Differential Proteome Analysis of a Flor Yeast Strain under Biofilm Formation.

ABSTRACT: Several Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (flor yeasts) form a biofilm (flor velum) on the surface of Sherry wines after fermentation, when glucose is depleted. This flor velum is fundamental to biological aging of these particular wines. In this study, we identify abundant proteins in the formation of the biofilm of an industrial flor yeast strain. A database search to enrich flor yeast "biological process" and "cellular component" according to Gene Ontology Terminology (GO Terms) and, "pathways" was carried out. The most abundant proteins detected were largely involved in respiration, translation, stress damage prevention and repair, amino acid metabolism (glycine, isoleucine, leucine and arginine), glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and biosynthesis of vitamin B9 (folate). These proteins were located in cellular components as in the peroxisome, mitochondria, vacuole, cell wall and extracellular region; being these two last directly related with the flor formation. Proteins like Bgl2p, Gcv3p, Hyp2p, Mdh1p, Suc2p and Ygp1p were quantified in very high levels. This study reveals some expected processes and provides new and important information for the design of conditions and genetic constructions of flor yeasts for improving the cellular survival and, thus, to optimize biological aging of Sherry wine production.

Project description:Worldwide, Shewanella putrefaciens is the predominant seafood spoilage microorganism during cold storage. This bacterium can attach to biotic/abiotic surfaces to form biofilms which contribute to seafood quality degradation and shelf-life reduction. The mechanism of S. putrefaciens biofilm formation is not yet described. Crystal violet staining in combination with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to study the sequence of events leading to the establishment of a mature biofilm at 4, 15, and 30°C. In addition, the main chemical constituents of the mature biofilm were determined by Raman spectroscopy (RM), whereas, comparative proteomic analysis was used to quantify changes in metabolic pathways and to find out underlying protein determinants. The physical dimensions of the mature biofilm, i.e., biomass, biovolume, and mean thickness, were higher at 4°C when compared to 15 and 30°C. The variations of proteins measured by RM confirmed the importance of proteins during the formation of a mature biofilm. Comparative proteomic analysis showed that siderophore and iron chelate transport proteins were down-regulated during mature biofilm formation. The down-regulated aforementioned proteins are involved in promoting iron storage in response to a higher demand for metabolic energy, whereas, the upregulated proteins of the sulfur relay system, pyrimidine metabolism, and purine metabolism are related to bacterial adaptability. Synthesis of proteins related to cold stress was increased and proteins involved in aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis were up-regulated, whereas, proteins involved in aminopeptidase activity were down-regulated. Proteolysis to scavenge energy was reduced as proteins involved in pyrophosphatase activity were up-regulated. Also extracellular eDNA was found which may play an important role in maintaining the stability of mature S. putrefaciens biofilm structures under cold stress. This work provides a better understanding of the role of proteins in mature biofilms. In addition, the biofilm formation mechanism of a psychrotrophic spoilage bacterial species at low temperature is explored, which may contribute to generating biofilm controlling strategies during seafood preservation and processing.

Project description:Flor strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are principal microbial agents responsible for biological wine aging used for production of sherry-like wines. The flor yeast velum formed on the surface of fortified fermented must is a major adaptive and technological characteristic of flor yeasts that helps them to withstanding stressful winemaking conditions and ensures specific biochemical and sensory oxidative alterations typical for sherry wines. We have applied RNAseq technology for transcriptome analysis of an industrial flor yeast strain at different steps of velum development over 71 days under experimental winemaking conditions. Velum growth and maturation was accompanied by accumulation of aldehydes and acetales. We have identified 1490 differentially expressed genes including 816 genes upregulated and 674 downregulated more than 2-fold at mature biofilm stage as compared to the early biofilm. Distinct expression patterns of genes involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, respiration, cell cycle, DNA repair, cell adhesion, response to various stresses were observed. Many genes involved in response to different stresses, oxidative carbon metabolism, high affinity transport of sugars, glycerol utilization, sulfur metabolism, protein quality control and recycling, cell wall biogenesis, apoptosis were induced at the mature biofilm stage. Strong upregulation was observed for FLO11 flocculin while expression of other flocculins remained unaltered or moderately downregulated. Downregulated genes included those for proteins involved in glycolysis, transportation of ions, metals, aminoacids, sugars, indicating repression of some major transport and metabolic process at the mature biofilm stage. Presented results are important for in-depth understanding of cell response elicited by velum formation and sherry wine manufacturing conditions, and for the comprehension of relevant regulatory mechanisms. Such knowledge may help to better understand the molecular mechanisms that flor yeasts use to adapt to winemaking environments, establish the functions of previously uncharacterized genes, improve the technology of sherry- wine production, and find target genes for strain improvement.
