The limited number of centipede venom characterizations have revealed a rich diversity of toxins, and recent work has suggested centipede toxins may be more rapidly diversifying than previously considered. Additionally, many identified challenges in venomics research, including assembly and annotation methods, toxin quantification, and the ability to provide biological or technical replicates, have yet to be addressed in centipede venom characterizations. We performed high-throughput, quantifiab ...[more]

De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing for Tetramorium bicarinatum: The first comprehensive venom gland transcriptome analysis from an ant species.

Project description:In order to provide a global insight on the transcripts expressed in the venom gland of the Brazilian ant species Tetramorium bicarinatum and to unveil the potential of its products, high-throughput expressed sequence tags were generated using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. A total of 212,371,758 pairs of quality-filtered, 100-base-pair Illumina reads were obtained. The de novo assemblies yielded 36,042 contigs for which 27,873 have at least one predicted ORF among which 59.77% produce significant hits in the available databases. The investigation of the reads mapping toxin class revealed a high diversification with the major part consistent with the classical hymenopteran venom protein signature represented by venom allergen (33.3%) followed by a diverse toxin-expression profile including several distinct isoforms of phospholipase A1 and A2, venom serine protease, hyaluronidase, protease inhibitor and secapin. Moreover, our results revealed for the first time the presence of toxin-like peptides that have been previously identified from unrelated venomous animals such as waprin-like (snakes) and agatoxins (spiders and conus). 300 ant specimens from the species Tetramorium bicarinatum were dissected in order to extract the RNA from their venom gland, The whole ant body was used as a reference,

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of Bothrops jararaca venom gland proteome

Project description:While cellular transcripts encode rich information that provide key features to understand the molecular basis of snake venom variation, their presence/ abundance does not necessary imply/correlate in the translation of a functional (protein) product. In this study we carried out an analysis of the venom gland proteome of Bothrops jararaca taking into account two distinct phases of its ontogenetic development (i.e. newborn and adult specimens) and the marked sexual dimorphism recently reported on its venom proteome. Proteomic data analysis showed wider dynamic range for toxins when comparing to non-toxins and a dynamic proteome rearrangement in cellular proteins upon B. jararaca development. Differentially expressed proteins covered a number of biological pathways related to protein synthesis, including proteins related to transcription and translation, which were found to be significantly higher expressed in the newborn venom gland. Our results showed that the variation in the expression levels of cellular proteins gives rise to an even higher variation in the dynamic range of the expressed toxins. Upon ageing, the molecular constraints related to protein synthesis together with ecological traits would likely have an impact on the toxin repertoire, which, in the case of B. jararaca species, would enable the species to deal with different prey types during its lifespan.

Snake Venom LC/MSE - Post-transcriptional Mechanisms Contribute Little to Phenotypic Variation in Snake Venoms

Project description:Protein expression is a major link in the genotype-phenotype relationship, and processes affecting protein abundances, such as rates of transcription and translation, could contribute to phenotypic evolution if they generate heritable variation. Recent work has suggested that mRNA abundances do not accurately predict final protein abundances, which would imply that post-transcriptional regulatory processes contribute significantly to phenotypes. Post-transcriptional processes also appear to buffer changes in transcriptional patterns as species diverge, suggesting that the transcriptional changes have little or no effect on the phenotypes under study. We tested for concordance between mRNA and protein expression levels in snake venoms by means of mRNA-seq and quantitative mass spectrometry for 11 snakes representing 10 species, six genera, and three families. In contrast to most previous work, we found high correlations between venom-gland transcriptomes and venom proteomes for ten of our 11 comparisons. We tested for protein-level buffering of transcriptional changes during species divergence by comparing the difference between transcript abundance and protein abundance for three pairs of species and one intraspecific pair. We found no evidence for buffering during divergence of our three species pairs but did find evidence for protein-level buffering for our single intraspecific comparison, suggesting that buffering, if present, was a transient phenomenon in venom divergence. Our results demonstrated that post-transcriptional mechanisms did not contribute significantly to phenotypic evolution in venoms and suggest a more prominent and direct role for cis-regulatory evolution in phenotypic variation, particularly for snake venoms.

Different research approaches in unraveling the venom proteome of Naja ashei

Project description:The dynamic development of venomics in recent years has resulted in a significant increase in publicly available proteomic data. The information contained therein is often used for comparisons between different datasets and to draw biological conclusions therefrom. We aimed to show the possible differences that can arise, in the final results of the proteomic experiment, while using different research workflows. We applied two software solutions (Peptide Shaker and MaxQuant) to process data from shotgun LC-MS/MS analysis of Naja ashei venom and collate it with the previous report concerning this species. Our results underline the necessary caution in the interpretation of data based on a comparative analysis of data derived from different studies.

Saddleback caterpillar venom proteomics

Project description:Limacodidae is a family of lepidopteran insects comprising more than 1,500 species, over half of which produce pain-inducing defensive venom components in the larval stage, but little is known about their venom. Recently, we characterised proteinaceous toxins from the Australian limacodid caterpillar Doratifera vulnerans, but it is unknown if the venom of this species is typical of other Limacodidae. Here, we use single animal transcriptomics and venom proteomics to investigate the venom of an iconic limacodid, the North American saddleback caterpillar Acharia stimulea. We identified 65 confirmed venom polypeptides, grouped into 31 different families. Neurohormones, knottins, and homologues of the immune signaller Diedel make up the majority of A. stimulea venom, indicating strong similarities to D. vulnerans venom, despite their geographic separation. One notable difference is the presence of RF-amide peptide toxins in A. stimulea venom. Synthetic versions of these RF-amide toxins displayed potent activation of the human neuropeptide FF1 receptor, insecticidal activity when injected into Drosophila melanogaster, and moderate ability to inhibit the larval development of the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus. This study provides insights into venom evolution and toxin activity in Limacodidae, and will allow the synthetic production of A. stimulea peptide toxins towards functional and structural characterisation.
