Cyanobacterial proteome mapping reveals distinct compartment organisation and metabolism dispersed throughout the cell

ABSTRACT: Cyanobacteria are complex prokaryotes, incorporating a Gram-negative cell wall and internal thylakoid membranes (TM). However, localisation of proteins within cyanobacterial cells is poorly understood. Using subcellular fractionation and quantitative proteomics we report the first subcellular map of the proteome of an entire cyanobacterial (or any other prokaryotic) cell, identifying ~67% of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 proteins, ~1000 more than previous studies. 1,712 proteins were assigned to six specific subcellular regions. Proteins involved in energy generation localised to TMs. The majority of transporters, with the exception of the TM localised copper importer CtaA, resided in the plasma membrane (PM). Most metabolic enzymes are soluble although numerous pathways terminated in the TM (notably those involved in peptidoglycan monomer, NADP+, heme, lipid and carotenoid biosynthesis), or the PM (specifically those catalysing lipopolysaccharide, molybdopterin, flavin adenine dinucleotide and menaquinone biosynthesis). Furthermore, we identified the proteins involved in the TM and PM electron transport chains. The majority of ribosomal proteins and enzymes synthesising the storage compound polyhydroxybuyrate formed distinct clusters within the data suggesting that they have similar subcellular distributions to one another as one would expect for proteins operating within multi-component protein structures. Moreover, heterogeneity within membrane and cytoplasmic regions is observed, indicating further cellular complexity. Cyanobacterial TM protein localisation is conserved in Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts, suggesting similar proteome organisation in higher photosynthetic organisms. The organisation of a cyanobacterial cell revealed here will significantly aid our understanding of these environmentally and biotechnological important organisms. The successful application of this technique in Synechocystis suggests it could be applied to mapping the proteomes of other cyanobacteria and complex single-celled organisms.

Cyanobacteria are complex prokaryotes, incorporating a Gram-negative cell wall and internal thylakoid membranes (TMs). However, localization of proteins within cyanobacterial cells is poorly understood. Using subcellular fractionation and quantitative proteomics, we produced an extensive subcellular proteome map of an entire cyanobacterial cell, identifying ∼67% of proteins in <i>Synechocystis</i> sp. PCC 6803, ∼1000 more than previous studies. Assigned to six specific subcellular regions were 1 ...[more]

Project description:We have characterized two post-translational histone modifications in C. elegans on a genomic scale. Micrococcal nuclease digestion and immunoprecipitation were used to obtain distinct populations of single nucleosome cores, which were analyzed using massively parallel DNA sequencing to obtain positional and coverage maps. Two methylated histone H3 populations were chosen for comparison: H3K4 histone methylation (associated with active chromosomal regions) and H3K9 histone methylation (associated with inactivity). From analysis of the sequence data, we found nucleosome cores with these modifications to be enriched in two distinct partitions of the genome; H3K4 methylation was particularly prevalent in promoter regions of widely-expressed genes while H3K9 methylation was enriched on specific chromosomal arms. For each of the six chromosomes, the highest level of H3K9 methylation corresponds to the pairing center responsible for chromosome alignment during meiosis. H3K9 enrichment at pairing centers appears to be an early mark in meiotic chromosome sorting, occurring in the absence of components required for proper pairing of homologous chromosomes. H3K9 methylation shows an intricate pattern within the chromosome arms, with a particular anti-correlation to regions that display a strong ~10 bp periodicity of AA/TT dinucleotides that is known to associate with germline trancription. By contrast to the global features observed with H3K9 methylation, H3K4 methylation profiles were most striking in their local characteristics around promoters, providing a unique promoter-central landmark for 3903 C. elegans genes and allowing a precise analysis of nucleosome positioning in the context of transcriptional initiation. Keywords: epigenetics Examination of total nucleosome and nucleosomes with 2 different histone modifications in C. elegans. 5 samples are analyzed: 1. total mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans wild type strain N2, 2. anti-H3K4me2/3 precipitated mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans wild type strain N2, 3. anti-H3K9me3 precipitated mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans wild type strain N2, 4. total mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans mutant strain zim-2(tm-574), 5. anti-H3K9me3 precipitated mononucleosome core DNA from C. elegans mutant strain zim-2(tm-574)

Project description:Traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) remains the least understood of all the colorectal adenomas although these lesions have been associated with a significant cancer risk- twice that of the conventional adenoma (CAD) and of the sessile serrated adenoma (SSA/P). This study was performed to investigate the proteomic profiles of the different colorectal adenomas to better assess the pathogenesis of TSA. We performed a global quantitative expression profile of 44 colorectal adenomas (12 TSA, 15 CAD, 17 SSA/Ps) and 17 normal colonic mucosa, conserved as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples, by the label-free quantification (LFQ) method. Unsupervised consensus hierarchical clustering applied to the whole proteomic profile of the 44 colorectal adenomas identified four subtypes. The C1 and C2 were well-individualized clusters composed of most of the CAD (14/15) and most of the SSA (13/17) respectively. This is consistent with the fact that CAD and SSA/Ps are homogeneous but distinct colorectal adenoma entities. In contrast, TSA were subdivided into C3 and C4 clusters that also contained CAD and SSA/Ps, consistent with the more heterogeneous entity of TSA at the morphological and molecular levels. The comparison of the proteome expression profile between the adenoma subtypes and normal colonic mucosa further confirmed the heterogeneous nature of TSA that merged either on CAD or SSA, while CAD and TSA formed homogeneous and distinct entities. Furthermore, we identified LEFTY1 a new potential marker for TSA that may be relevant for the TSA pathogenesis. LEFTY1 is an inhibitor of the Nodal/TGFb pathway that we found to be one of the most overexpressed proteins specifically in the TSA and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Taken together, our study confirms that CAD and SSA form homogenous but distinct colorectal adenoma entities while TSA are an heterogeneous entity and may arise from either SSA or from normal mucosa that will evolve along the conventional adenoma pathway.
