Project description:This study presents an integrated transcriptome sequencing to identify how Kobresia littledalei plants mount their responses and initiate acclimation against cold stress. Several significant DEGs and metabolic responses were categorized. By execution of BLAST analysis of the all genes against selected protein databases like Nr, Swiss-Prot, KEGG and COG, we got functional annotations and classifications. The large number of transcriptomic sequences and their functional annotations provide sufficient resources for future molecular studies. Moreover, information on the KEGG metabolic pathways and transcription factors will facilitate the discovery of other cold resistant genes. Importantly, our findings herein further the general understanding of Kobresia plants adaptation and responses to cold stress through the molecular mechanisms involved in signal regulation and cold resistance.

Project description:In response to cold, mammals activate brown fat for respiratory-dependent thermogenesis reliant on the electron transport chain. Yet, the structural basis of respiratory complex adaptation to cold remains elusive. Herein we combined thermoregulatory physiology and cryo-EM to study endogenous respiratory supercomplexes exposed to different temperatures. A cold-induced conformation of CI:III2 (termed type 2) was identified with a ~25 rotation of CIII2 around its inter-dimer axis, shortening inter-complex Q exchange space, and exhibiting different catalytic states which favor electron transfer. Large-scale supercomplex simulations in lipid membrane reveal how unique lipid-protein arrangements stabilize type 2 complexes to enhance catalytic activity. Together, our cryo-EM studies, multiscale simulations and biochemical analyses unveil the mechanisms and dynamics of respiratory adaptation at the structural and energetic level.

Project description:CCA-adding enzymes are highly specific RNA polymerases that synthesize and maintain the sequence CCA at the tRNA 3‘-end. Here, we investigated the impact of cold adaptation on the reactivity and specificity of CCA-adding enzymes from psychrophilic bacteria. A comparative study of the corresponding enzymes from closely related psychro-, meso-, and thermophilic Bacillales indicates that the cold-adapted enzymes show a considerable error rate during CCA synthesis, resulting in additional incorporations of C and A residues. It seems that the activity of psychrophilic CCA-adding enzymes is not only achieved at the expense of structural stability, reaction velocity and substrate affinity, but also results in a reduced polymerization fidelity.

Project description:In the field, abiotic stresses are rarely applied individually. Crops are often subjected to a combination of stresses. To date, no study has been performed on the proteomic investigation of the response of common wheat to a combination of drought and cold stresses. In this study, wheat seedlings exposed to drought-cold stress for 24 h showed inhibited growth, increased lipid peroxidation, relative electrolyte leakage, and soluble sugar contents. To determine the wheat protein response to drought-cold stress, iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods were employed to determine the proteomic profiles of the roots and leaves of wheat seedlings exposed to drought-cold stress conditions. We identified 250 and 258 proteins with significantly altered abundance in the roots and leaves, respectively. These proteins were classified into several main groups, as follows: protein metabolism, stress/defense, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, transcription-related processes, energy production, cell-wall and cytoskeleton metabolism, membrane and transportation, signal transduction, other metabolic processes, and unknown biological processes. Nine proteins were simultaneously presented in both roots and leaves exposed to drought-cold stress, and the majority of proteins identified differed from one another and displayed differently altered abundance. These findings uncovered organ-specific differences in adaptation to drought-cold stress. Exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application conferred the plant with protection against drought-cold stress and significantly increased catalase and peroxidase enzyme activities, as well as the transcription of glutathione S-transferase and other 11 sample genes in the roots or leaves, respectively. These results suggested that ABA is a potentially vital factor that contributes to the drought-cold signaling pathway and a promising target for growth recovery. Furthermore, VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing)-treated plants generated for three candidate protein genes TaGRP2, CDCP and WCOR410c were subjected to drought-cold limitation, they showed more serious droop and wilt, increased rate of relative electrolyte leakage, and reduced relative water content (RWC) compared to viral control plants. These results may indicate that TaGRP2, CDCP and WCOR410c play important roles in conferring drought-cold tolerance in wheat. These findings can provide useful insights into the molecular mechanisms of drought-cold responses in higher plants.

Project description:Following the dispersal out of Africa, where hominins evolved in warm environments for millions of years, our species has colonised different climate zones of the world, including high latitudes and cold environments. The extent to which human habitation in (sub-)Arctic regions has been enabled by cultural buffering, short-term acclimatization and genetic adaptations is not clearly understood. Present day indigenous populations of Siberia show a number of phenotypic features, such as increased basal metabolic rate, low serum lipid levels, increased blood pressure, short stature and broad skulls that have been attributed to adaptation to the extreme cold climate. We have genotyped 200 individuals from ten indigenous Siberian populations for 730,525 SNPs across the genome to identify genes and non-coding regions that have undergone unusually rapid allele frequency and long-range haplotype homozygosity change in the recent past. At least three distinct population clusters could be identified among the Siberians, each of which showed a number of unique signals of selection. We present a list of cold adaption candidate genes that showed significant signals of positive selection with our strongest signals associated with genes involved in energy regulation and metabolism (CPT1A, LRP5, THADA) and vascular smooth muscle contraction (PRKG1). By employing a new method that paints phased chromosome chunks by their ancestry we distinguish local Siberian-specific long-range haplotype signals from those introduced by admixture. 200 blood samples from 200 Siberian individuals that come from ten different indigenous populations were genotypes for 730,525 SNPs across the genome. Eighteen Vietnamese samples were also genotyped and used as reference samples.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis may provide means to investigate the underlying genetic causes of shared and divergent phenotypes in different populations and help to identify potential targets of adaptive evolution. Applying RNA sequencing to whole male Drosophila melanogaster from the ancestral tropical African environment and a very recently colonized cold-temperate European environment at both standard laboratory conditions and following a cold shock, we seek to uncover the transcriptional basis of cold adaptation. In both the ancestral and the derived populations, the predominant characteristic of the cold shock response is the swift and massive upregulation of heat shock proteins and other chaperones. Although we find ~30% of the genome to be differentially expressed following a cold shock, only relatively few genes (n=26) are up- or down-regulated in a population-specific way. Intriguingly, 24 of these 26 genes show a greater degree of differential expression in the African population. Likewise, there is an excess of genes with particularly strong cold-induced changes in expression in Africa on a genome-wide scale. The analysis of the transcriptional cold shock response most prominently reveals an upregulation of components of a general stress response, which is conserved over many taxa and triggered by a plethora of stressors. Despite the overall response being fairly similar in both populations, there is a definite excess of genes with a strong cold-induced fold-change in Africa. This is consistent with a detrimental deregulation or an overshooting stress response. Thus, the canalization of European gene expression might be responsible for the increased cold tolerance of European flies.

Project description:Halohasta litchfieldiae and Halorubrum lacusprofundi are important members of Deep Lake in Antarctica, representing ~44% (the most abundance) and ~10% (the 3rd most abundance) of the lake population. Deep Lake is in the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica (68°33’36.8S, 78°11’48.7E) and is 36 m deep, monomictic, and perennially cold (down to -20C) (DeMaere et al., 2013; Williams et al., 2014; Tschitschko et al., 2015; Tschitschko et al., 2016). In this project, using quantitative proteomics (8-plex iTRAQ labeling), proteins, pathways and cellular processes important for cold adaptation were determined for both Hht. litchfieldiae and Hrr. lacusprofundi. The data provided a new level of understanding about molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks involved in adaptation of the Antarctic haloarchaea to cold environment. DeMaere, M. Z., Williams, T.

Project description:Cold affects many aspects of biology, medicine, agriculture and industry. Here, we identify a conserved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, distinct from the canonical unfolded protein response, which maintains lipid homeostasis during extreme cold stress. We establish that the ER stress sensor IRE-1 is critical for resistance to extreme cold and is activated by cold temperature. Specifically, neuronal IRE-1 signals via JNK-1 and neuropeptide-mediated signalling to regulate lipid composition throughout the animal. The requirement of this cold-response pathway can be bypassed by supplementation with unsaturated fatty acids or by altering the diet . Altogether, our findings define an ER-centric conserved organism-wide cold stress response pathway, consisting of sensors, effectors and signalling moieties, which control adaptation to cold throughout the organism. Better understanding of the molecular basis of cold adaptation is crucial for the design of safe and optimal use of cold conditions on live organisms and samples, and for the development of better treatments for hypothermia. Conclusions: Our study represents a detailed analysis of C.elegans transcriptomes during cold stress, with biological replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.
