Genome-wide profiling of responses to cadmium in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

ABSTRACT: The only group of organisms in which a biological function for cadmium has been shown is the diatoms, which are unicellular phytoplankton. Yet diatoms exhibit similar sensitivity to Cd as other groups of phytoplankton. We have investigated responses of Cd on molecular, metabolic and physiological levels in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. P. tricornutum apparently has a high tolerance to Cd; only minor responses were observed on growth, pigment and transcriptional changes at cadmium concentrations of 123 µg/l. No significant changes in chlorophyll and xanthophyll levels were observed, and the very few transcripts affected strongly indicate that the cells were able to respond to the increased Cd2+ levels without changing proteins levels. At 10 times this concentration, 1230 µg/l, a much clearer response was observed, including transcripts encoding proteins involved in metal transport, cell signalling and detoxification processes. Our results point towards putative pathways for the removal or detoxification of Cd and its metabolites, as well as a possible Cd uptake mechanism. We predict that ATPase5-1B is involved in removal of Cd by pumping Cd2+ ions out of the cell, whereas VIT1/CCC1 sequesters Cd2+ in the vacuole.

We predict that ATPase5-1B is involved in removal of Cd by pumping Cd2+ ions out of the cell, whereas VIT1/CCC1 sequesters Cd2+ in the vacuole. Cultures of Phaeodactylum tricornutum were treated with two concentrations of Cd2+, 123 µg/l and 1230 µg/l. The reference samples were grown in artificial seawater base AK modified with added f/2-medium nutrients. Three biological replicates were harvested for all samples.

Transcriptional response of the marine pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to Fe limitation

Project description:Diatoms, which are responsible for up to 40% of the 45 to 50 billion metric tons of organic carbon production each year in the sea, are particularly sensitive to Fe stress. Here we describe the transcriptional response of the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to Fe limitation using a partial genome microarray based on EST and genome sequence data. Processes carried out by components rich in Fe, such as photosynthesis, mitochondrial electron transport and nitrate assimilation are down-regulated to cope with the reduced cellular iron quota. This retrenchment is compensated by nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) reallocation from protein and storage carbohydrate degradation, adaptations to chlorophyll biosynthesis and pigment metabolism, removal of excess electron s by mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX), augmented Fe-independent oxidative stress responses, and sensitized iron capture mechanisms. Keywords: Marine phytoplankton, pinnate diatom Wild-type Phaeodactylum tricornutum was grown under Fe replete (10,000 nM) and Fe limiting (5nM) conditions. Partial genome gene expression analysis of iron-inducible genes was conducted using a two-color competitive hybridization microarray.

Global transcriptome responses of a marine diatom to phosphate fluctuations provides insights into its ecological success

Project description:Phosphate (Pi) is an essential element to all living cells yet fluctuations in Pi concentrations are recurrent in the marine environment. Diatoms are amongst the most successful phytoplankton clade living in the worldâs oceans adapting to and surviving long periods of sub-optimal conditions and resuming growth as soon as nutrient concentrations permit. The knowledge of the molecular underpinnings of diatom ecological success is, however, still very incomplete. Using high-throughput RNA sequencing we have identified the dynamics of the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum global transcriptome in response to Pi fluctuations. We report genes encoding previously unidentified putative Pi transporters that, together with the alkaline phosphatases genes highly expressed under Pi depletion, are probably accountable for a very efficient Pi scavenging system. Our data also reveal the complexity of the P. tricornutum responsive sensory and signaling system that combines bacterial two-component systems with more complex pathways reminiscent of metazoans. This intricate set of membrane receptors and signal-transduction related proteins is likely responsible for the detection of environmental nutrient fluctuations, triggering a multitude of signaling cascades leading to gene regulatory events that define new adaptive physiological states. This together with the novel detection of a multitude of long non-coding intergenic RNAs specifically expressed under Pi stress, begins to provide insights into the complex molecular regulatory program involved in the resilience and ecological success of diatoms. Examination of Pi-responsive transcriptoms in diatoms.

Oryza sativa Transcriptome or Gene expression

Project description:In this study, we used RNA-Seq to understand the mechanisms of Cd toxicity, cellular detoxification and protection pathways in response to Cd in rice roots. To gain additional insight into the rice transcriptomic response to environmental Cd stress, 15-day-old rice seedlings were treated with 10 or 100 Î¼M solutions of Cd2+, or without Cd (control), for 24 h, at which point root samples were harvested and labeled as Cd+, Cd++, and control, respectively. These samples were used for 101 bp paired-end (PE) deep sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

An integrative analysis of post-translational histone modifications in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Project description:Nucleosomes are the building blocks of chromatin where gene regulation takes place. Chromatin landscapes have been profiled for several species, providing insights into the understanding of fundamental mechanisms of chromatin-mediated transcriptional regulation of gene expression. However, knowledge is missing from several major and deep-branching eukaryotic groups, such as the marine model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Diatoms are highly diverse and ubiquitous species of phytoplankton that play a key role in global biogeochemical cycles. Dissecting chromatin-mediated regulation of genes in diatoms will help understand the ecological success of these organisms in contemporary oceans. Here, we use high resolution mass spectrometry to identify a full repertoire of post-translational modifications on P. tricornutum histones, including eight novel modifications. We map five histone marks coupled with expression data and show that P. tricornutum displays both unique and broadly conserved chromatin features, reflecting the chimeric nature of its genome. Combinatorial analysis of histone marks and DNA methylation demonstrates the presence of an epigenetic code defining active or repressive chromatin states. We further profile three specific histone marks under conditions of nitrate depletion and show that the histone code is dynamic and targets specific sets of genes. This study is the first genome-wide characterization of the histone code from a Stramenopile and a marine phytoplankton. The work represents an important initial step for understanding the evolutionary history of chromatin and how epigenetic modifications affect gene expression in response to environmental cues in marine environments.

Toxicity and mechanisms of atrazine to the photosynthetic physiology and central carbon metabolism of Phaeodactylum tricornutum, at environmental dose

Project description:Atrazine is one of the most commonly used herbicide and has been frequently detected in estuarine and offshore waters worldwide. As a photosystem Ⅱ inhibitor, atrazine may inhibit phytoplankton from fixating of CO2 and alter its carbon metabolism, which will undoubtedly have negative effect on the primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity of coastal waters. However, the existing reports mainly focused on agriculture and freshwater ecosystems and are mostly toxicity test with high-dose of atrazine, which have little concern about the negative effects of atrazine on the carbon metabolism of phytoplankton and can’t reflect the actual toxic situation in offshore water. Diatoms are widely distributed in freshwater and oceans and contribute at least 20% of the global CO2 assimilation, which is an ideal model group to assess the ecological risk of atrazine. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the physiological and genome-wide gene expression characteristics of the diatom P. tricornutum Pt-1 (CCMP 2561) treated with environmental dose of atrazine at different stress stages.

Quantitative proteomic analyses reveal the impact of nitrogen shortage on the proteome of the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Project description:Diatoms represent one of the largest groups of Stramenopiles. In the phytoplankton biodiversity, they dominate oceanic and freshwater ecosystems, and contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycles. They are primary producers at the base of food webs, capturing dissolved CO2, inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, etc., and are important carriers of carbon and silicon to the ocean interior. Whereas extensive studies of P. tricornutum response to a lack of nitrogen have been reported from transcriptomics to metabolomics and lipidomics, changes occurring at the proteome level are still missing. Here we aimed at providing a reference dataset, corresponding to the proteomic changes occurring when Phaeodactylum tricornutum cells were cultivated in either a nitrogen-rich or a nitrogen-poor medium.
