Project description:Iron is an essential cofactor in many metabolic reactions. Mechanisms controlling iron homeostasis need to respond to changes in extracellular conditions, but must also keep the concentration of intracellular iron under strict control, as free ferrous iron (Fe2+) can lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Due to its role as redox carrier in photosynthesis, the iron quota in cyanobacteria is about 10 times higher than in model enterobacteria, but the molecular details how such high quota is tightly regulated have remained obscure. Here, we measured time-resolved gene expression changes after iron depletion in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 using a comprehensive microarray platform monitoring both protein-coding and non-coding transcripts. In total, 644 protein-coding genes were differentially expressed during the first 72h. Many of these proteins are associated with iron transport, photosynthesis or ATP synthesis. Comparing our data with three previous studies, we identified a core set of 28 genes involved in the iron stress response. Among them were genes encoding proteins important for assimilation of inorganic carbon, suggesting a previously unknown link between the carbon and iron regulatory networks. Nine of the 28 genes are of unknown function and constitute key targets for detailed functional analysis. Applying identical statistical and clustering criteria as for the protein-coding fraction, we also identified 10 small RNAs, 62 anti-sense RNAs, four 5M-bM-^@M-^YUTRs and 7 intergenic elements as likely to be involved in the iron regulatory network. Hence, our genome-wide profiling results indicate an unprecedented complexity in the iron-related regulatory network of cyanobacteria. We monitored iron limitation stress induced gene expression changes in the cyanobacterial model organism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. We included a control sample without iron-stress (0h) and 5 samples from timepoints after stress induction (3h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h). Each timepoint was sampled from two independent biological replicates.

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.

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)

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:Quantification of circadian gene expression in WT Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells We quantified circadian gene expression of the wild type Synechocystis PCC6083 strain. Over a 24 h time course, 6 samples for RNA isolation were taken at the following time points: 30 minutes before and after light is switched off (sample 1 - CT 11.5 and sample 2 - CT 12.5), 30 minutes before midnight (sample 3 - CT 17.5), 348 30 minutes before and after light onset (sample 4 - CT 23.5 and sample 5 - CT 0.5) and 30 minutes before noon (sample 6 - CT 5.5).

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 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.

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.

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:The production of biofuels in photosynthetic microalgae and cyanobacteria is considered a promising alternative to the generation of fuels from fossil resources. However, to be economically competitive, producer strains need to be established that synthesize the targeted product at high yield and over a long time. Engineering cyanobacteria to forced fuel producers should considerably interfere with overall cell homeostasis, which in turn might counteract productivity and sustainability of the process. Therefore, in-depth characterization of the cellular response upon long-term production is of high interest for the targeted improvement of a desired strain. Here we report the results of a monitoring experiment, in which the transcriptome-wide response to continuous ethanol production in the unicellular model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 was examined using high resolution microarrays. In two independent experiments, ethanol production rates of 0.0338% (v/v) EtOH d-1 M-BM-1 0.002 and 0.0303% (v/v) d-1 M-BM-1 0.002 were obtained over 18 consecutive days, measuring biological triplicates in fully automated photobioreactors. Ethanol production caused a significant (~40%) delay in biomass accumulation in the producer strains and the development of a bleaching phenotype. Absorption spectroscopy indicated in particular a down-regulation of light harvesting capacity. Microarray analyses performed at day 4, 7, 11 and 18 of the experiment revealed only three mRNAs with a strongly modified accumulation level throughout the course of the experiment. In addition to the overexpressed adhA (slr1192) gene, this was an about 4 fold reduction in cpcB (sll1577) and an about 3 to 6 fold increase in rps8 (sll1809) mRNA levels. Much weaker modifications of expression level or modifications restricted to day 18 of the experiment were observed for genes involved in carbon assimilation (Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and Glutamate decarboxylase). Molecular analysis of the reduced cpcB levels revealed a post-transcriptional operon discoordination in the cpcBA operon leaving a truncated mRNA cpcA* likely not competent for translation. Moreover, Western blots and zinc-enhanced bilin fluorescence blots confirmed a severe reduction in the amounts of both phycocyanin subunits, explaining the cause of the bleaching phenotype. We conclude that the changes in gene expression upon induction of long term ethanol production in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 are highly specific. in particular we did not observe a comprehensive stress response contributing to a complex phenotype as might have been expected. Gene expression of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 WT (#621) and the isogenic ethanol producing strain #309 was monitored at 4, 7, 11 and 18 days after induction of ethanol production by copper depletion. Each condition was sampled in biological duplicates
