Inositol polyphosphates regulate resilient mechanisms in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to adapt to extreme nutrient conditions
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the actual context of climate changing environments, photosynthetic organisms need to adapt to more extreme conditions. Microalgae can be excellent organisms to understand molecular mechanisms that activate survival mechanisms under stress. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii signaling mutants are extremely useful to decipher which strategies they use to cope with changeable environments. In this study, we conducted prolonged starvation in wild type and vip1-1 Chlamydomonas cells. The mutant vip1-1 has an altered profile of pyroinositol polyphosphates (PP-InsPs) which are signaling molecules present in all eukaryotes. These molecules have been connected to P signaling in other organisms including plants but their implications in other nutrient signaling is still under evaluation. After prolonged starvation, WT and vip1-1 showed important differences in the levels of chlorophyll and PSII activity. We also performed a metabolomic analysis under these conditions and found an overall decrease in different organic compounds such as amino acids including arginine and its precursors and tryptophan which is considered as a signaling molecule itself in plants. In addition, we observed significant differences in RNA levels of genes related to nitrogen assimilation that are under the control of NIT2 transcription factor. Overall our data indicate an important role of PP-InsPs in the regulation of nutrient starvation especially regarding N assimilation and C distribution. These data are of great importance for the generation of resilient strains to be used in open ponds and high capacity bioreactors.

Project description:Plants coexist in close proximity with numerous microorganisms in their rhizosphere. With certain microorganisms, plants establish mutualistic relationships that can confer physiological benefits to the interacting organisms, including enhanced nutrient assimilation or increased stress tolerance. The root-colonizing endophytic fungi Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium minioluteum, and Serendipita indica have been reported to enhance the drought stress tolerance of plants. However, to date, the molecular mechanisms triggered by these fungi in plants remain unexplored. This study presents a comparative analysis of the effects on mock- and fungus-infected tomato plants (var. Moneymaker) under drought stress conditions (40% field capacity) and control conditions (100% field capacity). The findings provide evidence for the induction of common response modules by the fungi.

Project description:Abiotic stress causes disturbances in the cellular homeostasis. Re-adjustment of balance in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism therefore plays a central role in stress adaptation. However, it is currently unknown which parts of the primary cell metabolism follow common patterns under different stress conditions and which represent specific responses. To address these questions, changes in transcriptome, metabolome and ionome were analyzed in maize source leaves from plants suffering low temperature, low nitrogen (N) and low phosphorus (P) stress. The selection of maize as study object provided data directly from an important crop species and the so far underexplored C4 metabolism. Growth retardation was comparable under all tested stress conditions. The only primary metabolic pathway responding similar to all stresses was nitrate assimilation, which was down-regulated. The largest group of commonly regulated transcripts followed the expression pattern: down under low temperature and low N, but up under low P. Several members of this transcript cluster could be connected to P metabolism and correlated negatively to different phosphate concentration in the leaf tissue. Accumulation of starch under low temperature and low N stress, but decrease in starch levels under low under low P conditions indicated that only low P treated leaves suffered carbon starvation. In conclusion, maize employs very different strategies for management of nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism under stress. While nitrate assimilation was regulated depending on demand by growth processes, phosphate concentrations changed depending on availability, thus building up reserves under excess conditions. Carbon and energy metabolism of the C4 maize leaves were particularly sensitive to P starvation. Responses of maize source leaves to low temperature, low nitrogen and low phosphorus conditions were tested in independent single-stress experiments. Seedlings were cultivated in pots containing nutrient-poor peat soil under the controlled conditions of a growth chamber. The plants were fertilized with modified Hoagland solutions, containing 15mM KNO3 and 0.5mM KH2PO4 for control conditions; for low N and low P treatment, the nutrient concentrations were reduced to 0.15mM KNO3 and 0.1mM KH2PO4, respectively. Low temperature treated plants were always supplied with control nutrient solution. Plants from the nitrogen and phosphorus experiment as well as the control temperature plants were exposed to 28°C during the day and 20°C during the night. Low temperature treatment was limited to the night period and was reduced to 4°C for the 10h dark period. Source leaf lamina were harvested at day 20 (low temperature experiment) or day 30 after start of germination (low nitrogen and low phosphorus experiment) for parallel analysis of transcriptome, metabolome and ion profiles. The molecular data is further supplemented by phenotypic characterization of the maize seedlings under investigation.

Project description:Signaling trough cytoplasmic or nuclear action of p53 is a major response mechanism to cellular stresses. While p53 protein levels have been shown to increase upon nutrient stresses such as starvation, the exact signaling cascade in this context remains elusive. Here, we show in a human hepatoma cell line that nutrient withdrawal leads to robust nuclear p53 stabilization and utilize various complementary omics approaches to dissect upstream and downstream networks in the response to starvation. Using the affinity purification mass spectrometry (MS) method BioID, we determine the cytoplasmic p53 interaction network within the immediate-early starvation response and show that p53 is dissociated from several metabolic enzymes and the kinase PAK2. Direct binding of p53 DNA-binding domain and N-terminal PAK2 was confirmed with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) interaction studies. Furthermore, rapid immunoprecipitation MS of endogenous proteins (RIME) uncovered the nuclear interactome under prolonged starvation, where we confirmed the novel p53 interactors SORBS1, involved in insulin signaling, and UGP2, a key enzyme of glycogen synthesis. Finally, transcriptomics after p53 re-expression on a CRISPR/Cas9 knock out background revealed a distinct starvation-specific transcriptome response and suggested novel nutrient-dependent p53 target genes. Together, our complementary approaches delineate several nodes of the p53 signaling cascade in response to starvation, shedding new light on the mechanisms of p53 as a nutrient stress sensor and regulator of specific transcriptional output. Given the central role of p53 in cancer biology and the beneficial effects of fasting in cancer treatment, the identified interaction partners and networks could pinpoint novel pharmacologic targets to fine-tune p53 activity.

Project description:The metabolic response of maize source leaves to low nitrogen supply was analyzed in maize seedlings by parallel measurements of transcriptome and metabolome profiling. Inbred lines A188 and B73 were cultivated under controlled growth chamber conditions and supplied with either sufficient (15mM) or limiting (0.15mM) nitrate supply. Leaf lamina material was harvested at day 20 and day 30 after germination with the fifth and sixth leaf representing the main source leaf respectively. Four replicates were collecetd from individual plants for each combination of genotype, growth stage and nitrogen treatment. The leaf material was frozen, homogenised and aliquoted for transcriptome and metabolome analysis. The molecular data was further supplemented by phenotypic characterisation of the maize seedlings under investigation. Limited availability of nitrogen caused strong shifts in the metabolite profile of leaves. The transcriptome was less affected by the nitrogen stress but showed strong genotype and age dependent patterns. Nitrogen starvation initiated the selective down-regulation of processes involved in nitrate reduction and amino acid assimilation; ammonium assimilation related transcripts on the other hand were not influenced. Carbon assimilation related transcripts were characterized by high transcriptional coordination and general down-regulation under low nitrogen conditions. Nitrogen deprivation caused a slight accumulation of starch, but also directed increased amounts of carbohydrates into the cell wall and secondary metabolites. The decrease in N availability also resulted in accumulation of phosphate and by strong down-regulation of genes usually involved in phosphate starvation response, underlining the great importance of phosphate homeostasis control under stress conditions. Maize inbred lines A188 and B73 were cultivated in pots containing nutrient poor peat soil under the controlled conditions of a growth chamber. The plants were fertilized with modified Hoagland solutions containing either 15mM (high N) or 0.15mM nitrate (low N). Source leaf lamina were harvested at day 20 and day 30 after start of germination for parallel analysis of transcriptome and metabolome profiles. The molecular data is further supplemented by phenotypic characterization of the maize seedlings under investigation.

Project description:Mutations in over one hundred genes, belonging to diverse classes of epigenetic regulators, resulted in significant fitness advantage under nutrient starvation and acidic conditions, suggesting that disruption of epigenetic control, at multiple levels of the regulatory network, promotes broad resistance of cells to stressful environments. To uncover the molecular mechanisms of such phenomenon, and to understand how loss of epigenetic regulators gives advantage during stress, we plan to examine how the chromatin landscape changes in nutrient-deprived conditions.

Project description:Many plants associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for nutrient acquisition, while legumes also associate with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria. Both associations rely on symbiosis signaling and here we show that cereals can perceive lipochitooligosaccharides (LCOs) for activation of symbiosis signaling, surprisingly including Nod factors produced by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. However, legumes show stringent perception of specifically decorated LCOs, that is absent in cereals. LCO perception in plants is activated by nutrient starvation, through transcriptional regulation of Nodulation Signaling Pathway (NSP)1 and NSP2. These transcription factors induce expression of an LCO receptor and act through the control of strigolactone biosynthesis and the karrikin-like receptor DWARF14-LIKE. We conclude that LCO production and perception is coordinately regulated by nutrient starvation to promote engagement with mycorrhizal fungi. Our work has implications for the use of both mycorrhizal and rhizobial associations for sustainable productivity in cereals.

Project description:The objective was to identify functional genes encoded by Fungi and fungal-like organisms to assess putative ecological roles Using the GeoChip microarray, we detected fungal genes involved in the complete assimilation of nitrate and the degradation of lignin, as well as evidence for Partitiviridae (a mycovirus) that likely regulates fungal populations in the marine environment. These results demonstrate the potential for fungi to degrade terrigenously-sourced molecules, such as permafrost and compete with algae for nitrate during blooms. Ultimately, these data suggest that marine fungi could be as important in oceanic ecosystems as they are in freshwater environments.

Project description:Background: Weedy rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a worldwide problem in rice production, being highly tolerant to sub-optimal nutrient levels hence competitive in nutrient acquisition. To understand the function of genes that are potentially involved in the high nutrient acquisition ability of weedy rice, we compared the transcriptomes of strawhull weedy red rice (tolerant to N deficit) with the rice cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XWellsM-bM-^@M-^Y (intolerant to N deficit), by examining profiles in flag leaves at panicle initiation under low and optimum N levels. Strawhull weedy red rice and cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XWellsM-bM-^@M-^Y were grown in nutrient solution with NH4NO3 concentration manipulated to simulate optimum and deficient N conditions. Changes in gene expression in leaf tissues were analyzed at three conditions: N deficiency, and at 24- and 48-h NH4NO3 supplementation after N starvation. Differential gene expression on weedy red rice was evaluated using oligonucleotide arrays representing 44,974 rice gene models. Overall, comparative real-time PCR analysis of 21 candidate genes identified from the microarray data between weedy red rice and cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XWellsM-bM-^@M-^Y supported our hypothesis that key genes involved in N assimilation are expressed differentially at N- deficient conditions between the tolerant and intolerant strains. Results: Eight candidate genes showed significant differences in expression at one of the time points: N and starch metabolism-related [alanine aminotransferase (OsAlaAT) locus ID Os10g25140.1; soluble starch synthase 2-1(OsSSSII1), Os10g30156.1; and soluble starch synthase 2-3(OsSSSII3), Os06g12450.1]; cell structure-related [alpha-L-fucosidase 2 precursor (OsFUCA2), Os06g06250.1]; signal transduction [two-component response regulator-like(OsPRR1), Os02g40510.1 and EF hand family protein (OsPOLC2_JUNOX), Os02g50060.1]; and transcription factors [zinc finger, C2H2 type family protein(OsC2H2Znf), Os11g06840.1 and Myb-like DNA-binding domain (OsMYB), Os01g62660.1]. Genome-wide gene expression analysis of weedy rice showed that nitrite reductase (Os01g25484.1; Os01g25484.2; Os01g25484.3) was most highly induced at N starvation and was most deeply repressed at 24 h of N-stress recovery. A few other genes, namely SANT/MYB (Os01g47370.1), chaperonin (Os02g54060.1; Os02g54060.2), protein phosphatase (Os09g15670.1), polyamine transporter (Os01g61044.1), trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (Os02g54820.2), uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (Os05g38170.1), an MIKCc type-box transcription factor (Os02g52340.1), a cell homeostasis-related uncharacterized protein (Os02g16880.1), a protease inhibitor (Os07g18990.1), dehydrin (Os11g26760.1), and cytochrome P450 (Os11g05380.1) were also strong indicators of starvation and recovery. Conclusions: Weedy rice has N-stress adaptive mechanisms that are probably distinct to the mechanisms in most cultivars. This mechanism potentially contributes to its high vigor and competitive advantage over most rice cultivars under sub-optimal nutrient levels. Expression of key genes involved in nitrate assimilation, trehalose synthesis, and protein modification appeared to be critical for adaptation to N stress in weedy rice. N-stress tolerance of weedy red rice appeared to be due at least in part to the ability to sustain C fixation and starch synthesis during N starvation. Plants were subjected to four treatments: T1 M-bM-^@M-^S Full N; T2 M-bM-^@M-^S NH4NO3starvation until NSI <95%; T3 - 24-h NH4NO3 readdition post-starvation; and T4 M-bM-^@M-^S 48-h NH4NO3 readdition post-starvation. The 24- and 48-h time points for NH4NO3 supplementation were selected to assess both the early and late molecular responses. There were four replications, with three plants per replication per N treatment.

Project description:Rice blast is the most threatening disease to cultivated rice worldwide. Magnaporthe oryzae, its causal agent is likely to encounter environmental challenges during invasive growth in the host plants that require shifts in gene expression to establish a compatible interaction. Here, we tested the hypothesis that M. oryzae have similar gene expression patterns in planta, versus during in vitro stresses. Gene expression data was collected from in vitro experiments of heat shock, oxidative burst, and three different types of nutrient starvation. These data were compared to fungal gene expression during the invasive growth phase in compatible interactions on two grass hosts, rice and barley. We have identified 4,973 differentially expressed genes, from which 1,909 genes showed similar regulation patterns between at least one of the in vitro stresses and rice and/or barley. Hierarchical clustering of these 1,909 genes showed three major clusters in which growth in planta conditions closely grouped with the starving nutrient conditions. Out of these 1,909 genes, 55 and 129 genes were induced and repressed in all seven treatments, respectively. The functional categorization of those 55 induced genes revealed that most of them are either related to carbon metabolism, membrane proteins, or are involved in oxidoreduction reactions. The 129 repressed genes are putatively involved in vesicle trafficking, signal transduction, nitrogen metabolism, or molecular transport. These findings indicated that M. oryzae is likely coping with nutrient deprived environments in its hosts during the invasive growth stage about 72 hours post-inoculation, and not as much with host defense responses, or a temperature stress. Eight M. oryzae treatments: mycelia grown in liquid complete medium (set as the control); 72 hours post-incoulation (hpi) in rice leaves; 72 hours post-incoulation in barley leaves; mycelia under heat shock; mycelia under oxidative stress; mycelia under minimal medium; mycelia under nitrogen starvation; mycelia under carbon starvation. Three biological replicates had their total RNA pulled after RNA extraction. Dye-swaps used as technical replicates.
