Project description:Background: Gonad differentiation is an essential function for all sexually reproducing species, and many aspects of these developmental processes are highly conserved among the metazoa. The colonial ascidian, Botryllus schlosseri is a chordate model organism which offers two unique traits that can be utilized to characterize the genes underlying germline development: a colonial life history and variable fertility. These properties allow individual genotypes to be isolated at different stages of fertility and gene expression can be characterized comprehensively. Results: Here we characterized the transcriptome of both fertile and infertile colonies throughout blastogenesis (asexual development) using differential expression analysis. We identified genes (as few as 7 and as many as 647) regulating fertility in Botryllus at each stage of blastogenesis. Several of these genes appear to drive gonad maturation, as they are expressed by follicle cells surrounding both testis and oocyte precursors. Spatial and temporal expression of differentially expressed genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization, confirming expression in developing gonads. Conclusion: We have identified several genes expressed in developing and mature gonads in B. schlosseri. Analysis of genes upregulated in fertile animals suggests a high level of conservation of the mechanisms regulating fertility between basal chordates and vertebrates.

Project description:A genomic overview of in vivo binding of a transcription factor ZicL in the ascidian gastrula embryo. ZicL is a key regulator of the early ascidian development, and so called 'master-regulatory genes' for mesodermal and neural tissues are under the control of ZicL. Keywords: ChIP-chip

Project description:Coral reefs worldwide are facing rapid decline due to coral bleaching. However, knowledge of the physiological characteristics and molecular mechanisms of coral symbionts respond to stress is scarce. Here, metagenomic and metaproteomic approach were utilized to shed light on the changes in the composition and functions of coral symbionts during coral bleaching. The results demonstrated that coral bleaching significantly affected the composition of symbionts, with bacterial communities dominating in bleached corals. Difference analysis of gene and protein indicated that symbiont functional disturbances in response to heat stress, resulting in abnormal energy metabolism that could potentially compromise symbiont health and resilience. Furthermore, our findings highlighted the highly diverse microbial communities of coral symbionts, with beneficial bacteria provide critical services to corals in stress responses, while pathogenic bacteria drive coral bleaching. This study provides comprehensive insights into the complex response mechanisms of coral symbionts under thermal stress and offers fundamental data for future monitoring of coral health.

Project description:Host-microbe interactions are virtually bidirectional, benefiting both the host and microbial sides. It is becoming increasingly recognized the influence of the microbe on many aspects of host physiology and diseases, but whether/how the host affects their symbionts is poorly characterized. Here, we reported that the host acts as a critical factor to shape the lifestyle of their symbionts in the Drosophila and bacteria model system. First, we observe that Drosophila larvae play a pivotal role in competing with pathogenic symbionts in the co-existing niche. More specifically, host larvae antagonize symbionts by deconstructing the surface slick, preventing outgrowth and antagonizing the pathogenicity of S. marcescens. Furthermore, Drosophila larvae cause the shift in the transcriptomic profile of S. marcescens, characterized with the upregulated expression of genes related to bacterial proliferation and growth and the downregulated expression of genes related to bacterial pathogenicity. More importantly, advances in bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing provide opportunities to reveal transcriptional variation, including toxic factors, across individual cells and a subpopulation clustering of isogenic bacterial populations. Finally, we found that AMPs from larvae recapitulated the response of S. marcescens to the presence of Drosophila larvae. Altogether, these findings provide an insight into the pivotal roles of the host in influencing the potential pathogens' lifecycle switching from commensalism to pathogenicity, opening the door to a better understanding of the ecological relationships between the host and microbe.

Project description:There is growing evidence that microbial plant symbionts shape interactions between plants and other organisms by modulating gene expression and metabolism. However, the detailed mechanisms mediating such effects are not well understood, particularly in systems where plants interact simultaneously with multiple symbionts and antagonists. In this study, we employed a multi-factorial design to explore the individual and combined effects of two plant-beneficial rhizobacteria (Delftia acidovorans and Bradyrhizobium japonicum) and a pathogen (Bean pod mottle virus: BPMV) on gene expression and metabolite production by soybean plants, as well as downstream effects on plant interactions with a beetle vector of BPMV Epilachna varivestis. Our results document microbial effects on basic metabolism and defense pathways, resulting in increased levels of primary metabolites and depletion of secondary metabolites. These changes are consistent with the observed feeding preferences of beetles for rhizobia- inoculated and virus-infected plants, potentially increasing the likelihood to disperse the virus to uninfected plants. Together, our results indicate that BPMV infection and rhizobacteria colonization cause dramatic changes in plant metabolites related to nutrition and defense, with significant consequences for an agriculturally important pathosystem.
