Analysis of midgut composition of Lamypris noctiluca larvae

ABSTRACT: Firefly larvae are highly specialized predators of snails, which utilize midgut secretions to incapacitate and pre-digest their much larger prey. With the current analysis we aim to shed light on the composition of the midgut secretion of these larvae utilizing a proteo-transcriptomic approach.

How to Overcome a Snail? Identification of Putative Neurotoxins of Snail-Feeding Firefly Larvae (Coleoptera: Lampyridae, <i>Lampyris noctiluca</i>).

The larvae of some lampyrid beetles are highly specialized predators of snails. They have been observed to climb on the shells of their prey and use this exposed position to bite and inject secretions potentially originating from the midgut. Besides serving the purpose of extra-oral digestion (EOD), injected compounds also seem to have a paralyzing effect. Up to now, the toxins causing this paralyzing activity have not been identified. In the current study, we provide a first compositional analy ...[more]

Ribosome profiling upon glucose starvation in S. cerevisiae

Project description:A universal feature of the response to stress and nutrient limitation is transcriptional upregulation of genes encoding proteins important for survival. Interestingly, under many of these conditions overall protein synthesis levels are reduced, thereby dampening the stress response at the level of protein expression. For example, during glucose starvation in yeast, translation is rapidly and reversibly repressed, yet transcription of many stress- and glucose-repressed genes is increased. Using ribosome profiling and microscopy, we found that this transcriptionally upregulated gene set consists of two classes: (1) one producing mRNAs that are preferentially translated during glucose limitation and are diffusely localized in the cytoplasm – this class includes many heat shock protein mRNAs; and (2) another producing mRNAs that are poorly translated during glucose limitation, have high rates of translation initiation, and are concentrated in foci that co-localize with P bodies and stress granules – this class is enriched for glucose metabolism mRNAs. Remarkably, the information specifying differential localization and translation of these two classes of mRNAs is encoded in the promoter sequence – promoter responsiveness to heat shock factor (Hsf1) specifies diffuse cytoplasmic localization and preferential translation upon glucose starvation, whereas different promoter elements upstream of genes encoding poorly translated glucose metabolism mRNAs direct these mRNAs to RNA granules under glucose starvation. Thus, promoter sequences and transcription factor binding can influence not only mRNA levels, but also subcellular localization of mRNAs and the efficiency with which they are translated, enabling cells to tailor protein production to environmental conditions.

The secretome of the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi

Project description:Helminth parasites secrete molecules in soluble form (i.e the secretome) or packaged into extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a means of exporting effector molecules into the host microenvironment. Once released, the parasite-derived molecules can trigger a range of biological effects including modulation of host immunity. While the secretome and molecular cargo of EVs have been characterised in many parasites, little is known about the molecules released by the rumen fluke, Calicophoron daubneyi – an emerging infection of livestock in Western Europe. Here we used a mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach to characterise the secretome of the infective newly-excysted juvenile (NEJ) stage and adult flukes. We also profile the proteome of two sub-populations of EVs (termed 15K and 120K EVs) released by the adult flukes.

Transcriptional Signatures in Response to Wheat Germ Agglutinin and Starvation in Drosophila melanogaster Larval Midgut

Project description:One function of plant lectins is to serve as defenses against herbivorous insects. The midgut is the critical site affected by dietary lectins such as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). We observed marked cellular structural and gene expression changes in Drosophila melanogaster third-instar larval midguts from insects WGA-fed or starved. Dietary WGA caused shortening, branching, swelling, distortion and in some cases disintegration of the midgut microvilli (Mv). Starvation was accompanied by shortening of the Mv. Microarray analyses revealed that dietary WGA evolved differential expression of 62 transcripts; seven of which were also differentially expressed in starved insects. The differentially regulated gene cluster in WGA-fed larvae were associated with (i) cytoskeletal organization, (ii) immune responses, (iii) detoxification reactions, and (iv) energy metabolism. Four putative transcription factor binding motifs (TFBMs) were associated with the differentially-expressed genes. At least one of these putative TFBMs exhibited substantial similarity to MyoD, a TFBM associated with cellular structures in mammals. These results are in keeping with the hypothesis that WGA causes a starvation-like effect as well as structural changes of midgut cells of Drosophila third-instar larvae. Keywords: stress response

Expression profile of third instar larval fat body and midgut tissues

Project description:We use mRNA-seq to transcriptionally profile larval fat body and midgut tissues from Drosophila third instar larvae. These data provide insights into tissue physiology and can be used to identify tissue specific transcripts. Fat bodies from wandering third instar larvae were dissected from ~50 male larvae and gonads were removed to eliminate contaminating transctips from the gonads. Larval midguts were dissected from ~50 wandering third instar larvae. Larval tissues were removed to Graces unsupplemented medium on ice prior to RNA extraction with TRIzol reagent. mRNA-seq samples were prepared from 5ug of total RNA and subject to Illumina based sequencing.
