The changes of Proteomeand Protein Phosphorylation reveals the protective roles of exogenous nitrogen in alleviating cadmium toxicityin poplar plants

ABSTRACT: Phytoremediation soil polluted by heavy metal has been drawn on a worldwide attention from human society. However, how to improve the efficiency of plant remediation of soil contaminated by cadmium remains unknown. Previous studies showed that nitrogen (N) significantly enhanced cadmium uptake in poplar plants. In order to further explore the key role of N in the detoxification against cadmium stress in plants, this study try to investigate the poplar proteome and phosphoproteome difference between Cd stress and Cd+N treatment. In total, 5838 of the 6573 identified were quantified. With a fold-change threshold >1.3 and p-value<0.05, 375 and 108 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd stress when compared to the control, 42 and 89 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / Cd group, 522 and 127 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in Cd+N / CK group. In addition, the phosphoproteome data was obtained after the proteomic difference was normalized, and 1471phosphosites in 721 proteins were quantified. Based on a fold-change threshold >1.2, P-value <0.05, the Cd stress up-regulated 8 phosphosites in 8 proteins and down-regulated 69 phosphosites in 58 proteins, whereas N+Cd treatment up-regulated 95 phosphosites in 86 proteins and down-regulated 17 phosphosites in 17 proteins when compared to sole Cd stress. In addition, N+Cd treatment up-regulated 74 phosphosites in 60 proteins and down-regulated 42 phosphosites in 37 proteins when compared to the control.Several putative responses to stress proteins, transcriptional and translational regulation factors were up-regulated by addition ofexogenous nitrogen followed Cd stress at the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. Especially, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), peroxidase (POD), zinc finger protein (ZFP), ABC transporter protein (ABC), eukaryotic translation initiation factor (elF) and splicing factor 3B subunit 1-like (SF3BI) were up-regulated by Cd+N treatment whether at the proteome or at the phosphoproteome levels, which was need to further study. In a word, taken together of proteome and phosphoproteome data, nitrogen serves a protective role in plants treated with Cd by multiple ways.

Phytoremediation soil polluted by cadmium has drawn worldwide attention. However, how to improve the efficiency of plant remediation of cadmium contaminated soil remains unknown. Previous studies showed that nitrogen (N) significantly enhances cadmium uptake and accumulation in poplar plants. In order to explore the important role of nitrogen in plants' responses to cadmium stress, this study investigates the poplar proteome and phosphoproteome difference between Cd stress and Cd + N treatment. ...[more]

Project description:Field-selected tolerance to heavy metals has been reported for Orchesella cincta (Arthropoda: Collembola) populations occurring at metal-contaminated mining sites. This tolerance is correlated with heritable increase of metal excretion efficiency; less pronounce cadmium induced growth reduction and, over-expression of the metallothionein gene. We applied transcriptomics to determine differential gene expression caused by this abiotic stress in reference and cadmium tolerant populations. Many cDNAs responded to cadmium exposure in a reference population. Significantly fewer clones were cadmium responsive in tolerant animals. Analysis of variance revealed transcripts that interact between cadmium exposure and population. Hierarchical clustering of these clones revealed two major groups. The first one contained cDNAs that were up regulated by cadmium in the reference culture, but non-responsive or down regulated in tolerant animals. This cluster was also characterized by elevated constitutive expression in the tolerant population. Gene ontology analysis revealed that these cDNAs were involved in structural integrity of the cuticle, anti-microbial defense, calcium-channel blocking, neurotransmitter transport, chromatin remodeling and, endoplasmatic vesicle activity. The second group consisted of cDNAs down regulated in reference animals but not responding or slightly up regulated in tolerant animals. Their functions involved carbohydrate metabolic processes, Ca2+ dependent stress signaling, proteolysis and digestion. The reference population showed a strong signature of stress-induced genome-wide perturbation of gene expression, whereas the tolerant animals maintained normal gene expression upon cadmium exposure. We confirmed the micro-evolutionary processes occurring in soil arthropod populations and suggest a major contribution of gene regulation to the evolution of a stress-adapted phenotype. Orchesella cincta (Collembola) from the laboratory population (LC) at the department of Animal Ecology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam were taken as the reference group. This population originated from a pine forest from the reference area (Roggebotzand, the Netherlands, latitude N = 52 º 34’17’’, longitude E = 5 º 47’56’’) that contains on average < 0.5 μg cadmium per gram litter and humus. Tolerant animals were collected from randomly selected litter samples at two areas of the abandoned, but still heavily polluted lead/zinc mining site of Plombières (Belgium, latitude N = 50˚44’03’’, longitude E = 5˚58’02’’): the locations contain an average cadmium concentration between 10 and 52 μg.g-1 soil (Lock et al. 2003; Sterenborg 2003; Van Straalen et al. 1987). To diminish putative environmental effects from the field the animals were reared in a climate room (20°C, 75% humidity, LD 12 h:12 h) in PVC jars on a moist plaster of Paris layer feeding on algae present on twigs for at least three generations before experimental treatment. Animals were exposed to cadmium (nominal concentration of 112,4 μg cadmium.g-1 dry algae) for 3 days, directly after molting, via algal food. Control groups received the same treatment except that water was spiked into the algal food instead of cadmium solution. The cadmium exposure concentration is two times the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) for reproduction in chronically exposed animals. Total RNA was extracted from times 12 pooled animals per treatment using SV Total RNA Isolation system (Promega) and quantified on a Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Nanodrop Technologies). Total RNA was visualized on a 1.5% agarose gel to verify its integrity. Each experimental group (pool of 12 animals) was replicated 8 times. Dyes were swapped between biological replicates: 4 Cy-3 labeled replicates and 4 Cy-5 lebeled replicates per experimental group Microarray experiment was designed in a closed loop Lab culture clean vs Cd, Lab culture Cd vs Tolerant culture Cd, Tolerant culture Cd vs Tolerant culture clean, Tolerant culture clean vs lab culture clean

Project description:The expected increase of sustainable energy demand has shifted the attention towards bioenergy crops. Due to their know tolerance against abiotic stress and relatively low supply request, they have been proposed as election crops to be cultivated in marginal lands without disturbing the part of lands employed for agricultural purposes. Arundo donax L. is a promising bioenergy crop whose behaviour under water and salt stress has been recently studied at transcriptomic levels. As the anthropogenic activities produced in the last years a worrying increase of cadmium contamination worldwide, the aim of our work was to decipher the global transcriptomic response of A. donax leaf and root in the perspective of its cultivation in contaminated soil. In our study, RNA-seq libraries yielded a total of 416 million clean reads and 10.4 Gb per sample. De novo assembly of clean reads resulted in 378,521 transcripts and 126,668 unigenes with N50 length of 1812 bp and 1555 bp, respectively. Differential gene expression analysis revealed 5,303 deregulated transcripts (3,206 up- and 2,097 down regulated) specifically observed in the Cd-treated roots compared to Cd-treated leaves. Among them, we identified genes related to “Protein biosynthesis”, “Phytohormone action”, “Nutrient uptake”, “Cell wall organisation”, “Polyamine metabolism”, “Reactive oxygen species metabolism” and “Ion membrane transport”. Globally, our results indicate that ethylene biosynthesis and the downstream signal cascade are strongly induced by cadmium stress. In accordance to ethylene role in the interaction with the ROS generation and scavenging machinery, the transcription of several genes (NADPH oxidase 1, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, different glutathione S-transferases and catalase) devoted to cope the oxidative stress is strongly activated. Several small signal peptides belonging to ROTUNDIFOLIA, CLAVATA3, and C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDE 1 (CEP) are also among the up-regulated genes in Cd-treated roots functioning as messenger molecules from root to shoot in order to communicate the stressful status to the upper part of the plants. Finally, the main finding of our work is that genes involved in cell wall remodelling and lignification are decisively up-regulated in giant reed roots this being a mechanism of cadmium avoidance adopted by giant cane and strongly supporting its cultivation in cadmium contaminated soils in a perspective to save agricultural soil for food and feed crops.

Project description:Thermococcus gammatolerans, the most radioresistant archaeon known to date, is an anaerobic and hyperthermophilic sulfur-reducing organism living in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Knowledge of mechanisms underlying archaeal metal tolerance in such metal-rich ecosystem is still poorly documented. We showed that T. gammatolerans exhibits high resistance to cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co) and zinc (Zn), a weaker tolerance to nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and arsenate (AsO4) and that cells exposed to 1mM Cd exhibit a cellular Cd concentration of 66M-BM-5M. A time-dependent transcriptomic analysis using microarrays was performed at a non-toxic (100M-NM-<M) and a toxic (1mM) Cd dose. The reliability of microarray data was strengthened by real time RT-PCR validations. Altogether, 114 Cd responsive genes were revealed and a substantial subset of genes is related to metal homeostasis, drug detoxification, re-oxidization of cofactors and ATP production. This first genome-wide expression profiling study of archaeal cells challenged with Cd showed that T. gammatolerans withstands induced stress through pathways observed in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes but also through new and original strategies. T. gammatolerans cells challenged with 1mM Cd basically promote: 1) the induction of several transporter/permease encoding genes, probably to detoxify the cell; 2) the upregulation of Fe transporters encoding genes to likely compensate Cd damages in iron-containing proteins; 3) the induction of membrane-bound hydrogenase (Mbh) and membrane-bound hydrogenlyase (Mhy2) subunits encoding genes involved in recycling reduced cofactors and/or in proton translocation for energy production. By contrast to other organisms, redox homeostasis genes appear constitutively expressed and only a few genes encoding DNA repair proteins are regulated. We compared the expression of 27 Cd responsive genes in other stress conditions (Zn, Ni, heat shock, M-NM-3-rays), and showed that the Cd transcriptional pattern is comparable to other metal stress transcriptional responses (Cd, Zn, Ni) but not to a general stress response. Kinetics of gene expression changes induced by Cd were performed at two different concentrations (0.1mM and 1mM) and at 3 time points (30, 120 and 270 min). A 0.1mM Cd concentration did not affect the growth rate, whereas 1mM Cd induced a transitory growth arrest for 270min. Late exponentially growing cells (7x107 cells/mL) were exposed to Cd and were collected after 30min, 120 min and after 270 min. For each time point, four slides containing the 2157 oligonucleotide gene probes printed in duplicate were hybridized. The experiment was repeated twice leading to eight data sets per time point (four per biological replicate). Microarray analyses monitored 161 transcriptional changes (M-bM-^NM-^_Fold Change (FC)M-bM-^NM-^\M-bM-^IM-%2 and p-Value M-bM-^IM-$ 0.01) in response to Cd exposure corresponding to 114 unique genes i.e. 5,3% of T. gammatolerans gene content, most of them being upregulated. While about 25% of the upregulated genes exhibited a FC>3 with a maximum of almost 10 for one encoding a conserved hypothetical protein (tg0885, 1mM Cd at 120min), the large majority of the up- and down-regulated genes exhibited a 2 to 3-fold transcriptional change as already described in many archaeal transcriptomic studies.
