Groundbreaking Study Reveals Evolutionary Origins of Sleep in Single-Celled Algae

Groundbreaking Study Reveals Evolutionary Origins of Sleep in Single-Celled Algae

Cross-Kingdom Conservation of Sleep-Related Genes in Chlamydomonas Sheds Light on Fundamental Biological Process

Mysuru, Karnataka, 3 April 2025 — A groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry has uncovered compelling evidence that sleep, a behavior once thought to be exclusive to complex organisms, may have its roots in the simplest forms of life. The research, led by an international team of scientists, identifies 112 putative sleep-related genes in the single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, suggesting that the molecular mechanisms regulating sleep have been conserved across kingdoms for over 500 million years.

Key Findings:

  • Evolutionary Conservation: The study reveals that sleep-related genes in humans share significant similarities with those in Chlamydomonas, highlighting an evolutionary continuum from unicellular organisms to mammals.
  • Novel Discoveries: Among the identified genes are previously uncharacterized proteins, such as CHLRE_16g686650v5, which exhibit high sequence similarity to human sleep genes, opening new avenues for understanding sleep regulation.
  • Functional Insights: Well-known proteins like casein kinase I (CKI) and voltage-dependent calcium channels, critical for circadian rhythms and signaling in humans, were also found in Chlamydomonas, reinforcing their pleiotropic functions.

Implications for Science and Medicine:

This research challenges traditional views of sleep as a purely neural phenomenon, proposing instead that its origins lie in fundamental cellular processes. “Our findings suggest that sleep’s essential functions—energy conservation, cellular repair, and adaptation—may have evolved early in life’s history,” said Pandi-Perumal, one of the study’s lead authors. “Our current findings related to putative sleep genes in Chlamydomonas, a flagellated autotrophic plankton, could revolutionize how we view the evolution of human sleep genes, which eventually helps to study sleep disorders and develop potential therapies by targeting conserved pathways.”

Why It Matters:

  • Model Organism: Chlamydomonas, a simple alga with a well-mapped genome, offers a powerful tool for dissecting sleep mechanisms without the complexity of animal models.
  • Future Research: The study paves the way for exploring how these putative sleep genes in single-celled organisms contribute to survival, with potential applications in neurology, chronobiology, and even synthetic biology.

Expert Commentary:

“If sleep orthologs exist in algae, it forces us to rethink its purpose,” noted Dr. Chidambaram, co-corresponding author and a professor at the Department of Pharmacology, JSS College of Pharmacy, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysuru, Karnataka, India. “This work bridges the gap between microbiology and neuroscience, offering a unified framework to decode sleep’s mysteries through phylogenomics.”

According to Dr. Saravanan, one of the co-authors and Bioinformatics expert, “This study presents an interesting computational framework that enhances cross-genomics comparison by integrating multiple phylogenomic analysis of sleep genes such as Gene ontology, Interpro sites analysis, Repeats analysis and Pathway analysis, offering significant improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and analytical depth.”

According to Prof. Abraham, a Former Professor & Head of the Post-Graduate Department of Botany, at The American College, Madurai, who is one of the co-authors of the study said, “This is an exemplary work, even though we say it ourselves. This phylogenomics study unveils unprecedented insights into evolutionary and functional parallels between putative sleep genes of Chlamydomonas and human sleep genes.”

Overall, the results of this study present an interesting and in-depth analysis of Cross-Kingdom Genomic Conservation of Putative Human Sleep-Related Genes in Chlamydomonas, uncovering previously unreported evolutionary and functional parallels, particularly in protein kinase domains involved in the information storage and processing, providing new insights into conserved genetic elements and their implications in cellular processes.

The full study, “Cross-Kingdom Genomic Conservation of Putative Human Sleep-Related Genes: Phylogenomic Evidence From Chlamydomonas reinhardtii,” is available in the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry (2025; DOI: [https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.70030]).

Animal Rights Groups Slam Sodexo for Neglecting Cage-Free Egg Promise in India

Animal Rights Groups Slam Sodexo for Neglecting Cage-Free Egg Promise in India

New Delhi, March 29, 2025- Bharat Initiative for Accountability (BIA), a coalition of Indian animal welfare organisations, staged a protest today at Jantar Mantar, demanding that multinational food-services giant Sodexo fulfil its global cage-free egg commitment in India. Despite pledging to source 100% cage-free eggs worldwide by 2025, Sodexo has made virtually no progress in India, with less than 1% of its eggs cage-free—while successfully transitioning in Europe and North America.

“Sodexo claims to be a sustainability leader, yet it continues sourcing eggs from cruel battery cages in India while shifting to cage-free eggs in Europe and North America,” said Aarti Bhavana, Director of Corporate Engagement, BIA. “This blatant double standard is unacceptable. India is not a dumping ground for unethical products. Sodexo has viable solutions at its disposal— it’s time to act before the December deadline.”

With just nine months until the self-imposed deadline, BIA is ramping up pressure to ensure multinational corporations honour their pledges in India with the same urgency as in the West.

About: Bharat Initiative for Accountability (BIA) is a coalition of 15 Indian animal welfare organisations committed to improving the lives of farmed animals, by holding companies responsible for the welfare of the animals in their supply chains. BIA works to ensure that multinational corporations fulfill their public commitments to animal welfare in India. To learn more, visit accountabilitymatters.in
