Complete Genome and Partial Megaplasmid Sequences of Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii Strain NJB1907-Z4, Isolated from an Aquarium-Reared Japanese Sardine (Sardinops melanostictus) in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, has been isolated from wild and cultured fish. We report here the complete genome and partial megaplasmid sequences of a strain isolated from an aquarium-reared Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus) in Japan, M. pseudoshottsii NJB1907-Z4.

Project description:BackgroundThe clupeoid fishes are ecologically and commercially important fish species worldwide that exhibit a high level of population fluctuation, accompanied by alteration of reproductive traits. However, knowledge about their reproductive physiology in order to understand mechanisms underlying such population dynamics is limited. The endocrine system along with the brain-pituitary-gonadal (BPG) axis is critical for regulating reproduction. The aims of this study were to provide transcript data and genes related to the BPG axis, and to characterize the expression profiles of ovarian steroidogenesis-related genes in the Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus, Clupeidae).ResultsRNA sequencing was performed using the sardine brain, pituitary, and gonad in both sexes. A total of 290,119 contigs were obtained and 115,173 non-redundant ORFs were annotated. The genes differentially expressed between ovary and testis were strongly associated with GO terms related to gamete production. The tissue-specific profile of the abundance of transcripts was characterized for the major regulators in the BPG axis, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone, gonadotropin, and steroidogenic enzyme. By comparing between ovary and testis, out of eight different 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Hsd17b) genes identified, higher hsd17b7 expression was found in testis, whereas higher expression of hsd17b8, hsd17b10, hsd17b12a, and hsd17b12b was found in ovary. The cDNAs encoding key endocrine factors in the ovarian steroidogenic pathway were cloned, sequenced, and quantitatively assayed. In the pituitary, follicle-stimulating hormone beta peaked during vitellogenesis, while luteinizing hormone beta peaked at the completion of vitellogenesis. In the ovary, follicle-stimulating hormone receptor and luteinizing hormone receptor were upregulated from mid- to late phase of vitellogenesis. Furthermore, three steroidogenic enzyme genes (cyp11a1, cyp17a1, and cyp19a1a) gradually increased their expression during ovarian development, accompanying a rise in serum estradiol-17β, while 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein did not change significantly.ConclusionsThis is the first report of deep RNA sequencing analysis of Japanese sardine, in which many key genes involved in the BPG axis were identified. Expression profiles of ovarian steroidogenesis-related genes provide a molecular basis of the physiological processes underlying ovarian development in the sardine. Our study will be a valuable resource for clarifying the molecular biology of clupeoid fishes.
