A time-resolved multi-omics atlas of Acanthamoeba castellanii encystment

ABSTRACT: Encystment is a common response of most protists to stress. Although some signaling pathways regulating this process were reported, our knowledge remains limited. Here, we mapped the molecular changes occurring in the amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii during the early steps of encystment. De novo analysis of the transcriptome identified more than 150,000 previously undescribed transcripts that were utilized for mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis after triggering starvation. With this strategy, we identified thousands of protein sequences absent from the reference genome. These results revealed the regulation of expected biological processes, such as the shutdown of cell proliferation at transcript level followed by down-regulation of proteins. The phosphoproteome showed a quick regulation of phosphorylation sites involved in cytoskeleton remodeling and translation regulation, among other processes underlying A. castellanii encystment. To our knowledge, this work constitutes the first time-resolved molecular atlas of an encysting organism and a useful resource to further investigating amoebae encystment.

Discovery and mechanistic studies of cytotoxic cyclotides from the medicinal herb Hybanthus enneaspermus (Linn) F. Muell

Project description:Cyclotides are a family of plant-derived peptides characterized by a ~30 amino acid cyclic backbone and a cystine knot motif. Cyclotides have diverse bioactivities, and in particular their cytotoxicity has attracted significant attention for its potential anti-cancer applications. Hybanthus enneaspermus is a medicinal herb widely used in India as a natural libido enhancer, and a previous study indicated that it may contain cyclotides. In the current study, 11 novel cyclotides and one known cyclotide (cycloviolacin O2) were identified and isolated from H. enneaspermus. Their sequences were determined using tandem MS, and NMR analysis of six of these cyclotides indicates their three-dimensional structures are similar to those of other known cyclotides. The most abundant cyclotide in this plant, hyen D, has comparable cytotoxicity against cancer cells to cycloviolacin O2, the most cytotoxic cyclotide discovered so far. Herein we provide a mechanistic insight into the mode-of-action of the novel cyclotides’ cytotoxicity. Hyen D, E, L, M, and cycloviolacin O2 preferentially interacted with model lipid membranes containing phospholipids with phosphatidylethanolamine-headgroups, as measured by surface plasmon resonance. Cyclotide-membrane interactions correlated with cytotoxicity, suggesting that membrane binding underpins cytotoxicity. Overall, this study helps broaden knowledge on the indigenous Indian herb H. enneaspermus, and reports the discovery of novel cyclotides with potent anti-cancer activity.

Transcriptome comparison of active and regressed testes of Microtus duodecimcostatus

Project description:We also study the changes occurring in the testes of Mediterranean pine mice living in the wastelands during the breeding cycle. The transcriptomic analysis of active and regressed testis show that several molecular pathways that operate in Sertoli cells, involved in the control of spermatogenesis and BTB dynamics, are deregulated in the inactive gonad, and that the immuno privilege of the testes is lost during the non-breeding season.

Venom composition and pain-causing toxins of the Australian great carpenter bee Xylocopa aruana

Project description:Most species of bee are capable of delivering a defensive sting which is often painful. A solitary lifestyle is the ancestral state of bees and most extant species are solitary, but information on bee venoms comes predominantly from studies on eusocial species. In this study we investigated the venom composition of the Australian great carpenter bee, Xylocopa aruana Ritsema, 1876. We show that the venom is relatively simple, composed mainly of one small amphipathic peptide (XYTX1-Xa1a), with lesser amounts of an apamin homologue (XYTX2-Xa2a) and a venom phospholipase-A2 (PLA2). XYTX1-Xa1a is homologous to, and shares a similar mode-of-action to melittin and the bombilitins, the major components of the venoms of the eusocial Apis mellifera (Western honeybee) and Bombus spp. (bumblebee), respectively. XYTX1-Xa1a and melittin directly activate mammalian sensory neurons and cause spontaneous pain behaviours in vivo, effects which are potentiated in the presence of venom PLA2. The apamin-like peptide XYTX2-Xa2a was a relatively weak blocker of small conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels and, like A. mellifera apamin and mast cell-degranulating peptide, did not contribute to pain behaviours in mice. While the composition and mode-of-action of the venom of X. aruana are similar to that of A. mellifera, the greater potency, on mammalian sensory neurons, of the major pain-causing component in A. mellifera venom may represent an adaptation to the distinct defensive pressures on eusocial Apidae.

Integration of genome-wide approaches identifies lncRNAs of adult neural stem cells and their progeny in vivo [RNA CaptureSeq]

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been described in cell lines and various whole tissues, but lncRNA analysis of development in vivo is limited. Here, we comprehensively analyze lncRNA expression for the adult mouse subventricular zone neural stem cell lineage. We utilize complementary genome-wide techniques including RNA-seq, RNA CaptureSeq, and ChIP-seq to associate specific lncRNAs with neural cell types, developmental processes, and human disease states. By integrating data from chromatin state maps, custom microarrays, and FACS purification of the subventricular zone lineage, we stringently identify lncRNAs with potential roles in adult neurogenesis. shRNA-mediated knockdown of two such lncRNAs, Six3os and Dlx1as, indicate roles for lncRNAs in the glial-neuronal lineage specification of multipotent adult stem cells. Our data and workflow thus provide a uniquely coherent in vivo lncRNA analysis and form the foundation of a user-friendly online resource for the study of lncRNAs in development and disease. RNA CaptureSeq was perfomed on RNA extracted from adult mouse subventricular zone to better characterize rare lncRNA isoforms. Genomic regions used to design capture array are included in the raw file target_regions.bed.

De novo transcriptome assembly and characterization of nine tissues of Lonicera japonica to identify potential candidate genes involved in chlorogenic acid, luteolosides, and secoiridoid biosynthesis pathways

Project description:In this study, we performed de novo transcriptome assembly for L. japonica, representing transcripts from nine different tissues. A total of 22Gbps clean RNA-seq reads from nine tissues of L. japonica were used, resulting in 243,185 unigenes, with 99,938 unigenes annotated based on homology search using blastx against NCBI-nr protein database. Unsupervised principal component analysis and correlation studies using transcripts expression data from all nine tissues of L. japonica showed relationships between tissues explaining their association at different developmental stages. Homologs for all genes associated with chlorogenic acid, luteolin, and secoiridoid biosynthesis pathways were identified in the L. japonica transcriptome assembly. Expression of unigenes associated with chlorogenic acid were enriched in stem and leaf-2, unigenes from luteolin were enriched in stem and flowers, while unigenes from secoiridoid metabolic pathways were enriched in leaf-1 and shoot apex. Our results showed that different tissues of L. japonica are enriched with sets of unigenes associated with a specific pharmaceutically important metabolic pathways, and therefore, possess unique medicinal properties. Present study will serve as a resource for future attempts for functional characterization of enzyme coding genes within key metabolic processes.

RNA-seq transcriptome analysis of Panax japonicus, and its comparison with other Panax species to identify potential genes involved in the saponins biosynthesis

Project description:In this study, we have performed Illumina based RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptome and expression profiles of genes expressed in 5 tissues of P. japonicus. RNA sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly for P. japonicus resulted in a total of 135,235 unigenes with 78,794 (58.24%) unigenes being annotated using NCBI-nr database. Transcriptome profile and GO enrichment analysis for 5 tissues of P. japonicus showed that although each tissue was characterized by several unique unigenes with leaf showing the most unique unigenes among all, overall processes were evenly conserved across all tissues. Examination of 5 tissues of Panax japonicus
