Differential expression analysis of a hyperthermophilic archeaon Thermococcus paralvinellae upon hydrogen stress

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Compare the transcriptomes of T. paralvinellae using RNA-Seq gene expression analyses to understand the physiology of this organism when it is grown on different carbon sources, under optimal and hydrogen stress conditions. Methods: T. paralvinellae was grown in triplicate at with either 0.5% maltose or 0.5% tryptone to investigate its catabolic pathways when grown on a sugar and peptides, respectively. It was also grown on 1% formate to determine the effect of formate on cell growth, metabolite production, and gene expression. It was also grown separately on maltose or tryptone media as before, except with hydrogen in the media to examine the effects of hydrogen inhibition. The cells remaining in the 2-liter bioreactor were concentrated by centrifugation. The resulting cell pellets were resuspended in TRIzol (Invitrogen) and total RNA was extracted using a Direct-zol RNA extraction kit (Zymo). RNA quantity was determined with Qubit fluorometry. RNA integrity was checked by a bioanalyzer and a Nanodrop spectrometer. Genewiz sequencing facilities performed rRNA removal, library construction, multiplexing and sequence the RNA with HiSeq2500, 2×100 Paired-End. We aligned the RNAseq reads to T. paralvinellae genome (STAR) and assigned aligned sequence reads to genomic features (featureCounts). We then quantified transcriptome and reported pairwise significant genes that are differentially expressed by DESeq available under Bioconductor (www.bioconductor.org) on Galaxy platform and in R. Results: Sequencing depths ranged from 29,974,378 to 45,240,342 sequences, with a mean of 38,990,002 and a median of 38,951,352 reads per sample. Of 2,138 genes annotated in the T. paralvinellae genome, 2084 transcripts were detected by RNA-Seq.Of the 2084 genes detected by transcriptomics, hydrogen stress caused only 48 genes to be differentially regulated (log2FC > 1, P < 0.05) with maltose and tryptone carbon sources. These included mostly genes associated with formate-dependent metabolism and transporters. The upregulated genes upon growth under H2 stress conditions indicate intrinsic formate production via formate hydrogen lyase and format secretion.

Project description:In order to obtain a global view of energy metabolism pathways of the sulfate-reducer Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough and the proteins involved therein whole-genome microarrays were used to compare the transcriptional response of cells grown with hydrogen/sulfate, pyruvate/sulfate, lactate/thiosulfate, and pyruvate with limiting sulfate, relative to growth in standard lactate/sulfate condition. Growth with hydrogen/sulfate showed the largest number of differently expressed genes and the largest changes in expression levels. The most up-regulated energy metabolism genes were those coding for the periplasmic [NiFeSe] hydrogenase, followed by the Ech hydrogenase, and the most down-regulated were genes coding for the Coo hydrogenase. The results point to the involvement of formate cycling and the ethanol pathway during growth on hydrogen, whereas there is evidence for CO cycling during growth on lactate and pyruvate, but not on H2. Growth with thiosulfate showed the hallmarks of a reduced energy status of the cells with down regulation of the ATP synthase and the Qmo and Dsr complexes., whereas growth with pyruvate showed the smallest differences but an increased role for the Ech hydrogenase.that in this case functions in reverse from the case of growth with H2. The multiple periplasmic hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases, do not display the same regulation pattern showing that their metabolic roles are not totally interchangeable. This result together with the observation that several genes coding for proteins that have not been biochemically characterised were considerably affected in this study, reveals a more complex energy metabolism than previously considered and provides guidance for further studies. Keywords: Growth protocol Desulfovibrio vulgaris from our laboratory culture collection was cultured at 37°C with hydrogen as the only electron donor (with sulfate as the electron acceptor) to mid-log phase. Cultures were also cultivated similarly using lactate as the sole electron donor to mid-log phase. Gene expression profiles of cultures grown with hydrogen as the electron donor were compared with those of the cultures grown with lactate as the electron donor for sulfate reduction. Total RNA was harvested from four replicate cultures for microarray analysis. RNA extraction, purification, and labeling were performed independently on each cell sample.Two samples of each total RNA preparation were labeled, one with Cy3-dUTP and another with Cy5-dUTP for microarray hybridization (dye swap).
