MicroRNA-mediated regulation of lipid metabolism in virus-infected Emiliania huxleyi.

ABSTRACT: The interactions between Emiliania huxleyi and E. huxleyi virus (EhV) regulate marine carbon and sulfur biogeochemical cycles and play a prominent role in global climate change. As a large DNA virus, EhV has developed a novel "virocell metabolism" model to meet its high metabolic needs. Although it has been widely demonstrated that EhV infection can profoundly rewire lipid metabolism, the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of lipid metabolism are still obscure. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate biological pathways by targeting hub genes in the metabolic processes. In this study, the transcriptome, lipidome, and miRNAome were applied to investigate the epigenetic regulation of lipid metabolism in E. huxleyi cells during a detailed time course of viral infection.
