Cell-specific gene expression in Anabaena variabilis grown phototrophically, mixotrophically, and heterotrophically

ABSTRACT: For the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis to grow without combined nitrogen, certain cells differentiate into heterocysts that fix N2, while vegetative cells perform photosynthesis. Much remains unknown on how heterocysts differ from vegetative cells in terms of carbon and energy metabolisms. Microarrays were used to investigate gene transcription patterns in vegetative cells, heterocysts, and filaments of N2-fixing phototrophic, mixotrophic, and heterotrophic cultures. Hybridizations used NimbleGen expression array chips (Product no. A4385-00-01, platform accession no GPL15883) designed against the 5,657 ORFs encoded in the A. variabilis genome (GenBank accession no. CP000117). Each ORF was represented by seventeen 60-mer oligonucleotides. Each oligonucleotide was present in four internal replicates. The twenty-seven microarray data files were normalized against each other. Expression array data were analyzed using ArrayStar 3.0 (DNASTAR, Madison, WI).

Transcriptome analysis of a N. punctiforme sigG mutant

Project description:Nostoc punctiforme is a filamentous cyanobacterium capable if differentiating normal vegetative cells into nitrogen fixing heterocysts and spore-like akinetes. Here the effects of a sigma factor (sigG) mutation on the transcriptome was analyzed under 1) normal vegetative growth, and 2) following akinete induction. A zwf strain grown with fructose differentiates into akinetes following transfer to darkness. A DNA microarray was used to compare gene expression from the zwf strain to a zwf sigG double mutant two days following akinte induction by darkness. Gene expression in a zwf mutant strain was compared to a zwf sigG double mutant strain under normal vegetative growth and at two days following akinete induction. Each experiment used three array slides with two biological replicates. A dye swap was used for one biological replicate.

Comparative transcriptomics of wild-type (UCD 153) and patN-deletion strains (UCD 524) of Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133

Project description:Heterocysts, cells specialized for nitrogen fixation in certain filamentous cyanobacteria, appear singly in a nonrandom spacing pattern along the chain of vegetative cells. A two-stage, biased initiation and competitive resolution model has been proposed to explain the establishment of this spacing pattern. There is substantial evidence that competitive resolution of a subset of cells initiating differentiation occurs by interactions between a self enhancing activator, HetR, and a diffusible inhibitor PatS-5 (RGSGR). Results presented here show that the absence of a unique membrane protein, PatN, in Nostoc punctiforme strain ATCC 29133 leads to a threefold increase in heterocyst frequency and a fourfold decrease in the vegetative cell interval between heterocysts. A PatN-GFP translational fusion shows a pattern of biased inheritance in daughter vegetative cells of ammonium-grown cultures. Inactivation of another heterocyst patterning gene, patA, is epistatic to inactivation of patN, and transcription of patA increases in a patN- deletion strain, implying that patN may function by modulating levels of patA. The presence of PatN is hypothesized to decrease the competency of a vegetative cell to initiate heterocyst differentiation, and the cellular concentration of PatN is dependent on cell division that results in cells transiently depleted of PatN. We suggest that biased inheritance of cell-fate determinants is a phylogenetic domain- spanning paradigm in the development of biological patterns. Change in gene expression for a wild-type (UCD 153) and patN-deletion strain, (UCD 524) of Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 over the time course of heterocyst developments. Total RNA from 3 biological replicates at each time point from 0 to 120 hours after removal of combined nitrogen (Nitrogen step-down) was converted to cDNA, dye-labled and hybridized to nimblegen 12x135k array slides.

RNA-seq of Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 (Anabaena sp. PCC 7120) wild-type strain, hetZ mutant and hetP mutant

Project description:Total RNA was extracted from Anabaena 7120, hetZ mutant and hetP mutant at 24 h after nitrogen stepdown with two independent biological replicates. To maintain the integrity of coding RNAs, total RNA were sequenced without ribosomal RNA elimination. Strand-specific RNA-Seq libraries were prepared and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing instrument to generate paired-end reads with length of 125 bp.

Transcriptional Regulation of Anabaena 7120 response to Nitrogen Deprivation

Project description:Here, we report the transcriptome of Anabaena sp. strain 7120, a cyanobacterium that forms specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Our data suggests that cyanobacteria frequently have more complex transcripts than thought, with large 5' UTRs, numerous antisense transcripts, and multiple transcriptional start sites or processing sites. Four samples of total filament RNA were sequenced with Illumina 40bp reads using directional RNA sequencing (see the Illumina small RNA prep protocol). The samples are 0hr (vegetative cells grown in the presence of ammonia) and 6hr, 12hr, and 21hr cells (after nitrogen step down).

RNA-seq experiment of the amoeboflagellate Orciraptor agilis feeding on Mougeotia sp.

Project description:In this study transcriptomic data of three life history stages of Orciraptor agilis was generated: 1) Gliding cells in absence of food ('gliding'), 2) Cells attached to the cell wall of its algal prey during perforation ('fattacking'), 3) Cells after acquisition of the algal plastid material ('digesting'). Furthermore, RNA-seq of the algal prey Mougeotia sp. was also performed. A de novo transcriptome assembly of the algal reads was performed in order to identify and substract algal reads of the Orciraptor samples by mapping the Orciraptor reads to the algal transcriptome. After this filtering step the remaining Orciraptor reads from all libraries were pooled for a de novo transcriptome assembly of Orciraptor agilis. This transcriptome was the basis for a comparative transcriptomic study in which transcript expression was compared between the three life history stages.

A new world of RNA-binding proteins in heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central components of gene regulatory networks and RNA metabolism. The differentiation of nitrogen-fixing heterocysts in some filamentous cyanobacteria and their cooperation with vegetative cells in the same filament is one of the evolutionarily oldest cases of true multicellularity. Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 (Nostoc) is a model organism for filamentous cyanobacteria that differentiate heterocysts. Although hundreds of noncoding transcripts may be involved in this process, the RBPs that could cooperate with them are poorly characterized. We have used R-DeeP/GradR, a technique based on the differential sedimentation of RNA-protein complexes after RNase treatment in density gradients. All macromolecular complexes in the cell are fractionated by a sucrose gradient followed by high-resolution proteomics. We have compared gradients of RNase-treated with untreated samples in triplicates. If a protein was part of an RNA-protein complex, the complex should be disassembled after the RNase treatment and a shift of the protein position in the gradient should be observed (RNA-dependent proteins). Our approach yielded 333 RNA-dependent proteins. The results were compared to a bioinformatic prediction of RBPs and biochemical validation. We validated in vivo the RNA-binding capacity of 6 new RBPs. Some of these proteins were previously known to be involved in essential biological processes such as photosynthesis or heterocyst differentiation, but their association with RNA was previously unknown. In other cases, the function of the validated candidates was unknown. A knock-out strain of alr1700, a gene encoding a validated RNA-binding protein of unknown function, showed a deregulation of heterocyst differentiation, confirming the role of RBPs in regulating this cell differentiation process.

Unbalancing FurB (Zur)-mediated homeostasis in Anabaena sp. PCC7120: Consequences on heterocyst development and biofilm formation

Project description:Here, we report the comparison of transcriptomes of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and the FurB(Zur) deletion derivative strain (MN38). Anabaena sp PCC7120 is a cyanobacterium that differentiates specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts and that is capable of forming biofilms. Our data showed that the deletion of FurB negativily affected the heterocyst development and the biofilm formation. In addition, the RNA-seq data together with gel retardation assays unveiled that FurB is directly involved in the regulation of several genes related to heterocyst development and biofilm formation and other novel functions different from the ones related to the canonical Zur regulon.

Atmospheric hydrogen oxidation extends to the domain archaea

Project description:Diverse aerobic bacteria use atmospheric hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) as energy sources to support growth and survival. Though recently discovered, trace gas oxidation is now recognised as a globally significant process that serves as the main sink in the biogeochemical H2 cycle and sustains microbial biodiversity in oligotrophic ecosystems. While trace gas oxidation has been reported in nine phyla of bacteria, it was not known whether archaea also use atmospheric H2. Here we show that a thermoacidophilic archaeon, Acidianus brierleyi (Thermoproteota), constitutively consumes H2 and CO to sub-atmospheric levels. Oxidation occurred during both growth and survival across a wide range of temperatures (10 to 70°C). Genomic analysis demonstrated that A. brierleyi encodes a canonical carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and, unexpectedly, four distinct [NiFe]-hydrogenases from subgroups not known to mediate aerobic H2 uptake. Quantitative proteomic analyses showed that A. brierleyi differentially produced these enzymes in response to electron donor and acceptor availability. A previously unidentified group 1 [NiFe]-hydrogenase, with a unique genetic arrangement, is constitutively expressed and upregulated during stationary phase and aerobic hydrogenotrophic growth. Another archaeon, Metallosphaera sedula, was also found to oxidize atmospheric H2. These results suggest that trace gas oxidation is a common trait of aerobic archaea, which likely plays a role in their survival and niche expansion, including during dispersal through temperate environments. These findings also demonstrate that atmospheric H2 consumption is a cross-domain phenomenon, suggesting an ancient origin of this trait, and identify previously unknown microbial and enzymatic sinks of atmospheric H2 and CO.
