Project description:The goals of these studies are to explore the mechanisms that enable extreme physiological plasticity and that may account for evolutionary divergence of adaptive osmotic physiologies among taxa that occupy different osmotic niches. In a common-garden environment, we track physiological and genome expression responses to hypo-osmotic (freshwater) challenge during a time-course of acclimation, and contrast these responses within and between species. We seek to identify mechanisms that facilitate osmotic acclimation that are evolutionarily conserved between basal and derived physiologies, and identify mechanisms that are uniquely derived to enable the extreme osmotic plasticity exhibited by F. heteroclitus. Importantly, previous studies using a comparable experimental design have identified physiological changes and genome expression responses that are adaptive for populations of F. heteroclitus that live in fresh water. As such, this enables us to test whether mechanisms of adaptive micro-evolutionary divergence across osmotic gradients within F. heteroclitus are shared with the mechanisms that account for patterns of macro-evolutionary divergence between F. heteroclitus and F. majalis that we identify in this study. That is, are the targets of micro-evolutionary fine-tuning the same or different as the targets of macro-evolutionary divergence across osmotic boundaries? Population comparisons include between populations from Chesapeake Bay (CB), coastal Virginia (VA), and coastal Georgia (GA).

Project description:In this study we characterize the gill transcriptome changes that coincide with the arrival of contaminating oil in field-collected Gulf killifish Fundulus grandis. Gill transcription was contrasted before and after the arrival of oil, and between oil impacted and reference sites. Animals were sampled from field sites at four times. The oil impacted site is Grand Terre Island Louisiana (GT) and the two reference sites are Bay St. Louis Mississippi (BSL) and Bayou La Batre Alabama (BLB). The first timepoint (05/01/2010 to 05/09/2010) was before the arrival of contaminating oil, the second and third timepoints (06/28/2010 to 06/29/2010, and 08/30/2010 to 09/01/2010) were after the arrival of contaminating oil, and the fourth timepoint 08/28/2011) was over a year after the arrival of contaminating oil.

Project description:The goals of these studies are to explore the mechanisms that may account for evolutionary divergence of adaptive osmotic physiologies among taxa that occupy different osmotic niches. In a common-garden environment, we track genome expression responses to hyper-osmotic (brackish water) challenge during a time-course of acclimation, and contrast these responses between species. We seek to identify mechanisms that facilitate osmotic acclimation that are evolutionarily conserved between basal and derived physiologies, and also to identify mechanisms that are uniquely derived in alternate osmotic environments.

Project description:In this study we characterize the gill transcriptome changes in Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) that coincide with controlled laboratory-based exposure to various concentrations of experimentally-weathered south Louisiana crude oil. Gill transcription was contrasted between doses and across timepoints following dosing.

Project description:The two-component system (TCS) is a specific regulatory system in bacteria and plays an important role in sensing and adapting to the environment. In this study, we evaluated the roles of TCSs in the major cariogenic pathogen Streptococcus mutans in resistance to several types of bacteriocin. In a comprehensive analysis using individual TCS mutants, we found that two novel TCSs were associated with resistance against distinct lantibiotics nisin A (class I type A[I]) and nukacin ISK-1(class I type A[II]). One TCS, SMU.659-660 (designated as NsrRS), was related to resistance against nisin A produced by Lactococcus lactis ATCC 11454. The other TCS, SMU.1146-1145 (designated as LcrRS), was related to resistance against nukacin ISK-1 produced by Staphylococcus warneri ISK-1. NsrRS induced the expression of SMU.658 (designated as NsrX), which constitutes an operon with nsrRS, in response to nisin A. Inactivation of nsrX increased susceptibility to nisin A. Additionally, NsrX expression in S. mutans increased the binding affinity to nisin A compared to a no-expression strain. LcrRS induced the expression of SMU.1148-50 (lctFEG), which encodes an ABC transporter and is located upstream of lcrRS, in response to nukacin ISK-1. Inactivation of lctFEG significantly increased susceptibility to nukacin ISK-1. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay analysis revealed that NsrR and LcrR bound directly to regions upstream of nsrX and lctFEG, respectively. This is the first report that two distinct TCSs, NsrRS and LcrRS, are independently involved in resistance to nisin A and nukacin ISK-1 in S. mutans. Total of 14 samples were analyzed. Total RNA from each test strain and control described below were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 555 and Alexa Fluor® 647, respectively, and were cohybridized on a single array. Labeling and hybridization were performed once or twice independently. UA159 wild type as control vs. UA159 with nisinA or nukacin ISK-1, UA159 wild type with nisinA or nukacin ISK-1 vs. nsrRS or lcrRS deletion mutant in UA159 with nisinA or nukacin ISK-1.

Project description:This study assessed the implications of a 14 day sub-chronic exposure of ethinylestradiol (EE2; 1.0 or 10.0 M-BM-5g/L EE2) on male medaka fertility, testicular histology and testicular gene expression. The findings demonstrate that a 14 day exposure to EE2 induced impaired male reproductive capacity and time- and dose-dependent alterations in testicular morphology and gene expression. The average fertilization rate/day following the exposure for control, 1.0 and 10.0 M-BM-5g/L EE2 was 91.3% (M-BM-14.4), 62.8% (M-BM-18.3) and 28.8% (M-BM-15.8), respectively. The testicular morphologic alterations observed include increased germ cell apoptosis, decreased germinal epithelium and thickening of the interstitium. The morphologic changes observed were highly associated with gene expression changes observed using a medaka-specific microarray. A pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes emphasized genes and pathways associated with apoptosis, cell cycle and proliferation, collagen production/extracellular matrix organization, hormone signaling, male reproduction and protein ubiquitination among others. Six month old male medaka were exposed to ethinyl estradiol (EE2) for a 14 day time period. Treatment exposures were completed in triplicate including DMSO (vehicle control), 1.0 M-BM-5g/L EE2, and 10.0 M-BM-5g/L EE2. Fish were sampled for gene expression on days 1, 7 and 14 of exposure. Five male fish were placed in 2-liter beaker replicates for each treatment and sampling time point.
