• W2952802252 abstract "In the evolutionarily-derived termite subfamily Nasutitermitinae (family Termitidae), soldiers defend their nestmates by discharging polycyclic diterpenes from a head projection called the nasus. The diterpenes are synthesised in the frontal gland from the precursor geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), which is generally used for post-translational modification of proteins in animals. In this study, we constructed a comprehensive gene catalogue to search for genes involved in the diterpene biosynthesis by assembling RNA sequencing reads of Nasutitermes takasagoensis, identifying eight gene copies for GGPP synthase (GGPPS). The number of gene copies is much larger in contrast to other related insects. Gene cloning by reverse transcription-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends confirmed that seven GGPPS genes (NtGGPPS1 to NtGGPPS7) have highly variable untranslated regions. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the NtGGPPS7 gene was grouped with homologs obtained from ancestral termites that have only a single copy of the gene, and the NtGGPPS6 gene was grouped with homologs obtained from a basal lineage of termitids, in which soldiers do not synthesise diterpenes. As the sister group to this clade, furthermore, a monophyletic clade included all the other NtGGPPS genes (NtGGPPS1 to NtGGPPS5). Expression analyses revealed that NtGGPPS7 gene was expressed in all the examined castes and tissues, whereas all the other genes were expressed only in the soldier head. These results suggest that gene duplication followed by subfunctionalisation of the GGPPS genes might have accompanied the evolution of chemical defence in the nasute termite lineage." @default.
