Project description:The salinity gradient separating marine and freshwater environments is a major ecological divide, and the mechanisms by which most organisms adapt to new salinity environments are poorly understood. Diatoms are a lineage of ancestrally marine microalgae that have repeatedly colonized and diversified in freshwaters. Cyclotella cryptica is a euryhaline diatom that naturally tolerates a broad range of salinities, thus providing a powerful system for understanding the genomic mechanisms for mitigating and acclimating to low salinity. To understand how diatoms mitigate acute hypoosmotic stress, we abruptly shifted C. cryptica from seawater to freshwater and performed transcriptional profiling at 8 time points across 10 hours. We found substantial remodeling of the transcriptome, with over half of the genome differentially expressed in at least one time point. The peak response occurred within 1 hour, with strong repression of genes involved in functions related to cell growth and osmolyte production, and strong induction of genes implicated in stress defense such as scavenging reactive oxygen species and maintaining osmotic balance. Notably, transcripts largely returned to baseline levels within 4–10 hours, with growth resuming shortly thereafter, suggesting that gene expression dynamics may be useful for predicting acclimation. Moreover, comparison to a study of expression profiling following months-long acclimation of C. cryptica to freshwater revealed little overlap between the genes and processes differentially expressed in cells exposed to acute stress versus fully acclimated conditions. Altogether, this study highlights the power of time-resolved transcriptomics to reveal fundamental insights into how cells dynamically respond to an acute environmental shift and provides new insights into how diatoms mitigate natural salinity fluctuations and have successfully diversified across freshwater habitats worldwide.

Project description:Diatoms are responsible for ~40% of marine primary productivity1, fueling the oceanic carbon cycle and contributing to natural carbon sequestration in the deep ocean2. Diatoms rely on energetically expensive carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to fix carbon efficiently at modern levels of CO23–5. How diatoms may respond over the short and long-term to rising atmospheric CO2 remains an open question. Here we use nitrate-limited chemostats to show that the model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana rapidly responds to increasing CO2 by differentially expressing gene clusters that regulate transcription and chromosome folding and subsequently reduces transcription of photosynthesis and respiration gene clusters under steady-state elevated CO2. These results suggest that exposure to elevated CO2 first causes a shift in regulation and then a metabolic rearrangement. Genes in one CO2-responsive cluster included CCM and photorespiration genes that share a putative cyclic-AMP responsive cis-regulatory sequence, implying these genes are co-regulated in response to CO2 with cAMP as an intermediate messenger. We verified cAMP-induced down-regulation of CCM gene δ-CA3 in nutrient-replete diatom cultures by inhibiting the hydrolysis of cAMP. These results indicate an important role for cAMP in down-regulating CCM and photorespiration genes under elevated CO2 and provide insights into mechanisms of diatom acclimation in response to climate change.

Project description:We have investigated both the response to prolonged darkness and the re-acclimation to “moderate intensity” white irradiance (E = 100 µmol m-2 s-1) in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, using an integrated approach involving global transcriptional profiling, pigment analyses, imaging and photo-physiological measurements. The responses were studied during continuous white light, after 48 h of dark treatment and after 0.5 h, 6 h, and 24 h of re-exposure to the initial irradiance.

Genes in one CO2-responsive cluster included CCM and photorespiration genes that share a putative cyclic-AMP responsive cis-regulatory sequence, implying these genes are co-regulated in response to CO2 with cAMP as an intermediate messenger. We verified cAMP-induced down-regulation of CCM gene ?-CA3 in nutrient-replete diatom cultures by inhibiting the hydrolysis of cAMP. These results indicate an important role for cAMP in down-regulating CCM and photorespiration genes under elevated CO2 and provide insights into mechanisms of diatom acclimation in response to climate change. In steady-state experiments: axenic T. pseudonana cells in four biological replicates (duplicate chemostats x 2 experimental runs) were acclimated to nitrate-limitation at 70% (1.5 day-1) of max growth rate for >10 days (>15 generations) under continuous light of 80 µmol photons·m?2·s?1. Cell biomass was maintained at ~2 x 105 cells·mL?1 by 10 ?M nitrate and carbonate chemistry stabilized to 300, 475 or 800 ?atm CO2, verified by pH and DIC measurements. Transition samples and carbonate chemistry were collected daily from chemostat cultures as CO2 levels were increased from ~300-800 ?atm at a rate ? 0.2 ?atm·min?1 over four consecutive days (6 generations) after pre-acclimation to 300 ?atm CO2 and nitrate-limitation.

Project description:Photosynthetic diatoms are exposed to rapid and unpredictable changes in irradiance and spectral quality, and must be able to adapt their light harvesting systems to varying light conditions. Molecular mechanisms behind light acclimation in diatoms are largely unknown. We set out to investigate the mechanisms of high light acclimation in Phaeodactylum tricornutum using an integrated approach involving global transcriptional profiling, metabolite profiling and variable fluorescence technique. Algae cultures were acclimated to low light (LL), after which the cultures were transferred to high light (HL). Molecular, metabolic and physiological responses were studied at time points 0.5 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after transfer to HL conditions. The integrated results indicate that the acclimation mechanisms in diatoms can be divided into an initial response phase (0.5 h), an intermediate acclimation phase (3-12 h) and a late acclimation phase (12-48 h). The initial phase is recognized by strong and rapid regulation of genes encoding proteins involved in photosynthesis, pigment metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging systems. A significant increase in light protecting metabolites occur together with the induction of transcriptional processes involved in protection of cellular structures at this early phase. During the following phases, the metabolite profiling display a pronounced decrease in light harvesting pigments, whereas the variable fluorescence measurements show that the photosynthetic capacity increases strongly during the late acclimation phase. We show that P. tricornutum is capable of swift and efficient execution of photoprotective mechanisms, followed by changes in the composition of the photosynthetic machinery that enable the diatoms to utilize the excess energy available in HL. Central molecular players in light protection and acclimation to high irradiances have been identified. The experiment was designed as a time series, with diatom cultures were harvested at time points 0.5 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after transfer to high light conditions. The reference samples were kept at low light and harvested in parallel with the treated samples. Three biological replicates were harvested for all samples.

Project description:The photosynthetic capacity of mature leaves increases upon exposing plants to continuous or intermittent high light (HL). This is termed dynamic acclimation, which is an important determinant of plant productivity. We hypothesized that genes coding for transcription regulators (TRs), which respond rapidly (≤1h) and transiently to HL, initiate dynamic acclimation. To find such genes, a highly replicated time series transcriptomic dataset was generated from leaf 7 of low light (LL)-grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants subjected to HL for up to 6h. This revealed 3844 HL-responsive differentially expressed genes (DEGs). 49 transiently HL-induced TR DEGs were selected for Bayesian modeling, which revealed that B-BOX TRANSCRIPTION (CO) FACTOR32 (BBX32) was the most connected gene in an inferred network. Dynamic acclimation was elicited in Arabidopsis Col-0 by exposure to daily 4h HL over 5 days. Using this procedure on over-expressing (OE) and null mutant plants, it was shown that BBX32 is a negative regulator of dynamic acclimation. The same modeling connected BBX32 to the TR gene LONG HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), but unlike BBX32, HY5 was shown to positively regulate dynamic acclimation. The severely diminished response to daily HL of BBX32–OE/hy5 plants suggest that in wild type plants, BBX32 and HY5 exert a balanced, flexible and complete regulation of dynamic acclimation.

Project description:We have investigated both the response to prolonged darkness and the re-acclimation to M-bM-^@M-^\moderate intensityM-bM-^@M-^] white irradiance (E = 100 M-BM-5mol m-2 s-1) in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, using an integrated approach involving global transcriptional profiling, pigment analyses, imaging and photo-physiological measurements. The responses were studied during continuous white light, after 48 h of dark treatment and after 0.5 h, 6 h, and 24 h of re-exposure to the initial irradiance. The cultures were incubated at 15C under cool white fluorescent light at a scalar irradiance (EPAR) of ~100 M-BM-5mol m-2 s-1 under continuous white light (CWL) conditions. The cultures were dark-treated for 48 h (DT) before re-exposure to the previous light conditions for 0.5 h, 6 h or 24 h (WL 0.5, 6 and 24 h). Sampling of CWL cultures and DT cultures were performed in addition to the sampling at the WL incubation times of 0.5 h, 6 h, and 24 h. Three biological replicas for each of the five treatments were harvested.
