In-nodule transcriptome analysis of Paraburkholderia phymatum during symbiosis with Phaseolus vulgaris

ABSTRACT: Paraburkholderia phymatum belongs to the β-subclass of proteobacteria. It has recently been shown to be able to nodulate and fix nitrogen in symbiosis with several mimosoid and papillionoid legumes. In contrast to symbiosis of legumes with α-proteobacteria, very little is known about the molecular determinants underlying the successful establishment of this mutualistic relationship with β-proteobacteria. In this study, we analyzed RNA-seq data of free-living P. phymatum growing under nitrogen replete and limited conditions, the latter partially mimicking the situation in nitrogen deprived soils. Among the genes up-regulated under nitrogen limitation, we found genes involved in exopolysaccharide production and motility, two traits relevant for plant root infection. Next, RNA-seq data of P. phymatum grown under free-living conditions and from symbiotic root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) were generated and compared. Among the genes highly up-regulated during symbiosis, we identified an operon encoding a potential cytochrome o ubiquinol oxidase (Bphy_3646-49). Bean root nodules induced by a cyoB mutant strain showed reduced nitrogenase and nitrogen fixation abilities suggesting an important role of the cytochrome for respiration inside the nodule. Analysis of mutant strains for RNA polymerase transcription factor rpoN (σ54) and its activator NifA indicated that – similar to the situation in α-rhizobia – P. phymatum RpoN and NifA are key regulators during symbiosis with P. vulgaris.

Characterization of the NifA-RpoN Regulon in Rhizobium etli CFN42 in symbiosis using whole genome transcript analysis

Project description:The NifA-RpoN complex is a master regulator of the nitrogen fixation genes in alpha-proteobacteria. Based on the complete Rhizobium etli genome sequence, we constructed the R. etli CFN42 oligonucleotide (70 mer) microarray, and utilized this tool to survey changes in gene expression in R. etli CFN42 wild type compared with NifA CFNX247 mutant strain in symbiosis with Phaseolus vulgaris. As expected, the genes associated with a NifA and RpoN binding sites were downregulated in the NifA mutant strain.

Metabolomics and Dual RNA-Sequencing on Root Nodules Revealed New Cellular Functions Controlled by Paraburkholderia phymatum NifA

Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum STM815 is a nitrogen-fixing endosymbiont that forms root nodules on the agriculturally important Phaseolus vulgaris and other host plants. We previously showed that the nodules induced by a STM815 mutant of the gene encoding the master regulator of nitrogen fixation NifA showed no nitrogenase activity (Fix-) and increased in number compared to P. vul-garis plants infected with the wild-type strain. To further investigate the role of NifA during symbiosis, nodules from P. phymatum wild-type and nifA mutants were collected and analyzed by metabolomics and dual RNA-Sequencing, allowing us to investigate both host and symbiont transcriptome. Using this approach, several metabolites changes could be assigned to bacterial or plant responses. While the amount of the C4-dicarboxylic acid succinate and of several amino acids was lower in Fix- nodules, the level of indole-acetamide (IAM) and brassinosteroids increased in Fix- nodules. Transcriptome analysis identified P. phymatum genes involved in transport of C4-dicarboxylic acids, carbon metabolism, auxin metabolism and stress response to be differen-tially expressed in absence of NifA. Furthermore, P. vulgaris genes involved in autoregulation of nodulation (AON) are repressed in nodules in absence of NifA potentially explaining the hyper-nodulation phenotype of the nifA mutant. These results and additional validation experiments suggest that P. phymatum STM815 NifA is not only important to control expression of nitrogenase and related enzymes but is also involved in regulating its own auxin production and stress re-sponse. Finally, our data indicate that P. vulgaris does sanction the nifA nodules by depleting the local carbon allocation rather than by mounting a strong systemic immune response to the Fix- rhizobia.

Metabolomics and transcriptomics identify multiple downstream targets of Paraburkholderia phymatum σ54 during symbiosis with Phaseolus vulgaris

Project description:RpoN (σ54) is the key sigma factor for the regulation of transcription of nitrogen fixation genes in diazotrophic bacteria, which include alpha- and beta-rhizobia. Our previous studies showed that a rpoN mutant of the beta-rhizobial strain Paraburkholderia phymatum formed root nodules on Phaseolus vulgaris that were unable to reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. In an effort to further characterize the RpoN regulon of P. phymatum, transcriptomics was combined with a powerful metabolomics approach. The metabolome of P. vulgaris root nodules infected by the P. phymatum rpoN Fix- mutant revealed statistically significant metabolic changes compared to wild-type Fix+ nodules, including reduced amounts of chorismate and elevated levels of flavonoids. A transcriptome analysis on Fix+ and Fix- nodules – combined with a search for RpoN binding sequences in promoter regions of regulated genes – confirmed the expected control of σ54 on nitrogen fixation genes in nodules. The transcriptomic data also identified additional target genes, whose differential expression was able to explain the observed metabolite changes in a numerous cases. Moreover, the genes encoding the two-component regulatory system NtrBC were downregulated in root nodules induced by the rpoN mutant and contained a putative RpoN binding motif in their promoter region, suggesting direct regulation. The construction and characterization of an ntrB mutant strain revealed impaired nitrogen assimilation in free-living conditions, as well as a noticeable symbiotic phenotype by forming less but heavier nodules on P. vulgaris roots.

Paraburkholderia phymatum σ54 controls utilization of dicarboxylates, motility and interbacterial competition

Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum is a beta-proteobacterium, which lives in the soil and is able to enter nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with different legumes. The biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) process is of great ecological and agronomic importance. We previously showed that the expression of the key P. phymatum BNF enzyme – the nitrogenase –is regulated by the sigma factor σ54 (or RpoN) inside root nodules. This study focused on identifying the σ54 regulon of P. phymatum grown in nitrogen limited conditions using RNA-Sequencing. Among the genes significantly down-regulated in absence of σ54 we found those coding for a C4-dicarboxylate transport system (Bphy_0225-27), a flagellar biosynthesis cluster (Bphy_2926-64) and one of the two type 6 secretion system (T6SS-b) present in P. phymatum genome (Bphy_5978-97). Indeed, the σ54 mutant was unable to grow on C4 dicarboxylates (fumarate, malate and succinate) as the sole carbon source and was less motile compared to the wild-type strain. Both defects were complemented by adding rpoN in trans. Additionally, using reporter fusions we confirmed that T6SS-b expression is regulated by σ54. Finally, a σ54 mutant was less competitive than its parental strain against P. diazotrophica, suggesting a role of σ54 in controlling interbacterial competition.

Molecular bases of strain-specific responses of Phaseolus vulgaris roots to symbiotic bacteria with different efficiency in nitrogen-fixing symbiosis

Project description:Some legume plants can establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with rhizobia. Compatibilty between rhizobia and legumes is determined at species-specific level, but there are variations on the efficiency of the process determined by the capacity of the plant to select specific strains that are better partners in terms of the biological outcome. In this work we used a model system based in the coevolution of two genetic pools of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) with strains of R. etli that establish a more efficient interaction to study the transcriptional changes occurring in roots at an early time of the interaction.

Persulfidation of plant and bacteroid proteins is involved in legume nodule development and senescence

Project description:Legumes establish symbiosis with soil rhizobia forming root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen. The central role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in nodule biology has been clearly established. Recently, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other reactive sulfur species (RSS) have emerged as novel signaling molecules in animals and plants. A major mechanism by which ROS, RNS, and RSS fulfil their signaling role is the post-translational modification of proteins. To identify possible functions of H2S in nodule development and senescence, we used the tag-switch method to analyze quantitative changes in the persulfidation profile of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) nodules at different developmental stages. The proteomic analysis suggests that persulfidation plays a major regulatory role in plant and bacteroid metabolism and senescence. In addition, the effect of a H2S donor on several proteins involved in ROS and RNS homeostasis was investigated. The results obtained using nodule extracts and recombinant proteins suggest a crosstalk between H2S, ROS, and RNS, and a protective function of persulfidation on redox-sensitive enzymes from oxidative modifications that may cause enzyme inactivation. It is concluded that the general decrease of persulfidation levels observed in plant proteins of aging nodules is one of the mechanisms that cause the disruption of redox homeostasis leading to senescence.

Transcriptional analysis of oxidative-stressed bean nodules elicited by Rhizobium etli expressing an heterologous globin (VHb)

Project description:A wide range of environmental stresses lead to an elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells thus resulting in oxidative stress. The biological nitrogen fixation in the legume - Rhizobium symbiosis is at high risk of damage from oxidative stress. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) active nodules exposed to the herbicide Paraquat (1,1 '-Dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridinium dichloride hydrate) that generates ROS accumulation, showed a reduced nitrogenase activity and ureide content. We analyzed the global gene response of stressed nodules using the Bean CombiMatrix Custom Array 90K, that includes probes from some 30,000 expressed sequence tags (EST). The experimental design, based on circular hybridizations, included four conditions as, with two independent biological replicates and three technical replicates for each conditions. A total of 2418 differentially expressed genes (DEG) were identified among the different combinations. Our results showed good correspondence among both the GO term and the MapMan enrichment analyses highlighting DEG from PQ-treated nodules assigned to the functional super-categories: trans-membrane transport, hormone signal transduction, stress response, and regulation. In this work we analyzed the effect of VHb-expressing R. etli CE3 in the symbiosis of common bean plants under oxidative stress experimentally generated by the addition of PQ for 48 hours. We analyzed the transcript profile, via microarray hybridization, using the Bean CombiMatrix Custom Array 90K, that includes probes from some 30,000 expressed sequence tags (EST).

Transcription profiling of soybean nodulation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Project description:Legumes interact with nodulating bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia for plant use. This nitrogen fixation takes place within root nodules that form after infection of root hairs by compatible rhizobia. Using cDNA microarrays, we monitored gene expression in soybean (Glycine max) inoculated with the nodulating bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum 4, 8, and 16 days after inoculation (dai), time points that coincided with nodule development and the onset of nitrogen fixation. This experiment identified several thousand genes that were differentially expressed in response to B. japonicum inoculation. Expression of 27 genes was analyzed by qRT-PCR and their expression patterns mimicked the microarray results confirming integrity of analyses. The microarray results suggest that B. japonicum reduces plant defense responses during nodule development. In addition, the data revealed a high level of regulatory complexity (transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, post-translational) that is likely essential for development of the symbiosis and adjustment to an altered nutritional status. Keywords = symbiosis Keywords = nodulation Keywords = rhizobium Keywords = defense Keywords = ANOVA Keywords = plant loop design, 7 samples, 7 comparison, 2 technical repeats including dye swaps, 4 biological repeats
