Project description:Acclimation to singlet oxygen was shown to induce various oxidative stress response genes of which some were also strongly overexpressed in the singlet oxygen resistant mutant sor1. Because sor1 was also more tolerant to other oxidative and electrophilic stress conditions, and because many of the sor1 overexpressed genes are known to be involved in the detoxification of reactive electrophile species, the response of the C. reinhardtii wild-type strain to various oxidative and electrophilic stress conditions was determined. Therefore, cultures were exposed to the reactive oxygen species-producing photosensitizer neutral red, the organic hydroperoxide tert-butylhydroperoxide, the photosynthetic herbicide 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB) and the lipophilic electrophile 2(E)-Hexenal for two hours and the global genetic response was analyzed. Cluster analysis revealed the most similar expression pattern between DBMIB and 2(E)-Hexenal and to a lower degree between NR and tBOOH. Still, there were many common induced genes including several of the oxidative stress response and detoxification genes overexpressed in the sor1 mutant. The 4A+ wild-type strain was grown mixotrophically in a Tris-acetate phosphate to a density of 2x10^6 cells/ml. Then cultures were split into 20 ml subcultures, and exposed to either of the four chemicals DBMIB (2 µM), 2(E)-Hexenal (0.3 mM), neutral red (NR, 3 µM), tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBOOH, 100 µM) or no chemical (control) for 2 hours, in three independent biological replicates. The cells of each replicate were harvested by centrifugation and total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). DNA microarrays were performed using the ‘One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis’ system and a custom made 4 × 44 K ‘Chlamydomonas Whole Genome DNA Microarrays’ (Agilent Technologies) containing 15143 specific probes designed based on the Chlamydomonas version 4.0 transcript models provided by the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI), with an average of three replicates for each probe

Project description:In a screen for singlet oxygen resistant mutants, a mutant called sor1 was isolated with increased resistance to different oxidative and electrophilic stress conditions. This mutant was found to have a constitutive high expression of three known singlet oxygen response genes, a glutathione peroxidase GPX5 and two glutathione-S-transferase GSTS1 and GSTS2. The sor1 mutation was mapped to the gene of a 393-amino acid protein for which blast searches revealed only poor homology to other proteins but predicted a putative basic leucine zipper DNA binding domain indicating that it might function as transcription factor to activate gene expression during oxidative stress.Global expression analysis of sor1 compared to the untreated wild-type enabled to identify additional genes differentially regulated in the sor1 mutant including several other genes involved in oxidative stress response and detoxification of endogenous xenobiotics. The sor1 mutant and the corresponding wild-type strain 4A+ were grown mixotrophically in a Tris-acetate phosphate in three independent biological replicates. Then the cells of each replicate were harvested by centrifugation and total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). DNA microarrays were performed using the ‘One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis’ system and a custom made 4 × 44 K ‘Chlamydomonas Whole Genome DNA Microarrays’ (Agilent Technologies) containing 15143 specific probes designed based on the Chlamydomonas version 4.0 transcript models provided by the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI), with an average of three replicates for each probe

Project description:To identify components involved in the signal transduction and activation of the singlet oxygen-mediated response, a mutant selection was performed. This led to the isolation of the singlet oxygen resistant 1 (sor1) mutant, which is more tolerant to singlet oxygen-producing chemicals and shows a constitutively higher expression of GPXH and GSTS1. Map-based cloning revealed that the SOR1 gene encodes a novel bZIP transcription factor, which seems to control its own expression as well as that of a large number of oxidative stress response and detoxification genes. In the promoter region of many of these genes a highly conserved 8-bp palindromic sequence element was found to be enriched. This element was shown to be essential for GSTS1 overexpression in sor1 and for induction by increased levels of lipophilic reactive electrophile species (RES) suggesting that it functions as an electrophile response element (ERE). RES can be formed after singlet oxygen-induced lipid peroxidation, indicating that a RES-stimulated and SOR1-mediated response of detoxification genes is part of the singlet oxygen-induced acclimation process in C. reinhardtii. The sor1 mutant isolated in a screen for singlet oxygen resistant mutants and the corresponding wild-type strain 4A+ were grown in a 12 h light dark cycle for several days before total RNA was extracted 6 h after the light came on.

Project description:Sporophytes of Saccharina latissima were exposed for two weeks to 12 different combinations of photosynthetically active radiation and UVR at three different temperatures (2,7,12 C). Maximum quantum yield of photosystem II was determined twice a week during the experimental duration for observing the extent of photoinhibition. For investigating molecular mechanisms of acclimation to high photosynthetically radiation, and UVR gene expression profiles were assessed through microarray hybridizations.

Project description:An increasing number of small proteins has been identified in the genomes of well-annotated model organisms including photosynthetic cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. A newly assigned protein comprising 37 amino acids was analyzed that is encoded upstream of the super-oxide dismutase SodB encoding gene. The initial hypothesis that this small protein might be functionally related to SodB could not be supported, instead we provide evidence that it fulfills important functions related to the organization of photosynthetic complexes. Therefore, we named it small light-induced protein of 4 kDa, SliP4. SliP4 is strongly induced under high-light-conditions and it is co-localized to photosystem I and II as well as NDH1 complexes on thylakoid membranes. Tagged SliP4 was used to purify NDH1 complexes, where it is especially associated with the subunits NdhF1 and NdhD1. Mutation of the protein-coding part in the sliP4 gene resulted in a high-light-sensitive phenotype, because the mutant was not further able to induce cyclic electron flow and state transitions under high-light conditions. Collectively our data indicate that SliP4 contributes to the association of NDH1 with the photosystem I and/or photosystem II complexes to facilitate different electron transfer modes under high light conditions.

Project description:Phoenix dactylifera seedlings were exposed to heat, drought and combined heat & drought conditions in growth chambers. Leaf samples were collected for total RNA isolation (RNAseq, Illumina HiSeq 1000), and water soluble metabolites. The RNAseq of four biological replicates (two individuals per replicate) were compared against the control condition. Transcriptomics data suggests the combine heat and drought resembled heat response, whereas drought resembled more to control. The hallmarks of heat stress were visible in the transcriptomics data, such as protein misfolding, response to hydrogen peroxide and cell wall modification, as well as ABA signaling in the case of drought. Since the plants were exposed to the stress for several days before harvesting, the early signs of heat stress such as calcium and NO signaling were not detected anymore. In addition, data suggest a significant enrichment of circadian rhythm motifs in the differentially expressed genes in heat and combined heat and drought stresses, suggesting new stress avoidance strategies.

Project description:Here we show that the phytochrome-less chlorophyte Chlamydomonas reinhardtii retains a functional pathway to synthesize the linear tetrapyrrole (bilin) precursor of the phytochrome chromophore. Reverse genetic, metabolic inactivation and bilin rescue experiments establish that this pathway is needed for heme iron acquisition and for the diurnal transition to phototrophic growth. RNA-Seq measurements reveal a bilin-dependent signaling network that is necessary for the heterotrophic to phototrophic transition. These results imply the presence of a novel bilin sensor pathway that may be widely distributed amongst oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. We isolated RNA from heterotrophic suspension cultures of 4A+ WT and the hmox1 mutant grown in the presence or absence of 0.1 mM BV IXM-NM-1 before and after transfer to low light.
