Carbon source-induced reprogramming of the cell wall proteome and secretome modulates the adherence and drug resistance of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans

ABSTRACT: 2.3 Cell wall and secretome preparation. C. albicans RM1000 cells grown to mid-exponential phase were harvested by centrifugation. The resulting supernatant was sterile-filtered and then concentrated on 10-kDcut-off filters (Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal filter units, Millipore) as described previously [31]. To analyse the wall proteome, cell walls were isolated by hot SDS-extraction. The cell pellet obtained was used to prepare cell walls as described previously [36]. Briefly, the finely ground cell pellet was washed several times with PBS, and then subjected to breakage in a FastPrep bead beater (Savant Instruments Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA) with glass beads (0.25-0.50 mm, 12-16 runs for 45 sec at speed 6) in the presence of a protease inhibitor cocktail. Full breakage was controlled by light-microscopic inspection. The pellet was washed several times with 1 M NaCl and stored overnight at 4°C. The following day, the pellet was washed several times with MilliQ-water and then boiled four times for 10 min in SDS extraction buffer (150 mM NaCl, 2% (w/v) SDS, 100 mM Na-EDTA, 100 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8), washed with MilliQ-water and lyophilized overnight. The resulting purified wall pellets were either stored at -80°C or directly reduced and S-alkylated [37]. 2.4 Mass spectrometric analyses of cell wall proteomes and secretomes. Lyophilized cell walls were reduced with 10 mM dithiothreitol in 100 mM NH4HCO3 (1 h at 55C). After cooling to room temperature and centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded. The reduced proteins were alkylated with 65 mM iodoacetamide in 100 mM NH4HCO3 for 45 min at room temperature in the dark. The samples were quenched with 55 mM dithiothreitol in 100 mM NH4HCO3 for 5 min. Subsequently, the samples were washed six times with 50 mM NH4HCO3 and either frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C or digested using 2 µg Trypsin Gold (Promega, Madison,WI) from a 1 µg/µl stock solution for 18 h at 37°C. The concentrated secretome samples were treated similarly, with reduction and alkylation on 10-kD cut-off spin filters (Amicon, Billerica, MA) [32]. The resulting tryptic digests were desalted using a C18 tip column (Varian, Palo Alto, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After evaporation of acetonitrile with a Speedvac (Genevac, Ipswich, England) the peptide concentration was determined at 205 nm using a NanoDrop ND-1000 (Isogen Life science, IJsselstein, The Netherlands) [38]. Each sample was diluted with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid to a final concentration of 25 ng/µl, and 10 µl per run were injected onto an Ultimate 2000 nano-HPLC system (LC Packings, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) equipped with a PepMap100 C18 reversed phase column (75 µm inner diameter, 25 cm length; Dionex, Sunnyvale, CA). An elution flow rate of 0.3 µl/min was used along a linear gradient with increasing acetonitrile concentration over 45 min. The eluting peptides were directly ionized by electrospray in a Q-TOF (Micromass, Whyttenshawe, UK). Survey scans were acquired from m/z 350-1200. For low energy collision-induced dissociation (MS/MS), the most intense ions were selected in a data-dependent mode. 2.5 Data processing and analysis. After processing with the MaxEnt3 algorithm (MasslynxProteinlynx), the spectra were converted into pkl (peak list) files (available on PRIDE: www.ebi.ac.uk/pride: accession numbers 22716-22721) . Proteins were identified using MASCOT server 2.3.02 (Matrix Science, UK) and a database (6210 entries) consisting of a complete ORF translation of C. albicans and a list of regularly encountered contaminants. Enzyme was set to trypsin and allowing two miscleavages were allowed. Carbamidomethyl (C) was used as a fixed modification and Oxidation (M) as a variable modification. Mass tolerance and MS/MS tolerance were set to and a tolerance of 0.3 Da0.5 Da. Detected masses were charge deconvoluted to +1. Based on probabilistic MASCOT scoring a P value of < 0.05 was considered significant for peptide identification. At least three independently obtained biological samples were analysed for each condition and each was subjected to two MS/MS runs.

The major fungal pathogen Candida albicans can occupy diverse microenvironments in its human host. During colonization of the gastrointestinal or urogenital tracts, mucosal surfaces, bloodstream, and internal organs, C. albicans thrives in niches that differ with respect to available nutrients and local environmental stresses. Although most studies are performed on glucose-grown cells, changes in carbon source dramatically affect cell wall architecture, stress responses, and drug resistance. We ...[more]

Project description:Using cell sorting technique, we collected Arabidopsis root hair protoplasts (transgenic line harboring root hair specific gene promoter ::GFP, here named GFP) and nonGFP protoplasts( whole root except root hair). Then, we extracted total proteins and RNA for proteome and RNASeq. RNAseq data have already been deposited into NCBI (accession numbers SRR364677 and SRR364678). Total proteins were separated by 1D SDS-PAGE, followed by gel slicing, in gel digested and run ESI-LC-MS/MS on LTQ Orbitrap Velos. We set two biological repeats and each sample was scanned two times (two technique repeats). We then combined all ms/ms raw data from all fractions and technique repeats from one biological sample into one file to indentify proteins by searching Arabidopsis protein database with software Proteome Discoverer (with two searching engines mascot and sequester). Protocol: Protoplasts from EXP7 and non-GFP protoplastswere stored at -80°C, thawed on ice for 5 min, vortexed several times and suspended in 5 x volume of pre-cooled acetone (-20°C) containing 10% (v/v) trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and 0.07% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol. Proteins were then precipitated for 2 h at −20°C after thorough mixing. Proteins were collected by centrifuging at 35,000 g (JA-20 108 rotor, Beckman J2-HS) at 4°C for 30 min. The supernatant was removed and the protein pellets were washed three times with cold acetone containing 0.07% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol and 1 mMphenylmethanesulfonylfluoride. Protein pellets were dried by lyophilization and stored at -80°C, or immediately extracted using Laemmli buffer (63 mM TrisHCl pH 6.8, 10% glycerol, 2% SDS, 0.0025% bromophenol blue). Protein concentration was determined using Pierce protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford). Proteins from each sample were separated using a Bis-Tris precast gradient gel (4−16%, Bio-Rad) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After electrophoresis, the gel was Coomassie-stained using the Colloidal Blue Staining Kit (Invitrogen). The protocol used for in-gel trypsin digestion of proteins in gels was adapted from the method described in Shevchenko et al. (1996). Briefly, protein bands were manually excised and each band was cut into small pieces (~0.5 mm). The gel pieces were washed three times with a solution containing 50% methanol and 5% acetic acid for 2 h, twice with a solution containing 25 mM NH4HCO3 in 50% acetonitrile for 10 min each, and then the gel pieces were dried in a vacuum centrifuge. Reduction of proteins in gel pieces was performed with DTT and alkylation with iodoacetamide, and the gel pieces were washed and dried in a vacuum centrifuge. A trypsin solution in 25 mM NH4HCO3 containing 75 to 100 ng of sequencing grade modified trypsin (Promega) in 25-40 µl was added and incubated with gel pieces for 12-16 h at 37°C. To recover the tryptic peptides, a solution of 30 µl containing 5% formic acid and 50% acetonitril was added to the gel pieces, agitated in a vortex for 30-60 min and withdrawn into a new tube. The recovery was repeated once with 15 µl solution and the resulting two recovers were combined and dried in a vacuum centrifuge. The dried pellet was re-dissolved in 10-20 µl of 0.1% formic acid for LC-MS/MS analysis.

Project description:Synechocystis 6803 cells was grown photoautotrophically at 32 °C buffered in BG-11 and bubbled with 3% CO2. A relatively mild Ci stress was applied by switching the aeration from 3% CO2 to air alone. After incubation under designated conditions, a 100-ml aliquot of culture was immediately combined with an equal volume of ice-cold mixture of phenol and ethanol (1:10, w/v) in an ice bath. The resultant cells were collected by centrifugation at 1000 x g for 10 min at 4 °C. Total RNA was isolated with RNeasy Midi Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and further treated with the DNA-free kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). Fluorescently labeled cDNA was produced via a two-step indirect procedure involving cDNA synthesis from 16 µg of total RNA in a reverse transcriptase reaction incorporating aminoallyl-modified deoxynucleotide, followed by the second step involving chemical coupling of fluorescent dye to the introduced amino moieties of the synthesized cDNA. Labeled cDNA were adjusted to 14.75 µl, and the remainder of the hybridization components containing 2.5 µl of 10 µg µl-1 salmon sperm DNA, 8.75 µl of 20x SSC, 0.25 µl of 10% SDS, and 8.75 µl of formamide were added. The mixture was then heated for 2 min at 99 °C and maintained at 42 °C until hybridization. Hybridizations were preformed in a static incubator at 42 °C for 12-16 h then washed by placing in a 250-ml solution of 2x SSC and 0.1% SDS at 42 °C for 5 min with gentle agitation provided by rotation of a magnetic stir bar. The slide was transferred quickly to a 250-ml solution of 0.1x SSC and 0.1% SDS, incubated for 10 min at room temperature with gentle agitation, and washed five additional times in 0.1x SSC for 1 min at room temperature. Hybridization signals from the microarray were quantified using GenePix Pro 4.1 (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA). The quality control procedures were conducted in the image analysis software, and then data were saved to Acuity 3.1 (Axon Instruments). Keywords: time-course
