Project description:High intracellular levels of unbound iron can contribute to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the Fenton reaction, while depletion of iron limits the availability of iron containing proteins, some of which have important functions in the oxidative stress defense. Vice versa increased ROS levels lead to damage of proteins with iron sulfur centers. Thus organisms have to coordinate and balance their responses to oxidative stress and iron availability. Our knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying the coregulation of these responses is still limited. To discriminate between a direct cellular response to iron limitation and indirect responses, which are the consequence of increased levels of ROS, we compared the response of the alpha proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides to iron limitation in presence or absence of oxygen. While some genes respond to iron limitation exclusively or much stronger in presence of oxygen, other genes show much stronger response in anaerobic conditions. Remarkably few genes show even opposite response to iron depletion in presence or absence of iron. RNA samples collected from anaerobically or microaerobically grown cultures in presence or absence of iron were analyzed by RNA_sequencing

Project description:Pathogens have to cope with oxidative, iron- and carbon-limitation stresses in the human body. To understand how combined iron-carbon limitation alters oxidative stress response, Aspergillus fumigatus was cultured in glucose-peptone or peptone containing media supplemented or not with deferiprone as iron chelator. Changes in the transcriptome in these cultures were recorded after H2O2 treatment. Responses to oxidative stress were highly dependent on the availability of glucose and iron. Out of the 16 stress responsive antioxidative enzyme genes only the cat2 catalase-peroxidase gene was upregulated in more than two culturing conditions. The transcriptional responses observed in iron metabolism also varied substantially in these cultures. Only extracellular siderophore production appeared important regardless to culturing conditions in oxidative stress protection, while enhanced synthesis of Fe-S cluster proteins seemed to be crucial for oxidative stress treated iron-limited and fast growing (glucose rich) cultures. Although pathogens and host cells live together in the same place, their culturing conditions (e.g. iron availability, or occurrence of oxidative stress) can be different. Therefore, inhibition of a universally important biochemical process, like Fe-S cluster assembly, may selectively inhibit the pathogen growth in vivo and represent a potential target for antifungal therapy.

Project description:Zinc is indispensable for the catalytic activity and structural stability of many proteins, and its deficiency can have severe consequences for microbial growth in natural and industrial environments. For example, Zn depletion in wort negatively affects beer fermentation and quality. Several studies have investigated yeast adaptation to low Zn supply, but were all performed in batch cultures, where specific growth rate depends on Zn availability. The transcriptional responses to growth-rate and Zn availability are then intertwined, which obscures result interpretation. In the present study, transcriptional responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Zn availability were investigated at a fixed specific growth rate under Zn limitation and excess in chemostat culture. To investigate the context-dependency of this transcriptional response, yeast was grown under several chemostat regimes resulting in various carbon (glucose), nitrogen (ammonium) and oxygen supplies. A robust set of genes that responded consistently to Zn limitation was identified and enabled the definition of a Zn-specific Zap1 regulon comprising of 26 genes and characterized by a broader ZRE consensus (MHHAACCBYNMRGGT) than so far described. Most surprising was the Zn-dependent regulation of genes involved in storage carbohydrate metabolism. Their concerted down-regulation was physiologically relevant as revealed by a substantial decrease in glycogen and trehalose cellular content under Zn limitation. An unexpectedly large amount of genes were synergistically or antagonistically regulated by oxygen and Zn availability. This combinatorial regulation suggested a more prominent involvement of Zn in mitochondrial biogenesis and function than hitherto identified.

Project description:Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters play an essential role in plants as protein co-factors mediating diverse electron transfer reactions. Because they can react with oxygen to form reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cause cellular damage, the biogenesis of Fe-S clusters is highly regulated. A newly discovered group of 2Fe-2S proteins, termed NEET proteins, was recently proposed to coordinate iron-sulfur, iron, and ROS homeostasis in mammalian cells. Here we report that disrupting the function of AtNEET, the sole member of the NEET protein family in Arabidopsis thaliana, triggers a leaf-associated Fe- and Fe-S-deficiency responses, iron overload in chloroplasts (1.2-1.5 fold), chlorosis, structural damage to chloroplasts, and a high seedling mortality rate. Our findings suggest that disrupting AtNEET function disrupts the transfer of 2Fe-2S clusters from the chloroplastic 2Fe-2S biogenesis pathway to Fe-S proteins, and that uncoupling this process triggers a leaf-associated Fe-deficiency response that results in iron overload in chloroplasts and enhanced ROS accumulation

Project description:Propionibacterium freudenreichii (PFR) DSM 20271 is a bacterium known for its ability to thrive in diverse environments and produce vitamin B12. Despite its anaerobic preference, recent studies have elucidated its ability to prosper in the presence of oxygen, prompting a deeper exploration of its physiology under aerobic conditions. Here, we investigated the response of DSM 20271 to aerobic growth by employing comparative transcriptomic and surfaceome analyses alongside metabolite profiling. Cultivation under controlled partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) conditions revealed significant increases in biomass formation and altered metabolite production, notably B12 vitamin, pseudovitamin-B12, propionate and acetate, under aerobic conditions. Transcriptomic analysis identified differential expression of genes involved in lactate metabolism, TCA cycle, and electron transport chain, suggesting metabolic adjustments to aerobic environments. Moreover, surfaceome analysis unveiled growth environment-dependent changes in surface protein abundance, with implications for sensing and adaptation to atmospheric conditions. Supplementation experiments with key compounds highlighted the potential for enhancing aerobic growth, emphasizing the importance of iron and α-ketoglutarate availability. Furthermore, in liquid culture, FeSO4 supplementation led to increased heme production and reduced vitamin B12 production, highlighting the impact of oxygen and iron availability on the metabolic pathways. These findings deepen our understanding of PFR's physiological responses to oxygen availability and offer insights for optimizing its growth in industrial applications.

Project description:The goal of this study was to study this interaction by analyzing genome-wide transcriptional responses to four different nutrient-limitation regimes under aerobic and anaerobic conditions in chemostat cultures of S. cerevisiae. This ‘two-dimensional’ approach resulted in a new, robust set of ‘anaerobic’ and ‘aerobic’ signature transcripts for S. cerevisiae, as well as to a refinement of previous reports on nutrient-responsive genes. Moreover, the identification of genes regulated both by nutrient and oxygen availability provided new insight in cross-regulated network and hierarchy in the control of gene expression.
