Blue light promotes zero-valent sulfur production in a deep-sea bacterium

ABSTRACT: Bacteria isolated from diverse environments were found to sense blue light to regulate their biological functions. However, this ability of deep-sea bacteria has been studied rarely. In this study, we found serendipitously that blue light stimulated excess zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) production of E. flavus 21-3, which was isolated from the deep-sea cold seep and possessed a novel thiosulfate oxidation pathway. Its ZVS production responding to the blue light was mediated by a light-oxygen-voltage histidine kinase (LOV-1477), a diguanylate cyclase (DGC-2902), a PilZ protein (mPilZ-1753) and the key thiosulfate dehydrogenase (TsdA) in its thiosulfate oxidation pathway. Subsequently, the thiosulfohydrolase (SoxB-277) was found working with another SoxB (SoxB-285) and being as substitute for each other to generate ZVS. This study provided an example of deep-sea bacteria sensing blue light to regulate thiosulfate oxidation. Deep-sea blue light potentially helped these blue-light-sensing bacteria adapt harsh conditions by diversifying their biological processes.

A deep-sea bacterium senses and utilizes blue light via a BLUF-dependent pathway

Project description:Light was a ubiquitous environmental stimulus. Deep-sea microorganisms were exposed to a pervasive blue light optical environment. The utilization of blue light by deep-sea microorganisms, especially non-photosynthetic microorganisms, and the downstream pathway after light reception were obscure. Under the enrichment condition surrounded by blue light, a potential novel species named Spongiibacter nanhainus CSC3.9 from the deep-sea cold seep was isolated. Its growth and metabolism under blue light were significantly better than other wavelengths of light. Six blue light sensing proteins, including four BLUF (Blue Light Using Flavin) and two bacteriophytochrome, were annotated in the genome of strain CSC3.9. Then, with the assist of proteomic analysis, we demonstrated that 15960-BLUF was a crucial blue light receptor that interfered with motor behavior through chemotaxis pathway by means of in vivo and in vitro verification. In addition, 15960-BLUF mediated part of the blue light to promote the growth of strain CSC3.9. Further, we summarized the functional BLUF proteins from isolated marine microorganisms, and the high abundance distribution of BLUF similar to the downstream unresponsive domain type in strain CSC3.9 was demonstrated. The widespread distribution of BLUF protein in marine bacteria implied the extensiveness of this regulatory mechanism, and wavelength variation of light was a potential means to isolate uncultured microorganisms. This was the first reported in deep-sea microorganisms that BLUF-dependent physiological response to blue light. It provided a new clue for the blue light adaptation of microorganisms in disphotic zone.

Thiosulfate oxidation in Erythrobacter flavus 21-3 provides novel clues to the source of element sulfur in the deep-sea cold seep

Project description:Zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) and thiosulfate are important intermediates in the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur. The former has been proved to be existed in the cold seep and hydrothermal systems. Three thiosulfate oxidation pathways are already identified and here we found a novel one in Erythrobacter, which was the first genus in the family Erythrobacteraceae that could accumulate ZVS during thiosulfate oxidation. Erythrobacter flavus 21-3 was isolated from the sediment of clod seep. Genomic analyses showed the typical genes encoding Sox multienzyme complex were absent in the genome of E. flavus 21-3. Through proteome and genome data, we identified a three gene involved pathway of thiosulfate oxidation, including thiosulfate dehydrogenase (tsdA), thiosulfohydrolase (soxB) and sulfur dioxygenases (sdo). For the first time, genetic operating system was constructed in Erythrobacter, and mutant strains ΔtsdA, ΔsoxB, ΔsdoA, ΔsdoB and ΔsdoAB were constructed. Stoichiometry was calculated and tetrathionate and ZVS were found to be the intermediates in this novel thiosulfate oxidation pathway. The diverse and distribution of these proteins were investigated and this novel thiosulfate oxidation pathway may exist in bacteria formerly ignored the function of ZVS production. The results give a powerful evidence for a new source of biogenetic ZVS in cold seep.

Role of thiosulfate as a source of energy in the bathypelagic North Atlantic Ocean

Project description:The available energy and carbon sources for prokaryotes in the deep ocean remain still largely enigmatic. Reduced sulfur compounds, such as thiosulfate, are a potential energy source for both auto- and heterotrophic marine prokaryotes. Shipboard experiments performed in the North Atlantic using Labrador Sea Water (~2000 m depth) amended with thiosulfate led to an enhanced prokaryotic dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fixation.

Blue Light Sensing in Listeria monocytogenes Is Temperature-Dependent and the Transcriptional Response to It Is Predominantly SigB-Dependent

Project description:In this study the global transcriptional response of L. monocytogenes to blue light was elucidated using an RNAseq-based approach. A transcriptomic analysis of the response to sub-lethal levels of blue light found that the changes in transcription were almost entirely SigB-dependent. A mutant where the light sensing mechanism of RsbL was inactivated through an amino acid substitution (Cys56Ala) was found to have an attenuated response to blue light, but residual activation of SigB-dependent genes suggested that alternative routes for activation of SigB by light are likely to exist.

RNA-seq analysis of the transcriptional response to blue and red light in the extremophilic red alga, Cyanidioschyzon merolae

Project description:Light is one of the main environmental cues that affects the physiology and behavior of many organisms. The effect of light on genome-wide transcriptional regulation has been well-studied in green algae and plants, but not in red algae. Cyanidioschyzon merolae is used as a model red algae, and is suitable for studies on transcriptomics because of its compact genome with a relatively small number of genes. In addition, complete genome sequences of the nucleus, mitochondrion, and chloroplast of this organism have been determined. Together, these attributes make C. merolae an ideal model organism to study the response to light stimuli at the transcriptional and the systems biology levels. Previous studies have shown that light significantly affects cell signaling in this organism, but there are no reports on its blue light- and red light-mediated transcriptional responses. We investigated the direct effects of blue and red light at the transcriptional level using RNA-seq. Blue and red light were found to regulate 35% of the total genes in C. merolae. Blue light affected the transcription of genes involved protein synthesis while red light specifically regulated the transcription of genes involved in photosynthesis and DNA repair. Blue or red light regulated genes involved in carbon metabolism and pigment biosynthesis. Overall, our data showed that red and blue light regulate the majority of the cellular, cell division, and repair processes in C. merolae. Identification of blue light and red light regulated genes by deep sequencing in biological duplicates. qRT-PCR was performed to verify the RNA-seq results.

The aureochrome photoreceptor PtAUREO1a is a highly effective blue light switch in diatoms

Project description:Aureochromes represent a unique type of blue-light photoreceptors that possess a blue-light sensing flavin-binding LOV-domain and a DNA-binding bZIP domain. Therefore, in contrast to other photoreceptors, aureochromes are considered as light-driven transcription factors. As a member of the essential group of marine primary producers, the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum possesses four aureochromes (PtAUREO1a, 1b, 1c, 2). We here show a dramatic change in the global gene expression pattern of P. tricornutum cells after a shift from red to blue light. About 75% of the genes show significantly changed transcript levels already after 10 and 60 min of blue light exposure, which includes genes of major transcription factors as well as other photoreceptors. Very surprisingly, in two independent PtAureo1a knockout lines, this light induced regulation of gene expression is almost completely abolished. Such a massive and fast transcriptional change depending on only one single photoreceptor is so far unprecedented. We hence conclude that PtAUREO1a plays a key role in light regulation.

Cryptochromes interact directly with PIFs to control plant growth in limiting blue light

Project description:Sun-loving plants have the ability to detect and avoid shading through sensing of both blue and red light wavelengths. Higher plant cryptochromes (CRYs) control how plants modulate growth in response to changes in blue light. For growth under a canopy, where blue light is diminished, CRY1 and CRY2 perceive this change and respond by directly contacting two bHLH transcription factors, PIF4 and PIF5. These factors are also known to be controlled by phytochromes, the red/far-red photoreceptors; however, transcriptome analyses indicate that the gene regulatory programs induced by the different light wavelengths are distinct. Our results indicate that CRYs signal by modulating PIF activity genome-wide, and that these factors integrate binding of different plant photoreceptors to facilitate growth changes under different light conditions.
