Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying ethanol action we have developed an assay system to study sensitivity and fast and chronic tolerance to the sedative effects of ethanol. Flies developed fast ethanol tolerance after single exposure to 50% of ethanol vapor for 40 min. Flies can also develope chronic ethanol tolerance after 5x 40 min exposure to 50% ethanol vapor interspersed with 4x 80 min exposure to 10% ethanol vapor. We used microarray analysis to identify genes involved in the development of fast and chronic ethanol tolerance in Drosophila. More than 600 hundred genes were found to have changed their expression level in response to different ethanol treatment. Among these genes, Homer was picked for further study and is demonstrated that its expression in ellipsoid body is critical for the normal sensitivity and fast toleance to ethanol.

Project description:Increased ethanol intake, a major predictor for the development of alcohol use disorders, is facilitated by the development of tolerance to both the aversive and pleasurable effects of the drug. The molecular mechanisms underlying ethanol tolerance development are complex and are not yet well understood. To identify genetic mechanisms that contribute to ethanol tolerance, we examined the time course of gene expression changes elicited by a single sedating dose of ethanol in Drosophila.

Project description:Cellular tolerance toward ethanol is a complex phenotype involved many genes, and hard to be improved by manipulating individual genes. We previously established exogenous global regulator IrrE mutants that confer Escherichia coli with significantly enhanced tolerance to stresses, including ethanol. In order to elucidate the mechanism for enhancement of ethanol tolerance in the mutants and to identify new genes and pathways that can be possible targets for engineering of ethanol tolerance, we carried out comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses with the representative strains E1 and E0 (harboring the ethanol-tolerant mutant E1 of IrrE and the wild type IrrE, respectively). The data from transcriptome analyses were deposited here.

Project description:To improve ethanol production directly from CO2 in photosynthetic cyanobacterial systems, one key issue that needs to be addressed is the low ethanol tolerance of cyanobacterial cells. Our previous proteomic and transcriptomic analyses found that several regulatory proteins were up regulated by exogenous ethanol in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In this study, through tolerance analysis of the gene disruption mutants of the up-regulated regulatory genes, we uncovered that one transcriptional regulator, Sll0794, was related directly to ethanol tolerance in Synechocystis. Using a quantitative iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS proteomics approach coupled with quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR), we further determined the possible regulatory network of Sll0794. The proteomic analysis showed that in the ∆sll0794 mutant grown under ethanol stress a total of 54 and 87 unique proteins were down- and up-regulated, respectively. In addition, electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) demonstrated that the Sll0794 transcriptional regulator was able to bind directly to the upstream regions of sll1514, slr1512 and slr1838, which encode a 16.6 kDa small heat shock protein, a putative sodium-dependent bicarbonate transporter and a carbon dioxide concentrating mechanism protein CcmK, respectively. The study provided a proteomic description of the putative ethanol-tolerance network regulated by the sll0794 gene, and revealed new insights on the ethanol-tolerance regulatory mechanism in Synechocystis. As the first regulatory protein discovered related to ethanol tolerance, the gene may serve as a valuable target for transcription machinery engineering to further improve ethanol tolerance in Synechocystis.

Project description:Paralogous variants of canonical histones guide accessibility to DNA and function as additional layers of genome regulation. Across eukaryotes, the mechanism of action and functional significance of several variants of core histones are well known except those of histone H4. Here we show that a variant of H4 (H4.V) expressing tissue-specifically among Oryza members mediated specific epigenetic changes contributing to salt tolerance. H4.V was incorporated into specific heterochromatic sites, where it blocked the deposition of active histone marks. Stress-dependent redistribution of H4.V enabled the incorporation of acetylated H4 lysine 5 (H4K5ac) in the gene bodies. The misexpression of H4.V led to defects in reproductive development and in mounting salt stress responses. H4.V formed homotypic nucleosomes and mediated these alterations by conferring distinct molecular properties to the nucleosomes, as seen with cryo electron microscopy structures and biochemical assays. These results reveal not only an H4 variant among plants but also a chromatin regulation that might have contributed to the adaptation of semi-aquatic Oryza members.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms of ethanol toxicity and tolerance in bacteria, while important for biotechnology and bioenergy applications, remain incompletely understood. Genetic studies have identified potential cellular targets for ethanol and revealed multiple mechanisms of tolerance, but it remains difficult to separate direct and indirect effects of ethanol. We used adaptive evolution to generate spontaneous ethanol-tolerant strains of Escherichia coli, then characterized the mechanisms of toxicity and resistance associated with select mutations. Evolved alleles of metJ, rho, and rpsQ were sufficient to recapitulate much of the observed ethanol tolerance, implicating translation and transcription as key processes affected by ethanol. We found that ethanol induces mistranslation errors during protein synthesis, and that the evolved rpsQ allele protects cells by rendering the ribosome hyper-accurate. Ribosome profiling and RNAseq analyses of the ethanol-tolerant strain versus the wild type established that ethanol negatively affects transcriptional and translational processivity. Ethanol-stressed cells exhibited ribosomal stalling at internal AUG codons, which may be ameliorated by the adaptive inactivation of the MetJ repressor of methionine biosynthesis genes. Ethanol also caused aberrant intragenic transcription termination for mRNAs with low ribosome density, which was reduced in a strain with the adaptive rho mutation. Furthermore, ethanol inhibited transcript elongation by RNA polymerase in vitro. We propose that ethanol-induced inhibition and uncoupling of mRNA and protein synthesis are major contributors to ethanol toxicity in E. coli, and that adaptive mutations in metJ, rho, and rpsQ protect central dogma processes in the presence of ethanol.

Project description:Background: Growth in the global population and industrial activities has increased world energy consumption. Bioethanol is considered as an alternative renewable energy source. Among various ethanol-producing microbes, Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 has received special attention due to its higher ethanol yield and tolerance. Advances in genetic engineering are particularly important for developing microorganisms with improved ethanol production. However, the variety of factors involved in the response to high concentrations of ethanol makes it difficult to devise genetic engineering strategies to generate alcohol tolerant strains. For a better understanding of the ethanol tolerance phenomenon, we obtained and characterized two Z. mobilis ZM4 mutants (ER79ap and ER79ag) with increased ethanol tolerance. Results: Mutants were obtained using a strain adaptive evolution method in mini-fermentors and sequential transfers to higher ethanol concentrations. Mutations were identified by Illumina genomic sequencing. Strain ER79ap possesses three point mutations in the following genes: SpoT/RelA, which synthesizes and degrades the alarmone ppGpp; clpB, encoding a disgregase; and clpP, a component of the Clp protease. In contrast, strain ER79ag has four mutations in the subsequent genes: spoT/relA; rimO; clpP; and in a gene encoding a hypothetical protein with a CBS domain. Transcript profiles of ZM4 and ER79ap were obtained with microarray analysis and identified 126 genes in ZM4 and 148 genes in ER79ap that were differentially expressed in response to ethanol. Conclusions: Both mutants carry mutations in clpP and relA/spoT genes, suggesting that these genes are responsible of their enhanced ethanol tolerance. Transcript profile analysis of the ZM4 and ER79ap showed that they share a set of forty genes that are differentially expressed under ethanol stress and this set may correspond to those that are crucial for the ethanol response. The expression profiles indicate that ethanol induces a major reprograming of transcription that involves changes in the cell membrane, protein synthesis, and in some metabolic pathways, especially those involved in the amino acid metabolism. Our data suggest that clpP and in particular the relA/spoT gene can be targets for bioengineering ethanol tolerance.
