Project description:Arsenic is an ubiquitous contaminant and a toxic metalloid which presents two main redox states in nature: arsenite [AsIII] and arsenate [AsV]. Arsenic resistance in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is mediated by the arsBHC operon and two additional arsenate reductases encoded by the arsI1 and arsI2 genes. Here we describe the genome-wide responses in response to the presence of arsenate and arsenite in wild type and in mutants in the arsenic resistance system. Both forms of arsenic produced similar responses in the wild type strain including induction of several stress related genes and repression of energy generation processes. The responses observed in the arsB mutant strain were similar to the wild type in short term but were maintained in time while they were only transient in the wild type strain. In contrast, the responses observed in a strain lacking all arsenate reductases (the SARS12 strain) were somewhat different and included lower induction of genes involved in metal homeostasis and Fe-S cluster biogenesis. These results suggest that these two processes are targeted by arsenite in the wild type strain. Finally, analysis of the arsR mutant strain revealed that ArsR seems to only control 5 genes in the genome. Furthermore, over-expression of ArsB conferred hypersentivity to nickel, copper and cadmium in an arsR mutant strain. Analysis of genome-wide gene expression patterns in response to arsenic in WT and mutants involved in arsenic detoxification in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803. Cells treated with arsenate or arsenite for 1h. Details: WT cells were treated with 1 mM arsenite for 1 h and its expression profile compared to untreated cells (grown in BG11C media). The effects of arsenate were analyzed in the same way but using a modified BG11C media that constains 15% of the normal phosphate concentration (BG11C low phosphate). A reduction in the phosphate concentration in the media is essential to detect grow inhibition after arsenate addition. In the same way that for arsenite cells were treated with 50 mM arsenate for 1 h and their expression profile was compared to untreated cells. Expression profiles of mutant strains lacking arsB gene (SARSB strain; this strain is hypersensitive to arsenite because it lacks the arsenite exporter) or arsR gene (SARSR strain; this strain expresses the arsBHC constitutively) in control conditions and in response to arsenite addition were also analyzed. In addition the expression profiles of a mutant lacking arsenate reductases (SARS12 strain that has interrupted arsC, arsI1 and arsI2 genes; this strain is hypersensitive to arsenate) were analyzed in both control conditions and after addition of 50 mM arsenate.

Project description:ABSTRACT: Inorganic arsenic is a carcinogen and its ingestion in foods such as rice presents a significant risk to human health. Plants chemically reduce arsenate to arsenite. Using genome-wide association (GWA) mapping of loci controlling natural variation in arsenic accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana allowed us to identify the arsenate reductase required for this reduction, which we named High Arsenic Content1 (HAC1). Complementation verified the identity of HAC1, and expression in Escherichia coli lacking a functional arsenate reductase confirmed the arsenate reductase activity of HAC1. The HAC1 protein accumulates in the epidermis, the outer cell layer of the root, and also in the pericycle cells surrounding the central vascular tissue. Plants lacking HAC1 lose their ability to efflux arsenite from roots, leading to both increased transport of arsenic into the central vascular tissue and on into the shoot. HAC1 therefore functions to reduce arsenate to arsenite in the outer cell layer of the root, facilitating efflux of arsenic as arsenite back into the soil to limit its accumulation in the root and transport to the shoot. Arsenate reduction by HAC1 in the pericycle may play a role in limiting arsenic loading into the xylem. Loss of HAC1 encoded arsenic reduction leads to a significant increase in arsenic accumulation in shoots causing an increased sensitivity to arsenate toxicity. We also confirmed the previous observation that the ACR2 arsenate reductase in A. thaliana plays no detectable role in arsenic metabolism. Further, ACR2 does not interact epistatically with HAC1, since arsenic metabolism in the acr2 hac1 double mutant is disrupted in an identical manner to that described for the hac1 single mutant. Our identification of HAC1 and its associated natural variation provides an important new resource for the development of low arsenic containing food stuffs such as rice. Hybridizations from a set of Bulk Segregant analysis. We measured the elemental profile of 315 F2 plants from a cross between the high arsenic Arabidopsis thaliana accession Kr-0 and the the low arsenic accession Col-0, data available at www.ionomicshub.org <http://www.ionomicshub.org>. Leaves from the 59 highest and 61 lowest arsenic accumulating plants (calculated as a percentage of the Col-0 accumulation in the same growth tray) were pooled and the genomic DNA was extracted using Qiagen kits.

Project description:We studied the application of transcriptome technology in alfalfa selenium treatment. After spraying sodium selenite on the leaves, the process of selenium absorption and assimilation of alfalfa is unknown. The time point of transcriptome determination was determined by measuring the change of selenium content. Our results showed that 12 h was the key point of the change of selenium content in alfalfa, that is, the selenium content increased continuously before 12 h, decreased gradually after 12 h, and remained stable after 48 h. Transcriptome sequencing showed that phosphorus transporter and endocytosis related genes may be involved in selenium absorption at 12 h compared with 0 H. 12-48 h, some thiometabolic pathways may be involved in selenium metabolism and ubiquitination pathway, which may be the detoxification pathway of selenoprotein.

Project description:Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is the guardian of ferroptosis and prevents unrestrained (phospho)lipid peroxidation by directly reducing phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH) to their corresponding alcohols. However, it remains unclear whether other phospholipid peroxidases can also contribute to ferroptosis prevention, albeit to a varying degree. Here we show that cells lacking GPX4 still exhibit substantial PLOOH reduction capacity, arguing for the presence of alternative PLOOH peroxidases. Mechanistically, we uncover that PRDX6 facilitates intracellular selenium handling, which is crucial for selenium incorporation into selenoproteins, including GPX4.

Project description:The synthesis mechanisms and function evaluation of selenium(Se)-enriched microorganism remain relatively unexplored. We here report the Se biotransformation by A. oryzae A02. Comparative RNA-Seq analysis revealed the upregulation of functional genes implicated in selenium transformation, activating multiple potential pathways for selenium reduction. The assimilatory and dissimilatory reductions of Se oxyanions engaged numerous parallel and interconnected pathways, manifesting a harmonious equilibrium in overall Se biotransformation in A. oryzae A02.

Project description:Methanococcus maripaludis utilizes selenocysteine-(Sec-) containing proteins (selenoproteins), mostly active in the organism’s primary energy metabolism, methanogenesis. Under selenium depletion, M. maripaludis employs a set of enzymes containing cysteine (Cys) instead of Sec. The genes coding for these Sec-/Cys-containing isoforms are the only genes known expression of which is influenced by the selenium status of the cell. Using quantitative proteomics and transcriptomics approx. 7% and 12%, respectively, of all genes/proteins were differentially expressed/synthesized in response to the selenium supply. Some of the genes identified involve methanogenesis, nitrogenase functions, and putative transporters. An increase of transcript abundance for putative transporters under selenium-depleted conditions indicated the organism’s effort to tap into alternative sources of selenium. Selenium sources M. maripaludis is known to utilize are selenite and dimethylselenide. To expand this list, a selenium responsive reporter strain was assessed with nine other, environmentally relevant selenium species. While some had a similar biological window as selenite, others were effectively utilized at lower concentrations. Conversely, selenate and seleno-amino acids were only utilized at unphysiologically high concentrations and two compounds were not utilized at all. To address the role of the selenium-regulated putative transporters in selenium transport, M. maripaludis mutant strains lacking one or two of the putative transporters were tested for the capability to utilize the different selenium species. Of the five putative transporters analyzed by loss-of-function mutagenesis, none appeared to be absolutely required for utilizing any of the selenium species tested, indicating they have redundant and/or overlapping specificities, or are not dedicated selenium transporters.
