Identification of a c-type heme oxygenase and its function during acclimation of cyanobacteria to nitrogen fluctuations

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms of acclimating to a nitrogen-fluctuating environment are necessary for the survival of aquatic cyanobacteria in their natural habitats, but our understanding is still far from complete. Here, the synthesis of phycobiliprotein is confirmed to be much earlier than that of photosystem components during recovery from nitrogen chlorosis and an unknown protein Ssr1698 is discovered to be involved in this synthetic process. The unknown protein is further identified as a c-type heme oxygenase (cHO) in tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the opening of heme ring to form biliverdin IXα, which is required for phycobilin production and ensuing phycobiliprotein synthesis. In addition, the cHO-dependent phycobiliprotein is found to be vital for the growth of cyanobacterial cells during chlorosis and regreening through its nitrogen-storage and light-harvesting functions, respectively. Collectively, the cHO expressed preferentially during recovery from nitrogen chlorosis is identified in photosynthetic organisms and the dual function of this enzyme-dependent phycobiliprotein is proposed to be an important mechanism for acclimation of aquatic cyanobacteria to a nitrogen-fluctuating environment.

Chlorosis as developmental program in cyanobacteria: The proteomic fundament for surviving and awakening

Project description:Cyanobacteria that do not fix nitrogen adapt to prolonged periods of nitrogen deprivation in a chlorotic state where cell growth and metabolism is arrested. Upon nutrient availability, the cells return back to vegetative growth within 2-3 days. This resuscitation process is highly orchestrated and relies on the stepwise re-installation and activation of essential cellular structures and functions. We investigate transition into chlorosis and return to vegetative life as a simple model of a cellular developmental process that represents a fundamental survival strategy in biology. In the present study, we describe the process through quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis of long-term nitrogen-starved Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells during different time points of resuscitation. Intriguingly, substantial O phosphorylation of proteins involved in photosynthesis was detected in the chlorotic state, including hyperphosphorylation of the remaining phycobiliproteins. We provide evidence that hyperphosphorylation of the terminal rod linker CpcD increases the lifespan of phycobiliproteins during chlorosis.

Differentially forms of nitrogen regulates the response of Microcystis aeruginosa to nanoplastics under environmentally relevant nitrogen concentration

Project description:As an essential primary producer, cyanobacteria play an important role in the global cycle for both carbon and nitrogen in the ecosystems. Though the influence of nanoplastics on the carbon metabolism of cyanobacteria, especial Microcystis aeruginosa, a dominant species causing cyanobacterial blooms, is well studied, little is known about nanoplastics affecting the nitrogen metabolism.

Awaking from dormancy: Resuscitation of chlorotic Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells reveals a highly orchestrated process

Project description:Unicellular cyanobacteria that do not fix nitrogen can survive prolonged periods of nitrogen starvation as bleached cells in a non-growing, dormant state. Upon re-addition of a usable nitrogen source, bleached cultures re-green within 48 hours and the cells return to vegetative growth. Here we investigated the process of resuscitation at the physiological and molecular level. Almost immediately upon nitrate addition, the cells initiate an amazingly organized resuscitation program: they first turn on respiration, gaining energy and activating the genes of the entire translational apparatus, genes for ATP synthesis and nitrate assimilation. Only after about 12 hours, the cells rebuild the photosynthetic apparatus and switch on photosynthesis. Analysis of the transcriptome in recovering cells shows a perfect match to the physiological processes and reveals a paramount dynamics of non-coding RNAs in awaking cells. This genetically encoded program ensures rapid colonization of habitats, in which nitrogen starvation imposes a recurring growth limitation. Synechocstis PCC 6803 WT cells were subjected to nitrogen limitation for 14d, then nitrogen was re-added to monitor recovery of the cells. Samples were taken before nitrogen depletion, after 14d of nitrogen depletion and 4h, 13h, 24h and 48h after nitrogen re-addition. Samples were taken in biological replicates for all timepoints besides 48h nitrogen recovery.

Gene co-expression networks drive and predict reproductive effects in Daphnia in response to environmental disturbances

Project description:ncreasing effects of anthropogenic stressors and those of natural origin on aquatic ecosystems have intensified the need for predictive and functional models of their effects. Here, we use gene expression patterns in combination with weighted gene co-expression networks and generalized additive models to predict effects on reproduction in the aquatic microcrustacean Daphnia. We developed models to predict effects on reproduction upon exposure to different cyanobacteria, different insecticides and binary mixtures of cyanobacteria and insecticides. Models developed specifically for groups of stressors (e.g. either cyanobacteria or insecticides) performed better than general models developed on all data. Furthermore, models developed using in silico generated mixture gene expression profiles from single stressor data were able to better predict effects on reproduction compared to models derived from the mixture exposures themselves. Our results highlight the potential of gene expression data to quantify effects of complex exposures at higher level organismal effects without prior mechanistic knowledge or complex exposure data.

The impact of the carbon-regulation protein SbtB on CO2-dependent gene expression in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [dacA]

Project description:Gene expression changes were followed in cultures of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 three and 24 hours after shift from high carbon (HC) to low carbon (LC) concentrations. The acclimation to fluctuating inorganic carbon (Ci) concentrations is crucial for photoautotrophic organisms living in aquatic environments such as cyanobacteria. The PII-like regulator protein SbtB binds the second messengers cAMP or c-diAMP and is involved in the acclimation to LC. Here, we investigated the impact of SbtB and of second messengers on gene expression changes during this acclimation response. We analyzed cultures of the wild type (WT), the ΔsbtB mutant lacking the PII-like regulator protein SbtB, the ΔcyaI mutant, lacking the main soluble adenylate cyclase for cAMP production and ΔdacA, lacking the diadenylate cyclase for c-diAMP production. The majority of LC-induced genes behaved in these mutants like in wild type. However, a defined subset of LC-regulated genes in WT was found to be changed in mutant ΔsbtB already under high CO2. Collectively, the results indicate that SbtB regulates a particular subset of genes during the LC acclimation response.

Phosphorus-Ca2+ signalling in marine diatoms

Project description:Phosphorus is a critical nutrient controlling phytoplankton growth. Availability of this limiting factor can vary significantly in space and time, particularly in dynamic aquatic ecosystems. Diatoms are important eukaryotic phytoplankton that thrive in regions of pulsed phosphate supply, yet little is known of the sensory mechanisms enabling them to detect and rapidly respond to phosphorus availability. Here we show that phosphorus-starved diatoms utilise a novel Ca2+-dependent signalling pathway to sense and regulate cellular recovery following phosphorus resupply. This pathway, which has not previously been described in eukaryotes, is sensitive to sub-micromolar concentrations of phosphate, alongside a range of environmentally relevant phosphorus forms. Using comparative proteomics, we have characterised early adaptations governing diatom cellular recovery from phosphorus limitation. Strikingly, the dominant response was substantial enhancement of nitrogen assimilation proteins. This led to 12-fold increases in absolute nitrate uptake rates, relative to phosphorus-starved cells. Moreover, we find that the novel phosphorus-Ca2+ signalling pathway controls this primary recovery response. Our findings highlight that fundamental cross-talk between the essential nutrients phosphorus and nitrogen drive diatom recovery from phosphorus limitation. Moreover, a novel Ca2+-dependent phosphorus signalling pathway governs such ecological acclimation responses, and is thus likely critical to the success of diatoms in regions of episodic nutrient supply.

The heme regulatory motifs of heme oxygenase-2 function to transfer heme to the catalytic site for degradation

Project description:Heme regulatory motifs (HRMs) are found in a variety of proteins that are involved in diverse biological functions. In the C-terminal tail region of human heme oxygenase-2 (HO2), there are two HRMs whose cysteines form a disulfide bond; when reduced, these cysteines are available to bind Fe3+-heme. Heme binding to the HRMs is independent of the HO2 catalytic active site in the core of the protein, where heme binds with high affinity and is degraded to biliverdin. Here, we describe the reversible, protein-mediated transfer of heme between the HRMs and the core of HO2. Using HDX-MS to monitor the dynamics of HO2 with and without Fe3+-heme bound to the HRMs and to the core, we detected conformational changes in the catalytic core only in one state of the catalytic cycle – when Fe3+-heme is bound to the HRMs and the core is in the apo state. The conformational changes detected are consistent with transfer of heme between binding sites. Indeed, Fe3+-heme bound to the HRMs is transferred to the apo-core upon either independently expressing the core and a construct spanning the HRM-containing tail or after single turnover of heme at the core. In addition, we observed transfer of heme from the core to the HRMs and equilibration of heme between the core and HRMs. We thus propose a Fe3+-heme transfer model in which heme bound to the HRMs is readily transferred to the catalytic site for degradation to facilitate turnover but can also equilibrate between the sites to maintain heme homeostasis.

Recombinant Production of Biliverdin IXβ and δ Isomers in the T7 Promoter Compatible Escherichia coli Nissle

Project description:The ability to obtain purified biliverdin IX (BVIX) isomers other than the commercially available BVIXα is limited due to the low yields obtained by the chemical coupled oxidation of heme. Chemical oxidation requires toxic chemicals, has very poor BVIX yields (<0.05%), and is not conducive to scalable production. Alternative approaches utilizing recombinant E. coli BL21 expressing a cyanobacterial heme oxygenase have been employed for the production BVIXα, but yields are limited by the rate of endogenous heme biosynthesis. Furthermore, the emerging roles of BVIXβ and BVIXδ in biology and their lack of commercial availability has led to a need for an efficient and scalable method with the flexibility to produce all three physiologically relevant BVIX isomers. Herein, we have taken advantage of an optimized non-pathogenic E. coli Nissle (EcN(T7)) strain that encodes an endogenous heme transporter and an integrated T7 polymerase gene. Protein production of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa BVIXβ and BVIXδ selective heme oxygenase (HemO) or its BVIXα producing mutant (HemOa) in the EcN(T7) strain provides a scalable method to obtain all three isomers, that is not limited by the rate of endogenous heme biosynthesis, due to the natural ability of EcN(T7) to transport extracellular heme. Additionally, we have optimized our previous LC-MS/MS protocol for semi-preparative separation and validation of the BVIX isomers. Utilizing this new methodology for scalable production and separation we have increased the yields of the BVIXβ and -δ isomers >300-fold when compared to the chemical oxidation of heme.
