Project description:Abstract Hypersaline lakes are of immense ecological value as they niche some of the most exclusive extremophilic communities dominated by bacterial and archaeal domains, with few eukaryotic algal representatives. A handful reports describe Picocystis as a key primary producer with great production rates in extremely saline habitats. An extremely haloalkaliphilic picoalgal strain, Picocystis salinarum SLJS6 isolated from hypersaline lake Sambhar, Rajasthan, India, grew robustly in an enriched soda lake medium containing mainly Na2CO3, 50 g/L; NaHCO3, 50g/L, NaCl, 50 g/L (salinity ≈150 ‰) at pH 10. To elucidate the molecular basis of such tolerance to high inorganic carbon and NaCl concentrations, a high-throughput LFQ (label-free quantitation) based quantitative proteomics approach was applied. Out of the total 383 proteins identified in treated samples, 225 were Differentially abundant proteins (DAPs), of which 150 were statistically significant (p value <0.05) including 70 upregulated and 64 downregulated proteins after 3 days of salt and alkalinity stress. Gene ontology analysis was done to annotate and classify the DAPs into functional groups. The analysis linked most DAPs to photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, glucose metabolism and ribosomal structural components envisaging that photosynthesis and ATP synthesis were central to the alkalinity-salinity response. Key components of photosynthetic machinery like photosystem reaction centres, ATP synthase, Rubisco, Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase were significantly upregulated. Enzymes Peptidylprolyl isomerases (PPIase), important for correct protein folding showed remarkable marked-up regulation along with other chaperon proteins indicating their role in alleviating stress. Enhanced photosynthetic activity exhibited by Picocystis salinarum in highly saline-alkaline condition is noteworthy as photosynthesis is suppressed by salt stress in most photosynthetic organisms. This study provided the first evidence of a tailored regulatory mechanism of alkalinity and salt tolerance in extremophilic alga P. salinarum, potentially unraveling the basis of resilience in this not so known organism and paves the way for a promising future production host and model or¬ganism for deciphering the molecular mechanisms of os¬motic stress responses.

Project description:The microscopic alga Picocystis sp. strain ML is responsible for recurrent algal blooms in Mono Lake, CA. This organism was characterized by only very little molecular data, despite its prominence as a primary producer in saline environments. Here, we report the draft genome sequence for Picocystis sp. strain ML based on long-read sequencing.

Project description:Background: Ependymomas encompass multiple, clinically relevant tumor types based on localization and molecular profiles. Although tumors of the methylation class “spinal ependymoma” (SP-EPN) represent the most common intramedullary neoplasms in children and adults, their developmental origin is ill-defined, molecular data are scarce, and the potential heterogeneity within SP-EPN remains unexplored. The only known recurrent genetic events in SP-EPN are loss of chromosome 22q and NF2 mutations, but neither types and frequency of these alterations nor their clinical meaning have been described in a large, epigenetically defined series. Methods: We mapped SP-EPN transcriptomes (n=76) to developmental atlases of the developing and adult spinal cord to uncover potential developmental origins of these tumors. In addition, transcriptomic, epigenetic (n=234), genetic (n=140), and clinical analyses (n=115) were integrated for a detailed overview on this entity. Results: Integration of transcriptomic ependymoma data with single-cell atlases of the spinal cord identified mature adult ependymal cells to display highest similarities to SP-EPN. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of tumor data together with integrated analysis of methylation profiles identified two molecular SP-EPN subtypes. Subtype 1 predominantly contained NF2 wild type sequences with regular NF2 expression but revealed more extensive copy number alterations. Subtype 2 harbored previously known germline or sporadic NF2 mutations and was NF2-deficient in most cases, more often showed multilocular disease, and demonstrated a significantly reduced progression-free survival. Conclusion: Based on integrated molecular profiling of a large tumor series we identify two distinct SP-EPN subtypes with important implications for genetic counseling, patient surveillance, and drug development priorities.
