Understanding lipid metabolism in high-lipid-producing Chlorella vulgaris mutants at the genome-wide level

ABSTRACT: In this study, physical and chemical mutagenesis methods were applied to enhance lipid productivity in Chlorella vulgaris. Then, de novo RNA-seq was performed to observe lipid metabolism changes at the genome-wide level. Characterization of two mutants, UV-715 and EMS-25, showed marked increases in lipid contents, i.e., 42% and 45%, respectively. In addition, the biomass productivity of the UV-715 cells was 9% higher than that of wild-type cells. Furthermore, gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry analysis showed that both mutants have higher fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) contents than wild-type cells. To understand the effect of mutations that caused yield changes in UV-715 and EMS-25 cells at a genome-wide level, we carried out de novo RNA-seq. As expected, the transcriptional levels of the lipid biosynthesis genes were up-regulated, while the transcriptional levels of genes involved in lipid catabolism were down-regulated. Surprisingly, the transcriptional levels of the genes involved in nitrate assimilation and detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were significantly increased in the mutants. The genome-wide analysis results highlight the importance of nitrate metabolism and detoxification of ROS for high biomass and lipid productivity.

Trade-off between growth and carbohydrate accumulation in nutrient-limited Arthrospira sp. PCC 8005 studied by integrating transcriptomic and proteomic approaches

Project description:Cyanobacteria have a strong potential for biofuel production due to their ability to accumulate large amounts of carbohydrates. Nitrogen (N) stress can be used to increase the content of carbohydrates in the biomass, but it is expected to reduce biomass productivity. To study this trade-off between carbohydrate accumulation and biomass productivity, we characterized the biomass productivity, biomass composition as well as the transcriptome and proteome of the cyanobacterium Arthrospira sp. PCC 8005 cultured under N-limiting and N-replete conditions. N limitation resulted in a large increase in the carbohydrate content of the biomass (from 14 to 74%) and a decrease in the protein content (from 37 to 10%). Nevertheless, it did not affect the biomass productivity of the culture up to five days after N was depleted from the culture medium. Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis indicated that de novo protein synthesis was down-regulated in the N-limited culture. Proteins were degraded and partly converted into carbohydrates through gluconeogenesis. Cellular N derived from protein degradation was recycled through the TCA and GS-GOGAT cycles. In addition, photosynthetic energy production and carbon fixation were both down-regulated, while glycogen synthesis was up-regulated. Our results suggested that N limitation resulted in a redirection of photosynthetic energy from protein synthesis to glycogen synthesis. The fact that glycogen synthesis has a lower energy demand than protein synthesis might explain why Arthrospira is able to achieve a similar biomass productivity under N-limited as under N-replete conditions despite the fact that photosynthetic energy production was impaired by N limitation.

CPK signaling orchestrates the plant nitrate regulatory network

Project description:Nitrate is the limiting nitrogen nutrient enabling photosynthetic plants to support the conversion of inorganic elements to organic biomass, which sustains all lives. Plants evolved multifaceted nitrate responses to modulate global gene expression, metabolism and developmental programs. However, primary nitrate signaling mechanisms remained elusive. Using an ultrasensitive Ca2+ biosensor, unique nitrate-induced Ca2+ signaling was illuminated in Arabidopsis cells and plants. Integrative functional genomic screens, chemical genetics, genome-wide transcript sequencing, and analyses of nitrate-associated traits uncovered the surprising roles of Ca2+ sensor protein kinases (CPKs) in orchestrating diverse primary and long-term nitrate responses. Nitrate specifies CPK signaling to reprogram transcriptome and govern N-assimilation, metabolism, transport, hormones, shoot growth, and root system architecture. CPKs may be targeted to enhance nitrogen-use-efficiency, reduce fertilizer demands, and alleviate ecosystem pollution.

Nitrate and ammonium affect the overall maize response to nitrogen availability by triggering specific and common transcriptional signatures in root

Project description:Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for crops. Plants developed several responses to N fluctuations, thus optimizing the root architecture in response to N availability. Nitrate and ammonium are the main N inorganic forms taken up by plants and act as both nutrients and signals, affecting gene expression and plant development. In this study, RNA-sequencing was applied to gain comprehensive information on the pathways underlying the response of maize root, pre-treated in an N-deprived solution, to the provision of nitrate or ammonium. To assess the physiological response to these nutrients the shoot and root growth, the leaf pigment content and the amino acid amount in root and shoot were assessed. The analysis of the transcriptome shows that nitrate and ammonium regulate overlapping and distinct pathways, thus leading to different responses. NH4+ activates the response to stress, while NO3- acts as a negative regulator of transmembrane transport. Both the N-source repress genes related to the cytoskeleton and reactive oxygen species detoxification. Moreover, the presence of ammonium induces the accumulation of anthocyanins, while reduces biomass and chlorophyll and flavonoids accumulation. The profiles observed for hydrolysed and free amino acids highlighted common and distinct features in response to the two nitrogen forms.

Characterization of temporal and spatial patterns of gene expression in response to nitrate in Arabidopsis roots

Project description:As multicellular organisms, plants must integrate responses to environmental cues across different cell types and also over time. Nitrate is the major source of available Nitrogen for plants, and a limiting factor for plant growth and productivity. Plant root s are highly impacted by nitrate availability, modifying their architecture to optimize nitrate uptake from soils. In order to understand how this functional response is dynamically orchestrated across different cell types of the root, space and time must be addressed within the same experimental setup. We performed a transcriptomic analysis in five major root cell types of Arabidopsis plants in response to nitrate treatments considering short and long time exposure to this macronutrient. We found nitrate treatment triggers a dynamic reprogramming of root cell gene expression that follows a spatial pattern over time consistent with an early regulation of nitrate transport and assimilation in external layers of the root and a later regulation of hormonal and developmental processes in more internal layers of the root.

Expression data from low nitrate culture in root in maize

Project description:Nitrate is the major source of nitrogen available for many crop plants and is often the limiting factor for plant growth and agricultural productivity especially for maize. Many studies have been done identifying the transcriptome changes under low nitrate conditions. However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) varied under nitrate limiting conditions in maize has not been reported. MiRNAs play important roles in abiotic stress responses and nutrient deprivation. Root is the organ that plants transport nitrate. we used the microarray systems to perform a genome-wide search to detect miRNAs responding to the chronic and transient nitrate limiting conditions in maize. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous RNAs that are regulators of gene expression in plants and animals. And, miRNAs have been known for years to be important for phosphate, sulphate and copper deprivation responses in plants. In Arabidopsis, small RNA deep sequencing associated with nitrate response had been analyzed. However, information about the way by which miRNA are regulated by abiotic stresses in general and by low nitrate in particular is unavailable for maize. In this study, we used GeneChip® microarray systems to perform a genome-wide search to detect miRNAs responding to the chronic and transient nitrate limiting conditions in roots in maize.

Impact of NRT1.1 point mutants on gene expression under high NH4NO3 supply

Project description:NRT1.1 is a nitrate transceptor involved in many nitrate responses including the regulation of gene expression through (i) the Primary Nitrate Response (PNR) and (ii) the regulation the NRT2.1 gene under continuous high NH4NO3 conditions. Phosphorylation of NRT1.1’s T101 residue is involved in the modulation of the PNR whereas nitrate transport by NRT1.1 is not. Here we used various NRT1.1 point mutants to study the impact of NRT1.1 on the whole transcriptome under high NH4NO3 supply. Col is the WT control, chl1-5 and chl1-12 are KO mutants, chl1-9 is defective in nitrate transport but not in PNR induction, T101D and T101A mimick the phosphorylated and not phosphorylated forms of NRT1.1 respectively.
