Middle Pleistocene protein sequences from the rhinoceros genus Stephanorhinus and the phylogeny of extant and extinct Middle/Late Pleistocene Rhinocerotidae.

ABSTRACT: Characterization of Middle Pleistocene rhinoceros proteins and the phylogenetic relationships between extinct and extanct rhinoceros was investigated by obtaining ancient protein data for two extinct rhinoceros genera (Coelodonta antiquitatis and Stephanorhinus sp.).

<h4>Background</h4>Ancient protein sequences are increasingly used to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships between extinct and extant mammalian taxa. Here, we apply these recent developments to Middle Pleistocene bone specimens of the rhinoceros genus <i>Stephanorhinus</i>. No biomolecular sequence data is currently available for this genus, leaving phylogenetic hypotheses on its evolutionary relationships to extant and extinct rhinoceroses untested. Furthermore, recent phylogenies based on ...[more]

Extinct species identification from late Middle Pleistocene and earlier Upper Pleistocene bone fragments and tools not recognizable from their osteomorphological study by an enhanced proteomics protocol

Project description:Ancient preserved molecules offer the opportunity of gaining a deeper knowledge on their biological past. However, the development of a proteomic workflow remains a challenge. The analysis of fossils must involve a low quantity of material to avoid damaging the samples. In this study an enhanced proteomic protocol was applied to 5-milligram samples of about 130,000-year-old mammalian bones ranging from the end of the Middle Pleistocene up to the earlier Upper Pleistocene, excavated from Scladina Cave (Sclayn, Belgium). Using sequence homology with modern sequences, a biological classification was successfully achieved and the associated taxonomic ranks to each bone were identified consistently with the information gained from osteomorphological studies and palaeoenvironmental and palaeodietary data. Amino acid substitutions on collagens were identified, thus providing new information on extinct species sequences and helping in taxonomy-based clustering. Considering samples with no osteomorphological information, such as two bone retouchers, proteomics successfully identified the families providing paleontologists new information on these objects. Combining osteomorphology studies and amino acid variations identified by proteomics, one of the retouchers was potentially identified as belonging to the Ursus spelaeus species.

Robust high throughput proteomics identification and deami-dation quantitation of extinct species up to Pleistocene with Ultrahigh Resolution MALDI-FTICR Mass Spectrometry

Project description:Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry allows the identification of bone species based on their type I collagen sequence. In archaeological or paleontological field, PMF is known as ZooMS and is widely implement-ed to find markers for most species, including the extinct ones. In addition to the identification of bone species, ZooMS enables dating estimation by measuring the deamidation value of specific peptides. Herein, we report several enhancements to the classical ZooMS technique, which reduces to ten-fold the required bone sample amount (down to milligram scale) and achieves robust deamidation value calculation in a high throughput manner. These improvements rely on a 96-well plates samples preparation, a careful optimization of collagen extraction and digestion to avoid spurious posttranslational modifi-cations production and peptide mass fingerprinting at high resolution using MALDI-FTICR (Matrix Assisted Desorption Ionization Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance) analysis. This method was applied to the identification of a hun-dred bones of herbivores from the Middle Paleolithic site of Caours (Somme, Northern France) well dated from the Eemian Last Interglacial climatic optimum. The method gave reliable species identification to bones already identified by their oste-omorphology, as well as to more challenging bone samples consisting of small or burnt bone fragments. The obtained de-amidation values of bones originating from the same geological layers have a low standard deviation. The method can be applied to archaeological bone remains and offers a robust capacity to identify traditionally unidentifiable bone fragments, thus increasing the number of identified specimens and providing invaluable information in specific contexts.

Early Pleistocene enamel proteome sequences from Dmanisi resolve Stephanorhinus phylogeny

Project description:Ancient DNA (aDNA) sequencing has enabled reconstruction of speciation, migration, and admixture events for extinct taxa. Outside the permafrost, however, irreversible aDNA post-mortem degradation has so far limited aDNA recovery to the past ~0.5 million years (Ma). Contrarily, multiple analyses suggested the presence of protein residues in Cretaceous fossil remains. Similarly, tandem mass spectrometry (MS) allowed sequencing ~1.5 million year (Ma) old collagen type I (COL1), though with limited phylogenetic use. In the absence of molecular evidence, the speciation of several Early and Middle Pleistocene extinct species remain contentious. In this study, we address the phylogenetic relationships of the Eurasian Pleistocene Rhinocerotidae using a ~1.77 Ma old dental enamel proteome of a Stephanorhinus specimen from the Dmanisi archaeological site in Georgia (South Caucasus). Molecular phylogenetic analyses place the Dmanisi Stephanorhinus as a sister group to the woolly (Coelodonta antiquitatis) and Merck’s rhinoceros (S. kirchbergensis) clade. We show that Coelodonta evolved from an early Stephanorhinus lineage and that the latter includes at least two distinct evolutionary lines. As such, the genus Stephanorhinus is currently paraphyletic and requires systematic revision. We demonstrate that Early Pleistocene dental enamel proteome sequencing overcomes the limits of ancient collagen- and aDNA-based phylogenetic inference. It also provides additional information about the sex and taxonomic assignment of the specimens analysed. Dental enamel, the hardest tissue in vertebrates, is highly abundant in the fossil record. Our findings reveal that palaeoproteomic investigation of this material can push biomolecular investigation further back into the Early Pleistocene.
