Hallmarks of the dynamic responses to silica in Thalassiosira pseudonana - Identification, characterization and classification of signature genes and their corresponding motifs

ABSTRACT: The diatom cell wall, or frustule, is a highly complex, three-dimensional structure consisting of nanopatterned silica as well as proteins and other organic components. While some key components have been identified, knowledge on frustule biosynthesis is still fragmented. The model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana was subjected to silicon (Si) shift-up and shift-down situations. Cellular and molecular signatures, dynamic changes and co-regulated clusters representing the hallmarks of cellular and molecular responses to changing Si availabilities were characterised. 62 silaffin-like proteins (SFLPs), two kinases and a novel family of putatively frustule-associated transmembrane proteins induced by Si shift-up and a possible role in frustule biosynthesis were identified. A separate cluster analysis performed on all significantly regulated SFLPs, as well as fourteen new proteins with silaffin-like motifs, resulted in the classification of silaffins, cingulins and SFLPs into distinct clusters. The genes in the Si-responsive clusters are in general highly divergent, but positive selection does not seem to be the driver behind this variability. This study provides a high-resolution map over transcriptional responses to changes in Si availability in T. pseudonana. Hallmark Si-responsive genes are identified, characteristic motifs and domains are classified, and taxonomic and evolutionary implications outlined and discussed.

Transcript level coordination of carbon pathways during silicon-starvation induced lipid accumulation in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

Project description:To characterize the transcript level component of metabolic regulation, genome-wide transcript level changes were documented in the model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana over a time-course of silicon starvation. Growth, cell cycle progression, chloroplast replication, fatty acid composition, pigmentation, and photosynthetic parameters were characterized alongside lipid accumulation. Extensive coordination of large suites of genes was observed, highlighting the existence of clusters of co-regulated genes as a key feature of global gene regulation in T. pseudonana. The identity of key enzymes for carbon metabolic pathway inputs (photosynthesis) and outputs (growth and storage) reveals these clusters are organized to synchronize these processes.

Profiling the transcriptome of Thalassiosira pseudonana under silicon replete and deplete growth.

Project description:T. pseudonana tiling arrays were used to validate gene models and to predict new genes in the genome of this diatom. The tiling array data validated transcription of about 41% (4,653) of the 11,390 computationally predicted genes. An additional 1,132 transcripts were identified that did not correspond to modeled genes with few of these transcripts (<17%) predicted to encode proteins with homology (e-value < 10-05) to publicly available proteins. These newly identified transcripts have an average length of 1,549 bp, comparable to the average length of the computationally derived genes. Whole genome tiling arrays were conducted under silicon replete and deplete growth conditions to identify new genes involved in the synthesis of the diatom silica cell wall.

Coordination in the transcriptome and proteome of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana reveals a diverse phosphorus stress response

Project description:Phosphorus (P) is a critical driver of phytoplankton growth and ecosystem structure and function in the ocean. Diatoms are an abundant and widespread functional group of phytoplankton that are responsible for significant amounts of primary production in the ocean, however there has not been a comprehensive study of diatom physiological responses to P deficiency. Here, we coupled deep sequencing of transcript tags and quantitative proteomic analysis from the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana grown under P-replete and P-deficient conditions. The reads (tags) were mapped to the T. pseudonana genome sequence, confirming expression of 91% of the modeled gene set. A total of 318 genes were differentially regulated with a false discovery rate of p<0.05. A total of 1264 proteins were detected, and of those 136 were differentially expressed with a false discovery rate of p<0.05. Significant changes in the abundance of transcripts and proteins were observed and these changes were coordinated for glycolysis, translation, and multiple biochemical responses to P deficiency. These data demonstrate that diatom P deficiency results in changes in cellular P allocation through polyphosphate production, increased P transport, a switch to utilization of dissolved organic P (DOP) through increased production of alkaline phosphatase metalloenzymes and a diesterase, and a remodeling of the cell surface through production of sulfolipids. Together, these findings reveal that T. pseudonana has evolved a sophisticated response to P deficiency involving multiple biochemical strategies that are likely critical to its ability to rapidly respond to variations in environmental P availability.

Whole Transcriptome Analysis of the Silicon Response of the Diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

Project description:Diatom cell walls, made of nanostructured silica, are of interest in diverse areas ranging from cellular structure, to hierarchical organization in biomineralization, to nanotechnology. Thus far, only cell surface proteins and proteins tightly associated with silica matrix have been characterized, and essential components of the silica deposition vesicle (SDV) are unknown, including components of the SDV membrane, cytoskeletal-interacting proteins, and proteins involved in trafficking associated with the SDV. Thus, an understanding of most of the molecular components and the dynamics of cellular processes involved in cell wall synthesis is lacking. In this work we report the first whole-cell response analysis using whole genome microarrays to identify genes potentially involved in diverse aspects of diatom cell division or cell wall synthesis. Thalassiosira pseudonana transcript profiles from precise time points, known to be associated with specific cell wall formation processes in cell-cycle synchronized cultures, suggests that this gene set includes extracellular proteins, silica matrix proteins, and proteins involved in signal transduction, vesicle trafficking, and transport. Protein localization experiments further confirm the first discovery of proteins associated with the SDV membrane. We propose that these proteins provide the interface between extra-SDV organization by the cytoskeleton and intra-SDV organization of silica polymerization determinants, which lead to the higher order organization of diatom silica structure.

Diel growth of Thalassiosira pseudonana

Project description:Transcript levels of all T. pseudonana genes was measured every twelve hours throughout the batch (non-chemostatic) growth of axenic cells grown in large glass bioreactors on a 12hr:12hr dark:light cycle for five days. The data were analyzed to reveal the physiological and regulatory changes that recurred in this diatom when transitioning between dark and light conditions, as well as from exponential phase to stationary, nutrient limited conditions. The longitudinal experiment was performed with two replicates, at 400 and 800ppm CO2.

Flavobacterial exudates disrupt cell cycle progression and metabolism of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

Project description:Phytoplankton and bacteria form the base of marine ecosystems and their interactions drive global biogeochemical cycles. The effect of bacteria and bacteria-produced compounds on diatoms range from synergistic to pathogenic and can affect the physiology and transcriptional patterns of the interacting diatom. Here, we investigate physiological and transcriptional changes in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana induced by extracellular metabolites of a known antagonistic bacterium Croceibacter atlanticus. Mono-cultures of C. atlanticus released compounds that inhibited diatom cell division and elicited a distinctive phenotype of enlarged cells with multiple plastids and nuclei, similar to what was observed when the diatom was co-cultured with the live bacteria. The extracellular C. atlanticus metabolites induced transcriptional changes in diatom pathways that include recognition and signaling pathways, cell cycle regulation, carbohydrate and amino acid production, as well as cell wall stability. Phenotypic analysis showed a disruption in the diatom cell cycle progression and an increase in both intra- and extracellular carbohydrates in diatom cultures after bacterial exudate treatment. The transcriptional changes and corresponding phenotypes suggest that extracellular bacterial metabolites, produced independently of direct bacterial-diatom interaction, may modulate diatom metabolism in ways that support bacterial growth.
