Project description:Protein phosphorylation via serine/threonine protein kinases (Spk) is a widespread mechanism to adjust cellular processes toward changing environmental conditions. To study their role(s) in cyanobacteria, we established a collection of 11 completely segregated spk mutants among the 12 annotated Spk’s in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Screening of the mutant collection revealed that especially the mutant defective in SpkB encoded by slr1697 showed clear deviations compared to wild type (WT) regarding carbon metabolism, i.e., a reduced growth rate at low CO2 and in the presence of glucose, different glycogen accumulation patterns, and a higher tolerance to external H2O2 than the WT. The proteome of ∆spkB showed several distinct differences compared to WT, which indicate changes of the cell surface but also metabolic functions. A phospho-proteome analysis revealed decreased phosphorylation of the carboxysome-associated protein CcmM and the regulatory PII protein in the mutant compared to WT, whereas the allophycocyanin alpha subunit was stronger phosphorylated. The decreased phosphorylation of PII was verified in Western-blot experiments, indicating a clearly delayed PII phosphorylation in cells shifted from nitrate-containing to nitrate-free medium. Furthermore, the mutant ∆spkB showed differences in the state transition consistent with the changed phosphorylation of allophycocyanin. Collectively our results indicate that SpkB is an important regulator under different environmental conditions in Synechocystis and seems to interact in the PII phosphorylation and probably with further substrates in a kinase network.

Project description:The general acclimation of cyanobacteria to low carbon (LC) conditions includes coordinated alterations of gene expression and metabolism. To analyze possible signals for LC sensing and compensating reactions, we compared wild-type (WT) cells with two mutants of Synechocystis, the carboxysome-less mutant ccmM and the photorespiratory mutant ΔglcD1/D2. Metabolic phenotyping revealed that the mutant ΔccmM accumulated high 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG) levels while the ΔglcD1/D2 mutant accumulated glycolate, indicating oxygenase activity of RubisCO at high carbon (HC). The changes in the metabolite spectrum were compared to alterations in the global gene expression pattern. Cells of HC-grown mutants ΔccmM and ΔglcD1/D2 showed altered mRNA levels for many genes involved in photosynthesis, high light stress, and N-assimilation, while LC-specific genes such as those for inorganic carbon (Ci) transporters were not increased. After a shift to LC, mutant ΔglcD1/D2 revealed gene expression changes similar to WT cells, while mutant ΔccmM showed no differential expression of most LC-induced genes under identical conditions. In fact, none of the genes for Ci transporters or other components of the carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) displayed higher transcript levels in the ΔccmM mutant. This finding renders a direct role for 2PG as a metabolic signal component for the induction of CCM during LC acclimation less likely. Because, the transcription pattern of ΔglcD1/D2 under LC showed specific differences compared to WT, a potential role for glycolate as a signal molecule that may trigger expression of parts of the CCM is proposed. Transcriptional profiling of carboxysomal and photorespiratory mutants of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under high carbon (HC) and low carbon (LC) conditions relative to the wildtype response.

Project description:The 6S RNA is a global transcriptional riboregulator, which is exceptionally widespread among most bacterial phyla. While its role is already well-characterized in heterotrophic bacteria, we subjected a cyanobacterial homolog to functional analysis, thereby extending the scope of 6S RNA action to the special challenges of photoautotrophic lifestyles. This study reveals 6S RNA as an integral part of the cellular response of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to changing nitrogen availability. Physiological characterization of a 6S RNA deletion strain (ÎssaA) demonstrates a delay in the recovery from nitrogen starvation. Significantly decelerated phycobilisome reassembly and glycogen degradation is accompanied with reduced photosynthetic activity compared to the wild type. Transcriptome profiling further revealed that predominantly genes encoding components of both photosystems, ATP synthase and the phycobilisomes were negatively affected in the ÎssaA mutant. In vivo pull-down studies of the RNA polymerase complex further indicate a promoting effect of 6S RNA on the recruitment of the cyanobacterial housekeeping sigma factor SigA, concurrently supporting dissociation of group II sigma factors during recovery from nitrogen starvation. According to these results, 6S RNA supports a rapid adaptation to changing nitrogen conditions by regulating the switch from group II sigma factors SigB / SigC to SigE / SigA dependent transcription. We performed microarray analysis of total RNA from wild-type and âssaA cultures that were starved for nitrogen for seven days and recovered over a period of 48 hours. Sampling time points were t1 = 1h +N, t2 = 4h +N and t3 = 22h +N after nitrogen recovery. Samples were taken in biological replicates.

Project description:The trophic condition related proteomes of an oxygenic photosynthetic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (glucose tolerant strain) were analyzed to get further insights into the metabolic traits governing the early exponential growth under photoautotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions. The cells were grown under constant light autotrophically (AT) in low (air-level) CO2 (ATLC) and in high CO2 (ATHC), mixotrophically (MT) in low (air-level) CO2 in the presence of glucose (MTLC) and heterotrophically in low (air-level) CO2 in the presence of glucose and only 10 min exposure to light every 24 hours (Light-Activated Heterotrophic Growth; LAHGLC). The proteomes of ATHC, MTLC and LAHGLC differed substantially from that of ATLC, particularly by downregulation of the inducible carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM) and photorespiration related enzymes. On the contrary, under carbon-rich conditions (ATHC, MTLC, LAHGLC) the cells accumulated respiratory NAD(P)H dehydrogenase I complexes in the thylakoid membrane. In glucose supplemented cultures (MTLC, LAHGLC) a distinct NDH-2 protein, NdbA, additionally accumulated in the thylakoid membrane whilst the plasma membrane localized NdbC and ARTO decreased in abundance. The light-harvesting proteins together with the photosystem I and II subunits were uniquely depleted under LAHGLC condition, accumulated under ATHC and in MTLC remained at the level of the reference ATLC condition. The accumulation of P-transporters was unique, revealing only minor differences between ATLC and ATHC but strong up-regulation in MTLC and down-regulation in LAHGLC. This likely implies that MTLC stores energy surplus in the highly energetic bonds of polyphosphate polymer that can be used under unfavorable growth conditions. It is concluded that the rigor of cell growth in MTLC condition results to a great extent from high intracellular inorganic carbon conditions created upon glucose breakdown and release of CO2, beside the direct utilization of glucose-derived carbon skeletons for growth. This combination provides the MTLC cultures with excellent conditions for growth that often exceeds that of the mere photoautotrophic growth at high CO2.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of hospital- and community-associated infections. The organism’s ability to cause disease can, in part, be attributable to its ability to adapt to otherwise deleterious host-associated stresses. Like other bacterial species, the modulation of mRNA turnover appears to play an important role in S. aureus adaptation to certain environmental stresses. In the current study Affymetrix GeneChips® were used to examine the S. aureus responses to acid and alkaline shock-inducing conditions and to assess whether stress dependent changes in mRNA turnover are likely to facilitate the organism’s ability to tolerate extreme pH challenge. Results indicate that S. aureus adapts to pH shock by eliciting responses expected of organisms coping with pH alteration, including neutralizing cellular internal pH, DNA repair, amino acid biosynthesis and virulence factor expression. Further, it was found that the cellular response to alkaline conditions elicits a transcriptional profile that is similar to that of stringent response induced cells. Consistent with that observation, we show that the activator of the stringent response, (p)ppGpp, levels are profoundly elevated during alkaline shock conditions. We also show that the mRNA turnover properties of acid or alkaline shocked cells significantly differ from that of cells grown at neutral pH. A comparison of the mRNA degradation properties of transcripts whose titers either increased or decreased in response to sudden pH change revealed that alterations in mRNA degradation may, in part, account for the changes in the mRNA levels of factors predicted to mediate pH tolerance. Finally, a set of small stable RNA molecules were induced in response to acid or alkaline shock conditions. As in other organisms, these molecules may mediate mRNA stability and adaptation to otherwise deleterious growth conditions. Staphylococcus aureus strain UAMS-1 was grown to exponential phase and either mock treated (pH maintained at 7.4) or subjected to acid (pH 4)- or alkaline (pH 10) conditions for 30 min. Next, 200 micrograms per ml of rifampicin were added to arrest transcript synthesis. RNA was extracted from cell suspensions at 0, 2.5, 5, 15, and 30 min post-transcriptional arrest, labeled and hybridized to S. aureus GeneChips. A comparison of 0 min samples allowed assessment of acid and alkaline shock responses. A comparison of 0 min to that of various post-transcriptional arrest RNA samples allowed assessment of the mRNA turnover properties of mock vs acid or alkaline shocked cells. Duplicates of each experimental condition and corresponding post-transcriptional arrest time point were used (biological replicates).

Project description:The model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was used for a systematic survey of differential expression with a focus on antisense (as)RNAs and non-coding (nc)RNAs. A microarray was constucted with on average 5 probes for each transcript known thus far, including ncRNAs and asRNAs. The resulting 20,431 individual probes are duplicated on the array (Agilent 4x44k custom array) representing a technical replicate. Hybridization of this array with total RNA isolated from cultures raised under different growth conditions identified transcripts from intergenic spacers and in antisense orientation to known genes (natural cis-asRNAs) with differential expression compared to control hybridizations. This shows the involvement of such transcripts in the regulation of adaptation to various stresses. 12 RNA hybridizations (1 control & 3 stress conditions, 3 times each)

Project description:The functional coupling of calcium-mediated signalling and alkaline tolerance has been demonstrated in multiple fungi. The applied relevance of such interplay extends most notably to fungal pathogens of man where the physiological pH of serum and tissues exerts considerable alkaline stress. Drugs targeting the calcium-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin, are potent antifungal agents but also perturb human calcineurin signalling, it has therefore been postulated that abrogation of fungal alkaline tolerance could offer a valuable therapeutic adjunct. To study the interdependency of pH- and calcium-mediated intracellular signalling in the major human fungal pathogen A. fumigatus, we examined the transcriptional response following exposure to 200 mM calcium chloride or alkaline pH (pH 8.0).
