Transcriptional analysis of the adaptation of Ustilago maydis to grow under nitrogen fixation conditions

ABSTRACT: In this study we show the transcriptional analysis after shifting the Ustilago maydis from media with ammonium as a nitrogen source to media lacking ammonium. From these, 49 genes were up-regulated and 41 were down-regulated. The functional description and gene ontology terms associated to the diferentially expressed genes revealed that various key pathways were represented, including, secondary metabolism, the metabolism of nitrogen, amino acid, fatty acid and amino sugar, among others, suggesting that the interplay of U. maydis with its N2 fixing bacterial endosymbiont is a flexible process that may be active during the adaptation to the fungus to the different nitrogen sources, and possibly during its pathogenic style of life.

Quantitative Analysis of Ustilago maydis Secretome in Wild-Type and Δrow1 Strains

Project description:In this project, we conducted a quantitative analysis of secreted proteins during the initial stages of the pathogenic program in Ustilago maydis. We utilized the AB33 strain, which contains the compatible bE2/bW1 genes controlled by the nitrate-inducible nar1 promoter. Consequently, in nitrogen-rich media, the virulence program is initiated, leading to the development of filaments. Filamentation was induced for 5 hours in minimal medium supplemented with NO3 (MM-NO3) in both the AB33 wild-type and Δrow1 strains. Subsequently, samples were collected, precipitated, processed, and analyzed.

Dal81 regulates expression of arginine biosynthesis genes in Candida parapsilosis

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida parapsilosis in media with a preferred nitrogen source (ammonium sulfate) and a non-preferred source (isoleucine) to identify genes that are subject to Nitrogen Catabolite Expression. Gene expression of wild type and dal81 deletion strains were compared during growth in complex nitrogen sources (YPD), in minimal media with a preferred nitrogen source (YNB+ammonium sulfate) and minimal medium with a non-preferred source (GABA).

Transcription profiling of G sulfurreducens GGS nitrogen fixation

Project description:G. sulfurreducens (ATCC #51573) was obtained from the laboratory culture collection of Dr. Derek Lovley. Cells were grown under strict anaerobic conditions at 30 °C in chemostats, as previously described (for more information see Esteve-Núñez, A., M. M. Rothermich, M. Sharma, and D. R. Lovley. 2004. Growth of Geobacter sulfurreducens under nutrient-limiting conditions in continuous culture. Environ. Microbiol.:in press.), with acetate (5 mM) as the electron donor and fumarate (27.5 mM) as the electron acceptor. For growth in the absence of fixed nitrogen, the ammonium chloride (4.7 mM) was omitted from the medium and fumarate served as the electron acceptor. Therefore, cultures with ammonium chloride were limited by acetate while cultures without ammonium chloride were limited by nitrogen. Cultures were maintained at a dilution rate of 0.05 h-1 for 5 culture vessel volumes to ensure that cells were at steady-state prior to harvesting. Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 4 °C and the cell pellet was flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80 °C prior to RNA extraction. Cells grown in the absence of ammonium had acetylene reduction rates of 0.012 nmol/hr compared to 0.003 nmol/hr in ammonium-grown cells, providing evidence that these cells were fixing nitrogen.. The steady-state concentration of cells in the nitrogen-fixing chemostats (0.178 mg/mL + 0.011; mean + standard deviation, n=3) was significantly lower than chemostats provided with ammonium (0.45 mg/mL + 0.007). Three cultures of acetate limited growth with fumarate as the electron acceptor and three cultures of nitrogen limited growth with fumarate as the electron acceptor were grown. Each culture vessel was harvested and extracted for total RNA separately to produce three biological replicates for this experiment.

Transcriptional profiles of Haloferax mediterranei based on nitrogen availability

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Haloferax mediterranei in three culture media with different nitrogen sources: a) cells were grown stationary and exponentially on ammonium, b) cells were grown exponentially on nitrate, and c) cells were shifted to nitrogen starvation conditions. The main differences in the transcriptional profiles have been identified between the cultures with ammonium as nitrogen source and the cultures with nitrate or nitrogen starvation, supporting previous results which indicate the absence of ammonium as the factor causing the expression of genes involved in nitrate assimilation pathway.

Global transcriptional profiling of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides under nitrogen limitation.

Project description:Nitrogen limitation is a major regulator to initiate lipid overproduction in oleaginous fungi. To examine the influence of nitrogen starvation, chemiostat cultures of R. toruloides in defined media with abundant ammonium (MM) or minute ammonium (MM-N) were performed to obtain steady-state samples. Then Illumina's digital gene expression (DGE) technology was used for high-throughput transcriptome profiling of these samples.

RNA-Seq provides new insights into the nitrogen response of Azoarcus olearius BH72 during N2-fixation beyond the nitrogen fixation process

Project description:Azoarcus olearius BH72 is a diazotrophic endophyte carrying out biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and supplying nitrogen to its host plant. Our previous microarray approach provided insights in the transcriptome of strain BH72 under N2-fixation in comparison to ammonium-grown conditions, which already indicated induction of genes not related to the BNF process. Due to the known limitations of the technique, we might have missed additional differentially regulated genes (DEGs). Thus we used directional RNA-Seq to better comprehend the transcriptional landscape under these growth conditions. RNA-Seq detected almost 24 % of the annotated genes to be regulated, twice the amount identified by microarray. In addition to confirming entire regulated operons containing known DEGs, the new approach detected induction of genes involved in carbon metabolism and flagellar and twitching motility. On the other hand, genes encoding for proteins involved in translation and vitamin biosynthesis were detected to be suppressed. Nonetheless, strain BH72 appears not to be content with N2-fixation but is primed for alternative economic N-sources, such as nitrate, urea or amino acids: we detected strong induction of machineries for uptake and assimilation.

Role of Ustilago Ncr1 in nitrogen utilization

Project description:The basidiomycete Ustilago maydis is the causal agent of corn smut disease and induces tumor formation during biotrophic growth in its host plant maize. The Usilago maydis genome harbors a homolog to the GATA transcription factors Nit2 and AreA that act as global regulators of nitrogen catabolite repression in filamentous model fungi Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans. We aimed at resolving the role of the Ustilago maydis homolog Ncr1 for the utilization of complex nitrogen sources and pathogenicity. Sporidia of the indicated Ustilago maydis strains were grown overnight in ammonium minimal medium (Holliday, 1976) and samples for total RNA extraction were taken 2h after transfer to minimal medium lacking any nitrogen source (-N) during the exponential growth phase to assess those genes that are regulated in response to nitrogen starvation. The solopathogenic strain SG200 (control) and deletion mutants of (Nitrogen catabolite repression1) Ncr1 and (Target of Ncr1) Ton1, both being in the SG200 background, were studied in two independent experiments (one experiment for Ton1). Per strain and experiment, three biological replicate samples were analyzed (except for only biological replicates for Ncr1 in the second experiment).

Transcriptional Analysis of an Ammonium-Excreting Strain of Azotobacter vinelandii Deregulated for Nitrogen Fixation

Project description:The transcriptional differences found during stationary-phase ammonium accumulation show a strong contrast between the deregulated (nifL disrupted) and wild-type strain, and to what was reported for the wild-type strain under exponential growth related to key processes involved in driving the process of nitrogen fixation in A. vinelandii. These results further illuminate a number of additional genes associated with siderophore synthesis, molybdate transfer and electron transfer that are likely associated with biological nitrogen fixation.
