Coincident evolution and functional adaptation of the Caenorhabditis-restricted genes ivph-3 and gon-14

ABSTRACT: Poorly conserved or taxonomically-restricted genes represent a sizable portion of most genomes. Many of these genes participate in essential processes and can contribute to evolutionary innovation in species. However, identifying which genes are biologically important and uncovering their functions remains a significant challenge, since routine tools reliant on gene ontology or sequence orthology are of limited use. Here we evaluate two genes of the Caenorhabditis-restricted class of LIN-15B-domain-encoding genes, ivph-3 and gon-14, and compare their in vivo functions in two species, C. elegans and C. briggsae. We show that within the Elegans supergroup of Caenorhabditis, ivph-3 and gon-14 exhibit sequence constraints distinct from other family members, including maintenance of a one-to-one orthology and a higher degree of stabilizing selection. Coincidentally, mutants for either of the genes exhibit strong phenotypic defects that are similar within-species (C. elegans or C. briggsae), but with notable differences when comparing between species. These findings highlight the genetic and genomic features associated with the evolution of a taxonomically restricted gene family, and suggest mechanisms by which specific family members adapt to fulfill essential biological functions.

Transcription profiling of C. elegans daf-19(+) and daf-19(-) mutants

Project description:By screening for genes possessing canonical X-box sequences in promoters of three Caenorhabditis species, namely C. elegans, C. briggsae and C. remanei, we identified 93 genes (including known X-box regulated genes) that encode putative components of ciliated neurons in C. elegans and are subject to the same regulatory control. For many of these genes, restricted anatomical expression in ciliated cells was confirmed, and control of transcription by the ciliogenic DAF-19 RFX transcription factor was demonstrated by comparative transcriptional profiling of daf-19(+) and daf-19(-) animals. Experiment Overall Design: There 4 samples.

Transcriptional Profiling of C. briggsae Temperate and Tropical representative strains after extreme cold

Project description:Different populations of the same species survive different environments through local adaptation. Temperature is one of the most important driving forces that could result in local adaptation. Here, we studied the influence of extreme low temperature on the survival of two genetically and geographically distinct populations of the free-living Caenorhabditis briggsae. We found that Caenorhabditis briggsae strains of temperate origin had a cold resistant phenotype, while those originating from a tropical climate had reduced survival after cold treatment. Using this phenotypic difference between geographically diverse populations as a model for how species adapt to their local environment, we then analyzed the transcriptional profiles of two Caenorhabditis briggsae strains of tropical and temperate origin to find genes that are involved in survival after extreme cold. In summary, the response to the extreme low temperature that clearly distinguishes the temperate and tropical Caenorhabditis briggsae strains could serve as an excellent example for studying local adaption of species that show genetic separation associated with their geographical distribution.

Analysis of miRNA, piRNA and siRNA in Caenorhabditis species

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains each of the broad classes of eukaryotic small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), endogenous small-interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs) and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). To better understand the evolution of these regulatory RNAs, we deep sequenced small RNAs from C. elegans and three closely related nematodes: C. briggsae, C. remanei and C. brenneri. The results reveal a fluid landscape of small RNA pathways with essentially no conservation of individual sequences aside from a subset of miRNAs. We identified 52 miRNA families that are conserved in each of the four species as well as numerous miRNAs that are species specific or shared between only two or three species. Despite a lack of conservation of individual piRNAs and siRNAs many of the features of each pathway, including genomic distribution, are conserved. We show that in each species, 26G siRNAs trigger stage-specific secondary siRNA formation. We also observe that piRNAs trigger siRNA formation from targets containing up to three mismatches in each species. Finally, we show that nematodes produce two distinct sex-specific classes of piRNAs, suggesting different roles for piRNAs in male and female germlines.

Caenorhabditis sex-specific RNAseq

Project description:This project defines the transcriptomes of XO (male) and XX (female or mutant pseudo-female) Caenorhabditis nematodes. The data allow the overall composition and sexual regulation of the transcriptome within a single species to be determined. In addition, the five related species studied allow meta-comparisons between them. Because two of the five (C. elegans and C. briggsae) produce a self-fertile XX hermaphrodite, while the XX sex in the remaining three (C. japonica, C. remanei, and C. brenneri) are true females, the data are particularly useful for inferring effects of sexual mode on genome-wide gene expression. L4 larvae and adults were pooled for each sex for five species (C. elegans, C. briggsae, C. japonica, C. brenneri, and C. remanei). Each of these 10 species-sex combinations was replicated three times, for a total of 30 samples.

Repertoire and evolution of miRNA genes in four divergent nematode species

Project description:We have performed small RNA sequencing in the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans, C. briggsae, C. remanei and Pristionchus pacificus, which have diverged up to 400 million years ago, to establish the repertoire and evolutionary dynamics of miRNAs in these species. In addition to previously known miRNA genes from C. elegans and C. briggsae we demonstrate expression of many of their homologs in C. remanei and P. pacificus, and identified in total more than 100 novel expressed miRNA genes, the majority of which belong to P. pacificus. More than half of all identified miRNA genes were found to be conserved at the seed level in all four nematode species, whereas only a few miRNAs appear to be species-specific. In our compendium of miRNAs we observed evidence for known mechanisms of miRNA evolution, including antisense transcription and arm switching, as well as miRNA family expansion through gene duplication. In addition, we identified a novel mode of miRNA evolution, termed ‘hairpin shifting’, in which an alternative hairpin is formed with up- or downstream sequences, leading to shifting of the hairpin and creation of novel miRNA* species. Finally, we identified 21U-RNAs in all four nematodes, including P. pacificus, where the upstream 21U-RNA motif is more diverged. However, the genomic distribution of 21U-RNA clusters in P. pacificus appears more scattered throughout the genome as compared to C. elegans. The identification and systematic analysis of small RNA repertoire in four nematode species described here provides a valuable resource for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of miRNA-mediated gene regulation. Small RNAs were cloned from mixed stage animals. Sequencing was performed using the 454 GS FLX platform.

Array-based cross-species hybridization between genera of Rhabditidae (Nematoda)

Project description:The objective of this work was to determine the effectiveness of cross-hybridization of gDNA from five native soil nematodes to an Affymetrix Caenorhabditis elegans tiling array. Cross-hybridization experiments using C. briggsae, for which genome information is available, allowed hybridisation intensities to be correlated with known sequence differences. Initial analysis of data by conventional array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) techniques at the chip level lead to misleading results due to an artefact from the combination of scaling, bandwidth smoothing, and differential GC content in exon and intron regions. To circumvent this artefact, individual probes were instead normalized and centered by adjusting for probe-specific thermodynamic binding affinity. However, cross-hybridization of C. briggsae DNA revealed that the resultant probe intensities alone were still uncorrelated to sequence similarity below 90% identity. Below 90% similarity, all probes hybridize uniformly poorly, and above 90% similarity the hybridization differences are not large enough to detect over background, therefore, no 'threshold' ratio of hybridization intensity was successful at identifying probes with similarity to the heterologous genome. In light of the observations described here, we suggest that the criteria for replication and verification of gene expression profiles generated from cross-species microarray hybridizations be more stringent than typically adopted for con-specific hybridizations. Genomic DNA from Caenorhabditis elegans N2 (Bristol), C. elegans CB4856 (Hawaiian), C. briggsae AF16, Oscheius tipulae KS585, Oscheius FVV-2 KS555, Mesorhabditis sp. KS587, Acrobeloides sp. KS586, and Chiloplacus sp. KS584 were hybridized onto C. elegans Affymetrix tiling array (two replicate chips were performed for each species).

Comparative analysis of piRNA sequences, targets and functions in Caenorhabditis nematodes

Project description:Piwi proteins and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are best known for their roles in suppressing transposons and promoting fertility. Yet piRNA biogenesis and its mechanisms of action differ widely between distantly related species. To better understand the evolution of piRNAs, we characterized the piRNA pathway in C. briggsae, a sibling species of the model organism C. elegans. Our analyses define 25,883 piRNA producing-loci in C. briggsae. piRNA sequences in C. briggsae are extremely divergent from their counterparts in C. elegans, yet both species adopt similar genomic organization and transcription program that drive piRNA expression. By examining production of Piwi-dependent secondary small RNAs, we identified a set of protein-coding genes that are evolutionarily conserved piRNA targets. In contrast to C. elegans, small RNAs mapped to ribosomal RNAs or histone transcripts are not hyper-accumulated in C. briggsae. Instead, we found that fewer introns in transcripts are associated with hyper-accumulation of small RNAs. Together our work highlights evolutionary conservation and divergence of the nematode piRNA pathway and provides insights into its role in endogenous gene regulation.
