Nitric oxide signaling and its role in oxidative stress response in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

ABSTRACT: In examining NO signaling in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we found that the putative NO dioxygenase SPAC869.02c (named Yhb1) and the S-nitrosoglutathione reductase Fmd2 cooperatively reduced intracellular NO levels as NO-detoxification enzymes. Although both protein levels were increased with exogenous NO, their expression patterns were different during growth phases. While expression of Yhb1 in the log phase was abrogated by treatment with an NO synthase inhibitor, induction of Fmd2 in the stationary phase was correlated with elevated mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Moreover, NO was localized in the mitochondria specifically in the stationary phase, suggesting that there are at least two distinctive types of NO signaling in S. pombe cells. For mitochondrial NO signaling, pretreatment with an NO donor effectively rescued the cell viability by repressing generation of ROS under oxidative stress. DNA microarray analysis revealed that exogenous NO contributes to tolerance to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stress by (i) inhibition of Fe3+ to Fe2+conversion, (ii) upregulation of the H2O2-detoxifying enzymes, and (iii) downregulation of the MRC genes. Therefore, NO is suggested to play a pivotal role in the negative feedback system to regulate ROS levels under oxidative stress in S. pombe cells.

Project description:Regulation of gene expression by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an important component of abiotic stress signal transduction mechanisms. Previous genome-wide analysis of chilling-induced changes in gene expression suggested a potential role of H2O2 and other ROS as key signals in the induction of early response genes in japonica rice (cv. Nipponbare). Candidate regulators including bZIP-, Myb- or WRKY-types of transcription factors that were responsive to both chilling (10oC) and exogenous H2O2, and their probable target clusters (as1/ocs/TGA1-like, MybR-like element containing genes) were inferred by integrative analysis of qPCR expression profiles and ab initio promoter motif data. In an effort to define the composition and hierarchical organization of the ROS-mediated chilling response regulatory networks, we examined the effect of exogenous H2O2 (6 hours in 4mM H2O2 at 28oC and then 6 hours of recovery in water at 28oC) on the transcriptome of Nipponbare in a genome-wide scale and compared them with the chilling stress transcriptome. Results of this study were consistent with our earlier model that a ROSbZIP-as1/ocs/TGA1 regulatory module is a direct consequence of chilling-induced elevation of intracellular ROS during the initial 24 hours. Keywords: time course (response to exogenous H2O2) This experiment describes the analysis of the temporal changes in gene expression in response to exogenous H2O2 in Nipponbare rice. A total of 5 treatment regimes were examined (1, 3, and 6 hours at 4 mM H2O2 and then 3 and 6 hours of recovery in water after 6 hours of exposure to H2O2). The microarray platform used in this study was the 45K oligonucleotide microarray (www.ricearray.org) which comes in pairs of slides A and B (each containing about 50% of the total number of features). The data described in this series include all hybridizations with slide A and with slide B. All experiments were performed with two independent biological replicates (R1 and R2) for each time point.
