A Conserved Endocrine Mechanism Controls the Formation of Dauer and Infective Larvae in Nematodes  Akira Ogawa, Adrian Streit, Adam Antebi, Ralf J.

Figure 1 Life Cycles of Free-Living and Parasitic Nematodes (A) Life cycles of the free-living nematodes C. elegans and P. pacificus. Under favorable conditions, animals go through direct development (L1-L4). In the laboratory, one cycle takes as little as three to four days (20°C). Under unfavorable conditions, such as high temperature, high population density, or starvation, animals can go into the arrested dauer stage. Note that the importance of the dauer larvae for host association is best known for P. pacificus and its beetle association. (B) A simplified scheme for the life cycle of the vertebrate parasite Strongyloides papillosus. Note that not only the third larval stage but also the fourth larval stage and the adult stage are specialized for each life style. For a more precise representation of S. papillosus life cycle, see Figure S2. (C) Phylogenetic relationship of the three species used in this study (P. pacificus, C. elegans, and S. papillosus), with three other taxa C. briggsae, the hookworm A. caninum, and B. malayi. Parasitic species are indicated in bold. (D) Overall morphology of a S. papillosus infective larva. (E–G) Phenotype of Δ7-DA-treated progeny S. papillosus that show morphological characteristics of free-living adults. (E) shows the overall morphology of free-living adults. (F) shows a rhabdiform esophagus with a grinder in the pharynx, which is only known from free-living adults but not parasitic females. (G) shows a vulva opening in the midbody region, a feature that is also only known from free-living females.

Figure 2 Dauer Formation Assays in P. pacificus Wild-Type and Mutant Animals (A) Dauer formation of P. pacificus PS312 (Ppa) and C. elegans N2 (Cel) on agar plates containing either P. pacificus or C. elegans pheromone. (B) Cholesterol restriction enhances dauer formation in P. pacificus PS312. Dauer formation was tested on pheromone plates (as in [B]) in the presence (5 μg/ml) or absence of added cholesterol. (C) Daf-d phenotypes of the three Ppa-daf-12 alleles, tu381, tu389, and tu390. Dauer formation of wild-type (PS312) and mutant animals was tested on agar plates containing the same amount of pheromone extract. Error bars denote 95% confidence intervals. Note that the experiments described in (A)–(C) were performed with different batches and different amounts of pheromone. See Table S1 for number of animals tested.

Figure 3 Assays for Dauer Formation and Infective Juvenile Formation (A) Effect of DAs on dauer formation on four P. pacificus Daf-c strains. Mutant animals were grown in the presence of ethanol (E, control), Δ4-DA (Δ4, 250 nM), or Δ7-DA (Δ7, 250 nM). For two fully penetrant mutants Ppa-dfc-3(tu393) and Ppa-dfc-4(tu394), mixed populations of homozygous, heterozygous, and wild-type eggs, which are F1 and F2 progeny of single heterozygous hermaphrodites, were tested. Therefore, less than 25% of animals are expected to be mutant. Ppa-dfc-1(tu391) and Ppa-dfc-2(tu392) were tested as homozygous animals. (B) Infective third-stage larvae (iL3) formation of the progeny of S. papillosus parasitic females in the presence of ethanol (E, control), Δ4-DA (Δ4, 250 nM), or Δ7-DA (Δ7, 250 nM). (C) iL3 formation of the progeny of S. papillosus free-living adults in the presence of ethanol (E, control), Δ4-DA (Δ4, 250 nM), or Δ7-DA (Δ7, 250 nM). Note that all the non-iL3s in the plates with ethanol and Δ4-DA were small larvae that were presumably younger than the third-stage-arrested larvae. The majority of non-iL3s in the plate with Δ7-DA were females as shown in Figure 1E. Error bars denote 95% confidence intervals. See Table S1 for the number of animals tested. (D) RT-PCR amplification of a partial cDNA of Spa-daf-12. RNA was prepared from young progeny of parasitic and free-living adults. Reverse transcriptase (RTase) was omitted in the negative control. The identity of the amplified fragments was verified by DNA sequencing (data not shown).
