Project description:Naturally prevailing microorganisms in zinc and copper minerals processing

Project description:In this study we used a transcriptomic approach to study the molecular determinants of the synergy between copper and fluconazole, in Candida glabrata, the second most frequent cause of invasive candidiasis. We demonstrate that copper acts together with fluconazole by downregulating three distinct pathways: azole efflux, ergosterol biosynthesis and zinc homeostasis. Coincidently, all these pathways are important for C. glabrata to cope with fluconazole stress. Therefore, when copper and fluconazole are combined cells fail to detoxify this drug and accumulate toxic methylated intermediates of sterol metabolism. This accumulation, possibly together with copper-induced lipid damages, should affect the activity of plasma membrane transporters, which impedes zinc uptake, leading to zinc depletion

Project description:Salmonella can infect a wide range of hosts and survive in the environment. This invasive pathogen has therefore evolved and acquired specific traits to cope with different, and in most cases unfavorable, conditions. In particular, transition metal ions are widely spread in these niches. These ions are essential in biology and play key roles in the structure-function of a large number of proteins. They can also be toxic, especially at high concentrations. Intracellular metal ion concentrations must therefore be tightly controlled to maintain normal metabolism. Salmonella has acquired traits to deal with the presence of toxic concentrations of some of these ions and, at the same time, to fulfill its requirement for essential metal ions when they are scarce. In this work we analyze the transcriptional response of Salmonella enterica to copper and zinc, two of these essential metals, in both rich (SLB) and defined (M9) media and at short times (10 minutes). This tiling-array based work provides a detailed description of the main transcriptional response when Salmonella detects fluctuations in copper and zinc concentrations. 14028s cells were grown up to OD 0.6, then, copper 10 uM (M9) or 1 mM (SLB) or Zn 50uM (M9) or 0.25 mM (SLB) was added and bacteria were grown for 10 minutes, RNA was isolated after this time. The RNA from bacteria grown without metal was also isolated. Each sample was analized by duplicate.

Project description:We studied the influence of copper in physiological and morphological differentiation of Streptomyces coelicolor. We demonstrate differences in phenotype (germination, growth rate, antibiotic production) and genetic expression between a strain mutated at copper chaperone CopZ (SCO2730::Tn5062), the wild-type strain and a wild-type strain sporulated in a media with 80µM CuSO4. These differences are correlated with the cytosolic copper. Our results demonstrate a pleiotropic effect of copper modulating S. coelicolor development.

Project description:To identify genes which are differentially expressed in Corynebacterium glutamicum in the absence of copper, we performed DNA microarray analyses of cells cultivated under copper starvation conditions compared to copper sufficiency.

Project description:Lovastatin and other statins inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, which carries out an early step in the sterol biosynthesis pathway. Statins lower cholesterol and are widely prescribed to prevent heart disease, but like many drugs, they can interact with nutritionally acquired metabolites. To probe these interactions, we explored the effect of a diverse library of metabolites on statin effectiveness using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae model. In yeast, treatment with lovastatin results in reduced growth. We combined lovastatin with the library of metabolites and found that copper and zinc ions impaired the ability of the statin to inhibit yeast growth. Using an integrated genomic and metabolomic approach, we found that lovastatin plus metal synergistically upregulated some sterol biosynthesis genes. This altered pattern of gene expression resulted in greater flux through the sterol biosynthesis pathway and an increase in ergosterol levels. Each sterol intermediate level was correlated with expression of the upstream gene. Thus, the ergosterol biosynthetic response induced by statin is enhanced by copper and zinc. In cultured mammalian cells, these metals also rescued statin growth inhibition. Because copper and zinc impair the ability of statin to reduce sterol biosynthesis, dietary intake of these metals could have clinical relevance for statin treatment in humans.

Project description:Although copper is an essential nutrient crucial for many biological processes, an excessive concentration can be toxic and lead to cell death. The metabolism of this two-faced metal must be strictly regulated at the cell level. In this study, we investigated copper homeostasis in two related unicellular organisms: nonpathogenic Naegleria gruberi and the “brain-eating amoeba” Naegleria fowleri. We identified and confirmed the function of their specific copper transporters securing the main pathway of copper acquisition. Adjusting to different environments with varying copper levels during the life cycle of these organisms requires various metabolic adaptations. Using comparative proteomic analyses, measuring oxygen consumption, and enzymatic determination of NADH dehydrogenase, we showed that both amoebas respond to copper deprivation by upregulating the components of the branched electron transport chain: the alternative oxidase and alternative NADH dehydrogenase. Interestingly, analysis of iron acquisition indicated that this system is copper-dependent in N. gruberi but not in its pathogenic relative. Importantly, we identified a potential key protein of copper metabolism of N. gruberi, the homolog of human DJ-1 protein, which is known to be linked to Parkinson’s disease. Altogether, our study reveals the mechanisms underlying copper metabolism in the model amoeba N. gruberi and the fatal pathogen N. fowleri and highlights the differences between the two amoebas.

Project description:Copper homeostasis is an important determinant for virulence of many human pathogenic fungi such as the highly prevalent yeast Candida albicans. However, beyond the copper transporter Ctr1, little is known regarding other genes or biological process that are affected by copper. To gain insight into the cellular processes that are modulated by copper abundance in C. albicans, we monitored the global gene expression dynamic under both copper depletion and excess using RNA-seq.
