Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are shed from cells of almost every type of cell or organism. These nano- to micrometer scaled lipid bilayer delimited spheres shuttle a set of bioactive molecules involved in many processes including cell-cell communication, host-pathogen interactions and even the sharing of microbial community resources. On the other hand, the yeast-to hypha transition is the most studied morphology transition in C. albicans and one of the most important traits of C. albicans to invade host tissue during infection. In this context, we have undergone the isolation and protein cargo characterization of EVs secreted by both major C. albicans morphologies by means, LC- MS analysis. A total of 2546 different proteins were identified from hyphal EVs in the 3 biological replicates carried out dropping this number to only 414 proteins identified in the 3 biological replicates from yeast EVs. Comparing the identified proteins of both EVs, 241 proteins were common to both type of vesicles. In terms of biological significance, we only took into consideration proteins that were identified in at least two biological replicates with at least two peptides and a q-value< 0.01.

Project description:Although Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are most closely related, both species significantly behave differently with respect to morphogenesis and virulence. In order to gain further insight into the divergent routes for morphogenetic adaptation in both species, we investigated qualitative along with quantitative differences in the transcriptomes of both organisms by cDNA deep sequencing. Following genome-associated assembly of sequence reads we were able to generate experimentally verified databases containing 6016 and 5972 genes for C. albicans and C. dubliniensis, respectively. About 95% of the transcriptionally active regions (TARs) contain open reading frames while the remaining TARs most likely represent non-coding RNAs. Comparison of our annotations with publically available gene models for C. albicans and C. dubliniensis confirmed approximately 95% of already predicted genes, but also revealed so far unknown novel TARs in both species. Qualitative cross-species analysis of these databases revealed in addition to 5802 orthologs also 399 and 49 species-specific protein coding genes for C. albicans and C. dubliniensis, respectively. Furthermore, quantitative transcriptional profiling using RNA-Seq revealed significant differences in the expression of orthologs across both species. We defined a core subset of 84 hyphal-specific genes required for both species, as well as a set of 42 genes that seem to be specifically induced during hyphal morphogenesis in C. albicans. Species specific adaptation in C. albicans and C. dubliniensis is governed by individual genetic repertoires but also by altered regulation of conserved orthologs on the transcriptional level. We investigated qualitative along with quantitative differences in the transcriptomes of both organisms by cDNA deep sequencing. In a first step, we reevaluated the in silico predicted gene models by collecting experimental data using FLX - technology for sequencing strand-specific and normalized cDNA libraries derived from blastospores and hyphae. In the second step, quantitative RNA-Seq (GAIIX) was applied to C. albicans hyphal cells and C. dubliniensis blastospore and hyphal cells to complement reevaluation of the gene models with FLX data as well as to measure differential gene expression across the species with two biological replicates.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of wild type and set3-deficient Candida albicans cells in yeast and hyphal morphological phases

Project description:During infection the yeast Candida albicans undergoes a yeast-to-hyphal transition and secretes numerous proteins required for the invasion and damage of host tissues and the modulation of the host immune responses. Still little is known about the interplay of Candida albicans secreted proteins and the host adaptive immune system. For the characterization of the extracellular proteins of C. albicans and their ability to trigger a serological response in candidemia patients we applied 2D gel electrophoresis and LC-MS/MS-based approaches. These analyses identified the secretion of 101 different proteins from C. albicans yeast cells and 410 proteins from hyphal cells. Morphology-dependent changes of the secretome were mostly associated with proteins involved in cell wall organization, general stress response and the interplay with host immune cells. Our immunoproteomics workflow for the identification of secreted C. albicans protein antigens revealed a core set of 20 immunodominant specific anti- C. albicans protein antibodies. However, some secreted protein antigens showed cross-reactivity with sera from control groups without Candida infection. Glycoprotein staining of C. albicans hyphal secretome demonstrated that some secreted proteins are strongly glycosylated. Enzymatic deglycosylation of secreted proteins uncovered a significant contribution of glycan epitopes to the recognition of the secreted aspartyl protease Sap6 by IgG antibodies from patient sera.

Project description:Sfl1p and Sfl2p are two homologous heat shock factor-type transcriptional regulators that antagonistically control morphogenesis in Candida albicans, while being required for full pathogenesis and virulence. To understand how Sfl1p and Sfl2p exert their function, we combined genome-wide location and expression analyses to reveal their transcriptional targets in vivo together with the associated changes of the C. albicans transcriptome. We show that Sfl1p and Sfl2p bind to the promoter of at least 113 common targets through divergent binding motifs and modulate directly the expression of key transcriptional regulators of C. albicans morphogenesis and/or virulence. Surprisingly, we found that Sfl2p additionally binds to the promoter of 75 specific targets, including a high proportion of hyphal-specific genes (HSGs; HWP1, HYR1, ECE1, others), revealing a direct link between Sfl2p and hyphal development. Data mining pointed to a regulatory network in which Sfl1p and Sfl2p act as both transcriptional activators and repressors. Sfl1p directly represses the expression of positive regulators of hyphal growth (BRG1, UME6, TEC1, SFL2), while upregulating both yeast form-associated genes (RME1, RHD1,YWP1) and repressors of morphogenesis (SSN6, NRG1). On the other hand, Sfl2p directly upregulates HSGs and activators of hyphal growth (UME6, TEC1), while downregulating yeast form-associated genes and repressors of morphogenesis (NRG1, RFG1, SFL1). Using genetic interaction analyses, we provide further evidences that Sfl1p and Sfl2p antagonistically control C. albicans morphogenesis through direct modulation of the expression of important regulators of hyphal growth. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that binding of Sfl1p and Sfl2p to their targets occurs with the co-binding of Efg1p and/or Ndt80p. Indeed, we show that Sfl1p and Sfl2p targets are bound by Efg1p and that both Sfl1p and Sfl2p associate in vivo with Efg1p. Taken together, our data suggest that Sfl1p and Sfl2p act as central M-bM-^@M-^\switch on/offM-bM-^@M-^] proteins to coordinate the regulation of C. albicans morphogenesis. ChIP was performed in 2 independently grown C. albicans sfl1 or sfl2 homozygous mutant strains expressing (sfl1-CaEXP-SFL1-HA or sfl2-CaEXP-SFL2-HA, respectively) or not (sfl1-CaEXP or sfl2-CaEXP, respectively) SFL1-HA or SFL2-HA (-HA, 3'-triple-HA-tagged alleles of SFL1 or SFL2) under the control of a methionine-repressible promoter (Total samples = 8; 2xCaEXP-SFL1-HA, 2xCaEXP-SFL2-HA, 2xCaEXP control for SFL1-HA ChIP and 2xCaEXP control for SFL2-HA ChIP).

Project description:Candida albicans, the most common cause of human fungal infections, undergoes a reversible morphological transition from yeast to pseudohyphal and hyphal filaments, which is required for virulence. For many years, the relationship between global gene expression patterns associated with determination of specific C. albicans morphologies has remained obscure. Using a strain that can be genetically manipulated to sequentially transition from yeast to pseudohyphae to hyphae in the absence of complex environmental cues and upstream signaling pathways, we demonstrate by whole-genome transcriptional profiling that genes associated with pseudohyphae represent a subset of those associated hyphae and are generally expressed at lower levels; interestingly, no genes appeared to be expressed exclusively in pseudohyphae. Our results also strongly suggest that in addition to dosage, extended duration of filament-specific gene expression is sufficient to drive the C. albicans yeast-pseudohyphal-hyphal transition. Finally, we describe the first transcriptional profile of the C. albicans reverse hyphal-pseudohyphal-yeast transition and demonstrate that this transition not only involves down-regulation of known hyphal-specific genes but also differential expression of additional genes which have not previously been associated with the forward transition, including many involved in protein synthesis. These findings provide new insight into genome-wide mechanisms important for determining fungal morphology and suggest that in addition to similarities, there are also fundamental differences in global gene expression as pathogenic filamentous fungi undergo forward and reverse morphological transitions. The Dosage Experiment (13 arrays) was performed twice (two biological replicates). MBY38 cells were treated with various concentrations of Doxycycline (Dox): 20 (n=3), 0.4 (n=1), 0.35 (n=1), 0.3 (n=1), 0.25 (n=1), 0.2 (n=1), 0.15 (n=1), 0.1 (n=1), 0.05 (n=1), 0.02 (n=1) and 0 µg/mL (n=1). Each 20 ug/ml sample was used for 3 technical replicate arrays, one of which was labeled using reverse fluors. The reference sample consisted of equal aliquots of the experimental samples. The Forward Transition Experiment (23 arrays) was performed twice (two biological replicates). MBY38 cells were grown in the presence (n=10) or absence (n=10) of 1.0 ug/ml Dox and subsequently harvested at time points between 1 and 10 hours. Each 1.0 ug/mL Dox treated sample was collected at 0 hours and used for 3 technical replicate arrays, one of which was labeled using reverse fluors. The reference sample consisted of equal aliquots of all 21 experimental samples. The Reverse Transition Experiment (26 arrays) was performed twice (two biological replicates). MBY38 cells were grown in the presence (n=10) or absence (n=10) of 20.0 ug/ml Dox and subsequently harvested at time points between 1 and 10 hours. Each 20.0 ug/mL sample was collected at 0 hours and used for 3 technical replicate arrays, one of which was labeled using reverse fluors. Each untreated (no Dox) sample was collected at 0 hours and used for 3 technical replicate arrays, one of which was labeled using reverse fluors. The reference sample consisted of equal aliquots of all 22 experimental samples. The Dox Control Experiment consisted of 12 arrays. PCY87 cells were grown in the presence (n=5) or absence (n=5) of 20.0 ug/ml Dox overnight to create 5 pairs of biological replicates. Three pairs of biological replicates were labelled normally (one of which was repeated as a technical replicate using reverse fluors) and 2 pairs of biological replicates were labeled using reverse fluors. The Dosage Experiment reference was used as the reference sample.

Project description:Heat shock proteins are best known for their role as chaperonins involved in general proteostasis, but they can also participate in specific cellular regulatory pathways, e.g. via their post-translational modification. Hsp70/Ssa1 is a central cytoplasmic chaperonin in eukaryotes, which also participates in cell cycle regulation via its phosphorylation at a specific residue. Here we analyze the role of Ssa1 phosphorylation in the morphogenesis of the fungus Candida albicans, a common human opportunistic pathogen. C. albicans can assume alternative yeast and hyphal (mold) morphologies, an ability that contributes to its virulence. We identified 11 phosphorylation sites on C. albicans Ssa1, of which 8were only detected in the hyphalcells. Genetic analysis of these sites revealedallele-specific effects on growth at high temperature, cell and colony morphology, and resistance to cell wall-active drugs.This analysis could help direct screens for Ssa1-specific drugs to combat C. albicans virulence.The pleiotropic effects of many Ssa1 mutations are consistent with the large number of Ssa1 client proteins, whereas the lack of concordance between the phenotypes of the different alleles suggests that different sites on Ssa1 can affect interaction with specific classes of client protein, and that modification of these sites can play cellular regulatory roles, consistent with the “chaperone code” hypothesis.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of wild type and set3-deficient Candida albicans cells in yeast and hyphal morphological phases RNA Sequencing was performed of wild type and set3-deficient Candida albicans strains in two morphological phases (yeast and hypha). Yeast-phase cells were grown to the exponential phase in YPD at 30oC. Hyphal differentiation was induced by resuspending the cells in YPD+20% Fetal Calf Serum and a shift of the growth temperature to 37oC. Induction was performed for 30 minutes. Three biological replicates of both genotypes in each morphological phases were analyzed.
