Effect of clpX overexpression in Synechococcus

ABSTRACT: In the unicellular cyanobacteriuIn the cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, most genes show rhythmic expression controlled by the Kai-based clock under continuous light conditions (LL). Overexpression of clpX led to a decrease in kaiBC promoter activity, disruption of circadian rhythm, and eventually cell death. We found that overexpression of clpX upregulated mRNA levels of ribosomal protein subunits, after which expression of other genes containing the clock genes was decreased. Wild type (WT) and inducible clpX-overexpressor (ox-clpX) S. elongatus PCC 7942 strains were analyzed under continuous light (LL) using Affymetrix high-density oligonucleotide microarrays (GeneChip CustomExpress Arrays) representing predicted 2,515 protein-coding genes on the genome of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 6301, which can be used also to the almost homologous strain, S. elongatus PCC 7942: WT at hours 16 in LL (IPTG-free): WT under LL 20 in LL (addition of 100 µM IPTG for 4 hours): ox-clpX cells at hours 16 in LL (IPTG-free): ox-clpX cells at hours 20 in LL (addition of 100 µM IPTG for 4 hours)

Project description:In the unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, essentially all promoter activities are under the control of the circadian clock in continuous light (LL) conditions. Here, we employed high-density oligonucleotide arrays to explore comprehensive profiles of genome-wide Synechococcus gene expression in wild type, kaiABC-null and kaiC-overexpressor strains under LL and continuous dark (DD) conditions. In the wild type strain more than 30% of transcripts significantly oscillated in a circadian fashion, peaking at subjective dawn and dusk. Such circadian control was nullified in kaiABC-null strains. Although KaiC has been proposed to globally repress gene expression, our analysis revealed that dawn expressing genes were upregulated by kaiC-overexpression, such that the clock was arrested at subjective dawn. Transfer of cells to continuous dark (DD) conditions from LL immediately suppressed expression of most of genes, while the clock keeps time even in the absence of transcriptional feedback. Thus, the Synechococcus genome seems primarily regulated by the light/dark cycles and dramatically modified by the protein-based circadian oscillator.
