Using Proteomics for an Insight into the Performance of Activated Sludge

ABSTRACT: The performance of a lab-scale wastewater treatment plant during the start-up phase was investigated. A period of varying pH resulted in the loss of ammonium removal efficiency together with a decrease in the specific autotrophic oxygen uptake rate (OUR). From the OUR, it was inferred that the ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were inhibited by the fluctuation in the pH values. However, OUR alone could not provide the information as to how the AOB were affected at the molecular level. To gain a better insight, shotgun proteomic method was used in this work to quantify the total proteins in the system. Label-free quantification (LFQ) showed that during the time of poor ammonium removal, the marker enzyme hydroxylamine oxidase found in Nitrosomonas sp. was at the lowest LFQ intensity. Based on these results, proteomics has the potential to be used as a monitoring tool. Nevertheless, there are still some restrictions when measuring activated sludge using proteomic method such as the availability of a suitable proteomic database. In this paper, we describe our experience of using publicly available database for identification of activated sludge proteins.

RNA-seq transcription analysis of Herbaspirillum seropedicae phaC1 mutant strain in comparison with the wild type strain (SmR1)

Project description:In this study, we have investigated the physiological consequences of PHB (poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)) synthesis in H. seropedicae by characterising the trancriptional changes in a mutant strain lacking phaC1 gene which codes for the PHA synthase enzyme essential for the last step in the synthesis of PHB. To do this experiment both wild type (SmR1) and phaC1 mutant were cultured on Nfb-Malate-HP media suplemented with 20 mM of ammonium chloride under 30 Celsius degrees and 120 rpm shaking rate until the late log-phase (O.D600 = 1.0), when the peak of PHB production is observed. The cultures obtained as above were harvested for RNA extraction and transcriptome analysis.

Soil Metaproteome - proteome data analysis

Project description:Phosphorus (P) limitation will play a key role in the productivity of agriculture in the coming decades. Struvite is an ammonium magnesium phosphate mineral that can be recovered from wastewater-treatment plants and can be considered as an alternative source of P. However, the impact of struvite on the plant yield and, particularly, on the soil microbial community is barely known. Here, we tested the impacts of struvite, sewage sludge, and their combination on the barley yield, soil macro and micronutrients, and biochemical and microbiological soil properties. Amendment with struvite alone and its combination with sludge increased the availability of P in soil, the plant uptake of P and Mg, and the barley yield. The analysis of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) and metaproteomics approaches revealed significant effects of struvite on the biomass of Gram-positive bacteria and, particularly, on actinobacterial populations in soil.

Ubiquitin-independent disassembly by a p97 AAA-ATPase complex drives PP1 holoenzyme formation

Project description:Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) dephosphorylates a broad spectrum of substrates to regulate a myriad of cellular processes. This functional diversity relies on the ordered assembly of alternative PP1 holoenzymes. Here, we show that newly synthesized PP1 is first held in an inactive complex by its partners SDS22 and inhibitor-3 (I3) that needs to be disassembled by the p97 AAA-ATPase to promote exchange to substrate specifiers. Unlike p97-mediated degradative processes that require the Ufd1-Npl4 ubiquitin adapters, p97 is targeted to PP1 by p37 and related adapter proteins. Reconstitution with purified components revealed direct interaction of the p37 SEP domain with I3 without the need of ubiquitination, and ATP-driven pulling of I3 into the central channel of the p97 hexamer, which triggers dissociation of I3 and SDS22. Thus, we establish regulatory ubiquitin-independent protein complex disassembly as part of the functional arsenal of p97 and define an unanticipated essential step in PP1 biogenesis that illustrates the molecular challenges of ordered subunit exchange.

Cathepsin L Regulates Metabolic Networks Controlling Rapid Cell Growth and Proliferation

Project description:Rapidly proliferating cells reshape their metabolism to satisfy their ever-lasting need for building blocks. This phenomenon is exemplified in certain malignant conditions but also occurs during embryonic development, when cells rely heavily on glycolytic metabolism to exploit their metabolic intermediates for biosynthetic routes. How cells regulate this metabolic makeover is currently unknown. Here we report that loss of cathepsin L (CtsL) is associated with fast proliferation rate and enhanced glycolytic metabolism that depend on lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) activity. Furthermore, we show that CtsL inhibition led to increased LDHA expression, suggesting of a causal relationship between LDHA expression and function. In conclusion, we propose that CtsL regulate this metabolic circuit to keep cell division under check.

Activity profiling of αlpha-glycosidases in plants

Project description:With nearly 140 α-glycosidases in 14 different families, plants are well equipped with enzymes that can break the α-glucosidic bonds in a large diversity of molecules. Here, we introduce activity profiling of α-glycosidases in plants using α-configured cyclophellitol aziridine probes carrying various fluorophores or biotin. In Arabidopsis, these probes label members of the GH31 family of Glycosyl Hydrolases, including ER-resident α-glucosidase-II RSW3/PSL5 and Golgi-resident α-mannosidase-II HGL1, which both trim N-glycans on glycoproteins. We also detect the active state of extracellular α-glycosidases such as α-xylosidase XYL1, which acts on xyloglucan in the cell wall to promote cell expansion, and α-glucosidase AGLU1, which acts in starch hydrolysis and can suppress fungal invasion. α-glycosidase labelling causes specific signals at 100-130 kDa that are pH-dependent and can be supressed by α-glycosidase inhibitors miglitol and acarbose. The α-glycosidase probes display similar miglitol-sensitive signals in leaf extracts of in a broad range of plant species. To show its use on a non-model plant, we applied glycosidase activity profiling on Crocus sativa, a cash crop for the production of saffron spice. Using a combination of biotinylated glycosidase probes, we identified and quantified 70 active glycosidases in stigma stages 1 and 4 of saffron (Crocus sativa L.), ten of which are differentially active. We also uncover massive changes in hydrolase activities in corms upon infection with Fusarium oxysporum using multiplex fluorescent labelling in combination with probes for serine hydrolases and cysteine proteases. These experiments demonstrate the ease by which active α-glycosidases and other hydrolases can be displayed in non-model plants.

Project description:Agroinfiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana is a flexible and scalable recombinant protein (RP) production platform, but its great potential is hampered by plant proteases that degrade RPs. Here, we tested 29 candidate protease inhibitors (PIs) in agroinfiltrated N. benthamiana leaves for enhancing accumulation of three unrelated RPs: glycoenzyme α-Galactosidase, glycohormone erythropoietin (EPO) and IgG antibody VRC01. Of the previously described RP accumulation enhancing PIs, we found the cystatin SlCYS8 to be effective. We identified three additional new, unrelated PIs that enhanced RP accumulation: N. benthamiana NbPR4, NbPot1 and human HsTIMP, which are described to inhibit cysteine, serine and metalloproteases, respectively. Remarkably, accumulation of three unrelated RPs is enhanced by each PI, suggesting the mechanism of RP degradation may contain universal elements. Inhibitory motifs of HsTIMP and SlCYS8 are required to enhance RP accumulation, suggesting their target proteases may degrade RPs. Different PIs additively enhance RP accumulation, but the effect of each PI is dose-dependent. Activity-based Protein Profiling (ABPP) revealed that the activity profiles of Papain-like Cys proteases (PLCPs), Ser hydrolases (SHs) or Vacuolar Processing Enzymes (VPEs) in leaves are unaffected by the new PIs, whereas SlCYS8 specifically only suppresses PLCP activity. Quantitative leaf proteome data indicate that the three new PIs affect agroinfiltrated tissues similarly and that they all increase plant immunity. Our data indicate that RPs are degraded stepwise by a redundant, dynamic network of plant proteases. NbPR4, NbPot1 and HsTIMP can be used to identify and control new plant proteases and to enhance RP accumulation in industrial molecular farming.

Fermentative Spirochaetes drive nutrient cycling by a subsurface microbial loop in hydrocarbon-contaminated habitats

Project description:Members of the bacterial phylum Spirochaetes are primarily studied for their commensal and pathogenic roles in animal hosts. However, Spirochaetes are also frequently detected in anoxic hydrocarbon-contaminated environments but their ecological role in such ecosystems has so far remained unclear. Here we provide a functional trait to these frequently detected organisms with an example of a sulfate-reducing, naphthalene-degrading enrichment culture consisting of a sulfate-reducing deltaproteobacterium Desulfobacterium naphthalenivorans and a novel spirochete Rectinema cohabitans. Using a combination of genomic, proteomic, and physiological studies we show that R. cohabitans grows by fermentation of organic compounds derived from biomass from dead cells (necromass). It recycles the derived electrons in the form of H2 to the sulfate-reducing D. naphthalenivorans, thereby supporting naphthalene degradation and forming a simple microbial loop. We provide metagenomic evidence that equivalent associations between Spirochaetes and hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms are of general importance in hydrocarbon- and organohalide-contaminated ecosystems. We propose that environmental Spirochaetes form a critical component of a microbial loop central to nutrient cycling in subsurface environments. This emphasizes the importance of necromass and H2-cycling in highly toxic contaminated subsurface habitats such as hydrocarbon-polluted aquifers.
