Project description:Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are major vectors of African trypanosomes, causing either Human or Animal African Trypanosomiasis (HAT or AAT). Several approaches are developed to control the disease among which the anti-vector Sterile Insect Technique. Another approach in the frame of anti-vector strategies could consist in controlling the fly’s vector competence which needs identifying factors (genes, proteins, biological pathways, …) involved in this process. The present work aims to verify whether protein candidates identified under experimental controlled conditions on insectary-reared tsetse flies have their counterpart in field-collected flies. Glossina palpalis palpalis flies naturally infected with Trypanosoma congolense were sampled in two HAT/AAT foci in Southern Cameroon. After dissection, the proteome from guts of parasite-infected flies were compared to that from uninfected flies in order to identify quantitative and/or qualitative changes associated to infection. A total of 3291 proteins were identified of which 1818 could be quantified. The comparative analysis allowed identifying 175 proteins with significant decreased abundance in infected as compared to uninfected flies, while 61 proteins displayed increased abundance. Among the former are RNA binding proteins, kinases, actin, ribosomal proteins, endocytosis proteins, oxido-reductases, as well as proteins that are unusually found such as tsetse salivary proteins (Tsal) or Yolk proteins. Among the proteins with increased abundance are fructose-1,6-biphosphatase, serine proteases, membrane trafficking proteins, death proteins (or apoptosis proteins), and SERPINs (inhibitor of serine proteases, enzymes considered as trypanosome virulence factors) that displayed highest increased abundance. Sodalis, Wiggleswothia and Wolbachia proteins are strongly under-represented, particularly when compared to data from similar experimentation conducted under controlled conditions on T. brucei gambiense infected (or uninfected) G. palpalis gambiensis insectary reared flies. Comparing the overall recorded data, 364 proteins identified in gut extracts from field flies were shown to have a homologue in insectary flies. Discrepancies between the two studies may arise from differences in the species of studied flies and trypanosomes as well as in differences in environmental conditions in which the two experiments were carried out. Finally, the present study together with former proteomic and transcriptomic studies on the secretome of trypanosomes, on the gut extracts from insectary reared and on field collected tsetse flies, provide a pool of data and information on which to draw in order to perform further investigations on, for example, mammal host immunization or on fly vector competence modification via para-transgenic approaches.

Project description:Alphaviruses establish a persistent infection in arthropod vectors, which is essential for effective transmission of the virus to vertebrate hosts. The development of persistence in insects is not well understood, although it is thought to involve the innate immune response. Using a transgenic fly system (SINrep) expressing a self-replicating viral genome, we have previously demonstrated the antiviral response of the Drosophila Imd (Immune Deficiency) and Jak-STAT innate immunity pathways. In the current study, microarray analysis of SINrep flies in comparison to control GFP flies aims to detect genes that are sensitive to Sindbis viral RNA replication. Both SINrep and GFP adult flies were harvested 3 days post eclosion for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We look for genes significantly altered in the presence of viral RNA replication.

Project description:We utilized Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), using probes designed from de novo assembly of a testes transcriptome, to identify genes located on the sex chromosomes and autosomes of a stalk-eyed fly, Sphyracephala beccarii. Analysis of X chromosome gene content revealed the evolution of a neo-X chromosome that originated prior to the diversification of the family. Comparison of X-linkage across three species spanning the phylogenetic breadth of the family indicates abundant chromosomal gene movement, particularly for genes expressed exclusively in the testes. Two-condition experiment, female vs. male DNA, for one species with 3 biological replicates

Project description:We designed and experimentally validated an in silico gene deletion strategy for engineering endogenous one-carbon (C1) metabolism in yeast. Specifically, a Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) model predicted that five genes ALT2, FDH1, FDH2, FUM1, and ZWF1, when deleted in combination, would cause Saccharomyces cerevisiae to overproduce and secrete formic acid under aerobic growth conditions. Once constructed, the quintuple mutant strain showed the predicted increase in formic acid secretion relative to a formate dehydrogenase mutant (fdh1 fdh2 ), while formic acid secretion in wild-type yeast was undetectable. Gene expression and physiological data generated post hoc identified a mitochondrial deficiency phenotype in the engineered strain and regulatory events that suggest a role for multisite modulation—the coordinated expression of multiple pathway enzymes—in controlling yeast C1 metabolism. Together, these results demonstrate that FBA-based modeling strategies can be useful tools for non-fermentative pathway design and discovery in eukaryotic microbes. In addition, the results indicate that seemingly unrelated mutations can be combined to modulate flux through biochemical reactions that interact at a systems level across subcellular compartments. Samples were processed in biological triplicate with one sample processed with dye orientations reversed to minimize the effects of incorporation bias.

Project description:Experimental evolution was conducted using Drosophila melanogaster populations that developed as larvae on breeding substrate that was infested with Aspergillus nidulans wild type, A. nidulans toxin-impaired mutant strain delta-laeA, the mycotoxin sterigmatocystin, or on fungi and toxin free substrate. Overall population were reared under these conditions for 11 generations, where after each confrontation generation one relaxation generation (fungi and toxin free breeding substrate) was conducted. Nine generations after the last selection treatment, first instar larvae were confronted with 3 days old A. nidulans wild type colonies or control conditions. 24 hours after confrontation start larvae were collected. For each biological replicate 52 larvae were collected from 4 independent confrontation units, balanced design. Three populations per selection regime were conducted, resulting in: 2 conditions x 4 selection regimes x 3 biological replicates (equal to fly population) = 24 samples. Selection regimes: sCO= control; sWT= A. nidulans wild type; sLA= A. nidulans mutant strain; sST= Sterigmatocystin. confrontation condition: cCO= control; cWT= A. nidulans wild type.
