Transcriptomic insights into metabolic reprogramming and exo-polysaccharide synthesis in Porphyridium purpureum under gradual nitrogen deprivation

ABSTRACT: Porphyridium species are known red microalgae for producing valuable bioactive compounds such as sulfated exopolysaccharides (EPS) with diverse industrial biomed-ical applications due to their functional and rheological properties. Recent studies have investigated how abiotic stresses, particularly nitrogen deprivation, affect Porphyridium’s metabolic regulation and EPS production through transcriptomic analysis. Still, the mechanisms governing EPS biosynthesis and the involvement of carbohydrate-activated enzymes (CAZymes) remain poorly understood. This study investigated the progressive effects of nitrate consumption on unicellular red alga P. purpureum, by integrating physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic analyses through RNA-Seq, further validated by RT-qPCR. P. purpureum displayed a gradual, phase-dependent metabolic response to progressive nitrogen stress. EPS release coincided with the decline in nitrate uptake, linking nitrogen availability to carbon redirec-tion towards polysaccharide secretion. Transcriptomic data revealed global metabolic downregulation with targeted upregulation of stress-responsive, carbohydrate catabolic, and nucleotide-sugar synthesis pathways, including upregulation of CAZyme families GT4, GT8, and GT77. Our results give insights into the coordinated nitrogen and carbon metabolic regulation underlying polysaccharide biosynthesis, while open-ing future perspectives on enzyme compartmentalization and regulatory flux distribution under nitrogen stress in P. purpureum.

Enhancing Extracellular Polysaccharide Production under Nitrate Condition through the Silencing of the Transcription Factor AreA in Ganoderma lucidum

Project description:Fungal polysaccharides are not only important components of cell walls but also important for their applications in food and medicine. Nitrogen is crucial for physiological functions of fungi. However, studies on how nitrogen affect polysaccharides biosynthesis are relatively scarce. In this study, transcriptomic profiles of strains cultured with ammonium or nitrate as the nitrogen source were examined, respevtively, and their comparative analysis resulted in the enrichment of polysaccharide synthesis pathway. Further studies revealed that ammonium nitrogen promotes the extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) synthesis, whereas nitrate enhances the intracellular polysaccharides (IPS) synthesis. Subsequently, the function of AreA, an important nitrogen metabolism transcription factor, on polysaccharides synthesis was studied. Under nitrate condition, compared to the wild-type (WT), the content of EPS increased by approximately 33%, while the content of IPS, chitin, and ?-1,3-glucan in the areA-silenced strain was significantly reduced by 24%, 20%, and 20%-25%, respectively. Changes in content of chitin and ?-1,3-glucan affect the structure and integrity of the cell wall. Compared to ammonium condition, under nitrate condition, the cell wall thinned by approximately 23% following areA silencing, and sensitivity to cell wall perturbing agents increased by approximately 20%-30%. In summary, this study elucidates the impact of nitrogen sources on the polysaccharides synthesis, offering valuable insights into strategies for enhancing polysaccharide content in G. lucidum

Differences in Shewanella algae C6G3 transcriptomes according to nature of electron acceptor (MnIV/NO3)

Project description:Shewanella algae C6G3 can conduct dissimilative nitrate reduction into ammonium and MnIV reduction. This bacteria have the unusual ability to produce anaerobically nitrite from ammonium in the presence of MnIV. This property may explain NO2/3- accumulation observed in some anaerobic zones of marine sediments. To gain insight into their metabolic capabilities, global mRNA expression patterns were investigated by RNA-seq and qRT-PCR in cells growing with lactate and ammonium as carbon and nitrogen sources and with MnIV or nitrate as electron acceptors. Genes exhibiting higher expression levels in the presence of MnIV belonged to functional categories of carbohydrate, coenzyme, lipid metabolisms and inorganic ion transport. Furthermore, comparative transcriptomic pattern between MnIV and NO3 revealed that the strain presented an ammonium limitation status with MnIV, despite the presence of identical and non-limiting concentration of ammonium in both culture conditions. Regulators ntrB/nrtC, ammonium channel, nitrogen regulatory protein P-II, glutamine synthetase and asparagine synthetase glutamine dependent genes were over-expressed. In nitrate condition, genes involved in synthesis of several amino acids were over expressed. Among the genes associated with the stress response, Kat E was highly expressed particularly under manganese condition

Rice whole transcriptome differences at two temperature levels surveyed by RNA-Seq

Project description:We report that TOG1 coordinates global changes of gene expression upon high temperature to support rice thermotolerant growth. We performed gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes in rice seedlings grown at 25 ℃ and 30 ℃ and found that when temperature increases, wild-type dramatically adjusts the expression level of hundreds of genes in GO terms polysaccharide metabolic process, carbohydrate metabolic process, glucan metabolic process, carbon fixation, response to stimulus and organic substance metabolic process required for growth. However, in a tog1 mutant, the differentially expressed genes in response to the temperature increase significantly enriched in GO terms response to stimulus, response to oxidative stress and response to stress, whereas the coordination of primary metabolic processes and carbon fixation were largely impaired or undetectable. Differentially expressed mRNA profiles of 22-day-old wild type (WT) and tog1 rice upon a temperature difference were generated by deep sequencing

Regulatory functions of cellular energy sensor SnRK1 for nitrate signaling through NLP7 repression

Project description:Coordinated metabolism of carbon and nitrogen is essential for optimal plant growth and development. Nitrate is an important molecular signal for plant adaptation to changing environmental conditions, but how nitrate regulates plant growth under carbon deficiency conditions remains unclear. Here, we show that the evolutionarily conserved energy sensor SnRK1 negatively regulates the nitrate signaling pathway. Nitrate promoted plant growth and downstream gene expression, but such effects were significantly repressed when plants were grown under carbon deficiency conditions. Mutation of KIN10, the α-catalytic subunit of SnRK1, partially suppressed the inhibitory effects of carbon deficiency on nitrate-mediated plant growth. KIN10 phosphorylated NLP7, the master regulator of nitrate signaling pathway, to promote its cytoplasmic localization and degradation. Furthermore, nitrate depletion induced KIN10 accumulation, whereas nitrate treatment promoted KIN10 degradation. Such KIN10-mediated NLP7 regulation allows carbon and nitrate availability to control the optimal nitrate signaling and ensures the coordination of carbon and nitrogen metabolism in plants.

Diatom transcriptomics under nitrate limitation

Project description:Here, we examined the ramifications of between-species diversity by documenting the transcriptional response of three marine diatoms - Thalassiosira pseudonana, Fragilariopsis cylindrus, and Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries - to the onset of nitrate limitation of growth, a common limiting nutrient in the ocean. Less than 5% of orthologous genes, shared across the three diatoms, displayed the same transcriptional responses across species when growth was limited by nitrate availability. Orthologs, such as those involved in nitrogen uptake and assimilation, as well as carbon metabolism, were differently expressed across the three species. The two pennate diatoms, F. cylindrus and P. multiseries, shared 3,839 clusters without orthologs in the genome of the centric diatom T. pseudonana. A majority of these pennate-clustered genes, as well as the non-orthologous genes in each species, had minimal annotation information, but were often significantly differentially expressed under nitrate limitation, indicating their potential importance in the response to nitrogen availability. Despite these variations in the specific transcriptional response of each diatom, overall transcriptional patterns suggested that all three diatoms displayed a common physiological response to nitrate limitation that consisted of a general reduction in carbon fixation and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism and an increase in nitrogen recycling.

Responses of maize source leaf metabolism to low temperature, low nitrogen and low phosphorus stress

Project description:Abiotic stress causes disturbances in the cellular homeostasis. Re-adjustment of balance in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism therefore plays a central role in stress adaptation. However, it is currently unknown which parts of the primary cell metabolism follow common patterns under different stress conditions and which represent specific responses. To address these questions, changes in transcriptome, metabolome and ionome were analyzed in maize source leaves from plants suffering low temperature, low nitrogen (N) and low phosphorus (P) stress. The selection of maize as study object provided data directly from an important crop species and the so far underexplored C4 metabolism. Growth retardation was comparable under all tested stress conditions. The only primary metabolic pathway responding similar to all stresses was nitrate assimilation, which was down-regulated. The largest group of commonly regulated transcripts followed the expression pattern: down under low temperature and low N, but up under low P. Several members of this transcript cluster could be connected to P metabolism and correlated negatively to different phosphate concentration in the leaf tissue. Accumulation of starch under low temperature and low N stress, but decrease in starch levels under low under low P conditions indicated that only low P treated leaves suffered carbon starvation. In conclusion, maize employs very different strategies for management of nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism under stress. While nitrate assimilation was regulated depending on demand by growth processes, phosphate concentrations changed depending on availability, thus building up reserves under excess conditions. Carbon and energy metabolism of the C4 maize leaves were particularly sensitive to P starvation.

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

Transcriptomic analysis of Staphylococcus xylosus in the presence of nitrate and nitrite in meat reveals its response to nitrosative stress

Project description:Staphylococcus xylosus is one of the major starter cultures used for meat fermentation because of its crucial role in the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, which contributes to color and flavor development. Despite the long use of these additives, their impact on the physiology of S. xylosus has not yet been explored. We present the first in situ global gene expression profile of S. xylosus in meat supplemented with nitrate and nitrite. More than 600 genes of S. xylosus were differentially expressed at 24 or 72 hours of incubation. They represent more than 20% of the total genes and led us to suppose that addition of nitrate and nitrite to meat leads to a global change in gene expression. This profile revealed that S. xylosus is subject to nitrosative stress caused by reactive nitrogen species generated from nitrate and nitrite. To overcome this stress, S. xylosus has developed several oxidative stress resistance mechanisms, such as modulation of the expression of several genes involved in iron homeostasis and in antioxidant defense. Most of these genes belong to the Fur and PerR regulons respectively. S. xylosus has also counteracted this stress by developing DNA and protein repair. Furthermore, it has adapted its metabolic response—carbon and nitrogen metabolism, energy production and cell wall biogenesis—to the alterations produced by nitrosative stress.

Microbial consortia driving lignocellulose transformation in agricultural woodchip bioreactors

Project description:Freshwater ecosystems can be largely affected by neighboring agriculture fields where potential fertilizer nitrate run-off may leach into surrounding water bodies. To counteract this eutrophic driver, farmers often utilize denitrifying woodchip bioreactors (WBRs) in which a consortium of microorganisms convert the nitrate into nitrogen-gases in anoxia, fueled by the degradation of lignocellulose. Polysaccharide-degrading strategies have been well-described for various aerobic and anaerobic systems, including the use of carbohydrate-active enzymes, utilization of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and other redox enzymes, as well as the use of cellulosomes and polysaccharide utilization loci. However, for denitrifying microorganisms, the lignocellulose-degrading strategies remain largely unknown. Here, we have applied a combination of enrichment techniques, gas measurements, multi-omics approaches, and amplicon sequencing of fungal ITS and procaryotic 16S rRNA genes to highlight microbial drivers for lignocellulose transformation in woodchip bioreactors with the aim to provide an in-depth characterization of the indigenous microorganisms and their active enzymes. Our findings highlight a microbial community enriched for lignocellulose-degrading denitrifiers with key players from Giesbergeria, Cellulomonas, Azonexus, and UBA5070, including polysaccharide utilization loci from Bacteroidetes. A wide substrate specificity is observed among the many expressed carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes), evidencing a swift degradation of lignocellulose, including even enzymes with auxiliary activities whose functionality is still puzzling under strict anaerobic conditions.
