Evidence for a major role of antisense RNAs in cyanobacterial gene regulation

ABSTRACT: The model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was used for a systematic survey on the number and types of antisense (as)RNAs. A tiled microarray was constructed with probes for both strands of the genes or intergenic spacers with candidate transcripts predicted by an algorithm and an equally sized and distributed control set. The resulting 102,739 individual probes cover an accumulated length of 1,441,146 nt or about 40% of the total chromosome sequence of Synechocystis 6803. Hybridization of this array with total RNA isolated from cultures raised under different growth conditions identified a high number of transcripts from intergenic spacers and in antisense orientation to known genes (natural cis-asRNAs). Extrapolated to the whole genome, around 10% of all open reading frames in Synechocystis 6803 may have a corresponding asRNA, suggesting a much more important role of chromosomally encoded asRNAs in bacteria then anticipated so far. Keywords: stress response 4 RNA hybridizations, 2 DNA controls. The raw data from the DNA hybridizations are in the GSE14410_DNA_1.txt and GSE14410_DNA_2.txt files.

Differential expression of whole transcriptome in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:The model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was used for a systematic survey of differential expression with a focus on antisense (as)RNAs and non-coding (nc)RNAs. A microarray was constucted with on average 5 probes for each transcript known thus far, including ncRNAs and asRNAs. The resulting 20,431 individual probes are duplicated on the array (Agilent 4x44k custom array) representing a technical replicate. Hybridization of this array with total RNA isolated from cultures raised under different growth conditions identified transcripts from intergenic spacers and in antisense orientation to known genes (natural cis-asRNAs) with differential expression compared to control hybridizations. This shows the involvement of such transcripts in the regulation of adaptation to various stresses. 12 RNA hybridizations (1 control & 3 stress conditions, 3 times each)

6S RNA supports recovery from nitrogen depletion in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:The 6S RNA is a global transcriptional riboregulator, which is exceptionally widespread among most bacterial phyla. While its role is already well-characterized in heterotrophic bacteria, we subjected a cyanobacterial homolog to functional analysis, thereby extending the scope of 6S RNA action to the special challenges of photoautotrophic lifestyles. This study reveals 6S RNA as an integral part of the cellular response of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to changing nitrogen availability. Physiological characterization of a 6S RNA deletion strain (ÎssaA) demonstrates a delay in the recovery from nitrogen starvation. Significantly decelerated phycobilisome reassembly and glycogen degradation is accompanied with reduced photosynthetic activity compared to the wild type. Transcriptome profiling further revealed that predominantly genes encoding components of both photosystems, ATP synthase and the phycobilisomes were negatively affected in the ÎssaA mutant. In vivo pull-down studies of the RNA polymerase complex further indicate a promoting effect of 6S RNA on the recruitment of the cyanobacterial housekeeping sigma factor SigA, concurrently supporting dissociation of group II sigma factors during recovery from nitrogen starvation. According to these results, 6S RNA supports a rapid adaptation to changing nitrogen conditions by regulating the switch from group II sigma factors SigB / SigC to SigE / SigA dependent transcription. We performed microarray analysis of total RNA from wild-type and âssaA cultures that were starved for nitrogen for seven days and recovered over a period of 48 hours. Sampling time points were t1 = 1h +N, t2 = 4h +N and t3 = 22h +N after nitrogen recovery. Samples were taken in biological replicates.

The FtsH3 protease is an epistatic master regulator of the iron and phosphate stress responses in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:Regulation of gene expression is a sophisticated process leading to the activation or suppression of genes due to adaptation to environmental stimuli. The membrane-embedded FtsH proteases conserved in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria, are involved in such regulation. The genome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encodes four FtsH homologues FtsH1-4, functioning in the form of oligomeric complexes. Homologue FtsH3 is bound in two hetero-oligomeric complexes, FtsH1/FstH3 and/or FtsH2/FtsH3, respectively. Previous data showed that the FtsH1/FtsH3 complex is involved in the acclimation of cells to iron deficiency by controlling the availability of the transcriptional regulator Fur (Sll0567). To gain more comprehensive insight into the physiological role of FtsH hetero-complexes, we carried out genome-wide expression profiling of a mutant conditionally depleted in FtsH3, grown under nutrient sufficiency and iron depletion. Our results show, that besides Fur, also the SufR and Pho regulons belong to the set of genes controlled by FtsH. Moreover, by combining the transcriptome data with in silico prediction we identified novel targets of Fur in Synechocystis PCC 6803. Fur tends to evoke mostly repression, but also appears to activate some target genes. We monitored the global gene expression in a conditional Synechocystis PCC6083 ftsH knockdown strain (FtsHdown) (Boehm et al., 2012) and a control strain (WT) at standard conditions and at iron depletion. The presence of ammonia to induced the conditional knockdown. Each sample was done in biological replicates.

Deep proteogenomics of a unicellular cyanobacterium

Project description:Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophs that profoundly impact the biogeochemical cycles on Earth. Due to their photosynthetic lifestyle that includes the fixation of atmospheric CO2, they are of increasing interest for a sustainable economy. Knowledge of protein expression and regulation is key for understanding of the cyanobacterial metabolism; however, proteome studies in cyanobacteria are still limited and cover only a fraction of the theoretical proteome. Here, we performed a proteogenomic analysis of 628 LC-MS/MS measurements for the unicellular model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to characterize the expressed (phospho)proteome, re-annotate known and discover potential novel open reading frames (ORFs). By mapping extensive shotgun MS proteomics data generated by the SCyCode consortium onto a six-frame translation of the Synechocystis genome, we re-annotated 96 start sites and discovered 103 novel open reading frames (ORFs). Through re-analysis of previously published multi-omics datasets, we confirmed 48 re-annotated or novel ORFs with high confidence. Our study resulted in the largest reported proteome and phosphoproteome dataset for Synechocystis, covering expression of about 80% of the theoretical proteome and 642 O-phosphorylation events under various cultivation conditions, such as nitrogen or carbon limitation. This dataset will serve as a resource providing dedicated information on condition-dependent protein expression and phosphorylation.

Pull-down assay to identify proteins interacting with the small protein AtpΘ (Norf1) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:Small proteins in prokaryotes are usually defined as polypeptides that are shorter than 80 amino acids. In the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Synechocystis 6803), the existence of several small proteins was verified previously. Among them, Norf1 (renamed to AtpΘ afterwards) is a small protein that is highly accumulated in darkness or stationary phase. To clarify the functions of AtpΘ, co-immunoprecipitation was performed to identify its interaction partners using FLAG-tagged AtpΘ protein as bait and FLAG-tagged sfGFP as negative control in three biological replicates each.

SCP-mediated chlorophyll synthesis and Photosystem II assembly maintains nitrogen homeostasis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:Small CAB-like proteins (SCPs) are single-helix light-harvesting-like proteins found in all organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis. We investigated the function of these stress-induced proteins in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by comparing a strain, which expresses SCPs constitutively, with a mutant lacking all five SCPs. In the absence of SCPs, cells were larger, and showed irregular thylakoid structure and cell-surfaces. Deletion of scp genes strongly affected the carbon-nitrogen balance, causing accumulation of carbohydrates and a decrease in N-rich compounds (proteins and chlorophyll a). Data from transcriptomic and metabolomic experiments demonstrated that SCPs mediated stabilization of chlorophyll a under stress conditions is crucial to maintain the C/N balance. SCPs diminished the formation of reactive oxygen species, preventing cellular damage by adjusting the de-novo production of chlorophyll a to demand levels. Lack of SCP expression under stress conditions had a large impact on the metabolism of the entire cell. Synechocystis 6803 PSI-less (Shen et al 1993) and PSI-less/ScpABCDE- (Xu et al 2004) mutants were cultivated at 30°C at a light intensity of 4–5 μmol photons m–2 s–1 in BG-11 growth medium (Rippka et al 1979) supplemented with 10 mM glucose. Cells (40–50 ml) from both control and the mutant cultures were collected at mid-log phase by rapid filtration (Pall Supor 800 Filter, 0.8 mm) and total RNA extracted after Pinto et al. (Pinto et al 2009). Single-stranded cDNA preparation, labelling, and hybridization onto the microarray slides were performed after Eisenhut et al. (2007). The microarray slides were scanned with an Agilent Microarray Scanner (model G2505B) with default settings.

The gene sml0013 of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 encodes for a novel subunit of the NDH1 complex that is ubiquitous distributed among cyanobacteria.

Project description:The NDH1 complex fulfils numerous tasks in the cyanobacterial cell such as respiration, cyclic electron flow, and inorganic carbon concentration. Despite the immense progress in our understanding of structure/function relation of the cyanobacterial NDH1 complex, the subunits catalysing the NAD(P)H docking and oxidation are still missing. The gene sml0013 of Synechocystis 6803 encodes for a small protein of unknown function for that homologs exist in all completely known cyanobacterial genomes. The protein exhibits weak similarities to the NDF6 protein, which was reported from Arabidopsis chloroplasts as a NDH subunit (Ishikawa et al. 2008). A sml0013 inactivation mutant of Synechocystis 6803 was generated and characterized. It showed only weak differences regarding growth and pigmentation at various culture conditions; most remarkably it exhibited a glucose-sensitive phenotype in the light. The genome-wide expression pattern of the M-NM-^Tsml0013::Km mutant was almost identical to wild type when grown under high CO2 conditions as well as after shifts to low CO2 conditions. However, measurements of the photosystem I redox kinetic in cells of the M-NM-^Tsml0013::Km mutant revealed differences to wild type such as a decreased capability of cyclic electron flow as well as of utilization of electrons from catabolic processes. These results suggest that the Sml0013 protein (named NdhP) represent a novel subunit of the cyanobacterial NDH1 complex mediating its coupling to the respiratory or photosynthetic electron flow. Gene expression of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 WT and a M-NM-^Tsml0013::Km mutant was monitored at HC conditions (5% CO2) and at 24h after a shift to LC conditions (ambient air containing 0.035% CO2). Each condition was sampled in biological duplicates.

The RNA helicase CrhR as a regulatory factor

Project description:DEAD-box RNA-helicases catalyze the correct folding of structured RNAs and the formation of RNP complexes. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encodes a single DEAD-box RNA helicase, CrhR (Slr0083) whose inactivation has severe effects on cellular physiology and morphology, particularly under cold stress. In order to identify potential RNA targets of CrhR, custom microarrays containing sequences corresponding to non-coding small RNAs (UTRs, ncRNAs, asRNAs, iRNAs) and all mRNAs were constructed. The RNAs exhibiting CrhR-dependent alteration of expression constitute both mRNA and small RNA transcripts. CrhR therefore is not a global regulator of RNA metabolism but instead interacts with a specific subset of the total RNA repertoire in Synechocystis, a CrhR-specific RNA regulon that functions predominately at low temperature. RNA half-life analyses indicated that expression of regulon members is controlled by a mechanism that does not involve CrhR-dependent RNA turnover. Biochemically, CrhR is able to anneal but not unwind an asRNA-mRNA target in vitro, providing evidence that regulation occurs through an RNA duplex intermediate. The data reveal a novel mechanism regulating the differential expression of operon members, crhR mutation disrupts a negative regulatory feedback loop involving CrhR regulation at an early stage of transcription in affected operons. We propose that CrhR is functioning as a RNA chaperone, similar to Hfq in enterobacteria, but regulating both post-transcriptional events and transcription termination, by altering sRNA metabolism. We monitored gene expression of an Synechocystis PCC6083 WT and a partial crhR knockout at 30M-BM-0C and after 3h of culturing at 20M-BM-0C. Each sample was done in biological triplicates.
