Project description:Many toxins and stressors found in hydrolysates inhibit microbial metabolism and product formation, requiring mitigation strategies including strain engineering. To identify mechanisms of toxicity and targets for genetic engineering, we used a chemical genomics approach with a library of S. cerevisiae deletion mutants cultured anaerobically in dozens of individual compounds found in different types of hydrolysates, to explore shared and divergent gene requirements across inhibitors. Relationships in chemical-genomic profiles identified classes of toxins that provoked similar cellular responses, spanning inhibitor relationships that were not expected from chemical classification. Our results also revealed widespread antagonistic effects across inhibitors, such that the same gene deletions are beneficial for surviving some toxins but detrimental for others. As a proof of principle, we used the gene-deletion responses to single inhibitors to successfully predict strains whose fitness was improved in complex inhibitor mixes found in synthetic hydrolysates. We discuss the implications for strain engineering and the potential of this rich dataset for identifying engineering targets.

Project description:Here, we explored natural variation in stress tolerance and in transcriptomic responses to synthetic hydrolysate, mimicking chemically pretreated plant material, to dissect the physiological effects hydrolysate components. Using six different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that together maximized phenotypic and genetic diversity, we explored transcriptomic differences between resistant and sensitive strains. We identified both common and strain-specific responses. Comparing responses of resistant and sensitive strains provided insights about primary cellular targets of hydrolysate toxins, implicating cell wall structure, protein and DNA stability, energy stores and redox balance. Importantly, we uncovered lower expression of thiamine genes while in the presence of toxins, which we argue are most likely an indirect effect that increases sensitivity. We also demonstrate synergistic interactions between the nutrient composition, osmolarity, pH, and classes of hydrolysate toxins. Together, this work provides a platform for further dissecting hydrolysate toxins and strain responses. RNA-seq and transcriptome analysis of six S. cerevisiae natural isolates having different resistant to lignocellulosic hydrolysate. Two biological replicate cell samples (collected on different days) were harvested for RNAseq analysis. Strains were grown in YPD, synthetic hydrolysate without toxins (SynH -HTs), and synthetic hydrolysate with toxins (SynH). Cells were grown for at least three generations to log phase (OD600 ~0.5) and collected by centrifugation.

Project description:Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as complex mixtures. Here, Daphnia magna were exposed for 24 hours to five different munitions constituents 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), trinitrobenzene (TNB), dinitrobenzene (DNB), or 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX) as well as to 8 different munitions mixtures and ground water contaminated with munitions constituents. To better understand possible mixture effects, gene expression changes from all treatments were compared using high-density microarrays. While mixtures and ground water exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the non-additivity of chemical effects in these mixtures.

While mixtures and ground water exposures had genes and gene functions in common with single chemical exposures, unique functions were also affected, which was consistent with the non-additivity of chemical effects in these mixtures. The study consisted of three different experiments: (1) exposure to a concentration corresponding to 70% of 1/10th of the LC50 value of six individual MCs (TNT, 2,4-DNT, 2,6-DNT, DNB, TNB, RDX) and a control; (2) exposure to eight different laboratory mixtures of the previously mentioned MCs. Different combinations of MCs including four mixtures (Mixtures 5, 6, 7 and 8) representative of field collected groundwater from LAAP (Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant) were created; and (3) exposure to MC-contaminated ground water field-collected from 3 different wells (85, 108, and 141) at the LAAP. All exposures were conducted for 24h.

Project description:CRISPR interference screening of 129 protein kinases and 161 transcription factors in S. cerevisiae. Repression effects on yeast growth in oxygen-limited conditions were quantified in synthetic complete media (SCM), SCM supplemented with 10% lignocellulose hydrolysate and SCM supplemented with 45% of a mixture of growth-inhibiting lignocellulosic compounds. The aim of this project was to determine the reproducibility of CRISPRi effects across studies and to characterize CRISPRi for screening of phenotypes relevant for industrial biotechnology. We identify gene functions in general growth in oxygen-limited conditions, and specific for cellular fitness in lignocellulose hydrolysate. A further screen with a cocktail of lignocellulosic compounds enables us to explain hydrolysate-specific gene functions with roles in toxicity.

Project description:To reach an economically feasible bioethanol process from lignocellulose, efficient fermentation by yeast of all sugars present in the hydrolysate has to be achieved. However, when exposed to lignocellulosic hydrolysate, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is challenged with a variety of inhibitors that reduce yeast viability, growth and fermentation rate, and in addition damage cellular structures. In order to evaluate the yeast capability to adapt to lignocellulosic hydrolysates and to investigate the yeast molecular response to inhibitors, fed-batch cultivation of an industrial S. cerevisiae strain was performed using either spruce hydrolysate or a sugar medium as feed. The physiological effects of cultivating yeast in spruce hydrolysate was comprehensively studied by assessment of yeast performance in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), measurement of furaldehyde reduction activity, assessment of conversion of phenolic compounds and genome wide transcription analysis. The yeast cultivated in spruce hydrolysate developed a rapid adaptive response to lignocellulosic hydrolysate, which significantly improved its fermentation performance in subsequent SSF experiments. Yeast adaptation to hydrolysate was shown to involve induction of NADPH-dependent aldehyde reduction activity and conversion of phenolic compounds during the fed-batch cultivation and these properties were correlated to the expression of several genes encoding oxido-reductase activities, notably AAD4, ADH6, OYE2/3 and YML131w. The other most significant transcriptional changes involved genes involved in transport mechanisms, such as YHK8, FLR1 or ATR1. A large set of genes were found to be associated to transcription factors involved in stress response (Msn2p, Msn4p, Yap1p but also cell growth and division (Gcr4p, Ste12p, Sok2p) that were most likely activated at the post-transcriptional level.

Project description:Dietary collagen hydrolysate has been conjectured to improve skin barrier function. To investigate the effect of long-term collagen hydrolysate administration on the skin, we evaluated stratum corneum water content and skin elasticity in intrinsic aged mice. Female 9-week-old hairless mice were fed a control diet, or a collagen hydrolysate-containing diet, for 12 weeks. The stratum corneum water content and skin elasticity were sequentially decreased by chronological aging in control mice. Intake of collagen hydrolysate significantly suppressed such changes. Moreover, we comprehensively analyzed gene expression in the skin of mouse, which had been administered collagen hydrolysate, using DNA microarray. Twelve weeks after start of collagen intake, no significant differences appeared in gene expression profile compared to that of control group. However, 12 weeks after administration, 135 genes were up-regulated and 448 genes were down-regulated in collagen group compared to control group. It is indicate that gene changes preceded changes of barrier function and elasticity. We focused on several genes correlated with functional changes in the skin. Gene Ontology terms, especially related to epidermal cell development, were significantly enriched in up-regulated genes. These skin function-related genes had properties that facilitate epidermal production and differentiation and suppress dermal degradation. Thus, dietary collagen hydrolysate induced positive gene changes. In conclusion, our results suggest that alteration of gene expression at early stages after collagen administration affect skin barrier function and mechanical properties. Long-term oral intake of collagen hydrolysate improves skin dysfunction by regulating genes related to production and maintenance of the skin tissue.
