A nonmitochondrial hydrogen production in Naegleria gruberi.

Project description:Naegleria gruberi is a free-living heterotrophic aerobic amoeba well known for its ability to transform from an amoeba to a flagellate form. The genome of N. gruberi has been recently published, and in silico predictions demonstrated that Naegleria has the capacity for both aerobic respiration and anaerobic biochemistry to produce molecular hydrogen in its mitochondria. This finding was considered to have fundamental implications on the evolution of mitochondrial metabolism and of the last eukaryotic common ancestor. However, no actual experimental data have been shown to support this hypothesis. For this reason, we have decided to investigate the anaerobic metabolism of the mitochondrion of N. gruberi. Using in vivo biochemical assays, we have demonstrated that N. gruberi has indeed a functional [FeFe]-hydrogenase, an enzyme that is attributed to anaerobic organisms. Surprisingly, in contrast to the published predictions, we have demonstrated that hydrogenase is localized exclusively in the cytosol, while no hydrogenase activity was associated with mitochondria of the organism. In addition, cytosolic localization displayed for HydE, a marker component of hydrogenase maturases. Naegleria gruberi, an obligate aerobic organism and one of the earliest eukaryotes, is producing hydrogen, a function that raises questions on the purpose of this pathway for the lifestyle of the organism and potentially on the evolution of eukaryotes.

Expression analysis of Naegleria gruberi (strain NEG) during differentiation from the amoeba to the flagellate form

Project description:Naegleria gruberi is a single-celled eukaryote best known for its remarkable ability to form an entire microtubule cytoskeleton de novo during its metamorphosis from an amoeba into a flagellate, including two basal bodies (equivalent to centrioles), two flagella (equivalent to cilia), and a cytoplasmic microtubule array. This full-genome transcriptional analysis, performed at 20-minute intervals throughout Naegleria differentiation, reveals vast transcriptional changes, including the differential expression of cytoskeletal, metabolism, signaling and stress response genes. Naegleria gruberi (strain NEG) was grown in association with Kleibsiella pneumoniae on solid media. Cells were prepared and differentiated using standard protocols, and harvested at 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes after initiation of differentiation.

Complete genome sequence of a novel extrachromosomal virus-like element identified in planarian Girardia tigrina.

Project description:BackgroundFreshwater planarians are widely used as models for investigation of pattern formation and studies on genetic variation in populations. Despite extensive information on the biology and genetics of planaria, the occurrence and distribution of viruses in these animals remains an unexplored area of research.ResultsUsing a combination of Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) and Mirror Orientation Selection (MOS), we compared the genomes of two strains of freshwater planarian, Girardia tigrina. The novel extrachromosomal DNA-containing virus-like element denoted PEVE (Planarian Extrachromosomal Virus-like Element) was identified in one planarian strain. The PEVE genome (about 7.5 kb) consists of two unique regions (Ul and Us) flanked by inverted repeats. Sequence analyses reveal that PEVE comprises two helicase-like sequences in the genome, of which the first is a homolog of a circoviral replication initiator protein (Rep), and the second is similar to the papillomavirus E1 helicase domain. PEVE genome exists in at least two variant forms with different arrangements of single-stranded and double-stranded DNA stretches that correspond to the Us and Ul regions. Using PCR analysis and whole-mount in situ hybridization, we characterized PEVE distribution and expression in the planarian body.ConclusionsPEVE is the first viral element identified in free-living flatworms. This element differs from all known viruses and viral elements, and comprises two potential helicases that are homologous to proteins from distant viral phyla. PEVE is unevenly distributed in the worm body, and is detected in specific parenchyma cells.

Plant-type mitochondrial RNA editing in the protist Naegleria gruberi.

Project description:RNA editing converts hundreds of cytidines into uridines in plant mitochondrial and chloroplast transcripts. Recognition of the RNA editing sites in the organelle transcriptomes requires numerous specific, nuclear-encoded RNA-binding pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins with characteristic carboxy-terminal protein domain extensions (E/DYW) previously thought to be unique to plants. However, a small gene family of such plant-like PPR proteins of the DYW-type was recently discovered in the genome of the protist Naegleria gruberi. This raised the possibility that plant-like RNA editing may occur in this amoeboflagellate. Accordingly, we have investigated the mitochondrial transcriptome of Naegleria gruberi and here report on identification of two sites of C-to-U RNA editing in the cox1 gene and in the cox3 gene, both of which reconstitute amino acid codon identities highly conserved in evolution. An estimated 1.5 billion years of evolution separate the heterolobosean protist Naegleria from the plant lineage. The new findings either suggest horizontal gene transfer of RNA editing factors or that plant-type RNA editing is evolutionarily much more ancestral than previously thought and yet to be discovered in many other ancient eukaryotic lineages.
