Post-transcriptional regulation of redox homeostasis by the small RNA SHOxi in haloarchaea

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress responsive small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) have been reported in the model archaeon, Haloferax volcanii, but targets and mechanisms of actions have not been elucidated. While haloarchaea are highly resistant to oxidative stress, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms regulating this remarkable response is lacking. Here, using a combination of high throughput and reverse molecular genetic approaches we elucidated the functional role of the most up-regulated intergenic sRNA during oxidative stress in H. volcanii, aptly named Small RNA in Haloferax Oxidative Stress (SHOxi). We demonstrated that SHOxi is a functional non-coding RNA that plays gene regulatory roles in the oxidative stress response of an extremophilic archaeon. We found that SHOxi likely regulates redox homeostasis during oxidative stress by the post-transcriptional destabilization of malic enzyme mRNA. The decrease in the NAD+/NADH ratio resulting from the direct RNA-RNA interaction between SHOxi and its trans-target is instrumental in the survival of H. volcanii. The regulatory effects of SHOxi provides evidence that the fine-tuning of metabolic cofactors could be a core strategy to mitigate damage from oxidative stress and confer resistance. This study is the first to establish the regulatory effects of sRNAs on mRNAs during the oxidative stress response in Archaea.

Transcriptional Landscape and Regulatory Roles of Small Noncoding RNAs in the Oxidative Stress Response of the Haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii

Project description:We demonstrate here the transcriptional landscape and functional roles of sRNAs specifically in the regulation of the oxidative stress response of the model haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii. We sequenced 5 biological replicates of H. volcanii strain H53 under no challenge and oxidative stress (H2O2) conditions at mid-exponential phase (OD 0.4). Thousands of sRNAs, both intergenic and antisense, were discovered using strand-specific sRNA-seq, comprising around 30% of the transcriptome during non-challenged and oxidative stress conditions. Antisense sRNAs were found to overlap both 5’ and 3’ UTRs of mRNAs revealing a hybrid system between Eukarya (3’ UTR) and Bacteria (5’ UTR) sRNA-silencing systems, as well as targeting the coding sequence (CDS) of mRNAs, a unique system to Archaea. We identified hundreds of differentially expressed sRNAs in response to hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress in H. volcanii. A majority of these sRNAs are lowly expressed compared to mRNAs. The sRNAs could be classified in two populations based on expression patterns: those that are up-regulated and those that are down-regulated during oxidative stress. Targets of antisense sRNAs decreased in expression when sRNAs were up-regulated indicating that sRNAs are likely playing a negative regulatory role on mRNA targets at the transcript level. Target enrichment of sRNAs included mRNAs involved in transposons, chemotaxis signaling, peptidase activity, transcription factors, and secondary metabolite regulation.

The TroR transcription factor regulates iron homeostasis in the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Iron is essential for almost all organisms, but can be toxic in excess. Cells use regulatory mechanisms to control the iron uptake, iron utilization and iron release mechanisms to ensure the availability of enough iron to be used for biological processess but minimizing the oxidative stress caused by the oxidation of free molecules of iron. In this paper we show that TroR is a transcription factor from the conserved family of proteins DtxR that works as the major regulator of iron homeostasis in the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii.

The TroR transcription factor genome-wide binding analysis in the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Iron is essential for almost all organisms, but can be toxic in excess. Cells use regulatory mechanisms to control the iron uptake, iron utilization and iron release mechanisms to ensure the availability of enough iron to be used for biological processess but minimizing the oxidative stress caused by the oxidation of free molecules of iron. In this paper we show that TroR is a transcription factor from the conserved family of proteins DtxR that directly binds the promoter of a set of genes involved in iron homeostasis meanwhile SirR is not a major regulator of iron homeostasis in the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii.

TrmB-like family transcription factor OxsR regulates the oxidative stress response in Haloferax volcanii

Project description:Haloarchaea tolerate high levels of reactive species that are naturally present in hypersaline environments. Hundreds of sRNAs, transcripts, and proteins are found altered in abundance when haloarchaea are exposed to reactive species, yet the regulators that control these responses are not well characterized. Here we report the function of Haloferax volcanii OxsR (redox stress responsive regulator, HVO_2970), a standalone winged-helix DNA binding domain protein of the TrmB-like family. Here we demonstrate that OxsR is important for growth in the presence of hypochlorite and binds specific regions of genomic DNA during hypochlorite stress by ChIP-seq analysis. The OxsR-bound intergenic regions were located nearby operons encoding oxidative stress functions, including the biosynthesis of low molecular weight thiols and thiol relay systems. Further analysis by qRT-PCR revealed that OxsR functions during oxidative stress largely as a transcriptional activator, and occasionally as a repressor. The conserved cysteine residue (C24) of OxsR and a CG-rich binding motif upstream of BRE/TATA box promoter elements were found important in the transcriptional activation of select operons during hypochlorite stress. 3D-modeling of OxsR revealed C24 to be located at a homodimer interface formed by antiparallel α1 helices, suggesting that C24 forms an intersubunit disulfide bond in the presence of oxidant that stabilizes the homodimer. The phylogenetic distribution of OxsR homologs with the conserved cysteine suggests this type of redox signaling mechanism is widespread in Archaea.

A small RNA and its involvement in zinc transport

Project description:The function and mode of action of small regulatory RNAs is currently still understudied in archaea. In the halophilic archaeon H. volcanii a plethora of sRNAs have been identified, however, in-depth functional analysis is missing for most of them. We selected a small RNA (s479) from H. volcanii for detailed characterization. The sRNA gene is encoded between a CRISPR RNA locus and the Cas protein gene cluster, the s479 deletion strain is viable and was characterized in detail. Transcriptome studies of wild type Haloferax cells and the deletion mutant revealed up-regulation of six genes in the deletion strain, showing that the sRNA has a distinct cellular function. Proteome comparison of wild type and deletion strains further expanded the regulon of s479 deeply rooting this sRNA within the metabolism of H. volcanii especially the regulation of transporter abundance.

Transciptome profile of TrmB and TbsP in Haloferax volcanii [RNA-seq]

Project description:The hypersaline-adapted archaeon Haloferax volcanii exhibits remarkable plasticity in its morphology, biofilm formation, and motility in response to variations in nutrients and cell density. The transcriptional regulator TrmB maintains the rod shape in the related species Halobacterium salinarum by activating the expression genes involved in gluconeogenesis. Here we investigated the role of TrmB in Hfx. volcanii. The ∆trmB strain rapidly accumulated suppressor mutations in a gene encoding a novel transcriptional regulator, which we name TrmB suppressor, or TbsP. TbsP is required for adhesion to abiotic surfaces and maintains wild-type cell morphology and motility. To better understand the roles of TrmB and TbsP, we conducted expression profiling in ∆trmB, ∆tbsP, ∆trmB∆tbsP in response to glucose availability. TrmB and TbsP jointly regulate the transcription of gapII, fbp, and ppsA.
