Response of D. hansenii to osmotic stress

ABSTRACT: The euryhaline marine yeast Debaromyces hansenii is a model system for the study of genes related to osmotic stress. To study the transcriptional response of this organism to osmotic stress we have used the two color microarray based gene expression analysis of 6211 genes which constitutes the whole genome. Analysis was done at three time points after induction with salt (0.5h, 3h and 6h.) The mRNA level of 64 genes significantly increased at least 3-fold after induction with 2M NaCl whereas that of 45 genes was 3-fold diminished. The induced as well as the repressed genes were grouped into functional categories to identify biochemical processes possibly affected by osmotic shock. 53% of the induced genes encode for ribosomal proteins, 12.5% for mitochondrial and redox, 6% for aminoacid, cell wall and carbohydrate, and 1.5%for heat shock, protein transport and glycerol proteins. The function of 31% of repressed genes is currently unknown. 15% of the repressed genes are involved in carbohydrate metabolism and protective function, 6% are associated with cell wall, redox and signal transduction, and 4% in vacuolar and lipid functions. Surprisingly, the activity of NAD+ glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (GPD1) involved in the glycerol biosynthesis in response to osmotic stress did not show induction.

Project description:Petelenz-kurdzeil2013 - Osmo adaptation gpd1D This model is described in the article: Quantitative analysis of glycerol accumulation, glycolysis and growth under hyper osmotic stress. Petelenz-Kurdziel E, Kuehn C, Nordlander B, Klein D, Hong KK, Jacobson T, Dahl P, Schaber J, Nielsen J, Hohmann S, Klipp E. PLoS Comput. Biol. 2013; 9(6): e1003084 Abstract: We provide an integrated dynamic view on a eukaryotic osmolyte system, linking signaling with regulation of gene expression, metabolic control and growth. Adaptation to osmotic changes enables cells to adjust cellular activity and turgor pressure to an altered environment. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae adapts to hyperosmotic stress by activating the HOG signaling cascade, which controls glycerol accumulation. The Hog1 kinase stimulates transcription of genes encoding enzymes required for glycerol production (Gpd1, Gpp2) and glycerol import (Stl1) and activates a regulatory enzyme in glycolysis (Pfk26/27). In addition, glycerol outflow is prevented by closure of the Fps1 glycerol facilitator. In order to better understand the contributions to glycerol accumulation of these different mechanisms and how redox and energy metabolism as well as biomass production are maintained under such conditions we collected an extensive dataset. Over a period of 180 min after hyperosmotic shock we monitored in wild type and different mutant cells the concentrations of key metabolites and proteins relevant for osmoadaptation. The dataset was used to parameterize an ODE model that reproduces the generated data very well. A detailed computational analysis using time-dependent response coefficients showed that Pfk26/27 contributes to rerouting glycolytic flux towards lower glycolysis. The transient growth arrest following hyperosmotic shock further adds to redirecting almost all glycolytic flux from biomass towards glycerol production. Osmoadaptation is robust to loss of individual adaptation pathways because of the existence and upregulation of alternative routes of glycerol accumulation. For instance, the Stl1 glycerol importer contributes to glycerol accumulation in a mutant with diminished glycerol production capacity. In addition, our observations suggest a role for trehalose accumulation in osmoadaptation and that Hog1 probably directly contributes to the regulation of the Fps1 glycerol facilitator. Taken together, we elucidated how different metabolic adaptation mechanisms cooperate and provide hypotheses for further experimental studies.
