Palaeoproteomic analysis of ancient eggshell proteins from Çatalhöyük archaeological site

ABSTRACT: Palaeoproteomics analysis of archaeological bird eggshells from archaeological Çatalhöyük site. This project aimed to taxonomically identify fragments of eggshells from the site, using a combination of morphological observations (by light microscopy) and protein analyses (MALDI-MS and LC-MS/MS).

Ancient proteins resolve controversy over the identity of Genyornis eggshell

Project description:Here we show the potential of proteins preserved in Pleistocene eggshell for addressing a longstanding controversy in human and evolution: the identity of the extinct bird that laid the eggs which were exploited by Australia’s first inhabitants. The eggs had been originally attributed to the iconic extinct flightless Genyornis newtoni, and subsequently dated to before 50 ±5 ka by Miller et al. (2016). This was taken to represent the extinction date for this endemic megafaunal species and thus implied a role of humans in its demise. A contrasting hypothesis, according to which the eggshell was laid by a large megapode (mound-builder), would therefore acquit humans of their responsibility in the extinction of Genyornis. Ancient protein sequences were reconstructed and used to assess the evolutionary proximity of the undetermined eggshell to extant birds, rejecting the megapode hypothesis. Ancient DNA could not be retrieved from these highly degraded samples, but morphometric data supported the attribution of the eggshell to Genyornis. When used in triangulation to address well-defined hypotheses, palaeoproteomics is a precious tool for reconstructing the evolutionary history of extinct and extant species. Here we show that the identification of Genyornis eggshell implies a more nuanced understanding of the modes of interactions between humans and their environment.

Palaeoproteomics of non-avian dinosaur eggshell calcite

Project description:This is a biomolecular study of the intra-crystalline organic fraction of Late Cretaceous (~80 Ma) sauropod eggshell, which was found to be enriched in endogenous fully racemic amino acids (Glx, Gly, Ala, and Val). However, LC-MS/MS failed to detect any peptide sequences that could be confidently considered endogenous.

Ostrich eggshell peptides survival into the Miocene (6-9 Ma)

Project description:The oldest authenticated peptide sequences to date were reported in 2016 from 3.8 Ma old ostrich eggshell (OES) from the site of Laetoli, Tanzania (Demarchi et al., 2016). Here we demonstrate survival of the same sequences in 6.5-9Ma OES recovered from a palaeosteppe setting in northwestern China. The eggshell is thicker than those observed in extant species and consistent with the Liushu Struthio sp. ootaxon. These findings push the preservation of ancient proteins back to the Miocene and highlight their potential for paleontology, paleoecology and evolutionary biology.

Mineral-bound ostrich eggshell peptides survive for up to 3.8 Ma in equatorial Africa

Project description:Claims for exceptional preservation of biomolecules in the fossil record are contested. Here we demonstrate the role of surface stabilisation in significantly prolonging protein sequence survival to ~3.8 million years. The intracrystalline environment of calcite ostrich (Struthionidae) eggshell encapsulates uterine proteins and molecular dynamics simulations of struthiocalcin-1 & -2, the dominant proteins within the eggshell, reveal that they bind to the mineral surface in distinct domains. By ~3.8 million years the struthiocalcin-1 domain with the lowest calculated binding energy is selectively preserved in eggshell samples from equatorial Africa. Sequence survival is explained by entropy loss of the peptide and water, lowering the effective temperature of the local environment at the peptide mineral interface.

Aedes aegypti mosquito eggshell proteins in response to RNAi-EOF1

Project description:Aedes aegypti mosquito ovarian follicles develop synchronously after taking a blood meal. A single layer of follicular epithelial cells surrounding the oocyte is responsible for secreting a majority of eggshell structural components between 18 and 54 hours post blood meal. We previously identified a protein called eggshell organizing factor 1 (EOF1). When we knocked down EOF1 with RNA interference in female adult mosquitoes, they laid eggs that were not properly melanized, and fragile eggs did not contain viable embryos. Here, we aimed to determine putative downstream eggshell proteins in RNAi-EOF1 female mosquitoes. Our eggshell proteomics identified 220 proteins, suggesting that mosquito extracellular eggshells are composed of a complex mixture of proteins. These proteins are involved in the formation of an intact eggshell that protects the embryonic development and larva from the environment for long periods of time.

Xitou site Eggshell Samples LC-MS/MS

Project description:This project focuses on the proteomic analysis of Xitou eggshell samples using high-resolution LC-MS/MS. The primary goal is to identify and characterize the protein components, evaluate their post-translational modifications, and compare them with modern goose eggshell proteomes. The results aim to provide insights into the biomineralization mechanisms and evolutionary differences in avian eggshell formation.
