Investigation of ctitrinin and pigment biosynthesis mechanisms in Monascus purpureus by transcriptomic analysis

ABSTRACT: M. purpureus YY-1 is widely used in food colorant production in China. In our previous study, the whole-genome information of YY-1 was clearly illustrated, which provided useful hints for evolution esearch and industrial applications. However, the presence of citrinin, which has nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, and carcinogenic activities, attracts people′s attention to the safety of Monascus products. In order to reduce the harm of citrinin in Monascus related products, in this study, a random mutant of M. purpureus YY-1, with scarce citrinin production (designated as winter) was obtained. To analyze the biosynthesis and regulation mechanism of pigment and citrinin, transcriptomic analysis of M. purpureus YY-1 and winter was performed. Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals pksCT, the essential gene for citrinin synthesis, showed low expression level in M. purpureus YY-1 and winter, which suggested there might be isoenzymes in M. purpureus YY-1 that were responsible for the citrinin synthesis during evolution. In addition, the expression change of transcription factors may also influence the regulatory network of citrinin synthesis pathway of in M. purpureus. Moreover, the yields of pigments produced by the winter mutant were significantly increased. Repressing central carbon metabolism and improving the acetyl-CoA pool can contribute to the high yield of pigments, and enhanced NADPH regeneration also lead the metabolic flux to pigments in M. purpureus. Investigations on biosynthesis and regulation of citrinin and pigment production in M purpureus will enhance our knowledge of the mechanisms in fungal secondary metabolite biosynthesis.

Chlorophyll biosynthesis under the control of arginine metabolism

Project description:In natural environments, photosynthetic organisms adjust their metabolism to cope with the fluctuating availability of combined nitrogen-sources, a growth limiting factor. For the acclimation, the dynamic degradation/synthesis of tetrapyrrolic pigments as well as of the amino acid arginine is pivotal; however, there was no evidence that these processes could be functionally coupled. Using co-immunopurification and spectral shift assays we found that in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 the arginine-related ArgD and CphB enzymes form protein complexes with Gun4, an essential factor for chlorophyll biosynthesis. Gun4 binds ArgD with high affinity, and the ArgD-Gun4 complex strongly accumulates in cells supplemented with ornithine, a key intermediate of the arginine pathway. Elevated ornithine levels restricted de novo synthesis of tetrapyrrolic pigments, which arrested the recovery from nitrogen deficiency. Our data reveals a direct cross-talk between tetrapyrrole biosynthesis and arginine metabolism that clarifies the importance of balancing photosynthetic pigment synthesis with nitrogen homeostasis.

Gene expression of the bacterium Glutamicibacter arilaitensis when grown with Penicillium in cheese

Project description:RNA-seq was used in combination with various analytical chemistry approaches to identify the chemical and genetic basis of pigment production of the bacterium Glutamicibacter arilaitensis when growing on cheese. This bacterium commonly found in cheese rinds where it co-occurs with Penicillium species and other molds. Pinkish-red pigments are produced by the bacterium in response to growth with Penicillium. Both chemical analyses and RNA-seq point to coproporphyrin III as the major metabolite leading to pigment formation.

Regulation of dynamic pigment cell states at single-cell resolution

Project description:Pigment cells bear molecules with diverse physiological roles across phylogeny and are often under strict evolutionary selection. Thus, the mechanisms of regulating these cells, and the pigments within them, are of critical importance. Here, we explore the regulation of pigment cells in the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, an emerging model for understudied pigments at a molecular level. Sea urchins display a variety of pigments in both embryos and adults, but how the pigment cells form during development has not been resolved, nor has their breadth of biological significance been revealed. Known genes expressed by embryonic pigment cells are the transcriptional factor glial cells missing (gcm), and the enzymes pks1 and fmo1,2 and 3 (polyketide synthase1, flavin-dependent monooxygenase 1, 2, 3 respectively). In this study, we took advantage of single cell RNA-seq technology to interrogate the cell state of emerging pigment cells, and to test their diversity in fate and function.

Transcription profiling of rice transgenics expressing rice full-length cDNAs vs wild-type Col-0

Project description:We generated more than 23,000 independent Arabidopsis transgenic lines that expressed rice fl-cDNAs (Rice FOX Arabidopsis lines). The short generation time and rapid and efficient transformation frequency of Arabidopsis enabled the functions of the rice genes to be analyzed rapidly. We screened rice FOX Arabidopsis lines for alterations in morphology, photosynthesis, element accumulation, pigment accumulation, hormone profiles, secondary metabolites, pathogen resistance, salt-tolerance, UV signaling, high light tolerance, and heat stress tolerance. Since we isolated 6 genes (AK069096, AK073112, AK073675, AK065297, AK102323 and AK073210) causing an increase in the abundance of metabolites or pigments detected by absorption data, we investigated the expression profiles in transgenic plants by using microarray analysis. Expression of the genes encoding chalcone synthase and dihydroflavonol-4-reductase was increased in all 6 cDNA transformants. These results indicate that an increase in expression of the genes encoding flavonoid biosynthesis enzymes caused an accumulation of pigments in these 6 transformants. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from aerial parts of re-transformants of some rice cDNAs and wild type using an RNAqueous Kit (Ambion, Inc, USA).

Modulation of gene expression in heart and liver of hibernating black bears (Ursus americanus)

Project description:We analyzed gene expression in the American black bear, Ursus americanus, using a custom 12,800 cDNA probe (BA02) microarray to detect differences in expression that occur in heart and liver during winter hibernation in comparison to summer active animals. We identified 245 genes in heart and 319 genes in liver that were differentially expressed between winter and summer. The expression of 24 genes was significantly elevated during hibernation in both heart and liver. These genes are mostly involved in lipid catabolism and protein biosynthesis and include RNA binding protein motif 3 (Rbm3), which enhances protein synthesis at mildly hypothermic temperatures. Elevated expression of protein biosynthesis genes suggests induction of translation that may be related to adaptive mechanisms reducing cardiac and muscle atrophies over extended periods of low metabolism and immobility during hibernation in bears. Coordinated reduction of transcription of genes involved in amino acid catabolism suggests redirection of amino acids from catabolic pathways to protein biosynthesis. We identify common for black bears and small mammalian hibernators transcriptional changes in the liver that include induction of genes responsible for fatty acid β oxidation and carbohydrate synthesis and depression of genes involved in lipid biosynthesis, carbohydrate catabolism, cellular respiration and detoxification pathways. Our findings show that modulation of gene expression during winter hibernation represents molecular mechanism of adaptation to extreme environments. Black bears sampled during winter hibernation were compared with the animals sampled during summer. Two tissue types, liver and heart, were hybridized on a custom 12,800 cDNA probe nylon membrane microarray platform . Six hibernating and five summer active bears were studied in experiments with liver tissue, six hibernating and five summer active animals were tested with heart tissue.

Novel aspects of transcriptional regulation in the winter survival and maintenance mechanism of perennial woody plants, poplar.

Project description:Winter survival and maintenance strategy is crucial in temperate woody plants. Here, we demonstrate novel aspects of the transcriptional regulations adopted by perennial tree species in winter/dormancy, employing a biochemical and whole transcriptome analysis. As expected, genes related to cold hardiness and defense are over-represented. Interestingly, carbohydrate biosynthesis and transport-related genes were very actively expressed in winter/dormancy. Further biochemical analyses verified the dormancy/winter transcription phenotype. Furthermore, dormancy/winter preferential expression of genes involved in the cell wall biosynthesis/modification, circadian rhythm, the indirect transcriptional regulation (RNA metabolism), and chromatin modification/remodeling were identified. Taken together, regulation of gene expression in the winter survival and maintenance may include not only controlled by promoter binding transcription factors but may also be regulated at the post-transcriptional and chromatin levels.

Insights into gene expression changes during ice encasement in perennial grasses

Project description:The predicted increase in frequency and duration of winter warming episodes (WWEs) at the higher northern latitudes is expected to negatively impact the forage production in this region. The formation of non-permeable ice cover due to WWEs could subject the plants to hypoxic or anoxic conditions leading to severe winter damages. Knowledge about molecular mechanisms underlaying various winter stress is crucial to develop cultivars with better winter survival under changing climatic conditions. In the current study, we aimed at identifying genes involved in ice encasement stress responses in a perennial forage grass timothy and study gene expression differentiation due to field survival using timothy cultivars from diverse genetic backgrounds. The LD50 (the number of days under ice that kill 50% of the plants) varied across cultivars and origin. The expression of many genes involved in hypoxia and freezing stress responses were highly upregulated under ice encasement conditions. Functional analysis of DEGs revealed that the upregulated genes were linked to glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, carbon metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids while downregulated genes were related to photosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. The results from a current study indicate a substantial overlap of ice encasement stress responses with those of hypoxic and freezing stresses. In addition, the potential strategies leading to higher ice encasement tolerance of timothy are outlined. Furthermore, differences in gene expression between field survivors and original material and the differences between ice encasement responses of northern adapted cultivar and southern adapted cultivar are briefly discussed.
