Global Changes in Chlamydomonas Gene Expression Regulated by Carbon Dioxide and CIA5/CCM1

ABSTRACT: We used RNA-Seq to query the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii transcriptome for regulation by CO2 concentration and by the transcription regulator CIA5(CCM1). Both CO2 concentration and CIA5 are known to play roles in induction of an essential CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM), but the degree of interaction and the extent of global regulation beyond the CCM were not previously understood. We compared the transcriptome of a wild type strain vs. a cia5 strain under 3 CO2 supply conditions: high CO2 (H-CO2; 5%); low CO2 (L-CO2; 0.03 to 0.05%); and very-low CO2 (VL-CO2; <0.02%). Our goals were to: 1) reveal candidate genes that, through changes in their expression, distinguish multiple acclimation states induced by H-CO2, L-CO2, and VL-CO2; 2) reveal genes regulated directly or indirectly by CIA5; an
