MHC class IIA polymorphisms and their association with resistance–susceptibility to Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - Feng‐Ying Gao; Dong Zhang; Mai‐Xin Lu; Jian‐Meng Cao; Zhi‐Gang Liu; Xiao‐Li Ke; Miao Wang; De‐Feng Zhang; Meng‐Meng Yi (Journal of Fish Biology, 2018)
The association between major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIA polymorphisms and the severity of infection by Streptococcus agalactiae was investigated using 40 susceptible and 40 resistant individuals of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus . Twenty‐five alleles were identified from 80 individuals, which belong to 22 major allele types. High polymorphism of mhcIIa gene and at least two loci were discovered in O. niloticus . In peptide‐binding region (PBR) and non‐PBR, the ratio of nonsynonymous substitution ( dN ) to synonymous substitution ( dS ) was 1.294 (>1) and 1.240 (>1), suggesting that the loci are evolving under positive balancing selection. Association analysis showed that the allele, orni‐daa*0501 , was significantly associated with resistance to S. agalactiae , while the alleles, orni‐daa*1101 , orni‐daa*1301 , orni‐daa*1401 and orni‐daa*1201 , were associated with susceptibility to S. agalactiae . To confirm these correlations, another independent challenge experiment was performed in the Huizhou population of the O. niloticus . The frequency distribution showed that the orni‐daa*1101 allele was significantly more frequent in the Huizhou‐Susceptible group (HZ‐SG) than in the Huizhou‐Resistant group (HZ‐RG) ( P orni‐daa*0501 did not present in HZ‐SG and HZ‐RG and the distribution frequencies of the orni‐daa*1201 , orni‐daa*1301 and orni‐daa*1401 alleles were not significantly more frequent in HZ‐SG than in HZ‐RG. These results indicate that the orni‐daa*1101 allele confers susceptibility to S. agalactia infection. These results suggest that the diversity of exon 2 of mcaIIa alleles could be used to explore the association between disease susceptibility or resistance and the multiformity of mcaIIa and to achieve the molecular‐assisted selection of O. niloticus with enhanced disease resistance.

Joint structural and physiological control on the interannual variation in productivity in a temperate grassland: A data‐model comparison - Zhongmin Hu; Hao Shi; Kaili Cheng; Ying‐Ping Wang; Shilong Piao; Yue Li; Li Zhang; Jianyang Xia; Lei Zhou; Wenping Yuan; Steve Running; Longhui Li; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Given the important contributions of semiarid region to global land carbon cycle, accurate modeling of the interannual variability (IAV) of terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is important but remains challenging. By decomposing GPP into leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthesis per leaf area (i.e., GPP_leaf), we investigated the IAV of GPP and the mechanisms responsible in a temperate grassland of northwestern China. We further assessed six ecosystem models for their capabilities in reproducing the observed IAV of GPP in a temperate grassland from 2004 to 2011 in China. We observed that the responses to LAI and GPP_leaf to soil water significantly contributed to IAV of GPP at the grassland ecosystem. Two of six models with prescribed LAI simulated of the observed IAV of GPP quite well, but still underestimated the variance of GPP_leaf, therefore the variance of GPP. In comparison, simulated pattern by the other four models with prognostic LAI differed significantly from the observed IAV of GPP. Only some models with prognostic LAI can capture the observed sharp decline of GPP in drought years. Further analysis indicated that accurately representing the responses of GPP_leaf and leaf stomatal conductance to soil moisture are critical for the models to reproduce the observed IAV of GPP_leaf. Our framework also identified that the contributions of LAI and GPP_leaf to the observed IAV of GPP were relatively independent. We conclude that our framework of decomposing GPP into LAI and GPP_leaf has a significant potential for facilitating future model intercomparison, benchmarking and optimization should be adopted for future data‐model comparisons.

Focusing quorum sensing signalling by nano‐magnetic assembly - Yongguang Guan; Chen‐Yu Tsao; David N. Quan; Ying Li; Lei Mei; Yingying Song; Boce Zhang; Yi Liu; Gregory F. Payne; William E. Bentley; Qin Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Quorum sensing (QS) exists widely among bacteria, enabling a transition to multicellular behaviour after bacterial populations reach a particular density. The coordination of multicellularity enables biotechnological application, dissolution of biofilms, coordination of virulence, and so forth. Here, a method to elicit and subsequently disperse multicellular behaviour among QS‐negative cells is developed using magnetic nanoparticle assembly. We fabricated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs, ∼5 nm) that electrostatically collect wild‐type (WT) Escherichia coli BL21 cells and brings them into proximity of bioengineered E. coli [CT104 (W3110 lsrFG − luxS − pCT6 + pET‐DsRed)] reporter cells that exhibit a QS response after receiving autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2). By shortening the distance between WT and reporter cells (e.g., increasing local available AI‐2 concentrations), the QS response signalling was amplified four‐fold compared to that in native conditions without assembly. This study suggests potential applications in facilitating intercellular communication and modulating multicellular behaviours based on user‐specified designs.

Evolutionary relationships of two balitorids (Cypriniformes, Balitoridae) revealed by comparative mitogenomics - Li‐Xia Shi; Chen Zhang; Yin‐Ping Wang; Qiong‐Ying Tang; Patrick D. Danley; Huan‐Zhang Liu (Zoologica Scripta, 2018)
Balitoridae, a family within the Cypriniformes, inhabit torrential mountain streams in Asia. Although they have long fascinated ichthyologists for their numerous adaptations to this tumultuous environment, the evolutionary history of this group remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the evolutionary relationships of the balitorids with particular attention to the phylogenetic placement of two balitorid species, Yaoshania pachychulis and Erromyzon kalotaenia . Both species have extremely limited distributions, they are limited to Mt. Dayaoshan of the Pearl River in China and require dedicated conservation plans. However, little is known about their evolutionary relationships to other balitorids. Here, we examined the evolutionary relationships of Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia to each other and other balitorids through sequencing the complete mitochondrial genomes of nine balitorid individuals. For the newly sequenced balitorids, the length of the whole mitogenome, gene arrangement and their base composition are similar to those of other bony fishes. Analyses based on these newly sequenced mitogenomes and an additional 50 previously published mitogenomes show that Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia cluster as different clade within the subfamily Gastromyzontinae. The genetic distance between these two species ranges from 0.127 ± 0.003 to 0.132 ± 0.004 which is slightly higher than that between some genera (e.g. the distance between Vanmanenia and Metahomaloptera is 0.127 ± 0.004). Therefore, it is reasonable to assign Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia to different genera. Phylogenetic signal assessment suggested that ND 1 , ND 4 and ND 5 genes as well as their concatenated subsets perform relatively well in reconstructing the Cobitoidea phylogeny. The divergence time estimation indicated that the balitorids distributed in Mt. Dayaoshan might have originated and evolved following the flattening and uplifting of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau during the late Miocene to late Pliocene.

Further insights into the highly derived haptorids (Ciliophora, Litostomatea): Phylogeny based on multigene data - Jie B. Huang; Tengteng Zhang; Qianqian Zhang; Yuan Li; Alan Warren; Hongbo Pan; Ying Yan (Zoologica Scripta, 2018)
Evolutionary relationships of taxa within the ciliate subclass Haptoria are poorly understood. In this study, we broaden the taxon sampling by adding 14 small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences, 13 large subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences and 13 ITS 1‐5.8S‐ ITS 2 gene sequences of haptorians. This includes the first molecular data from two genera, Pseudotrachelocerca Song, 1990, and Foissnerides Song & Wilbert, 1989. Phylogenies inferred from the three individual genes and concatenated data sets show that: (i) the subclass Haptoria could be a multiphyletic complex with about up to four main clades while “interrupted” by some intermingled with the related subclasses Rhynchostomatia, Trichostomatia and some incertae sedis ; (ii) the genus Pseudotrachelocerca Song, 1990, is clearly separated from Litostomatea and clusters within an assemblage comprising the classes Prostomatea, Colpodea and Plagiopylea; (iii) both morphological evidence and molecular evidence indicate that the genus Foissnerides should be transferred from family Trachelophyllidae to Pseudoholophryidae; (iv) the validity of the order Helicoprorodontida Grain, 1994, and its monophyly is strongly supported; (5) the family Chaeneidae does not belong to the order Lacrymarida but represents a distinct clade in the subclass Haptoria.

Antibiotic resistome in a large‐scale healthy human gut microbiota deciphered by metagenomic and network analyses - Jie Feng; Bing Li; Xiaotao Jiang; Ying Yang; George F. Wells; Tong Zhang; Xiaoyan Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The human gut microbiota is an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). A metagenomic approach and network analysis were used to establish a comprehensive antibiotic resistome catalog and to obtain co‐occurrence patterns between ARGs and microbial taxa in fecal samples from 180 healthy individuals from 11 different countries. In total, 507 ARG subtypes belonging to 20 ARG types were detected with abundances ranging from 7.12 × 10 −7 to 2.72 × 10 −1 copy of ARG/copy of 16S‐rRNA gene. Tetracycline, multidrug, macrolide‐lincosamide‐streptogramin, bacitracin, vancomycin, beta‐lactam and aminoglycoside resistance genes were the top seven most abundant ARG types. The multidrug ABC transporter, aad E, bac A, acr B, tet M, tet W, van R and van S were shared by all 180 individuals, suggesting their common occurrence in the human gut. Compared to populations from the other 10 countries, the Chinese population harboured the most abundant ARGs. Moreover, LEfSe analysis suggested that the MLS resistance type and its subtype ‘ erm F’ were representative ARGs of the Chinese population. Antibiotic inactivation, antibiotic target alteration and antibiotic efflux were the dominant resistance mechanism categories in all populations. Procrustes analysis revealed that microbial phylogeny structured the antibiotic resistome. Co‐occurrence patterns obtained via network analysis implied that 12 species might be potential hosts of 58 ARG subtypes.

Two eisosome proteins play opposite roles in autophagic control and sustain cell integrity, function and pathogenicity in Beauveria bassiana - Long‐Bin Zhang; Li Tang; Sheng‐Hua Ying; Ming‐Guang Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Pil1A and Pil1B are two core eisosome proteins that are homologous to yeast Pil1/Lsp1 or filamentous fungal Pil1A/Pil1B but have been unexplored in entomopathogenic fungi. Here we examined subcellular localization and functions of Pil1A and Pil1B in Beauveria bassiana , a fungal insect pathogen. Either localization or co‐localization experiments of the two proteins demonstrated that Pil1A and Pil1B were simultaneously localized at the periphery of hyphal cells for formation of stable, punctuate spots in B. bassiana . This is different from a reliance of proper Lsp1/Pil1B localization upon Pil1/Pil1A in other fungi. Deletions of pil1A and pil1B caused opposite changes in expression of many autophagy‐related genes and formation of intravacuolar autophagosomes. Such opposite changes were restored to nearly normal status by exogenous rapamycin, implicating a link of Pil1A/B to the target of rapamycin signalling pathway. All single/double deletion mutants of pil1A and pil1B lost almost all pathogenicity due to reduced ability to secrete Pr1 proteases for cuticle degradation. They also showed differential changes in cell wall integrity and multiple stress responses. These findings unveil opposite roles for Pil1A and Pil1B in autophagic regulation and an essentiality of both for cell integrity, function and pathogenicity of the fungal entomopathogen.

Summary Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of phylogenetically and physiologically diverse Gram‐negative bacteria that synthesize intracellular magnetic crystals named magnetosomes. MTB are affiliated with three classes of Proteobacteria phylum, Nitrospirae phylum, Omnitrophica phylum and probably with the candidate phylum Latescibacteria. The evolutionary origin and physiological diversity of MTB compared with other bacterial taxonomic groups remain to be illustrated. Here, we analysed the genome of the marine magneto‐ovoid strain MO‐1 and found that it is closely related to Magnetococcus marinus MC‐1. Detailed analyses of the ribosomal proteins and whole proteomes of 390 genomes reveal that, among the Proteobacteria analysed, only MO‐1 and MC‐1 have coding sequences (CDSs) with a similarly high proportion of origins from Alphaproteobacteria , Betaproteobacteria , Deltaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria . Interestingly, a comparative metabolic network analysis with anoxic network enzymes from sequenced MTB and non‐MTB successfully allows the eventual prediction of an organism with a metabolic profile compatible for magnetosome production. Altogether, our genomic analysis reveals multiple origins of MO‐1 and M. marinus MC‐1 genomes and suggests a metabolism‐restriction model for explaining whether a bacterium could become an MTB upon acquisition of magnetosome encoding genes.
