Project description:Observations of scarce surface ocean concentrations of dissolved zinc (Zn) have raised the possibility that Zn may co-limit the growth of oceanic phytoplankton, yet testing this hypothesis has been difficult because Zn is highly prone to contamination. Biomarkers of micro-nutrient stress can serve as an alternate means to assay, though biomarker proteins for Zn stress in marine algae are currently uncharacterized. In this study we identified two Zn-responsive proteins in four marine diatom species that became abundant under Zn and Co limitation, but were scarce or undetectable in replete conditions. We refer to these proteins as ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B (Zn/Co Responsive Protein A and B). Sequence similarity of ZCRP-A to the Escherichia coli model COG0523 protein YjiA suggests a Zn2+ binding capability using conserved metal binding sites. Cellular localization by fluorescent tagging and overexpression of these proteins showed that ZCRP-B is part of a membrane-bound transport complex and that ZCRP-A serves as a Zn/Co chaperone with a chloroplastic target. These results imply that ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B are important in intracellular Zn trafficking and high-affinity transport, respectively. Metaproteomic detection of ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B homologs in a variety of eukaryotic protists along a South Pacific Ocean transect demonstrated that both proteins were more abundant in the euphotic zone (0-200m) where dZn and dCo were scarce. These findings describe widely distributed marine algal proteins linked to Zn and Co metabolism that together contribute to our understanding of Zn homeostasis in important marine phytoplankton.

Project description:Proteins secreted by marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus under phosphorus stress is largely uncharacterized. This dataset characterizes the exoproteins for both an open ocean (WH8102) and coastal (WH5701) Synechococcus strain and were collected as part of the study "Dissolved organic phosphorus bond-class utilization by Synechococcus". Study Abstract: Dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) contains compounds with phosphoester (P-O-C), phosphoanhydride (P-O-P), and phosphorus-carbon (P-C) bonds. Despite DOP’s importance as a nutritional source for marine microorganisms, the bioavailability of each bond-class to the widespread cyanobacterium Synechococcus remains largely unknown. This study evaluates bond-class specific DOP utilization by cultures of an open ocean and a coastal ocean Synechococcus strain. Both strains exhibited comparable growth rates when provided phosphate, short-chain and long-chain polyphosphate (P-O-P), adenosine 5’-triphosphate (P-O-C and P-O-P), and glucose-6-phosphate (P-O-C) as the phosphorus source. However, growth rates on phosphomonoester adenosine 5’-monophosphate (P-O-C) and phosphodiester bis(4-methylumbelliferyl) phosphate (C-O-P-O-C) varied between strains, and neither strain grew on selected phosphonates. Consistent with the growth measurements, both strains preferentially hydrolyzed 3-polyphosphate, followed by adenosine 5’-triphosphate, and then adenosine 5’-monophosphate. The strains’ exoproteome contained phosphorus hydrolases, which combined with enhanced cell-free hydrolysis of 3-polyphosphate and adenosine 5’-triphosphate under phosphate deficiency, suggests active mineralization of short-chain polyphosphate by Synechococcus’ exoproteins. Synechococcus alkaline phosphatases presented broad substrate specificities, including activity towards short-chain polyphosphate, with varying affinities between the two strains. Collectively, these findings underscore the potentially significant role of compounds with phosphoanhydride bonds in Synechococcus phosphorus nutrition, thereby expanding our understanding of microbially-mediated DOP cycling in marine ecosystems.

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 Experiment Overall Design: 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.

Project description:To combat infections, the mammalian host limits availability of essential transition metals such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) in a strategy termed “nutritional immunity”. The innate immune protein calprotectin (CP) contributes to nutritional immunity by sequestering these metals to exert antimicrobial activity against a broad range of microbial pathogens. One such pathogen is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes opportunistic infections in vulnerable populations including individuals with cystic fibrosis. CP was previously shown to withhold Fe(II) and Zn(II) from P. aeruginosa and induce Fe- and Zn-starvation responses in this pathogen. In this work, we performed quantitative, label-free proteomics to further elucidate how CP impacts metal homeostasis pathways in P. aeruginosa. We report that CP induces an incomplete Fe-starvation response, as many Fe-containing proteins that are repressed by Fe limitation are not affected by CP treatment. The Zn-starvation response elicited by CP seems to be more complete than the Fe-starvation response and includes increases in Zn transporters and Zn-independent proteins. CP also induces the expression of membrane-modifying enzymes, and metal-depletion studies indicate this response results from the sequestration of multiple metals. Moreover, the increased expression of membrane-modifying enzymes upon CP treatment correlates with increased tolorance to polymyxin B. Thus, response of P. aeruginosa to CP treatment includes both single and multi-metal starvation responses and includes many factors related to virulence potential, broadening our understanding of this pathogen’s interaction with the host.

Project description:Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is a metal resistant beta-proteobacterium. The genome of this bacterium contain many genes involved in heavy metal resistance. Gene expression of C. metallidurans was studied after the addition of of Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Hg(II) or Co(II). Keywords: Heavy metal stress response Cultures of C. metallidurans CH34 were grown at 30°C until OD reached 0.6 (mid- exponential phase cultures). Heavy metals (0.8 mM of Zn(II), 0.5 mM of Cd(II), 0.1 mM of Cu(II), 0.6 mM of Ni(II), 0.4 mM of Pb(II), 5 uM of Hg(II) and 0.5 mM of Co(II)) were added to the culture for 30 minutes induction time. Total RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed and labeled with Cy3-dCTP for the control (without metal) and with Cy5-dCTP for each conditions (challenged with one metal). Labeled cDNA were (control and one condition) added to a spotted slide for overnight hybridization at 42°C. Slides were scanned with a laser at 532 and 635 nm.
