Shell Proteome of Nacre and Myostracum from Perna Viridis

ABSTRACT: the shell of P. viridis was analyzed and two shell layers with different morphologies and polymorphs were observed, which includes nacre and myostracum strongly attached by adductor muscles to the interior of the shell surface. In order to understand whether these two shell layers contain different set of shell matrix proteins (SMPs), a parallel proteomics analysis of SMPs in the two shell layers was performed. A combination of LC-MS/MS analysis with the mantle transcriptome dataset searching resulted in the identification of a total of more than 300 proteins from P. viridis shell.

For understanding the structural characteristics and the proteome of Perna shell, the microstructure, polymorph, and protein composition of the adult Perna viridis shell were investigated. The P. viridis shell have two distinct mineral layers, myostracum and nacre, with the same calcium carbonate polymorph of aragonite, determined by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and x-ray crystalline diffraction. Using Illumina sequencing, the mantle transcriptome of P. ...[more]

Project description:In recent years, increasing levels of dissolved carbon dioxide in seawater have led to an increase of ocean acidification (OA), which constitutes a major threat to marine ecosystems. As an important economically marine bivalve, Mactra veneriformis is highly susceptible to ocean acidification. In this study, we recorded and observed the mortality rate, oxygen consumption rate and ammonia excretion rate of different shell colour groups of M. veneriformis under the stress of ocean acidification (pH=7.6), and conducted transcriptome analysis of the mantle tissues of M. veneriformis with white and purple shell colours in the acidified group (pH=7.6) and the control group (pH=8.1) under the two conditions, which showed that there was a significant difference in mortality rate between the acidified group and the control group at day 30, but there was a significant difference in mortality rate between the white colors group and the purple colors group at day 30, which was not significant. The results showed that there was a significant difference in mortality between the acidified and control groups at day 30, but the difference in mortality between the white and purple shell colour groups at day 30 was not significant. In the transcriptome analysis, fatty acid synthase gene was up-regulated in two shell colours of M. veneriformis under acidification stress, which may be a molecular compensatory mechanism to reduce the susceptibility of organisms to oxidative damage of lipids; tyrosinase gene was up-regulated, which may be a compensatory mechanism of Tyr's regulatory mechanism to the formation of shell damages under acidification; carbonic anhydrase gene was up-regulated in the purple group of M. veneriformis under acidification stress, which may be a compensatory mechanism for the acidity of M. veneriformis to cope with environmental stress; the white group of M. veneriformis under acidification stress was up-regulated. The carbonic anhydrase gene was up-regulated in the purple group under acidification stress, which may be an acidity compensation mechanism of M. veneriformis in response to the environmental stress.

Project description:Background: The shells of various Haliotis species have served as models of invertebrate biomineralization and physical shell properties for more than 20 years. A focus of this research has been the nacreous inner layer of the shell with its conspicuous arrangement of aragonite platelets, resembling in cross-section a brick-and-mortar wall. In comparison, the outer, less stable, calcitic prismatic layer has received much less attention. One of the first molluscan shell proteins to be characterized at the molecular level was Lustrin A, a component of the nacreous organic matrix of Haliotis rufescens. This was soon followed by the C-type lectin perlucin and the growth factor-binding perlustrin, both isolated from H. laevigata nacre, and the crystal growth-modulating AP7 and AP24, isolated from H. rufescens nacre. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics was subsequently applied to to Haliotis biomineralization research with the analysis of the H. asinina shell matrix and yielded 14 different shell-associated proteins. That study was the most comprehensive for a Haliotis species to date. Methods: The shell proteomes of nacre and prismatic layer of the marine gastropod Haliotis laevigata were analyzed combining mass spectrometry-based proteomics and next generation sequencing. Results: We identified 297 proteins from the nacreous shell layer and 350 proteins from the prismatic shell layer from the green lip abalone H. laevigata. Considering the overlap between the two sets we identified a total of 448 proteins. Fifty-one nacre proteins and 43 prismatic layer proteins were defined as major proteins based on their abundance at more than 0.2% of the total. The remaining proteins occurred at low abundance and may not play any significant role in shell fabrication. The overlap of major proteins between the two shell layers was 17, amounting to a total of 77 major proteins. Conclusions: The H. laevigata shell proteome shares moderate sequence similarity at the protein level with other gastropod, bivalve and more distantly related invertebrate biomineralising proteomes. Features conserved in H. laevigata and other molluscan shell proteomes include short repetitive sequences of low complexity predicted to lack intrinsic three-dimensional structure, and domains such as tyrosinase, chitin-binding, and carbonic anhydrase. This catalogue of H. laevigata shell proteins represents the most comprehensive for a haliotid and should support future efforts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of shell assembly.
