Honeybee proteome

ABSTRACT: The honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) is a eusocial insect that uses various chemical signals such as royal jelly (RJ) produced by the worker exocrine glands, to maintain the ‘physiology’ of its colony. The roles of worker hypopharyngeal glands (HpG) and the changes they undergo according to the division of labor from nursing to foraging have been extensively studied. The functions of other exocrine glands, however, such as the postcerebral glands (PcGs), thoracic glands (TGs), and mandibular glands (MGs), and their changes according to the division of labor of workers are not as well studied. To comprehensively characterize the molecular roles of these glands in workers and their changes according to the division of labor of workers, we analyzed the proteomes of PcGs, TGs, and MGs from nurse bees and foragers using large-scale and spectral counting-based semi-quantitative proteomics.

Metabolomic Analysis of Fission Yeast at the Onset of Nitrogen Starvation

Project description:Microorganisms naturally respond to changes in nutritional conditions by adjusting their morphology and physiology. The cellular response of the fission yeast S. pombe to nitrogen starvation has been extensively studied. Here, we report time course metabolomic analysis during one hour immediately after nitrogen starvation, prior to any visible changes in cell morphology except for a tiny increase of cell length per division cycle. We semi-quantitatively measured 75 distinct metabolites, 60% of which changed their level over 2-fold. The most significant changes occurred during the first 15 min, when trehalose, 2-oxoglutarate, and succinate increased, while purine biosynthesis intermediates rapidly diminished. At 30–60 min, free amino acids decreased, although several modified amino acids—including hercynylcysteine sulfoxide, a precursor to ergothioneine—accumulated. Most high-energy metabolites such as ATP, S-adenosyl-methionine or NAD+ remained stable during the whole time course. Very rapid metabolic changes such as the shut-off of purine biosynthesis and the rise of 2-oxoglutarate and succinate can be explained by the depletion of NH4Cl. The changes in the levels of key metabolites, particularly 2-oxoglutarate, might represent an important mechanistic step to trigger subsequent cellular regulations.

Endogenous mammalian histone H3.3 exhibits chromatin-related functions during development

Project description:Background. The histone variant H3.3 plays key roles in regulating chromatin states and transcription. However, the role of endogenous H3.3 in mammalian cells and during development has been less thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, we report the production and phenotypic analysis of mice and cells with targeted disruption of the H3.3-encoding gene, H3f3b. Results. H3f3b KO mice exhibit a semi-lethal phenotype traceable at least in part to defective cell division and chromosome segregation. H3f3b KO cells have widespread ectopic CENP-A protein localization suggesting one possible mechanism for defective chromosome segregation. KO cells have abnormal karyotypes and cell cycle profiles as well. The transcriptome and euchromatin-related epigenome were moderately affected by loss of H3f3b in MEFs with ontology most notably pointing to changes in chromatin regulatory and histone coding genes. Reduced numbers of H3f3b KO mice survive to maturity and almost all survivors from both sexes are infertile. Conclusions. Taken together, our studies suggest that endogenous mammalian histone H3.3 has important roles in regulating chromatin and chromosome functions that in turn are important for cell division, genome integrity, and development.

Studies on the Mechanism of Telavancin Decreased Susceptibility in a Laboratory-Derived Mutant

Project description:Telavancin is a novel semi-synthetic lipoglycopeptide derivative of vancomycin with a dual mode of action. This study sought to understand knowledge of mechanisms of decreased susceptibility in laboratory-derived mutant. There were multiple significant changes in the transcriptome of TlvDSMED1952 indicating an altered overall physiology of the strain, likely decreased virulence, and changes in cell wall and membrane properties, probably due to multiple genetic changes in the strain.

LC-MSMS analysis of ageing vs labour division in ants

Project description:In social insects, workers perform distinct tasks according to the caste they belong to, and workers from different castes differ in their age (nest workers are usually younger than foragers are). The caste shift thus seems inseparable from age, preventing from deciphering the role of labour division and age in regulating individual physiology and ageing rates. We set up an experimental protocol separating age and caste effects by defining four groups of black garden ant (Lasius niger) workers: young foragers (Y.F), old foragers (O.F), young nest workers (Y.NW) and old nest workers (O.NW). Proteomics highlighted differences between individuals according to their age, whereas metabolomics revealed caste-related differences. Our study highlighted that age and caste influence specifically different aspects of the physiology of ant workers.

Ileal expression data of mice fed with diet containing protein from various sources

Project description:This study was designed to address key questions concerning the use of alternative protein sources for animal feeds and addresses aspects such as their nutrient composition and impact on gut function, the immune system and systemic physiology. We used casein (CAS), partially delactosed whey powder (DWP), spray dried porcine plasma (SDPP), soybean meal (SBM), wheat gluten meal (WGM) and yellow meal worm (YMW) as protein sources. We investigated the effects of feeding mice during a period of four weeks on semi-synthetic diets containing 30% of six different protein sources. Microarrays were used to detail the global gene expression in the ileal mucosae of mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were stratified according to bodyweight and litter of origin into six dietary treatment groups. These mice were fed for four weeks with semi-synthetic diets containing one of the following protein sources. At the end of four weeks, mice were sacrificed by euthenesia and ileal tissue samples (scrapings) were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Soybean meal (SBM) diet group served as reference to make comparisons with other experimental diets.

Spatial-temporal order of regulation in tomato early fruit development

Project description:Early fruit development is crucial for crop production in tomato. After fertilization, the ovary undergoes a cell division and a cell expansion stages before maturation. Although the roles of regulatory signals such as hormone and carbohydrate during early fruit development have been studied, the spatial distribution and the sequential initiation of these regulatory signals is still poorly understood. Using the cultivated tomato “Moneymaker” as materials, we analyzed the transcriptome of the ovule and the ovary wall dissected from the different stages of the early developing fruits. These datasets provide us the whole picture about the spatial and temporal signal distribution of fruit formation which has not been studied in such a detailed manner. Our results suggest that the hormone signal was initiated in both ovule and ovary wall after fertilization. After that, the different signals were activated in ovule and ovary wall due to their distinct developmental processes. By analyzing the global expression profiling of hormone related genes, we found that the auxin might be synthesized in both ovule and ovary wall after fertilization. The expression pattern of sugar related genes revealed the different carbohydrate metabolism events occurred in ovule and ovary wall. At last, we identified a gene showed tissue and stage specific expression pattern and localized in previously reported fruit weight locus which might be selected during tomato breeding.

Response of Arabidopsis roots to combinations of nitrogen and hormonal signals

Project description:Living organisms have to cope with multiple and combined fluctuations in their environment. According to their sessile mode of life, plants are even more subjected to such fluctuations impacting their physiology and development. In particular, nutrient availability is known to tune plant development through modulating hormonal signaling, and conversely, hormonal signals are key to control nutrient related signaling pathways (Krouk et al., 2011a). However, very few is known about molecular mechanisms leading to plant adaptation to such combined signals. Here we deployed an unprecedented combinatorial treatment matrix to reveal plant adaptation in response to nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), auxin (IAA), cytokinins (CK) and abscisic acid (ABA) and their exhaustive binary combinations.
