The generation of genome-scale data is becoming more routine, yet the subsequent analysis of omics data remains a significant challenge. Here, an approach that integrates multiple omics datasets with bioinformatics tools was developed that produces a detailed annotation of several microbial genomic features. This methodology was used to characterize the genome of Thermotoga maritima--a phylogenetically deep-branching, hyperthermophilic bacterium. Experimental data were generated for whole-genome ...[more]

Project description:The analysis of fungi secreted proteins has been increasingly employed as a powerful strategy in the prospecting of new catalysts with potential biotechnological application. Since enzyme production is strongly modulated by several factors such as pH, available nutrients, water content, oxygen levels and temperature, the evaluation of growth conditions is of utmost importance to achieve optimal enzyme production. Here, a non-sequenced wood-rotting fungus, L. crinitus, was selected as a model organism for secretome analysis by means of in vitro enzymatic assays and in-depth characterization via proteomics. For enzyme production, the fungus was cultured with several types and concentrations of carbon and nitrogen sources and variable water content. Five different carbon substrates (glucose, maltose, starch, sucrose, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), glycerol and fructose) and three nitrogen containing compounds (urea, sodium nitrate and ammonium chloride) were used as substitutes of the original carbon and nitrogen sources in culture media. Interestingly, the biomass yield as well as the array of secreted proteins differed drastically under different growing conditions. A mixture of soluble secreted extracts derived from different culture conditions was analyzed both by shotgun mass spectrometry and through protein separation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) prior to identification via LC-MS/MS. Proteins were identified by sequence homology searches using mass spectrometry (MS)-driven BLAST. The spectrum of secreted enzymes comprised various types of CAZymes (carbohydrate-active enzymes), oxidase/reductases, proteases, lipase/esterases, proteins with non-related functions thereby classified as miscellany proteins and hypothetical or unknown predicted proteins. Although pre-separation by 2DE improved the number of identifications (protein map of 150 spots corresponding to 171 identifications) compared to the shotgun approach (98 identifications) both strategies revealed similar distribution of proteins within the functional categories described above. Culture media with reduced water content stimulated the expression of oxidases/reductases such as Lac, MnP, GMC oxidoreductases and glyoxal oxidase while hydrolases were induced during submerged fermentation. The diversity of proteins observed within both the CAZyme and oxidoreductase groups revealed in this fungus a powerful arsenal of enzymes dedicated to the breakdown and consumption of lignocellulose. Moreover, further secretome characterization after sequencing and analysis of the L. crinitus genome can potentially lead to the discovery of novel enzymes of industrial and biotechnological interest. Importantly, information on sequencing data could also reveal novel enzymes which production is strongly stimulated only in specific growing conditions.

Project description:RacA is the main Rho GTPase in Aspergillus niger regulating polarity maintenance via controlling actin dynamics. We have previously shown that both deletion and dominant activation of RacA (RacG18V) provoke an actin localization defect and thereby loss of polarized tip extension. This loss of apical dominance results in frequent dichotomous branching in the racA deletion strain and an apolar growing phenotype for RacG18V. In the current study we investigated the transcriptomics and physiological consequences of these morphological changes and compared the data with our previously established morphogenetic network model for the dichotomous branching mutant ramosa-1. This integrated approach revealed that polar tip growth is most likely orchestrated by the concerted activities of phospholipid signaling, sphingolipid signaling, TORC2 signaling, calcium signaling and CWI signaling pathways. The transcriptomic signatures and the reconstructed network model for all three morphology mutants imply that these pathways become integrated to bring about different physiological adaptations including changes in sterol, zinc and amino acid metabolism and changes in ion transport and protein trafficking. We furthermore followed that fate of exocytotic (SncA) and endocytotic (AbpA, SlaB) markers in the dichotomous branching racA deletion mutant, and provide data demonstrating that hyperbranching does not per se result in increased protein secretion. This data set consists of 14 samples in total and covers the genome-wide transcriptional responses of Aspergillus niger towards deletion of racA and expression of a dominant active racA allele (G18V). The genome-wide transcriptional effect of deleting racA was monitored by comparison with the A. niger wild type. For both, the racA deletion mutant and the wild type, samples consist of biological triplicates (6 in total). The genome-wide transcriptional effect of expressing the dominant active racA mutant allele was monitored by sampling 2 and 4 hours after induction with maltose. For comparison, the racA wild type allele was induced and expressed similarly and samples were taken at corresponding time points. The experimental setup for the dominant active racA expression consisted of biological triplicates (8 in total).
