Surviving Martian Brines: Proteomic Analysis of Escherichia coli’s Adaptation to Perchlorate Stress

Project description:Brines, potentially formed by the deliquescence and freezing point depression of highly hygroscopic salts, such as perchlorates (ClO4-), may allow for the spatial and temporal stability of liquid water on present-day Mars. It is therefore of great interest to explore the microbial habitability of Martian brines, for which our current understanding is, however, still limited. Putative microbes growing in the perchlorate-rich Martian regolith may be harmed due to the induction of various stressors including osmotic, chaotropic, and oxidative stress. We adapted the model organism Escherichia coli to increasing sodium perchlorate concentrations and used a proteomic approach to identify the adaptive phenotype. Separately, the microbe was adapted to elevated concentrations of NaCl and glycerol, which enabled us to distinguish perchlorate-specific adaptation mechanisms from those in response to osmotic, ion and water activity stress. We found that the perchlorate-specific stress-response focused on pathways alleviating damage to nucleic acids, presumably caused by increased chaotropic and/ or oxidative stress. The significant enrichments that have been found include DNA repair, RNA methylation and de novo IMP biosynthesis. Our study provides insights into the adaptive mechanisms necessary for microorganisms to survive under perchlorate stress, with implications for understanding the habitability of Martian brines.

Perchlorate-Specific Proteomic Stress Responses of Debaryomyces hansenii Could Enable Microbial Survival in Martian Brines

Project description:If life exists on Mars, it would face several challenges including the presence of perchlorates, which destabilize biomacromolecules by inducing chaotropic stress. However, little is known about perchlorate toxicity for microorganism on the cellular level. Here we present a proteomic investigation on the perchlorate-specific stress responses of the halotolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii and compare these to generally known salt stress adaptations. We found that the responses to NaCl and NaClO4-induced stresses share many common metabolic features, e.g., signaling pathways, elevated energy metabolism, or osmolyte biosynthesis. However, several new perchlorate-specific stress responses could be identified, such as protein glycosylation and cell wall remodulations, presumably in order to stabilize protein structures and the cell envelope. These stress responses would also be relevant for life on Mars, which - given the environmental conditions - likely developed chaotropic defense strategies such as stabilized confirmations of biomacromolecules and the formation of cell clusters.
