    Extrusion without a motor:a new take on the loop extrusion model of genome organization

    No full text
    Chromatin loop extrusion is a popular model for the formation of CTCF loops and topological domains. Recent HiC data have revealed a strong bias in favour of a particular arrangement of the CTCF binding motifs that stabilize loops, and extrusion is the only model to date which can explain this. However, the model requires a motor to generate the loops, and although cohesin is a strong candidate for the extruding factor, a suitable motor protein (or a motor activity in cohesin itself) has yet to be found. Here we explore a new hypothesis: that there is no motor, and thermal motion within the nucleus drives extrusion. Using theoretical modelling and computer simulations we ask whether such diffusive extrusion could feasibly generate loops. Our simulations uncover an interesting ratchet effect (where an osmotic pressure promotes loop growth), and suggest, by comparison to recent in vitro and in vivo measurements, that diffusive extrusion can in principle generate loops of the size observed in the data.

Note: All measurements are in millimeters and were taken from 8 adult specimens, which correspond with the type series. The holotype is listed first followed by the average of specimens and the range in parenthesis (holotype; average (smallest-largest)). Female, Larva and Host: Unknown. Male: Habitus shown in Fig. 1, Lateral view in Fig. 2. Total Length: 1.84; 1.79 (1.62–1.96) Color: General color is golden-brown. Head mostly dark brown with very dark area around and between eyes; antenna lighter brown; sutures of thorax darker than sclerites; legs golden-brown with darker stripe on dorsum; tarsi cream-colored. Head: Head as in Fig. 1; Slightly bulbous, about as wide as the thorax; facets of eye relatively large compared to other members of this genus, with about 12 visible dorsally; 23–24 facets total per eye; medial-posterior of head invaginated so that pro-thorax fits within; head width (with eyes), 0.52; 0.52 (0.44–0.60).

Tarsi are all three segmented; first tarsus thick and somewhat wedge shaped, second and third tarsi are narrow and elongated. Abdomen: Abdomen as in Fig. 1. Aedeagus: Aedeagus as in Fig. 7. Base much wider than apex, slightly curved and tapering, length 0.12; 0.11 (0.11–0.12); lateral spur long and curved, length 0.08; 0.08 (0.08–0.09). Diagnosis. Halictophagus trigonodontos n. sp. is characterized by a heavily sclerotized, triangular mandible (Fig. 3), which sets it apart from other members of the genus. This species also has a uniquely shaped scutellum (Fig. 1) and a terminal extension of the aedeagus that is unusually long (Fig. 7). Both of these latter characters are somewhat like those found in Halictophagus piperi Bohart 1943 from the Philippines, but there are still distinct differences between these species in other characters as discussed below. Halictophagus trigonodontos n. sp. differs from H. piperi in several important characters. Most easily noticed is a large size difference between these two species, with H. piperi being about 4 mm long while H. trigonodontos n. sp. is less than half that size. Bohart (1943) noted that H. piperi differed from all other Halictophagus due to its distinctive aedeagus, however since that time Oliveira and Kogan (1959) described Halictophagus lopesi from Brazil that has a similarly shaped aedeagus. Halictophagus trigonodontos n. sp. has a similar, although even more elongated, spine at the end of the aedeagus compared to H. piperi. Also, these species share an unusually shaped scutellum that is not triangular as is found in most Halictophagus species. The scutellum is somewhat rectangular with lateral, posterior extensions and a distinct anterior bulge in H. piperi. The rectangular characteristic is exaggerated in H. trigonodontos, and H. trigonodontos n. sp. has only a small anterior protuberance of the scutellum (Fig. 1). There are two Halictophagus species from Central America, Halictophagus obtusae Bohart, 1943 from Costa Rica and Halictophagus variatus Kinzelbach, 1971 from Guatemala, but it appears to more closely resemble North and South American species that those of Central America. In New World specimens, H. trigonodontos n. sp. most closely resembles H. lopesi. Halictophagus lopesi does have a relatively rectangular scutellum and elongated aedeagus but both are substantially different than H. trigonodontos n. sp. The aedeagus of H. lopesi is generally sshaped while the basal portion is relatively straight in H. trigonodontos n. sp. The scutellum is generally square with posterior, lateral extensions in H. lopesi and more rectangular with small posterior extensions in H. trigonodontos n. sp. The mandibles and palps of H. lopesi are both relatively small compared to H. trigonodontos n. sp. Among other North American species, H. trigonodontos n. sp. has thoracic sclerites that most closely resemble H. bidentatus, although the scutellum is slightly triangular in H. bidentatus and rectangular in H. trigonodontos n. sp. Halictophagus trigonodontos n. sp. lacks sensoria on the first two antennal segments and legs as is found in H. bidentatus and many other characters such as shapes of the mandibles and aedeagus are different as illustrated in the plates for these species. Another North American species with a somewhat similar, although different, scutellum is Halictophagus naulti Kathirithamby and Moy-Raygoza 2000. Halictophagus trigonodontos n. sp. does not have the triangular extension of abdominal segment VIII that is unique to H. naulti. Etymology. The specific epithet combines two Greek roots, trigono- meaning triangular and –odontos meaning tooth. Thus, the name refers to its heavily sclerotized, triangular mandible that is unusual for the genus Halictophagus.Published as part of Cook, Jerry L., 2013, Two new species of Halictophagus (Strepsiptera, Halictophagidae) from the Dominican Republic, pp. 569-578 in Zootaxa 3620 (4) on pages 570-574, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3620.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/22292
