The Daphnia cuticle proteome - partial cuticle samples

ABSTRACT: The cuticles of arthropods, including aquatic crustaceans like Daphnia, provide an interface between the organism and its environment. Thus, the cuticle’s structure influences how the organism responds to and interacts with its surroundings. Here, we used label-free quantification proteomics to provide a proteome of the molted cuticle of Daphnia magna, which has long been a prominent subject of studies on ecology, evolution, and developmental biology, anddetected 278 high confidence proteins. Using protein sequence domain and functional enrichment analyses, we identified chitin-binding structural proteins and chitin modifying enzymes as most abundant protein groups in the cuticle proteome.Structural cuticular protein families showed a similar distribution to those found in other arthropods and indicated proteins responsible for the soft and flexible structure of the Daphnia cuticle . Finally, cuticle protein genes were clustered as tandem gene arrays in the Daphnia genome, indicating their importance for adaptation to environmental change. The cuticle proteome presented here will be a valuable resource to the Daphnia research community, informing investigations on diverse topics such as the genetic basis of interactions with predators and parasites.

E-mail: staceyg@missouri.edu; Abstract: Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, is found in fungal cell walls, but not in plants. Plant cells are capable of perceiving chitin fragments (chitooligosaccharides) to trigger various defense responses. We identified a LysM receptor-like protein (AtLysM RLK1) that is required for the perception of chitooligosaccharides in Arabidopsis. Mutation of this gene blocked the induction of almost all chitooligosaccharide-responsive genes (CRGs) and led to more susceptibility to fungal pathogens, but not to a bacterial pathogen. In addition, exogenously applied chitooligosaccharides enhanced resistance against both fungal and bacterial pathogens in the wild-type plants, but not in the mutant. Together, our data strongly suggest AtLysM RLK1 is the chitin receptor or a key part of the receptor complex and chitin is a PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular pattern) in fungi recognized by the receptor leading to the induction of plant innate immunity against fungal pathogens. Since LysM RLKs were also recently shown to be critical for the perception of the rhizobial lipo-chitin Nod signals, our data suggest that LysM RLKs not just recognize friendly symbiotic rhizobia (via their lipo-chitin Nod signals), but also hostile fungal pathogens (via their cell wall chitin). These data suggest a possible evolutionary relationship between the perception mechanisms of Nod signals and chitin by plants. Experiment Overall Design: wild type Col-0 and chitin receptor mutants treated with or without chitooctaose

Project description:The US Department of Defense (DOD) is developing insensitive munitions (IMs) that are resistant to unintended detonation to protect warfighters. To enable evaluation of the material life-cycle for the IM, 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitroguanidine (MeNQ), ecotoxicological impacts assessment was required. A previous investigation of MeNQ exposures in Daphnia pulex revealed concentration-responsive decreases in reproduction relative to controls (0 mg/L) across a 174, 346, 709, 1385, and 2286 mg/L exposure range. The present study used those exposures to conduct global transcriptomic expression analyses to establish hypothetical mechanisms underlying inhibited reproduction. Changes in transcript expression tended to increase with increasing MeNQ concentration where hierarchical clustering analysis identified separation among the “low” (174 and 346 mg/L) and “high” (709, 1385, and 2286 mg/L) exposures. The MeNQ exposures significantly decreased transcriptional expression for a vitellogenin precursor and juvenile hormone-inducible protein, each having plausible mechanistic connections to impaired reproductive physiology and reduced offspring production in Daphnia. Further, MeNQ affected chorion peroxidase and high choriolytic enzyme transcriptional expression which are known to influence egg production / maturation processes in arthropods. Additionally, MeNQ exposure caused dose-responsive decreases in transcriptional expression for a diverse set of cuticle proteins which requires closer examination regarding Daphnia embryo development and brood release. Finally, canonical-pathway enrichment analysis identified significant effects on a broad array of energy metabolic processes in D. pulex which require consideration regarding potential shifts in homeostatic equilibrium that can have indirect costs on reproduction. Overall, plausible mechanisms of inhibited D. pulex reproduction have been identified and should be tested in targeted bioassays. see previous row.
