Project description:Analysis of genome-wide gene expression patterns in response to copper in WT and COPR mutant in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803. Here we have used microarrays to interrogate the global responses to copper additions at non-toxic (0.3 micromolar) and toxic concentrations (3 micromolar) of copper in WT and in a mutant in the copR gene. Addition of the non-toxic copper concentration stimulated the metabolism and induced the switch in the use from cyitochrome c6 to plastocyanin. In contrast, high copper addition induced a stress response and affected the metabolism of several other metals. This included repression of ribosomal, photosynthetic and metabolic genes and induction of chaperones and antioxidant enzymes genes. Finally CopRS seems to control only the expression of the copMRS and copBAC operons as all other genes that were differentially expressed by copper seemed to be unaffected in copR strains.

Project description:Arsenic is an ubiquitous contaminant and a toxic metalloid which presents two main redox states in nature: arsenite [AsIII] and arsenate [AsV]. Arsenic resistance in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is mediated by the arsBHC operon and two additional arsenate reductases encoded by the arsI1 and arsI2 genes. Here we describe the genome-wide responses in response to the presence of arsenate and arsenite in wild type and in mutants in the arsenic resistance system. Both forms of arsenic produced similar responses in the wild type strain including induction of several stress related genes and repression of energy generation processes. The responses observed in the arsB mutant strain were similar to the wild type in short term but were maintained in time while they were only transient in the wild type strain. In contrast, the responses observed in a strain lacking all arsenate reductases (the SARS12 strain) were somewhat different and included lower induction of genes involved in metal homeostasis and Fe-S cluster biogenesis. These results suggest that these two processes are targeted by arsenite in the wild type strain. Finally, analysis of the arsR mutant strain revealed that ArsR seems to only control 5 genes in the genome. Furthermore, over-expression of ArsB conferred hypersentivity to nickel, copper and cadmium in an arsR mutant strain. Analysis of genome-wide gene expression patterns in response to arsenic in WT and mutants involved in arsenic detoxification in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803. Cells treated with arsenate or arsenite for 1h. Details: WT cells were treated with 1 mM arsenite for 1 h and its expression profile compared to untreated cells (grown in BG11C media). The effects of arsenate were analyzed in the same way but using a modified BG11C media that constains 15% of the normal phosphate concentration (BG11C low phosphate). A reduction in the phosphate concentration in the media is essential to detect grow inhibition after arsenate addition. In the same way that for arsenite cells were treated with 50 mM arsenate for 1 h and their expression profile was compared to untreated cells. Expression profiles of mutant strains lacking arsB gene (SARSB strain; this strain is hypersensitive to arsenite because it lacks the arsenite exporter) or arsR gene (SARSR strain; this strain expresses the arsBHC constitutively) in control conditions and in response to arsenite addition were also analyzed. In addition the expression profiles of a mutant lacking arsenate reductases (SARS12 strain that has interrupted arsC, arsI1 and arsI2 genes; this strain is hypersensitive to arsenate) were analyzed in both control conditions and after addition of 50 mM arsenate.

Project description:The function of ascorbate peroxidase-related (APX-R) proteins, present in all green photosynthetic eukaryotes, remains unclear. This study focuses on APX-R from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, namely ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APX2). We showed that apx2 mutants exhibited a faster oxidation of the PSI primary electron donor, P700, upon sudden light increase and a slower re-reduction rate compared to the wild type, pointing to a limitation of plastocyanin. Spectroscopic, proteomic, and immunoblot analyses confirmed that the phenotype was a result of lower levels of plastocyanin in the apx2 mutants. The redox state of P700 did not differ between wild type and apx2 mutants when the loss of function in plastocyanin was nutritionally complemented by growing apx2 mutants under copper deficiency. In this case, cytochrome c6 functionally replaces plastocyanin, confirming that lower levels of plastocyanin was the primary defect caused by absence of APX2. Overall, the results presented here shed light on an unexpected regulation of plastocyanin level under copper replete conditions, induced by ascorbate peroxidase 2 in Chlamydomonas

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

Project description:The absolute amount of plastocyanin (PC), ferredoxin-NADP+-oxidoreductase (FNR), hydrogenase (HYDA1) and ferredoxin 5 (FDX5) were quantified in aerobic and anaerobic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii whole cells using purified (recombinant) proteins as internal standard in a mass spectrometric approach. Quantified protein amounts were related to the estimated amount of PSI. The ratios of PC to FNR to HYDA1 to FDX5 in aerobic cells were determined to be 2.1 : 1.8 : 0.005 : 0. In anaerobic cells, the ratios changed to 1.6 : 1.8 : 0.026 : 0.04 (PC : FNR : HYDA1 : Fdx5). Employing sodium dithionite and methyl viologen as electron donors the specific activity of hydrogenase in whole cells was calculated to be 382 ±96.5 μmolH2/min/mg. Importantly, these data demonstrate for competition of electrons from FDX1, HYDA1 is about 70-fold less abundant than its competitor FNR. Effective in vivo hydrogen production points to a channeling mechanism for FDX to HYDA1 electron transfer.

Project description:To investigate acclimation mechanisms employed under extreme high light conditions, gene expression analysis was performed using the model microalgae Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (PCC 6803) cultured under various light intensities. From the low to the mid light conditions, the expression of genes related to light harvesting systems was repressed, whereas that of CO2 fixation and of D1 protein turnover-related genes was induced. Gene expression data also revealed that the down-regulation of genes related to flagellum synthesis (pilA2), pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (pntA and pntB), and sigma factor (sigA and sigF) represents acclimation mechanisms of PCC 6803 under excessive high light conditions.

Project description:Zinc is an essential nutrient because of its role in catalysis and in stabilizing protein structure, but excess zinc can also be deleterious. Four nutritional zinc states have been identified in the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: zinc toxic, zinc replete, zinc deficient and zinc limited. Growth is inhibited in zinc-limited and zinc toxic cells relative to zinc-replete cells, while zinc-deficiency is visually asymptomatic but distinguished by the accumulation of transcripts encoding ZIP family transporters. To identify targets of zinc deficiency and mechanisms of zinc acclimation, we used RNA-seq to probe zinc nutrition responsive changes in gene expression. We identified a subset of genes encoding zinc-handling components, including ZIP family transporters and candidate zinc chaperones. In addition, we noted an impact on two other regulatory pathways, the carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) and the nutritional copper regulon. Targets of transcription factor Ccm1 and various CAH genes are up-regulated in zinc-deficiency, as a likely consequence of reduced carbonic anhydrase activity, which is validated by mass spectrometry and immunoblot analysis of Cah1, Cah3 and Cah4. Chlamydomonas is therefore not able to grow photoautotrophically in air in zinc limiting conditions, but supplementation with 1% CO2 restores growth to wild-type rates, suggesting that the inability to maintain CCM is a major consequence of zinc limitation. Surprisingly, we noted also that the Crr1 regulon, which responds to Cu limitation, is also turned on in zinc deficiency, and in fact, Crr1 is required for growth in zinc-limiting conditions. Zinc deficient cells are functionally copper deficient, as evidenced by reduced plastocyanin abundance, even though they hyperaccumulate copper up to 50-fold over normal levels. We suggest that zinc-deficient cells sequester Cu in a bio-unavailable form, perhaps to prevent mis-metallation of critical zinc sites. Zn-limited wild-type cells were generated by transfer of cells from the first round of growth in medium with no supplemental Zn into TAP medium supplemented or not with 2.5 µM Zn-EDTA The control samples for this study are represented in GSE25622
