Project description:The acquisition of thermally tolerant algal symbionts by corals has been proposed as a natural or assisted mechanism of increasing coral reef resilience to anthropogenic climate change, but the cell-level processes determining the performance of new symbiotic associations are poorly understood. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate the effects of an experimentally-induced symbiosis on the host proteome of the model sea anemone Exaiptasia pallida. Aposymbiotic specimens were colonised by either the homologous dinoflagellate symbiont (Breviolum minutum) or a thermally tolerant, ecologically invasive heterologous symbiont (Durusdinium trenchii). Anemones containing D. trenchii exhibited minimal expression of Niemann-Pick C2 proteins, which have predicted biochemical roles in sterol transport and cell recognition, and glutamine synthetases, which are thought to be involved in nitrogen assimilation and recycling between partners. D. trenchii-colonised anemones had higher expression of methionine-synthesizing betaine–homocysteine S-methyltransferases and proteins with predicted oxidative stress response functions. Multiple lysosome-associated proteins were less abundant in both symbiotic treatments compared with the aposymbiotic treatment. The differentially abundant proteins are predicted to represent pathways that may be involved in nutrient transport or resource allocation between partners. These results provide targets for specific experiments to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning compensatory physiology in the coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis.

Project description:Cellular mechanisms responsible for the regulation of nutrient exchange, immune responses, and symbiont population growth in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis are poorly resolved, particularly with respect to the dinoflagellate symbiont. Here, we characterised proteomic changes in the native symbiont Breviolum minutum during colonisation of its host sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (‘Aiptasia’). We also compared the proteome of this native symbiont in the established symbiotic state with that of a non-native symbiont, Durusdinium trenchii. The onset of symbiosis between Aiptasia and B. minutum induced increased accumulation of symbiont proteins associated with acquisition of inorganic carbon and photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, micro- and macronutrient starvation, suppression of the host immune responses, tolerance to low pH, and management of oxidative stress. Such responses are consistent with a functional, persistent symbiosis. In contrast, D. trenchii predominantly showed elevated levels of immunosuppressive proteins, consistent with the view that this symbiont is an opportunist that forms a less beneficial, less well-integrated symbiosis with this model anemone. By adding this analyses of the symbiont proteins to the already known responses of the host proteome, our results provide a more holistic view of cellular processes that determine host-symbiont specificity and how differences in symbiont partners, native versus non-native symbionts, may impact the fitness of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis in response to thermal stress. This PRIDE entry contains the Breviolum minutum data; Durusdinium trenchii data are uploaded in a separate entry with identical parameters.

Project description:The physiology and cellular mechanisms of the dinoflagellate symbionts of cnidarians, the Symbiodiniaceae, change as a response to symbiosis, nutrient availability, and their surrounding microhabitat, but the underlying processes are poorly understood. Here, we employed liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry-based proteomics to elucidate the changes associated with the symbiotic and nutritional states of Breviolum minutum, a native symbiont of the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana. Both symbiosis and nutritional state had significant impacts on the B. minutum proteome. B. minutum in hospite showed increased abundance of proteins that are involved in phosphoinositol manipulation (e.g., glycerophosphoinositol permease 1 and phosphatidylinositol phosphatase), potentially as a means of interpartner signalling to prevent host phagosomal maturation. Proteins involved in carbon concentration and fixation (e.g. carbonic anhydrase, V-type ATPase) and nitrogen assimilation (e.g. glutamine synthase) were upregulated in ex hospite B. minutum, possibly due to nitrogen limitation by host in hospite and a lack of host carbon concentration mechanisms when ex hospite, respectively. Photosystem proteins increased in abundance at high nutrient levels, as were proteins involved in antioxidant mechanisms (e.g. superoxide dismutase, glutathione s-transferase). Proteins involved in iron metabolism was also affected by nutrient state, indicating increased iron demand and uptake in low nutrient treatments. These results provide better insight on the cellular mechanisms of symbiosis and provides potential target pathways for investigating a functional cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis.
