The molecular basis of socially-mediated phenotypic plasticity in a eusocial paper wasp

Project description:We report analyses the individual-level brain gene expression profiles of Polistes dominula paper wasps following the loss of a queen, a perturbation that induces some individuals to undergo a significant phenotypic shift and become queens while others maintain an apparently unchanged worker phenotype. We use a machine learning approach to map individual transcriptomes on a continuum between worker and queen states and then match these scores to detailed phenotypic data. We find a strong response of caste-associated gene expression to queen loss, with individuals’ expression profiles becoming intermediate between queen and worker states.

Next generation sequencing to determine DNA-binding sites of Wiskott-Aldich Syndrome Protein (WASP) in the cell line GM 11518 (wild-type) and in the cell line ID00003/WASP-c-EOS (WASP overexpressed)

Project description:To determine the global gene occupancy by Wiskott - Aldrich syndrome Protein (WASP) we perform ChIP-seq assay in two lymphoblastoid cell lines. We identify WASP-enriched genes, including several WASP-interaction genes previously reported; in addition, our results suggest the implication of WASP in diverse cellular process

Molecular Basis of Caste Determination in Polistes metricus

Project description:We investigated environmental determinants of caste differences in paper wasps, specifically the effects of differential nutrition. We found that nutritional restriction only partially biased wasp gene expression patterns toward being worker caste-like, which highlights the complex and multifactorial nature of environmental effects on the gene expression patterns underlying plastic phenotypes

The molecular basis and evolution of cooperative brood care in bumblebees

Project description:Sibling care is a hallmark of the social insects, but its evolution remains challenging to explain. The hypothesis that sibling care evolved from ancestral maternal care in the primitively eusocial insects has been elaborated to involve heterochronic changes in gene expression. This elaboration leads to the prediction that workers in these species will show patterns of gene expression more similar to foundress queens, who express maternal care behavior, than to established queens engaged solely in reproductive behavior. We tested this idea in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris using a microarray platform with ca. 4,500 genes. Unlike in the wasp Polistes metricus, in which support for the above prediction has been obtained, we found that patterns of brain gene expression in foundress and queen bumblebees were more similar to each other than to workers. However, comparisons of lists of differentially expressed genes derived from this study and gene lists from microarray studies in Polistes and the honeybee Apis mellifera suggest that there is a shared set of genes involved in the regulation of related social behaviors across independent eusocial lineages. Together, these results suggest that the multiple independent evolutions of eusociality in the insects involved a combination of shared and different mechanisms.
