Acanthamoeba species are infected by the largest known DNA viruses. These include icosahedral Mimiviruses, amphora-shaped Pandoraviruses, and Pithovirus sibericum, the latter one isolated from 30,000-y-old permafrost. Mollivirus sibericum, a fourth type of giant virus, was isolated from the same permafrost sample. Its approximately spherical virion (0.6-µm diameter) encloses a 651-kb GC-rich genome encoding 523 proteins of which 64% are ORFans; 16% have their closest homolog in Pandoraviruses an ...[more]

Proteomic analyses of Pandoravirions

Project description:With its 2.5 Mb DNA genome packed in amphora-shaped particles of bacterium-like dimension (1.2 µm in length, 0.5 µm in diameter), the Acanthamoeba-infecting Pandoravirus salinus remained the most spectacular and intriguing virus since its description in 2013. Following its isolation from shallow marine sediment off the coast of central Chile, that of its relative Pandoravirus dulcis from a fresh water pond near Melbourne, Australia, suggested that they were the first representatives of an emerging worldwide-distributed family of giant viruses. This was further suggested when P. inopinatum discovered in Germany, was sequenced in 2015. We now report the isolation and genome sequencing of three new strains (P. quercus, P.neocaledonia, P. macleodensis) from France, New Caledonia, and Australia. Using a combination of transcriptomic, proteomic, and bioinformatic analyses, we found that these six viruses share enough distinctive features to justify their classification in a new family, the Pandoraviridae, distinct from that of other large DNA viruses.

Proteomic characterization of Zamilon vitis virions produced in various contexts

Project description:Acanthamoeba-infecting Mimiviridae belong to three clades: Mimiviruses (A), Moumouviruses (B) and Megaviruses (C). The uniquely complex mobilome of these giant viruses includes virophages and linear 7 kb-DNA molecules called “transpovirons”. We recently isolated a new virophage (Zamilon vitis) and two new transpovirons (maBtv and mvCtv) respectively associated to B-clade and C-clade Mimiviridae. We used the capacity of the Zamilon virophage to replicate both on B-clade and C-clade host viruses to investigate the three partite interaction network governing the propagation of transpovirons. We notably performed proteomic comparisons of host viruses and virophage particles carrying or cleared of transpovirons in search of proteins involved in this adaptation process. These experiments revealed that transpoviron-encoded proteins are synthetized during the combined Mimiviridae/virophage/transpoviron replication process and are specifically incorporated into the virophage and Mimiviridae virions together with the cognate transpoviron DNA. This is a unique example of intricate commensalism in the viral world, where the Zamilon virophage and the transpoviron depend on their host giant virus to replicate, and the transpoviron depends on the virophage to propagate from one host virus to another.

Transcription profiling of Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus infecting Acanthamoeba castellanii for different lengths of time

Project description:A culture of Acanthamoeba castellanii cells was infected with mimivirus. At specified times after infection, infected cells aliquots were subjected to total RNA extraction. Cy3 labeled cDNA was hybridized on custom designed Agilent oligonucleotide tiling microarrays covering both strands of the mimivirus genome.

The functional potential of high Arctic permafrost

Project description:The fate of the carbon stocked in permafrost soils following global warming and permafrost thaw is of major concern in view of the potential for increased CH4 and CO2 emissions from these soils. Complex carbon compound degradation and greenhouse gas emissions are due to soil microbial communities, but their composition and functional potential in permafrost soils are largely unknown. Here, a 2 m deep permafrost and its overlying active layer soil were subjected to metagenome sequencing, quantitative PCR, and microarray analyses. The active layer soil and 2 m permafrost soil microbial community structures were very similar, with Actinobacteria being the dominant phylum. The two soils also possessed a highly similar spectrum of functional genes, especially when compared to other already published metagenomes. Key genes related to methane generation, methane oxidation and organic matter degradation were highly diverse for both soils in the metagenomic libraries and some (e.g. pmoA) showed relatively high abundance in qPCR assays. Genes related to nitrogen fixation and ammonia oxidation, which could have important roles following climatic change in these nitrogen-limited environments, showed low diversity but high abundance. The 2 m permafrost soil showed lower abundance and diversity for all the assessed genes and taxa. Experimental biases were also evaluated and showed that the whole community genome amplification technique used caused large representational biases in the metagenomic libraries. This study described for the first time the detailed functional potential of permafrost-affected soils and detected several genes and microorganisms that could have crucial importance following permafrost thaw. A 2m deep permafrost sample and it overlying active layer were sampled and their metagenome analysed. For microarray analyses, 8 other soil samples from the same region were used for comparison purposes.

Microbial life in permafrost: predictions of microbial response to natural thaw using a multi-omics approach

Project description:Over 20% of Earth’s terrestrial surface is underlain by permafrost that represents one of the largest terrestrial carbon pools, with an estimated ~1700 Pg of carbon (C) contained in the upper 3 m of permafrost. Models estimate that C release from thawing permafrost might represent the largest new transfer of C from the biosphere to the atmosphere as the climate warms. Here we investigated microbial community phylogeny, genetic functional potential gene expression, and protein production patterns along a natural thaw gradient, including permafrost, the seasonally thawed active layer and nearby thawed thermokarst bog, using a combination of molecular “omics” approaches: metagenomics (MG), metatranscriptomics (MT) and metaproteomics (MP). Highlights from these analyses reveal energy yielding microbial processes and potential strategies for microbial survival in permafrost soils, and linkages between biogeochemical process rates and –omics measurements. The results provide new knowledge about microbial life and activity potential in permafrost, the potential importance of iron reduction as a survival strategy under frozen conditions in mineral soils, and the importance of methanogenesis following thaw. The multi-omics strategy demonstrated here enables better mechanistic understanding of the ecological strategies utilized by soil microbial communities in response to climate change.

A time-resolved multi-omics atlas of Acanthamoeba castellanii encystment

Project description:Encystment is a common response of most protists to stress. Although some signaling pathways regulating this process were reported, our knowledge remains limited. Here, we mapped the molecular changes occurring in the amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii during the early steps of encystment. De novo analysis of the transcriptome identified more than 150,000 previously undescribed transcripts that were utilized for mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis after triggering starvation. With this strategy, we identified thousands of protein sequences absent from the reference genome. These results revealed the regulation of expected biological processes, such as the shutdown of cell proliferation at transcript level followed by down-regulation of proteins. The phosphoproteome showed a quick regulation of phosphorylation sites involved in cytoskeleton remodeling and translation regulation, among other processes underlying A. castellanii encystment. To our knowledge, this work constitutes the first time-resolved molecular atlas of an encysting organism and a useful resource to further investigating amoebae encystment.
