Photomorphogenesis of Myxococcocus macrosporus: New Insights for Light-Regulation of Cell Development

ABSTRACT: Myxobacteria are social bacteria distinguished among prokaryotes by a multicellular stage in their life cycle known as fruiting bodies formations, which is a response to nutrient deprivation. Additionally, fruiting body formation in Stigmatella aurantiaca is stimulated by light. Genome sequence of Myxococcus macrosporus, revealed the presence of a red-light photoreceptor, bacteriophytochrome (BphP), found in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic bacteria. BphPs belong to a large phytochrome family of photoreceptors originally discovered in plants, where they are directly linked to the circadian clock genes. BphPs have been implicated in carotenoid synthesis, motility, and photodynamic stress in non-photosynthetic bacteria. The role of the BphPs in M. macrosporus remains unknown although it has been linked to fruiting body formation in related S. aurantiaca. We have observed that M. macrosporus displays differential photomorphogenic behaviors under constant light, and 12:12 hour light/dark (LD) cycle as compared to constant dark (DD) conditions. We hypothesize that BphP plays a role in these behaviors. In this study we demonstrate light and nutrient dependent pattern of fruiting bodies development in Myxococcus macrosporus HW-1. Additionally, we characterized light induced differential gene expression with the special focus on the circadian clock, and carotenoid biosynthesis genes in M. macrosporus and M. xanthus.

RNA-seq analysis of Myxococcus xanthus at various developmental time points

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus is a model organism for studying social behaviors and cell differentiation in bacteria. Upon nutrient depletion, M. xanthus cells initiate a developmental program that culminates in formation of spore-filled fruiting bodies and peripheral rods outside of fruiting bodies. Completion of this developmental program depends on fine-tuned spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression, intercellular communication, signaling by nucleotide-based second messengers, and motility. In order to understand stage-specific gene expression during growth and development, we extracted total RNA from vegetative cells (referred as 0 h of development) and from cells developed for 6, 12, 18 and 24 h under submerged conditions in two replicates.

Cappable-seq analysis of Myxococcus xanthus at various developmental time points

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus is a model organism for studying social behaviors and cell differentiation in bacteria. Upon nutrient depletion, M. xanthus cells initiate a developmental program that culminates in formation of spore-filled fruiting bodies and peripheral rods outside of fruiting bodies. Completion of this developmental program depends on fine-tuned spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression, intercellular communication, signaling by nucleotide-based second messengers, and motility. In order to understand regulation of gene expression during growth and development, transcription start sites were identified using Cappable-seq. To this end, we extracted total RNA from vegetative cells (referred as 0 h of development) and from cells developed for 6, 12, 18 and 24 h under submerged conditions in two replicates.

Analysis of gene expression in the "clock rescue" and rpaA- "clock rescue" strains of Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 with RNA sequencing in light/dark conditions

Project description:The transcription factor RpaA is the master regulator of circadian transcription in cyanobacteria, driving genome-wide oscillations in mRNA abundance. Deletion of rpaA has no effect on viability in constant light conditions, but renders cells inviable in cycling conditions when light and dark periods alternate. We investigated the mechanisms underlying this viability defect. We performed RNA-seq experiment using the rpaA- “clock rescue” and “clock rescue” strains and we show that the rpaA- “clock rescue” strain is defective in transcription of genes crucial for utilization of carbohydrate stores at night.

Circadian clock controlled gene expression in soybean seeds

Project description:Microarray expression profiling was used to identify genes expressed in developing soybean (Glycine max) seeds that are controlled by the circadian clock. Plants with developing seeds were entrained to 12hour light: 12 hour dark cycles and sampled in constant light conditions. Soybean seeds entrained to 12 hour-light:12 hour dark photocycles were harvested after 24 hours of constant light and temperature conditions. Timepoint 24h represents subjective dawn. To minimize developmental variation, flowers were marked as they opened and seeds were harvested from marked pods after 5 weeks. There are two replicate samples at each time point, and each sample consists of 8 seeds collected from three diffferent plants.

Genome-wide profiling of diel and circadian gene expression of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

Project description:Anopheles gambiae, the primary African malarial mosquito, exhibits numerous behaviors that are under diel and circadian control, including locomotor activity, swarming, mating, host seeking, eclosion, egg laying and sugar feeding. However, little has been performed to elucidate the molecular basis for these daily rhythms. To study how gene expression is globally regulated by diel and circadian mechanisms, we have undertaken a DNA microarray analysis of A. gambiae head and bodies under 12:12 light:dark cycle (LD) and constant dark (DD, free-running) conditions. Zeitgeber Time (ZT) with ZT12 defined as time of lights OFF under the light:dark cycle, and ZT0 defined as end of the dawn transition. Circadian Time (CT) with CT0 defined as subjective dawn, inferred from ZT0 of the previous light:dark cycle.
