[PMID: 39055946 PMCID: PMC11269933 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.110321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Pyruvate kinase (PK), as a key rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, has been widely used to assess the stress tolerance and sensitivity of organisms. However, its phosphorylation regulatory mechanisms mainly focused on human cancer research, with no reports in marine organisms. In this study, we firstly reported a conserved PK Ser11 phosphorylation site in mollusks, which enhanced enzyme activity by promoting substrate binding, thereby regulating divergent thermal metabolism of two allopatric congeneric oyster species with differential habitat temperature. It was phosphorylated by ERK kinase, and regulated by the classical MAPK pathway. The MAPK/ERK-PK signaling cascade responded to increased environmental temperature and exhibited stronger activation pattern in the relatively thermotolerant species (Crassostrea angulata), indicating its involvement in shaping temperature adaptation. These findings highlight the presence of complex and unique phosphorylation-mediated signaling transduction mechanisms in marine organisms, and provide new insights into the evolution and function of the crosstalk between classical pathways.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2023; 46:153-170. [PMID: 38248314 PMCID: PMC10813846 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46010012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Adaptation to thermal conditions in tidal mudflats always involves tolerating frequent fluctuations and often extreme environmental temperatures. Regulation of gene expression plays a fundamental role in the evolution of these thermal adaptations. To identify the key gene regulatory networks associated with the thermal adaptation, we investigated the capability of cold tolerance, as well as the transcriptomic changes under cold stress in two mudflat inhabitants (Odontamblyopus lacepedii and O. rebecca) with contrasting latitude affinity. Our results revealed a remarkable divergent capacity of cold tolerance (CTmin: 0.61 °C vs. 9.57 °C) between the two gobies. Analysis of transcriptomic changes under cold stress unveiled 193 differentially expressed genes exhibiting similar expression profiles across all tissues and species, including several classic metabolic and circadian rhythm molecules such as ACOD and CIART that may represent the core cold response machinery in eel gobies. Meanwhile, some genes show a unique expression spectrum in the more cold-tolerant O. lacepedii suggesting their roles in the enhanced cold tolerance and hence the extreme thermal adaptations. In addition, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed a subset of metabolic hub genes including MYH11 and LIPT2 showing distinct down-regulation in O. lacepedii when exposed to cold stress which highlights the role of reduced energy consumption in the enhanced cold tolerance of eel gobies. These findings not only provide new insights into how mudflat teleosts could cope with cold stress and their potential evolutionary strategies for adapting to their thermal environment, but also have important implications for sound management and conservation of their fishery resources in a scenario of global climate warming in the marine realm.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:125.

Abstract
As the world's largest farmed marine animal, oysters have enormous economic and ecological value. However, mass summer mortality caused by high temperature poses a significant threat to the oyster industry. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying heat adaptation and improve the heat tolerance ability in the oyster, we conducted genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) analysis on the F2 generation derived from the hybridization of relatively heat-tolerant Crassostrea angulata ♀ and heat-sensitive Crassostrea gigas ♂, which are the dominant cultured species in southern and northern China, respectively. Acute heat stress experiment (semi-lethal temperature 42 °C) demonstrated that the F2 population showed differentiation in heat tolerance, leading to extremely differentiated individuals (approximately 20% of individuals die within the first four days with 10% survival after 14 days). Genome resequencing and GWAS of the two divergent groups had identified 18 significant SNPs associated with heat tolerance, with 26 candidate genes located near these SNPs. Eleven candidate genes that may associate with the thermal resistance were identified, which were classified into five categories: temperature sensor (Trpm2), transcriptional factor (Gata3), protein ubiquitination (Ube2h, Usp50, Uchl3), heat shock subfamily (Dnajc17, Dnaja1), and transporters (Slc16a9, Slc16a14, Slc16a9, Slc16a2). The expressional differentiation of the above genes between C. gigas and C. angulata under sublethal temperature (37 °C) further supports their crucial role in coping with high temperature. Our results will contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying heat tolerance, and provide genetic markers for heat-resistance breeding in the oyster industry.

Gigascience 2022; 12:giad077. [PMID: 37787064 PMCID: PMC10546077 DOI: 10.1093/gigascience/giad077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata and the Pacific oyster C. gigas are two major Crassostrea species that are naturally distributed along the Northwest Pacific coast and possess great ecological and economic value. Here, we report the construction and comparative analysis of the chromosome-level haplotype-resolved genomes of the two oyster congeners. FINDINGS Based on a trio-binning strategy, the PacBio high-fidelity and Illumina Hi-C reads of the offspring of the hybrid cross C. angulata (♂) × C. gigas (♀) were partitioned and independently assembled to construct two chromosome-level fully phased genomes. The assembly size (contig N50 size, BUSCO completeness) of the two genomes were 582.4 M (12.8 M, 99.1%) and 606.4 M (5.46 M, 98.9%) for C. angulata and C. gigas, respectively, ranking at the top of mollusk genomes with high contiguity and integrity. The general features of the two genomes were highly similar, and 15,475 highly conserved ortholog gene pairs shared identical gene structures and similar genomic locations. Highly similar sequences can be primarily identified in the coding regions, whereas most noncoding regions and introns of genes in the same ortholog group contain substantial small genomic and/or structural variations. Based on population resequencing analysis, a total of 2,756 species-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms and 1,088 genes possibly under selection were identified. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of trio-binned fully phased chromosome-level genomes in marine invertebrates. The study provides fundamental resources for the research on mollusk genetics, comparative genomics, and molecular evolution.
