Transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis reveal the mechanism of phosphorus-induced lipid class remodeling in Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12

ABSTRACT: Phytoplankton lipids, such as microalgae lipids, are important compounds of increasing interest in bioenergy, food, pharmacy, aquaculture and ecology for their high molecular diversity. There is a taxonomically diverse lipid response under P stress with unresolved questions related to the diversified mechanism behind the lipid responses. A marine microalgae with high EPA content was isolated, named Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12. We reveal a mechanism of phosphorus-induced lipid class remodeling in Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12 based on highly corresponding transcriptome and lipidome data. Phosphorus- deprivation leads to the rapid reduction of phospholipids (PL) and synthesis of the betaine lipids (BL). Phosphorus-complement recovers the content of PL and BL to the original level. The changes are mediated mainly by a glycerophosphoryldiester phosphodiesterases on the transcriptome level. To adapt to low phospholipids, the transcription levels of gene encoding P transporter were upregulated. When Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12 was once again under phosphorus-complement, some of gene encoding P transporter continue to increase on the transcription levels. The novel phospholipid-remodeling scheme opens new avenues for metabolic engineering of lipid composition in algae.

Uncovering the mechanisms of phosphorus recycling and lipid class remodeling under P limitation by integration of transcriptomics and lipidomics data of Nannochloropsis oceanica.

Project description:In the present study the effect of phosphorus (P) limitation was investigated in the microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica. Algal cultures were analysed for transcriptomic and lipidomic changes during P-limited growth, with sample time points: 24h, 48h, 53h, 58h and 70h. The transcriptome data identified unique P acquiring genes and the results were also supported by corresponding changes in the lipidome dataset, which showed a lipid class shift from phospholipids to phosphorus-free lipids under P-limitation. During the exponential growth phase a gradual 6-fold reduction of the cellular P level induced RNA transcripts encoding proteins acquiring P from inorganic and organic sources. For this process 6 novel purple acid phosphatases and 5 unique Pi transporters were identified. Additionally, increased gene expression of 2 triose-phosphate transporters (TPTs) indicated the importance of the carbon-to-phosphorus balance for the plastidial anabolic processes. Phospholipid degradation was shown to be an early response to P limitation, by overexpression of sets of 2 novel glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterases (GDPDs), and 3 patatin-like phospholipases of type A. To compensate for phospholipid degradation, the transcriptome and lipidome level showed increased synthesis of sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG), and diacylglyceroltrimethylhomoserine (DGTS). Phosphorus limitation triggered the lipid class shift in both the exponential growth phase and the triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation period to release P and increase the organic C:P ratio.

Transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis of an EPA-containing Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12 in response to nitrogen deprivation

Project description:Oleaginous microalgae Nannochloropsis spp. are considered to be promissing species for production of biofuels and biomaterials. Nevertheless, its biofuel production remains to be economically unviable. Hence, further improvement of cultivation conditions and genetic traits for high-lipid contents without affecting growth is required. To understand genes involved in neutral lipid accumulation upon nitrogen deprivation (ND) in a novel isolate of Nannochloropsis sp. PJ12, we performed comparative transcriptomic and lipidomic analyses of cells under ND and NR (nitrogen replete) conditions. Transcriptomic profiling indicated that, while enzymes involved in TCA cycle in PJ12 under ND condition were upregulated compared to that under NR condition, those involved in Calvin cycle and glycolysis under ND condition were downregulated, consistent with the observation that quantum yield was reduced under ND condition. Furthermore, we showed that enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis and glycerolipid synthesis were downregulated but not b-oxidation. Lipidomic profiling indicated that, while the level of neutral lipids in ND cells was increased compared to that of NR cells, level of photosynthetic membrane-lipids DGDG and MGDG was decreased. Taken together, our analysis indicated that TAG accumulation is attributed to the modification of membrane lipids derived primarily from “prokaryotic” pathway and secondarily from “eukaryotic” pathway based on the 16:X or 18:X fatty acid at the sn2 position of the glycerol backbone. We propose that two-phase (NR-ND) growth is ideal for biomass and biofuel production because ND reduces cell growth rate due to the loss of photosynthetic membrane and decreased quantum yield.

Integration of epigenome and lactylome reveals the regulation of lipid production in Nannochloropsis oceanica

Project description:Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a kind of novel post-translational modification (PTM), which participates in gene expression and various metabolic processes. Nannochloropsis, a significant oleaginous microalgae of economic significance, demonstrates a remarkable capacity for triacylglycerol (TAG) production under nitrogen stress. To elucidate the involvement of lactylation in lipid synthesis, we conducted ChIP-seq and mRNA-seq analyses to monitor lactylation modifications and transcriptome alterations in Nannochloropsis oceanica. In all, 2,057 genes showed considerable variation between nitrogen deprivation (ND) and nitrogen repletion (NR) conditions, comprising 853 upregulated genes and 1,204 downregulated genes. Moreover, a total of 5,375 differential Kla peaks were identified, including 5,331 gain peaks and 44 loss peaks under ND vs NR. The differential Kla peaks were primarily distributed in the promoter (<= 1 kb) (71.07%), 5’UTR (22.64%), and exon (4.25%). Integrative analysis of ChIP-seq, transcriptome, and previous proteome and lactylome data elucidates the potential mechanism by which lactylation promotes lipid accumulation under ND. Lactylation facilitates autophagy and protein degradation, leading to the recycling of carbon into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, thereby providing carbon precursors for lipid synthesis. Additionally, lactylation induces the redirection of carbon from membrane lipids to TAG by upregulating lipases and enhancing the TCA cycle and β-oxidation pathways. This research reveals the regulatory functions of lactylation in lipid metabolism and gene expression in Nannochloropsis, offering a new perspective for the investigation of lipid biosynthesis.

Transcriptomic measurements of Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP1779 through a light:dark cycle

Project description:Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP1779 is a marine unicellular stramenopile and an emerging reference species for basic research on oleogenic microalgae with biotechnological relevance. We investigated its physiology and transcriptome under light/dark cycles. We observed oscillations in lipid content and a predominance of cell division in the first half of the dark phase. Globally, more than 60% of the genes cycled in N. oceanica CCMP1779, with gene expression peaking at different times of the day. Interestingly, the phase of expression of genes involved in certain biological processes was conserved across photosynthetic lineages. Furthermore, in agreement with our physiological studies we found the processes of lipid metabolism and cell division enriched in cycling genes. For example, there was tight coordination of genes involved in the lower part of glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis and lipid production at dawn preceding lipid accumulation during the day. Our results suggest that diel lipid storage plays a key role for N. oceanica CCMP1779 growth under natural conditions making this alga a promising model to gain a basic mechanistic understanding of triacylglycerol production in photosynthetic cells. Our data will help the formulation of new hypotheses on the regulation transcriptional control of cell growth and metabolism in Nannochloropsis. Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP was entrained to 12:12 light:dark cycles and biological replicates collected every 3 hours for a cycle for a total of 16 samples.

Project description:Like many microalgae unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii also accumulates energy rich storage lipid and starch under nutrient-limited conditions, such as phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) limitation. To dissect the transcriptional regulation of lipid and starch biosynthesis in response to nutrient limitation, we have characterized the biological role of a candidate regulator: the MYB family transcription factor, PSR1 (phosphorus starvation response 1). Genetically modified (psr1 compromised) and wild-type lines were grown under P limiting and sufficient conditions and assayed at two time points by SOLiD RNA-seq.

Different lipid forms of omega-3 and their effect on small intestine in mice

Project description:Omega - 3 fatty acids of marine origin exert beneficial effects on lipid metabolism and can protect against insulin resistance in high fat diet (HFD)-fed animals. Simultaneously, recent studies showed that different lipid forms could have numerous consequences regarding the regulation of energy balance, nutrient absorption, and substrate metabolism. Indeed, when omega-3 was provided as triglycerides (TG, i.e. fish oil), it induced dose-dependently the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism as well as fatty acid oxidation in small intestine of C57BL/6 mice fed various HFDs. As the underlying mechanism(s) explaining the differences in EPA/DHA bioavailability among various lipid forms of Omega-3 is not entirely clear, we performed a mouse study (n=8 per group) using purified HFDs with control HFD based on corn oil (cHF) and part of the lipids were replaced by omega-3 fish lipids in different forms: as either TG (cHF-F), marine phospholipids (PL; Krill oil, given at two different doses Krill-low (Krill-L) and Krill-high (Krill-H)), and as wax esters in the extract from the zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus (Calanus oil CAL-L representing same omega-3 levels as Krill-L diet). As a healthy control we fed a subset of mice standard chow (STD). All mice were fed their diet for 8 weeks and after sacrifice, whole small intestine was isolated, frozen and used for RNA isolation and microarray gene expression analysis using 8x60K Agilent arrays. Results showed that PL-H versus control cHFc induced specifically metabolic lipid pathways, while TG and PL-L mainly affected cytoskeleton regulation.

Project description:Nannochloropsis gaditana is a microalgae of the phylum eustigmatophyceae that has been reported from fresh and brackish waters. This species has been widely cultured, mainly directed to biofuel production, due to its capacity to produce and accumulates high amounts of lipids under different culturing conditions. Furthermore, nowadays N. gaditana is being used as fish and mollusc food in aquaculture facilities. Besides, microalgae are recognized protein producers, thus, are posited as an alternative protein source that could be very valuable in areas such as agri-food or biomedicine. In this sense, seas and oceans had showed their great potential for innovation, being the main focus of the initiative Blue Growth from EU. Thereby, marine biotechnology will provide of new pharmaceuticals or industrial products from marine biomass. In order to study the whole proteome of Nannochloropsis gaditana, a proteomic approach was initiated using fresh and atomized microalgae samples, as the main commercial forms. Around 7500 peptides were detected, getting 1950 protein identification hits. Qualitative and quantitative differences were analysed. The identified proteins were categorized according to gene ontology classification. In this study, it has been developed and described the first proteomic analysis of the microalgae Nannochloropsis gaditana, containing an important number of identified proteins that may have a relevant role in different agri-food and biomedical processes.

High-throughput insertional mutagenesis reveals novel targets for enhancing lipid accumulation in Nannochloropsis oceanica

Project description:Oleaginous microalgae are considered a promising platform for the sustainable production of high-value lipids and biofuel feedstocks. However, current lipid yields are too low to allow for an economically feasible production process. Lipid yields could be enhanced by improving microalgal strains through genetic engineering. Strain improvement strategies for the industrially relevant genus Nannochloropsis have met limited success because most genes of this genus lack a functional annotation, hindering our understanding of lipid metabolism and its regulation. To gain fundamental insights and to provide targets for genetic engineering of lipid metabolism, the aim of this study was to discover novel genes that are associated with higher neutral lipid (NL) content in Nannochloropsis oceanica. Therefore, we constructed a random gene knockout (KO) insertional mutagenesis library of N. oceanica, and we screened it by five rounds of fluorescence-activated cell sorting to select high lipid mutant (HLM) strains. Several strains showed increased NL contents compared to the wild type under favorable growth conditions. By using an adapted cassette PCR strategy involving the type IIS restriction endonuclease MmeI, we traced the responsible genetic KO of the five most promising mutant strains. One particularly promising mutant strain (HLM23) was disrupted in gene NO06G03670, which encodes a putative APETALA2-like transcription factor. HLM23 was not affected in growth rate, had increase d photosynthetic performance and a NL content of 30% dry cell weight^(-1), a 40% increase compared to the wild type. RNA sequencing revealed a transcriptional upregulation of genes related to plastidial fatty acid biosynthesis, glycolysis and the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle in this mutant.

An integrated analysis of phosphorus starvation responses in the diatom Pheaodactylum tricornutum

Project description:48 h and 72 h after P, transcriptional profiles of P-depleted (-P) and P-replete (+P) cultures depletion were integrated with metabolite and physiological data. It resulted in identification of essential metabolic pathway remodeled under P deficiency. The most significant inductions were related to proteins involved in phosphate acquisition and scavenging, such as phosphate transporters, alkaline phosphatases and nucleotidases. P-depleted cells also showed photosynthesis, nitrogen assimilation, and nucleic acid and ribosome biosynthesis. Repression of the Calvin cycle along with induction of cytosolic glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway led to carbon reallocation. Furthermore, we observed changes in the lipid composition of P-depleted cultures through degradation of phospholipids and induction of biosynthetic pathways of non-phosphorus containing lipids.
