Project description:The gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S), produced by transsulfuration pathway, in recent years has been recognized as a biological mediator playing important role under normal conditions and in various pathologies both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The transsulfuration pathway (TSP) includes the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine following the breakdown of methionine. In Drosophila melanogaster and other eukaryotes H2S is produced by cystathionine B-synthase (CBS), cystathionine y-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulftransferase (MST). In the experiments reported here we were able exploring CRISPR technique to obtain single and double deletions of these three major genes responsible for H2S production. In most cases the deletion of one studied gene does not result in the compensatory induction of two other genes responsible for H2S production. Transcriptomic studies demonstrated that the deletions of the above genes alter the genome expression to different degree with more pronounced effect exerted by deletions of CBS gene. Furthermore, the double deletion of both CBS and CSE resulted in cumulative effect on the transcription in the resulted strains. Overall, we found that the obtained deletions affected numerous genes involved in various biological pathways. Characteristically, genes involved in oxidative reduction process, stress-response genes, house-keeping genes, genes participating in olfactory and reproduction were among the most affected. Furthermore, characteristic differences in the response to the deletions of the studied genes were apparently organ specific and have clear-cut gender character. Importantly, the deletions altered global methylation and chromatin state of the experimental strains by increasing the level of inactive chromatin of the genome. Single and double deletions of the three genes responsible for the production of H2S helped to understand new aspects of biological significance of this vital physiological mediator.

Project description:To reveal the role of sulfur metabolism genes in memory formation processes, transcriptome libraries were obtained from the heads of 5-day-old naive males. The libraries were generated from Drosophila strains created in our laboratory with deleted cbs genes ( CBS-/-(5) and CBS-/-(8), cse (CSE-/-) and strains with double deletion of cbs and cse genes (CBS-/-,CSE-/-(1) and (CBS-/-,CSE-/-(2). Strain 58492, in which deletions were introduced by the CRISP/CAS9 method, was used as a control strain.

Project description:Bearing in mind the prevalent occurrence of sulfur deficiency in soils, it is highly essential to comprehend the molecular processes of plant response to the changing conditions of sulfur nutrition. As there is an increasing understanding of ubiquitin-proteasomal protein degradation system participation in nutrient deficiency response, we could predict its input to the sulfur metabolism as well. Therefore, we decided to investigate the consequences of proteasome malfunction in Arabidopsis in sulfur deficient conditions. This study presents the transcriptomic response profiles of sulfur-deficient rosettes and roots of Arabidopsis thaliana mutant plants with proteasomal malfunction.

Project description:Spaceflight induces hepatic damage, partially owing to oxidative stress caused by the space environment such as microgravity and space radiation. We examined the roles of anti-oxidative sulfur-containing compounds on hepatic damage after spaceflight. We analyzed the livers of mice on board the International Space Station for 30 days. During spaceflight, half of the mice were exposed to artificial earth gravity (1 g) using centrifugation cages. Sulfur-metabolomics of the livers of mice after spaceflight revealed a decrease in sulfur antioxidants (ergothioneine, glutathione, cysteine, taurine, thiamine, etc.) and their intermediates (cysteine sulfonic acid, hercynine, N-acethylserine, serine, etc.) compared to the controls on the ground. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing showed upregulation of gene sets related to oxidative stress and sulfur metabolism, and downregulation of gene sets related to glutathione reducibility in the livers of mice after spaceflight, compared to controls on the ground. These changes were partially mitigated by exposure to 1 g centrifugation. For the first time, we observed a decrease in sulfur antioxidants based on a comprehensive analysis of the livers of mice after spaceflight. Our data suggest that a decrease in sulfur-containing compounds owing to both microgravity and other spaceflight environments (radiation and stressors) contributes to liver damage after spaceflight.

Project description:The batch fermentation of Clostridium acetobutylicum is characterized by an acetogenic growth phase during exponential growth when mainly acetate and butyrate are fermentation products. Then, at the end of exponential growth and during stationary phase, the organism switches to solventogenic growth and large amounts of acetone, ethanol and butanol are produced. These growth phases can be studied independent from each other in a phosphate-limited continuous culture. In transcription analysis of continuous cultures using DNA microarrays it became evident that, among others, operons involved in sulfur assimilation are strongly up-regulated during solventogenesis. Using the ClosTron technique we constructed two knock-out mutants in the genes CAC0105 and CAC0930 annotated as involved in sulfate reduction and cysteine biosynthesis. Complementation experiments were carried out with sulfite and cysteine to prove the predicted function. The fermentation experiments of wild type and mutants using phosphate-limited and sulfur-limited continuous culture demonstrated that less sulfur source was consumed in solventogenic phase and the efficiency of cysteine uptake became lower. DNA microarrays were performed to study the difference of transcriptional expression when the wild type was challenged with insufficient sulfur source and the mccB (CAC0930) mutant was inactivated in the continuous culture. The result provided insights into understanding the sulfur metabolism regulatory.

Project description:Mutations in the cysB, sconB and sconC genes affect sulfur metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans in different ways. Mutation of cysB blocks synthesis of cysteine by the main pathway leaving only the less effective alternative route. Mutations of sconB or sconC affect subunits of the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex, a negative controller of METR transcription factor, resulting in specific activation of a number of sulfur assimilation and metabolism genes, ultimately leading to elevated levels of cysteine and glutathione in scon mutants. We compared transcriptomes of these three mutants with that of a wild type strain finding that expression of a few hundred genes is altered at least twofold indicating a major reorganization of cellular metabolism. Despite the different effects of the cysB and scon mutations on sulfur metabolism they affect expression of overlapping sets of genes. We identified categories of the Functional Catalogue assigned to the differentially expressed genes and selected categories most enriched among the up- and down-regulated gene groups. Besides those involved in sulfur metabolism, many up-regulated genes are related to stress responses. The two-component signal transduction system is most enriched in genes up-regulated in the cysB, sconB and sconC mutants. This category contains histidine kinases that sense and transduce environmental signals to a cascade of protein kinases. Genes encoding heat shock proteins are also up-regulated, as are genes of the glutamate degradation pathway. The latter, also known as the GABA shunt, is induced by oxidative stress. A large group of up-regulated genes are involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism, including genes coding for enzymes of trehalose and glycerol synthesis. Genes coding for enzymes of alcohol fermentation, which are induced in response to anaerobic stress, are also up-regulated in the mutants studied. The altered expression of the carbohydrate metabolism genes is accompanied by changes in sugar accumulation in mycelia and conidia of the mutants. Among the down-regulated genes the most numerous are those encoding membrane proteins and enzymes involved in secondary metabolism, including the penicillin biosynthesis cluster. Genes coding for lysozyme are down-regulated too. As secondary metabolites often inhibit growth of other organisms, lowered expression of genes responsible for their synthesis suggests a decreased response to biotic stress in the mutants studied. Comparison of transcriptomes of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans strains bearing mutations in the cysB, sconB or sconC genes, affecting sulfur metabolism in different ways, with that of the wild type (WT) strain. Three biological replicates of WT vs cysB and WT vs sconC comparisons were performed and four biological replicates of WT vs sconB comparison were done. Each biological replicate had two technical replicates with dye swapping. A total of twenty individual hybridizations were made.

Project description:Desulfurella amilsii is an acidotolerant sulfur-reducing bacterium isolated from sediments of an acidic river. It can grow in a broad range of pH and can obtain energy via respiring elemental sulfur or thiosulfate, as well as by disproportionating elemental sulfur. Its genome encodes the enzyme sulfur reductase, and several rhodanese-like proteins, possibly playing a role in sulfur respiration and disproportionation. Thiosulfate reductase and dissimilatory sulfite reductase are encoded and might play a role during the respiration of thiosulfate. The involvement of these enzymes in the reductive routes of sulfur metabolism is not yet clearly understood. Desulfurella amilsii was used in this study to combine strategies for sulfur metabolism research on the protein level to shed some light on the pathways involved in the metabolism of this microorganism.
