The Antarctic Chlamydomonas spp. UWO241 and ICE-MDV exhibit differential restructuring of Photosystem I in response to iron

ABSTRACT: Past studies have shown that the photosynthetic apparatus of a psychrophilic alga C. sp. UWO241 is remodeled to support high rates of Photosystem I (PSI)-associated cyclic electron flow (CEF). Iron levels in ELB are in the nanomolar range; therefore, we hypothesized that PSI restructuring in C. sp. UWO241 may reflect a strategy to survive long-term Fe-deficiency. We studied the effect of Fe availability in C. sp. UWO241, a mesophile, C. reinhardtii, and a second ELB psychrophile, Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-MDV. Under Fe-deficient conditions (2 µM Fe), abundance of the PSI reaction center protein, PsaA, as well as levels of photooxidizable P700 (ΔA820/A820) were significantly reduced in both psychrophiles relative to C. reinhardtii. In response to increased Fe, C. sp. ICE-MDV exhibited increases in PSI 77K Chl a fluorescence and ΔA820/A820 which matched that of C. reinhardtii, while C. sp. UWO241 exhibited moderate restoration of PSI function. Our results indicate that PSI functional organization in C. sp. UWO241 is unique. The unique physiological traits in PSI photochemistry exhibited by the psychrophiles may reflect adaptation to the stratified physicochemical conditions present the shallow vs. deep photic zones of a chemically Antarctic lake.

Chlamydomonas sp. UWO241 is a psychrophilic alga isolated from the deep photic zone of a perennially ice-covered Antarctic lake (east lobe Lake Bonney, ELB). Past studies have shown that C. sp. UWO241 exhibits constitutive downregulation of photosystem I (PSI) and high rates of PSI-associated cyclic electron flow (CEF). Iron levels in ELB are in the nanomolar range leading us to hypothesize that the unusual PSI phenotype of C. sp. UWO241 could be a response to chronic Fe-deficiency. We studied t ...[more]

Project description:Mitochondria share attributes of vesicular transport with their bacterial ancestors given their ability to form mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs). MDV formation enhances with stress and has been explored for its potential role in mitochondrial-directed cellular and extracellular signalling. Although the fate of MDVs as a form of mitochondrial quality control and cellular communication has been suggested, the proteomic cargo has remained mostly undefined. In this study, we strategically used an in vitro MDV budding/reconstitution assay, following graded oxidative stress on cardiac mitochondria, to identify and characterize the MDV proteome. Our results confirmed previously identified cardiac MDV markers while also revealing a complete map of the MDV proteome, paving the way to understanding the likely roles for MDV release. MDV cargo was particularly enriched with mitochondrial matrix and inner membrane proteins. Oxidative stress vulnerability of proteins directed the cargo loading, which was enhanced by antimycin A (Ant-A). Among OXPHOS complexes, complexes III and V were found to be Ant-A-sensitive. Proteins from metabolic pathways such as TCA cycle, amino acid, fatty acid and aldehyde metabolism, Fe-S cluster, antioxidant response proteins, autophagy and vesicular processes were also found to be Ant-A sensitive. Intriguingly, proteins containing hyper-reactive cysteine residues (HRCR), which act as redox switches in regulating metabolic pathways, including professional redox enzymes and those that are involved in iron metabolism were found to be loaded in MDVs with Ant-A sensitivity. Lastly, we estimated a possible significant contribution of MDVs to the formation of extracellular vesicles, which can serve as an indicator of mitochondrial stress. In conclusion, using graded oxidative stress, our study gives a layout of MDV proteomics signature, delineates the cargo selectivity and hints at the potential of MDVs and the novel protein cargo identified to serve as vital biomarkers during mitochondrial stress and its related pathologies.
