20-Hydroxyecdysone mediated activation of larval haemolymph protein uptake by fat body cells of Corcyra cephalonica (Insecta)

Evidence is presented here to show that 20-hydroxyecdysone is essential for the activation of the larval fat body for differential uptake of larval haemolymph proteins (LHPs). By using radiolabelled LHPs it is shown that the fat body cells of Corcyra cephalonica selectively incorporate LHPs during late-larval and prepupal development. Fluorographic analysis of the labelled fat body proteins from prepupal stage separated on sodium dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gels suggests that the LHPs are sequestered without any degradation. Although, during the last larval instar the uptake of all the three LHPs (LHP 1, LHP 2 and LHP 3) by the fat body cells is very low, 20-hydroxyecdysone treatment of early, mid or late-last instars causes a significant increase in uptake of all the three LHPs. However, the response to hormone treatment was more pronounced in late-last instar when compared to early and mid-last instar.     

Juvenile hormone inhibits the synthesis of major larval haemolymph proteins in rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica

Larval haemolymph proteins (LHP), LHP49 and LHP46 are produced in the penultimate and last larval instars. Starvation during the early and mid stage of last instar development prevents the production of both LHPs. Decapitation in early and mid last instar stimulates LHP synthesis and their concentration in haemolymph increases, while ligation in last instar larvae blocks the production of LHPs. Application of exogenous JH lowers the synthesis of LHP49 and LHP46 in Corcyra. These observations suggests that LHP49 and LHP46 synthesis is activated during the periods when JH titres are either low or undetectable.     

Domain evolution in the GH13 pullulanase subfamily with focus on the carbohydrate-binding module family 48

Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 comprises about 30 different specificities. Four of them have been proposed to form the GH13 pullulanase subfamily: pullulanase, isoamylase, maltooligosyl trehalohydrolase and branching enzyme forming the seven CAZy GH13 subfamilies: GH13 8-GH13 14. Recently, a new family of carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), the family CBM48 has been established containing the putative starch-binding domains from the pullulanase subfamily, the β-subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase and some other GH13 enzymes with pullulanase and/or α-amylase-pullulanase specificity. Since all of these enzymes are multidomain proteins and the structure for at least one representative of each enzyme specificity has already been determined, the main goal of the present study was to elucidate domain evolution within this GH13 pullulanase subfamily (84 real enzymes) focusing on the CBM48 module. With regard to CBM48 positioning in the amino acid sequence, the N-terminal end of a protein appears to be a predominant position. This is especially true for isoamylases and maltooligosyl trehalohydrolases. Secondary structure-based alignment of CBM modules from CBM48, CBM20 and CBM21 revealed that several residues known as consensus for CBM20 and CBM21 could also be identified in CBM48, but only branching enzymes possess the aromatic residues that correspond with the two tryptophans forming the evolutionary conserved starch-binding site 1 in CBM20. The evolutionary trees constructed for the individual domains, complete alignment, and the conserved sequence regions of the α-amylase family were found to be comparable to each other (except for the C-domain tree) with two basic parts: (i) branching enzymes and maltooligosyl trehalohydrolases; and (ii) pullulanases and isoamylases. Taxonomy was respected only within clusters with pure specificity, i.e. the evolution of CBM48 reflects the evolution of specificities rather than evolution of species. This is a feature different from the one observed for the starch-binding domain of the family CBM20 where the starch-binding domain evolution reflects the evolution of species.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arabidopsis</Emphasis> LHP1 protein is a component of euchromatin

The HP1 family proteins are involved in several aspects of chromatin function and regulation in Drosophila, mammals and the fission yeast. Here we investigate the localization of LHP1, the unique Arabidopsis thaliana HP1 homolog known at present time, to approach its function. A functional LHP1–GFP fusion protein, able to restore the wild-type phenotype in the lhp1 mutant, was used to analyze the subnuclear distribution of LHP1 in both A. thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum. In A. thaliana interphase nuclei, LHP1 was predominantly located outside the heterochromatic chromocenters. No major aberrations were observed in heterochromatin content or chromocenter organization in lhp1 plants. These data indicate that LHP1 is mainly involved in euchromatin organization in A. thaliana. In tobacco BY-2 cells, the LHP1 distribution, although in foci, slightly differed suggesting that LHP1 localization is determined by the underlying genome organization of plant species. Truncated LHP1 proteins expressed in vivo allowed us to determine the function of the different segments in the localization. The in foci distribution is dependent on the presence of the two chromo domains, whereas the hinge region has some nucleolus-targeting properties. Furthermore, like the animal HP1β and HP1γ subtypes, LHP1 dissociates from chromosomes during mitosis. In transgenic plants expressing the LHP1–GFP fusion protein, two major localization patterns were observed according to cell types suggesting that localization evolves with age or differentiation states. Our results show conversed characteristics of the A. thaliana HP1 homolog with the mammal HP1γ isoform, besides specific plant properties.     

Effect of ursolic acid, a triterpenoid antioxidant, on ultraviolet-B radiation-induced cytotoxicity, lipid peroxidation and DNA damage in human lymphocytes

Exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB, 280-320) radiation induces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the biological system. In this study, we examined the protective effect of ursolic acid on UVB-induced lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage with reference to alterations in cellular antioxidant status in human lymphocytes. Series of in vitro tests (hydroxyl radical, superoxide, nitric oxide, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays) demonstrates antioxidant property of ursolic acid in our study. Treatment of lymphocytes with ursolic acid alone (at 10 microg/mL) gave no significant change in cell viability, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs), lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs), % tail DNA and tail moment when compared with normal lymphocytes. UVB-exposure significantly increased TBARS, LHP and % tail DNA, tail moment; decreased % cell viability and antioxidant status in irradiated lymphocytes. Treatment with ursolic acid 30 min prior to UVB-exposure resulted in a significant decline of TBARS, LHP, % tail DNA and tail moment and increased % cell viability as ursolic acid concentration increased. Based on our results we conclude that ursolic acid, a dietary antioxidant, mediates its protective effect through modulation of UVB-induced reactive oxygen species.     

Fine root architecture, morphology, and biomass of different branch orders of two Chinese temperate tree species

We have limited understanding of architecture and morphology of fine root systems in large woody trees. This study investigated architecture, morphology, and biomass of different fine root branch orders of two temperate tree species from Northeastern China—Larix gmelinii Rupr and Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr —by sampling up to five fine root branch orders three times during the 2003 growing season from two soil depths (i.e., 0–10 and.10–20 cm). Branching ratio (R _b) differed with the level of branching: R _b values from the fifth to the second order of branching were approximately three in both species, but markedly higher for the first two orders of branching, reaching a value of 10.4 for L. gmelinii and 18.6 for F. mandshurica. Fine root diameter, length, SRL and root length density not only had systematic changes with root order, but also varied significantly with season and soil depth. Total biomass per order did not change systematically with branch order. Compared to the second, third and/or fourth order, the first order roots exhibited higher biomass throughout the growing season and soil depths, a pattern related to consistently higher R _b values for the first two orders of branching than the other levels of branching. Moreover, the differences in architecture and morphology across order, season, and soil depth between the two species were consistent with the morphological disparity between gymnosperms and angiosperms reported previously. The results of this study suggest that root architecture and morphology, especially those of the first order roots, should be important for understanding the complexity and multi-functionality of tree fine roots with respect to root nutrient and water uptake, and fine root dynamics in forest ecosystems.     

Techniques for determining protein sequence evolution applied to primates

Each amino acid in a protein is considered to be an individual, mutable characteristic of the species from which the protein is extracted. For a branching tree representing the evolutionary history of the known sequences in different species, our computer programs use majority logic and parsimony of mutations to determine the most likely ancestral amino acid for each position of the protein at each node of the tree. The number of mutations necessary between the ancestral and present species is summed for each branch and the entire tree. The programs then move branches to make many different configurations, from which we select the one with the minimum number of mutations as the most likely evolutionary history. We used this method to elucidate primate phylogeny from sequences of fibrinopeptides, carbonic anhydrase, and the hemoglobin beta, delta and alpha chains. All available sequences indicate that the early Pongidae had diverged into two lines before the divergence of an ancestor for the human line alone. We have constructed some probable ancestral sequences at major points during primate evolution and have developed tentative trees showing the order of divergences and evolutionary distances among primate groups. Further questions on primate evolution could be answered in the future by the detemination of the appropriate sequences.     

Acetylcholinesterase genes within the Diptera: takeover and loss in true flies

It has recently been reported that the synaptic acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in mosquitoes is encoded by the ace-1 gene, distinct and divergent from the ace-2 gene, which performs this function in Drosophila. This is an unprecedented situation within the Diptera order because both ace genes derive from an old duplication and are present in most insects and arthropods. Nevertheless, Drosophila possesses only the ace-2 gene. Thus, a secondary loss occurred during the evolution of Diptera, implying a vital function switch from one gene (ace-1) to the other (ace-2). We sampled 78 species, representing 50 families (27% of the Dipteran families) spread over all major subdivisions of the Diptera, and looked for ace-1 and ace-2 by systematic PCR screening to determine which taxonomic groups within the Diptera have this gene change. We show that this loss probably extends to all true flies (or Cyclorrhapha), a large monophyletic group of the Diptera. We also show that ace-2 plays a non-detectable role in the synaptic AChE in a lower Diptera species, suggesting that it has non-synaptic functions. A relative molecular evolution rate test showed that the intensity of purifying selection on ace-2 sequences is constant across the Diptera, irrespective of the presence or absence of ace-1, confirming the evolutionary importance of non-synaptic functions for this gene. We discuss the evolutionary scenarios for the takeover of ace-2 and the loss of ace-1, taking into account our limited knowledge of non-synaptic functions of ace genes and some specific adaptations of true flies.     

Phylogenomic assessment of the role of hybridization and introgression in trait evolution

Trait evolution among a set of species—a central theme in evolutionary biology—has long been understood and analyzed with respect to a species tree. However, the field of phylogenomics, which has been propelled by advances in sequencing technologies, has ushered in the era of species/gene tree incongruence and, consequently, a more nuanced understanding of trait evolution. For a trait whose states are incongruent with the branching patterns in the species tree, the same state could have arisen independently in different species (homoplasy) or followed the branching patterns of gene trees, incongruent with the species tree (hemiplasy). Another evolutionary process whose extent and significance are better revealed by phylogenomic studies is gene flow between different species. In this work, we present a phylogenomic method for assessing the role of hybridization and introgression in the evolution of polymorphic or monomorphic binary traits. We apply the method to simulated evolutionary scenarios to demonstrate the interplay between the parameters of the evolutionary history and the role of introgression in a binary trait’s evolution (which we call xenoplasy). Very importantly, we demonstrate, including on a biological data set, that inferring a species tree and using it for trait evolution analysis in the presence of gene flow could lead to misleading hypotheses about trait evolution.     

ALLOZYME DIVERGENCE WITHIN THE BOVIDAE

We describe a phylogeny of the Bovidae based on 40 allozyme loci in 27 species, representing 10 of the 14 bovid tribes described by Vrba (1985). Giraffe represented a related family (Giraffidae). A phenogram was derived using the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA), based on Nei's genetic distances (ND) between species. A tree was also derived using the neighbor-joining technique, also based on ND. To provide a cladistic interpretation, the data were analyzed by a maximum parsimony method (phylogenetic analysis using parsimony, PAUP). We found marked divergence within the Bovidae, consistent with the appearance of the family in the early Miocene. Unexpectedly, the most divergent species was the impala, which occupied a basal position in all trees. Species in the tribe Alcelaphini were the most derived taxa in all trees. These patterns conflict strongly with the previous taxonomic alliance, based on immuno-distance and anatomical evidence, of the impala as a sister group of the Alcelaphini. All trees agreed that tribes described by Vrba (1985) are monophyletic, except the Neotragini, which was polyphyletic, with suni occupying a long branch by itself. The dikdik and klipspringer were consistently placed as sister taxa to species in the Antilopini. Three tribes (Aepycerotini, Tragelaphini and Cephalophini), whose fossils have not been found outside Africa, were basal in all trees, suggesting that bovids originated in Africa. Nodes connecting the remaining tribes were closely clustered, a pattern that agrees with fossil evidence of rapid divergence within the Bovidae in the mid-Miocene (about 15 mybp). The allozyme data suggested a second phase of rapid divergence within tribes during the Plio-Pleistocene, a pattern that also agrees with fossil evidence. Rates of bovid divergence have therefore been far from constant. However, the clustering of nodes imparts considerable uncertainty to the branching order leading to the derived tribes, and to a lesser extent, species within tribes. The classical division of the Bovidae into the Boodontia and Aegeodontia does not agree with the phylogenetic grouping of tribes presented in this analysis. However, the maximum parsimony tree derived using ‘local’ branch swapping clustered all grazing species into a derived, monophyletic group, suggesting that grazing may have evolved only once in bovid evolution.     

Slow evolution of transferrin and albumin in birds according to micro-complement fixation analysis

Summary Rabbit antisera were prepared to purified ovotransferrin from chicken (order Galliformes) and red-winged blackbird (order Passeriformes) and to purified serum albumin from chicken and rhea (order Rheiformes). Quantitative microcomplement fixation was used to compare these proteins immunologically with those of representatives of all 27 orders of birds. The average interordinal immunological distances were 123 units for transferrin and 53 units for albumin.Extensive intraordinal comparisons of transferrin among 51 species within the order Galliformes and 33 species within the order Passeriformes were also carried out. Values ranging from 0–75 immunological distance units were found within each order.Rabbit antisera to purified alligator albumin were also prepared and shown to react with representatives of all 27 orders of birds, the average immunological distance being 166 units.When the data presented here are considered in relation to the fossil record of birds, it appears that transferrin and albumin have evolved more slowly in birds than in other vertebrates. If prevailing interpretations of the fossil record are correct, transferrin has evolved 2–4 times as fast in mammals and snakes as in birds, while serum albumin has evolved about 3 times as fast in mammals, iguanids, crocodilians, and frogs as in birds. Published immunological and sequence comparisons of lysozyme and cytochromec are also consistent with a slower rate of evolution in birds than in other vertebrates. The implications of a general slowdown in the evolution of bird proteins are discussed.This research was supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health to A.

A genome evolution-based framework for measures of originality for clades

To evaluate the originality of a species for determining its conservation priority, most indices use the branching pattern and the branch length of a phylogenetic tree to represent the diversification pattern and the number of characters. One limitation of these indices is their lack of consideration of the dynamic process, such as character changes and distribution along lineages during evolution. In this study, we propose a robust framework incorporating the underlying dynamic processes under a framework of genome evolution to model character changes and distribution along different lineages in a given phylogenetic tree. Our framework provides a more transparent modeling, instead of the simple surrogates of branching pattern and branch length previously employed. Nonrandom extinction has been found to be clustered within old and species-poor clades, thus it is desirable to combine the evaluation of originality of clades, which will provide a more complete picture and a useful tool for setting global conservation priorities. Using a phylogenetic tree consisting of 70 species of New World terrestrial Carnivora, we demonstrate that the index derived from our framework can discern the difference in originality of clades. Moreover, we demonstrate that the originality of clades and species in a tree changes with different scenarios of dynamic processes, which were neglected by previous indices. We find that the originality of clades should be one of the criteria for setting global conservation priorities.     

Structural characterization of diabolic acid-based tetraester,tetraether and mixed ether/ester,membrane-spanning lipids of bacteria from the order <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thermotogales</Emphasis>

The distribution of core lipids in the membranes of nine different species of the order Thermotogales, one of the early and deep branching lineages in the Bacteria, were examined by HPLC/MS and demonstrated to consist of membrane-spanning diglycerol lipids comprised of diabolic acid-derived alkyl moieties. In the Thermotoga species the core membrane lipids are characterized by the presence of both ester and ether bonds, whereas in the phylogenetically more distinct Thermosipho and Fervidobacterium spp. only ester bonds occur. A tentative biosynthetic route for the biosynthesis of these membrane-spanning lipids is proposed. Since species of the order Thermotogales are assumed to have occurred early during the evolution of life on Earth, as suggested by its position in the phylogenetic tree of life, these data suggest that the ability to produce both ether and ester glycerol membrane lipids developed relatively early during microbial evolution.     

Mitochondrial DNA evolution in primates: Transition rate has been extremely low in the lemur

Summary Based on mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) sequence data from a wide range of primate species, branching order in the evolution of primates was inferred by the maximum likelihood method of Felsenstein without assuming rate constancy among lineages. Bootstrap probabilities for being the maximum likelihood tree topology among alternatives were estimated without performing a maximum likelihood estimation for each resampled data set. Variation in the evolutionary rate among lineages was examined for the maximum likelihood tree by a method developed by Kishino and Hasegawa. From these analyses it appears that the transition rate of mtDNA evolution in the lemur has been extremely low, only about 1/10 that in other primate lines, whereas the transversion rate does not differ significantly from that of other primates. Furthermore, the transition rate in catarrhines, except the gibbon, is higher than those in the tarsier and in platyrrhines, and the transition rate in the gibbon is lower than those in other catarrhines. Branching dates in primate evolution were estimated by a molecular clock analysis of mtDNA, taking into account the rate of variation among different lines, and the results were compared with those estimated from nuclear DNA. Under the most likely model, where the evolutionary rate of mtDNA has been unifrom within a great apes/human calde, human/chimpanzee clustering is preferred to the alternative branching orders among human, chimpanzee, and gorilla.     

An evolutionary model for the insect vitellins

Insects can be divided into three groups based on the sizes of the polypeptide constituents of their vitellogenins and vitellins. In order to determine the relationships between these groups, antisera to the vitellins of seven insects from six taxonomic orders were used to assess immunological cross-reactivity. Antigenic relatedness was observed only between vitellins from species within the same family. Amino acid compositional data for vitellins from nine species were used to assess homology by difference matrices. The SΔQ values were similar for both intra-order and inter-order comparisons and strongly suggested relatedness. The SΔ_n comparisons supported the immunological data that indicated that the vitellins were evolving rapidly. For most insect vitellins there are two distinct size classes of polypeptides that seem to be derived from a single asymmetric proteolytic cleavage of a precursor. We propose a model that suggests that the different size polypeptides represent distinct domains and that in the evolution of the vitellogenin genes of the Diptera and Hymenoptera there has been domain elimination.     

Isolation of two cDNA clones coding for larval hemolymph proteins of Galleria mellonella

Galleria mellonella a group of four larval hemolymph proteins (LHP) (74, 76, 81 and 82 kDa), which had been earlier shown to be storage proteins, exhibit a stage-specific synthetic pattern. The 82 kDa LHP is synthesized only in day-3 to day-5 last instar larvae, while the other three LHPs are synthesized both in the penultimate (six) and the last instar larvae. None of these LHPs are synthesized in day-0 last instar. With a view to isolate one or more cDNA clones corresponding to these LHPs a cDNA library was prepared in pBR322 starting with poly(A)⁺ RNA from day-5 last instar larval fat body. By differential screening of 714 clones with poly(A)⁺ RNA 39 day-5 larval stage-specific clones were isolated. Two of these clones, designated as 26–38 and 17–36, had 1200–1300 base pair cDNA inserts. Their cDNA inserts did cross hybridize to each other, exhibited different restriction endonuclease digestion patterns and hybridized in northern blots to transcrips of different sizes, thereby suggesting that they represent two separate genes. In addition, the genomic fragments that hybridized in southern blots to the two cDNAs differed in their size. On translation, mRNAs hybrid selected by 26–38 and 17–36 cDNAs produced 76 and 79 kDa polypeptides respectively. Both these genes are expressed in the fat body but not in the midgut, silk glands, Malpighian tubules or carcass. While 26–38 was expressed both in the sixth and seventh (last) instars, 17–36 was expressed only in the last instar. On the basis of tissue and developmental stage specificity of their expression and the sizes of their hybrid selected translation products, these clones are tentatively identified as two LHP-specific cDNA clones. The genes coding for these LHPs appear to be single copy genes.     

Anatomical traits associated with absorption and mycorrhizal colonization are linked to root branch order in twenty-three Chinese temperate tree species

* Different portions of tree root systems play distinct functional roles, yet precisely how to distinguish roots of different functions within the branching fine-root system is unclear. * Here, anatomy and mycorrhizal colonization was examined by branch order in 23 Chinese temperate tree species of both angiosperms and gymnosperms forming ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular-mycorrhizal associations. * Different branch orders showed marked differences in anatomy. First-order roots exhibited primary development with an intact cortex, a high mycorrhizal colonization rate and a low stele proportion, thus serving absorptive functions. Second and third orders had both primary and secondary development. Fourth and higher orders showed mostly secondary development with no cortex or mycorrhizal colonization, and thus have limited role in absorption. Based on anatomical traits, it was estimated that c. 75% of the fine-root length was absorptive, and 68% was mycorrhizal, averaged across species. * These results showed that: order predicted differences in root anatomy in a relatively consistent manner across species; anatomical traits associated with absorption and mycorrhizal colonization occurred mainly in the first three orders; the single diameter class approach may have overestimated absorptive root length by 25% in temperate forests.     

Protective Effect of Carvacrol on Oxidative Stress and Cellular DNA Damage Induced by UVB Irradiation in Human Peripheral Lymphocytes

Exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB; 280‐320 nm) radiation induces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the biological system. In this study, we examined the protective effect of carvacrol on UVB‐induced lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage with reference to alterations in cellular an‐tioxidant status in human lymphocytes. A series of in vitro assays (hydroxyl radical, superoxide, nitric oxide, DPPH (2,2‐Diphenyl‐1‐picryl hydrazyl), and ABTS (2,2‐azino‐bis‐3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) radical scavenging assays) demonstrate antioxidant property of carvacrol in our study. UVB exposure significantly increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs), % tail DNA and tail moment; decreased % cell viability and antioxidant status in UVB‐irradiated lymphocytes. Treatment with carvacrol 30 min prior to UVB‐exposure resulted in a significant decline of TBARS, LHP, % tail DNA, and tail moment and increased % cell viability as carvacrol concentration increased. UVB irradiated lymphocytes with carvacrol alone (at 10 μg/mL) gave no significant change in cell viability, TBARS, LHP, % tail DNA, and tail moment when compared with normal lymphocytes. On the basis of our results, we conclude that carvacrol, a dietary antioxidant, mediates its protective effect through modulation of UVB‐induced ROS.     

华北山地6个外生菌根树种的根属性及其与菌根侵染率的关系

该研究以共存于同一暖温带森林的6个外生菌根(ECM)树种为研究对象,测定分析不同根序(1～5级)和功能根系(吸收细根和运输细根)的主要形态和构型属性及ECM侵染率,探究不同外生菌根树种的根属性变异模式及其与菌根真菌侵染程度的关系。结果表明:(1)随着根序的增加,不同树种根直径和单根长度均增加,而比根长和根分支强度均降低;根属性在同一根序下均存在显著的种间差异,尤其是2个裸子植物(落叶松和油松)的根直径较其他4个被子植物大。(2)同一树种的所有根属性在吸收细根和运输细根之间均有显著差异;吸收细根和运输细根的根直径、比根长和根组织密度在树种间均存在显著差异,而其单根长度和根分支强度在树种间无显著差异。(3)ECM侵染率以落叶松最高,千金榆和白桦最低,且与根尖直径呈显著正相关关系,与根尖比根长呈显著负相关关系。研究发现,基于根序或者功能根系,根属性在种间的变异模式不完全一致,单根长度和根分支强度在两个功能根系中均没有表现出显著的种间差异;吸收细根的比根长和根分支强度的变异系数较大,对环境变化有较敏感的响应;古老树种的根直径相对较粗,对菌根真菌的依赖性更高。
