Amino acid catabolism fuels microalgal lipogenesis

ABSTRACT: Microalgal lipid, a feasible substrate for biofuel, is typically accumulated during the stationary growth phase. Generating strains which trigger lipogenesis from the exponential growth phase will enhance lipid productivity, reduce cost of biofuel production. We characterized a lipid-rich microalgal mutant, Dunaliella tertiolecta, which exhibited a six-fold enhancement of neutral lipids production in the exponential growth phase with marginal compromise on growth (4%). Using transcriptomics and metabolomics, regulatory mechanisms of the mutant were uncovered.

Branched-chain amino acid catabolism fuels adipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis.

Project description:Adipose tissue plays important roles in regulating carbohydrate and lipid homeostasis, but less is known about the regulation of amino acid metabolism in adipocytes. Here we applied isotope tracing to pre-adipocytes and differentiated adipocytes to quantify the contributions of different substrates to tricarboxylic acid (TCA) metabolism and lipogenesis. In contrast to proliferating cells, which use glucose and glutamine for acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) generation, differentiated adipocytes showed increased branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolic flux such that leucine and isoleucine from medium and/or from protein catabolism accounted for as much as 30% of lipogenic AcCoA pools. Medium cobalamin deficiency caused methylmalonic acid accumulation and odd-chain fatty acid synthesis. Vitamin B12 supplementation reduced these metabolites and altered the balance of substrates entering mitochondria. Finally, inhibition of BCAA catabolism compromised adipogenesis. These results quantitatively highlight the contribution of BCAAs to adipocyte metabolism and suggest that BCAA catabolism has a functional role in adipocyte differentiation.

Mycobacterial fatty acid catabolism is repressed by FdmR to sustain lipogenesis and virulence

Project description:Here, we identified a long-chain acyl-CoA-responsive transcriptional repressor, FdmR, as the key regulator of mycobacterial fatty acid catabolism. We employed ChIP-Seq to identify the genomic binding regions for FdmR. FdmR was found to bind upstream of fadA2, fabG4, fadE24, fixA, MMAR_1683, fadE5, icl, desA3, desA3_1, and MMAR_2730.We then demonstrated that FdmR acts as a valve to direct the fatty acid flux from β-oxidation towards lipid biosynthesis, thereby avoiding the overactive catabolism and accumulation of biologically toxic intermediates. This regulatory mechanism enables a high rate of cell growth with modest consumption of fatty acid substrates.

High-throughput insertional mutagenesis reveals novel targets for enhancing lipid accumulation in Nannochloropsis oceanica

Project description:Oleaginous microalgae are considered a promising platform for the sustainable production of high-value lipids and biofuel feedstocks. However, current lipid yields are too low to allow for an economically feasible production process. Lipid yields could be enhanced by improving microalgal strains through genetic engineering. Strain improvement strategies for the industrially relevant genus Nannochloropsis have met limited success because most genes of this genus lack a functional annotation, hindering our understanding of lipid metabolism and its regulation. To gain fundamental insights and to provide targets for genetic engineering of lipid metabolism, the aim of this study was to discover novel genes that are associated with higher neutral lipid (NL) content in Nannochloropsis oceanica. Therefore, we constructed a random gene knockout (KO) insertional mutagenesis library of N. oceanica, and we screened it by five rounds of fluorescence-activated cell sorting to select high lipid mutant (HLM) strains. Several strains showed increased NL contents compared to the wild type under favorable growth conditions. By using an adapted cassette PCR strategy involving the type IIS restriction endonuclease MmeI, we traced the responsible genetic KO of the five most promising mutant strains. One particularly promising mutant strain (HLM23) was disrupted in gene NO06G03670, which encodes a putative APETALA2-like transcription factor. HLM23 was not affected in growth rate, had increase d photosynthetic performance and a NL content of 30% dry cell weight^(-1), a 40% increase compared to the wild type. RNA sequencing revealed a transcriptional upregulation of genes related to plastidial fatty acid biosynthesis, glycolysis and the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle in this mutant.

Transcriptional analysis of prebiotic uptake and catabolism by Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM

Project description:The global transcriptome of the wild type Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM strain (NCK56) was measured during exponential growth on 11 prebiotic carbohydrates and glucose to identify the specific gene cluster differentially upregulated in response to each carbohydrate. Oligoarray hybridization experiments were performed to compare the differential transcriptional profiles of the NCK56 at the early-log (OD600nm 0.3-0.5) phase when cultured in semi-synthetic medium (SSM, Barrangou et al., 2003 PNAS. 100:8957-8962, supplemented with a range of 1% (w/v) carbohydrates, at 37 M-BM-0C and harvested by centrifugation and flash freezing. A total of 12 NCK56 cultures were prepared by growing in SSM supplemented with each one of the 12 tested carbohydrates. Each culture was grown in fresh carbohydrate supplemented SSM with a 1% inoculum from an overnight culture for a total of five subcultured passages. Aliquots of cells were collected at OD600nm of 0.3-0.5 (early log-phase) for total RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis. Labeled cDNA samples from NCK56 were coupled with mono-reactive Cy3 and Cy5 dyes (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp., Piscataway, NJ), for two technical replicates on each carbohydrate (e.g. cy3-GOS and cy5-GOS). Comparative hybridizations were performed on samples representing two different carbohydrate cultures at same growth phases labeled with either cy3 or cy5 using a loop design for 12 hybridizations.

Cucumber transcriptome tells story of early fruit development from fruit set through exponential growth

Project description:Early stages of fruit growth from initial set through exponential growth are critical determinants of size and yield, however, there has been little detailed analysis of this phase of development. In this study we combined morphological analysis with 454 pyrosequencing to study gene expression changes occurring in young cucumber fruit at five ages from anthesis through the end of exponential growth. The resulting 1.13 million ESTs were assembled into 27,859 contigs with a mean length of 834 base pairs and a mean of 67 reads per contig. Principal component analysis separated the fruit ages into three groups corresponding with cell division/pre-exponential growth (0 and 4 days post pollination (dpp)), peak exponential expansion (8dpp), and late/post-exponential expansion stages of growth (12 and 16 dpp). Transcripts predominantly expressed at 0 and 4 dpp included homologs of histones, cyclins, and plastid and photosynthesis related genes. The group of genes with peak expression at 8dpp included cytoskeleton, cell wall, and lipid metabolism related genes and phloem specific proteins. This group also was dominated by genes with unknown function or without Arabidopsis homologs, suggesting unique factors contributing to the rapid growth phase in cucurbits. A second shift in gene expression was observed at 12-16dpp, which was characterized by abiotic and biotic stress related genes and significant enrichment for stress related- and developmental- transcription factor gene homologs. Collectively, the gene expression information coupled with morphological analyses tells a progressive story of cell division, development of photosynthetic capacity, cell expansion and fruit growth, phloem activity, protection of the fruit surface, and finally transition away from fruit growth toward defense and maturation.
