Project description:Molecular phylogenomics investigates evolutionary relationships based on genomic data. However, despite genomic sequence conservation, changes in protein interactions can occur relatively rapidly and may cause strong functional diversification. To investigate such functional evolution, we here combine phylogenomics with interaction proteomics. We develop this concept by investigating the molecular evolution of the shelterin complex, which protects telomeres, across 16 vertebrate species from zebrafish to humans covering 450 million years of evolution. Our phylointeractomics screen discovers previously unknown telomere-associated proteins and reveals how homologous proteins undergo functional evolution. For instance, we show that TERF1 evolved as a telomere-binding protein in the common stem lineage of marsupial and placental mammals. Phylointeractomics is a versatile and scalable approach to investigate evolutionary changes in protein function and thus can provide experimental evidence for phylogenomic relationships.

Project description:The host range of parasites is an important factor in assessing the dynamics of disease epidemics. The evolution of pathogens to accommodate new hosts may lead to host range expansion, a process the molecular bases of which are largely enigmatic. The fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum parasitizes more than 400 plant species from diverse eudicot families while its close relative, S. trifoliorum, is restricted to plants from the Fabaceae family. We analyzed S. sclerotiorum global transcriptome reprogramming on hosts from six botanical families and reveal a flexible, host-specific transcriptional program driven by core and host-response co-expression (SPREx) gene clusters. We generated a chromosome-level genome assembly for S. trifoliorum and found near-complete gene space conservation in broad and narrow host range Sclerotinia species. However, S. trifoliorum showed increased sensitivity to the Brassicaceae defense compound camalexin. Inter-specific transcriptome analyses revealed a lack of transcriptional response to camalexin in S. trifoliorum and provide evidence that cis-regulatory variation associates with the genetic accommodation of Brassicaceae in the Sclerotinia host range. Our work demonstrates adaptive plasticity of a broad host range pathogen with specific responses to different host plants and demonstrates the co-existence of signatures for generalist and polyspecialist life styles in the genome of a plant pathogen. We reason that this mechanism enables the emergence of new disease with no or limited gene flow between strains and species, and could underlie the emergence of new epidemics originating from wild plants in agricultural settings.

Project description:Plethodontid salamanders are the largest family of salamanders and are classic models for studying the effect of rapidly evolving courtship pheromones on mating behavior and reproductive success. Despite interests in plethodontid reproduction, very little is known about the molecular composition of salamander gametes, as the extraordinary sizes of their genomes have impaired the development of various omic-scale resources. To identify what proteins may be expressed in salamander sperm, we performed DIA-MS on sperm samples from two plethodontid species, Plethodon shermani and Desmognathus ocoee. As the first detailed study of salamander sperm, this study partially fills in a critical taxonomic gap in the study of fertilization proteins in vertebrates.

Project description:Male offspring resulting from interbreeding of genetically diverged populations are frequently infertile or subfertile due to failures in chromosome pairing. The resulting reproductive isolation of the two populations represents an early step in speciation. In inter-subspecific mouse hybrids, the binding of the histone methyltransferase PRDM9 to both chromosome homologues at matching positions is important for successful chromosome pairing. This mechanistic property underpins Prdm9’s role as an important speciation gene, the only one yet identified in vertebrates. Here we show that this behaviour holds true for more distant evolutionary relationships across the species barrier. By altering PRDM9’s binding pattern, we restore fertility in hybrids of distinct species.

Project description:PFGRC has developed a cost effective alternative to complete genome sequencing in order to study the genetic differences between closely related species and/or strains. The comparative genomics approach combines Gene Discovery (GD) and Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) techniques, resulting in the design and production of species microarrays that represent the diversity of a species beyond just the sequenced reference strain(s) used in the initial microarray design. These species arrays may then be used to interrogate hundreds of closely related strains in order to further unravel their evolutionary relationships. Infectious diarrhea is a leading worldwide cause of infant mortality and secondary malnutrition. Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) is a principal etiology of travelers?diarrhea and a major endemic health threat, especially among children in developing nations where it is estimated to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. Vaccine development for ETEC has been significantly hampered by the remarkable genetic plasticity of E. coli, a comparatively modest understanding of the basic pathogenesis of these organisms, and an uncertainty regarding the degree to which any given antigenic target might be conserved. While experimental and epidemiologic data suggest that a broadly protective vaccine can be achieved, this will most effectively be accomplished in a research environment that fosters sharing of vital resources and open, collaborative interactions among multiple investigators. The proposed project is aimed at providing critical leverage to ongoing international investigative efforts pertaining to ETEC pathogenesis and vaccinology. The flow of genetic information within this group motivated us to identify novel genes for the purpose of creating a species DNA microarray to better understand the ancestral relationships among its members. Based on preliminary MLST genotyping, 11 diverse ETEC strains were selected for sequencing. Sequence information obtained from this project, and from other publicly available sources, led to the development of a comprehensive species microarray for ETEC group members. The availability of the ETEC species DNA microarray has allowed us to carry out a collaborative CGH genotyping project to validate this microarray as well as understand the phylogenomic relationships among members of ETEC group.
