Project description:Diverse sex determination mechanisms have been reported in eukaryotes, but little is known about the genetic pathways leading to sex determination in red algae. Sex-specific genes that could be involved in sex determination and sexual differentiation were investigated in a red alga Bostrychia moritziana by analyzing the transcriptomes of various phases including males, females and tetrasporophytes. Sex-dominantly-expressed genes which shows >10 fold difference between sexes were isolated using comparative RNA-seq analysis. We found 19 gene homologues, 10 from males and 9 from females, that were found only in one sex in genomic amplification. This suggests that these divergent homologues are on non-recombining, possibly different, chromosomes in their respective sexes. Most of the sex-specific genes are involved in important cellular processes including chromosome segregation, nucleo-cytoplasmic protein shuttling or tRNA modification. Quantitative PCR analysis also showed that some sex-specific genes were differently regulated during critical events of sexual reproduction like fertilization and carposporophyte development. We could also localize the expression of a male-specific gene in spermatia before and after gamete binding using RNA in situ hybridization. Another set of transcripts were found that were sex-dominantly-expressed, but not sex-specific. 19 out of 39 sex-dominantly-expressed transcripts were annotated to transposable elements, but none of them was sex-specific. Our results suggest that sexual differentiation in B. moritziana may be achieved by multi-level regulation of cellular processes, both from genes present only in one sex and differential expression of shared genes.

Project description:X-chromosome reactivation (XCR) in early development was studied using transcriptome data from bovine male and female blastocysts derived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). X-chromosome genes (X-genes) were upregulated almost twofold higher in female IVF blastocysts compared to that found in males. Since the mean expression levels of autosomal genes were relatively constant in both males and females, the upregulation of X-genes in female IVFs demonstrated a transcriptional sexual dimorphism between the sexes. X-genes were similarly expressed in inner cell mass and trophectoderm cells of female blastocysts, indicating no imprinted inactivation of paternal X in trophectoderm. Whereas the distribution of female-to-male expression ratios for autosomal genes was well balanced in IVFs, the distribution of X-genes was biased towards females such that approximately 80% of X- genes showed an increased level of expression. These observations of XCR and of X and autosomal gene expressions in IVFs were found in SCNTs, although to a lesser extent than that found in IVFs. We found that sham SCNT blastocysts, which underwent the same nuclear transfer procedures but retained their embryonic genome, closely mimicked that found with IVFs, and therefore, demonstrated that embryo manipulation itself did not interrupt XCR. In addition, from a heatmap of X-gene expression, we found a distinctive pattern between the sexes in which female SCNTs differed from male SCNTs and donor cells, but resembled female IVFs. Our findings that female IVFs, and to a lesser extent female SCNTs, undergo XCR, demonstrate that clonal reprogramming of bovine X chromosomes is incomplete and varies not only among local chromosomal regions but also among individual blastocysts.

Project description:Type III adenylyl cyclase (AC3, ADCY3) is predominantly enriched in neuronal primary cilia throughout the central nervous system (CNS). Genome-wide association studies in humans have associated ADCY3 with major depressive disorder and autistic spectrum disorder, both of which exhibit sexual dimorphism. To date, it is unclear how AC3 affects protein phosphorylation and signal networks in central neurons, and what causes the sexual dimorphism of autism. We employed a mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomic approach to quantitatively profile differences in phosphorylation between inducible AC3 knockout (KO) and wild type (WT), male and female mice. In total, we identified 4655 phosphopeptides from 1756 proteins, among which 565 phosphopeptides from 322 proteins were repetitively detected in all samples. Comparison of AC3 KO and WT datasets revealed that phosphopeptides with motifs matching proline-directed kinases’ recognition sites had a lower abundance in the KO dataset than in WTs. We detected 14 phosphopeptides restricted to WT dataset (i.e., from Spast and Ppp1r14a) and 35 exclusively in KOs (i.e., from Sptan1, Arhgap20, Arhgap44, and Pde1b). Moreover, 95 phosphopeptides were identified only in female dataset and 26 only in males. Label-free MS spectrum quantification using Skyline further identified phosphopeptides that had high expression abundance in each sample group. In total, over 200 modifications were gender-biased and had increased expression in females relative to males. 29% gender-biased phosphopeptides were from autism-associated proteins, including Dlg1, Dlg4, Dlgap2, Syn1, Syngap1, Ctnna1, Ctnnd1, Ctnnd2, Pkp4, and Arvcf. These autism proteins were well-connected in protein-protein interaction network that centered around Dlg4. This study provided the first phosphoproteomics evidence, suggesting that gender-biased post-translational phosphorylation may be implicated in the sexual dimorphism of autism.

Project description:Study description:This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/ Schistosomes are blood dwelling digenean trematodes that mature as adults in the intestinal or urinary veins, predominantly of mammals. Adult female Schistosomes produce eggs of which approximately 40% fail to pass into faeces or urine (species-dependent) but are dispersed by the blood stream into different organs where they provoke severe inflammation. This parasitic infection is known as schistosomiasis and considered by the WHO as the second most socioeconomically devastating parasitic disease, next only to malaria, with hundreds of millions infected worldwide. As the eggs represent the causative pathogenic agents, the understanding of egg forming processes, and therefore of the schistosomal reproductive biology in general, is of fundamental interest. Additionally the differences between immature (pre-mating) and mature (post-mating) adult worms are of significant interest; adults only reach maturity upon mating. Trasncriptomic sequencing of gonad-specific cellular material will help to unravel signal transduction cascades involved in e.g. gametogenesis and/or vitellogenesis. This project aims to characterize the transcriptome profiles of immature and mature adult ovaries and adult testes.

Project description:We present a comparative analysis of sex-specific tegument proteins of paired or virgin Schistosoma mansoni. By apply a new and highly sensitive workflow, detection of even low abundance proteins from the worm was achieved Therefore, a streptavidin-biotin affinity purification technique in combination with single pot solid-phase enhanced sample preparation was established for subsequent LC-MS/MS analysis. We were able to identify 1519 tegument proteins for male and female as to virgin and paired worms. Sex-specific proteins were screened, present in both virgin and paired adult schistosomes to reduce the impact of mating. Bioinformatic analysis revealed an involvement of female-specific tegument proteins in signaling pathways of cellular processes and antioxidant mechanisms. Male-specific proteins were found to be enriched in processes linked to phosphorylation and signal transduction. This suggests a task sharing between the sexes that might be necessary for survival in the host. Our datasets provide a basis for further studies to understand and ultimately decipher the strategies of the two worm sexes to evade the immune system.

Project description:Using RNA sequencing of FACS sorted retro-labeled sensory neurons innervating tongue tissue, we determined changes in transcriptomic profiles in males and female mice under naïve as well as tongue-tumor bearing conditions Our data revealed the following interesting findings: 1) Naïve female neurons innervating the tongue exclusively expressed immune cell markers such as Csf1R, C1qa and others, that weren’t expressed in males. 2) Male neurons were more tightly regulated than female neurons upon tumor growth; 3) While very few differentially expressed genes (DEGs) overlapped between males and females post-tumor growth, several biological processes (BPs) were similar between two sexes. However, additional distinct processes were sex-specific; 4) Post-tumor growth, male DEGs contained an equal mix of transcription factors, ligands, growth factors, receptors and channels, whereas female DEGs predominantly contained channels/receptors, enzymes, cytokines and chemokines.

Project description:Insects, unlike vertebrates, are generally believed to lack steroid hormones with functions predominantly associated with adult male biology. In the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the ecdysteroid 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) appears to both control egg development in females and induce mating refractoriness and oviposition when sexually transferred by males. Here we show that these sex-specific functions are instead carried out by distinct steroids. We identify a male-specific oxidized form of 20E (3D20E) that upon sexual transfer switches off female mating receptivity, ensuring male paternity. Endogenous female 20E does not induce mating refractoriness, while it triggers oviposition in mated females when expression of a 20E-inhibiting kinase is repressed. 3D20E and 20E have different downstream targets, with 3D20E inducing expression of a tolerance factor that preserves female fitness during Plasmodium infection. The evolution of this male steroid has therefore not only shaped the mating biology of An. gambiae, but also impacted malaria transmission.
