Abstract
Transgenerational responses of susceptible calcifying organisms to progressive ocean acidification are an important issue in reducing uncertainty of future predictions. In this study, a two-generation rearing experiment was conducted using mature Mesocentrotus nudus, a major edible sea urchin that occurs along the coasts of northern Japan. Morphological observations and comprehensive gene expression analysis (RNA-seq) of resulting larvae were performed to examine transgenerational acclimation to acidified seawater. Two generations of rearing experiments showed that larvae derived from parents acclimated to acidified seawater tended to have higher survival and show less reduction in body size when exposed to acidified seawater of the same pH, suggesting that a positive carry-over effect occurred. RNA-seq analysis showed that gene expression patterns of larvae originated from both acclimated and non-acclimated parents to acidified seawater tended to be different than control condition, and the gene expression pattern of larvae originated from acclimated parents was substantially different than that of larvae of non-acclimated and control parents.

Abstract
Pif is a shell matrix protein (SMP) identified in the nacreous layer of Pinctada fucata (Pfu) comprised two proteins, Pif97 and Pif 80. Pif97 contains a von Willebrand factor A (VWA) and chitin-binding domains, whereas Pif80 can bind calcium carbonate crystals. The VWA domain is conserved in the SMPs of various mollusk species; however, their phylogenetic relationship remains obscure. Furthermore, although the VWA domain participates in protein-protein interactions, its role in shell formation has not been established. Accordingly, in the current study, we investigate the phylogenetic relationship between PfuPif and other VWA domain-containing proteins in major mollusk species. The shell-related proteins containing VWA domains formed a large clade (the Pif/BMSP family) and were classified into eight subfamilies with unique sequential features, expression patterns, and taxa diversity. Furthermore, a pull-down assay using recombinant proteins containing the VWA domain of PfuPif 97 revealed that the VWA domain interacts with five nacreous layer-related SMPs of P. fucata, including Pif 80 and nacrein. Collectively, these results suggest that the VWA domain is important in the formation of organic complexes and participates in shell mineralisation.

Abstract
Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) play a pivotal role in regulating extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics and have been extensively studied in vertebrates. However, understanding their evolution across invertebrate phyla is limited. Utilizing the high-quality Pteria penguin genome, we conducted phylogenomic orthology analyses across metazoans, revealing the emergence and distribution of the TIMP gene family. Our findings show that TIMP repertoires originated during eumetazoan radiation, experiencing independent duplication events in different clades, resulting in varied family sizes. Particularly, Pteriomorphia bivalves within Mollusca exhibited the most significant expansion and displayed the most diverse TIMP repertoires among metazoans. These expansions were attributed to multiple gene duplication events, potentially driven by the demands for functional diversification related to multiple adaptive traits, contributing to the adaptation of Pteriomorphia bivalves as stationary filter feeders. In this context, Pteriomorphia bivalves offer a promising model for studying invertebrate TIMP evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molluscan shell, composed of a diverse range of architectures and microstructures, is a classic model system to study the relationships between molecular evolution and biomineralized structure formation. The shells of oysters differ from those of other molluscs by possessing a novel microstructure, chalky calcite, which facilitates adaptation to the sessile lifestyle. However, the genetic basis and evolutionary origin of this adaptive innovation remain largely unexplored. RESULTS We report the first whole-genome assembly and shell proteomes of the Iwagaki oyster Crassostrea nippona. Multi-omic integrative analyses revealed that independently expanded and co-opted tyrosinase, peroxidase, TIMP genes may contribute to the chalky layer formation in oysters. Comparisons with other molluscan shell proteomes imply that von Willebrand factor type A and chitin-binding domains are basic members of molluscan biomineralization toolkit. Genome-wide identification and analyses of these two domains in 19 metazoans enabled us to propose that the well-known Pif may share a common origin in the last common ancestor of Bilateria. Furthermore, Pif and LamG3 genes acquire new genetic function for shell mineralization in bivalves and the chalky calcite formation in oysters likely through a combination of gene duplication and domain reorganization. CONCLUSIONS The spatial expression of SMP genes in the mantle and molecular evolution of Pif are potentially involved in regulation of the chalky calcite deposition, thereby shaping the high plasticity of the oyster shell to adapt to a sessile lifestyle. This study further highlights neo-functionalization as a crucial mechanism for the diversification of shell mineralization and microstructures in molluscs, which may be applied more widely for studies on the evolution of metazoan biomineralization.

Evolution of nacre- and prisms-related shell matrix proteins in the pen shell, Atrina pectinata. COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2022; 44:101025. [PMID: 36075178 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2022.101025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
The molluscan shell is a good model for understanding the mechanisms underlying biomineralization. It is composed of calcium carbonate crystals and many types of organic molecules, such as the matrix proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids. The pen shell Atrina pectinata (Pterioida, Pinnidae) has two shell microstructures: an outer prismatic layer and an inner nacreous layer. Similar microstructures are well known in pearl oysters (Pteriidae), such as Pinctada fucata, and many kinds of shell matrix proteins (SMPs) have been identified from their shells. However, the members of SMPs that consist of the nacreous and prismatic layers of Pinnidae bivalves remain unclear. In this study, we identified 114 SMPs in the nacreous and prismatic layers of A. pectinata, of which only seven were found in both microstructures. 54 of them were found to bind calcium carbonate. Comparative analysis of nine molluscan shell proteomes showed that 69 of 114 SMPs of A. pectinata were found to have sequential similarity with at least one or more SMPs of other molluscan species. For instance, nacrein, tyrosinase, Pif/BMSP-like, chitinase (CN), chitin-binding proteins, CD109, and Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitors are widely shared among bivalves and gastropods. Our results provide new insights for understanding the complex evolution of SMPs related to nacreous and prismatic layer formation in the pteriomorph bivalves.
