Project description: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.

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.

Project description:Comparison of gene expression of WT Synechocystis cells with cells overexpressing the sRNA PsrR1 in order to detect direct targets of the sRNA PsrR1. We monitored gene expression of an Synechocystis PCC6083 overexpressor strain (psrR1+) (Mitschke et al., 2011) harboring a self-replicating plasmid from which PsrR1 is transcribed under control of the copper responsive PpetJ promoter and a control strain (WT) harboring an empty plasmid 0h and 24 h after copper depletion. For the timepoint (0h) we sampled biological replicates and for timepoint (24h) we sampled biological triplicates.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a potent signaling molecule influencing various aspects of plant growth and development. Its limited lifetime and specific production sites in the plant cell necessitate the existence of specialized mechanisms that relay H2O2-encoded information. To discover such mechanisms, we focused on peroxisomal H2O2 production triggered by enhanced photorespiration in Arabidopsis mutants lacking catalase activity (cat2-2), and looked for second-site mutations that attenuate the negative effects (Fv'/Fm' decline and lesion formation) of H2O2 build up. A mutation residing in the GRAS family transcriptional regulator SHORT-ROOT (SHR) was found to underlie the increased performance of cat2-2 knock-outs under photorespiratory stress. In contrast to shr, introduction of the scr mutation in cat2-2 background did not improve the photorespiratory performance of plants lacking peroxisomal catalase. The absence of SHR negatively affected the activity of the photorespiratory enzymes glycolate oxidase and catalase, which was accompanied with elevated glycolate content and inability to accumulate glycine under conditions promoting photorespiration. The transcriptome signature of cat2-2 shr-6 double mutants exposed to photorespiratory stress lacked jasmonate-dependent signaling components, otherwise induced in cat2-2. The photorespiratory phenotype of cat2-2 was found to be modulated by exogenous sugars both in the presence and absence of shr. Taken together, these findings highlight a crucial role for SHR in H2O2 signal transduction and stress tolerance. Three-week-old cat2-2 and shr-6/cat2-2 plants were exposed to photorespiratory conditions. Rosettes were sampled in three biological replicates before (T = 0) and after 24 hours (T = 24H) of the treatment. Total RNA was extracted with Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit (Sigma) and submitted to Arabidopsis ATH1 microarray hybridization.

Project description:Every cyanobacterial species contains gene encoding site-2-protease (S2P) homolog. The studied prokaryotic S2P homologs play essential roles in regulating stress response through intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-bound anti-sigma factors. Here, gene of Slr0643, one of four S2P homologs in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, was insertionally disrupted to explore its physiological role. Only a partially segregated mutant was obtained, indicating its indispensability for growth. The partially disrupted mutant could not grow at pH 6.5, while wild type acclimated to pH 6.5 quickly. The slr0643 gene expression was transiently induced after pH transfer from 7.5 to 6.5. Both evidences demonstrated the pivotal role of fully functional Slr0643 in acid acclimation. DNA microarray and quantitative RT-PCR analyses decoded genes involved in early acid acclimation and revealed differentially expressed genes due to slr0643 disruption at both pH conditions. Early acid acclimation to pH 6.5 included upregulation of sigH, hik16 and hik35, and downregulation of pcrR and sigG; as well as downregulation of porins and upregulation of inorganic carbon and nitrogen transporters. Defective photosynthesis and excess expression of NADH dehydrogenase, together with over upregulation of carbon transporter and repression of nitrogen transporter and metabolism gene contributed to the acid lethality of mutant at pH 6.5. Most interestingly, analysis of microarray data revealed the close relationship between slr0643 disruption and expression of sigH operon. Therefore it was implied that Slr0643/Sll0857/SigH might acts through S2P/anti-Sigma factor/Sigma factor mechanism to play a role in acid acclimation. M-bM-^@M-^C Loop design was used to compare differential expression of wild type and mutant at pH 7.5 and pH 6.5 respectively, including dye-swape. Biological variation was sampled by extracting RNA from three independent experiments and pooling them together before hybridizations. Two or four replicate chips for each comparison and two replicate printings per chip represent technical repeats.

Project description:Unicellular cyanobacteria that do not fix nitrogen can survive prolonged periods of nitrogen starvation as bleached cells in a non-growing, dormant state. Upon re-addition of a usable nitrogen source, bleached cultures re-green within 48 hours and the cells return to vegetative growth. Here we investigated the process of resuscitation at the physiological and molecular level. Almost immediately upon nitrate addition, the cells initiate an amazingly organized resuscitation program: they first turn on respiration, gaining energy and activating the genes of the entire translational apparatus, genes for ATP synthesis and nitrate assimilation. Only after about 12 hours, the cells rebuild the photosynthetic apparatus and switch on photosynthesis. Analysis of the transcriptome in recovering cells shows a perfect match to the physiological processes and reveals a paramount dynamics of non-coding RNAs in awaking cells. This genetically encoded program ensures rapid colonization of habitats, in which nitrogen starvation imposes a recurring growth limitation. Synechocstis PCC 6803 WT cells were subjected to nitrogen limitation for 14d, then nitrogen was re-added to monitor recovery of the cells. Samples were taken before nitrogen depletion, after 14d of nitrogen depletion and 4h, 13h, 24h and 48h after nitrogen re-addition. Samples were taken in biological replicates for all timepoints besides 48h nitrogen recovery.

Project description:We investigated Synechocystis high-density microarray data of three high-resolution time-series experiments with alternating light/dark rhythm, transition to continuous light, and transition to continuous darkness. Using M-bM-^@M-^Xleast oscillating setM-bM-^@M-^Y normalization and a clustering approach we found a daily temporal program for rhythmic expression of protein-coding and non-coding genes under light/dark conditions. All rhythms, however, damped out rapidly under continuous conditions. We quantified gene expression of wild type Synechocystis PCC 6083 over 48 hours under three different light regimes; 12:12-h light/dark cycle (LDLDL), transfer to continuous light (LDLLL), and transfer to continuous dark (LDDDD). Samples were taken every two hours starting at CT 5.5 with an extra sample 30 minutes after dawn. Before the transfer to continuous light/dark in the LDLLL and LDDDD experiment, samples were taken every 6 with an extra sample 30 minutes after dawn.

Project description:The trophic condition related proteomes of an oxygenic photosynthetic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (glucose tolerant strain) were analyzed to get further insights into the metabolic traits governing the early exponential growth under photoautotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions. The cells were grown under constant light autotrophically (AT) in low (air-level) CO2 (ATLC) and in high CO2 (ATHC), mixotrophically (MT) in low (air-level) CO2 in the presence of glucose (MTLC) and heterotrophically in low (air-level) CO2 in the presence of glucose and only 10 min exposure to light every 24 hours (Light-Activated Heterotrophic Growth; LAHGLC). The proteomes of ATHC, MTLC and LAHGLC differed substantially from that of ATLC, particularly by downregulation of the inducible carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM) and photorespiration related enzymes. On the contrary, under carbon-rich conditions (ATHC, MTLC, LAHGLC) the cells accumulated respiratory NAD(P)H dehydrogenase I complexes in the thylakoid membrane. In glucose supplemented cultures (MTLC, LAHGLC) a distinct NDH-2 protein, NdbA, additionally accumulated in the thylakoid membrane whilst the plasma membrane localized NdbC and ARTO decreased in abundance. The light-harvesting proteins together with the photosystem I and II subunits were uniquely depleted under LAHGLC condition, accumulated under ATHC and in MTLC remained at the level of the reference ATLC condition. The accumulation of P-transporters was unique, revealing only minor differences between ATLC and ATHC but strong up-regulation in MTLC and down-regulation in LAHGLC. This likely implies that MTLC stores energy surplus in the highly energetic bonds of polyphosphate polymer that can be used under unfavorable growth conditions. It is concluded that the rigor of cell growth in MTLC condition results to a great extent from high intracellular inorganic carbon conditions created upon glucose breakdown and release of CO2, beside the direct utilization of glucose-derived carbon skeletons for growth. This combination provides the MTLC cultures with excellent conditions for growth that often exceeds that of the mere photoautotrophic growth at high CO2.
