Project description:Gene disruption of KTR9_0186 resulted in a 2-fold increase in TAG content in nitrogen starved cells. Lipase mutants subjected to carbon starvation, following nitrogen starvation, retained 75% more TAGs and retained pigmentation. Transcriptome expression data confirmed the deletion of KTR9_0186 and identified the up-regulation of key genes involved in fatty acid degradation, a likely compensatory mechanism for reduced TAG mobilization. The Gordonia sp. KTR9 strain used in this study has been previously described (PMID 16332812) A 12 x 135K array study using total RNA recovered from triplicate cultures of KTR9 under carbon starvation and triplicate cultures of KTR9 0186 Mutant under carbon starvation.

Project description:Plants and microalgae have the ability to harness sunlight into energy dense molecules such as triacylglycerols (TAGs). TAGs hold great importance for human and animal nutrition, and are also a source for renewable energy. Acyl-CoA-dependent TAG synthesis by diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) in oilseeds has been well characterized, but how the ectopic introduction of TAG synthesis in vegetative tissues of plants affects metabolism is largely unknown. Here we report the identification and characterization of several Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase Type Two (DGTT) enzymes and their use in engineering TAG biosynthesis in plant vegetative tissues. Focusing on DGTT2 we demonstrate that it can accept a broad range of substrates. Production of DGTT2 in Arabidopsis results in distinct seedling phenotypes and accumulation of TAG with very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), in both seedlings (23.4-fold increase) and in the leaves of soil-grown plants (13.3-fold increase). Levels of surface lipids, such as waxes and cutins, are decreased in DGTT2-producing lines, consistent with a decreased carbon/acyl flux to the surface lipid pathway. Global transcript analysis showed that very few genes had altered expression. Little to no change in the transcripts of wax/cutin pathway genes was observed in response to altered carbon partitioning into TAGs in the leaves suggesting that the supply of acyl groups for surface lipid biosynthesis is not transcriptionally adjusted in the transgenic lines. As an indication that the DGTT2-producing plants are richer in feed value, the generalist herbivore Spodoptera exigua reared on the transgenic plants gained more weight. Apparently, the substrate specificity of DGTT2 from Chlamydomonas when produced in the Arabidopsis cells leads to diversion of carbon from surface compounds in TAGs and enhances the nutritional value of leaves. 4 biological replicates DGTT2 transgenic plants are compared to 4 biological replicates of wild type

Project description:Oil-bodies are sites of energy storage in many organisms including microalgae. As a first step toward understanding oil accumulation in algae, we took a proteomic approach on purified oil-body fraction from the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii grown under nitrogen deprivation. Among the 240 proteins (?2 peptides) identified by LC-MS/MS, 33 were putatively involved in metabolism of lipids (mostly acyl-lipids and sterols). Compared to a recently reported Chlamydomonas oil-body proteome, 19 additional proteins of lipid metabolism were identified, including a glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), a lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAT) and a putative phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT), spanning the key steps of the triacylglycerol synthesis pathway. In addition, proteins putatively involved in deacylation/reacylation, sterol synthesis, lipid signaling and lipid trafficking were found to be associated to the oil body fraction. This dataset thus provides evidence that in Chlamydomonas oil-bodies are not only storage compartments but also are dynamic structures likely to be involved in processes such as oil synthesis, degradation and lipid homeostasis. The proteins identified here should provide useful targets for genetic studies aiming at increasing our understanding of triacyglycerol synthesis and the role of oil-bodies in microalgal cell functions.

Project description:When macrophages are activated by sensing bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), they greatly increase their motility, mRNA synthesis and protein production. Most of the ATP needed for these responses is derived from the uptake and catabolism of glucose, a relatively inefficient ATP source. Although the stimulated cells also increase their uptake of free fatty acids, they store a large fraction as triglycerides (TAG). We report here that both Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2 agonists stimulate prolonged TAG retention by primary murine and human macrophages. Agonist-induced TAG storage lasted at least 72-96 hrs in vitro and was associated with increases in fatty acid (FA) uptake, FA esterification, and FA incorporation into TAG; FA oxidation decreased. The results of expression and inhibitor studies support a prominent role for increases in long chain acyl CoA synthase 1 (ACSL1) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 (DGAT2) during the sustained response to TLR2/4 activation; decreases in adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL, Pnpla2) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MgII) may also contribute. Stimulated murine macrophages that retained TAG carried out phagocytosis more effectively and were protected from saturated fatty acid-induced cell death (lipotoxicity). TLR agonist-induced TAG retention in macrophages is thus an active, sustained process that may have important adaptive functions. It may also contribute to the persistence of lipid-laden macrophages in infected tissues, host susceptibility to some microbial pathogens, and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. RNA from macrophage loaded with Fatty Acids, stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), or both compared to untreated controls (FA, LPS, FA+LPS, untreated). Replicates from 4 independent experiments.
