Project description:Iron and manganese are part of a small group of transition metals required for photosynthetic electron transport. Here, we present evidence for a functional link between iron and manganese homeostasis. In the unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Fe and Mn deprivation resulted in distinct modifications of the function of the photosynthetic apparatus. For example, iron limitation modifies the rate of QA re-oxidation in photosystem II, a complex that contains more Mn than Fe. The intracellular elemental quotas of Fe and Mn are also linked. Fe limitation reduces the intracellular Mn quota. Mn limitation did not exert a reciprocal effect on Fe quotas. Microarray analysis comparing Mn and Fe limitation revealed a stark difference in the extent of the transcriptional response to the two limiting conditions, reflective of the physiological data. The effects of Fe limitation on the transcriptional network are widespread while the effects on Mn limitation are highly specific. Our analysis also revealed an overlap in the transcriptional response of specific Fe and Mn transporters. This overlap provides a framework for explaining Fe limitation induced changes in Mn quotas. Fe transporters can serve as a low affinity Mn transport system. Under iron limitation the specificity of the Fe transport system changes, making it a less efficient Mn transport system.

Project description:Oxygenic photosynthesis contains multiple proteins that possess Fe2+ or Fe/S complexes as co-factors or prosthetic groups. Accordingly, its composition is heavily re-organized when iron becomes limiting as a nutrient factor, a situation that is frequently encountered in nature. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling the reorganization of the photosynthetic system upon iron deprivation have remained enigmatic. Here we show that the small regulatory RNA IsaR1 (Iron-stress activated RNA 1) plays a pivotal role in acclimation to low iron conditions. The transcription factor Fur cannot facilitate iron starvation dependent repression of it’s targets because it requires iron for DNA binding. We show that the Fur repressed sRNA IsaR1 fulfills this repressor function in iron homeostasis. The IsaR1 regulon consists of at least 15 direct targets, including Fe2+-containing proteins involved in photosynthetic electron transfer, the detoxification of anion radicals, citrate cycle, and in tetrapyrrole biogenesis. We demonstrate that IsaR1 is absolutely necessary to maintain physiological levels of Fe/S cluster biogenesis proteins during iron deprivation. Consequently, IsaR1 affects the acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to iron starvation at three levels: (i) directly, via posttranscriptional repression of gene expression and indirectly, (ii) via the suppression of Fe/S cluster co-factor and (iii) pigment biosynthesis. Homologs of IsaR1 are widely conserved throughout the cyanobacterial phylum. We conclude that IsaR1 is a riboregulator of central importance. These findings provide a new perspective for studies of the regulation of iron homeostasis in photosynthetic organisms.

We monitored the gene expression of Synechocystis PCC6083 at standard conditions and after 2 days of iron limitation (0Fe), manganese limitation (0Mn) and combined iron and manganese limitation (0Fe0Mn). Each timepoint and condition was sampled in triplicates. Due to strong deviations in one of the three repeats for the 0Mn and 0Fe0Mn conditions, the corresponding replicates were excluded from further analysis.

Project description:Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient whose uptake is tightly regulated to balance both deficiency and Fe excess induced oxidative stress. The non-essential heavy metal cadmium (Cd) both induces oxidative stress and an Fe deficiency like response. It is unclear how Cd induces this response, nor how it relates to Fe status sensing. Using next generation sequencing, H2O2 quantification in both wild type and the Fe over-accumulating mutant opt3-2, we explored how Cd interferes with Fe sensing. We found a large overlap of genes consistently responsive to Fe deficiency and Cd in both leaves and roots. Two subnetworks emerged dependent on the high Fe and H2O2 concentration in opt3-2, while opt3-2 chloroplasts showed reduced photosynthetic efficiency during Cd exposure, indicating that they are one source of H2O2. We describe the hierarchical regulation of Fe deficiency responses in the context of the opt3-2 mutant, and demonstrate that the opt3 dependent induction of Fe deficiency responses can be negated, or even reversed, by H2O2 dependent signaling, while the high Fe content of opt3-2 indicates Cd induced iron deficiency is not a function of reduced Fe uptake, but rather the putative leaf Fe sensor is Cd liable.

Project description:Low iron (Fe) bioavailability can limit the biosynthesis of Fe-containing proteins, which are especially abundant in photosynthetic organisms, thus negatively affecting global primary productivity. Understanding cellular coping mechanisms under Fe limitation is therefore of great interest. We surveyed the temporal responses of Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) cells transitioning from an Fe-rich to an Fe-free medium to document their short- and long-term adjustments. While slower growth, chlorosis and lower photosynthetic parameters are evident only after one or more days in Fe-free medium, the abundance of some transcripts, such as those for genes encoding transporters and enzymes involved in Fe assimilation, change within minutes, before changes in intracellular Fe content are noticeable, suggestive of a sensitive mechanism for sensing Fe. Promoter reporter constructs indicate a transcriptional component to this immediate primary response. With acetate provided as a source of reduced carbon, transcripts encoding respiratory components are maintained relative to transcripts encoding components of photosynthesis and tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, indicating metabolic prioritization of respiration over photosynthesis. In contrast to the loss of chlorophyll, carotenoid content is maintained under Fe limitation despite a decrease in the transcripts for carotenoid biosynthesis genes, indicating carotenoid stability. These changes occur more slowly, only after the intracellular Fe quota responds, indicating a phased response in Chlamydomonas, involving both primary and secondary responses during acclimation to poor Fe nutrition.

Project description:Copper and iron are essential micronutrients for most living organisms because they participate as cofactors in biological processes including respiration, photosynthesis and oxidative stress protection. In many eukaryotic organisms, including yeast and mammals, copper and iron homeostases are highly interconnected; however such interdependence is not well established in higher plants. Here we propose that COPT2, a high-affinity copper transport protein, functions under copper and iron deficiencies in Arabidopsis thaliana. COPT2 is a plasma membrane protein that functions in copper acquisition and distribution. Characterization of the COPT2 expression pattern indicates a synergic response to copper and iron limitation in roots. We have characterized a knockout of COPT2, copt2-1, that leads to increased resistance to simultaneous copper and iron deficiencies, measured as reduced leaf chlorosis and improved maintenance of the photosynthetic apparatus. We propose that COPT2 expression could play a dual role under Fe deficiency. First, COPT2 participates in the attenuation of copper deficiency responses driven by iron limitation maybe aimed to minimize further iron consume. On the other hand, global expression analyses of copt2-1 mutants versus wild type Arabidopsis plants indicate that low phosphate responses are increased in copt2-1 plants. In this sense, COPT2 function under Fe deficiency counteracts low phosphate responses. These results open up new biotechnological approaches to fight iron deficiency in crops. Four biological replicates of Arabidopsis seedlings were generated for 2 genotypes, Col-0 and copt2-1 mutant; and 3 growth condictions; first one an iron(Fe) and copper(Cu) sufficient medium (+Fe + Cu), second one an Fe deficient and Cu sufficient medium (-Fe+Cu) and third one an Fe and Cu deficient medium (-Fe-Cu). For each growth one comparasion was made, copt2-1 mutant versus Col-0; in each comparasion four biological replicates were made, two replicas were labeled with Cy5 for the mutant sample and Cy3 for the Col-0 sample, while the other two replicas were reversed-labeled.

Project description:The interaction between fungal pathogen and host during infection is a complex and dynamic process. To resolve this, we chose the zebrafish model organism as the host to study C. albicans infection via systems biology approach. Transcriptome microarray data and histological analysis of surviving fish were sampled at different post-infection time points. The dynamic variations of significant genes expression profiles in C. albicans and zebrafish were concurrently analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA results clearly indicated that the infection of C. albicans can be divided into three phases that include adhesion, invasion and damage phases. The results were highly consistent with subsequent histological analysis. Furthermore, we found the primary ontology function of genes with significant variations in both C. albicans and zebrafish is iron related. Most of the iron related genes in C. albicans were over-expressed in late stage, while most of the iron related genes in zebrafish were suppressed at the same phase of infection. It suggested that the iron homeostasis function of the host was shut-down when massive hemorrhage in zebrafish occurred during later stages of infection. At the same time, the iron scavenging function of C. albicans was activated. This implied the competition for iron is an important issue between the host and the fungal pathogen during infection. When we administered excess iron into the microenvironment of infection site, the infection process was significantly delayed. That indicated the virulence of C. albicans is correlated with its protein-bond iron scavenging strategies. Our finings not only provided dynamic mechanistic views of the iron competition but also highlighted the potential regulatory schemes in fungal pathogenesis.

Project description:Iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) are essential nutrients with close geochemical association. They exist at low concentrations in surface waters and may be co-limiting resources for phytoplankton growth. However, the adaptive strategies of photosynthetic organisms to Fe/P co-limitation remain largely unknown. Here, we show that phosphorus deficiency increases the growth of Fe-limited cyanobacteria through a PhoB-mediated regulatory network. In addition to its well-recognized role in controlling phosphate homeostasis, PhoB regulates key metabolic processes crucial for Fe-limited cyanobacteria, including ROS detoxification and Fe uptake. Transcript abundances of PhoB-targeted genes are enriched in samples from the P-deplete ocean, and a conserved PhoB binding site is widely present in the promoters of the targets, suggesting that the strategy we discovered may be highly conserved. Our findings provide important molecular insights into the response of cyanobacteria to simultaneous Fe/P nutrient limitation and help in understanding how nutrient availability affects primary productivity in aquatic environments.
