Project description:Seminal fluid protein (SFP) composition is complex and commonly assumed to be rapidly divergent due to functional interactions with both sperm and the female reproductive tract (FRT), both of which evolve rapidly. In addition to sperm, seminal fluid may contain structures, such as mating plugs and spermatophores. Here, we investigate the evolutionary diversification of a lesser-known ejaculate structure: the spermatostyle, which has independently arisen in several families of beetles and true bugs. We characterized the spermatostyle proteome, in addition to spermatostyle and FRT morphology, in six species of whirligig beetles (family Gyrinidae). Spermatostyles were enriched for proteolytic enzymes, and assays confirmed they possess proteolytic activity. Sperm leucyl aminopeptidases (S-LAPs) were particularly abundant, and their localization to spermatostyles was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Although there was evidence for functional conservation of spermatostyle proteomes across species, phylogenetic regressions suggest evolutionary covariation between protein composition and the morphology of both spermatostyles and FRTs. We postulate that S-LAPs (and other proteases) have evolved a novel structural role in spermatostyles and discuss spermatostyles as adaptations for delivering male-derived materials to females.

Project description:Muscle development and diversity require a large number of spatially and temporally regulated events controlled by transcription factors (TFs). Drosophila has long stood as a model organism to study myogenesis due to the highly conserved key TFs involved at all stages of muscle development, from specification to differentiation. While many studies focused on the diversification of Drosophila larval musculature, how distinct adult muscle types are generated is much less characterised. Here, we identify a novel essential regulator of Drosophila thoracic flight muscle development, the Hox TF Antennapedia (Antp). Correcting a long standing misconception that flight muscle development occurs without the input of Hox TFs, we show that Antp intervenes at several stages of adult flight muscle development, from the establishment of the progenitor pool in the embryo to myoblast differentiation in the early pupa. Furthermore, the precisely regulated clearance of Hox at the pupal stage in the developing indirect flight muscle fibers is required to allow for stretch-activated fibrillar muscle fate diversification that sets these flight muscles apart from all other adult tubular muscle types.

Project description:Loss of flight is recurrently observed in flying species and markedly abates threats to human health and agricultural production posed by flying pests. However, our understanding of the flight organs involved remains limited. The silkworm Bombyx mori, a lepidopteran model insect, loses flight most recently, while the Bombyx mandarina capable of flight, therefore it is a good model for studying flight loss. Here, we represent the first description of the spatiotemporal architecture of Bombyx flight organs. We demonstrated that the weakened cellular function of NFDCs and FECs determining the flight energy and wing vein and flight muscle development largely result in flight loss in B. mori, and single-cell analyses of cotton bollworm flight organs and RNA interference (RNAi) of key genes validated these findings, and the cellular and molecular determinants of flight may be conserved across Lepidoptera. These findings will contribute to the understanding of flight loss encountered in flying species.
