Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a conserved nucleoside modification that regulates many facets of RNA metabolism and cellular physiology. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we find that the universally conserved tandem adenosines at the 3’ end of 18S rRNA (A1781 and A1782 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which were thought to be constitutively di-methylated (i.e. N6, N6-dimethyladenosine or m62A), are also mono-methylated (i.e. m6A). Although present at substoichiometric amounts, m6A at these positions increases significantly and specifically in response to sulfur starvation in both yeast and mammalian cells. Combining yeast genetics and ribosome-profiling, we further demonstrate that ribosomes bearing different numbers of methyl groups (zero, one, and two) at these tandem adenosines exhibit distinct translation profiles in a sulfur-dependent fashion. Our work thus reveals methylation multiplicity as a mechanism to regulate translation and also uncovers the functional importance of the ubiquitous m62A modification in 18S rRNA.

Project description:Chlorobaculum tepidum is an anaerobic green sulfur bacterium which oxidizes sulfide, elemental sulfur, and thiosulfate for photosynthetic growth. It can also oxidize sulfide to produce extracellular S0 globules, which can be further oxidized to sulfate and used as an electron donor. Here we performed label free quantitative proteomics on total cell lysates prepared from different metabolic states, including a sulfur production state (10 hours post incubation, PI), the beginning of sulfur consumption (20 hours PI) and the end of sulfur consumption (40 hours PI), respectively. We observed an increased abundance of the sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase Sqr proteins in 20PI indicated a sulfur production state. The periplasmic thiosulfate-oxidizing Sox enzymes and the dissimilatory sulfite reductase Dsr subunits showed an increased abundance in 20PI, corresponding to the sulfur-consuming state. In addition, we found that the abundance of the heterodisulfide-reductase and the sulfhydrogenase operons was influenced of electron donor availability and may be associated with sulfur metabolism. Further, we isolated and analyzed the extracellular sulfur globules in the different metabolic states in order to study their morphology and the sulfur cluster composition, yielding 58 previously uncharacterized proteins in purified globules. Our results show that Cba tepidum regulates the cellular levels of enzymes involved in sulfur metabolism in response to the availability of reduced sulfur compounds.

Project description:The existence of light in various deep-sea environments has been well established. Our previous research found blue light promotes zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) production in Erythrobacter flavus 21-3, a bacterium isolated from the deep-sea cold seep. E. flavus 21-3 can convert thiosulfate to ZVS through a novel thiosulfate oxidation pathway comprising a thiosulfate dehydrogenase (TsdA) and two thiosulfohydrolases (SoxB). Using proteomic analysis, bacterial two-hybrid system and heterologous expression assays, we found that infrared light also promotes zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) production in E. flavus 21-3. The bacteriophytochrome (bphp) Ef2bphp-15570 autophosphorylated and activated GGDEF domain-containing protein D0Y83_RS00450 to produce c-di-GMP. Subsequently, the PilZ protein mPilZ-1753 bound to c-di-GMP and activated downstream sulfur oxidation pathways. During this process, polyphosphate kinase 2 (PPK2) affects the content of c-di-GMP by competing for GTP, thereby together c-di-GMP regulating ZVS production, as well as other metabolic processes in E. flavus 21-3. This study provides a novel insight into a deep-sea non-photosynthetic bacterium which sensing infrared light to regulate sulfur metabolism through a bacteriophytochrome photoreceptor, thus offering new understandings perspectives on microbial utilization of light energy.

Project description:Responses of photosynthetic organisms to sulfur starvation include (i) increasing the capacity of the cell for transporting and/or assimilating exogenous sulfate, (ii) restructuring cellular features to conserve sulfur resources, and (iii) modulating metabolic processes and rates of cell growth and division. We used microarray analyses to obtain a genome-level view of changes in mRNA abundances in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii during sulfur starvation. The work confirms and extends upon previous findings showing that sulfur deprivation elicits changes in levels of transcripts for proteins that help scavenge sulfate and economize on the use of sulfur resources. Changes in levels of transcripts encoding members of the light-harvesting polypeptide family, such as LhcSR2, suggest restructuring of the photosynthetic apparatus during sulfur deprivation. There are also significant changes in levels of transcripts encoding enzymes involved in metabolic processes (e.g., carbon metabolism), intracellular proteolysis, and the amelioration of oxidative damage; a marked and sustained increase in mRNAs for a putative vanadium chloroperoxidase and a peroxiredoxin may help prolong survival of C. reinhardtii during sulfur deprivation. Furthermore, many of the sulfur stress-regulated transcripts (encoding polypeptides associated with sulfate uptake and assimilation, oxidative stress, and photosynthetic function) are not properly regulated in the sac1 mutant of C. reinhardtii, a strain that dies much more rapidly than parental cells during sulfur deprivation. Interestingly, sulfur stress elicits dramatic changes in levels of transcripts encoding putative chloroplast-localized chaperones in the sac1 mutant but not in the parental strain. These results suggest various strategies used by photosynthetic organisms during acclimation to nutrient-limited growth.

Project description:Dissimilatory sulfate reduction (DSR) mediated by sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRMs) plays a pivotal role in global sulfur, carbon, oxygen, and iron cycles since ~3.5 billion years ago. The canonical DSR pathway is believed to be sulfate reduction to sulfide. Herein, we report a new DSR pathway in phylogenetically diverse SRMs through which zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) is directly generated. We identified that approximately 8.9% of sulfate reduction was directed toward ZVS with S8 as a predominant product, and the ratio of sulfate-to-ZVS could be changed with SRMs’ growth conditions, particularly the medium salinity. Further coculturing experiments and metadata analyses revealed that DSR-derived ZVS supported the growth of various ZVS-metabolizing microorganisms, highlighting this new pathway as an essential component of the sulfur biogeochemical cycle

Project description:The purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum DSM 180T is one of the best studied sulfur-oxidizing anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria and has been developed into a model organism for laboratory-based studies of oxidative sulfur metabolism. Here, we took advantage of the organism’s high metabolic versatility and performed whole-genome transcriptional profiling to investigate the response of A. vinosum cells upon exposure to sulfide, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur or sulfite as compared to photoorganoheterotrophic growth on malate. Differential expression (at least twofold) of 1149 genes was observed, corresponding to 30% of the A. vinosum genome. A total of 549 genes were identified for which relative transcription increased at least twofold during growth on one of the different sulfur sources while relative transcription of 599 genes decreased. A significant number of genes that were strongly induced have documented sulfur-metabolism-related functions. Among these are the dsr genes including dsrAB for dissimilatory sulfite reductase and the sgp genes for the proteins of the sulfur globule envelope thus confirming former results. In addition we were able to identify new genes encoding proteins with appropriate subcellular localization and properties to participate in oxidative dissimilatory sulfur metabolism. Two of these were chosen for inactivation and phenotypic analyses of the respective mutant strains. This approach verified the importance of the encoded proteins for the oxidation of sulfide and thereby also documented the suitability of comparative transcriptomics for the identification of new sulfur-related genes in anoxygenic phototrophic sulfur bacteria.
