Expression activation and functional analysis of HLA 3, a putative inorganic carbon transporter in C hlamydomonas reinhardtii

Summary The CO 2 concentrating mechanism (CCM) is a key component of the carbon assimilation strategy of aquatic microalgae. Induced by limiting CO 2 and tightly regulated, the CCM enables these microalgae to respond rapidly to varying environmental CO 2 supplies and to perform photosynthetic CO 2 assimilation in a cost‐effective way. A functional CCM in eukaryotic algae requires Rubisco sequestration, rapid interconversion between CO 2 and catalyzed by carbonic anhydrases (CAs), and active inorganic carbon (Ci) uptake. In the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii , a membrane protein HLA3 is proposed to be involved in active Ci uptake across the plasma membrane. In this study, we use an artificially designed transcription activator‐like effector ( dTALE ) to activate the expression of HLA3. The successful activation of HLA3 expression demonstrates dTALE as a promising tool for gene‐specific activation and investigation of gene function in Chlamydomonas . Activation of HLA3 expression in high CO 2 acclimated cells, where HLA3 is not expressed, resulted in increased Ci accumulation and Ci‐dependent photosynthetic O 2 evolution specifically in very low CO 2 concentrations, which confirms that HLA3 is indeed involved in Ci uptake, and suggests it is mainly associated with transport in very low CO 2 concentrations, conditions in which active CO 2 uptake is highly limited.

Hubbard Nonequilibrium Green’s Function Analysis of Photocurrent in Nitroazobenzene Molecular Junction

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of photoinduced current in molecular junctions consisting of monolayers of nitroazobenzene oligomers chemisorbed on carbon surfaces and illuminated by ultraviolet-visible light through a transparent electrode. Experimentally observed dependence of the photocurrent on light frequency, temperature, and monolayer thickness is analyzed within first-principles simulations employing the Hubbard nonequilibrium Green’s function diagrammatic technique. We reproduce qualitatively correct behavior and discuss mechanisms leading to the characteristic behavior of dark and photoinduced currents in response to changes in bias, frequency of radiation, temperature, and thickness of molecular layer.

Transfer function analysis of thermospheric perturbations

Applying perturbation theory, a spectral model in terms of vectors spherical harmonics (Legendre polynomials) is used to describe the short term thermospheric perturbations originating in the auroral regions. The source may be Joule heating, particle precipitation or ExB ion drift-momentum coupling. A multiconstituent atmosphere is considered, allowing for the collisional momentum exchange between species including Ar, O2, N2, O, He and H. The coupled equations of energy, mass and momentum conservation are solved simultaneously for the major species N2 and O. Applying homogeneous boundary conditions, the integration is carred out from the Earth's surface up to 700 km. In the analysis, the spherical harmonics are treated as eigenfunctions, assuming that the Earth's rotation (and prevailing circulation) do not significantly affect perturbations with periods which are typically much less than one day. Under these simplifying assumptions, and given a particular source distribution in the vertical, a two dimensional transfer function is constructed to describe the three dimensional response of the atmosphere. In the order of increasing horizontal wave numbers (order of polynomials), this transfer function reveals five components. To compile the transfer function, the numerical computations are very time consuming (about 100 hours on a VAX for one particular vertical source distribution). However, given the transfer function, the atmospheric response in space and time (using Fourier integral representation) can be constructed with a few seconds of a central processing unit. This model is applied in a case study of wind and temperature measurements on the Dynamics Explorer B, which show features characteristic of a ringlike excitation source in the auroral oval. The data can be interpreted as gravity waves which are focused (and amplified) in the polar region and then are reflected to propagate toward lower latitudes.

Towards Fully Secure 5G Ultra-Low Latency Communications: A Cost-Security Functions Analysis

Future components to enhance the basic, native security of 5G networks are either complex mechanisms whose impact in the requiring 5G communications are not considered, or lightweight solutions adapted to ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) but whose security properties remain under discussion. Although different 5G network slices may have different requirements, in general, both visions seem to fall short at provisioning secure URLLC in the future. In this work we address this challenge, by introducing cost-security functions as a method to evaluate the performance and adequacy of most developed and employed non-native enhanced security mechanisms in 5G networks. We categorize those new security components into different groups according to their purpose and deployment scope. We propose to analyze them in the context of existing 5G architectures using two different approaches. First, using model checking techniques, we will evaluate the probability of an attacker to be successful against each security solution. Second, using analytical models, we will analyze the impact of these security mechanisms in terms of delay, throughput consumption, and reliability. Finally, we will combine both approaches using stochastic cost-security functions and the PRISM model checker to create a global picture. Our results are first evidence of how a 5G network that covers and strengthened all security areas through enhanced, dedicated non-native mechanisms could only guarantee secure URLLC with a probability of ~55%.

Structure of Sulfuric Acid Solutions Using Pair Distribution Function Analysis

Solvation and mesoscale ordering of sulfuric acid and other strong acid solutions leads to suppressed freezing points and strong rheological changes with varying concentration. While the solid-state structures are well-understood, studies focused on the evolving solvation structure in the solution phase have probed a limited concentration range (~1–6 M). This study applies a total scattering approach in both the wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and pair distribution function (PDF) regimes to elucidate the evolving solvation structure over its full range of acid concentration (0–18 M). The emergence of a prepeak in the WAXS regime at intermediate concentrations indicates a transition from noninteracting sulfate molecules in the dilute limit to sterically limited sulfates at concentrations near its deep eutectic point. Fits to the PDF data quantify this trend, showing a transition from octahedrally hydrated sulfates up to 6–7 M concentrations, followed by gradual dehydration, and eventually reaching a solution structure similar to that of water-in-salt electrolyte systems at high acid concentrations.

Functional Analysis of H + -Pumping Membrane-Bound Pyrophosphatase, ADP-Glucose Synthase, and Pyruvate Phosphate Dikinase as Pyrophosphate Sources in Clostridium thermocellum

Increased understanding of the central metabolism of C. thermocellum is important from a fundamental as well as from a sustainability and industrial perspective. In addition to showing that H + -pumping membrane-bound PPase, glycogen cycling, a Ppdk–malate shunt cycle, and acetate cycling are not significant sources of PP i supply, this study adds functional annotation of four genes and availability of an updated PP i stoichiometry from biosynthesis to the scientific domain.

Electron diffraction radial distribution function analysis of amorphous boron carbide synthesized by ion beam irradiation and chemical vapor deposition

Amorphous boron carbide (a-BxC) networks consist of light elements, and their low atomic scattering factors makes structural analysis by x-ray diffraction difficult. Electron diffraction has an advantage of detecting the light elements, because of the strong interaction between the matter and electrons. In this work, we prepared a-BxC by ion beam technologies and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and characterized their structures via atomic pair-distribution functions derived from electron diffraction intensity profiles. It was found that a pentagonal pyramid is the most favorable cluster in a-B4C generated by ion irradiation, while C—C homonuclear bonds were formed in the deposited a-B x C thin film. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy revealed that the a-BxC thin film possesses more carbon than B 4 C, which is responsible for the formation of the homonuclear bonds.

Regulatory networks underlying mycorrhizal development delineated by genome-wide expression profiling and functional analysis of the transcription factor repertoire of the plant symbiotic fungus Laccaria bicolor

Background: Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi develop a mutualistic symbiotic interaction with the roots of their host plants. During this process, they undergo a series of developmental transitions from the running hyphae in the rhizosphere to the coenocytic hyphae forming finger-like structures within the root apoplastic space. These transitions, which involve profound, symbiosis-associated metabolic changes, also entail a substantial transcriptome reprogramming with coordinated waves of differentially expressed genes. To date, little is known about the key transcriptional regulators driving these changes, and the aim of the present study was to delineate and functionally characterize the transcription factor (TF) repertoire of the model ECM fungus Laccaria bicolor. Results: We curated the L. bicolor gene models coding for transcription factors and assessed their expression and regulation in Poplar and Douglas fir ectomycorrhizae. We identified 285 TFs, 191 of which share a significant similarity with known transcriptional regulators. Expression profiling of the corresponding transcripts identified TF-encoding fungal genes differentially expressed in the ECM root tips of both host plants. The L. bicolor core set of differentially expressed TFs consists of 12 and 22 genes that are, respectively, upregulated and downregulated in symbiotic tissues. These TFs resemble known fungal regulators involved in the control of fungal invasive growth, fungal cell wall integrity, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, invasive stress response and fruiting-body development. However, this core set of mycorrhiza-regulated TFs seems to be characteristic of L. bicolor and our data suggest that each mycorrhizal fungus has evolved its own set of ECM development regulators. A subset of the above TFs was functionally validated with the use of a heterologous, transcription activation assay in yeast, which also allowed the identification of previously unknown, transcriptionally active yet secreted polypeptides designated as Secreted Transcriptional Activator Proteins (STAPs). Conclusions: Transcriptional regulators required for ECM symbiosis development in L. bicolor have been uncovered and classified through genome-wide analysis. This study also identifies the STAPs as a new class of potential ECM effectors, highly expressed in mycorrhizae, which may be involved in the control of the symbiotic root transcriptome.

Advances and perspectives in discovery and functional analysis of small secreted proteins in plants

Small secreted proteins (SSPs) are less than 250 amino acids in length and are actively transported out of cells through conventional protein secretion pathways or unconventional protein secretion pathways. In plants, SSPs have been found to play important roles in various processes, including plant growth and development, plant response to abiotic and biotic stresses, and beneficial plant–microbe interactions. Over the past 10 years, substantial progress has been made in the identification and functional characterization of SSPs in several plant species relevant to agriculture, bioenergy, and horticulture. Yet, there are potentially a lot of SSPs that have not been discovered in plant genomes, which is largely due to limitations of existing computational algorithms. Recent advances in genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics research, as well as the development of new computational algorithms based on machine learning, provide unprecedented capabilities for genome-wide discovery of novel SSPs in plants. In this review, we summarize known SSPs and their functions in various plant species. Then we provide an update on the computational and experimental approaches that can be used to discover new SSPs. Finally, we discuss strategies for elucidating the biological functions of SSPs in plants.

Functional Analysis of Cellulose Synthase CesA4 and CesA6 Genes in Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) by Overexpression and RNAi-Mediated Gene Silencing

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a leading lignocellulosic bioenergy feedstock. Cellulose is a major component of the plant cell walls and the primary substrate for saccharification. Accessibility of cellulose to enzymatic breakdown into fermentable sugars is limited by the presence of lignin in the plant cell wall. In this study, putatively novel switchgrass secondary cell wall cellulose synthase PvCesA4 and primary cell wall PvCesA6 genes were identified and their functional role in cellulose synthesis and cell wall composition was examined by overexpression and knockdown of the individual genes in switchgrass. The endogenous expression of PvCesA4 and PvCesA6 genes varied among including roots, leaves, stem, and reproductive tissues. Increasing or decreasing PvCesA4 and PvCesA6 expression to extreme levels in the transgenic lines resulted in decreased biomass production. PvCesA6-overexpressing lines had reduced lignin content and syringyl/guaiacyl lignin monomer ratio accompanied by increased sugar release efficiency, suggesting an impact of PvCesA6 expression levels on lignin biosynthesis. Cellulose content and cellulose crystallinity were decreased, while xylan content was increased in PvCesA4 and PvCesA6 overexpression or knockdown lines. The increase in xylan content suggests that the amount of non-cellulosic cell wall polysaccharide was modified in these plants. Taken together, the results show that the manipulation of the cellulose synthase genes alters the cell wall composition and availability of cellulose as a bioprocessing substrate.

Fatty Acid and Alcohol Metabolism in Pseudomonas putida: Functional Analysis Using Random Barcode Transposon Sequencing.

With its ability to catabolize a wide variety of carbon sources and a growing engineering toolkit, Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is emerging as an important chassis organism for metabolic engineering. Despite advances in our understanding of the organism, many gaps remain in our knowledge of the genetic basis of its metabolic capabilities. The gaps are particularly noticeable in our understanding of both fatty acid and alcohol catabolism, where many paralogs putatively coding for similar enzymes coexist, making biochemical assignment via sequence homology difficult. To rapidly assign function to the enzymes responsible for these metabolisms, we leveraged random barcode transposon sequencing (RB-Tn-Seq). Global fitness analyses of transposon libraries grown on 13 fatty acids and 10 alcohols produced strong phenotypes for hundreds of genes. Fitness data from mutant pools grown on fatty acids of varying chain lengths indicated specific enzyme substrate preferences and enabled us to hypothesize that DUF1302/DUF1329 family proteins potentially function as esterases. From the data, we also postulate catabolic routes for the two biogasoline molecules isoprenol and isopentanol, which are catabolized via leucine metabolism after initial oxidation and activation with coenzyme A (CoA). Because fatty acids and alcohols may serve as both feedstocks and final products of metabolic-engineering efforts, the fitness data presented here will help guide future genomic modifications toward higher titers, rates, and yields. IMPORTANCE To engineer novel metabolic pathways into P. putida , a comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis of its versatile metabolism is essential. Here, we provide functional evidence for the putative roles of hundreds of genes involved in the fatty acid and alcohol metabolism of the bacterium. These data provide a framework facilitating precise genetic changes to prevent product degradation and to channel the flux of specific pathway intermediates as desired.

Functional Analysis of the Lippmann-Schwinger Equation for the Determination of the Pointwise Mechanical and Transformation Field Concentration Tensors in Heterogeneous Materials

In this work, the Lippmann-Schwinger (LS) equation, which represents the exact solution for the mechanical behavior of a heterogeneous material subjected to macrospically uniform thermo mechanical loading, is used to develop an exact, general, pointwise framework for how the macroscopic fields localize in terms of concentration tensors. Additionally, analytical relations between the different concentration tensors are obtained. Since, the LS equation represents the exact solution the resulting functional form and analytical relations between the concentration tensors should be matched by all micromechanical theories (either analytical or numerical).

Crystal structures and functional analysis of the ZnF5-WWE1-WWE2 region of PARP13/ZAP define a distinctive mode of engaging poly(ADP-ribose)

PARP13/ZAP (zinc-finger antiviral protein) acts against multiple viruses by promoting degradation of viral mRNA. PARP13 has four N-terminal zinc (Zn) fingers that bind CG-rich nucleotide sequences, a C-terminal ADP ribosyltransferase fold, and a central region with a fifth Zn finger and tandem WWE domains. The central PARP13 region, ZnF5-WWE1-WWE2, is implicated in binding poly(ADP-ribose); however, there are limited insights into its structure and function. We present crystal structures of ZnF5-WWE1-WWE2 from mouse PARP13 in complex with ADP-ribose and in complex with ATP. The crystal structures and binding studies demonstrate that WWE2 interacts with ADP-ribose and ATP, whereas WWE1 does not have a functional binding site. Binding studies with poly(ADP-ribose) ligands indicate that WWE2 serves as an anchor for preferential binding to the terminal end of poly(ADP-ribose) chains. The composite ZnF5-WWE1-WWE2 structure forms an extended surface to engage ADP-ribose chains, representing a distinctive mode of recognition that provides a framework for investigating the impact of poly(ADP-ribose) on PARP13 function.

Label-free functional analysis of root-associated microbes with dynamic quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy

The increasing global demand for food, coupled with concerns about the environmental impact of synthetic fertilizers, underscores the urgency of developing sustainable agricultural practices. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, known as diazotrophs, offer a potential solution by converting atmospheric nitrogen into bioavailable forms, reducing the reliance on synthetic fertilizers. However, a deeper understanding of their interactions with plants and other microbes is needed. In this study, we introduce a recently developed label-free 3D quantitative phase imaging technology called dynamic quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy (DqOBM) to assess the functional dynamic activity of diazotrophs in vitro and in situ. Our experiments involved three different diazotrophs (Sinorhizobium meliloti, Azotobacter vinelandii, and Rahnella aquatilis) cultured on media with amendments of carbon and nitrogen sources. Over 5 days, we observed increased dynamics in nutrient-amended media. These results suggest that the observed bacterial dynamics correlate with their metabolic activity. Furthermore, we applied qOBM to visualize microbial dynamics within the root cap and elongation zone of Arabidopsis thaliana primary roots. This allowed us to identify distinct areas of microbial infiltration in plant roots without the need for fluorescent markers. Our findings demonstrate that DqOBM can effectively characterize microbial dynamics and provide insights into plant-microbe interactions in situ, offering a valuable tool for advancing our understanding of sustainable agriculture.

Functional Analysis of Conserved Motifs in Influenza Virus PB1 Protein

The influenza virus RNA polymerase complex is a heterotrimer composed of the PB1, PB2, and PA subunits. PB1, the catalytic core and structural backbone of the polymerase, possesses four highly conserved amino acid motifs that are present among all viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. A previous study demonstrated the importance of several of these conserved amino acids in PB1 for influenza polymerase activity through mutational analysis. However, a small number of viruses isolated in nature possesses non-consensus amino acids in one of the four motifs, most of which have not been tested for their replicative ability. Here, we assessed the transcription/replication activities of 25 selected PB1 mutations found in natural isolates by using minireplicon assays in human and avian cells. Most of the mutations tested significantly reduced polymerase activity. One exception was mutation K480R, observed in several pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses, which slightly increased polymerase activity relative to wild-type. However, in the background of the pandemic A/California/04/2009 (H1N1) virus, this mutation did not affect virus titers in cell culture. Our results further demonstrate the functional importance of the four conserved PB1 motifs in influenza virus transcription/replication. The finding of natural isolates with non-consensus PB1 motifs that are nonfunctional in minireplicon assays suggests compensatory mutations and/or mixed infections which may have ‘rescued’ the inactive PB1 protein.

Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana for rapid functional analysis of genes involved in non‐photochemical quenching and carotenoid biosynthesis

Summary Plants must switch rapidly between light harvesting and photoprotection in response to environmental fluctuations in light intensity. This switch can lead to losses in absorbed energy usage, as photoprotective energy dissipation mechanisms can take minutes to hours to fully relax. One possible way to improve photosynthesis is to engineer these energy dissipation mechanisms (measured as non‐photochemical quenching of chlorophyll a fluorescence, NPQ ) to induce and relax more quickly, resulting in smaller losses under dynamic light conditions. Previous studies aimed at understanding the enzymes involved in the regulation of NPQ have relied primarily on labor‐intensive and time‐consuming generation of stable transgenic lines and mutant populations – approaches limited to organisms amenable to genetic manipulation and mapping. To enable rapid functional testing of NPQ ‐related genes from diverse organisms, we performed Agrobacterium tumefaciens ‐mediated transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana to test if NPQ kinetics could be modified in fully expanded leaves. By expressing Arabidopsis thaliana genes known to be involved in NPQ , we confirmed the viability of this method for studying dynamic photosynthetic processes. Subsequently, we used naturally occurring variation in photosystem II subunit S, a modulator of NPQ in plants, to explore how differences in amino acid sequence affect NPQ capacity and kinetics. Finally, we functionally characterized four predicted carotenoid biosynthesis genes from the marine algae Nannochloropsis oceanica and Thalassiosira pseudonana and examined the effect of their expression on NPQ in N. benthamiana . This method offers a powerful alternative to traditional gene characterization methods by providing a fast and easy platform for assessing gene function in planta .

Structure-function analysis of ribonucleotide bypass by B family DNA replicases

Ribonucleotides are frequently incorporated into DNA during replication, they are normally removed, and failure to remove them results in replication stress. This stress correlates with DNA polymerase (Pol) stalling during bypass of ribonucleotides in DNA templates. Here we demonstrate that stalling by yeast replicative Pols δ and ε increases as the number of consecutive template ribonucleotides increases from one to four. The homologous bacteriophage RB69 Pol also stalls during ribonucleotide bypass, with a pattern most similar to that of Pol ε. Crystal structures of an exonuclease-deficient variant of RB69 Pol corresponding to multiple steps in single ribonucleotide bypass reveal that increased stalling is associated with displacement of Tyr391 and an unpreferred C2´-endo conformation for the ribose. Even less efficient bypass of two consecutive ribonucleotides in DNA correlates with similar movements of Tyr391 and displacement of one of the ribonucleotides along with the primer-strand DNA backbone. These structure–function studies have implications for cellular signaling by ribonucleotides, and they may be relevant to replication stress in cells defective in ribonucleotide excision repair, including humans suffering from autoimmune disease associated with RNase H2 defects.

Comparative Genomics and Functional Analysis of Carbohydrate Utilization Networks in Unicyanobacterial Consortia Derived from Hypersaline Lake Microbial Mats

Hot Lake is a meromictic, hypersaline lake located in Washington state, USA. It harbors a phototrophic microbial mat community stable in dramatic seasonal environmental changes. The complexity of natural community hinders to analyze metabolic interactions between its members. To manage this obstacle, unicyanobacterial consortia (UCC) were sampled from the community and sequenced. UCC is a microbial community in which one cyanobacterium serves as the sole primary producer of carbon sources to several heterotrophic bacteria. Recently available metagenomes for two UCC revealed a shared set of 19 microbial operational taxonomic units (OTU), whose individual genomes were reconstructed by co‐assembly and abundance profile binning. We used this genomic data and a comparative genomics approach to infer carbohydrate utilization pathways and their transcription regulation. We scanned all UCC proteomes against the KEGG Orthology, Pfam, GO and SEED databases to reveal genes potentially involved in sugar utilization. Then we analyzed the genomic and functional contexts of gene loci encoding the obtained proteins and reconstructed the respective metabolic pathways and transcriptional regulons. As result, we observed catabolic pathways for 32 various carbohydrates and their derivatives. Distribution of the inferred catabolic pathways has highly mosaic structure across the UCC genomes. The largest number of pathways was observed in two representatives of the Halomonas genus (14–15 pathways) and one Rhodobacteriaceae sp. (15 pathways). In other UCC genomes, we found up to 10 carbohydrate utilization pathways per genome. However in 7 genomes we didn't observe any pathway. The most widely distributed pathways in UCC were the alpha‐glucosides and the DeLey‐Doudoroff galactose utilization pathways. Both were found in 7 genomes. Majority of pathways are distributed among 1–3 genomes. The reconstructed catabolic pathways were partially validated by phenotypic analyses of UCC community members that were isolated in a pure culture. In the Rhodobacteriaceae sp., we found a novel catabolic pathway that was proposed to be involved in mannoheptulose utilization. To our knowledge, the proposed mannoheptulose catabolic pathway is the first case of a pathway for heptose utilization and will require further experimental validation. The identified pathways are potentially regulated by local transcription factors (TFs) that are often co‐localized with the respective sugar catabolic gene loci. For 63 out of the 80 identified TFs we identified their cognate DNA binding motifs and reconstructed regulons using the bioinformatics approach.
