Psychroflexus torquis 1D LC/MS

ABSTRACT: Proteorhodopsin has been an ongoing hot topic for the past decade. However the complete physiological role of this extremely widely distributed protein remains mysterious. In this study we aim to give an insight to the physiology of a proteorhodopsin-containing sea ice bacteria – Psychroflexus torquis using gel-free label-free proteomic approach for the first time. We also addressed the life strategy that used by this organism to successfully inhabit extreme sea ice environment.

The extremely psychrophilic proteorhodopsin-containing bacterial species Psychroflexus torquis is considered to be a model sea-ice microorganism, which has adapted to an epiphytic lifestyle. So far, not much is known about proteorhodopsin-based phototrophy and associated life strategies of sea ice bacteria, although it has been previously shown that P. torquis can gain growth advantage from light using a proteorhodopsin proton pump, the activity of which is influenced by environmental salinity. ...[more]

Project description:Acclimation to singlet oxygen was shown to induce various oxidative stress response genes of which some were also strongly overexpressed in the singlet oxygen resistant mutant sor1. Because sor1 was also more tolerant to other oxidative and electrophilic stress conditions, and because many of the sor1 overexpressed genes are known to be involved in the detoxification of reactive electrophile species, the response of the C. reinhardtii wild-type strain to various oxidative and electrophilic stress conditions was determined. Therefore, cultures were exposed to the reactive oxygen species-producing photosensitizer neutral red, the organic hydroperoxide tert-butylhydroperoxide, the photosynthetic herbicide 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB) and the lipophilic electrophile 2(E)-Hexenal for two hours and the global genetic response was analyzed. Cluster analysis revealed the most similar expression pattern between DBMIB and 2(E)-Hexenal and to a lower degree between NR and tBOOH. Still, there were many common induced genes including several of the oxidative stress response and detoxification genes overexpressed in the sor1 mutant. The 4A+ wild-type strain was grown mixotrophically in a Tris-acetate phosphate to a density of 2x10^6 cells/ml. Then cultures were split into 20 ml subcultures, and exposed to either of the four chemicals DBMIB (2 µM), 2(E)-Hexenal (0.3 mM), neutral red (NR, 3 µM), tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBOOH, 100 µM) or no chemical (control) for 2 hours, in three independent biological replicates. The cells of each replicate were harvested by centrifugation and total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). DNA microarrays were performed using the ‘One-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis’ system and a custom made 4 × 44 K ‘Chlamydomonas Whole Genome DNA Microarrays’ (Agilent Technologies) containing 15143 specific probes designed based on the Chlamydomonas version 4.0 transcript models provided by the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI), with an average of three replicates for each probe
