The Small Protein cS24 Encoded by Gene ssr3189 is an RNA-Binding Ribosomal Protein Specific for Cyanobacteria that Is Involved in Metabolic Regulation

ABSTRACT: Cyanobacteria are oxygenic phototrophs that are regularly exposed to fluctuating environmental conditions. Particularly the availability of CO2 and combined nitrogen sources vary in many aquatic habitats. In the present study we characterized the phenotype of an ssr3189 deletion mutant. Gene ssr3189 encodes a recently discovered small protein of the ribosomal small subunit, here called cS24. This gene and its homologs are specific for cyanobacteria. We demonstrate that cS24, the protein encoded by ssr3189 is an RNA-binding protein. Deletion of ssr3189 resulted in lower pigmentation, delayed growth, and alterations in the expression of genes encoding transporters for nitrogen and Ci, and metabolic enzymes. Metabolomic analysis revealed a substantial overaccumulation of glutamine and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates in the deletion mutant, and further differences in the amino acid and organic acid pools compared to the wild type. Co-immunoprecipitation with a strain expressing C-terminally tagged cS24 yielded ribosomal protein S21, enolase and the Cas6-1 endoribonuclease as the most strongly co-enriched proteins, consistent with the involvement with ribosomes and pointing at further functions.

Transcription profiling time series of cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus marinus subsp. pastoris str. CCMP1986 (MED4) and str. MIT 9313 grown in media with different levels and sources of nitrogen

Project description:Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus marinus subsp. pastoris str. CCMP1986 (MED4) and Prochlorococcus marinus str. MIT 9313 (MIT9313) are oceanic oxygenic phototrophs, where MED4 is abundant in surface waters (~0-50 meters) and MIT9313 is abundant at depths of ~100 meters. To explore nitrogen-regulated changes in gene expression in these Prochlorococcus ecotypes, log phase cultures of MED4 and MIT9313 were transferred to either nitrogen-replete (800 uM ammonium) or medium lacking supplemental nitrogen. Samples were taken over a time series in order to characterize changes in physiology and gene expression during increasing nitrogen starvation. The two ecotypes' molecular responses to different nitrogen sources were also assessed by comparing gene expression of log phase cultures growing in ammonium vs. urea and cyanate (MED4), and vs. urea and nitrite (MIT9313).

The Conserved Small Protein SniP3 is Involved in Nitrogen Stress Response and Metabolic Regulation among Cyanobacteria

Project description:Cyanobacteria are oxygenic phototrophs that are regularly exposed to fluctuating environmental conditions. Particularly the availability of CO2 and combined nitrogen sources vary in many aquatic habitats. In the present study we investigated the role of SniP3, a well conserved, 3 kDa nitrogen starvation-induced protein, which is mainly localized on thylakoid membranes. Deletion of sniP3 resulted in a non-bleaching phenotype and reduced glycogen accumulation under N-limited conditions. Many more distinct metabolic alterations were observed, whereas the signaling molecule 2-oxoglutarate and the overall transcriptome remained comparable in mutant and wild-type cells under N-replete and N-deplete conditions. The SniP3 interactome revealed glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gap2) as main specific interaction partner. Gap2 activity was lowered in cells of the sniP3 mutant, while the activity of recombinant Gap2 was stimulated in the presence of the soluble N-terminal part of SniP3. Corresponding to the interaction of SniP3 and Gap2, the sniP3 mutant was unable to grow heterotrophically with glucose in the dark. Collectively, our result imply that the SniP3 protein plays an important role in the regulation of the cyanobacterial metabolism under fluctuation C/N conditions.

Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 LC-MSMS

Project description:Cyanobacteria play pivotal roles in global biogeochemical cycles through oxygenic photosynthesis. To maintain cellular homeostasis, these organisms employ sophisticated acclimation mechanisms to adapt to environmental fluctuations, particularly nitrogen availability. While nitrogen deprivation triggers dormancy, excess ammonium exerts toxic effects on cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic organisms - a phenomenon whose acclimation mechanisms remain poorly understood. TurboID based proximity labeling coupled with quantitative proteomics revealed a robust set of putative Sll0528 interacting proteins.

Elucidating the direct target regulon of NtcA during the early acclimation to nitrogen starvation in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Cyanobacteria are oxygenic photoautotrophs responsible for a substantial proportion of nitrogen fixation and primary production in the hydrosphere. Non-nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria, such as Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, depend of the availability of nitrogenized species to survive. Therefore, an intricate regulatory network around the transcriptional factor NtcA maintains the homeostasis of nitrogen in these organisms. The mechanisms controlling NtcA activity are well understood but a comprehensive study of its regulon is missing in Synechocystis. To define NtcA regulon during the early stage of nitrogen starvation, we have performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChiP-seq), in parallel with genome level transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq). By combining both methods we assigned 51 activated and 28 repressed genes directly by NtcA. Most of direct targets included genes involved in nitrogen and carbon metabolism and photosynthesis. NtcA regulon also included 8 ncRNAs, of which ncr0710, Syr6 and NsiR7 were experimentally validated. Intriguingly, we identified several NtcA intragenic binding sites suggesting that NtcA can modulate transcriptional expression by binding along the whole transcript and not only in the promoter region as previously though. Finally, the transcriptional implication of PipX was analyzed in some NtcA-targets genes, revealing that PipX assists NtcA in the global nitrogen regulation in Synechocystis.

Expression analysis of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 nblD mutant in nitrogen starvation and normal condition in contrast to wild type

Project description:Small proteins are an underinvestigated class of gene products in all domains of life. Here we describe the role of NsiR6/NblD, a cysteine-rich 66 amino acid small protein in the acclimation response of cyanobacteria to nitrogen starvation. Phycobilisomes, the macromolecular pigment-protein complexes for photosynthetic light harvesting, are rapidly degraded upon shift to low nitrogen. Deletion of nblD in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 prevents this degradation, indicated by the non-bleaching (nbl) phenotype. Complementation by a plasmid-localized gene copy fully restored the phenotype of the wild type, while overexpression of NblD under nitrogen-replete conditions did not lead to any phenotypical effect, different from the unrelated proteolysis adaptors NblA1 and NblA2, which can trigger phycobilisome degradation ectopically. However, transcriptome analysis revealed that nitrogen starvation induced nblA1/2 transcription in the ΔnblD strain, which excluded the possibility that the nbl phenotype was due to a possible NblD function as transcriptional co-regulator. In contrast, fractionation experiments indicated the presence of NblD in the phycobilisome fraction and pull-down experiments with NblD containing a triple FLAG tag identified the α and β phycocyanin subunits as the only two co-purifying proteins. Homologs of NblD exist in all cyanobacteria that use phycobilisomes but not in the genera Prochlorococcus and Acaryochloris which use alternative light-harvesting mechanisms. These data suggest that NblD plays a crucial role in the coordinated dismantling of phycobilisomes when nitrogen becomes limiting. We performed a microarray, to examine the global expression pattern of wild type and ∆nblD isolated RNA after 0h and 3h past induction of nitrogen depletion (-N) to detect potential differences in the nitrogen acclimation process.

TrxA-mediated regulation of protein synthesis contributes to the maintenance of carbon and nitrogen balance in cyanobacteria.

Project description:Thioredoxins play an essential role in regulating enzyme activity upon response to environmental changes, especially in photosynthetic organisms. These are crucial for the regulation of metabolism in cyanobacteria, but the key central processes redox-regulated remain to be determined. Physiological, metabolic and transcriptomic characterization of a conditional mutant of the essential trxA gene in Synechocystis (STXA2) revealed that reduced TrxA levels alter cell morphology and enter in a dormant-like state. TrxA depletion in the STXA2 strain inhibited protein synthesis and led to changes in amino acid pools and nitrogen/carbon reserve polymers, accompanied by oxidation of the Elongation Factor EF-Tu. Transcriptomic analysis of TrxA depletion in STXA2 showed a robust transcriptional response. Genes that responded negatively were grouped in a large cluster and were directly related to photosynthesis, ATP synthesis and CO2 fixation, while genes that responded positively were grouped in different clusters and related to respiratory electron transport, carotenoids synthesis, amino acid metabolism and protein degradation, among others. Regulation of cyanobacterial metabolism is complex and fine-tuned, our results link TrxA to the switch from anabolic to maintenance metabolism in cyanobacteria, regulating carbon and nitrogen balance.

Phosphoproteome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and its dynamics during nitrogen starvation

Project description:Cyanobacteria have shaped the earth’s biosphere as the first oxygenic photoautotrophs and still play an important role in many ecosystems. The ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions is an essential characteristic in order to ensure survival. To this end, numerous studies have shown that bacteria use protein post-translational modifications such as Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation in cell signalling, adaptation and regulation. Nevertheless, our knowledge of cyanobacterial phosphoproteomes and their dynamic response to environmental stimuli is relatively limited. In this study, we applied gel-free methods and high accuracy mass spectrometry towards the unbiased detection of Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation events in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. We could identify over 300 phosphorylation events in cultures grown on nitrate as exclusive nitrogen source. Chemical dimethylation labelling was applied to investigate proteome and phosphoproteome dynamics during nitrogen starvation. Our dataset describes the most comprehensive (phospho)proteome of Synechocystis to date, identifying 2,382 proteins and 183 phosphorylation events and quantifying 2,111 proteins and 148 phosphorylation events during nitrogen starvation. Global protein phosphorylation levels were increased in response to nitrogen depletion after 24 hours. Among the proteins with increased phosphorylation, the PII signalling protein showed the highest fold-change, serving as positive control. Other proteins with increased phosphorylation levels comprised functions in photosynthesis and in carbon and nitrogen metabolism. This study reveals dynamics of Synechocystis phosphoproteome in response to environmental stimuli and suggests an important role of protein Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation in fundamental mechanisms of homeostatic control in cyanobacteria.

Differentially forms of nitrogen regulates the response of Microcystis aeruginosa to nanoplastics under environmentally relevant nitrogen concentration

Project description:As an essential primary producer, cyanobacteria play an important role in the global cycle for both carbon and nitrogen in the ecosystems. Though the influence of nanoplastics on the carbon metabolism of cyanobacteria, especial Microcystis aeruginosa, a dominant species causing cyanobacterial blooms, is well studied, little is known about nanoplastics affecting the nitrogen metabolism.
