Chlamydomonas cells transition through distinct Fe nutrition stages within 48 h of transfer to Fe-free medium

ABSTRACT: Low iron (Fe) bioavailability can limit the biosynthesis of Fe-containing proteins, which are especially abundant in photosynthetic organisms, thus negatively affecting global primary productivity. Understanding cellular coping mechanisms under Fe limitation is therefore of great interest. We surveyed the temporal responses of Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) cells transitioning from an Fe-rich to an Fe-free medium to document their short- and long-term adjustments. While slower growth, chlorosis and lower photosynthetic parameters are evident only after one or more days in Fe-free medium, the abundance of some transcripts, such as those for genes encoding transporters and enzymes involved in Fe assimilation, change within minutes, before changes in intracellular Fe content are noticeable, suggestive of a sensitive mechanism for sensing Fe. Promoter reporter constructs indicate a transcriptional component to this immediate primary response. With acetate provided as a source of reduced carbon, transcripts encoding respiratory components are maintained relative to transcripts encoding components of photosynthesis and tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, indicating metabolic prioritization of respiration over photosynthesis. In contrast to the loss of chlorophyll, carotenoid content is maintained under Fe limitation despite a decrease in the transcripts for carotenoid biosynthesis genes, indicating carotenoid stability. These changes occur more slowly, only after the intracellular Fe quota responds, indicating a phased response in Chlamydomonas, involving both primary and secondary responses during acclimation to poor Fe nutrition.

Transcriptome analysis of Dunaliella salina on carotenoid biosynthesis under red and blue light induction

Project description:Light quality is an important abiotic factor that affects growth and development of photosynthetic organism. In this study, D. salina was exposed to red (660 nm) and blue light (450 nm), and cell growth, pigments, and transcriptome were analyzed. The RNA of D. salina was sequenced and transcriptomic response of algal cells after transitioning from white light to red and blue light was investigated. Genes encoding for enzymes involved in photosynthesis were down-regulated, whereas genes involved in the metabolism of carotenoid were up-regulated. Genes encoding for photoprotective enzymes related to reactive oxygen species scavenging were up-regulated under both red and blue light. The present transcriptomic study would assist in the comprehensive understanding of carotenoid biosynthesis of D. salina.

Systems and trans-system level analysis identifies conserved Fe-deficiency responses in the plant lineage

Project description:We used RNA-Seq to compare the transcriptomes of Fe-replete vs. Fe-deficient vs. Fe-limited Chlamydomonas wild-type cells. Our RNA-Seq data revealed 90 and 49 genes to be specifically expressed under hetero-phototrophic and phototrophic conditions, respectively. Around 30 genes represent putative Fe-deficiency targets, independent of the carbon source used. Many of these Fe-specific responses are conserved between Chlamydomonas and land plants. We identified several transporters (NRAMP4, a CCC1-like proteins and a ferroportin homologue) all of them most likely being involved in intracellular Fe redistribution. RNA-seq of Chlamydomonas Fe-deficient and limited cells indicated that about 40% of differentially expressed genes represent proteins of unknown functions. Whereas Fe-deficiency gave us insides into putative Fe-specific responses, Fe-limitation revealed responses related to increased oxidative stress. Quantitative proteomics on the soluble Chlamydomonas extracts indicated a fair correlation between changes we detected at mRNA levels compared to changes in protein levels in Fe-deficient and Fe-limited Chlamydomonas. We found that Fe-deficient and Fe-limited cells have increased ascorbate levels, a major antioxidant molecule in plants. Ascorbate levels appear to be elevated by de novo synthesis via the L-Galactose pathway and recycling by monodehydroascorbate reductase. Fe-limited cells showed increased transcript and protein levels of enzymatic antioxidant components of the ascorbate-glutathione scavenging system (MSD3, MDAR1 or GSH1). Fe-limited cells showed the increase of several proteases indicative of elevated proteolitic activity under these severe nutrient limitation conditions.

Transcriptional response of the marine pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to Fe limitation

Project description:Diatoms, which are responsible for up to 40% of the 45 to 50 billion metric tons of organic carbon production each year in the sea, are particularly sensitive to Fe stress. Here we describe the transcriptional response of the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to Fe limitation using a partial genome microarray based on EST and genome sequence data. Processes carried out by components rich in Fe, such as photosynthesis, mitochondrial electron transport and nitrate assimilation are down-regulated to cope with the reduced cellular iron quota. This retrenchment is compensated by nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) reallocation from protein and storage carbohydrate degradation, adaptations to chlorophyll biosynthesis and pigment metabolism, removal of excess electron s by mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX), augmented Fe-independent oxidative stress responses, and sensitized iron capture mechanisms. Keywords: Marine phytoplankton, pinnate diatom

UV-A receptor CRY-DASH1 up- and UV-A receptor CRY-DASH1 up- and downregulates proteins involved in different plastidial pathways

Project description:Algae encode up to five different types of cryptochrome photoreceptors. So far, relatively little is known about the biological functions of the so-called DASH (Drosophila, Arabidopsis, Synechocystis and Homo)-type cryptochromes. The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii encodes two of them. CRY-DASH1 also called DCRY1 has its maximal absorption peak in the UV-A range. It is localized in the chloroplast and plays an important role in balancing the photosynthetic machinery. Here, we performed a comparative analysis of chloroplast proteins from wild type and a knockout mutant of CRY-DASH1 named cry-dash1mut, using label-free quantitative proteomics as well as immunoblotting. Our results show upregulation of enzymes involved in specific pathways in the mutant including key enzymes of chlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis consistent with increased levels of photosynthetic pigments in cry-dash1mut. There is also an increase in certain redox as well as photosystem I and II proteins, including D1. Strikingly, CRY-DASH1 is coregulated in a D1 deletion mutant, where its amount is increased. In contrast, key proteins of the central carbon metabolism, including glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, dark fermentation and the oxidative pentose pathway are downregulated in cry-dash1mut. Similarly, enzymes of histidine biosynthesis are downregulated in cry-dash1mut leading to a reduction in the amount of free histidine. Yet, transcripts encoding for several of these proteins are at a similar level in the wild type and cry-dash1mut or even opposite. We show that CRY-DASH1 can bind to RNA, taking the the psbA RNA encoding D1 as target. These data suggest that CRY-DASH1 regulates plastidial metabolic pathways at the post-transcriptional level.

Salicylic acid accumulation is required for Fe-deficiency responses in Arabidopsis

Project description:Several phytohormones and other small molecules have been demonstrated to be involved in iron (Fe) homeostasis. However, how salicylic acid (SA), an essential hormone in plant immunity and defense responses, participates in Fe-deficiency responses in plants is largely unknown. Here, we took advantage of a SA biosynthesis defect mutant phytoalexin deficient 4 (pad4: T-DNA Salk_089936) to explore the possible effects of endogenous SA on the morphological and physiological responses to Fe deprivation. Under a Fe-deficiency treatment, Col-0 showed more severe leaf chlorosis and root growth inhibition compared with the pad4 mutant. The soluble Fe concentrations were significant higher in pad4 than Col-0 under the Fe-deficiency treatment, suggesting that a mutation in the PAD4 gene may alleviate the Fe-deficiency-induced symptoms by regulating the soluble Fe concentrations. Furthermore, a SA signaling maker line (PR1promoter: GUS) was used to investigate how Fe deficiency affects endogenous SA biosynthesis and metabolism. The data showed that Fe deficiency significantly induced SA accumulation in Col-0, and the loss function of PAD4 blocked this process. The requirement of endogenous SA accumulation for Fe-deficiency responses was confirmed using a series of SA biosynthetic mutants and transgenic lines.

Global Changes following N-deprivation in Chlamydomonas: 454 sequencing

Project description:Chlamydomonas reinhardtii forms lipid droplets rich in triacylglycerols when nutrient-deprived. To begin studying the mechanisms underlying this process, N-deprivation was used to induce triacylglycerol accumulation and changes in developmental programs such as gametogenesis. Comparative global analysis of transcripts under induced and non-induced conditions was applied as a first approach to study molecular changes that promote or accompany triacylglycerol accumulation in cells encountering a new nutrient environment. Towards this goal, high-throughput sequencing technology was employed to generate large numbers of expressed sequence tags of 8 biologically independent libraries (2 454 libraries, 6 Illumina libraries), four for each condition, N-replete and N-deprived, that allowed a statistically sound comparison of expression levels under the two tested conditions. Inferences on metabolism based on transcriptional analysis can only be indirect but were supported in parts by biochemical experiments. N-deprivation led to a marked redirection of metabolism as the carbon source acetate was no longer converted to cell building blocks by the glyoxylate cycle and gluconeogensis, but funneled directly into fatty acid biosynthesis. Protein biosynthesis and photosynthesis were down-regulated and genes of gametogenesis activated. A notable finding was that the genes encoding photosynthetic accessory PSBS proteins of currently unclear function in C. reinhardtii were strongly expressed following N-deprivation, providing a clue to their physiological role. Lipase-encoding genes were found to be some of the most regulated following N-deprivation, suggesting a remodeling of membranes under these conditions. The data provided here represent a rich source for the exploration of the mechanism of oil accumulation in microalgae. Examing N-replete and N-deprived conditions. One biological replicate each condition.

Bilin-dependent photoacclimation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Project description:Linear tetrapyrrole (bilin)-based phytochrome sensors optimize photosynthetic light capture by mediating massive gene reprogramming in land plants, yet surprisingly, many sequenced chlorophyte (green) algae lack phytochrome genes. Previous studies on the heme oxygenase (hmox1) mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii suggest that bilin biosynthesis in plastids is needed for regulation of a limited nuclear gene network implicated in oxygen detoxification during dark to light transitions. The hmox1 mutant is unable to grow photoautotrophically and poorly acclimates to increased illumination even in the presence of acetate. Here we show that these phenotypes reflect the reduced accumulation of PSI reaction centers as well as a loss of PSI and PSII antennae complexes during photoacclimation. Phenotypically, the hmox1 mutant is similar to the chlorophyll biosynthesis mutants, gun4, crd1 and cth1. However, many of the hmox1 phenotypes can be rescued by the application of exogenous biliverdin IXα, the bilin product of HMOX1; this rescue is independent of photosynthesis but strongly dependent upon blue light. RNA-Seq comparisons of hmox1, 4A+ wild type and two genetically complemented lines also reveal that bilins restore regulation of a small network of photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes. These include genes responsible for chlorophyll biosynthesis (CHLI1/2), PSI light-harvesting (LHCA4) and naphthoquinone metabolism (MEN2), all of which show reduced photoinduction in the hmox1 mutant. We propose that a bilin-based, blue light sensory system is responsible for the maintenance of a functional photosynthetic apparatus in light-grown C. reinhardtii. This critical and possibly ancestral role for bilins may be responsible for retention of bilin biosynthesis in all eukaryotic photosynthetic species.
