Project description:The rate, timing, and mode of species dispersal is recognized as a key driver of the structure and function of communities of macroorganisms, and may be one ecological process that determines the diversity of microbiomes. Many previous studies have quantified the modes and mechanisms of bacterial motility using monocultures of a few model bacterial species. But most microbes live in multispecies microbial communities, where direct interactions between microbes may inhibit or facilitate dispersal through a number of physical (e.g., hydrodynamic) and biological (e.g., chemotaxis) mechanisms, which remain largely unexplored. Using cheese rinds as a model microbiome, we demonstrate that physical networks created by filamentous fungi can impact the extent of small-scale bacterial dispersal and can shape the composition of microbiomes. From the cheese rind of Saint Nectaire, we serendipitously observed the bacterium Serratia proteamaculans actively spreads on networks formed by the fungus Mucor. By experimentally recreating these pairwise interactions in the lab, we show that Serratia spreads on actively growing and previously established fungal networks. The extent of symbiotic dispersal is dependent on the fungal network: diffuse and fast-growing Mucor networks provide the greatest dispersal facilitation of the Serratia species, while dense and slow-growing Penicillium networks provide limited dispersal facilitation. Fungal-mediated dispersal occurs in closely related Serratia species isolated from other environments, suggesting that this bacterial-fungal interaction is widespread in nature. Both RNA-seq and transposon mutagenesis point to specific molecular mechanisms that play key roles in this bacterial-fungal interaction, including chitin utilization and flagellin biosynthesis. By manipulating the presence and type of fungal networks in multispecies communities, we provide the first evidence that fungal networks shape the composition of bacterial communities, with Mucor networks shifting experimental bacterial communities to complete dominance by motile Proteobacteria. Collectively, our work demonstrates that these strong biophysical interactions between bacterial and fungi can have community-level consequences and may be operating in many other microbiomes.

Project description:Fungal diseases are critical burdens on the global healthcare system, infecting over 25% of the world’s population. For the opportunistic fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, infection leads to cryptococcosis; a disease enabled by elaboration of sophisticated virulence factors, including polysaccharide capsule, melanin, thermotolerance, and extracellular enzymes in the presence of the host. Conversely, the host protects itself from fungal invasion by regulating and sequestering transition metals (e.g., iron, zinc, copper) important for microbial growth and survival. Building upon knowledge of zinc transport regulation at the transcriptional level, here, we explore the intricate relationship between zinc availability and fungal virulence via mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics. We observe distinct protein-level responses to zinc-limited and -excess conditions through a shift of the proteome profile towards stress response and metal acquisition, including the upregulation of the zinc transporter, ZIP1. In addition, we reveal a novel connection among zinc availability, protein folding, capsule production, and virulence through the detection of a Wos2-like ortholog in the secretome under replete conditions. Overall, we provide new biological insight into cellular remodeling at the protein level of C. neoformans under regulated zinc conditions and uncover a novel connection between zinc availability and fungal virulence. These findings support the development of new antifungal strategies focused on the enhancement of nutritional immunity within the host.

Project description:Purpose: To identify Fusarium wilt and salt-responsive miRNAs at genome wide level in Chickpea. Results: A total of 12,135,571 unique reads were obtained. In addition to 122 conserved miRNAs belonging to 25 different families, 59 novel miRNAs along with their star sequences were identified. Four legume specific miRNAs, miR5213, miR5232, miR2111 and miR2118 were found in all the libraries. The Poly (A) tailing assay based qRT-PCR was used to validate eleven conserved and five novel miRNAs. miR530 was highly up regulated in response to fungal infection and targets zinc knuckle and microtubule-associated proteins. Many miRNAs responded in a similar fashion under both biotic and abiotic stresses indicating a cross talk between the pathways involved in regulating these stresses. The potential target genes for the conserved and novel miRNAs were predicted based on sequence homology. miR166 targets a HD-ZIPIII transcription factor and was validated by 5’ RLM-RACE. Conclusions: The present study has led to identification of several conserved and novel miRNAs in chickpea associated with gene regulation in reference to wilt and salt stress conditions. This study will help in better understanding of how chickpea functions in response to stresses.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a complex multisystem developmental disorder caused by mutations in cohesin subunits and regulators. While the precise molecular mechanisms are not well defined, they point toward a global deregulation of the transcriptional gene expression program. Indeed, cohesin is associated with the boundaries of chromosome domains in addition to enhancers and promoters connecting the 3D genome organization with transcriptional control and gene expression. Here we show that connected gene communities, built with noncoding regulatory elements and genes physically interacting in the 3D chromosomal space, provide a molecular explanation for the pathoetiology of CdLS. Indeed, NIPBL and cohesin are important constituents of connected gene communities, both being centrally positioned at active noncoding regulatory elements. Interestingly, mutations in SMC1A and NIPBL lead to coordinated gene expression changes in connected communities. Our findings suggest a model where CdLS is explained by coordinated modulation of connected gene communities.

Project description:A functional biodiversity microarray (EcoChip) prototype has been developed to facilitate the analysis of fungal communities in environmental samples with broad functional and phylogenetic coverage and to enable the incorporation of nucleic acid sequence data as they become available from large-scale (next generation) sequencing projects. A dual probe set (DPS) was designed to detect a) functional enzyme transcripts at conserved protein sites and b) phylogenetic barcoding transcripts at ITS regions present in precursor rRNA. Deviating from the concept of GeoChip-type microarrays, the presented EcoChip microarray phylogenetic information was obtained using a dedicated set of barcoding microarray probes, whereas functional gene expression was analyzed by conserved domain-specific probes. By unlinking these two target groups, the shortage of broad sequence information of functional enzyme-coding genes in environmental communities became less important. The novel EcoChip microarray could be successfully applied to identify specific degradation activities in environmental samples at considerably high phylogenetic resolution. Reproducible and unbiased microarray signals could be obtained with chemically labeled total RNA preparations, thus avoiding the use of enzymatic labeling steps. ITS precursor rRNA was detected for the first time in a microarray experiment, which confirms the applicability of the EcoChip concept to selectively quantify the transcriptionally active part of fungal communities at high phylogenetic resolution. In addition, the chosen microarray platform facilitates the conducting of experiments with high sample throughput in almost any molecular biology laboratory. In this study, two independent RNA samples from a pine forest soil were labelled and hybridised to a custom-made EcoChip microarray consisting of about 9000 probes targeting expressed fungals genes and about 5000 probes targeting the precursor-rRNA of different fungal lineages

Project description:Rationale: Recent studies suggest a potential link between gut bacterial microbiota dysbiosis and PAH, but the exact role of gut microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, in PAH remains unclear. Objectives: To investigate the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and to assess the therapeutic potential of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in modulating PAH progression. Methods: Using shotgun metagenomics, we analyzed gut microbial communities in IPAH patients and healthy controls. FMT was performed to transfer gut microbiota from IPAH patients or MCT-PAH rats to normal rats and from healthy rats to MCT-PAH rats. Hemodynamic measurements, echocardiography, histological examination, metabolomic and RNA-seq analysis were conducted to evaluate the effects of FMT on PAH phenotypes. Measurements and Main Results: Gut microbiota analysis revealed significant alterations in the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in IPAH patients compared to healthy controls. FMT from IPAH patients induced PAH phenotypes in recipient rats. Conversely, FMT from healthy rats to IPAH rats significantly ameliorated PAH symptoms, restored gut microbiota composition, and normalized serum metabolite profiles. Specific microbial species were identified with high diagnostic potential for IPAH, improving predictive performance beyond individual or combined microbial communities. Conclusions: This study establishes a causal link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and IPAH and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of FMT in reversing PAH phenotypes. The findings highlight the critical role of bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in PAH pathogenesis and suggest that modulation of the gut microbiome could be a promising treatment strategy for PAH.
