Transcriptional response of the extremophile red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae to changes in CO2 concentrations

ABSTRACT: Cyanidioschyzon merolae (C. merolae) is an acidophilic red alga growing in a naturally low carbon dioxide (CO2) environment. Although it uses a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase with high affinity for CO2, the survival of C. merolae relies on functional photorespiratory metabolism. In this study, we quantified the transcriptomic response of C. merolae to changes in CO2 conditions. We found distinct changes upon shifts between CO2 conditions, such as a concerted up-regulation of photorespiratory genes and responses to carbon starvation. We used the transcriptome data set to explore a hypothetical CO2 concentrating mechanism in C. merolae, based on the assumption that photorespiratory genes and possible candidate genes involved in a CO2 concentrating mechanism are co-expressed. A putative bicarbonate transport protein and two α-carbonic anhydrases were identified, which showed enhanced transcript levels under reduced CO2 conditions. Genes encoding enzymes of a PEP-CK-type C4 pathway were co-regulated with the photorespiratory gene cluster. We propose a model of a hypothetical low CO2 compensation mechanism in C. merolae integrating these low CO2-inducible components.

Photorespiration is crucial to the dynamic response of photosynthetic metabolism and stomatal movement to altered CO2 availability

Project description:The photorespiratory pathway, short photorespiration, is an essential process in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms but also reduces the efficiency of photosynthetic carbon assimilation and is hence frequently considered as a wasteful process. By comparing the response of wild-type plants and mutants impaired in photorespiration to a shift in ambient CO2 concentrations, we demonstrate that photorespiration also plays a beneficial role during short-term acclimation to reduced CO2 availability. Wild-type plants responded with few differentially expressed genes, mostly involved in drought stress, which is likely a consequence of enhanced opening of stomata and concomitant water loss upon shift toward low CO2. In contrast, mutants with impaired activity of photorespiratory enzymes were highly stressed and not able to adjust stomatal conductance to reduced external CO2 availability. The mutants´ transcriptional response was congruent, indicating a general reprogramming to deal with the consequences of reduced CO2 availability, signaled by enhanced oxygenation of ribulose-1,5 bisphosphate and amplified by the artificially impaired photorespiratory metabolism. Central in this reprogramming was the pronounced reallocation of resources from growth processes to stress responses. In conclusion, we demonstrate that unrestricted photorespiratory metabolism is a prerequisite for rapid physiological acclimation to a reduction in CO2 availability.

RNA-seq analysis of the transcriptional response to blue and red light in the extremophilic red alga, Cyanidioschyzon merolae

Project description:Light is one of the main environmental cues that affects the physiology and behavior of many organisms. The effect of light on genome-wide transcriptional regulation has been well-studied in green algae and plants, but not in red algae. Cyanidioschyzon merolae is used as a model red algae, and is suitable for studies on transcriptomics because of its compact genome with a relatively small number of genes. In addition, complete genome sequences of the nucleus, mitochondrion, and chloroplast of this organism have been determined. Together, these attributes make C. merolae an ideal model organism to study the response to light stimuli at the transcriptional and the systems biology levels. Previous studies have shown that light significantly affects cell signaling in this organism, but there are no reports on its blue light- and red light-mediated transcriptional responses. We investigated the direct effects of blue and red light at the transcriptional level using RNA-seq. Blue and red light were found to regulate 35% of the total genes in C. merolae. Blue light affected the transcription of genes involved protein synthesis while red light specifically regulated the transcription of genes involved in photosynthesis and DNA repair. Blue or red light regulated genes involved in carbon metabolism and pigment biosynthesis. Overall, our data showed that red and blue light regulate the majority of the cellular, cell division, and repair processes in C. merolae. Identification of blue light and red light regulated genes by deep sequencing in biological duplicates. qRT-PCR was performed to verify the RNA-seq results.

Response of Prochlorococcus to varying CO2:O2 ratios

Project description:Carbon fixation plays a central role in determining cellular redox poise, increasingly understood to be a key parameter in cyanobacterial physiology. In the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus--—the most abundant phototroph in the oligotrophic oceans--—the carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is reduced to the bare essentials. Given the ability of Prochlorococcus populations to grow under a wide range of oxygen concentrations in the ocean, we wondered how carbon and oxygen physiology intersect in this minimal phototroph. We monitored genome-wide transcription in cells shocked with acute limitation of CO2, O2, or both. O2 limitation produced much smaller transcriptional changes than the broad suppression seen under CO2 limitation and CO2/O2 co-limitation. Strikingly, the transcriptional responses evoked by both CO2 limitation conditions were initially similar to that previously seen in high light stress, but at later timepoints we observed O2-dependent recovery of photosynthesis-related transcripts. These results suggest that oxygen plays a protective role in Prochlorococcus when carbon fixation is not a sufficient sink for light energy. Two biological replicates of timecourses under four conditions: medium bubbled with air (control) or three experimental gases (low CO2; low O2; or low CO2 and low O2)

Comparison of carboxysomal (ccmM) and photorespiratory (glcD1/D2) mutants of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 using metabolic and transcriptomic phenotyping

Project description:The general acclimation of cyanobacteria to low carbon (LC) conditions includes coordinated alterations of gene expression and metabolism. To analyze possible signals for LC sensing and compensating reactions, we compared wild-type (WT) cells with two mutants of Synechocystis, the carboxysome-less mutant ccmM and the photorespiratory mutant ΔglcD1/D2. Metabolic phenotyping revealed that the mutant ΔccmM accumulated high 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG) levels while the ΔglcD1/D2 mutant accumulated glycolate, indicating oxygenase activity of RubisCO at high carbon (HC). The changes in the metabolite spectrum were compared to alterations in the global gene expression pattern. Cells of HC-grown mutants ΔccmM and ΔglcD1/D2 showed altered mRNA levels for many genes involved in photosynthesis, high light stress, and N-assimilation, while LC-specific genes such as those for inorganic carbon (Ci) transporters were not increased. After a shift to LC, mutant ΔglcD1/D2 revealed gene expression changes similar to WT cells, while mutant ΔccmM showed no differential expression of most LC-induced genes under identical conditions. In fact, none of the genes for Ci transporters or other components of the carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) displayed higher transcript levels in the ΔccmM mutant. This finding renders a direct role for 2PG as a metabolic signal component for the induction of CCM during LC acclimation less likely. Because, the transcription pattern of ΔglcD1/D2 under LC showed specific differences compared to WT, a potential role for glycolate as a signal molecule that may trigger expression of parts of the CCM is proposed. Transcriptional profiling of carboxysomal and photorespiratory mutants of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under high carbon (HC) and low carbon (LC) conditions relative to the wildtype response.

Photorespiratory stress low CO2 conditions

Project description:Six weeks old Arabidopsis plants were transferred to a low CO2 (100 ppm) environment during 24 hours and compared to control plants kept under ambient CO2 conditions. Limited CO2 availability will cause higher rates of photorespiration and affect the plant redox homeostasis. We studied the transcriptomic impact of exposing plants to a lower CO2 environment to further eliculidate the signaling pathways during photorespiratory stress.
