Changes in gene body methylation predict phenotypic acclimatization of the coral Stylophora pistillata to ocean acidification.
The metabolic symbiosis with photosynthetic algae allows corals to thrive in the oligotrophic environments of tropical seas. Different aspects this relationship have been investigated using emerging model organism Aiptasia. However, many fundamental questions, such as nature symbiotic and interactions nutrients between partners remain highly debated. Using a meta-analysis approach, we identified core set 731 high-confidence symbiosis-associated genes that revealed host-dependent recycling...
The epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation optimizes gene expression in endosymbiosis between cnidarians and their microalgae.
Symbiotic cnidarians such as corals and anemones form highly productive biodiverse coral reef ecosystems in nutrient-poor ocean environments, a phenomenon known Darwin's paradox. Resolving this paradox requires elucidating the molecular bases of efficient nutrient distribution recycling cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis. Using sea anemone Aiptasia, we show that during symbiosis, increased availability glucose presence algae jointly induce coordinated up-regulation relocalization ammonium...
Corals and their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium have a fragile relationship that breaks down under heat stress, an event known as bleaching. However, many coral species adapted to high temperature environments such Red Sea (RS). To investigate mechanisms underlying adaptation in zooxanthellate cnidarians we compared transcriptome- proteome-wide stress response (24 h at 32°C) three strains model organism Aiptasia pallida from regions with differing profiles; North...
Arabidopsis is anchored by a carotenoid-derived metabolite.
Abstract Background The coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis is fundamental for the coral reef ecosystem. Corals provide various inorganic nutrients to their algal symbionts in exchange photosynthates meet metabolic demands. When becoming symbionts, Symbiodiniaceae cells show a reduced proliferation rate and different life history. While it generally believed that animal hosts play critical roles regulating these processes, far less known about molecular underpinnings allow corals induce changes...
Symbiotic associations with Symbiodiniaceae have evolved independently across a diverse range of cnidarian taxa including reef-building corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their regulation repeated evolution are still elusive. Here, we show that despite independent evolution, hosts use same carbon-nitrogen negative feedback loop to control symbiont proliferation. Symbiont-derived photosynthates used assimilate nitrogenous waste via glutamine...
Abstract Cross-species single-cell RNA-seq data hold immense potential for unraveling cell type evolution and transferring knowledge between well-explored less-studied species. However, challenges arise from interspecific genetic variation, batch effects stemming experimental discrepancies inherent individual biological differences. Here, we benchmarked nine data-integration methods across 20 species, encompassing 4.7 million cells, spanning eight phyla the entire animal taxonomic hierarchy....
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) incorporating hydrogen bond donor (HBD) moieties show great promise for heterogeneous catalyst CO2 cycloaddition. In this work, a catechol‐functionalized COF (BL‐TF‐COF) was constructed via Schiff‐base condensation under solvothermal conditions, which characterized using PXRD, FT‐IR, solid‐state 13C NMR, SEM, HR‐TEM, DRS and CV. BL‐TF‐COF presents high crystallinity, large BET surface area (523 m2 g‐1) remarkable chemical stability, along with abundant...
Abstract Corals build the structural foundation of coral reefs, one most diverse and productive ecosystems on our planet. Although process calcification that allows corals to these immense structures has been extensively investigated, we still know little about evolutionary processes allowed soft-bodied ancestor become ecosystem builders they are today. Using a combination phylogenomics, proteomics, immunohistochemistry, show scleractinian likely acquired ability calcify sometime between...
In the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis, hosts show altered expression of genes involved in growth and proliferation when symbiotic state, but little is known about molecular mechanisms that underlie host’s rate. Using tissue-specific transcriptomics, we determined how symbiosis affects cell cycle-associated genes, model cnidarian Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia). The presence symbionts within gastrodermis elicited cell-cycle arrest G1 phase a larger proportion host cells compared with...
The metabolic capabilities of animals have been derived from well-studied model organisms and are generally considered to be well understood. In animals, cysteine is an important amino acid thought exclusively synthesized through the transsulfuration pathway. Corals genus Acropora lost cystathionine β-synthase, a key enzyme pathway, it was proposed that relies on symbiosis with dinoflagellates family Symbiodiniaceae for acquisition cysteine. Here, we identify existence alternative pathway...
Modern transformation and genome editing techniques have shown great success across a broad variety of organisms. However, no study successfully applied has been reported in dinoflagellate despite the first genetic Symbiodinium being published about 20 years ago. Using an array different available techniques, we attempted to transform microadriaticum (CCMP2467), symbiont reef-building corals, with view performing subsequent CRISPR-Cas9 mediated editing. Plasmid vectors designed for nuclear...
Abstract Thermal priming of reef corals can enhance their heat tolerance; however, the legacy effects stress during parental brooding on larval resilience remain understudied. This study investigated whether preconditioning adult coral Pocillopora damicornis to high temperatures (29°C and 32°C) could better prepare larvae for stress. Results showed that heat‐acclimated adults brooded with reduced symbiont density shifted thermal performance curves. Reciprocal transplant experiments...
Rising sea surface temperature is the main cause of global coral reef decline. Abnormally high temperatures trigger breakdown symbiotic association between corals and their photosynthetic symbionts in genus Symbiodinium. Higher genetic variation resulting from shorter generation times has previously been proposed to provide increased adaptability Symbiodinium compared host. Retrotransposition a significant source eukaryotes some transposable elements are specifically expressed under adverse...
Abstract Water stress and hypersensitive response (WHy) domain is typically found as a component of atypical late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins closely associated with resistance to multiple stresses in numerous organisms. Several putative LEA have been identified Deinococcus bacteria; however their precise function remains unclear. This work reports the characterization -specific gene encoding novel WHy domain-containing hydrophobic LEA5C protein (named DrwH) D . radiodurans R1. The...

Abstract Symbiotic associations with Symbiodiniaceae have evolved independently across a diverse range of cnidarian taxa including reef-building corals, anemones and jellyfish, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their regulation repeated evolution are still elusive. Here we show that despite independent evolution, hosts employ same mechanism symbiont control in which symbiont-derived glucose is used to assimilate nitrogenous waste via amino acid biosynthesis limit availability nitrogen...
Plasma membrane (PM) depolarization functions as an initial step in plant defense signaling pathways.However, only a few ion channels/transporters have been characterized the context of immunity.Here, we show that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Na + :K :2Cl -(NKCC) cotransporter CCC1 has dual function immunity.CCC1 independently PM and negatively regulates pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI).However, positively basal effector-triggered resistance to...
Over the last century, anthropogenic production of CO 2 has led to warmer (+0.74 °C) and more acidic (-0.1 pH) oceans 1 , resulting in increasingly frequent severe mass bleaching events worldwide that precipitate global coral reef decline 3 . To mitigate this decline, proposals augment stress tolerance corals through genetic non-genetic means have been gaining traction 4 Work on model systems shown environmentally induced alterations DNA methylation can lead phenotypic acclimatization 5,6...
Abstract Rising ocean temperatures are increasing the rate and intensity of coral mass bleaching events, leading to collapse reef ecosystems. To better understand dynamics coral-algae symbioses, it is critical decipher role each partner plays in holobiont’s thermotolerance. Here, we investigated symbiont by comparing transcriptional heat stress responses anemones from two thermally distinct locations, Florida (CC7) Hawaii (H2) as well a heterologous host-symbiont combination composed CC7...
Abstract In hermatypic scleractinian corals, photosynthetic fixation of CO 2 and the production CaCO 3 are intimately linked due to their symbiotic relationship with dinoflagellates Symbiodiniaceae family. This makes it difficult study ion transport mechanisms involved in different pathways. contrast, most ahermatypic corals do not share this thus offer an advantage when studying calcification process. Despite advantage, non-symbiotic have been systematically neglected studies, resulting a...
