Project description:The genus Strongyloides spp. include important human parasites. There is also a well studied rodent model, S. ratti. Uniquely among parasitic nematodes, the Strongyloides life-cycle includes both a parasitic female stage and a genetically identical free-living female stage. Differences between these two female forms must be epigenetic, presumably controlled by altered transcription and translation. This is a project to compare the proteome and transcriptome of the parasitic and free-living females of S. ratti. From this we will define the genes and gene products of the parasitic female stage. This approach exploits the currently advanced S. ratti genome sequencing project. This work will give an understanding of the molecular basis of nematode parasitism, and so define new potential drug targets. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:Mobile small RNAs are an integral component of the arms race between plants and fungal parasites, and several studies suggest microRNAs could similarly operate between parasitic nematodes and their animal hosts. However, whether and how specific sequences are selected for export by parasites is unknown. Here we describe a specific Argonaute protein (exWAGO) that is secreted in extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by the gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomodies bakeri, at multiple copies per EV. Phylogenetic and gene expression analyses demonstrate exWAGO is highly conserved and abundantly expressed in related parasites, including the human hookworm and proteomic analyses confirm this is the only Argonaute secreted by rodent parasites. In contrast, exWAGO orthologues in species from the free-living genus Caenorhabditis are highly diverged. By sequencing multiple small RNA libraries, we determined that the most abundant small RNAs released from the nematode parasite are not microRNAs but rather secondary small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that are produced by RNA-dependent RNA Polymerases. We further identify distinct evolutionary properties of the siRNAs resident in free-living or parasitic nematodes versus those exported in EVs by the parasite and show that the latter are specifically associated with exWAGO. Together this work identifies an Argonaute protein as a mediator of RNA export and suggests rhabditomorph nematode parasites may have co-opted a novel nematode-unique pathway to communicate with their hosts.

Project description:Although N2 fixation can occur in free-living cyanobacteria, the unicellular endosymbiotic cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN-A) is considered to be a dominant N2-fixing species in marine ecosystems. Four UCYN-A sublineages are known from partial nitrogenase (nifH) gene sequences. However, few studies have investigated their habitat preferences and regulation by their respective hosts in open-ocean versus coastal environments. Here, we compared UCYN-A transcriptomes from oligotrophic open-ocean versus nutrient-rich coastal waters. UCYN-A1 metabolism was more impacted by habitat changes than UCYN-A2. However, across habitats and sublineages genes for nitrogen fixation and energy production were highly transcribed. Curiously these genes, critical to the symbiosis for the exchange of fixed nitrogen for fixed carbon, maintained the same schedule of diel expression across habitats and UCYN-A sublineages, including UCYN-A3 in the open-ocean transcriptomes. Our results undersore the importance of nitrogen fixation in UCYN-A symbioses across habitats, with consequences for community interaction and global biogeochemical cycles.

Project description:Nematodes comprise an abundant and diverse invertebrate phylum with members inhabiting nearly every ecological niche. Panagrellus redivivus (the ’microworm’) is a free-living nematode frequently used to understand the evolution of developmental and behavioral processes given its phylogenetic distance to Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we report the de novo sequencing of the genome, transcriptome, and small RNAs of P. redivivus. Using a combination of automated gene finders and RNA‑seq data, we predict 24249 genes and 32676 transcripts. Small RNA analysis revealed 248 micro RNA hairpins, of which 63 had orthologs in other species. Fourteen miRNA clusters containing 42 miRNA precursors were found. P. redivivus has a full complement of genes for regulation of dauer formation despite the apparent absence of dauer juveniles in this species. The RNAi and programmed cell death pathways are largely conserved. Analysis of protein family domain abundance revealed that P. redivivus has experienced a striking expansion of BTB domain‑containing proteins and an unprecedented expansion of the cullin scaffold family of proteins involved in multi‑subunit ubiquitin ligases, suggesting proteolytic plasticity and/or tighter regulation of protein turnover. The eukaryotic release factor (eRF1) protein family has also been dramatically expanded and suggests an ongoing evolutionary arms race with viruses and transposons. The P. redivivus genome provides a resource to advance our understanding of nematode evolution and biology and to further elucidate the genomic architecture leading to free-living lineages, taking advantage of the many fascinating features of this worm revealed by comparative studies.
