S. meliloti 1021 WT and ΔcspA2 ΔcspA4 whole transcriptome sequencing from free-living and symbiotic nodules

ABSTRACT: Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can associate with some legumes and participate in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Bacterial CspA family members are small, single stranded nucleic acid binding proteins. Differentiation of rhizobial bacteria from a free-living to symbiotic state within legume root nodules follows a massive re-programming of bacterial gene expression. Here, the role of Sinorhizobium meliloti CspA family members in symbiotic development with Medicago sativa (alfalfa) was investigated. We defined expression patterns of CspA family members, identified CspA interacting RNAs, and investigated phenotypes and transcriptional defects associated with cspA deletion strains. We propose that these proteins affect rhizobial physiology through their global control of the cellular RNA secondary structure strength environment and through specific modulation of small non-coding RNA (sRNA) structures involved in cis-regulation of stress responsive sigma factor expression. This work describes an RNA structure mediated mechanism important for bacterial stress adaptation and symbiotic development within a plant host.

Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110 nodulation of Aeschynomene afraspera is associated with atypical terminal bacteroid differentiation and suboptimal symbiotic efficiency

Project description:Legume plants can form root organs called nodules where they house intracellular symbiotic rhizobium bacteria. Within nodule cells, rhizobia differentiate into bacteroids, which fix nitrogen for the benefit of the plant. Depending on the combination of host plants and rhizobial strains, the output of rhizobium-legume interactions is varying from non-fixing associations to symbioses that are highly beneficial for the plant. Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110 was isolated as a soybean symbiont but it can also establish a functional symbiotic interaction with Aeschynomene afraspera. In contrast to soybean, A. afraspera triggers terminal bacteroid differentiation, a process involving bacterial cell elongation, polyploidy and membrane permeability leading to loss of bacterial viability while plants increase their symbiotic benefit. A combination of plant metabolomics, bacterial proteomics and transcriptomics along with cytological analyses was used to study the physiology of USDA110 bacteroids in these two host plants. We show that USDA110 establish a poorly efficient symbiosis with A. afraspera, despite the full activation of the bacterial symbiotic program. We found molecular signatures of high level of stress in A. afraspera bacteroids whereas those of terminal bacteroid differentiation were only partially activated. Finally, we show that in A. afraspera, USDA110 bacteroids undergo an atypical terminal differentiation hallmarked by the disconnection of the canonical features of this process. This study pinpoints how a rhizobium strain can adapt its physiology to a new host and cope with terminal differentiation when it did not co-evolve with such a host.

Transcriptome profiling for wild-type, single and double mutants for Nuclear Factor YA1 (nf-ya1) and hypernodulation phenotype (har1) mutants in roots of Lotus japonicus

Project description:Acting in a partially redundant manner, NF-Ys were shown previously to regulate bacterial infection, including selection of a superior rhizobial strain, and to participate in mediating nodule structure formation. However, the exact mechanism(s) by which these transcriptional factors exert their symbiotic functions has remained elusive. Gene expression profiling for wild-type and Nuclear Factor YA (nf-ya)-A mutants in roots of Lotus japonicus were conducted 4 days after inoculation with Mesorhizobium loti in order to understand the interaction of NF-Ys and other genes in Lotus japonicus.

Salt stress enhances early symbiotic gene expression in Medicago truncatula and induces a stress-specific set of rhizobium-responsive genes

Project description:Salt stress is a major agricultural concern inhibiting not only plant growth but also the symbiotic association between legume roots and the soil bacteria rhizobia. This symbiotic association is initiated by a molecular dialogue between the two partners, leading to the activation of a signaling cascade in the legume host and ultimately the formation of nitrogen-fixing root nodules. Here we show that a moderate salt stress increases the responsiveness of early symbiotic genes in Medicago truncatula to its symbiotic partner, Sinorhizobium meliloti, while conversely, inoculation with S. meliloti counteracts salt-regulated gene expression, restoring one-third to control levels. Our analysis of Early Nodulin 11 shows that salt-induced expression is dynamic, Nod-factor dependent, and requires the ionic, but not the osmotic, component of salt. We demonstrate that salt stimulation of rhizobium-induced gene expression requires NSP2, which functions as a node to integrate the abiotic and biotic signals. In addition, our work reveals that inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti succinoglycan mutants also hyperinduces ENOD11 expression in the presence or absence of salt, suggesting a possible link between rhizobial exopolysaccharide and the plant response to salt stress. Finally, we identify an accessory set of genes that are induced by rhizobium only under conditions of salt stress and have not been previously identified as being nodulation-related genes. Our data suggests that interplay of core nodulation genes with different accessory sets, specific for different abiotic conditions, function to establish the symbiosis. Together, our findings reveal a complex and dynamic interaction between plant, microbe, and environment.

Transcriptomic dissection of Bradyrhizobium sp. strain ORS285 in symbiosis with Aeschynomene spp. inducing different bacteroid morphotypes with contrasted symbiotic efficiency

Project description:To circumvent the paucity of nitrogen sources in the soil Legume plants evolved a symbiotic interaction with nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria called rhizobia. During symbiosis, legumes form root organs called nodules, where bacteria are housed intracellularly and become active nitrogen fixers known as bacteroids. Depending on their host plant, bacteroids can adopt different morphotypes, being either unmodified (U), elongated (E) or spherical (S). E- and S-typr bacteroids undergo a terminal differentiation leading to irreversible morphological changes and DNA endoreduplication. Previous studies suggest that differentiated bacteroids display an increased symbiotic efficiency (E>U & S>U). In this study, we used a combination of Aeschynomene species inducing E- and S-type bacteroids in symbiosis with Bradyrhizobium sp. ORS285 to show that S- performed better than E-type bacteroids. Thus, we performed a transcriptomic analysis on E- and S-type bacteroids to identify the bacterial functions involved in each bacteroid type.

The absence of quorum sensing signals triggers the expression of the symbiotic genes in broad host range rhizobia

Project description:Plant-released flavonoids induce the transcription of symbiotic genes in rhizobia and one of the first bacterial responses is the synthesis of so called Nod factors. They are responsible for the initial root hair curling during onset of root nodule development. This signal exchange is believed to be essential for initiating the plant symbiosis with rhizobia affiliated with the alphaproteobacteria. Here, we provide evidence that in broad host range rhizobia the complete lack of quorum sensing molecules results in an elevated copy number of its symbiotic plasmid (pNGR234a). This in turn triggers the expression of symbiotic genes and the production of Nod factors in the absence of plant signals. Therefore, increasing the copy number of specific plasmids could be a widespread mechanism of specialized bacterial populations bridging gaps in signalling cascades and providing a competitive advantage.

Transcriptomic adaptations to symbiotic life in cnidarians: symbiotic vs bleached Anemonia viridis sea anemones

Project description:Transcriptional comparison between symbiotic and non-symbiotic (bleached) sea anemones Anemonia viridis were analysed in several specimens. We generated an oligonucleotide microarray (2000 selected features), which is to date the only available oligonucleotide array for symbiotic cnidarians. We were able to identify a subset of genes clearly involved in symbiosis. Whole tentacle samples were prepared from 5 symbiotic and 5 bleached specimens. Hybridizations were performed against a single reference (VBl) in a dye-swap experiment.
