Project description:Metal-binding proteins (MBPs) play diverse and critical functions in all living systems and many human diseases are closely related to dysfunctional MBPs. Here we developed a chemoproteomic method named METAL-TPP for global discovery of MBPs in proteomes, which operates by extracting metals from MBPs with chelators and logging the resulting structural perturbation of MBPs with thermal proteome profiling. We applied METAL-TPP to the human proteomes and identified 2856 proteins with significant thermal shifts, including not only many known MBPs but also 75 proteins without previous annotation of metal-binding activity.

Project description:Plants growing in soil are challenged by multiple biotic (e.g. pathogens) and abiotic (e.g. heavy metals) stressors. Stress resistance is a key determinant for plants to thrive in the environment. Resistance to pathogens requires innate immunity , whereas tolerance to metal ions is accomplished by mechanisms such as complexation and compartmentation. Some transition metals can enhance plant’s defense against pathogens4,5, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that an Arabidopsis head-to-head gene pair of intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors antagonistically control transition metal-triggered immunity. One NLR, STM2 directly perceives transition metal ions, such as Cd2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+, as a ligand to activate its NAD+ hydrolytic activity and immune responses, triggering enhanced resistance to the soil-borne bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum. The other NLR, STM1 suppresses STM2 to protect plants from transition metal-triggered immunity and growth inhibition in the presence of excess metals. STM1 also dampens resistance to the pathogen. Our study defines an NLR activated by transition metals and reveals a trade-off between resistance to pathogens and tolerance to transition metals that are pervasive in soil.

Project description:Background: The high number of heavy metal resistance genes in the soil bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 makes it an interesting model organism to study microbial responses to heavy metals. Results: In this study the transcriptional response of this bacterium was measured after challenging it to a wide range of sub-lethal concentrations of various essential or toxic metals. Considering the global transcriptional responses for each challenge as well as by identifying the overlap in upregulated genes between different metal responses, the sixteen metals could be clustered in three different groups. Additionally, next to the assessment of the transcriptional response of already known metal resistance genes, new metal response gene clusters were identified. The majority of the metal response loci showed similar expression profiles when cells were exposed to different metals, suggesting complex cross-talk at transcriptional level between the different metal responses. The highly redundant nature of these metal resistant regions – illustrated by the large number of paralogous genes – combined with the phylogenetic distribution of these metal response regions within evolutionary related and other metal resistant bacteria, provides important insights on the recent evolution of this naturally soil dwelling bacterium towards a highly metal-resistant strain found in harsh and anthropogenic environments. Conclusions: The metal-resistant soil bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 displays myriads of gene expression patterns when exposed to a wide range of heavy metals at non-lethal concentrations. The interplay between the different gene expression clusters points towards a complex cross-regulated regulatory network governing heavy metal resistance in C. metallidurans CH34.

Project description:This study aimed to investigate the transcriptional differences to metal exposure in two populations of Brown trout. These trout were taken from two separate locations, one population with historic exposure to metals and evidence of metal tolerance, and a second population from a clean environment. These fish were then exposed to metals within a laboratory environment and the transcriptional response before and after exposure was assessed in both liver and gill tissues. Six biological replicates were taken from each condition/population/tissue combination.

Project description:Many veterans live with military grade heavy metal fragments retained in soft tissue. Retained heavy metal fragments may negatively impact health in various organ systems and can manifest as gastrointestinal, neurocognitive, pulmonary and renal disturbances. As such, a better understanding of the long-term effects of retained metals and identification of biomarkers indicative of detrimental health outcomes would benefit clinical decision making. In this study, we analyzed urine microRNAs from rats with military-relevant pure metals implanted in the gastrocnemius muscle for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Our results provide potential tissue targets affected by metal exposure and a list of unique or common urine microRNA biomarkers indicative of exposure to one or more metals, highlighting a complex systemic response.

Project description:Given that transition metals are essential cofactors in central biological processes, misallocation of the wrong metal ion to a metalloprotein can have resounding and often detrimental effects on diverse aspects of cellular physiology. Therefore, in an attempt to characterize unique and shared responses to chemically similar metals we have reconstructed physiological behaviors of Halobacterium NRC-1, an archaeal halophile, in sub-lethal levels of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). Over 20% of all genes responded transiently within minutes of exposure to Fe(II), perhaps reflecting immediate large scale physiological adjustments to maintain homeostasis. At steady state, each transition metal induced growth arrest, attempts to minimize oxidative stress, toxic ion scavenging, increased protein turnover and DNA repair, and modulation of active ion transport. While several of these constitute generalized stress responses, up regulation of active efflux of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), down regulation of Mn(II) uptake and up regulation of Fe(II) chelation, confer resistance to the respective metals. We have synthesized all these discoveries into a unified systems level model to provide an integrated perspective of responses to six transition metals with emphasis on experimentally verified regulatory mechanisms. Finally, through comparisons across global transcriptional responses to different metals we provide insights into putative in vivo metal selectivity of metalloregulatory proteins and demonstrate that a systems approach can help rapidly unravel novel metabolic potential and regulatory programs of poorly studied organisms.

Project description:Heavy metals are essential integral parts of cells and environmental toxicants, whose deregulation is associated with severe cellular dysfunction and various diseases. The Hippo pathway plays a critical role in organ size control and cancer development. In this study, we use RNA-Seq to investigate the role of the Hippo pathway in regulating heavy metal response gene transcription. Specifically, the difference of transcriptional profiles between the wild-type and the Hippo pathway kinases LATS1/2-deficient HEK293A cells was examined under control- and heavy metals zinc and cadimuim treated-conditions.

Project description:Globally, multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common problem. As heavy metals have the potential to disrupt microbially-mediated biogeochemical cycling, it is critical to understand their impact on microbial physiology. However, systems-level studies on the effects of a combination of heavy metals on bacteria are lacking. Here, we use a native Bacillus cereus isolate from the subsurface of the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR; Oak Ridge, TN, USA) subsurface— representing a highly abundant species at the site— to assess the combined impact of eight metal contaminants. Using this metal mixture and individual metals, all at concentrations based on the ORR site geochemistry, we performed growth experiments and proteomic analyses of the B. cereus strain, in combination with targeted MS-based metabolomics and gene expression profiling. We found that the combination of eight metals impacts cell physiology in a manner that could not have been predicted from summing phenotypic responses to the individual metals. Specifically, exposure to the metal mixture elicited global iron starvation responses not observed in any of the individual metal treatments. As nitrate is also a significant contaminant at the ORR site and nitrate and nitrite reductases are iron-containing enzymes, we also examined the effects of the metal mixture on reduction of nitrogen oxides. We found that the metal mixture inhibits the activity of these enzymes through a combination of direct enzymatic damage and post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation. Altogether, these data suggest that metal mixture studies are critical for understanding how multiple rather than individual metals influence microbial processes in the environment.
