Relationship between cell cycle and diel transcriptomic changes in metabolism in a unicellular red alga

ABSTRACT: Metabolism, cell cycle stages, and related transcriptomes in eukaryotic algae change with the diel cycle of light availability. In the unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, the S and M phases occur at night. To examine how diel transcriptomic changes in metabolic pathways are related to the cell cycle and to identify all genes, for which mRNA levels change depending on the cell cycle, we examined diel transcriptomic changes in C. merolae. In addition, we compared transcriptomic changes between the wild type and transgenic lines, in which the cell cycle was uncoupled from the diel cycle by the depletion of either cyclin-dependent kinase A (CDKA) or retinoblastoma-related (RBR) protein. Of 4,775 nucleus-encoded genes, the mRNA levels of 1,979 genes exhibited diel transcriptomic changes in the wild type. Of these, the periodic expression patterns of 454 genes were abolished in the transgenic lines, suggesting that the expression of these genes is dependent on cell cycle progression. The periodic expression patterns of most metabolic genes, except those involved in starch degradation and de novo dNTP synthesis, were not affected in the transgenic lines, indicating that the cell cycle and transcriptomic changes in most metabolic pathways are independent of the diel cycle. Approximately 40% of the cell–cycle–dependent genes were of unknown function, and approximately 19% of these genes of unknown function are shared with the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The dataset presented in this study will facilitate further studies on the cell cycle and its relationship with metabolism in eukaryotic algae.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Genome-wide profiling of H3K27me3 occupancy in C. merolae

Project description:Chromatin immunopreciptation coupled with Illumina sequencing to H3K27me3 occupancy in model red alga, C. merolae. The results revealed preferential abundance over repetitive elements, instead of the genes. This histone mark enriches also over subtelomeric and telomeric regions of the chromosomes. C. merolae H3K27me3 has a canonical repressive function as in the higher eukaryotes and forms differential clusters over the gene bodies with different levels of repression. Overall, our study provides important insights toward the function of chromatin-mediated repression in the evolutionary aspect.

An extensive program of periodic alternative splicing linked to cell cycle progression

Project description:Progression through the mitotic cell cycle requires periodic regulation of gene function at the levels of transcription, translation, protein-protein interactions, post-translational modification and degradation. However, the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the temporal control of cell cycle is not well understood. By sequencing the human transcriptome through two continuous cell cycles, we identify ~1,300 genes with cell cycle-dependent AS changes. These genes are significantly enriched in functions linked to cell cycle control, yet they do not significantly overlap genes subject to periodic changes in steady-state transcript levels. Many of the periodically spliced genes are controlled by the SR protein kinase CLK1, whose level undergoes cell cycle-dependent fluctuations via an auto-inhibitory circuit. Disruption of CLK1 causes pleiotropic cell cycle defects and loss of proliferation, whereas CLK1 over-expression is associated with various cancers. These results thus reveal a large program of CLK1-regulated periodic AS intimately associated with cell cycle control.

To this aim we performed quantitative proteomic analyses of whole cells as well as solubilized thylakoid protein complexes.

Transcriptional profiling of Drosophila wing pouch following CR32027 RNAi

Project description:The eukaryotic cell cycle, driven by both transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms, is the central molecular oscillator underlying tissue growth throughout animals. While genome-wide studies have investigated cell cycle-associated transcription in unicellular systems, global patterns of periodic transcription in multicellular tissues remain largely unexplored. Here we define the cell cycle-associated transcriptome of the developing Drosophila wing epithelium and compare it with that of cultured Drosophila S2 cells, revealing a core set of periodic genes as well as a surprising degree of context-specificity in periodic transcription. We further employ RNAi-mediated phenotypic profiling to define functional requirements for over 300 periodic genes, with a focus on those required for cell proliferation in vivo. Finally, we investigate the role of novel genes required for interkinetic nuclear migration. Combined, these findings provide a global perspective on cell cycle control in vivo, and highlight a critical need to understand the context-specific regulation of cell proliferation. Two RNAi lines of CR32027, a non-coding RNA gene identified in this study, are examined for transcriptional changes relative to wt.
