Project description:Coral skeletons are materials composed of inorganic aragonitic fibers, proteins, sugars and lipids that are highly organized to form a solid body upon which the animals live. The skeleton contains more than 30 proteins, all of which are encoded in the animal genome and secreted during the biomineralization process. How these proteins are spatially related is unknown. Using a combination of chemical crosslinking and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, we identify, for the first time. the spatial interactions of the skeletal proteins within a stony coral. Our subsequent network analysis revealed several coral acid-rich proteins (CARPs) are invariably associated with carbonic anhydrase(s), alpha-collagen, cadherins and other calcium binding proteins. These interactions clearly show that protein-protein interactions in coral skeletons are highly coordinated and are key to understanding the formation and persistence of coral skeletons through time

Project description:Mesophotic coral reefs have been proposed as refugia for corals, providing shelter and larval propagules for shallow-water reefs that are disproportionately challenged by global climate change and local anthropogenic stressors. Yet, knowledge of the capacity of coral larvae to adjust to different depth environments is still limited. In this study, planulae of the reef-building coral Stylophora pistillata from 5-8 and 40-44 m depth in the Gulf of Aqaba were tested in a long-term in situ translocation experiment for their ability to settle and acclimate to reciprocal depth conditions. We assessed survival rates, photochemical, physiological and morphological characteristics, as well as gene expression variations in juveniles grown at different depths, comparing them to non-translocated adults, juveniles and planulae. We found high mortality rates among mesophotic-origin planulae, irrespective of translocation depth. Gene expression patterns suggested that deep planulae lacked settlement competency and experienced increased developmental stress upon release. Symbiont photochemical acclimation to depth occurred rapidly within 8 days, with symbiont populations showing changes in photochemical traits but no symbiont species shuffling between deep and shallow juveniles. In contrast, coral host physiological and morphological acclimation were less evident. We observed minimal overlap in gene expression patterns between different life stages and depths, indicating that gene expression significantly depends on life stage. The study also identified a set of DEGs associated with initial stress responses following translocation, lingering stress response, and environmental effects of depth. In conclusion, though our data reveal rapid symbiont acclimation, host acclimation to match deep coral phenotypes was incomplete within 60 days for planulae translocated to different depths. These results have implications for understanding the ecological significance of mesophotic reefs as potential larval sources in the face of environmental stressors.

Project description:Background: Anthozoan cnidarians are amongst the simplest animals at the tissue level of organization, but are surprisingly complex and vertebrate-like in terms of gene repertoire. As major components of tropical reef ecosystems, the stony corals are anthozoans of particular ecological significance. To better understand the molecular bases of both cnidarian development in general and coral-specific processes such as skeletogenesis and symbiont acquisition, microarray analysis was carried out through the period of early development – when skeletogenesis is initiated, and symbionts are first acquired. Methodology/ Principal Findings: Of approximately 5600 unique genes represented on the microarrays, 1084 were differentially expressed (P <0.05) in comparisons between four different stages of coral development, spanning key developmental transitions. Genes of likely relevance to the processes of settlement, metamorphosis, calcification and interaction with symbionts were characterised further and their spatial expression patterns investigated using whole-mount in situ hybridisation. Conclusions/Significance: This study is the first large-scale investigation of developmental gene expression for any cnidarian, and has provided candidate genes for key roles in many aspects of coral biology, including calcification, metamorphosis and symbiont uptake. One surprising finding is that some of these genes have clear counterparts in higher animals but are not present in the closely-related sea anemone Nematostella. A second conclusion is that coral-specific processes (i.e. traits which distinguish corals from their close relatives) may be analogous to similar processes in distantly related organisms. This first large-scale application of microarray analysis demonstrates the potential of this approach for investigating many aspects of coral biology, including the effects of stress and disease.
