For enzyme extracts and assays, fresh roots (0.1 g) were ground in liquid nitrogen, and then suspended in 0.9 mL solution containing 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The homogenate was centrifuged at 4°C, 2500 rpm for 10 min and the resulting supernatant was collected for determination of the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.7) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px, EC 1.11.1.9) using commercial assay kits purchased from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute (Nanjing, China). All enzymes above were detected using a microplate reader (SpectraMax M5, USA), and 5 to 10 seedlings were used to provide enough amounts of root tissues in each experimental replicate (n = 3).
The activity of SOD was determined by measuring the inhibiting rate of the enzyme to O2· produced by the xanthine morpholine with xanthine oxidase using the SOD assay kit. Each endpoint assay was detected the red substances of the reaction system by absorbance at 550 nm after 40 min of reaction time at 37°C. And one unit SOD activity (U) was defined as the quantity of SOD required to produce 50% inhibition of reduction of nitrite in 1 mL reaction solution by measuring the change of absorbance at 550 nm.
The CAT activity was measured based on the hydrolysis reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with CAT, which could be terminated by molybdenum acid (MA) to produce yellow MA-H2O2 complex. CAT activity was calculated by the decrease in absorbance at 405 nm due to the degradation of H2O2, and one unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will cause the decompose of 1 µmol hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) per second at 37°C in 1.0 g fresh tissue according to CAT assay kit.
The POD activity was measured based on the change of absorbance at 420 nm by catalyzing H2O2. One unit was defined as the amount of enzyme which was catalyzed and generated 1 µg substrate by 1.0 g fresh tissues in the reaction system at 37°C. POD activity was calculated as the formula according to POD assay kit.
The GSH-Px activity was also measured using the assay kit based on the principle that oxidation of glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could be catalyzed by GSH-Px to produce oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and H2O. In addition GSH reacts with 5, 5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) to produce stable yellow substances and the decrease of GSH at 412 nm during the reaction is indicative of GSH-Px activity in tissues. One GSH-Px unit of GSH-Px activity (U) was calculated as the amounts of enzyme that will oxidize 1 µmol/L GSH in reaction system at 37°C per minute in 1.0 g fresh tissue according to the assay kit. All of the enzymes were expressed as in U/g FW.

The first method is a widely accepted and sensitive enzyme recycling assay based on a procedure reported by Tietze (1 (link)) and modified by Adams et al (2 (link)) that requires no specialized equipment. GSH is oxidized by 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) resulting in the formation of GSSG and 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB). GSSG is then reduced to GSH by glutathione reductase (GR) using reducing equivalent provided by NADPH. The rate of TNB formation is proportional to the sum of GSH and GSSG present in the sample and is determined by measuring the formation of TNB at 412 nm. Specific changes have been described to increase assay sensitivity enabling measurements in plasma from populations with inherently low GSH or GSSG levels (3 (link), 4 (link)).
The second method uses HPLC separation and fluorometric detection. The original method, developed by Reed et al (5 (link)), used iodoacetic acid (IAA) to form S-carboxymethyl derivatives with free thiols and fluorodinitrobenzene which reacts with amines to facilitate UV absorbance detection at 365 nm. Martin and White (6 (link)) later altered this method using dansyl chloride as the derivatizing agent with fluorescence detection thereby increasing the sensitivity of the assay substantially. Finally, Jones et al (7 (link)) further refined the method to minimize artifactual oxidation and increase sensitivity. A technique using iodoactetic acid as the thiol akylating agent followed by dansyl chloride derivatization for fluorometric detection is presented. This method is advantageous because it is amenable to small sample quantities and detects thiols and disulfides of several small molecules, GSH, GSSG cystiene, cystine, and mixed disulfides in a single run using ion-paring chromatography. The alkylation and derivatization processes are rather time-consuming and iodoacetic acid (IAA) reacts rather slowly with free thiols (8 (link), 9 (link)). While relative comparisons can be made using this method, caution should be taken in making conclusions about absolute concentrations; specifically of the disulfide species.

Single-copy gene families were used to construct a phylogenetic tree for B. acutorostrata and the other sequenced mammalian genomes. Fourfold degenerate sites were extracted from each family and concatenated to form one supergene for each species. The HKY85+gamma substitution model was selected, and PhyML v3.0 (ref. 67 (link)) was used to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree. Molecular sequence data of fourfold degenerate sites were used to estimate species divergence time using the program MCMCtree v3.0 with the approximate likelihood calculation algorithm as implemented in the PAML package68 (link) (version 4.5) (Supplementary Note).
Single amino acid polymorphisms in the minke whale and bottlenose dolphin genes were compared with those in the cow and pig genes by multiple sequence alignments using ClustalW2 (ref. 69 (link)). Protein sequences of the fin whale and finless porpoise were predicted by aligning and substituting the raw reads to the minke whale scaffolds and bottlenose dolphin scaffolds, respectively. Artifacts were removed from the alignments manually, and the filtering option required ≥1/2 coverage and ≥1/2 well-matched amino acids (the consensus string was ‘*’, ‘:’ or ‘.’). To exclude individual variation, only amino acid changes shared by all the whales tested (four minke whales and two bottlenose dolphins) were used. Significant changes in protein function (‘probably or possibly damaging’) were predicted using PolyPhen-2 (ref. 70 (link)).
PSGs identified on the basis of dN/ds ratios were predicted using branch-site likelihood ratio tests for single-copy gene families with a conservative 10% false discovery rate (FDR) criterion10 (link). The minke whale was used as the foreground branch, and the cow and pig were used as the background branches for the PSGs of the minke whale. The bottlenose dolphin was used as the foreground branch for the PSGs of the bottlenose dolphin. The coding sequences of the single-copy orthologous genes were aligned using PRANK71 (link), and alignments shorter than 150 bp without gaps were discarded. The codeml program in the PAML package was used to calculate the log likelihoods for the alternative model and the null model. The FDR was determined on the basis of the q values calculated using the q-value library in R72 (link). All the PSGs were mapped to KEGG pathways and assigned GO terms on the basis of their P values, which were calculated by Fisher’s exact test with a 10% FDR. The over-representation of glutathione and glutathione disulfide were validated experimentally using kidney Sp1K cells from Atlantic spotted dolphin (S. frontalis). Additional information regarding the methods used to identify rapidly evolving GO categories and copy number variations is provided in the Supplementary Note.

Frozen tissue was weighed on ice and rapidly homogenized in ice cold 3% sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) containing 0.1mM EDTA with a PowerGen Model 125 blade-type homogenizer to yield a 10% (w/v) homogenate. 200 μL of this homogenate was immediately transferred to 1 mL of a 10 mM NEM solution prepared in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer on ice. Another aliquot of the homogenate was diluted 1:50 in 0.01 N HCl in H2O for use in determination of total glutathione. Tubes were then centrifuged at 4°C, 14,000 × g, for 4 minutes and the deproteinized supernatants were transferred to fresh tubes. All samples were kept on ice. Removal of excess NEM was accomplished by chromatographic separation using a small C18 column (Sep-Pak; Waters Associates, Millipore Corporation, Milford, PA). 700 μL of sample was passed through the column (~1 drop/sec) by injection and into a fresh tube, followed by 1 mL of 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer. Regeneration of the column for use with subsequent samples was accomplished with a 6 mL methanol rinse using a fresh syringe. To prevent interference due to methanol in the enzymatic assay, the column was air dried using the same syringe, rinsed with H2O, and air dried again, before applying the next sample. In all, the process required < 5 minutes per sample. Between experiments, the C18 cartridges were stored in methanol. Determination of GSSG using 2VP as the GSH masking agent was done as described (Griffith, 1980 (link)), in parallel with the above experiments. Briefly, 200 μL of the deproteinized supernatant was mixed with 4 μL 2VP and 12 μL triethanolamine (to pH 7.0–7.5) and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Following the 1 h incubation, 2VP treated samples were diluted 1:30 in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer. GSH sample supernatants in HCl were further diluted 1:26 in 100 mM potassium phosphate before measurement. NEM treated samples were used without further dilution.

For in-vitro assays, human PDI (PDIA1 18–508; a gift of C. Thorpe, University of Delaware, Newark, DE) and roGFP variants were expressed in the E. coli BL21 (D3) strain, purified with Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, dialyzed into the reaction buffer, reduced by incubation with 20 mM of DTT, and then buffer exchanged on a PD-10 gel filtration column (GE Healthcare; Blais et al., 2010 (link)). Fluorescent lifetime imaging of purified roGFP variants was conducted on samples of fluorescent protein immobilized on protein A–Sepharose beads with rabbit polyclonal anti-GFP serum. Redox titrations and redox potential calculations were performed by first exposing bacterially expressed roGFPiE to a reducing concentration of DTT (20 mM), removing the DTT by gel filtration, and then equilibrating the reduced protein with different redox buffers containing defined concentrations of oxidized and reduced glutathione, as described previously (Lohman and Remington, 2008 (link)).
For kinetic assays, reduced PDI (5–150 µM) was equilibrated in 100 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, and 150 mM NaCl buffer containing an excess of a combination of reduced and oxidized glutathione (4 mM; Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h at room temperature, then added simultaneously to all the samples in the experiment. The ratio of fluorescence emission at 520 nm after sequential excitation at 395 and 470 nm was measured using EnSpire Multimode Plate Readers (PerkinElmer).
