The seminal proteome of a monandrous fly, Drosophila subobscura

ABSTRACT: We identify the seminal fluid proteins in a monandrous fly, Drosophila subobscura, using a label-free quantitative proteomics approach. The accessory glands and ejaculatory ducts of mated and unmated flies were dissected. Tissues from 10 males were pooled for each sample of mated and unmated males and there were 5 samples per mating treatment. We identified proteins that had significantly higher abundance in unmated than mated males. These proteins were likely to be transferred to females during mating and so represent the candidate seminal fluid proteins.

A male-specific steroid hormone controls female reproductive biology in the malaria mosquito

Project description:Insects, unlike vertebrates, are generally believed to lack steroid hormones with functions predominantly associated with adult male biology. In the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the ecdysteroid 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) appears to both control egg development in females and induce mating refractoriness and oviposition when sexually transferred by males. Here we show that these sex-specific functions are instead carried out by distinct steroids. We identify a male-specific oxidized form of 20E (3D20E) that upon sexual transfer switches off female mating receptivity, ensuring male paternity. Endogenous female 20E does not induce mating refractoriness, while it triggers oviposition in mated females when expression of a 20E-inhibiting kinase is repressed. 3D20E and 20E have different downstream targets, with 3D20E inducing expression of a tolerance factor that preserves female fitness during Plasmodium infection. The evolution of this male steroid has therefore not only shaped the mating biology of An. gambiae, but also impacted malaria transmission.

Effects of mating on gene expression profiles of mature ant queens

Project description:Will be added/updated once the manuscript is finalized. Cardiocondyla obscurior queens. Three treatments: virgin queens, queens mated by real males, queens sham-mated (by sterile males). Queens collected 1 week and 8 week after mating. seven loops for queens collected 1 week after mating; nine loops for queens collected 8 weeks after mating. Five direct comparisons (with dye-swaps... so 10 arrays) were done of between 1 week and 8 week samples of queens mated by real males. Each sample is RNA from two queens (from different colonies). Samples were hybridized against Solenopsis invicta microarrays (signal was detectable for most clones!)

Dynamic variation in ejaculate expenditure and seminal fluid proteome over a mating sequence: the signature of female novelty and male social status in red junglefowl

Project description:Seminal fluid sample were collected from dominant and subdominant males who were re peatedly mated to first female followed by a mating to the novel second female. The goal in to monitor seminal fluid investment and composition changed dynamically over the successive matings. Our results indicate that ejaculate expenditure over a mating sequence is associated with dynamic SFP changes driven by a combination of depletion and strategic allocation.

Mating precedes selective immune priming which is maintained throughout bumblebee queen diapause

Project description:Diapause is a key life-history event characterised by arrested development, suppressed metabolism and increased stress tolerance. This state allows an organism to avoid prolonged periods of harsh and inhospitable environmental conditions. For species where only mated female adults undergo diapause, mating is performed prior to diapause. Mating can have a profound effect on the behaviour and physiology of females resulting in changes to the expression of key biological processes, including immunity. However, our understanding of how mating impacts long-term immunity and whether these effects persist throughout diapause is currently limited. Here we explored proteomic changes in the haemolymph of the ecologically important pollinator, Bombus terrestris. B. terrestris queens mate prior to diapause (a non-feeding arrest of development that can last 6-9 months). Using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, we quantified changes in the pre-diapause queen haemolymph after mating, as well as the subsequent protein expression of mated queens during and post-diapause. Our results provide clear molecular evidence for the consequences and benefits of mating at the immune level through the selective increased abundance of antimicrobial peptides that are sustained throughout diapause. In addition our results provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms by which bumblebees prepare for, survive, and recover from diapause, insights that may have implications for our general understanding of these processes in other insect groups.

Drosophila males differentially express small proteins regulating stem cell division frequency in response to mating

Project description:: The germline stem cells (GSCs) in the male gonad of Drosophila can increase their division frequency in response to a demand for more sperm caused by repeated mating. However, the molecules and mechanisms regulating and mediating this response have yet to be fully explored. Here, we present the results of a transcriptome analysis comparing expression from the testis tips from non-mated and mated males. An overlapping set of 18 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from two independent wild-type (wt) strains revealed that the majority of the DEGs encode secreted proteins, which suggests roles for them in cell-cell interactions. Consistent with a role for secretion in regulating GSC divisions, knocking down Signal Recognition Particle (SRP) components within the germline cells using RNA Interference (RNAi), prevented the increase in GSC division frequency in response to mating. The major class of DEGs encodes polypeptides below the size of 250 amino acids, also known as small proteins. Upon reducing germline expression of small proteins, males no longer increased GSC division frequency after repeated mating. We hypothesize that mating induces cellular interactions via small proteins to ensure continued GSC divisions for the production of sperm.
