization and contributes to molecular and genetic research by enriching the oyster database. This is the first report on genome-wide transcriptional analysis of adductor muscle of diploid and triploid Fujian oyster and has demonstrated triploid oysters are morphologically almost identical to their diploid counterparts, but have faster growth, due to the reorientation of energetic allocation from gametogenesis to somatic investment. This study provides a foundation for further analysis of the gene expression patterns and signaling pathways which regulate the molecular mechanisms of diploid and triploid oyster.

Project description:Thermal exposure of sessile marine animals inhabiting estuarine intertidal regions is a matter of serious concern. The Hong Kong oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis is one of the dominant sessile inhabitants of marine intertidal region which undergoes large seasonal temperature fluctuations every year. The oyster has developed several adaptation mechanisms to cope with acute thermal stress. However, the genetic basis of these mechanisms remain largely unclear. To better understand how acute thermal exposure affects the biology of the oyster, two cDNA libraries obtained from the gill of oysters exposed to thermal stress and ambient temperature were sequenced using the Digital Gene Expression (DGE) tag profiling strategy. In total, 5.9 and 6.2 million reads were obtained for thermal stress and control libraries respectively, with approximately 74.25% and 75.02 % of the reads mapping to the C. hongkongensis reference sequence. A total of 605 differentially expressed transcripts could be detected in the thermal stress group as compared to the control group, of which 378 are up-regulated and 227 are down-regulated. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated that these Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) were enriched with a broad spectrum of biological processes and pathways, including those associated with chaperones, antioxidants, immunity, apoptosis and cytoskeletal reorganization. Among these significantly enriched pathways, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum was the most affected metabolic pathway, which plays an important role in the unfolded protein response (UPR) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) processes. Our results demonstrate the complex multi-modal cellular response to thermal stress in C. hongkongensis.

Project description:The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is a kind of marine bivalve of great economic and ecological importance and is among the animals possessing the highest level of genome DNA variations. Despite large efforts made for the discovery of Pacific oyster SNPs in many research groups, challenge still remains as how to utilize SNPs in a high-throughput, transferable and economical manner. In the study, we constructed an oyster 190K SNP array with Affymetrix Axiom genotyping technology. A total of 190,420 SNPs were designed on the chip, which were selected from 54 M SNPs identified by re-sequencing of more than 400 Pacific oysters. Genotyping results from 96 wild oysters indicated that 133,984 (70.4%) SNPs were polymorphic and successfully converted on the chip. Carrying 133K polymorphic SNPs, the oyster 190K SNP array is the first high density SNP chip with the largest throughput currently in mollusc and is commercially available to the worldwide research community.
