ABSTRACT

All species do not occur everywhere. What limits a species range? Why are some species widely distributed while others confined to particular habitat? These are classic ecological questions that can be explored by comparative ecological studies, experimental manipulation to explore limiting conditions, and genetics to explore local adaptation. In this thesis, I attempt to take all of these approaches to investigate species range limits in Primula species in the Himalaya. The genus Primula L. are high altitude specialist species, and are one of the most dominant herbaceous plant community found in cold and moist regions of the Sikkim Himalaya.

We conducted transplant experiments, in which rhizomes were transplanted across species’ altitudinal ranges and beyond their range limits, into different competitive environments. The performance of focal Primual species at center of their altitudinal ranges was best suggesting that environmental conditions at range margin are stressful. Additionally, the differences in performance of transplants at below and above range sites suggest that different factors might control range limit of species at the lower and higher altitudes. The decreased survival of transplants at above range sites may be attributed to low temperature conditions, as climate is considered as the main deterministic factor controlling the distribution ranges of species at high altitude. However, the disequilibrium in observed range limit and the ecological niche limit of P. denticulata a wide-ranging species at lower altitude may be attributed to biotic factors. Furthermore, our study reveals capacity for rapid adaptation to climate change through transcriptome variation, which may facilitate the phenotypic plasticity observed in morphological and life history traits. However, the reduced reproductive fitness under temperature stress conditions may lead to small population size and the likelihood of low genetic diversity.

Flowering plants have evolved complex molecular mechanisms that ensure successful pollination and seed set. Continuous cell-cell communication between the pollen (male) and cells of the pistil (female part of the flower) is a critical determinant of reproductive success. The stigma, a specialized female tissue of the pistil receives and facilitates the growth of desirable pollen and blocks less desirable pollen for fertilization. Stigma development and receptivity (ability to accept compatible pollen) is likely regulated through reactive oxygen species (ROS). A functionally redundant mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade ensures stigma receptivity in Arabidopsis (Jamshed et al., 2020). Self-­recognition and self-incompatibility (SI) are mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization and consequent inbreeding in flowering plants. Molecular and genetic analyses of SI system have uncovered a complex, receptor-ligand mediated, phosphorylation-dependent signaling pathway that coordinates the rejection of self pollen. Fascinatingly, the members of mustard family utilize methylglyoxal, a metabolic by product of glycolysis to bring about SI response (Sankaranarayanan et al., 2015; Kenney et al., 2020). Compatible pollination results in a rapid stigma senescence response (Sankaranarayanan et al., 2013). Following which, the pollen forms a pollen tube to transport the non-motile sperm cells to the ovules for double fertilization. Defensin-like peptide LUREs function as pollen tube attractants secreted by the synergid cells of the ovules (Okuta et al., 2009). In Torenia fournieri, an ovular competency factor AMOR glycan is required to perceive LUREs (Mizukami et al., 2016). 4-methyl-glucuronosyl galactose, the terminal sugar of AMOR glycan is essential and sufficient for the competency induction of pollen tubes (Jiao et al., 2017). In Arabidopsis, glucuronic acid molecule likely functions in interspecies recognition. Given that pollination is an important event in plant reproduction, understanding the molecular mechanisms contributing to successful pollination could result in strategies to improve crop yield.

The current vision of our laboratory is to use simple systems to understand universal, organizational principles of metabolic information flow within and between cells, and address how metabolism controls cell states. For this, we use integrative approaches to address questions across three scales: (i) metabolites, (ii) metabolic sensing & signaling, and (iii) systems and collectives. In the past ~5 years, we have used this approach to uncover the roles of several metabolites in regulating cell states. As an illustrative example of how to go from identifying the function of a metabolite to mechanisms of sensing and signaling, I will present studies on how the amino acid methionine functions as a growth signal, by controlling conserved metabolic and transcriptional/ translational programs, through specific molecular machinery. I will also briefly summarize other findings of molecular mechanisms through which cells modulate resource allocations for distinct outcomes, based on the availability of carbon and nitrogen. Finally, I will sum up  studies that address how metabolic constraints can determine functional specialization and division of labor within clonal communities. These diverse studies, performed in simple model systems, have revealed conserved mechanisms and processes through which metabolites regulate cell states. Our findings are now being extended to investigations in more complex systems through collaborative efforts.

Our survival and well-being are predicated on the ability of the nervous system to transform complementary sensory cues into stimulus-appropriate motor responses. The spinal cord represents a crucial node in this process - a diverse array of spinal neurons is tasked with converting somatosensory stimuli into actionable cues and transforming descending motor instructions into specific muscle activation patterns. In order to then dissect the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor control, it is necessary to identify the cell types that constitute the cord, reveal the molecular repertoire that endows the cell types with their functional specializations, and illuminate the network architecture in which the cell types are embedded. To address this, in my postdoctoral work, first, I defined the cell types of the adult mammalian spinal cord by adapting new techniques in single cell biology. Using gene expression profiles of thousands of individual spinal cord cells, I identified 43 distinct neuronal cell types and established the first major atlas of adult spinal cord cell types. With this atlas in hand, I next sought to systematically probe how different brain regions interact with spinal neurons. Virus-based mapping of descending inputs revealed a previously uncharacterized, direct pathway from the cerebellum to the spinal cord, challenging the existing notion that the cerebellum communicates with the spinal cord only through indirect relays in the brain stem. Using intersectional genetic labeling strategies, I found that cerebellospinal neurons constitute a small minority of excitatory neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei, target pre-motor circuits in the ventral spinal cord and the brain, and control distinct aspects of movement. Together, my work greatly expands our knowledge of adult spinal cord neurons and provides new insights into the organizational logic of motor networks.

Neuronal microcircuits are the building blocks of the brain. Hence, understanding how these circuits operate has direct implications in comprehending brain function, and its dysfunction. Microcircuits compute by integrating inputs from multiple sources of excitation and inhibition. However, an increasing number of neurons in the brain co-transmit both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. How such co-transmission facilitates circuit function is poorly understood. In my postdoctoral work, employing a combination of state-of the-art techniques including 2-photon imaging and optogenetics, I revealed that co-transmission from retinal starburst amacrine cells was critical for generating direction selectivity in downstream ganglion cells. Further experiments revealed that switching to a single source of excitation and inhibition allows the circuit to compute robustly in the face of mounting noise. These findings provide new insights on the circuitry generating direction selectivity in retinal ganglion cells, and more generally reveal the potential for co-transmission in coding information in neuronal circuits.​

Phosphatidylinositol 5 phosphate 4-kinases (PIP4K) are metazoan specific lipid kinases that regulate phosphatidylinositol 5 phosphate (PI5P) levels in cells. The loss of PIP4K in various metazoans perturbs physiological functions like growth, insulin sensitivity, tumor growth and immune cell activation. However, the biochemical mechanism by which PIP4K controls these functions in vivo is unclear.

The Drosophila genome encodes a single PIP4K gene (dPIP4K) that regulates growth promoting TORC1 activity and cell growth (Gupta et al., 2013; Mathre et al., 2019). In vitro, dPIP4K can phosphorylate both phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PI5P) and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P). It has previously been reported that PI5P levels are elevated and cell size is decreased in dPIP4K mutants (dPIP4K29) (Gupta et al., 2013).  However, it is not clear if elevated PI5P levels caused the decrease in cell size in dPIP4K29. Therefore, it was essential to be able to measure the levels of the aforementioned phosphoinositides from Drosophila tissues to understand the biochemical mechanism of dPIP4K function. In this thesis seminar I will discuss the efforts that I undertook to (a) design assays to measure low abundant phosphoinositides PI5P and PI3P from Drosophila tissues using highly sensitive LC-MS/MS platforms (Ghosh et al., 2019), (b) biochemistry and genetic experiments to determine the signaling lipid responsible for controlling cell size in dPIP4K29 mutants.

Briefly, apart from the previously reported elevation in PI5P levels, dPIP4K29 mutants show elevation in PI3P levels. Interestingly, it was observed that the catalytic activity of dPIP4K was essential to rescue the elevated PI3P levels in dPIP4K29. Further, changing PI3P levels and not PI5P levels in dPIP4K29 rescues the cell size defect. These findings raise the possibility that elevations in PI3P may also regulate mTORC1 and cell growth in dPIP4K29. Consistent with this idea, down-regulation of mtm, a 3-phophatase that can degrade PI3P, reduces Drosophila salivary gland cell size. Finally, the elevated PI3P in dPIP4K29 increases autophagy and down-regulation of a molecular component downstream of PI3P formation in the autophagy pathway rescues the cell size defect of dPIP4K29. Therefore, this thesis work defines PI3P levels controlled by dPIP4K as a novel regulator of cell size.

Dry forests are highly threatened ecosystems that now face additional challenges due to climate change. In the future, rainfall is predicted to become more pulsed – a shift towards heavier rainfall events separated by longer droughts - and this can significantly impact the survival and growth of dry forest seedlings. In this thesis, I used an experimental approach to investigate the responses of dry forest seedlings of different ages to drought and pulsed rainfall regimes when grown alone and in competition with grasses and evaluated whether their responses can be predicted by some commonly measured plant functional traits.

 

In my first experiment, I quantified the drought tolerance of very young (3-week old) seedlings from 7 species common to dry forests of southern India. Germinated seedlings were divided into a control and a drought group. The drought group was deprived of water from 3-weeks of age until they died, while the control group received water every 1-2 days until 42 days old. The seedlings displayed substantial drought resistance, surviving for a minimum of 3 weeks without water. Species with larger seeds and denser wood survived the longest. This work was published in the Journal of Tropical Ecology (Krishnan et al., 2019).

 

In my second experiment, 4-month old seedlings from 19 species were subjected to either a pulsed or a control rainfall regime. Both groups received the same total amount of water over the course of the experiment, but the pulsed group received water every 12th day (572 ml) while the control received water every 3rd day (143 ml) for a total of 110 days. There were no discernible differences in the size of the seedlings between the two groups. The seedlings in both groups showed no change in height or number of leaves over the course of the experiment. However, seedlings did show decreases in stem diameter, where those that were larger at the beginning of the experiment, shrank more by the end, both within and across species. Surprisingly, species with high SLA were smaller by the end of the experiment. Finally, species with higher stem specific density (SSD) and greater root biomass, shrank less over the experimental period.

 

In my final experiment, 2-week old dry forest seedlings were either grown alone or in competition with established grasses and were subjected to the same pulsed and control rainfall treatments described in the second experiment for 42 days. Seedling growth was reduced only when seedlings were subjected to both pulsed rainfall and grass competition. Seedlings subjected to just grass competition or pulsed rainfall alone showed no differences in growth over the experimental period. Species with higher SLA showed higher growth when grown with competition under the control rainfall regime, but those same species showed reduced growth under the pulsed rainfall regime while also increasing the ratio of root to shoot biomass.

 

In summary, my PhD research demonstrates that dry forest tree seedlings are remarkably drought resistance and though functional traits were significant predictors, they accounted for only a small amount of variation in seedling growth and survival. However, drought in combination with grass competition does pose a threat to young dry forest seedlings. Taken together, results from my experiments suggest that changes in rainfall patterns towards more pulsed regimes in dry forests is likely to favour larger seeded species and those with lower SLA and higher SSD.

Butterfly wing patterns are key ecological adaptations that have undergone rapid evolutionary change. They perform diverse and essential functions from sexual selection and predator avoidance to thermoregulation. How are genetic and developmental networks rewired to accommodate and maintain this diversity? Using the female-limited polymorphic Batesian mimicry in Papilio polytes, a classic example of complex polymorphisms, we delve into the genetic and developmental regulation of wing patterning. We observed that the mimetic polymorphism in this species group was governed by rapidly evolving allelic variants and differential developmental regulation of the highly conserved gene, doublesex. The female forms in P. polytes follow a strict dominance hierarchy and have evolved in a step-wise fashion through Haldane's sieve with each successive novel mimetic form having complete dominance over pre-existing forms. However, novel wing phenotypes could arise from rearrangements in existing form-specific alleles. We further identified key developmental stages for dsx activity and identified potential dsx targets which were distinct and non-overlapping between wing patterning and reproductive functions. We also identified tissue and form-specific activity of dsx isoforms in females which may facilitate subfunctionalization of dsx activity giving rise to differential wing patterns. Further, we traced the expression of genes involved in pigment production and perception which showed a sexually dimorphic pattern of developmental heterochrony. We thus show that the constrained genetic architecture, tissue-specific developmental regulation and functional partitioning of isoforms may maintain balanced polymorphisms, but an interaction between dominance, rapid molecular divergence and rare recombination may still facilitate novel forms in evolving polymorphisms.

Specificity of a protein structure is an outcome of complex interplay of myriad bonded and non-bonded, additive and repulsive interactive forces that are summed up to a folded structure which is typically stable by only 5-10 kcal/mole in cellular environment. It is thus understandable that thermodynamic stability of a protein fold is essential to adopt the desired structure. Broadly, hydrophobic effect has been attributed as a major driving force of protein folding that imparts stability by minimizing the loss of solvent entropy. Hence, residues that dictate the topology of a protein fold are often found conserved at the core. Aromatic amino acids being hydrophobic are often present at the core of a protein, where the sidechains are involved in paired interactions. In such cases, orientation of the interacting aromatic moieties can become a critical determinant of the packing and topology of a protein. However, dissecting the complex network of interactions that constrain the protein polypeptide chain to a low-energy structure is still challenging.

 My present work aims to highlight the importance of non bonded aromatic interactions inside a protein core that ensures structural specificity and stability using Small Ubiquitin-Like Modifier (SUMO) as a model protein. SUMO is a common post-translational modifier that affects diverse cellular processes. We found that a highly conserved aromatic triad of three amino acids F36-Y51-F64 is a unique signature of SUMO that is absent in other Ubiquitin Like (Ubl) homologous folds. The specific edge-to-face conformation between the Tyr-Phe (Y51-F64) pair of interacting aromatics is vital to the fold and stability of SUMO. Moreover, the noncovalent binding of SUMO Interaction Motif (SIM) at the SUMO surface is critically dependent on the paired aromatic interactions buried at the core. NMR structural studies showed perturbation of the edge-to-face conformation disrupts several long-range tertiary contacts in SUMO, leading to a heterogeneous and dynamic protein with attenuated SUMOylation in both in-vitro and in cellular conditions. A subtle perturbation of the edge-to-face conformation by a Tyr to Phe mutation results in a significant drop in stability, SUMO/SIM affinity and the rate of SUMOylation.

Apart from the edge-to-face conformation between Tyr-Phe pair, we also found that a highly conserved Methionine-Phenylalanine motif is a unique signature of SUMO proteins but absent in other homologous Ubl proteins. The specific 'up' conformation between the Methionine-Phenylalanine pair of interacting residues is critical to SUMO's β-grasp fold. The various non-covalent interactions of SUMO with its ligands are dependent on the motif. All-atom MD simulations and NMR studies showed that perturbation of the motif disrupted native contacts, modulated non-covalent interactions, and attenuated SUMOylation activity. Our results highlight that absolute co-conservation of specific aromatic pairs inside a protein core is indispensable for its stability and function.

Additionally, the allosteric effects of SIM binding on the native state of SUMO were observed through solution NMR based experiments. In this context, to probe ligand-induced changes on local stability of a protein, we suggested the use of backbone 1HNH Temperature coefficients measurement. We found that 1HNH Temperature coefficients correlate well with the binding affinity of the protein/ligand complex.

Abstract:

Public spaces like libraries have a major role in society. These spaces have contributed to the development of a society. Through its interactions, the broader society also realizes the importance of these spaces. But these spaces are becoming vulnerable due to various reasons. 

The Jaffna Public Library in Sri Lanka, for instance, was deliberately burned down in 1981. This erasure of collective memory was and is still mourned. It becomes imperative to safeguard these spaces and its content for what it contains and what it means. What does happen to the knowledge captured in a collection like the Jaffna Public Library that is now lost forever? And what is the response of a wider Tamil diaspora to cultural losses like this?

Public libraries come in all shapes and sizes, and with their own unique histories. Roja Muthiah, whose collections led to the formation of the Roja Muthiah Research Library in Chennai, has to be remembered for his extraordinary efforts in the preservation of thousands of rare volumes, all starting with scouring for ideas for his sign-board painting business. What did he think when he started collecting fifty years ago? And now in the digital world, how do we think we could build an archive or a special collection in a public library? 

Through the histories of two public libraries and the environments they foster, I plan to talk about the challenges and taking forward the collection building exercise. This should reflect the history of preservation and future of libraries. The role of a public library needs to be perceived just not for its content but also for the spirit in which it exists.

Bio: Sundar Ganesan is currently the Director of the Roja Muthiah Research Library, and has been at the library since its inception in 1994. Trained as an archivist, he has worked on a number of preservation projects with grants from the National Endowment for Humanities, Wellcome Institute for the History of Understanding Medicine, Mellon Foundation, Ford Foundation and the Endangered Archives Programme. Sundar has also been a consultant to various centres, including UNESCO, Centre for Studies in Social Sciences Calcutta, Kolkata, Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya, Nepal, and the Satyajit Ray Foundation, Kolkata. He is the author of the book "The Tall Man: Biju Patnaik", and written several articles, including a notable piece on the place and history of the Jaffna Public Library.
