Black, red and white: characterization of painting materials on a group of Bwa masks from Burkina Faso, proteomics

ABSTRACT: The distinctive and visually striking wooden masks associated with the Bwa culture in Burkina Faso, West Africa, are carved from a soft wood into different shapes and display various geometrical patterns and symbols according to the purpose. One of their characteristic features is the use of the colors black, red and white, which evoke the three major rivers crossing the country: the Black, Red and White Voltas. According to published accounts of scholars who have worked directly with the artists, the materials used to obtain these colors include reptile excrement for the white, iron-rich stones powdered and mixed with egg or plant gums for the red, and boiled Acacia seed pods for the black, as well as modern materials such as enamel paint in some cases. A group of four Bwa masks in the Arts of Africa collection of the Art Institute of Chicago was investigated using a complement of analytical techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry, and mass spectrometry based proteomics to characterize their painting materials. The results obtained corroborate the published accounts, while also providing new insights into the nature of the coloring materials and the selection and substitution of pigments and binders. These findings highlight the complementary value of scientific research, in combination with field work and artists’ accounts, to generate a fuller understanding and appreciation of this traditional artistic practice.

Affymetrix SNP array data for Dwarf and Rhode Island Red chicken samples

Project description:The genetic foundation of chicken tail feather color is not very well studied to date, though that of body feather color is extensively explored. In the present study, we used a synthetic chicken dwarf line (DW), which was originated from the hybrids between a black tail chicken breed, Rhode Island Red (RIR) and a white tail breed, Dwarf Layer (DL), to understand the genetic rules of the white/black tail color. The DW line still contain the individuals with black or white tails, even if the body feather are predominantly red, after more than ten generation of self-crossing and being selected for the body feather color. We firstly performed four crosses using the DW line chickens including black tail male to female, reciprocal crosses between the black and white, and white male to female to elucidate the inheritance pattern of the white/black tail. We found that (i) the white/black tail feather colors are independent of body feather color and (ii) the phenotype are autosomal simple trait and (iii) the white are dominant to the black in the DW lines. Furtherly, we performed a genome-wide association (GWA) analysis to determine the candidate genomic regions underlying the tail feather color by using black tail chickens from the RIR and DW chickens and white individuals from DW lines.

Cyprinus carpio 'koi' Raw sequence reads

Project description:Genome-wide analysis of skin color-related lncRNA and mRNA expression in Koi carp, Cyprinus carpio L. LncRNAs information linked to fish skin color regulation is over-limited. In this study, Illumina sequencing and bioinformatics were primarily conducted on black, white and red skin colors of Koi carp. A total of 590,415,050 clean reads, 446,614 putative transcripts, 4,252 known and 72,907 novel lncRNAs were simultaneously obtained, respectively. Out of these genes, 92 significant differentially expressed lncRNAs and 722 mRNAs were excavated. Ccr_lnc5622441, Ccr_lnc765201 were found up-regulated in black and red skins; Ccr_lnc14074601 were up-regulated in white skin; and premelanosome proteins a (Pmela), tyrosinase (Tyr) were up-regulated in black skin, etc. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) further validated 12 differentially expressed genes were consistent with RNA-seq. Moreover, 70 lncRNAs on 107 target mRNAs in cis and 79 lncRNAs on 41,625 target mRNAs in trans were investigated, the networks revealed one lncRNAs can connected with numerous mRNAs, vice versa. These findings broadened the lncRNAs landscape of skin colors and provided new insights into the mechanisms underlying lncRNAs mediated pigmentation and differentiation in Koi carp.

Skin transcriptome profiles associated with skin color in chickens

Project description:This work was to study the transcriptome profiles in the skin of chickens with black versus white skin using high-throughput RNA deep-sequencing technology, to investigate the different expression profiles of the genes involved in skin pigmentation, then look for the main differences between black and white skin colors in Lueyang chickens. 16-week-old white and black female Lueyang chickens (5 birds per color) were selected for the sample collection. A piece of skin (8 mm in diameter) from the left back was collected . Total RNA was extracted from the sample using Trizol reagent . Three RNA samples from either the black or white skin samples were pooled following mRNA isolation. The sequencing of the library was performed using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 (LianChuan Sciences, Hangzhou, China). According the result of sequencing, some colored gene expressions were validated using Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).

Proteome profiling highlights mechanisms underlying pigment and tocopherol accumulation in red and black rice seeds

Project description:Rice is a major component of the human diet and feeds more than 50 million people across the globe. Therefore, efforts are being made to improve the nutritional quality of rice seeds in order to make a super-rice cultivar rich in antioxidants and vitamins. We previously developed two rice cultivars, Super-hongmi (red seeds) and Super-jami (black seeds), that were highly rich in antioxidants and exhibited high levels of radical scavenging activities. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the color development and accumulation of different antioxidants in these rice cultivars remains largely elusive. Here, we report the proteome profiles of mature Super-hongmi, and Super-jami seeds and compared with the Hopum (white seeds) using a label-free quantitative proteomics approach. This approach led to the identification of 5127 rice seed proteins of which 1628 showed significant changes (ANOVA, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR ≤ 0.01, fold change ≥ 1.5). Functional annotation of the differentially modulated proteins led to the identification of a phytoene desaturase (PDS3) that was highly enriched in the red seeds and was decreased in the black seeds as compared to the control white seeds. PDS3 is involved in the conversion of phytoene to ζ-carotene which may be responsible for the accumulation of red color in red seeds. Moreover, black seeds seem to accumulate higher levels of anthocyanins because of the higher abundance of dihydroflavonol 4-reductase. In addition, proteins associated with lignin and tocopherol biosynthesis were found to be highly increased in both red and black cultivars. Taken together, these data report the seed proteome of three different colored rice seeds and identify novel components associated with pigment accumulation.
