Project description:To examine the role of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl protease, CgYps1, in the regulation of pH homeostasis in Candida glabrata, transcriptional profiling analysis was carried out on wild-type and Cgyps1∆ cells grown in YNB medium (pH 5.5) and in YNB medium adjusted to pH 2.0. Genes involved in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, protein folding and stress response pathways were found to be differentially regulated in response to acidic environment in both the strains.

Project description:We preformed at time-course of the expression of whole Arabidopsis roots for 30 minutes, 1H, 3H, 6H 12H, 24H, and 48H after transfer to low pH (pH 4.6). Controls at the standard pH (pH 5.7) were included at each time-point. We combined these data with 13 other datasests and performed a meta-analysis to ask whether a universal stress response exists in Arabidopsis roots. Stress responses in plants are tightly coordinated with developmental processes, but the interaction between these pathways is poorly understood. Here we use genome-wide assays at high spatial and temporal resolution to understand the processes that lnk development and stress in the Arabidopsis root. Our meta-analysis finds little evidence for a universal stress response. Common stress responses appear to exists and, analagous to animal systems, many of them show cell-type specificity, suggesting a convergent evolutionary theme in multicellular organisms. Common stress responses may be mediated by cell identity regulators, as mutations in these genes resulted in altered responses to stress. Our results reveal surprising linkages between stress and development at cellular resolution, and show the power of multiple genome-wide datasets to elucidate biological processes.
Project description:Human MondoA requires glucose as well as other modulatory signals to function in transcription. One such signal is acidosis, which increases MondoA activity and also drives a protective gene signature breast cancer. How low pH controls MondoA transcriptional activity is unknown. We found that low pH medium increases mitochondrial ATP (mtATP), which is subsequently exported from the mitochondrial matrix. Mitochondria-bound hexokinase transfers a phosphate from mtATP to cytoplasmic glucose to generate glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), which is an established MondoA activator. The outer mitochondrial membrane localization of MondoA suggests that it is positioned to coordinate the adaptive transcriptional response to a cell’s most abundant energy sources, cytoplasmic glucose and mtATP. In response to acidosis, MondoA shows preferential binding to just two targets, TXNIP and its paralog ARRDC4. Because these transcriptional targets are suppressors of glucose uptake we propose that MondoA is critical for restoring metabolic homeostasis in response to high energy charge.

Project description:Aluminum (Al) is the most common metal in the Earth’s crust and Al toxicity is considered to be the most harmful abiotic stress in acidic soils that today comprise more than 50% of the world’s arable lands. The first symptom of Al toxicity is the reduction of root growth, resulting in decreased water and nutrients uptake, plant growth retardation, and finally, yield reduction. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), which is the fourth cereal crop in regards to cultivation area and production tonnage, belongs to crops most sensitive to toxic aluminum ions in low pH soils. We present the RNA-seq transcriptome analysis of root meristems of barley seedlings grown in hydroponics at optimal pH (6.0), low pH (4.0), and low pH with Al (10 µM of bioavailable Al3+ ions). Two independent experiments were conducted: with short-term (24 h) and long-term (7 days) Al treatment. Interestingly, in the short-term experiment, more genes were differentially expressed between root meristems grown at pH=6.0 and pH=4.0, than between those grown at pH=4.0 with and without Al treatment. The upregulated genes that were overrepresented at conditions of low pH, compared to optimal pH, were associated with response to oxidative stress, cell wall organization, and iron ion binding. Among genes downregulated by low pH were mainly those related to chromatin organization. These results show that low pH itself is a severe stress for barley plants. Among genes upregulated by short Al treatment, overrepresented were those related to response to stress condition and calcium ion binding. After 7 days of hydroponics, the number of DEGs between hydroponics at pH=4.0 and 6.0 were still high but lower than in the short-term experiment, which suggests that plants partially adapted to the low pH. Interestingly, 7 day Al treatment caused massive changes in the transcriptome profile compared to the condition of low pH alone. Over 4 000 genes were upregulated and almost 2 000 genes were downregulated by long-term Al stress. These DEGs were related to e.g. stress response, cell wall development and metal ion transport. Based on our results we can assume that both, Al3+ ions and low pH are harmful to barley plants.Additionally, we phenotyped in detail the root system of barley seedlings grown in the same hydroponic conditions for 7 days at pH=6.0, pH=4.0, and pH=4.0 with Al. The results correspond to transcriptomic data and show that low pH itself is a stress facor that causes a significant reduction of root growth and the addition of aluminum further increases this reduction. It should be underlined that in the acidic arable lands, plants are exposed simultaneously to both of these stresses (low pH and Al), as Al becomes soluble at pH below 5.5. The presented transcriptome analysis may help to find potential targets for breeding barley plants more tolerant to such conditions.
