Transcriptome Profiling of Bigelowiella natans in Response to Light Stress

ABSTRACT: Bigelowiella natans is a marine chlorarachniophyte whose plastid was acquired secondarily via endosymbiosis with a green alga. Integrating a photosynthetic endosymbiont within the host metabolism on route to plastid evolution would require the acquisition of strategies for coping with changes in light intensity and modifications of host genes to appropriately respond to changes in photosynthetic metabolism. To investigate the transcriptional response to light intensity in chlorarachniophytes, we conducted an RNA-seq experiment to identify differentially-expressed genes following four-hour shift to high or very-low light. A shift to high light altered the expression of over 2000 genes, many involved with photosynthesis, primary metabolism, and reactive-oxygen scavenging. These changes are related to an attempt to optimize photosynthesis and increase energy sinks for excess reductant, while minimizing photo-oxidative stress. A transfer to very-low light resulted in a lower photosynthetic performance and metabolic alteration, reflecting an energy-limited state. Genes located on the nucleomorph, the vestigial nucleus in the plastid, had few changes in expression in either light treatment, indicating this organelle has relinquished most transcriptional control to the nucleus. Overall, during plastid origin, both host and transferred endosymbiont genes evolved a harmonized transcriptional network to respond to a classic photosynthetic stress.

Highly resolved systems biology to dissect the etioplast-to-chloroplast transition in tobacco leaves

Project description:Upon exposure to light, plant cells quickly acquire photosynthetic competence by converting pale etioplasts into green chloroplasts. This developmental transition involves the de novo biogenesis of the thylakoid system, and requires reprogramming of metabolism and gene expression. Etioplast-to-chloroplast differentiation involves massive changes in plastid ultrastructure, but how these changes are connected to specific changes in physiology, metabolism and expression of the plastid and nuclear genomes is poorly understood. Here a new experimental system in the dicotyledonous model plant tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) that allows us to study the leaf de-etiolation process at the systems level. We have determined the accumulation kinetics of photosynthetic complexes, pigments, lipids and soluble metabolites, and recorded the dynamic changes in plastid ultrastructure and in the nuclear and plastid transcriptomes. Our data describe the greening process at high temporal resolution, resolve distinct genetic and metabolic phases during de-etiolation, and reveal numerous candidate genes that may be involved in light-induced chloroplast development and thylakoid biogenesis.

The protein expression of Chlamydomonas, a green algae, exhibits a response to changes in light intensity, particularly in regards to low and high light conditions.

Project description:Chlamydomonas, a green algae, is known to respond to changes in light intensity by altering its protein expression. In low light conditions, Chlamydomonas increases the expression of photosynthetic genes and the proteins they encode, including the light-harvesting complexes and the reaction center proteins. This allows the algae to maximize its ability to capture light and perform photosynthesis efficiently. On the other hand, under high light conditions, Chlamydomonas reduces the expression of these photosynthetic genes to avoid photoinhibition and damage to the photosynthetic machinery. Instead, it increases the expression of stress response genes and the corresponding proteins, such as antioxidant enzymes, which protect the algae from the harmful effects of excess light. In addition, Chlamydomonas also modulates its expression of other genes and proteins, such as those involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, in response to changes in light intensity. This helps the algae to maintain a balance between energy production and utilization, ensuring its survival and growth under different light conditions. Overall, the ability of Chlamydomonas to modulate its protein expression in response to changes in light intensity is an important mechanism for adapting to its environment and ensuring its survival and growth.

Transcription profiling of Arabidopsis acclimation to light intensity

Project description:The acclimation of plants to environmental factors (light/temperature/nutrient availability) plays a crucial role in determining their tolerance to stress their ability to compete with other plants and the efficiency with which external inputs are used for growth and productivity. Some of the clearest responses involve the major modifications in the composition of the photosynthetic apparatus in response to light intensity. Photosynthetic acclimation. The acclimation response involves changes in the abundance of a large number of proteins in different cell compartments occurring at different intensity thresholds. The signal transduction chain is complex and involves crosstalk between redox control and other pathways that control photosynthetic gene expression but is poorly understood. Over the past 7 years we have laid the foundations for a molecular genetic approach by characterising the responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to growth in and transfer between high and low light conditions(1-6). Arabidopsis exhibits all the key features of photosynthetic acclimation: changes in maximum photosynthetic rate in leaf structure and in the levels of light-harvesting complexes photosystems and enzymes of carbon metabolism. Method: Samples A-1, A-2 and A-3 were grown at a light intensity of 400 umol.m-2.s-1 until rosette growth was complete. Plants for samples A-2 and A-3 were then transferred to 100 umol.m-2.s-1. Samples A-4, A-5 and A-6 were grown at 100umol.m-2.s-1 until rosette growth was complete, when plants for samples A-5 and A-6 were transferred to 400 umol.m-2.s-1. Samples were taken 24 hours after transfer to the different light intensity and samples A-3 and A-6 were taken 72 hours after transfer. Keywords: Photosynthesis

Impacts of phosphatidylglycerol on plastid gene expression and light induction of nuclear photosynthetic genes

Project description:We report that phosphatidylglycerol (PG) biosynthesis in plastid is required for plastid gene expression mediated by plastid-encoded RNA polymerase and light-induced expression of nuclear-encoded photosynthesis-associated genes. A transcription factor GOLDEN-LIKE1 was also found to be involved in the downregulation of nuclear photosynthesis genes in responce to PG deficiency.

Comparison of wildtype and gr1 knock-out mutants of Physcomitrella patens using quantitative proteomics

Project description:(1) While it is known that redox-regulation in chloroplasts is vital for functional photosynthesis, the interplay of different redox-cascades in balancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with metabolic regulation via thiol switching is still partly unresolved. We investigate the importance of the glutathione reductase isoform maintaining a highly reducing stromal glutathione redox potential (EGSH). (2) Using the model moss Physcomitrella patens, we knocked-out the plastid/mitochondrial GR isoform. We generated a sensor line expressing plastid-targeted redox-sensitive GFP to monitor stromal EGSH in vivo, and compared protein abundances between wildtype (WT) and Δgr1 knock-out mutants by a metabolic labelling approach. (3) On the organelle level, we find that the absence of PpGR1 leads to a shift of stromal EGSH to less reducing values that is not rescued in the light, whereas WT EGSH was clearly responsive to light. On the plant level, growth and photosynthetic performance were decreased with increasing light intensities while ascorbate and zeaxanthin levels were elevated. Proteomics showed an induction of proteins involved in plastid protein repair and degradation. (4) Our results indicate a limited cross-talk between plastid thioredoxin and glutathione redox systems and show that glutathione reductase is necessary for efficient photosynthesis under stress and non-stress conditions.

A binary redox control mode in gene expression and metabolism of plants

Project description:To analyze the impact of photosynthetic redox signals, light sources with spectral qualities that preferentially excite either Photosystem I (PSI light) or Photosystem II (PSII light) were used. The light sources have been described in (Fey et al., 2005). Strong reduction and oxidation signals were induced by light shifts from PSI to PSII light (PSI-II) and the reverse light shift (PSII-I), respectivly. The acclimation responses were monitored at 0.5, 2, 8, and 48h after a light shift. Samples taken prior to changing the light quality (0h) served as control.

Intersystem photosynthetic redox signal in retrograde chloroplast-to-nucleus communication

Project description:To analyze the impact of photosynthetic redox signals, light sources with spectral qualities that preferentially excite either Photosystem I (PSI light) or Photosystem II (PSII light) were used. The light sources have been described in (Wagner et al, Planta 2008). Strong reduction signals were induced by light shifts from PSI to PSII light (PSI-II). In order to find primary regulated genes the acclimation responses were monitored at 30 min and 60 min after a light shift. The control was continuous Psi light at the same time. We used stn7 (a thylakoid redox regulated kinase) to specifically block transduction of photosynthetic redox signal in order to compare “real” redox regulated with that of other light acclimation pathways.

Establishment of photosynthesis through chloroplast development is controlled by two distinct regulatory phases

Project description:A pluripotent inducible cell line was generated from Arabidopsis to address the limitations of traditional in planta dicot systems and to develop a well-controlled experimental setup where the individual regulatory check points of chloroplast development could be defined. Following light exposure, this cell line was shown to differentiate into photosynthetically active cells with functional chloroplasts providing an experimental system with a temporal gradient of chloroplast development. Using this unique cell line from the dicot Arabidopsis we could demonstrate that the development from a proplastid to a functional chloroplast, and thereby the establishment of photosynthesis, is dependent on a regulatory mechanism involving two distinct phases. First, light exposure triggers an initial change in gene expression, metabolite profile, chlorophyll accumulation and plastid structure. Secondly, a second signal, most likely triggered by activation of the chloroplast, is required for full transition to a functional chloroplast and the shift from heterotrophic to photoautotrophic metabolism.
