Proteomic profiling of Ruegeria in response to coral tissue extract

ABSTRACT: Probiotic applications show great potential for coral restoration, though conventional probiotics may form only transient associations with hosts. A proof-of-concept study revealed that Ruegeria MC10, an evolutionarily endosymbiont lineage, could persistently colonize coral tissue and enhance host health throughout an 8-month field experiment. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying successful symbiosis, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis of three Ruegeria strains – the MC10 representative MC10-B4 and two coral-derived counterpart, MC0-A5 and MC15-BG7 - in response to metabolites from the coral Acropora pruinosa. Following 4-hour exposures to coral tissue extracts or autoclaved 0.22 μm-filtered seawater (AFSW) controls at 28°C during exponential phase, we performed comprehensive protein characterization by LC-MS/MS. Differential protein expression profiles revealed strain-specific adaptations.

Project description:Upon infection, viruses remodel host cells to create an environment hospitable to viral replication. In response, host cells have evolved to sense infection and rapidly induce pathways to limit viral replication. One strategy used by both players is to regulate the host cell proteome for their benefit. To characterize these changes, we used a mass spectrometry strategy to define alterations in the viral and host proteome during infection of human cells with West Nile virus (WNV). Our studies reveal previously uncharacterized post-translational modifications (PTMs) on viral proteins, including phosphorylation sites on the WNV nonstructural proteins, NS3 and NS5, that impact viral RNA replication. Additionally, we monitored changes in host protein abundance and found that while 82 proteins had increased expression upon WNV infection, only five of these are canonical interferon stimulated genes (ISGs). Our data suggests that the majority of the upregulated non-ISGs are regulated at the translational, rather than transcriptional level, defining a new group of virus-induced proteins (VIPs). HERPUD1 is a stress-response protein that was induced at both the transcriptional and translational level. We show HERPUD1 restricts WNV replication, likely through a mechanism independent of its previously defined role in ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Our phosphoproteomics studies revealed eight phosphorylation sites on viral proteins, including a site on the WNV helicase/protease NS3 that is important for viral replication. Further, we identified XXX phosphorylation sites on host proteins with increased abundance and XXX sites with decreased abundance during WNV infection. We used bioinformatics to identify phosphosites predicted to increase host protein activity and found two antiviral host kinases that are activated by phosphorylation during WNV infection. First, we identified a phosphorylation site at S108 of AMPKβ1, a non-catalytic subunit that is thought to regulate activity of the AMPK complex. We also found that a group I p21-activated kinase, PAK2, is phosphorylated at S141. This phosphorylation event in the autoinhibitory domain activates PAK2, which restricts viral protein translation. Altogether, our work contributes to our understanding of the interplay between host and virus while providing a resource to define the changes to the proteome that regulate viral infection.

Project description:The potential to adapt to a changing climate depends in part upon the standing genetic variation present in wild populations. In corals, the dispersive larval phase is particularly vulnerable to the effects of environmental stress. Larval survival and response to stress during dispersal and settlement will play a key role in the persistence of coral populations. To test the hypothesis that larval transcription profiles reflect population specific responses to thermal stress, symbiont-free gametes of the scleractinian coral Montastraea faveolata were collected from Florida and Mexico and raised under normal and elevated temperatures. These populations have been shown to exchange larvae frequently enough to prevent significant differentiation of neutral loci. Differences among thousands of genes were simultaneously characterized using microarrays, allowing investigation of gene expression patterns among wild populations under stressful environmental conditions. Results show site-specific signatures of gene expression in larvae of a reef-building coral from different parts of its range (despite low genetic divergence), and reveal both local and general components of stress response during later stages of larval development. These results provide evidence of site-specific variation in the face of gene flow, which may represent functional genetic variation in different subpopulations, and support the idea that coral host genomes may indeed house the adaptive potential needed to deal with changing environmental conditions. The experimental setup followed a reference design, i.e. all samples were hybridized against the same pool made up of equal amounts of RNA from all samples collected in Mexico. For samples from Mexico we used three technical replicates for each treatment temperature, for samples from Florida three biological replicates were used for each treatment temperature, except for the high temperature samples at day two where only two replicates were available due to high larval mortality at that temperature. Common reference samples were labeled with Cy3, temperature treatment samples with Cy5. Microarrays for M. faveolata contained 1,314 coding sequences, of which 43% had functional annotations as determined by homology to known genes.
