Project description:We investigated the gene expression responses of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique cultures to iron limitation. Differential expression was observed for genes in iron acquisition and incorporation operons. SfuC in particular was 16 times higher in iron-limited cultures and encodes a periplasmic iron-binding protein.

Project description:Thiamine is often undetectable in ocean surface waters where Pelagibacter cells are numerically abundant. Despite this, Pelagibacter cells are missing de novo thiamine synthesis pathways. We show that an eogenous source of the thiamine precursor HMP is required for thiamine synthesis in Pelagibacter and that this precursor is abundant in the Sargasso sea. Batch cultures of P. ubique were grown in a defined arificial seawater media. Three cultures were given no thiamine amendment, and three other cultures received an excess concentration of thiamine. Cultures were harvested for microarray analyses just prior to and after thiamine limitation for the purpose of observing differences in gene expression related to thiamine limitation.

Project description:We investigated the gene expression responses of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique cultures to iron limitation. Differential expression was observed for genes in iron acquisition and incorporation operons. SfuC in particular was 16 times higher in iron-limited cultures and encodes a periplasmic iron-binding protein. Six natural seawater cultures were amended with minimal nutrients and inoculated with P. ubique. Close to maximum cell density, all carboys were supplemented with 100 nM ferrichrome (an iron-chelating siderophore) and three carboys were additionally supplemented with 1 µM FeCl3. Each of the six carboys was sampled for microarray analyses one, two, and eleven days after the ferrichrome addition.

Project description:Bacteria respond to stimuli in the environment using transcriptional control, but this may not be the case for most marine bacteria having small, streamlined genomes. Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique, a cultivated representative of the SAR11 clade, which is the most abundant clade in the oceans 4, has a small, streamlined genome and possesses an unusually small number of transcriptional regulators. This observation leads to the hypothesis that transcriptional control is low in Pelagibacter and limits its response to environmental conditions. However, the extent of transcriptional control in Pelagibacter is unknown. Here we show that transcriptional control is extremely low in Pelagibacter and another oligotroph (SAR92) compared to two marine copiotrophic bacterial taxa, Polaribacter MED152 and Ruegeria pomeroyi. We found that ~0.1% of protein-encoding genes in Pelagibacter are under transcriptional control compared to >10% of genes in other marine bacteria. Regardless of the growth condition, the same genes were highly expressed while most genes were always expressed at very low levels. Quantitative RNA sequencing revealed that abundances of most Pelagibacter transcripts were <0.01 copies per cell whereas transcript abundances were 1 to 10 copies per cell in some other bacteria. Our results demonstrate that Pelagibacter can change growth without shifts in transcript levels, suggesting that transcriptional control plays a minimal role in the adaptive strategy for one of the most successful organisms in the biosphere.

Bacteria were grown in batch culture and sampled twice during the initial, rapid phase of exponential growth and twice during the phase of slower growth that followed.

Project description:Investigation of the gene expression responses of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique cultures to iron limitation in natural seawater media supplemented with a siderophore to chelate iron. Quantitative peptide mass spectrometry revealed that sfuC protein abundance increased 27-fold, despite an average decrease of 59% across the global proteome.

Project description:Nitrogen is one of the major nutrients limiting microbial productivity in the ocean, and as a result marine microorganisms have evolved specialized systems for responding to nitrogen stress. The highly abundant alphaproteobacterium Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique lacks the canonical GlnB, GlnD, and NtrB/NtrC genes for regulating nitrogen assimilation. A survey of 127 Alphaproteobacteria genomes found these genes to be highly represented in free-living and pathogenic organisms with large genomes and only missing in a subset of obligate intracellular organisms and other SAR11 strains. We examined global differences in mRNA and protein expression in Ca. P. ubique strain HTCC1062 during nitrogen-limited and nitrogen-replete stationary phase to understand how this thriving organism responds to nitrogen limitation. Transporters for ammonium (AmtB), taurine (TauA), amino acids (YhdW), and opines (OccT) were all elevated in nitrogen-limited cells, indicating they devote increased resources to the assimilation of nitrogenous compounds. Enzymes for assimilating amine into glutamine (GlnA) and glutamate (AspC, GltBD) were similarly up-regulated. Differential regulation of the transcriptional regulator NtrX in the two-component signaling system NtrY/NtrX was also observed, implicating it in the control of the nitrogen starvation response. Comparisons of the transcriptome and proteome suggest that Amt is post-transcriptionally repressed during nitrogen limitation, supporting previous studies that computationally identified a novel cis-acting riboswitch upstream of this gene. These observations support the conclusion that Ca. P. ubique has an unusually simple regulatory system that enables it to increase its capacity for the uptake of nitrogenous compounds in response to nitrogen limitation.
