High-throughput Identification of Novel Heat Tolerance Genes via Genome-wide Pooled Mutant Screens in the Model Green Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

ABSTRACT: Different high temperatures adversely affect crop and algal yields with various responses in photosynthetic cells. The list of genes required for thermotolerance remains elusive. Additionally, it is unclear how carbon source availability affects heat responses in plants and algae. We utilized the insertional, indexed, genome-saturating mutant library of the unicellular, eukaryotic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to perform genome-wide, quantitative, pooled screens under moderate (35oC) or acute (40oC) high temperatures with or without organic carbon sources. We identified heat-sensitive mutants based on quantitative growth rates and identified putative heat tolerance genes (HTGs). By triangulating HTGs with heat-induced transcripts or proteins in wildtype cultures and MapMan functional annotations, we present a high/medium-confidence list of 933 Chlamydomonas genes with putative roles in heat tolerance. Triangulated HTGs include those with known thermotolerance roles and novel genes with little or no functional annotation. About 50% of these high-confidence HTGs in Chlamydomonas have orthologs in green lineage organisms, including crop species. Arabidopsis thaliana mutants deficient in the ortholog of a high-confidence Chlamydomonas HTG were also heat sensitive. This work expands our knowledge of heat responses in photosynthetic cells and provides engineering targets to improve thermotolerance in algae and crops.

Systems-wide Analysis Revealed Shared and Unique Responses to Moderate and Acute High Temperatures in the Green Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Project description:Different intensities of high temperatures affect the growth of photosynthetic cells in nature. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we cultivated the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under highly controlled photobioreactor conditions and revealed systems-wide shared and unique responses to 24-hour moderate (35oC) and acute (40oC) high temperatures and subsequent recovery at 25oC. We identified transcripts/proteins with unique differential regulation at 35oC, uncovering previously overlooked novel elements in response to moderate high temperature. Heat at 35oC increased transcripts/proteins involved in gluconeogensis/glyoxylate-cycle for carbon uptake, promoted growth, and increased starch accumulation. Heat at 40oC inhibited growth, resulting in carbon uptake over usage and increased starch accumulation. Heat at 35oC transiently arrested the cell cycle followed by partial synchronization while 40oC inhibited DNA replication and arrested the cell cycle. Both high temperatures induced photoprotection, while 40oC decreased photosynthetic efficiencies, distorted thylakoid/pyrenoid ultrastructure, and affected the carbon concentrating mechanism. We demonstrated increased transcript/protein correlation during heat, which decreased during recovery, suggesting reduced post-transcriptional regulation during heat may help coordinate heat tolerance activities efficiently. During recovery after both treatments, transcripts/proteins related to DNA synthesis increased while those involved in photosynthetic light reactions decreased. We propose down-regulating photosynthetic light reactions during DNA replication benefits cell cycle resumption by reducing ROS production. Our results provide potential targets to increase thermotolerance in algae and crops.

Systems-wide Analysis Revealed Shared and Unique Responses to Moderate and Acute High Temperatures in Green Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Project description:Different intensities of high temperatures affect plant growth and yield in the field, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Using the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, under highly controlled photobioreactor conditions, we revealed systems-wide shared and unique responses to 24-hour moderate (35oC) and acute (40oC) high temperatures and subsequent recovery at 25oC. Heat at 35oC increased transcripts/proteins involved in gluconeogensis/glyoxylate-cycle for carbon uptake, promoted growth, and increased starch accumulation.

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.

Long recovery after heat shock

Project description:Abiotic stress is a major factor for crop productivity, a problem likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Improving the tolerance to environmental stress is one of the most important goals of crop breeding programmes. While the early responses to abiotic stress in plants are well studied, plant adaptation to enduring or recurring stress conditions has received little attention. This project investigates the molecular mechanism of the maintenance of acquired thermotolerance as a model case of stress memory in Arabidopsis. Arabidopsis seedlings acquire thermotolerance through a heat treatment at sublethal temperatures. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we are investigating changes in the transcriptome at two timepoints after a heat acclimation treatment using Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Microarrays were used to compare gene expression at two timepoints after a heat acclimation treatment.

A high-resolution transcriptome map of Ectocarpus siliculosus

Project description:Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are complex photosynthetic organisms with a very different evolutionary history to green plants, to which they are only distantly related. These seaweeds are the dominant species in rocky coastal ecosystems and they exhibit many interesting adaptations to these, often harsh, environments. The brown algae are also important because they are one of only a very small number of eukaryotic lineages that have evolved complex multicellularity. This work used whole genome tiling array approach to generate a comprehensive transcriptome map of the filamentous seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngbye, a model organism for the brown algae. Keywords: high-resolution tiling array, brown algae, ectocarpus

Thermotolerance in B. subtilis

Project description:During thermotolerance development, B. subtilis cells can be primed by a short mild heat shock to survive a subsequent severe, otherwise lethal, heat stress. We wanted to assess the influence of transcriptional regulation during thermotolerance development in B. subtilis. We prepared total RNA of four differently treated samples of B. subtilis cells. For this purpose, exponential B. subtilis cells grown at 37 Â°C were divided and exposed for additional 15 min to temperatures of 37 Â°C, 48 Â°C, 53 Â°C or 15 min 48 Â°C followed by 15 min at 53 Â°C. Using four different merged dye swap experiments of red or green labelled cDNA of the above described RNA preparations, we compared and analyzed the transcriptional change of the conditions 48 Â°C vs. 53/48 Â°C (array 1), 37 Â°C vs. 53 Â°C (array 2), 37 Â°C vs. 48 Â°C (array 3) and especially 37/53Â°C vs. 53/48 Â°C (array 4)
