Evolutionary theory predicts that alleles affecting natural variation in life span will have properties that enable them to persist in populations at intermediate frequencies, such as late-life–specific deleterious effects, antagonistic pleiotropic effects on early and late-age fitness components, and/or sex- and environment-specific or antagonistic effects. Here, we quantified variation in life span in males and females reared in 3 thermal environments for the sequenced, inbred lines of the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) and an advanced intercross outbred population derived from a subset of DGRP lines. Quantitative genetic analyses of life span and the micro-environmental variance of life span in the DGRP revealed significant genetic variance for both traits within each sex and environment, as well as significant genotype-by-sex interaction (GSI) and genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI). Genome-wide association (GWA) mapping in both populations implicates over 2,000 candidate genes with sex- and environment-specific or antagonistic pleiotropic allelic effects. Over 1,000 of these genes are associated with variation in life span in other D. melanogaster populations. We functionally assessed the effects of 15 candidate genes using RNA interference (RNAi): all affected life span and/or micro-environmental variance of life span in at least one sex and environment and exhibited sex-and environment-specific effects.

Drosophila melanogaster can serve as a translational model for studies on substance abuse, since flies have a dopamine transporter that can bind cocaine and methamphetamine, and exposure to these compounds elicits effects similar to those observed in people, suggesting conserved evolutionary mechanisms underlying drug responses. Here, we used the D. melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel to investigate the genetic basis for variation in psychostimulant drug consumption, to determine whether similar or distinct genetic networks underlie variation in consumption of cocaine and methamphetamine, and to assess the extent of sexual dimorphism and effect of genetic context on variation in voluntary drug consumption. Quantification of natural genetic variation in voluntary consumption, preference, and change in consumption and preference over time for cocaine and methamphetamine uncovered significant genetic variation for all traits, including sex-, exposure- and drug-specific genetic variation. Genome wide association analyses identified both shared and drug-specific candidate genes, which could be integrated in genetic interaction networks.

However, identifying causal links between DNA sequence variants and variation in phenotypes is challenging in human populations, due to large blocks of linkage disequilibrium in the genome and heterogeneous developmental histories, lifestyles, and social and physical environments. Drosophila melanogaster presents a powerful genetic model, since linkage disequilibrium decays rapidly, facilitating assignment of causality to polymorphisms associated with phenotypic variation, and large numbers of individuals can be reared under defined environmental conditions, economically, and without regulatory restrictions. The D. melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP), a population of 205 sequenced, inbred wild-derived flies, has enabled genome-wide association studies of morphological, physiological, behavioral, and life history traits, and demonstrated that genetic architectures of complex traits are highly polygenic, sexually dimorphic, and context dependent with extensive sex-, environment-, and genetic background (epistatic) effects. These features together with a modular organization of the transcriptome illustrate a dynamic integrative genetic architecture for complex traits. The complexity of the genetic architectures for complex traits in Drosophila provides important caveats for the interpretation of genetic studies in human populations. Aspects of the genetic underpinnings of complex traits can be represented as simplified gene networks on which human orthologues can be superimposed to provide blueprints for subsequent studies on analogous traits in human populations. Fundamental principles of the genetic architectures of Drosophila complex traits are likely applicable across phyla, from the DGRP to human populations.}, number={1-2}, journal={Mammalian Genome}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Anholt, Robert R.

Here, we used the inbred, sequenced, wild-derived lines of the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) to perform three complementary genome-wide association (GWA) studies for natural variation in olfactory behavior. The first GWA focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with mean differences in olfactory behavior in the DGRP, the second was an extreme quantitative trait locus GWA on an outbred advanced intercross population derived from extreme DGRP lines, and the third was for SNPs affecting the variance among DGRP lines. No individual SNP in any analysis was associated with variation in olfactory behavior by using a strict threshold accounting for multiple tests, and no SNP overlapped among the analyses. However, combining the top SNPs from all three analyses revealed a statistically enriched network of genes involved in cellular signaling and neural development. We used mutational and gene expression analyses to validate both candidate genes and network connectivity at a high rate. The lack of replication between the GWA analyses, small marginal SNP effects, and convergence on common cellular networks were likely attributable to epistasis.

We assessed allele frequency changes between pools of individuals at the extremes of the distribution for each trait in the Flyland population by deep DNA sequencing.

The olfactory system of Drosophila melanogaster is one of the best characterized chemosensory systems and serves as a prototype for understanding insect olfaction. Olfaction in Drosophila is mediated by multigene families of odorant receptors and odorant binding proteins (OBPs). Although molecular response profiles of odorant receptors have been well documented, the contributions of OBPs to olfactory behavior remain largely unknown. Here, we used RNAi‐mediated suppression of Obp gene expression and measurements of behavioral responses to 16 ecologically relevant odorants to systematically dissect the functions of 17 OBPs. We quantified the effectiveness of RNAi‐mediated suppression by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction and used a proteomic liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry procedure to show target‐specific suppression of OBPs expressed in the antennae. Flies in which expression of a specific OBP is suppressed often show altered behavioral responses to more than one, but not all, odorants, in a sex‐dependent manner. Similarly, responses to a specific odorant are frequently affected by suppression of expression of multiple, but not all, OBPs. These results show that OBPs are essential for mediating olfactory behavioral responses and suggest that OBP‐dependent odorant recognition is combinatorial.}, number={6}, journal={GENES BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR}, author={Swarup, S. and Williams, T.

This multiple testing problem can be surmounted with very large population sizes when common alleles of large effects give rise to disease status. However, GWA approaches fall short when many rare alleles may give rise to a common disease, or when the number of subjects that can be recruited is limited. Here, we demonstrate that this multiple testing problem can be overcome by a comparative genomics approach in which an initial genome-wide screen in a genetically amenable model organism is used to identify human orthologues that may harbor risk alleles for adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness, which affects over 60 million people worldwide. Several genes have been associated with juvenile onset glaucoma, but genetic factors that predispose to adult onset primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) remain largely unknown. Previous genome-wide analysis in a Drosophila ocular hypertension model identified transcripts with altered regulation and showed induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR) upon overexpression of transgenic human glaucoma-associated myocilin (MYOC). We selected 16 orthologous genes with 62 polymorphic markers and identified in two independent human populations two genes of the UPR that harbor POAG risk alleles, BIRC6 and PDIA5. Thus, effectiveness of the UPR in response to accumulation of misfolded or aggregated proteins may contribute to the pathogenesis of POAG and provide targets for early therapeutic intervention.}, number={5}, journal={PLOS ONE}, author={Carbone, Mary Anna and Chen, Yuhong and Hughes, Guy A. and Weinreb, Robert N. and Zabriskie, Norman A. and Zhang, Kang and Anholt, Robert R.

(I assume the New Testament was peer reviewed?) The Elements of Evolutionary Genetics is a work of biblical proportions for the age of genetics. For much of the 20th Century, evolutionary genetics was an arcane field populated by nerdy mathematically inclined biologists. However, population genetics provides the tools necessary for analysis of gene sequence data, in particular the wealth of information now available on population variation in humans and other ‘model ’ species. The human genome sequence, originally trumpeted as the ‘blueprint ’ for humanity, actually makes little sense without an understanding of how and why gene sequences vary between individuals, populations and species. In the face of the avalanche of gene sequence data, population genetics has recently begun to take centre stage in biology. In this context, the publication of this book is very timely. The Charlesworths are leaders in the field, and have covered virtually all areas of population genetic analysis, starting with the basics. Early chapters deal with the measurement of genetic variability, the action of selection and maintenance of variation. Complexity is added with succeeding chapters – such as mutation and migration, the influence of stochastic processes in finite populations and spatial structure. This gradual building from basic principles, with the simpler concepts at the beginning of each chapter leads the reader through the field. I especially enjoyed the section on ‘Testing for selection’, which outlines the multitude of methods now available for detecting the influence of natural selection in DNA sequence data – I shall certainly be recommending sections such as this for graduate and undergraduate student reading in the future. If I have any grumble, it is that inevitably in such a wide-ranging book there was not enough space for any detailed critique of the topics described. In several places, I was left wanting more. As one might expect from the authors, the book contains lots of equations. Nonetheless, the less mathematically able, such as myself, can still take a great deal from it. The text is clearly written and easy to follow, with the more complex maths set aside in text boxes. Unlike in some population genetic texts, here theory is closely intertwined with empirical examples. A nice example is the section on the evolution of sex, where case studies, especially from the complex world of plant sex, are used to highlight the theoretical ideas. So who is likely to read this book? It is described as being aimed at ‘advanced undergraduates ’, and it will certainly be a useful text for advanced courses in evolutionary genetics. However, I think the book will really come into its own at graduate level, where there is no other comparable work that covers such a broad range of topics. I guess that few will read it all the way through from start to finish, but anyone interested in evolution or population genetics should have a copy on their shelves. I certainly anticipate that I will use it as a reference book, for the definitions and principles underlying key concepts are more clearly outlined here than in any other single volume. In a fast-moving field, I anticipate that this book will be a key textbook for many years to come.}, number={4}, journal={Genetics Research}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Anholt, Robert R.

In addition, purification of native proteins from the antenna is challenging because it is small and encased in a hard cuticle. Here, we describe a simple method for the large-scale detection of soluble proteins from the Drosophila antenna by chromatographic separation of tryptic peptides followed by tandem mass spectrometry with femtomole detection sensitivities. Examination of the identities of these proteins indicates that they originate both from the extracellular perilymph and from the cytoplasm of disrupted cells. We identified enzymes involved with intermediary metabolism, proteins associated with regulation of gene expression, nucleic acid metabolism and protein metabolism, proteins associated with microtubular transport, 8 odorant-binding proteins, protective enzymes associated with antibacterial defense and defense against oxidative damage, cuticular proteins, and proteins of unknown function, which represented about one-third of all soluble proteins.

The startle response is an attractive behavioral model for studies on the relationship between genes, brain, and behavior, as the ability to respond rapidly to harmful changes in the environment is a universal survival trait. Drosophila melanogaster provides a powerful system in which genetic studies on individuals with controlled genetic backgrounds and reared under controlled environmental conditions can be combined with neuroanatomical studies to analyze behaviors. In a screen of 720 lines of D. melanogaster , carrying single P[GT1] transposon insertions, we found 267 lines that showed significant changes in startle-induced locomotor behavior. Excision of the transposon reversed this effect in five lines out of six tested. We infer that most of the 267 lines show mutant effects on startle-induced locomotion that are caused by the transposon insertions. We selected a subset of 15 insertions in the same genetic background in autosomal genes with strong mutant effects and crossed them to generate all 105 possible nonreciprocal double heterozygotes. These hybrids revealed an extensive network of epistatic interactions on the behavioral trait. In addition, we observed changes in neuroanatomy that were caused by these 15 mutations, individually and in their double heterozygotes. We find that behavioral and neuroanatomical phenotypes are determined by a common set of genes that are organized as partially overlapping genetic networks. }, number={34}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Yamamoto, Akihiko and Zwarts, Liesbeth and Callaerts, Patrick and Norga, Koenraad and Mackay, Trudy F.

Interference with OM2 expression results in impaired development of branchiomotor neurons, specific disruption of the late phase branchiomotor axon guidance, and affects development of the caudal pharyngeal arches, olfactory pits, eyes and optic tectum. Effects of OM2 knockdown on eye development are likely associated with Pax6 signaling in developing eyes, as Pax6.1 and Pax6.2 mRNA expression patterns are altered in the eyes of OM2 morphants.

Olfactory signaling involves odorant receptor-mediated activation of G(olf), a homologue of G(s), on the dendrites of olfactory neurons. Olfactory receptor cells, however, also express Galpha(i2) and Galpha(o) on their axons, with all neurons expressing G(o) and a subset G(i2). Despite their abundance, possible contributions of G(o) and G(i2) to chemoreception remain unexplored. We investigated whether homologous recombinant mice deficient in the alpha subunit of G(o) are able to respond to odorants, whether possible olfactory impairments are dependent on genetic background, and whether formation of glomeruli in their olfactory bulbs is compromised. In an olfactory habituation/dishabituation test, G(o)-/- mice were unresponsive when exposed to odorants. Analysis of variance shows that performance of G(o)+/- mice crossed into the CD-1 background is also diminished in this test compared to their G(o)+/+ counterparts. Following food deprivation, G(o)-/- mice in the 129 Sv-ter/C57BL/6 genetic background were unable to locate a buried food pellet until they were approximately 10 weeks of age after which they performed as well as their litter mate controls. However, CD-1 G(o)-/- mice could locate a buried food pellet even when tested immediately after weaning. Despite their compromised olfactory responsiveness, histological examination did not reveal gross alterations in the olfactory bulbs of G(o)-/- mice. Thus, Galpha(o) is necessary for the expression of olfactory behavior under normal conditions and dependent on genetic background, but is not essential for the formation and maintenance of glomeruli.}, number={1-2}, journal={BRAIN RESEARCH}, author={Luo, AH and Cannon, EH and Wekesa, KS and Lyman, RF and Vandenbergh, JG and Anholt, RRH}, year={2002}, month={Jun}, pages={62–71} } @article{kulkarni_yamamoto_robinson_mackay_anholt_2002, title={The DSC1 channel, encoded by the smi60E locus, contributes to odor-guided behavior in Drosophila melanogaster}, volume={161}, number={4}, journal={Genetics}, author={Kulkarni, N.

Olfactomedin was originally identified as the major component of the mucus layer that surrounds the chemosensory dendrites of olfactory neurons. Homologues were subsequently found also in other tissues, including the brain and in species ranging from Caenorhabditis elegans to Homo sapiens. Most importantly, the TIGR/myocilin protein, expressed in the eye and associated with the pathogenesis of glaucoma, is an olfactomedin-related protein. The prevalence of olfactomedin-related proteins among species and their identification in different tissues prompted us to investigate whether a gene family exists within a species, specifically Homo sapiens. A GenBank search indeed revealed an entire human gene family of olfactomedin-related proteins with at least five members, designated hOlfA through hOlfD and the TIGR/myocilin protein. hOlfA corresponds to the rat neuronal AMZ protein. Phylogenetic analyses of 18 olfactomedin-related sequences resolved four distinct subfamilies. Among the human proteins, hOlfA and hOlfC, both expressed in brain, are most closely related. Northern blot analyses of 16 human tissues demonstrated highly specific expression patterns: hOlfA is expressed in brain, hOlfB in pancreas and prostate, hOlfC in cerebellum, hOlfD in colon, small intestine and prostate and TIGR/myocilin in heart and skeletal muscle. The link between TIGR/myocilin and ocular hypertension and the expression of several of these proteins in mucus-lined tissues suggest that they play an important role in regulating physical properties of the extracellular environment. Future studies can now assess whether other members of this gene family, like TIGR/myocilin, are also associated with human disease processes.}, number={1}, journal={GENETICAL RESEARCH}, author={Kulkarni, NH and Karavanich, CA and Atchley, WR and Anholt, RRH}, year={2000}, month={Aug}, pages={41–50} } @article{wekesa_anholt_1999, title={Differential expression of G proteins in the mouse olfactory system}, volume={837}, ISSN={["0006-8993"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0006-8993(99)01630-3}, abstractNote={Transmembrane signaling events at the dendrites and axons of olfactory receptor neurons mediate distinct functions. Whereas odorant recognition and chemosensory transduction occur at the dendritic membranes of olfactory neurons, signal propagation, axon sorting and target innervation are functions of their axons. The roles of G proteins in transmembrane signaling at the dendrites have been studied extensively, but axonal G proteins have not been investigated in detail. We used immunohistochemistry to visualize expression of α subunits of Go and Gi2 in the mouse olfactory system. Go is expressed ubiquitously on axons of olfactory receptor neurons throughout the olfactory neuroepithelium and in virtually all glomeruli in the main olfactory bulb. In contrast, expression of Gi2 is restricted to a sub-population of olfactory neurons, along the dorsal septum and the dorsal recess of the nasal cavity, which projects primarily to medial regions of the olfactory bulb, with the exception of glomeruli adjacent to the pathway of the vomeronasal nerve. In contrast to the overlapping expression patterns of Go and Gi2 in the main olfactory system, neurons expressing Go and those expressing Gi2 in the accessory olfactory bulb are more clearly separated, in agreement with previous studies. Vomeronasal axons terminating in glomeruli in the rostral region of the accessory olfactory bulb express Gi2, whereas those projecting to the caudal region express Go. Characterization of the expression patterns of Gi2 and Go in the olfactory projection is essential for future studies aimed at relating transmembrane signaling events to signal propagation, axon sorting and target innervation.}, number={1-2}, journal={BRAIN RESEARCH}, author={Wekesa, KS and Anholt, RRH}, year={1999}, month={Aug}, pages={117–126} } @article{fedorowicz_fry_anholt_mackay_1998, title={Epistatic interactions between smell-impaired loci in Drosophila melanogaster}, volume={148}, number={4}, journal={Genetics}, author={Fedorowicz, G.

As a first step toward elucidating the function of olfactomedin, its phylogenetic history was examined to identify conserved structural motifs. Such conserved motifs may have functional significance and provide targets for future mutagenesis studies aimed at establishing the function of this protein. Previous studies revealed 33% amino acid sequence identity between rat and frog olfactomedins in their carboxyl terminal segments. Further analysis, however, reveals more extensive homologies throughout the molecule. Despite significant sequence divergence, cysteines essential for homopolymer formation such as the CXC motif near the amino terminus are conserved, as is the characteristic glycosylation pattern, suggesting that these posttranslational modifications are essential for function. Furthermore, evolutionary analysis of a region of 53 amino acids of fish, frog, rat, mouse, and human olfactomedins indicates that an ancestral olfactomedin gene arose before the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates and evolved independently in teleost, amphibian, and mammalian lineages. Indeed, a distant olfactomedin homolog was identified in Caenorhabditis elegans. Although the amino acid sequence of this invertebrate protein is longer and highly divergent compared with its vertebrate homologs, the protein from C. elegans shows remarkable similarities in terms of conserved motifs and posttranslational modification sites. Six universally conserved motifs were identified, and five of these are clustered in the carboxyl terminal half of the protein. Sequence comparisons indicate that evolution of the N-terminal half of the molecule involved extensive insertions and deletions; the C-terminal segment evolved mostly through point mutations, at least during vertebrate evolution. The widespread occurrence of olfactomedin among vertebrates and invertebrates underscores the notion that this protein has a function of universal importance. Furthermore, extensive modification of its N-terminal half and the acquisition of a C-terminal SDEL endoplasmic-reticulum-targeting sequence may have enabled olfactomedin to adopt new functions in the mammalian central nervous system.}, number={6}, journal={MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION}, author={Karavanich, CA and Anholt, RRH}, year={1998}, month={Jun}, pages={718–726} } @inbook{karavanich_anholt_1998, title={Olf evolution of olfactomedin: Structural constraints and conservation of primary sequence motifs}, volume={855}, booktitle={Olfaction and taste XII: An international symposium}, publisher={New York, NY: New York Academy of Sciences}, author={Karavanich, C.
