Project description:"Gene response profiles for Daphnia pulex exposed to the environmental stressor cadmium reveals novel crustacean metallothioneins." Joseph.R.Shaw, John.K.Colbourne, Jennifer.C.Davey, Stephen.P.Glaholt, Thomas.H.Hampton, Celia.Y.Chen, Carol.L.Folt, Joshua.W.Hamilton (BMC Genomics 2007). Genomic research tools such as microarrays are proving to be important resources to study the complex regulation of genes that respond to environmental perturbations. A first generation cDNA microarray was developed for the environmental indicator species Daphnia pulex, to identify genes whose regulation is modulated following exposure to the metal stressor cadmium. Our experiments revealed interesting changes in gene transcription that suggest their biological roles and their potentially toxicological features in responding to this important environmental contaminant. Our microarray identified genes reported in the literature to be regulated in response to cadmium exposure, suggested functional attributes for genes that share no sequence similarity to proteins in the public databases, and pointed to genes that are likely members of expanded gene families in the Daphnia genome. Genes identified on the microarray also were associated with cadmium induced phenotypes and population-level outcomes that we experimentally determined. A subset of genes regulated in response to cadmium exposure was independently validated using quantitative-realtime (Q-RT)-PCR. These microarray studies led to the discovery of three genes coding for the metal detoxication protein metallothionein (MT). The gene structures and predicted translated sequences of D. pulex MTs clearly place them in this gene family. Yet, they share little homology with previously characterized MTs. The genomic information obtained from this study represents an important first step in characterizing microarray patterns that may be diagnostic to specific environmental contaminants and give insights into their toxicological mechanisms, while also providing a practical tool for evolutionary, ecological, and toxicological functional gene discovery studies. Advances in Daphnia genomics will enable the further development of this species as a model organism for the environmental sciences.

Project description:Daphnia (Daphnia pulex) is a small planktonic crustacean and a key constituent of aquatic ecosystems. It is commonly used as a model organism for studying environmental toxic challenges. In the past decade, a Daphnia genomic information and proteomic dataset has been developed. This dataset has expanded the opportunity to relate toxicological effects with “Daphnia proteomics” as it integrates proteomic knowledge in Daphnia, those approach will provide greater insights for toxicological research. In order to exploit Daphnia for ecotoxicological research, information on the post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins is necessary as this is a critical regulator of biological processes. Acetylation of lysine (Kac) is a reversible and highly regulated PTM that is associated with diverse biological functions. However, a comprehensive description of Kac in Daphnia is not yet available. Here, to understand the cellular distribution of lysine acetylation in Daphnia, we identified 98 acetylation sites in 65 proteins by immunoprecipitation using an anti-acetyllysine antibody and an liquid chromatography system supported by mass spectroscopy. We identified 28 acetylated sites connected with metabolic proteins and 6 acetylated enzymes associated with the TCA cycle in Daphnia. From GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, we showed that Kac in D. pulex is highly enriched in proteins associated with metabolic processes. Our data provide the first global analysis of lysine acetylation in D. pulex. The expanded proteomic dataset will be an important resource for the functional analysis of Kac in D. pulex and it will be nice to have a first step done using a promising future model organism.
