Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum belongs to the β-subclass of proteobacteria. It has recently been shown to be able to nodulate and fix nitrogen in symbiosis with several mimosoid and papillionoid legumes. In contrast to symbiosis of legumes with α-proteobacteria, very little is known about the molecular determinants underlying the successful establishment of this mutualistic relationship with β-proteobacteria. In this study, we analyzed RNA-seq data of free-living P. phymatum growing under nitrogen replete and limited conditions, the latter partially mimicking the situation in nitrogen deprived soils. Among the genes up-regulated under nitrogen limitation, we found genes involved in exopolysaccharide production and motility, two traits relevant for plant root infection. Next, RNA-seq data of P. phymatum grown under free-living conditions and from symbiotic root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) were generated and compared. Among the genes highly up-regulated during symbiosis, we identified an operon encoding a potential cytochrome o ubiquinol oxidase (Bphy_3646-49). Bean root nodules induced by a cyoB mutant strain showed reduced nitrogenase and nitrogen fixation abilities suggesting an important role of the cytochrome for respiration inside the nodule. Analysis of mutant strains for RNA polymerase transcription factor rpoN (σ54) and its activator NifA indicated that – similar to the situation in α-rhizobia – P. phymatum RpoN and NifA are key regulators during symbiosis with P. vulgaris.

Project description:RpoN (σ54) is the key sigma factor for the regulation of transcription of nitrogen fixation genes in diazotrophic bacteria, which include alpha- and beta-rhizobia. Our previous studies showed that a rpoN mutant of the beta-rhizobial strain Paraburkholderia phymatum formed root nodules on Phaseolus vulgaris that were unable to reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. In an effort to further characterize the RpoN regulon of P. phymatum, transcriptomics was combined with a powerful metabolomics approach. The metabolome of P. vulgaris root nodules infected by the P. phymatum rpoN Fix- mutant revealed statistically significant metabolic changes compared to wild-type Fix+ nodules, including reduced amounts of chorismate and elevated levels of flavonoids. A transcriptome analysis on Fix+ and Fix- nodules – combined with a search for RpoN binding sequences in promoter regions of regulated genes – confirmed the expected control of σ54 on nitrogen fixation genes in nodules. The transcriptomic data also identified additional target genes, whose differential expression was able to explain the observed metabolite changes in a numerous cases. Moreover, the genes encoding the two-component regulatory system NtrBC were downregulated in root nodules induced by the rpoN mutant and contained a putative RpoN binding motif in their promoter region, suggesting direct regulation. The construction and characterization of an ntrB mutant strain revealed impaired nitrogen assimilation in free-living conditions, as well as a noticeable symbiotic phenotype by forming less but heavier nodules on P. vulgaris roots.

Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum is a beta-proteobacterium, which lives in the soil and is able to enter nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with different legumes. The biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) process is of great ecological and agronomic importance. We previously showed that the expression of the key P. phymatum BNF enzyme – the nitrogenase –is regulated by the sigma factor σ54 (or RpoN) inside root nodules. This study focused on identifying the σ54 regulon of P. phymatum grown in nitrogen limited conditions using RNA-Sequencing. Among the genes significantly down-regulated in absence of σ54 we found those coding for a C4-dicarboxylate transport system (Bphy_0225-27), a flagellar biosynthesis cluster (Bphy_2926-64) and one of the two type 6 secretion system (T6SS-b) present in P. phymatum genome (Bphy_5978-97). Indeed, the σ54 mutant was unable to grow on C4 dicarboxylates (fumarate, malate and succinate) as the sole carbon source and was less motile compared to the wild-type strain. Both defects were complemented by adding rpoN in trans. Additionally, using reporter fusions we confirmed that T6SS-b expression is regulated by σ54. Finally, a σ54 mutant was less competitive than its parental strain against P. diazotrophica, suggesting a role of σ54 in controlling interbacterial competition.

Project description:Paraburkholderia phymatum STM815 is a nitrogen-fixing endosymbiont that forms root nodules on the agriculturally important Phaseolus vulgaris and other host plants. We previously showed that the nodules induced by a STM815 mutant of the gene encoding the master regulator of nitrogen fixation NifA showed no nitrogenase activity (Fix-) and increased in number compared to P. vul-garis plants infected with the wild-type strain. To further investigate the role of NifA during symbiosis, nodules from P. phymatum wild-type and nifA mutants were collected and analyzed by metabolomics and dual RNA-Sequencing, allowing us to investigate both host and symbiont transcriptome. Using this approach, several metabolites changes could be assigned to bacterial or plant responses. While the amount of the C4-dicarboxylic acid succinate and of several amino acids was lower in Fix- nodules, the level of indole-acetamide (IAM) and brassinosteroids increased in Fix- nodules. Transcriptome analysis identified P. phymatum genes involved in transport of C4-dicarboxylic acids, carbon metabolism, auxin metabolism and stress response to be differen-tially expressed in absence of NifA. Furthermore, P. vulgaris genes involved in autoregulation of nodulation (AON) are repressed in nodules in absence of NifA potentially explaining the hyper-nodulation phenotype of the nifA mutant. These results and additional validation experiments suggest that P. phymatum STM815 NifA is not only important to control expression of nitrogenase and related enzymes but is also involved in regulating its own auxin production and stress re-sponse. Finally, our data indicate that P. vulgaris does sanction the nifA nodules by depleting the local carbon allocation rather than by mounting a strong systemic immune response to the Fix- rhizobia.

Project description:RpoN (or σ54) is the key sigma factor for the regulation of transcription of nitrogen fixation genes in diazotrophic bacteria, which include α- and β-rhizobia. Our previous studies showed that an rpoN mutant of the β-rhizobial strain Paraburkholderia phymatum STM815T formed root nodules on Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Negro jamapa, which were unable to reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. In an effort to further characterize the RpoN regulon of P. phymatum, transcriptomics was combined with a powerful metabolomics approach. The metabolome of P. vulgaris root nodules infected by a P. phymatumrpoN Fix- mutant revealed statistically significant metabolic changes compared to wild-type Fix⁺ nodules, including reduced amounts of chorismate and elevated levels of flavonoids. A transcriptome analysis on Fix- and Fix⁺ nodules-combined with a search for RpoN binding sequences in promoter regions of regulated genes-confirmed the expected control of σ54 on nitrogen fixation genes in nodules. The transcriptomic data also allowed us to identify additional target genes, whose differential expression was able to explain the observed metabolite changes in numerous cases. Moreover, the genes encoding the two-component regulatory system NtrBC were downregulated in root nodules induced by the rpoN mutant, and contained a putative RpoN binding motif in their promoter region, suggesting direct regulation. The construction and characterization of an ntrB mutant strain revealed impaired nitrogen assimilation in free-living conditions, as well as a noticeable symbiotic phenotype, as fewer but heavier nodules were formed on P. vulgaris roots.

Project description:A transcriptome of Cluster II Frankia in nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with the host plant, Datisca glomerata, was obtained by Illumina sequencing and mapping to the corresponding published genome (NCBI Bioproject PRJNA46257). Major metabolic pathways detected in Cluster II Frankia in symbiosis with Datisca glomerata were comparable to those described as up-regulated in the Frankia alni-Alnus glutinosa symbiosis (N Alloisio et al, MPMI 23(5):593-607, 2010): nitrogenase biosynthesis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, respiratory-chain related functions, oxidation protection, and terpenoid biosynthesis. These functions are consistent with the primary activities of Frankia in root nodules, e.g. to carry out the energetically-demanding fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonium, and to maintain internal reducing conditions. Expression of genes coding for amino-acid biosynthetic pathways, including arginine as reported previously (AM Berry et al. Funct Plant Biol 38, 645–652, 2011) was detected. A striking difference from other Frankia strains, revealed in the transcriptome of the Cluster II Frankia in symbiosis, was the expression of homologs of rhizobial nodulation genes, nodA, nodB and nodC.
