Scientists have discovered that orb weaver spiders’ web glue properties evolve based on the species’ living environment. By studying Argiope argentata and Argiope trifasciata species that inhabit dry and humid environments respectively, researchers found that although the web glue consists of similar proteins, the proportions differ, affecting the glue’s properties. The glue’s ability to absorb water from the atmosphere and its stickiness are crucial for the spiders’ survival, and understanding these adaptations could have potential applications in industry, medicine, and beyond. The genes of orb weaver spiders from different environments are very similar, but their glue proteins and glue properties differ greatly due to differential gene expression. Orb weaver spiders make the capture threads of their webs sticky with an aqueous glue made in special aggregate glands. Scientists studied different species living in different environments to see how the glue changed and found that although the glue was mostly made of the same components, the proportions of the proteins involved were different, changing the glue’s properties. Spiders that don’t weave good silk don’t get to eat. The silk spiders produce which creates their webs is key to their survival – but spiders live in many different places which require webs fine-tuned for local success. Scientists studied the glue that makes orb weaver spiders’ webs sticky to understand how its material properties vary in different conditions. “Discovering the sticky protein components of biological glues opens the doors to determining how material properties evolve,” said Dr Nadia Ayoub of Washington and Lee University, co-corresponding author of the study published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. “Spider silk fibers and glues represent a fantastic model for answering such questions since they are primarily made of proteins and proteins are encoded by genes.” “Spider silks and glues have huge biomimetic potential,” added Dr Brent Opell of Virginia Tech, co-corresponding author. “Spiders make glues with impressive properties that would have applications in industry, medicine, and beyond.” Tangled Up in Spider Webs Each strand of an orb weaver spider’s web contributes to the capture of food. The web has a stiff frame which absorbs the impact of prey, which are then trapped by sticky lines until the spider can tackle them. These lines are made sticky by an aqueous glue synthesized in aggregate glands. The glue absorbs water from the atmosphere and needs to be optimized to achieve the best stickiness results for the local humidity. But there are many species of orb weaver spider living in different environments, which means their glue must adapt to different levels of humidity. To understand how spider glue stickiness adapts, Ayoub and her colleagues focused on two species, Argiope argentata — which lives in dry environments — and Argiope trifasciata, which lives in humid environments. The team collected webs from A. trifasciata in the wild and had A. argentata spiders build webs in the lab. To ensure that these webs were equivalent to webs in the wild, the scientists fed the spiders a diet comparable to their usual prey and compared glue droplet volume to wild controls to make sure that the humidity in the lab wasn’t affecting the droplets’ properties. They then analyzed the proteins in the glue and the droplets’ material properties. A Sticky Situation The team found that droplets from A. argentata spiders are smaller than those from A. trifasciata and absorb less water as local humidity increases. They also had smaller protein cores, occupying a smaller proportion of the droplet’s volume, and absorbed less water from the atmosphere. The toughness of glue droplets for both species of spider is based on the stiffness of the protein core of the droplets, and A. argentata protein core toughness decreased as the humidity went up. A. argentata thread glue droplets were generally more closely spaced and stickier. The scientists also analyzed the proteins found in the glue droplets to understand how these differences in material properties arise from the proteins. Although the proteins they found were similar, they appeared in different proportions, and A. argentata glue contained the protein products of four genes that didn’t appear in A. trifasciata glue. These extra proteins and a more balanced ratio of AgSp1 and AgSp2 proteins may explain both the greater toughness of this glue and its lower capacity for water absorption. “Despite the dramatic differences in material properties, the two species share most of their protein components,” said Opell. “The sequences of these proteins are also similar between species, but the relative abundance of individual proteins differs. Modifying the ratios of proteins is likely a rapid mechanism to adjust material properties of biological glues.” “This study only examined two species, so our proposed relationships between proteins and material properties are limited,” cautioned Ayoub. “However, we are in the process of documenting protein components and material properties of a diverse set of species, which will allow more power to detect the mechanisms of how proteins give rise to material properties.” Reference: “Orb weaver aggregate glue protein composition as a mechanism for rapid evolution of material properties” by Nadia A.

Systems biology studies how different living organisms at many scales interact. Systems biology studies the interactions within living organisms using computational models. It has applications in improving biofuels and understanding carbon cycling in ecosystems. Microbes, plants, animals, and entire ecosystems all play individual roles in the natural world, which is a complex system of interlocking parts. Systems biology approaches the study of living organisms holistically. It investigates how various living organisms interact at various scales. Every human being, for example, is a system. Our organs, tissues, cells, and the molecules they are made of, as well as bacteria and other organisms that live on our skin and in our digestive system, are all part of the system. Systems biology studies these parts and how they work together. Scientists can scale a systems biology approach up and down depending on the size of the system they are studying. For example, human organs can act as their own systems, made up of cells, proteins, and amino acids. Systems biology relies on computational and mathematical analysis and modeling. It draws its data from a huge range of biological sciences and technologies that researchers often call “-omics.” Some of these “omics” include genomics (the study of complete sets of genes in an organism) and proteomics (the study of all the proteins in a cell, tissue, or organism). These disciplines share an emphasis on characterizing and quantifying the biological molecules behind how organisms are built, function, and live. Systems biology has many potential applications. One major application is bioenergy research. Scientists are working to understand plants that could be used for biofuel, including how they grow, the microbes that break them down, and how these components work together. This approach helps scientists improve the system behind biofuels to make more efficient, cost effective, and renewable fuels. Systems biology is also critical to understanding the cycling of carbon. Much of the world’s carbon dioxide is stored in ecosystems such as forests and tundra. Scientists are studying the complex interactions between the soils and plants that capture carbon dioxide as well as the microbes that break down organic material and release its carbon as carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Fast Facts Systems biology studies of the genomes of soil-dwelling microbes discovered that they are also infected by thousands of different viruses that affect how they modify carbon-rich organic material. Comparing the decoded genomes of different plants helps us understand how plants sequester carbon dioxide and store carbon in cellulose and other polymers that constitute the plant body. Baker’s yeasts are used to make ethanol not only for beer but also as a biofuel. Understanding their systems biology allows scientists to engineer new yeast strains that can one day produce a replacement for gasoline. Department of Energy Office of Science Contributions to Systems Biology The Department of Energy Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program funds a broad range of research that rests on a systems biology perspective. One major effort is DOE’s Genomic Science program, which applies systems biology to problems involving energy and the environment. Starting with the genetic information encoded in organisms’ genomes, BER research seeks to discover the principles that guide the translation of the genetic code. Researchers also study the metabolic and regulatory networks underlying the physiology of plants and microbes as they respond to and modify their environments. This understanding will help researchers design microbes and plants that contribute to energy independence and clean energy. For example, systems biology could lead to better biofuels and bioproducts, improved carbon storage, and new control over nutrients and contaminants in the environment.

Researchers at Michigan State University found that tomato plants utilize two separate metabolic pathways to produce acylsugars in roots and trichomes, offering new strategies for natural pest resistance in agriculture. Credit: SciTechDaily.com In a new study recently published by Science Advances, Michigan State University researchers reveal an unexpected genetic revelation about the sugars found in “tomato tar,” shedding light on plant defense mechanisms and their potential applications in pest control. Tomato tar, a familiar nuisance of avid gardeners, is the sticky, gold-black substance that clings to hands after touching the plant. It turns out that the characteristic stickiness of the substance serves an important purpose. It’s made of a type of sugar called acylsugar that acts as a natural flypaper for would-be pests. “Plants have evolved to make so many amazing poisons and other biologically active compounds,” said Michigan State researcher Robert Last, leader of the study. The Last lab specializes in acylsugars and the tiny, hair-like structures where they’re produced and stored, known as trichomes. In a surprising discovery, researchers have found acylsugars, once thought to be found exclusively in trichomes, in tomato roots as well. This finding is a genetic enigma that raises as many questions as it does insights. The objective of the MSU study was to learn about the origins and function of these root acylsugars. They found that not only do tomato plants synthesize chemically unique acylsugars in their roots and trichomes, but these acylsugars are produced through two parallel metabolic pathways. This is the equivalent of assembly lines in an auto factory making two different models of the same car, but never interacting. In Michigan State’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, tomato seedlings are grown for the Last lab’s research into the Solanaceae plant family, also known as nightshades. The researchers analyzed unique chemical differences between roots and shoots, both of which contained acylsugars. Credit: Connor Yeck/MSU These findings are helping scientists gain a better understanding of the resilience and evolutionary story of Solanaceae, or nightshades, a sprawling family of plants that includes tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, peppers, tobacco, and petunias. They could also provide valuable information for researchers looking to develop molecules made by plants into compounds to help humanity. “From pharmaceuticals, to pesticides, to sunscreens, many small molecules that humans have adapted for different uses come from the arms race between plants, microbes, and insects,” Last said. Roots and Shoots Beyond key chemicals essential for growth, plants also produce a treasure trove of compounds that play a crucial role in environmental interactions. These can attract useful pollinators and are the first line of defense against harmful organisms. “What’s so remarkable about these specialized metabolites is that they’re typically synthesized in highly precise cells and tissues,” said Rachel Kerwin, a postdoctoral researcher at MSU and first author of the latest paper. “Take for instance acylsugars. You won’t find them produced in the leaves or stems of a tomato plant. These physically sticky defense metabolites are made right in the tip of the trichomes.” When it was reported that acylsugars could be found in tomato roots as well, Kerwin took it as a call for old-fashioned genetic detective work. From left to right: Jaynee Hart, Rachel Kerwin and Robert Last pose in front of analytical equipment at Michigan State University’s Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core. The team of researchers unraveled an evolutionary and genetic mystery in tomato plants. Credit: Connor Yeck/MSU “The presence of these acylsugars in roots was fascinating and led to so many questions. How did this happen, how are they being made and are they different from the trichome acylsugars we’ve been studying?” To begin tackling the evolutionary enigma, lab members collaborated with specialists at MSU’s Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core and staff at the Max T. Rogers Nuclear Magnetic Resonance facility. In comparing metabolites from tomato seedlings’ roots and shoots, a variety of differences appeared. The basic chemical makeup of the aboveground and belowground acylsugars were noticeably different, so much so that they could be defined as different classes of acylsugars entirely. Breaking the Car Last, a University Distinguished Professor in MSU’s College of Natural Science’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Department of Plant Biology, offers a useful analogy to explain how a geneticist approaches biology. “Imagine trying to figure out how a car works by breaking one component at a time,” he said. “If you flatten a car’s tires and notice the engine still runs, you’ve discovered a critical fact even if you don’t know what the tires exactly do.” Switch out car parts for genes, and you get a clearer picture of the work accomplished by the Last lab to further crack the code on root acylsugars. Looking at public genetic sequence data, Kerwin noticed that many of the genes expressed in tomato trichome acylsugar production had close relatives in roots. After identifying an enzyme believed to be the first step in root acylsugar biosynthesis, the researchers began “breaking the car.” When they knocked out the root acylsugar candidate gene, root acylsugar production vanished, leaving trichome acylsugar production untouched. Meanwhile, when the well-studied trichome acylsugar gene was knocked out, root acylsugar production carried on as usual. These findings offered striking proof of a suspected metabolic mirroring. “Alongside the aboveground acylsugar pathway we’ve been studying for years, here we find this second parallel universe that exists underground,” Last said. “This confirmed we have two pathways co-existing in the same plant,” Kerwin added. To drive home this breakthrough, Jaynee Hart, a postdoctoral researcher and second author on the latest paper, looked closer at the functions of trichome and root enzymes. Just as trichome enzymes and the acylsugars they produce are a well-studied chemical match, she found a promising link between root enzymes and the root acylsugars as well. “Studying isolated enzymes is a powerful tool for ascertaining their activity and drawing conclusions about their functional role inside the plant cell,” Hart explained. These findings were further proof of the parallel metabolic pathways that exist in a single tomato plant. “Plants and cars are so different, yet similar in that when you open the proverbial hood you become aware of the multitude of parts and connections that make them function. This work gives us new knowledge about one of those parts in tomato plants and prompts further research into its evolution and function and whether we can make use of it in other ways,” said Pankaj Jaiswal, a program director at the U.S. National Science Foundation, which funded the work. “The more we learn about living things — from tomatoes and other crops to animals and microbes — the broader the opportunities to employ that learning to benefit society,” he added. Clusters Within Clusters The paper also reports a fascinating and unexpected twist concerned with biosynthetic gene clusters, or BGCs. BGCs are collections of genes that are physically grouped on the chromosome and contribute to a particular metabolic pathway. Previously, the Last lab identified a BGC containing genes linked to trichome acylsugars in tomato plants. Kerwin, Hart, and their collaborators have now discovered the root-expressed acylsugar enzyme resides in the same cluster. “Usually in BGCs, the genes are co-expressed in the same tissues and under similar conditions,” said Kerwin.“But here, we have two separate yet interlinked groups of genes. Some expressed in trichomes, and some expressed in roots.” This revelation led Kerwin to dive into the evolutionary trajectory of Solanaceae species, with hopes of identifying when and how these two unique acylsugar pathways developed. Specifically, the researchers drew attention to a moment some 19 million years ago when the enzyme responsible for trichome acylsugars was duplicated. This enzyme would one day be responsible for the newly discovered root-expressed acylsugar pathway. The exact mechanism that “switched on” this enzyme in roots remains unknown, paving the way for the Last lab to continue to unpack the evolutionary and metabolic secrets of the nightshade family. “Working with Solanaceae provides so many scientific resources, as well as a strong community of researchers,” said Kerwin. “Through their importance as crops and in horticulture, these are plants humans have cared about for thousands of years.” For Last, these breakthroughs are also a reminder of the importance of natural pesticides, which defense metabolites such as acylsugars ultimately represent. “If we find that these root acylsugars are effective at repelling harmful organisms, could they be bred into other nightshades, thereby helping plants grow without the need for harmful synthetic fungicides and pesticides?” Last asked. “These are questions at the core of humanity’s pursuit of purer water, safer food and a reduced reliance on harmful synthetic chemicals.” Reference: “Tomato root specialized metabolites evolved through gene duplication and regulatory divergence within a biosynthetic gene cluster” by Rachel E.
