Project description:Transcriptome of S. cerevisiae in shifts between glucose and maltose media with different re-growth conditions

Project description:Cells constantly adapt to environmental fluctuations. These physiological changes require time and therefore cause a lag phase during which the cells do not function optimally. Interestingly, past exposure to an environmental condition can shorten the time needed to adapt when the condition re-occurs, even in daughter cells that never directly encountered the initial condition. Here, we use the molecular toolbox of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to systematically unravel the molecular mechanism underlying such history-dependent behavior in transitions between glucose and maltose. In contrast to previous hypotheses, the behavior does not depend on persistence of proteins involved in metabolism of a specific sugar. Instead, presence of glucose induces a gradual decline in the cells' ability to activate respiration, which is needed to metabolize alternative carbon sources. These results reveal how trans-generational transitions in central carbon metabolism generate history-dependent behavior in yeast, and provide a mechanistic framework for similar phenomena in other cell types.

Project description:Managing tradeoffs through gene regulation is believed to maintain resilience of a microbial community in a fluctuating resource environment. To investigate this hypothesis we imposed a fluctuating environment that required the sulfate-reducing generalist Desulfovibrio vulgaris to manage tradeoffs associated with repeated ecologically-relevant shifts between retaining metabolic independence (active capacity for sulfate respiration) and becoming metabolically specialized to a mutualistic association with the hydrogen consuming Methanococcus maripaludis. Strikingly, the microbial community became progressively less proficient at restoring the environmentally-relevant physiological state after each perturbation. Most cultures collapsed within 3-7 shifts with only a few collapsing later. We demonstrate that the collapse was caused by conditional gene regulation, which drove precipitous decline in intracellular abundance of essential transcripts and proteins, imposing greater energetic burden of regulation to restore function in a fluctuating environment. The microbial community collapse was rescued by a single regulatory mutation that could then potentially serve as a stepping stone for further adaptive evolution in a variable resource environment. Co-culture strains of M. maripaludis wild type and either wild type or DVU0744::Tn5 mutant of D. vulgaris strains were grown anaerobically in replicates. Samples were transitioned between syntrophic and sulfate respiratory growth conditions at early log phases.

Project description:Managing tradeoffs through gene regulation is believed to be critical for the success of a generalist in a fluctuating resource environment. To investigate this hypothesis in depth, we imposed a fluctuating environment that required a representative community of the sulfate-reducing generalist Desulfovibrio vulgaris to manage tradeoffs associated with repeated ecologically-relevant shifts between retaining metabolic independence (active capacity for sulfate respiration) and becoming metabolically specialized to a mutualistic association with the hydrogen consuming Methanococcus maripaludis. Counterintuitively, the community rapidly collapsed and went extinct because extensive gene regulation during shifts drove precipitous decline in intracellular abundance of essential transcripts and proteins. We demonstrate that extensive gene regulation can be catastrophic for a generalist when resources fluctuate rapidly, and that the extinction phenomenon can be prevented by a single regulatory mutation that could then potentially serve as a stepping stone for further adaptive evolution in a variable resource environment. Two strains were profiled at early and mid-log phase of growth during Sulfate Respiration and Syntrophy, and after transition between them. 2 biological replicates, 24 samples

Project description:Cyanobacteria and plants experience daily diel light/dark growth. Respiration in the dark supports survival of the photosynthetic cells by oxidizing storage compound fixed during the day. Dark respiration thus significantly lowers the overall photosynthetic carbon yield. Optimal dark respiration could minimize carbon loss and improve overall photosynthetic carbon yield. However, it is unclear how photosynthetic organisms best allocate carbon resources at night for dark survival and preparation for the reinitiation of carbon fixation reactions upon light exposure. We show in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 that an integrative respiratory pathway in the dark helps allocate carbon resource for cell survival and preparation for photosynthesis reinitiation upon photoinduction. Optimization of dark respiration thus represents a unique strategy to enhance photosynthetic carbon yield and potential crop productivity.

Project description:Here we show that an unrestricted galactose diet in early life minimises pathology during replicative ageing in budding yeast, irrespective of diet later in life. Lifespan and average mother cell division rate are comparable between glucose and galactose diets, but markers of senescence and the progressive dysregulation of gene expression observed on glucose are minimal on galactose, showing these to be facets of ageing pathology rather than intrinsic parts of the replicative ageing process. Respiration on galactose is critical for minimising ageing pathology, and forced respiration during ageing on glucose by over-expression of Hap4 also has the same effect though only in a fraction of cells. This fraction maintains Hap4 activity to advanced age with low senescence and a youthful gene expression profile, whereas other cells in the same population that lose Hap4 activity undergo dramatic dysregulation of gene expression and accumulate aneuploid fragments of chromosome XII aneuploidy (ChrXIIr), which are tightly associated with ageing pathology.

Project description:Respiratory and catabolic genes are differentially distributed across microbial genomes. Thus, specific carbon sources may favor different respiratory processes. We profiled the influence of 94 carbon sources on the end products of nitrate respiration in microbial enrichment cultures from diverse terrestrial environments. We found that some carbon sources consistently favor dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA/nitrate ammonification) while other carbon sources favor nitrite accumulation or denitrification. For an enrichment culture from aquatic sediment, we sequenced the genomes of the most abundant strains, matched these genomes to 16S rDNA exact sequence variants (ESVs), and used 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing to track the differential enrichment of functionally distinct ESVs on different carbon sources. We found that changes in the abundances of strains with different genetic potentials for nitrite accumulation, DNRA or denitrification were correlated with the nitrite or ammonium concentrations in the enrichment cultures recovered on different carbon sources. Specifically, we found that either L-sorbose or D-cellobiose enriched for a Klebsiella nitrite accumulator, other sugars enriched for an Escherichia nitrate ammonifier, and citrate or formate enriched for a Pseudomonas denitrifier and a Sulfurospirillum nitrate ammonifier. Our results add important nuance to the current paradigm that higher concentrations of carbon will always favor DNRA over denitrification or nitrite accumulation, and we propose that, in some cases, carbon composition can be as important as carbon concentration in determining nitrate respiratory end products. Furthermore, our approach can be extended to other environments and metabolisms to characterize how selective parameters influence microbial community composition, gene content, and function.
