Opsins underground

Introduction

The genome article for the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) appeared in Nature in October 2011. That paper made remarkable inroads into understanding slowed aging in this species, the longest-lived of all rodents. The mole-rat is thus an appropriate genomic model species to get at adaptations to aging processes.

As a hystricognath rodent (Euarchontoglires), mole-rat is only superficially related by convergent evolution to blind mole-rats (eg Spalax, murid rodent), lawn moles (Talpa: Laurasiathere insectivore), golden moles (Amblysomus: Afrotheres) or marsupial moles (Notoryctes). None of these species have comprehensive data sets that would allow comparison of opsin degeneration patterns but in some cases retinal anatomy has been studied.

Rodent lifespans range from a few years in mice and rats to nearly three decades in beavers, porcupines, and squirrels in addition to naked mole-rats. These species are in separate phylogenetic clades, implying slow aging (respectively fast-aging in other rodents?) has evolved on multiple occasions.

The mole-rat has quite an unusual life history, spending its life in dark hypoxic underground tunnels but in rare eusociality. The question arises as to what has happened to opsins and the many other components of the visual repertoire. Here it must be noted that "at lower temperatures, they bask in the shallow, more sun-warmed parts of their burrow systems" and that photos clearly show black eye spots implying melanin in the RPE (retinal pigmented epithelium).

This basking might also permit the photoisomerization step in the synthesis of vitamin D, though "intestinal calcium transport in mole-rats is independent of both genomic and non-genomic vitamin D" and vitamin D endrocrine receptors and hydroxylating enzymes are are present.

Photolyases, a class of flavo-enzymes involved in repair of UV-caused dna damage (thymine dimers), also utilize visible light in the reaction mechanism in bacteria. These enzymes are distantly homologous to mammalian CRY1 and CRY2 genes that entrain circadian rhythms perhaps via blue light reception in the retina but no longer repair dna. Light-driven magnetoreception has also been proposed in the subterranean mole-rat Cryptomys as well as human.

Opsin retention has been before in subterranean mammals, bats, dolphins, nocturnal primates and cave fish, with the outcome consistent with "use it or lose it" -- genes quickly degenerate by mutation as selective pressure for their maintenence ceases. Because the same genes are often used in both vision and hearing, utility in one system could maintain a given gene in both. Subterranean animals often have greatly reduced hearing and vision.

The mole-rat, like most placental mammals, has genetic potential for two-color cone vision plus dim-light rhodopsin in addition to five other opsins (peropsin, neuropsin, melanopsin, encephalopsin and rgropsin whose anatomical sites of expression (in the absence of mole-rat data) are likely the same as in mouse. The functions of these other opsins -- with the exception of rhabdomeric melanopsin -- are poorly understood but must be important because of their long history of conservation. The types and distribution of cone cells -- notably cone cell sharing -- in the mole-rat retina has not yet been determined.

The genome of last common ancestor of living amniotes contained a remarkable 21 opsins (defined as full length paralogs to rhodopsin with covalently bound retinoid at lysine-296). However by the time of earliest mammals, 9 of these opsins had already been lost; an additional two were lost in placental mammals. In terms of rod and cone opsins, mammals originally had 4-color vision along with colored oil droplet wavelength filters like lizards, turtles and birds still do.

Degeneration of the mammalian retina was the subject of a 1942 book by Gordon Walls. Although opsin were not sequenced until 50 years later, he anticipated their loss from detailed anatomical considerations. Walls proposed that mammals experienced a multi-million year bottleneck of deep forest nocturnality (rather than cave, marine or subterranean lifestyle) during their evolution and attributed opsin loss to loss of darwinian selection. Cone opsin loss has been previously studied in marine mammals (dolphin SWS1 opsin pseudogenized) and fruit bats (again SWS1 loss).

The figure above -- derived from exhaustive opsin gene family annotation in all available genome projects -- shows that the immediate rodent ancestor of naked mole-rat (NMR) had eight phylogenetically expected opsins, as mouse does today. The Nature article addresses the opsin portfolio of mole-rat but constrained by article size limits and the many other genes deserving commentary.

According to the article,

"We further examined the molecular basis for poor visual function and small eyes in the NMR (naked mole-rat). Of the four vertebrate opsin genes (RHO, OPN1LW, OPN1MW and OPN1SW), two (OPN1LW and OPN1MW) were missing; this distinguishes the NMR from other rodents with dichromatic color vision, such as mice, rats and guinea pigs. However, the NMR has intact RHO (rhodopsin) and OPN4 (melanopsin), supporting the presence of rod-dominated retina and the capacity to distinguish light/dark cues."

"Of about 200 genes associated with visual perception (GO:0007601) in humans and mice, almost 10% were inactivated or missing. These mammalian genes participate in crystallin formation, phototransduction in the retina, retinal development, dark adaptation, night blindness and colour vision.... Inactivation of CRYBA4, a microphthalmia-related gene, may be associated with the small-sized eyes, whereas inactivation of CRYBA4 and CRYBB3 and a NMR-specific mutation in CRYGS may be associated with abnormal eye morphology. Thus, while some genes responsible for vision are preserved, poor visual function may be explained by deterioration of genes coding for various critical components of the visual system."

The first two lines of the article summary table are reproduced above. The other lines are derived here using Blat of mouse opsin repertoire queries. Note the first line OPN1MW is an outright error as this gene is well-known to be a tandem duplication restricted to higher primates with no applicability to other mammals. These duplicates never existed in any ancestor of mole-rat and so was not lost in mole-rat. The genome assembly has good quality in this region; no tandem duplication of opsins specific to the mole-rat lineage occurs.

The second line is also in error. The terminal exon of mole-rat OPN1LW (LWS) is readily recovered by Blat of mouse query against mole-rat assembly. This gene fragment occurs in mole-rat in the expected syntenic location IRAK1 MECP2 OPN1LW TEX28 with conserved strand orientations. Because of assembly gaps, this exon could be either part of an intact gene or be all that is left after a large deletion, as discussed in depth below.

The article does not discuss OPN1SW, the short wavelength opsin lost in marine mammal and bat. This cone opsin is however present in mole-rat and little diverged from available rodent orthologs. This suggests functionality, apart from a six residue deletion in exon 4 associated with a frameshift in a run of six thymidines TTTTTT that would preserve reading frame if seven. This may represent inability of short read technology to precede past a compositionally simple region and allow read tiling rather than an actual deletion. No assembly gap is shown in the relevant region (JH170314:3551709-3551938). This region affects the lysine to which retinal is attached the region has to be carefully re-examined.

The other six opsins expected in mole-rat are readily located and appear intact apart from a small number of missing exons. The annotation provided at GenBank for encephalopsin (OPN3) is erroneous. As in all genome assemblies, that of mole-rat has incomplete coverage. Here eight genes were expected and eight can be detected. However only 11 of the 50 expected exons are represented (78% exonic coverage). However if a deletion has taken out 5 exons of OPN1LW (LWS) then coverage is better -- 6 out of 50 missing of 88%.

This article will use standard protein acronyms when assigned gene names have little mneumonic value, do not follow HGNC rules for paralog nomenclature, and do not exist at all for ancestral opsins still present in other amniotes. The table above provides nomenclatural correspondences.

Does mole-rat have OPN1LW (LWS) or just a residual exon?

Since the only detectable OPN1LW exon of mole-rat lies in a region with several large assembly gaps corresponding to the missing exon placement in mouse genome, mole-rat may have a complete functional copy of OPN1LW. Alternatively, the observed genomic compression of this region relative to mouse suggests a large deletion occurred in mole-rat.

Although exons 3 and 4 of mole-rat OPN1LW may lie in assembly gaps, it is not clear why the penultimate exon 5 cannot be recovered by blastx from the region indicated by the green arrow in the figure below. Rapid lineage-specific gain and loss of retroposons can cause intronic and inter-genic regions to diverge very rapidly. Here, the sole correspondences of RepeatMasked sequence between mole-rat and mouse are indicted by the two small regions denoted het1/2 and mus1/2.

Conservation of the amino acid sequence of the sole exon present is high; only very recent pseudogenization is compatible with mostly mild substitutions and no internal stop codons or frameshifts. However the proline replacing arginine -- if the sequence here is correct -- is assuredly disabling in any imaging opsin in any metazoan. This arginine is slightly distal to the retinal binding motif and critical to opsin transducin signalling even in non-opsin GPCR.

The alignment below shows that exon 6 of mole-rat OPN1LW (LWS) has three unusual substitutions but overall is highly conserved as are all mammalian LWS sequences. The proline substituted for arginine at position two is a radical substitution both in terms of physical attributes and site-specific conservation. At the dna level, this represents a CpG hotspot mutation, CGA to CCA. Glutamate for aspartate is a mild substitution in many proteins but not at this site as it is tolerated only in guinea pig and rabbit. It is a transversion GAT to GAG here. Leucine for serine is again an extreme change in amino acid properties at a site not tolerating variation. It arose here as a CTT to CTC transversion in the split codon box of these six-codon amino acids. This region of the LWS protein constitutes the cytoplasmic tail with the usual seven-transmembrane GPCR structure.

The genomic sequence here represents a single male individual. The fragment-only haplotype and these substitutions may not be representative of the overall mole-rat population. Since mole-rats have standard placental XY sex determination and this gene always lies on mammalian chromosome X, males cannot have a compensatory normal copy. However male color blindness is common in other species including human.

In the scenario of balanced polymorphism at this locus, females of a species might attain a measure of trichromatic vision whereas males could not. Should the balancing polymorphism be this deletional pseudogene, the male population would be an equal mixture of functioning and non-functioning at this locus whereas only a quarter of females would. This conceivably could correlate with mole-rats living in large colonies with a single breeding queen.

Within the broader context of imaging opsin comparative genomics, the glutamate/aspartate substitution is very common. While not without effects on interaction of the cytoplasmic tail with transducins, this change in mole-rat LWS is not likely to be disabling. The leucine/serine substitution is not located at a site important overall to imaging opsins; the reason it is invariant from lamprey to mouse/human in LWS is not known. The loss of arginine at 2nd position is completely disabling in any opsin (indeed any GCPR) because it is critical to the signalling mechanism.

Mole-rat OPN1SW (SWS1) deletional frameshift

The mole-rat assembly exhibits an oddity in exon 4 of STS1 that -- if the sequence is accurate -- is more than sufficient to completely disable this opsin as it takes out the retinal binding site. Note defective opsins not only can still be expressed but also have adverse affects on cone health.

The context however is a string of 6 repeated thymidines tttttt below followed by deletions of 7 and then 3 basepairs relative to the closely related mouse sequence. Since the sequencing technique here involved short reads from an Illumina HiSeq 2000, the assembly may have stumbled in this region.

Below an extra T has been introduced to restore reading frame. This still leaves the retinal lysine followed by a phylogenetically unprecedented 3 bp deletion. The V in 4th position also conflicts with deep invariance. This requires too complex a mutational event or equally implausible multiple events at the same site. This region needs to be resequenced with longer read technology.

Below, the mole-rat sequence is compared to orthologs from other theran mammals to display anomalies in the deletion region. Otherwise, mole-rat sequences does not seem too unusual. This would require the putative frameshifting deletion to be extremely recent because otherwise the sequence would be much more diverged elsewhere -- and in a manner oblivious to the general sequence conservation pattern. This observation strongly favors sequence error in the TTTTTTT region.

The place of mole-rats within rodent phylogeny

The issue here is how long has the selective pressure been relaxed on naked mole-rats. For that, close-in outgroups and a dated phylogenetic tree are needed. Seven other species have genome projects available and opsins can be extracted to obtain a baseline for mole-rat opsins and unusual properties they might have. Note guinea pig is the immediate outgroup to mole-rat among genome projects, not mouse or rat.

Unfortunately no genomes have been completed for species with convergent life histories such as blind mole rat (Spalax ehrenbergi) insectivore moles, African golden moles, or marsupial moles. Individual opsins are sometimes available for this species, importantly [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/AF309568,AF139726,AM748539 LWS, melanopsin and rhodopsin] for blind mole rat and four rhodopsin fragments for lawn moles.

Rodent opsin reference sequences

The comparative genomics of opsins have been studied to exhaustion: no variation in exon number or intron location or phasing occurs in any terrestrial vertebrate. The sequences below have one exon per row. The numbers 0 1 2 indicate the observed codon overhang (reading frame). These are deeply conserved within eumetazoans; mole-rat presents no new issues. Processed pseudogenes are absent in opsins, consistent with no gene expression of opsins in terminal germline cell lineages.
