MS profiling of the Long Term Evolution Experiment

ABSTRACT: The metabolome of a cell is the integration point of an organism's environment, genetics, and gene expression pattern. The metabolic phenotype can be under selection and is known to contribute to adaption. However, the metabolome's inherent networked and convoluted nature makes relating mutations, metabolic changes, and effects on fitness challenging. To overcome this challenge, we use the Long Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE) as a model to understand how mutations can transduce themselves through a cellular network, eventually affecting metabolism and perhaps fitness. We used mass-spectropscopy to broadly survey the metabolomes of both ancestors and all 12 evolved lines and combined this with genomic and expression data to suggest how mutations that alter specific reaction pathways, such as the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, might increase fitness in the system. Our work brings the field closer to a complete genotype-phenotype map for the LTEE and a better understanding of how mutations might affect fitness through the metabolome. We used mass-spectroscopy to profile metabolic changes in the Long Term Evolution Experiment and link these change to upstream changes in gene expression and mutations.

Landscape of transcriptional and translational changes over 22 years of bacterial adaptation

Project description:We use RNA-seq and Ribo-seq to analyze expression changes in the Long Term Evolution Experiment. By comparing expression levels between the ancestral strains and each of the evolved lines, we find that expression changes are largely parallel after 22 years of evolution, that these changes occur in specific pathways, and that known mutations may be responsible for some of the observed expression changes.

TMT-MS2_cellular adaptation to hypomorphic alleles of essential gene NUP58

Project description:Adaptive evolution in response to cellular stress is a critical process implicated in a wide range of core biological and clinical phenomena. Two major routes of adaptation have been identified: non-genetic cellular plasticity, which allows expression of different phenotypes in novel environments, and genetic variation achieved by selection of fitter phenotypes. While these processes are now broadly accepted, their temporal and epistatic features in the context of cellular evolution and emerging drug resistance are contentious. In this project, we generated hypomorphic alleles of the essential nuclear pore complex (NPC) gene NUP58. By dissecting both early and long-term mechanisms of adaptation in independent clones, we observed that early physiological adaptation correlated with transcriptome rewiring and upregulation of genes known to interact with the NPC. In contrast, long-term adaptation and fitness recovery occurred via focal amplification of NUP58 and restoration of mutant protein expression. These data support the concept that plasticity-mediated and genetic routes can co-exist to enable cellular evolution, with early flexibility of phenotype allowing later acquisition of genetic adaptations to a specific impairment. We propose this approach as a genetic model to mimic targeted drug therapy in human cells and to dissect early and late mechanisms of adaptation. Targeting both mechanisms in parallel may reduce the emergence of drug resistance.

The evolution of low mutation rates in experimental mutator populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:microarray experiment to test the gene expression in long term lines of mutator and non-mutator yeast. Here we use an experimental evolution approach to investigate the conditions required for evolution of a reduction in mutation rate and the mechanisms by which populations tolerate the accumulation of deleterious mutations. We find that after ~6700 generations four out of eight experimental mutator lines had evolved a decreased mutation rate.

Mechanisms of Adaptive Evolution of Aneuploid Cells

Project description:Alteration of normal ploidy (aneuploidy) is an important mechanism of evolution of species. It has been linked to a rapid response to stress and is regarded as a hallmark of cancer. While increased genomic instability of aneuploid cells can accelerate genetic diversification and facilitate adaptation, these cells also face the adverse effects of gene imbalance, resulting in fitness cost. Here, to understand the mechanisms through which cells respond to aneuploidy and develop tolerance leading to fitness restoration, we subjected disomic (i.e. with an extra chromosome copy) strains of yeast to long-term experimental evolution, forcing disomy maintenance with selection markers. We characterized mutations, karyotype alterations and gene expression changes throughout adaptive evolution, and analyzed them to dissect the associated molecular strategies. Cells with different extra chromosomes accumulated mutations at distinct rates, and endured a diverse array of adaptive events. Despite remarkable diversity of these events, cells tended to evolve towards normal ploidy through both chromosomal DNA loss and changes in gene expression. We identified genes commonly altered during the evolution of disomic strains, and genes recurrently mutated in multiple lines. Our analyses revealed protein translation, amino acid biosynthesis, transcription regulation, stress response, and nucleotide and protein degradation as key pathways for the adaptive response to aneuploidy and identified transcription factors that mediate this response. Together, these findings define cellular strategies that underlie tolerance to aneuploidy.

Sex-limited experimental evolution drives transcriptomic divergence in a hermaphrodite

Project description:The evolution of gonochorism from hermaphroditism is linked with the formation of sex chromosomes, as well as the evolution of sex-biased and sex-specific gene expression to allow both sexes to reach their fitness optimum. There is evidence that sexual selection drives the evolution of male-biased gene expression in particular. However, previous research in this area in animals comes from either theoretical models or comparative studies of already old sex chromosomes. We therefore investigated changes in gene expression under three different selection regimes for the simultaneous hermaphrodite Macrostomum lignano subjected to sex-limited experimental evolution (i.e., selection for fitness via eggs, via sperm, or a control regime allowing both). After 21 and 22 generations of selection for male-specific or female-specific fitness, we characterized changes in whole-organism gene expression. We found that female-selected lines had changed the most in their gene expression. Although annotation for this species is limited, GO-term and KEGG pathway analysis suggests that metabolic changes (e.g., biosynthesis of amino acids and carbon metabolism) are an important adaptive component. As predicted, we found that expression of genes previously identified as testis-biased candidates tended to be downregulated in the female-selected lines. We did not find any significant expression differences for previously identified candidates of other sex-specific organs, but this may simply reflect that few transcripts have been characterized in this way. In conclusion, our experiment suggests that changes in testis-biased gene expression are important in the early evolution of sex chromosomes and gonochorism.

A dataset of sequential DNA methylation profiles (2 timepoints) of 10 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Project description:Clonal and subclonal evolution is involved in the progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Evolution can work to select not only genetic mutations, but also epigenetic states. Here we performed a long-term longitudinal DNA methylation profiling study of CLL patients to look for associations of epigenetic evolution to different disease courses. In line with the genetic data, large-scale methylation evolution was not present in any of the evaluated long-term untreated (n = 3) and relapsed (n = 2) patients displaying clonal changes of linear type while 3 of the 5 examined refractory patients featured profound changes in DNA methylation.

Compensating the fitness costs of synonymous mutations

Project description:Synonymous mutations do not change the sequence of the polypeptide but they may still influence fitness. We investigated in Salmonella enterica how four synonymous mutations in the rpsT gene (encoding ribosomal protein S20) reduce fitness (i.e. growth rate) and the mechanisms by which this cost can be genetically compensated. The reduced growth rates of the synonymous mutants were correlated with reduced levels of the rpsT transcript and S20 protein. In an adaptive evolution experiment these fitness impairments could be compensated by mutations that either caused up-regulation of S20 through increased gene dosage (due to duplications), increased transcription of the rpsT gene (due to an rpoD mutation or mutations in rpsT), or increased translation from the rpsT transcript (due to rpsT mutations). We suggest that the reduced levels of S20 in the synonymous mutants result in production of a defective subpopulation of 30S subunits lacking S20 that reduce protein synthesis and bacterial growth and that the compensatory mutations restore S20 levels and the number of functional ribosomes. Our results demonstrate how specific synonymous mutations can cause substantial fitness reductions and that many different types intra- and extragenic compensatory mutations can efficiently restore fitness. Furthermore, our study highlights that also synonymous sites can be under strong selection, which may have implications for the use of dN/dS ratios as signature for selection.
