Transcriptome analysis of the microalgae Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and mechanisms of photoinhibition tolerance under extreme high light conditions

ABSTRACT: To investigate acclimation mechanisms employed under extreme high light conditions, gene expression analysis was performed using the model microalgae Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (PCC 6803) cultured under various light intensities. From the low to the mid light conditions, the expression of genes related to light harvesting systems was repressed, whereas that of CO2 fixation and of D1 protein turnover-related genes was induced. Gene expression data also revealed that the down-regulation of genes related to flagellum synthesis (pilA2), pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (pntA and pntB), and sigma factor (sigA and sigF) represents acclimation mechanisms of PCC 6803 under excessive high light conditions.

The role of the Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 homolog of the circadian clock output regulator RpaA in day-night transitions

Project description:Like many other organisms, cyanobacteria exhibit rhythmic gene expression with a period length of 24 hours to adapt to daily environmental changes. In the model organism Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 the central oscillator consists of three proteins: KaiA, KaiB and KaiC and utilizes the histidine kinase SasA and its response regulator RpaA as output-signaling pathway. Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 contains two additional homologs of the kaiB and kaiC genes. Here we demonstrate that RpaA interacts with the core oscillator KaiAB1C1 of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 via SasA, similar to Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. However, interaction with the additional Kai homologs was not detected, suggesting different signal transduction components for the clock homologs. Inactivation of rpaA in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, lead to reduced viability of the mutant in light-dark cycles that aggravated under mixotrophic growth conditions. Chemoheterotrophic growth in the dark was abolished completely. In accordance, transcriptomic data revealed that RpaA is involved in the regulation of genes related to CO2‑acclimation and carbon metabolism under diurnal light conditions. Further, our results indicate that RpaA functions in the posttranslational regulation of glycogen metabolism as well, and a potential link between the circadian clock and motility was identified.

CyAbrB2 contributes to the transcriptional regulation of low CO2 acclimation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:Acclimation to low CO2 conditions in cyanobacteria involves the coordinated regulation of genes mainly encoding components of the carbon concentration mechanism (CCM). Making use of several independent microarray datasets a core set of CO2-regulated genes was defined for the model strain Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. On the transcriptional level, the CCM is mainly regulated by the well-characterized transcriptional regulators NdhR and CmpR, whereas the role of an additional regulatory protein, namely cyAbrB2 belonging to the widely distributed AbrB regulator family that was originally characterized in the genus Bacillus, is less defined. Here we present results of transcript profiling of the wild type and a ΔcyabrB2 mutant of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 after shifts from high CO2 (5% in air, HC) to low CO2 (0.04%, LC). Evaluation of the transcriptomic data revealed that cyAbrB2 is involved in the regulation of several CCM-related genes such as sbtA/B, ndhF3/ndhD3/cupA and cmpABCD under LC conditions, but apparently acts supplementary to the main regulators. Under HC conditions, cyAbrB2 deletion changes the expression of photosystem II subunits, light-harvesting components, and Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle enzymes.

In vivo recruitment analysis and a mutant strain without any group 2 σ factors reveal roles of different σ factors in cyanobacteria

Project description:In eubacteria, replacement of one σ factor in the RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme by another one changes the transcription pattern. Cyanobacteria are eubacteria characterized by oxygenic photosynthesis and they typically encode numerous group 2 σ factors that closely resemble the essential primary σ factor. A mutant strain of the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 without functional group 2 σ factors (named as ΔsigBCDE) could not acclimate to heat, high salt, or bright light stress but in standard conditions ΔsigBCDE grew only 9% slower than the control strain. One-fifth of the genes in ΔsigBCDE were differently expressed compared to the control strain in standard growth conditions and several physiological changes in photosynthesis, and pigment and lipid compositions were detected. To directly analyze the σ factor content of RNAP holoenzyme in vivo, a His-tag was added to the γ subunit of RNAP in Synechocystis and RNAPs were collected. The results revealed that all group 2 σ factors were recruited by RNAP in standard conditions, but recruitment of SigB and SigC increased in heat stress, SigD in bright light, SigE in darkness and SigB, SigC and SigE in high salt, explaining the poor acclimation of ΔsigBCDE to these stress conditions. Cells from cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 named as control strain (CS) and a mutant strain without any functional group 2 sigma factors, ΔsigBCDE, were harvested (A730=1, 40 mL) directly from standard growth conditions (continuous illumination at the PPFD of 40 µmol m-2s-1, 32°C, ambient CO2). From three to four independent experiments were performed at each conditions.

Deletion of the Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 kaiAB1C1 gene cluster causes impaired cell growth under light-dark conditions

Project description:In contrast to Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, which has been the model cyanobacterium for the study of the prokaryotic circadian clock for more than 20 years, only few data exist on the circadian behaviour of the widely used cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The standard kaiABC operon present in this organism was shown to encode a functional KaiC protein which interacts with KaiA, similar to the Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 clock. Inactivation of this operon in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 resulted in a mutant with a strong growth defect in light-dark cycles, which was even more pronounced when glucose was added to the growth medium. In addition, mutants showed a bleaching phenotype. No effects were detected in mutant cells grown in constant light. Microarray experiments performed with cells grown for one day in a light-dark cycle revealed many differentially regulated genes with known functions in the ΔkaiABC mutant in comparison to the wild type. Most interestingly, we identified genes like the gene encoding the cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph1 and the light repressed protein LrtA as well as several hypothetical open reading frames with a complete inverse behaviour in the light cycle. These transcripts showed a stronger accumulation in the light but a weaker accumulation in the dark in ΔkaiABC cells in comparison to the wild type. In addition, we found a considerable overlap with microarray data obtained for hik31 and sigE mutants. These genes are known to be important regulators of cell metabolism in the dark.

The impact of the carbon-regulation protein SbtB on CO2-dependent gene expression in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [cyal]

Project description:Gene expression changes were followed in cultures of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 three and 24 hours after shift from high carbon (HC) to low carbon (LC) concentrations. The acclimation to fluctuating inorganic carbon (Ci) concentrations is crucial for photoautotrophic organisms living in aquatic environments such as cyanobacteria. The PII-like regulator protein SbtB binds the second messengers cAMP or c-diAMP and is involved in the acclimation to LC. Here, we investigated the impact of SbtB and of second messengers on gene expression changes during this acclimation response. We analyzed cultures of the wild type (WT), the ΔsbtB mutant lacking the PII-like regulator protein SbtB, the ΔcyaI mutant, lacking the main soluble adenylate cyclase for cAMP production and ΔdacA, lacking the diadenylate cyclase for c-diAMP production. The majority of LC-induced genes behaved in these mutants like in wild type. However, a defined subset of LC-regulated genes in WT was found to be changed in mutant ΔsbtB already under high CO2. Collectively, the results indicate that SbtB regulates a particular subset of genes during the LC acclimation response.
