Salinity Levels

Salinity is one of the significant factors that affect growth and cellular metabolism, including photosynthesis and lipid accumulation, in microalgae and higher plants. Microchloropsis gaditana CCMP526 can acclimatize to different salinity levels by accumulating compatible solutes, carbohydrates, and lipids as an energy storage molecule. We used proteomics to understand the molecular basis for acclimation of M. gaditana to increased salinity levels (55 and 100 PSU (Practical Salinity Unit). Correspondence analysis (CA) was used for the identification of salinity-responsive proteins (SRPs). The highest number of altered proteins was observed in 100 PSU. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed a separate path of acclimation for cells exposed to 55 and 100 PSU. Osmolyte and lipid biosynthesis was up-regulated in high saline conditions. However, concomitantly lipid oxidation pathways were also up-regulated at high saline conditions, providing acetyl-CoA for energy metabolism through the TCA cycle. Carbon fixation and photosynthesis were tightly regulated, while chlorophyll biosynthesis was affected under high salinity conditions. Importantly, temporal proteome analysis of salinity-challenged M. gaditana revealed vital salinity-responsive proteins which could be used for strain engineering for improved salinity resistance.

Specific Step

ABSTRACT HEMA encodes glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR), which catalyzes the first step specific for tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in plants, archaea, and most eubacteria. In higher plants, GluTR is feedback inhibited by heme and intermediates of chlorophyll biosynthesis. It plays a key role in controlling flux through the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme, which in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is encoded by a single gene (HEMA), exhibits homology to GluTRs of higher plants and cyanobacteria. HEMA mRNA accumulation was inducible not only by light but also by treatment of dark-adapted cells with Mg-protoporphyrin IX (MgProto) or hemin. The specificity of these tetrapyrroles as inducers was demonstrated by the absence of induction observed upon the feeding of protoporphyrin IX, the precursor of both heme and MgProto, or chlorophyllide. The HEMA mRNA accumulation following treatment of cells with light and hemin was accompanied by increased amounts of GluTR. However, the feeding of MgProto did not suggest a role for Mg-tetrapyrroles in posttranscriptional regulation. The induction by light but not that by the tetrapyrroles was prevented by inhibition of cytoplasmic protein synthesis. Since MgProto is synthesized exclusively in plastids and heme is synthesized in plastids and mitochondria, the data suggest a role of these compounds as organellar signals that control expression of the nuclear HEMA gene.
