Evidence for a role of viruses in the thermal sensitivity of coral photosymbionts

ABSTRACT: Symbiodinium, the dinoflagellate photosymbiont of corals, is posited to become more susceptible to viral infections when heat-stressed. To investigate this hypothesis, we mined transcriptome data of a thermo-sensitive and a thermo-tolerant type C1 Symbiodinium population at ambient (27°C) and elevated (32°C) temperatures. We uncovered hundreds of transcripts from nucleocytoplasmic large double-stranded DNA viruses (NCLDVs) and the genome of a novel positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus (+ssRNAV). In the transcriptome of the thermo-sensitive population only, +ssRNAV transcripts had remarkable expression levels in the top 0.03% of all transcripts at 27°C, but at 32°C, expression levels of +ssRNAV transcripts decreased while expression levels of antiviral transcripts increased. In both transcriptomes, expression of NCLDV transcripts increased at 32°C, but thermal-induction of NCLDV transcripts involved in DNA manipulation was restricted to the thermo-sensitive population. Our findings reveal that viruses infecting Symbiodinium are affected by heat stress and may contribute to Symbiodinium thermal sensitivity.

How thermal challenges change gene regulation in the songbird brain and gonad: implications for sexual selection in our changing world

Project description:In a rapidly warming world, exposure to high temperatures may impact fitness, but the gene regulatory mechanisms that link sublethal heat to sexually selected traits are not well understood, particularly in endothermic animals. Our experiment used zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), songbirds that experience extreme temperature fluctuations in their native Australia. We exposed captive males to an acute thermal challenge (43°C) compared with thermoneutral (35°C) and lower (27°C) temperatures. We found significantly more heat dissipation behaviors at 43°C and heat retention behaviors at 27°C, temperatures previously shown to reduce song production and fertility. Next, we characterized gene expression in tissues important for mating effort – the posterior telencephalon, for its role in song production, and the testis, for its role in fertility and hormone production. Differential expression of hundreds of genes in the testes, but few in the brain, suggest the brain is more buffered from extreme temperatures. Nevertheless, dopaminergic signaling in the brain co-varied with heat dissipation behaviors, providing a mechanism by which temporary thermal challenges may alter motivational circuits for song production. In both brain and testis, we also observed quantitative continuous variation between thermally sensitive gene networks and individual differences in thermoregulatory behavior, indicating that mechanisms of thermal-behavioral tolerance have microevolutionary potential. Taken together, these results suggest that selection for thermal tolerance could impact performance of sexually selected traits, and in turn, sexual selection in a warming world could influence how thermal tolerance evolves.

Comparative transcriptomics of geographic strains of catfishes exposed to chronic high temperatures

Project description:This study examined differentially expressed (DE) gene transcripts and regulated pathways of two geographically distinct channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) strains and one hybrid catfish (I. punctatus x [blue catfish] I. furcatus) strain to test whether one particular catfish type handled thermal stress better. Following a six-week growth experiment, where fish were subjected to daily cycling temperatures of either 27-31M-BM-0C or 32-36M-BM-0C, mimicking pond fluctuations. We sequenced 18 cDNA libraries of liver samples to obtain 61 million reads per library. There were 5,443 DE transcripts and 41,689 regulated pathways. Northern channel catfish had the highest amount of DE transcripts (48.6%), 5 times that of southern channel catfish, and the greatest amount of transcripts with fold changes M-bM-^IM-% 2. The overall amount of temperature-induced DE transcripts between southern hybrid and southern channel catfish was fairly comparable in relation to that of northern channel catfish, however, there were more transcripts up- or downregulated with M-bM-^IM-% 2 fold changes in channel catfish strains compared to the southern hybrid catfish. Results from this study strongly suggest genetic differences between geographic catfish types affect physiological responses to thermal stress. Furthermore, a number of genes were linked to thermal stress tolerance, which may be beneficial for understanding geographic differences in thermal stress tolerance in ectotherms and for strain development of catfish.

Symbiodinium clade content drives host transcriptome more than thermal stress in the coral Montastraea faveolata (part 1)

Project description:Given the overwhelming evidence that symbiont genotypes differentially affect host processes such as growth, bleaching susceptibility, and nutrient acquisition, we set out to measure gene expression differences in fragments of Montastraea faveolata harboring two different clades of Symbiodinium. On the reefs near Puerto Morelos, México, colonies of M. faveolata are known to shift algal symbiont clade with depth, often associating with clade A at the top, clade B in the middle, and clade C near the bottom of the colony. By measuring photosynthetic efficiency and gene expression in control and heat-stressed fragments containing either clade B, clade C, or a mix of both, we found that: 1) the algal response to thermal stress is due to both host and algal factors; 2) fragments of M. faveolata express different genes in response to sub-bleaching thermal stress depending on algal genotype; 3) the overall effect of heat stress on coral gene expression is less significant than the effect of housing different zooxanthellae types. Overall, we present convincing evidence that different Symbiodinium clades may be functionally distinct, which in turn, greatly influences host gene expression.

We report genome-wide patterns of gene expression in two heat tolerant southern and two heat-sensitive northern clones of Daphnia pulex exposed to either optimal (18°C) or substressful (28°C) temperatures. Four competitive hybridizations of heat tolerant clones BW102 (hereafter B) and KSP3 (hereafter K), and heat sensitive clones EB1 (hereafter E) and CHQ3 (hereafter C) in response to thermal stress of either 18 degrees Celcius (here after 18) or 28 degrees (hereafter 28) in a loop design where each hybridization was replicated four times with two dye-swaps nested in each set of replicates.

We sequenced 18 cDNA libraries of liver samples to obtain 61 million reads per library. There were 5,443 DE transcripts and 41,689 regulated pathways. Northern channel catfish had the highest amount of DE transcripts (48.6%), 5 times that of southern channel catfish, and the greatest amount of transcripts with fold changes ≥ 2. The overall amount of temperature-induced DE transcripts between southern hybrid and southern channel catfish was fairly comparable in relation to that of northern channel catfish, however, there were more transcripts up- or downregulated with ≥ 2 fold changes in channel catfish strains compared to the southern hybrid catfish. Results from this study strongly suggest genetic differences between geographic catfish types affect physiological responses to thermal stress. Furthermore, a number of genes were linked to thermal stress tolerance, which may be beneficial for understanding geographic differences in thermal stress tolerance in ectotherms and for strain development of catfish.
