Project description:After the end of the last ice age, ancestrally marine threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have undergone an adaptive radiation into freshwater environments throughout the Northern Hemisphere, creating an excellent model system for studying molecular adaptation and speciation. Stickleback populations are reproductively isolated to varying degrees, despite the fact that they can be crossed in the lab to produce viable offspring. Ecological and behavioral factors have been suggested to underlie incipient stickleback speciation. However, reproductive proteins represent a previously unexplored driver of speciation. As mediators of gamete recognition during fertilization, reproductive proteins both create and maintain species boundaries. Gamete recognition proteins are also frequently found to be rapidly evolving, and their divergence may culminate in reproductive isolation and ultimately speciation. As an initial investigation into the contribution of reproductive proteins to stickleback reproductive isolation, we characterized the egg coat proteome of threespine stickleback eggs. In agreement with other teleosts, we find that stickleback egg coats are comprised of homologs to the zona pellucida (ZP) proteins ZP1 and ZP3. We explore aspects of stickleback ZP protein biology, including glycosylation, disulfide bonding, and sites of synthesis, and find many substantial differences compared to their mammalian homologs. Furthermore, molecular evolutionary analyses indicate that ZP3, but not ZP1, has experienced positive Darwinian selection across teleost fish. Taken together, these changes to stickleback ZP protein architecture suggest that the egg coats of stickleback fish, and perhaps fish more generally, have evolved to fulfill a more protective functional role than their mammalian counterparts.

Project description:Total RNA was extracted from liver tissues of lab-reared threespine stickleback. The dataset combines transcripts common to two experiments: first generation fish originating from the Baltic Sea near Helsinki (Finland) bred using a paternal half-sib design (E-MTAB-3098), and second generation fish originating from three different Fennoscandian populations bred from a full-sib design. Annotated R scripts defining the normalization procedures are available as additional files (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/files/E-MTAB-3099). Additional files also include a metadata file (matrix.df.csv) to facilitate construction of design matrices used by the snm package.

Project description:Schistocephalus solidus is a cestode parasite that is thought to manipulate the behaviour of its threespine stickleback host Gasterosteus aculeatus. It has been hypothesized that the worm could liberate in its external environment “manipulation factors” that would ultimately interfere with the host’s physiology and behaviour. The objective of this project is to describe the whole proteomic content of the proteome and of the secretome of a putative manipulative parasite, Schistocephalus solidus, with the aim to identify proteins that could be involved in the behavioural perturbations of the threespine stickleback.

Project description:Sex chromosome evolution in the threespine stickleback
| PRJNA277770 | ENA
Project description:Total RNA was extracted from liver tissues of lab-reared threespine stickleback. First generation fish originating from the Baltic Sea near Helsinki (Finland) were bred using a paternal half-sib design. At 6 months individuals were randomly assigned to either a treatment or control group: the temperature of treated fish (T) was raised 1oC per hour over the course of 6h to a final temperature of 23oC, then maintained for 1h at final temperature; control (C) fish were maintained at 17oC under similar holding conditions. Immediately following experimental (or sham) treatment, fish were euthanized by anaesthetic overdose. Liver tissues were immediately dissected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent RNA extraction. Annotated R scripts defining the normalization procedures are available as additional files (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/files/E-MTAB-3098). Additional files also include a targets file to assist with reading raw data into R (Targs.txt), and a metadata file (matrix.df.csv) to facilitate construction of design matrices used by the M-bsnmM-b package.
