    Abstract Species in the genus Macaca typically live in multimale-multifemale social groups with male macaques exhibiting some of the largest testis: body weight ratios among primates. Males are believed to experience intense levels of sperm competition. Several spermatogenesis genes are located on the Y-chromosome and, interestingly, occasional hybridization between two species has led to the introgression of the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) Y-chromosome deep into the range of the long-tailed macaque (M. fascicularis). These observations have led to the prediction that the successful introgression of the rhesus Y-haplotype is due to functional differences in spermatogenesis genes compared to those of the native long-tailed Y-haplotype. We examine here four Y-chromosomal loci-RBMY, XKRY, and two nearly identical copies of CDY-and their corresponding protein sequences. The genes were surveyed in representative animals from north of, south of, and within the rhesus x long-tailed introgression zone. Our results show a series of non-synonymous amino acid substitutions present between the two Y-haplotypes. Protein structure modeling via I-TASSER revealed different folding patterns between the two species' Y-proteins, and functional predictions via TreeSAAP further reveal physicochemical differences as a result of non-synonymous substitutions. These differences inform our understanding of the evolution of primate Y-proteins involved in spermatogenesis and, in turn, have biomedical implications for human male fertility.

    Abstract Non-human primates are our closest relatives and therefore offer valuable comparative models for human evolutionary studies and biomedical research. As such, Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) have contributed to the advancement of primatology in both field and laboratory settings. Specifically, Japanese macaques serve as an excellent model for investigating postnatal development and seasonal breeding in primates because of their relatively prolonged juvenile period and distinct seasonal breeding activity in adulthood. Pioneering histological studies have examined the developmental associations between their reproductive states and spermatogenesis by morphological observation. However, a molecular histological atlas of Japanese macaque spermatogenesis is only in its infancy, limiting our understanding of spermatogenesis ontogeny related to their reproductive changes. Here, we performed immunofluorescence analyses of spermatogenesis in Japanese macaque testes to determine the expression of a subset of marker proteins. The present molecular histological analyses readily specified major spermatogonial subtypes as SALL4

    Abstract Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) are enzymes that degrade several monoamines of the central nervous system and have long been implicated in the modulation of social behavior. Macaque monkeys are a suitable model for investigating the role of functional monoamine oxidase polymorphisms in behavior modulation given the high amount of social diversity among the nearly two dozen species. The present study reports allele frequencies for two polymorphisms, MAOA-LPR and MBin2, in samples of rhesus (Macaca mulatta) and Japanese (M. fuscata) macaques. Our results suggest that the two species may differ in high- and low-activity MAOA-LPR allele frequencies. Specifically, 89% of the Japanese macaque alleles in our sample were the low-activity variant, whereas only 41% of the rhesus macaque alleles were of this sort. In our samples, the two species possessed similar allelic variation at the MBin2 locus, with each possessing some species-specific alleles. We also tested for associations between MAOA-LPR genotype and plasma serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) concentrations in a subset of rhesus macaques, which revealed no association with genotype. Our findings point toward potential differences in the monoaminergic system of two closely related macaque species. Discussion of our results are centered on implications for future investigations that aim to better understand the functionality of monoamine oxidase polymorphisms in the context of primate social behavior.

    Abstract We tested three types of medical-grade buccal swabs against standard cotton swabs for differences in DNA yield. A panel of swab types – one drugstore (Q-tips®) and three medical-grade – was used for buccal cell collection from three different individuals. DNA was extracted from all swabs using a QIAcube robot; quantitation values were measured by an Alu-based qPCR assay; and differences were compared through a 2-way ANOVA. Our results demonstrate that cotton swabs recover as much DNA as medical-grade swabs, but at a tremendously lower cost. Cotton swabs also display the greatest consistency of DNA yield, as indicated by the lowest coefficient of variation among the four tested swab types. These findings suggest that the use of standard cotton swabs for buccal cell collection offers not only a significant cost savings, but a more consistent method compared to the use of medical-grade swabs.

    Abstract Non-human primates are our closest relatives and therefore offer valuable comparative models for human evolutionary studies and biomedical research. As such, Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) have contributed to the advancement of primatology in both field and laboratory settings. Specifically, Japanese macaques serve as an excellent model for investigating postnatal development and seasonal breeding in primates because of their relatively prolonged juvenile period and distinct seasonal breeding activity in adulthood. Pioneering histological studies have examined the developmental associations between their reproductive states and spermatogenesis by morphological observation. However, a molecular histological atlas of Japanese macaque spermatogenesis is only in its infancy, limiting our understanding of spermatogenesis ontogeny related to their reproductive changes. Here, we performed immunofluorescence analyses of spermatogenesis in Japanese macaque testes to determine the expression of a subset of marker proteins. The present molecular histological analyses readily specified major spermatogonial subtypes as SALL4+ A spermatogonia and Ki67+/C-KIT+ B spermatogonia. The expression of DAZL, SCP1, γH2AX, VASA, and calmegin further showed sequential changes regarding the protein expression profile and chromosomal structures during spermatogenesis in a differentiation stage-specific manner. Accordingly, comparative analyses between subadults and adults identified spermatogenic deficits in differentiation and synchronization in subadult testes. Our findings provide a new diagnostic platform for dissecting spermatogenic status and reproduction in the Japanese macaques.
