Project description:Phytoplankton and bacteria form the base of marine ecosystems and their interactions drive global biogeochemical cycles. The effect of bacteria and bacteria-produced compounds on diatoms range from synergistic to pathogenic and can affect the physiology and transcriptional patterns of the interacting diatom. Here, we investigate physiological and transcriptional changes in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana induced by extracellular metabolites of a known antagonistic bacterium Croceibacter atlanticus. Mono-cultures of C. atlanticus released compounds that inhibited diatom cell division and elicited a distinctive phenotype of enlarged cells with multiple plastids and nuclei, similar to what was observed when the diatom was co-cultured with the live bacteria. The extracellular C. atlanticus metabolites induced transcriptional changes in diatom pathways that include recognition and signaling pathways, cell cycle regulation, carbohydrate and amino acid production, as well as cell wall stability. Phenotypic analysis showed a disruption in the diatom cell cycle progression and an increase in both intra- and extracellular carbohydrates in diatom cultures after bacterial exudate treatment. The transcriptional changes and corresponding phenotypes suggest that extracellular bacterial metabolites, produced independently of direct bacterial-diatom interaction, may modulate diatom metabolism in ways that support bacterial growth.

Project description:We isolate the cultivable microbiome of a diatom and show that different bacteria have commensal, antagonistic, or synergistic effects on the diatom. One synergistic bacterium enhances growth of the diatom by production of auxin, a phytohormone. The diatom and its synergistic bacterium appear to use auxin and tryptophan as signaling molecules that drive nutrient exchange. Detection of auxin molecules and biosynthesis gene transcripts in the Pacific Ocean suggests that these interactions are widespread in marine ecosystems.

Project description:Ovarian follicle development is a complex and well orchestrated biological process. Chromatin spatial organization has emerged as an important regulator of gene expression, but how these changes during follicle development are still unknown. Here, we integrated RNA-seq analyses of chicken follicular granulosa cells of 10 developmental stages. Our data revealed that SWF, F1, and POF had the greatest transcriptome differences from other stages. Our results provide a genome-wide atlas of chromatin interactions during chicken ovarian follicle development.

Project description:The diatom cell wall, or frustule, is a highly complex, three-dimensional structure consisting of nanopatterned silica as well as proteins and other organic components. While some key components have been identified, knowledge on frustule biosynthesis is still fragmented. The model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana was subjected to silicon (Si) shift-up and shift-down situations. Cellular and molecular signatures, dynamic changes and co-regulated clusters representing the hallmarks of cellular and molecular responses to changing Si availabilities were characterised. 62 silaffin-like proteins (SFLPs), two kinases and a novel family of putatively frustule-associated transmembrane proteins induced by Si shift-up and a possible role in frustule biosynthesis were identified. A separate cluster analysis performed on all significantly regulated SFLPs, as well as fourteen new proteins with silaffin-like motifs, resulted in the classification of silaffins, cingulins and SFLPs into distinct clusters. The genes in the Si-responsive clusters are in general highly divergent, but positive selection does not seem to be the driver behind this variability. This study provides a high-resolution map over transcriptional responses to changes in Si availability in T. pseudonana. Hallmark Si-responsive genes are identified, characteristic motifs and domains are classified, and taxonomic and evolutionary implications outlined and discussed.

Project description:Sea-ice algae provide an important source of primary production in polar regions, yet we have limited understanding of their responses to the seasonal cycling of temperature and salinity. Using a targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approach, we found that axenic cultures of the Antarctic sea-ice diatom, Nitzschia lecointei, displayed large differences in their metabolomes when grown in a matrix of conditions that included temperatures of –1 and 4°C, and salinities of 32 and 41, despite relatively small changes in growth rate. Temperature exerted a greater effect than salinity on cellular metabolite pool sizes, though the N- or S-containing compatible solutes, 2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate (DHPS), glycine betaine (GBT), dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and proline responded strongly to both temperature and salinity, suggesting complexity in their control. We saw the largest (> 4 fold) response to salinity for proline. DHPS, a rarely studied but potential compatible solute, reached the highest intracellular compatible solute concentrations of ~ 85 mM. When comparing the culture findings to natural Arctic sea-ice diatom communities, we found extensive overlap in metabolite profiles, highlighting the relevance of culture-based studies to probe environmental questions. Large changes in sea-ice diatom metabolomes and compatible solutes over a seasonal cycle could be significant components of biogeochemical cycling within sea ice.

Project description:An important goal in disease genetics and evolutionary biology is to understand how mutations combine together to alter phenotypes and fitness. Non-additive genetic (epistatic) interactions between mutations occur extensively within and between genes, which makes accurate genetic prediction a difficult challenge. Moreover, for unclear reasons, the interactions between mutations change quite extensively across conditions, cell types, and species, with important consequences for both evolution and precision medicine such as the exploitation of synthetic lethality in cancer. To better understand the plasticity of genetic interactions, we reduced the problem to a minimal system where we combined mutations within a single protein performing a single cellular function. The only perturbation to the system was a change in the expression level of the mutated gene itself. Even in this minimal system, the interactions between mutations were highly plastic, with interactions changing in both magnitude and sign when the expression level was altered. Mathematical modelling revealed the cause of this as the non-linear relationship between the concentration of the protein and the cellular phenotype.These non-linearities are widespread in biology and transform expression level-independent effects of mutations on protein folding and stability into mutation outcomes and interactions that shift and switch as gene expression changes. This plasticity of mutation effects and genetic interactions has important implications for human disease and evolutionary theory.

Project description:The dynamic nature of genome organization impacts critical nuclear functions including the regulation of gene expression, replication and DNA damage repair. Despite significant progress, the mechanisms responsible for reorganization of the genome in response to cellular stress, such as aberrant DNA replication, are poorly understood. Here we show that fission yeast cells carrying a mutation in the DNA-binding protein Sap1 show defects in DNA replication progression and genome stability, and display extensive changes in genome organization. Chromosomal regions such as subtelomeres that show defects in replication progression associate with the nuclear envelope in sap1 mutant cells. Moreover, high-resolution Hi-C analysis revealed prominent new interactions between telomeres and chromosomal arm regions containing replication origins proximal to binding sites for Taz1, a component of the Shelterin telomere protection complex. Strikingly, we find that Shelterin components promote interactions between Taz1-associated chromosomal arm regions and telomeres. These analyses reveal an unexpected role for Shelterin in genome reorganization in cells experiencing replication stress, which has important implications for understanding mechanisms governing replication and genome stability.
