项目摘要
Life on earth is subjected to daily and seasonal variations that are intimately linked to the timing of sunrise and sunset that sets day-length. For organisms living at temperate latitudes, seasonal changes in day-length (aka photoperiod) are key regulators of seasonal responses in development, physiology, and behavior. To adapt to a rhythmic environment, animals, plants and microbes have evolved timekeepers known as circadian clocks. These clocks regulate the rhythmicity of molecular pathways that in turn effect seasonal changes, but how changes in day-length are sensed and translated into seasonal changes remain poorly understood in animals. One way in which circadian clocks regulate seasonal biology is via the rhythmic regulation of vitamin A in the brain. This project will characterize the precise role of vitamin A in animal photoperiodic responses using the iconic monarch butterfly as a model system because monarchs exhibit strong seasonal changes in migratory behavior and reproductive biology. Because seasonal adaptations to photoperiod are ubiquitous in animals, this work will provide a framework for comparative analyses in diverse groups of animals, thus having far-reaching implications for broadening our understanding of seasonal adaptation beyond migratory species. This project will also have a variety of broader impacts, including the training of students and post-doctoral researchers, and outreach activities at public street events and local schools to sensitize and engage students and citizens alike in monarch conservation.The ability to adapt to the changing seasons is widespread in nature, and in many organisms the primary trigger for this phenomenon is changes in daylength (aka photoperiod). The Eastern North American monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is a powerful model for understanding the molecular and cellular basis of seasonality. It undergoes a yearly seasonal migration in response to decreasing photoperiod in the fall during which it enters reproductive dormancy, can be genetically manipulated, and photoperiodic responses can be induced in laboratory conditions. In this system, a functional circadian clock is necessary for sensing and responding to the photoperiod, and is involved in the rhythmic regulation of the vitamin A pathway in the brain. However, how the vitamin A pathway integrates circadian and photoperiodic cycles to ultimately regulate photoperiodic responses is still unknown. Vitamin A can generate two different products, retinal and retinoic acid, which could both effect seasonal adaptations. This proposal employs cutting-edge functional genomics and molecular tools in the monarch to test two non-mutually exclusive hypotheses: i) that retinal functions in the regulation of photoperiodic responses via the production of an opsin-based deep brain photoreceptor for photoperiodic induction; and ii) that retinoic acid reprograms gene expression in a photoperiod-dependent manner to rewire the neuronal circuitry in the brain in response to changing seasons. Illuminating the yet unknown photoperiodic photoreceptor(s) and/or molecular mechanisms underlying insect photoperiodic sensing and responses will greatly advance our understanding of the molecular bases of seasonal rhythms, which are likely to be widely conserved among the animal kingdom.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
地球上的生命每天和季节都有变化,这些变化与决定一天长度的日出和日落的时间密切相关。对于生活在温带地区的生物体来说,日照长度的季节性变化(又称光周期)是发育、生理和行为季节性反应的关键调节因子。为了适应有节奏的环境,动物、植物和微生物进化出了被称为生物钟的计时器。这些生物钟调节分子通路的节律性,进而影响季节变化,但动物对日照长度的变化如何被感知并转化为季节变化仍知之甚少。生物钟调节季节生物学的一种方式是通过大脑中维生素A的节律调节。该项目将使用标志性的帝王蝶作为模型系统来描述维生素A在动物光周期反应中的确切作用,因为帝王蝶在迁徙行为和生殖生物学方面表现出强烈的季节性变化。由于光周期的季节性适应在动物中普遍存在,这项工作将提供一个框架,在不同的动物群体的比较分析,从而扩大我们的理解超越迁徙物种的季节性适应具有深远的影响。该项目还将产生各种更广泛的影响,包括对学生和博士后研究人员进行培训,在公共街道活动和当地学校开展外联活动,以提高学生和公民对帝王蝶保护的认识和参与。适应季节变化的能力在自然界中很普遍,在许多生物中,这种现象的主要触发因素是日照长度(亦称光周期)的变化。北美东部的帝王蝶Danaus plexippus是了解季节性的分子和细胞基础的有力模型。它经历了每年的季节性迁移,以应对秋季的光周期减少,在此期间,它进入生殖休眠,可以通过遗传操纵,并可以在实验室条件下诱导光周期反应。在这个系统中,一个功能性的昼夜节律钟对于感知和响应光周期是必要的,并且参与大脑中维生素A通路的节律调节。然而,维生素A通路如何整合昼夜节律和光周期周期,最终调节光周期反应仍然是未知的。维生素A可以产生两种不同的产物,视黄酸和视黄酸,它们都可以影响季节性适应。该提议采用了帝王蝶的尖端功能基因组学和分子工具来测试两个不相互排斥的假设:i)视网膜通过产生用于光周期诱导的基于视蛋白的深部脑感光器来调节光周期反应;和ii)视黄酸在光周期中重新编程基因表达-这是一种依赖性的方式来重新连接大脑中的神经回路,以应对季节的变化。阐明昆虫光周期感知和反应的未知光周期感受器和/或分子机制将大大推进我们对季节节律分子基础的理解,这可能在动物王国中广泛保存。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
