A tissue sample 30 of the toad, Atelopus zeteki, was donated by the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and came from a 31 necropsied captive animal. The outgroup species, Megophrys nasuta, Kaloula pulchra, Rana 32 sphenocephala, Rana catesbeiana, Dendrobates auratus, Melanophryniscus stelzneri, and 33 Duttaphrynus melanostictus were obtained from the pet trade under IACUC Protocol No. 2057- 34 16. Live animals were euthanized under the supervision of a research veterinarian at Princeton 35 University. To capture all three copies of ATP1A, we collected tissue samples from brain, 36 skeletal muscle, and stomach – each of which highly expresses at least one of the three copies 37 (15). Beside the data generated from the 16 anuran species, the rest of data used in this study 38 were downloaded from publicly available sources (Table S2). 39 40 RNA-seq based gene discovery of ATP1A paralogs 41 Full-length coding sequences of ATP1A1, ATP1A2 and ATP1A3 were reconstructed for 42 several species using RNA-seq based gene discovery. Total RNA was extracted from multiple 43 tissues from 16 Anuran species (Table S2) using TRIzol Reagents (Ambion, Life technologies) 44 following the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA-seq libraries were prepared with TruSeq RNA 45 Library Prep Kit v2 (Illumina) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500 (Genomics Core Facility, 46 Princeton, NJ, USA) with either PE 75bp or SE 140bp (Table S2). Reads were trimmed and de 47 novo assembled with Trinity v2.2.0 (38). ATP1A1 of Xenopus laevis (GenBank 4 48 NM_001090595) was initially used to BLAST against the assembled transcripts of L. latrans to 49 recover ATP1A1S and ATP1A1R, which were later used as queries to reconstruct ATP1A1s 50 from other species. ATP1/2/3 of the rest species used in this study were mined from publicly 51 available datasets (Table S2) following the same pipeline (Figure S3). 52 53 Targeted sequencing of coding region of ATP1A1 paralogs 54 Total RNA was extracted from L. fuscus, L. insularum, and L. colombiensis as described 55 above and reverse-transcribed to single-strand cDNA using SuperScript III Reverse 56 Transcriptase (Invitrogen). ATP1A1 was amplified using Phusion High-Fidelity DNA 57 polymerase (Invitrogen) using forward primer: 5’-ATAAGTATGAGCCCGCAGCC-3’ and 58 reverse primer: 5’-CCAGGGCTGCGTCTGATTATG-3’. PCR products were cleaned with 59 QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen) and A-tailed with Taq Polymerase (NEB) before 60 cloning into a pTOPO-TA vector (Invitrogen). The presence of the insert in the plasmid was 61 confirmed by colony-PCR. Libraries of plasmids were prepared with Tn5 transposase, indexed 62 with customized barcodes (22), and sequenced on Illumina MiSeq Nano (Genomics Core 63 Facility, Princeton, NJ, USA). Assembly of the plasmids was performed with Velvet v1.2.10 64 (39) and Oases v0.2.8 (40). ATP1A1 was reconstructed by aligning with previously obtained 65 ATP1A1 sequences of L. latrans and L. pentadactylus. 66 67 De novo genome assembly of Leptodactylus fuscus 68 High-molecular-weight DNA was isolated from a single Leptodactylus fuscus embryo by 69 HudsonAlpha (Huntsville, AL, USA), who also prepared the Chromium library and sequenced it 70 on Illumina HiSeq X. Barcodes were removed using the Long Ranger basic v2.2.2 5 71 (https://support.10xgenomics.com/genome-exome/software/downloads/latest). Trimmed reads 72 were used for k-mer estimation in Jellyfish (33Marçais and Kingsford 2011, v2.2.7). The k-mer 73 (k=21) frequency distribution was processed in GenomeScope (41) to estimate the genome size, 74 heterozygosity, and percentage of repeat content. The linked-reads were assembled using the 75 Supernova assembler (42) with “–accept-extreme-coverage” specified because the coverage was 76 lower than recommended. The assembled genome is 2.42 Gb (16,530 scaffolds >=10 kb, scaffold 77 N50 = 363 kb, Table S3) and was outputted in the psuedohap2 format (accession No TbD.). The 78 completeness of the genome assembly was assessed using Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy 79 Orthologs (BUSCOs, v4.0.5 (43)), and 72.6% of the BUSCO Tetrapoda gene annotations 80 (version odb10) were identified (Table S3). 81 82 Obtaining intron sequences of ATP1A1 via targeted long-read sequencing 83 The intron sequences of L. fuscus were determined by blasting (blast-2.26) the protein- 84 coding sequences of ATP1A1 S and ATP1A1 R against its genome assembly (Figure S4). For 85 the other four Leptodactylus species (L. pentadactylus, L. latrans, L. insularum, L. colombiensis) 86 and two outgroup species (Engystomops pustulosus and Lithodytes lineatus), introns were 87 obtained via targeted long-read sequencing using Oxford Nanopore MinION. Genomic DNA 88 was extracted with Agencourt DNAdvance Kit (Beckman Coulter, France) and ATP1A1 was 89 amplified using LongAmp Taq PCR kit (NEB). Primers contain a species-specific 90 complementary sequence and a custom barcode (Table S5). PCR products were gel confirmed, 91 cut, and purified using QIAquick PCR Purfication kit (Qiagen). Libraries were pooled and 92 prepared for sequencing using Ligation Sequencing Kit SQK-LSK109 (Oxford Nanopore 93 Technologies) following the manufacturer’s protocol. 72,161 reads were generated within six 6 94 hours, 89% passed the filter, and the real-time read length distribution matched that shown on gel 95 image of the amplicons. Raw trace data were base called with Albacore v2.3.4 (Oxford 96 Nanopore Technologies) and demultiplexed using LAST v980 (44). Reads that mapped to more 97 than one barcode were discarded. Reads were assigned to each species based on barcodes using 98 seqtk (45). Only reads of around the expected length (± 200 nt) were used for downstream 99 analyses. For Leptodactylus species with two copies of ATP1A1, reads were further split by 100 perfectly matching the 111-122 region of the two copies, which bears 22-25% difference in 101 nucleotide sequences between each other. Assembly was carried out using Canu v1.8 (46) and 102 1000 reads (1000x coverage) were randomly selected for better performance. Reconstructed 103 sequences were identical when different sets of 1000 reads were used. Filtered reads were 104 mapped back to the reconstructed reference with minimap2 (47) and polished with racon v1.3.3 105 (48). Short-read sequencing data were generated using Tn5 transposases (as described above) to 106 further correct and polish the sequences. Final sequences were aligned with the MUSCLE 107 algorithm (49) implemented in SeaView (50). The boundaries between introns and exons were 108 manually adjusted to follow the general rule that introns start with GT and end with AG.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Rajamanickam 1, John P. Kastelic 2 and Jacob C. Thundathil 2,* 1 Department of Veterinary Clinical and Diagnostic Services, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 4N1, Canada 2 Department of Production Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB T2N 4N1, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-403-220-8244 Received: 5 May 2019; Accepted: 16 May 2019; Published: 28 June 2019 Abstract: The plasma membrane of sperm contains highly dynamic lipid microdomains (rafts), which house signaling proteins with a role in regulating capacitation. We reported that ATP1A4, the testis-specific isoform of Na/K-ATPase, interacted with caveolin-1, Src, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) in raft and non-raft domains of the plasma membrane of bovine sperm during capacitation. The objective of the present study was to use a proteomic approach to characterize the ATP1A4 interactome in rafts and non-rafts from capacitated bovine sperm. The non-raft interactome included hexokinase 1, plakophilin 1, desmoglein 1, 14-3-3 protein ζ/δ, cathepsin D and heat shock protein beta1 proteins exclusively, whereas glutathione S-transferase and annexin A2 were unique to raft interactome. However, a disintegrin and metalloprotease 32 (ADAM 32), histone H4, actin, acrosin, serum albumin and plakoglobin were identified in both raft and non-raft fractions of capacitated sperm. Based on gene ontology studies, these differentially interacted proteins were implicated in cell–cell adhesion, signal transduction, fertilization, metabolism, proteolysis and DNA replication, in addition to acting as transport/carrier and cytoskeletal proteins.

The few more complicated genetic variants, splice site variants, and premature stops were not considered. Variants were considered pathogenic if: 1) identical variants arose independently in two or more unrelated patients/families with similar symptoms; 2) variants caused alternative amino acid changes in a single codon, with symptoms on the spectrum; 3) variants occurred at the equivalent position in more than one paralog, with symptoms typical of that paralog; or 4) there was laboratory evidence of impairment of Na,K-ATPase activity or biosynthesis. Single-family variants not meeting those criteria were considered probably pathogenic if 1) variants were proven to be de novo with DNA from both parents, or 2) pedigree data showed segregation with only affected members of the family, and 3) were considered possibly pathogenic when there was minimal or ambiguous pedigree data.

Various animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been created to assist our appreciation of AD pathophysiology, as well as aid development of novel therapeutic strategies. Despite the discovery of mutated proteins that predict the development of AD, there are likely to be many other proteins also involved in this disorder. Complex physiological processes are mediated by coherent interactions of clusters of functionally related proteins. Synaptic dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of AD. Synaptic proteins are organized into multiprotein complexes in high-density membrane structures, known as lipid rafts. These microdomains enable coherent clustering of synergistic signaling proteins.

  • Extracellular Vesicles and the Oviduct Function
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Extracellular Vesicles and the Oviduct Function Emily A. Harris, Kalli K. Stephens and Wipawee Winuthayanon * Center for Reproductive Biology, School of Molecular Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164, USA; [email protected] (E.A.H.); [email protected] (K.K.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-509-335-8296 Received: 28 October 2020; Accepted: 3 November 2020; Published: 5 November 2020 Abstract: In mammals, the oviduct (or the Fallopian tube in humans) can be divided into the infundibulum (responsible for oocyte pick-up), ampulla (site of fertilization), isthmus (where preimplantation embryos develop), and uterotubal junction (where embryos transit to the uterus). The oviductal fluid, as well as extracellular vesicles produced from the oviduct epithelial cells, referred to as oEVs, have been shown to improve the fertilization process, prevent polyspermy, and aid in embryo development. oEVs contain molecular cargos (such as miRNAs, mRNAs, proteins, and lipids) that can be delivered and fuse to recipient cells. oEVs produced from the ampulla appear to be functionally distinct from those produced from the isthmus. In multiple species including mice, cats, dogs, pigs, and cows, oEVs can be incorporated into the oocytes, sperm, and embryos. In this review, we show the positive impact of oEVs on gamete function as well as blastocyst development and how they may improve embryo quality in in vitro conditions in an assisted reproductive technology setting for rodents, domestic animals, farm animals, and humans. Keywords: egg; embryo; extracellular vesicle; exosome; fallopian tube; microvesicle; oocyte; oviductosome; oviduct; sperm 1.
