Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

Project description:Fireflies and their fascinating luminous courtships have inspired centuries of scientific study. Today firefly luciferase is widely used in biotechnology, but the evolutionary origin of their bioluminescence remains unclear. To shed light on this long-standing question, we sequenced the genomes of two firefly species that diverged over 100 million-years-ago: the North American Photinus pyralis and Japanese Aquatica lateralis. To compare bioluminescent origins, we also sequenced the genome of a related click-beetle, the Caribbean Ignelater luminosus, with bioluminescent biochemistry near-identical to fireflies, but anatomically unique light organs, suggesting the intriguing but contentious hypothesis of parallel gains of bioluminescence. Our analyses support two independent gains of bioluminescence between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide new insights into the genes, chemical defenses, and symbionts that evolved alongside their luminous lifestyle.

Ancient origin and dynamic evolution of bivalent spider toxins

Project description:Bivalent peptide toxins comprising two cysteine-rich domains have evolved from single-domain precursors on multiple occasions in animal venoms, resulting in enhanced molecular target selectivity and avidity. Although bivalent toxins are emerging as prevalent in animal venoms, the genomic and evolutionary processes driving the transitions between single- and multi-domain architectures remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the evolution of bivalent inhibitor cystine knot (ICK) toxins in spider venom. We first generated generate a genome assembly of the tree-dwelling funnel-web spider Hadronyche cerberea, revealing a massive expansion of ICK toxin-encoding genes, including the bivalent π-hexatoxin-Hc1a. All ICK toxin genes share a conserved three-exon-structure, flanked by transposable elements (TEs) that may have facilitated gene expansion. This gene structure is shared by the Hc1a family, where the entire mature bivalent toxin is encoded by the third exon. Leveraging de novo transcriptome assemblies of 86 spider species along with venom proteomic data, we show that bivalency in the Hc1a family is of ancient origin, but with recurrent domain expansions and losses due to point mutations, deletions, and unequal crossing-over facilitated by high interdomain sequence similarity. In contrast, the bivalent toxin DkTx from Cyriopagopus schmidti appears to have evolved once in a restricted group of tarantulas. While we also find here multiple domain loss events, these are potentially facilitated by TEs as opposed to pseudogenisation or unequal crossing over. Our findings reveal that singular events of domain duplication can give rise to complex, asymmetrical evolutionary trajectories shaped by gene instability and selective retention of functional domains.

Isolation and Characterization of Clonal Adult Human Brown Adipocytes

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) evolved in mammals as a natural defence system against hypothermia and obesity. While existence of BAT in adult humans has been recently appreciated, its cellular origin and molecular identity remain elusive due in large to high cellular heterogeneity within adipose tissues. Here we isolated clonal adipocytes from adult human BAT as well as WAT (control) and critically analyzed their transcriptome to identify bona fide BAT markers and its new functions.
