Project description:Hyperthermophilic archeaon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 has known as a strict anaerobe. To date, a few of studies have been reported that strict anaerobe can grow using oxygen. However, the research of the growth enhancement of strict anaerobic archaeon belonging to the order of Thermococcales using the oxygen, in which has never been reported so far. In this study, we showed that the growth of T. onnurineus NA1 strain increased under various oxygen concentrations and we observed that oxygen was decreased in the headspace during the growth of cell. Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis was carried out to evaluate alterations in gene expression induced by O2 and to explain the physiological effects of oxidative stress on the growth of T. onnurineus NA1.

Project description:Lon is an oligomeric ATP-dependent protease that degrades defective or denatured proteins as well as some folded proteins for the control of cellular protein quality and metabolism. Lon from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 was purified and crystallized at 295 K. A 2.0 A resolution data set was collected using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to space group P6(3), with unit-cell parameters a = 121.45, b = 121.45, c = 195.24 A. Assuming the presence of two monomers in the asymmetric unit, the solvent content was estimated to be about 60.7%.

Project description:Two hypothetical genes were functionally verified to be a pyrophosphatase and a PAP phosphatase in Thermococcus onnurineus NA1. This is the first report of the pyrophosphatases and the PAP phosphatases being organized in the gene clusters of the sulfate activation system only in T. onnurineus NA1 and "Pyrococcus abyssi."

Project description:The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 has been shown to produce H? when using CO, formate, or starch as a growth substrate. This strain can also utilize elemental sulfur as a terminal electron acceptor for heterotrophic growth. To gain insight into sulfur metabolism, the proteome of T. onnurineus NA1 cells grown under sulfur culture conditions was quantified and compared with those grown under H?-evolving substrate culture conditions. Using label-free nano-UPLC-MSE-based comparative proteomic analysis, approximately 38.4% of the total identified proteome (589 proteins) was found to be significantly up-regulated (?1.5-fold) under sulfur culture conditions. Many of these proteins were functionally associated with carbon fixation, Fe-S cluster biogenesis, ATP synthesis, sulfur reduction, protein glycosylation, protein translocation, and formate oxidation. Based on the abundances of the identified proteins in this and other genomic studies, the pathways associated with reductive sulfur metabolism, H?-metabolism, and oxidative stress defense were proposed. The results also revealed markedly lower expression levels of enzymes involved in the sulfur assimilation pathway, as well as cysteine desulfurase, under sulfur culture condition. The present results provide the first global atlas of proteome changes triggered by sulfur, and may facilitate an understanding of how hyperthermophilic archaea adapt to sulfur-rich, extreme environments.

Project description:Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 is an anaerobic archaeon usually found in a deep-sea hydrothermal vent area, which can use elemental sulfur (S0) as a terminal electron acceptor for energy. Sulfur, essential to many biomolecules such as sulfur-containing amino acids and cofactors including iron-sulfur cluster, is usually mobilized from cysteine by the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate- (PLP-) dependent enzyme of cysteine desulfurase (CDS). We determined the crystal structures of CDS from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 (ToCDS), which include native internal aldimine (NAT), gem-diamine (GD) with alanine, internal aldimine structure with existing alanine (IAA), and internal aldimine with persulfide-bound Cys356 (PSF) structures. The catalytic intermediate structures showed the dihedral angle rotation of Schiff-base linkage relative to the PLP pyridine ring. The ToCDS structures were compared with bacterial CDS structures, which will help us to understand the role and catalytic mechanism of ToCDS in the archaeon Thermococcus onnurineus NA1.

Project description:In spite of their pivotal roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes, the regulatory elements of archaeal genomes are not yet fully understood. Here, we determine the primary transcriptome of the H2-producing archaeon Thermococcus onnurineus NA1. We identified 1,082 purine-rich transcription initiation sites along with well-conserved TATA box, A-rich B recognition element (BRE), and promoter proximal element (PPE) motif in promoter regions, a high pyrimidine nucleotide content (T/C) at the -1 position, and Shine-Dalgarno (SD) motifs (GGDGRD) in 5' untranslated regions (5' UTRs). Along with differential transcript levels, 117 leaderless genes and 86 non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) were identified, representing diverse cellular functions and potential regulatory functions under the different growth conditions. Interestingly, we observed low GC content in ncRNAs for RNA-based regulation via unstructured forms or interaction with other cellular components. Further comparative analysis of T. onnurineus upstream regulatory sequences with those of closely related archaeal genomes demonstrated that transcription of orthologous genes are initiated by highly conserved promoter sequences, however their upstream sequences for transcriptional and translational regulation are largely diverse. These results provide the genetic information of T. onnurineus for its future application in metabolic engineering.

Project description:The genome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 contains three copies of the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) gene, fdh1, fdh2, and fdh3. Previously, we reported that fdh2, clustered with genes encoding the multimeric membrane-bound hydrogenase and cation/proton antiporter, was essential for formate-dependent growth with H2 production. However, the functionality of the other two FDH-coding genes has not yet been elucidated. Herein, we purified and characterized cytoplasmic Fdh3 to understand its functionality. The purified Fdh3 was identified to be composed of a tungsten-containing catalytic subunit (Fdh3A), an NAD(P)-binding protein (Fdh3B), and two Fe-S proteins (Fdh3G1 and Fdh3G2). Fdh3 oxidized formate with specific activities of 241.7 U/mg and 77.4 U/mg using methyl viologen and NADP+ as electron acceptors, respectively. While most FDHs exhibited NAD+-dependent formate oxidation activity, the Fdh3 of T. onnurineus NA1 showed a strong preference for NADP+ over NAD+ as a cofactor. The catalytic efficiency (k cat /K m) of Fdh3 for NADP+ was measured to be 5,281 mM-1 s-1, which is the highest among NADP-dependent FDHs known to date. Structural modeling suggested that Arg204 and Arg205 of Fdh3B may contribute to the stabilization of the 2'-phosphate of NADP(H). Fdh3 could also use ferredoxin as an electron acceptor to oxidize formate with a specific activity of 0.83 U/mg. Furthermore, Fdh3 showed CO2 reduction activity using reduced ferredoxin or NADPH as an electron donor with a specific activity of 0.73 U/mg and 1.0 U/mg, respectively. These results suggest a functional role of Fdh3 in disposing of reducing equivalents by mediating electron transfer between formate and NAD(P)H or ferredoxin.
