Abstract

Abstract:

【Objective】 The analysis of Acidovorax citrulli (Ac) to copper stress on transcriptome level response characteristics is helpful to promote the study of copper resistance system and mechanism The results of this study have accumulated basic data for further analysis of the molecular mechanism of copper tolerance of Ac. 【Method】 The copper-resistant FC440 strain of subgroup I of Ac was cultured under copper stress and without copper stress.Then FC440 were collected for RNA-seq to analyze data quality, types of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), KEGG enrichment and Pathway annotation, GO enrichment analysis and other transcriptome features, and verify qPCR. 【Results】 The results showed that 6 FC440 transcriptomic libraries were obtained and total data size was 23.6 Gb; Gene expression analysis showed that the bacteria had 4,344 gene expressions and 466 DEGs were identified (266 up-regulated, 200 down-regulated) ; DEGs were significantly enriched in about 9 major pathways such as transmembrane transport of the ABC transport system, signal transduction of the two-component system pathway, and amino acid metabolism; qPCR analysis results showed that the gene expression trend was consistent with the trend of transcriptome sequencing data. 【Conclusion】 The amino acid metabolism of glutamate and glutathione under copper stress plays an important role in the resistance to copper stress of Ac; the two-component systems participate in the response of Ac to copper ion stress and is negatively affected.There may be anti-copper mechanisms in this bacteria including transmembrane transport of ABC transporters, redox reactions, and intracellular binding precipitation.

摘要：

【目的】 分析西瓜食酸菌(Acidovorax citrulli)在铜胁迫下转录水平的响应特征,研究对其抗铜系统和抗铜机制,为进一步解析西瓜食酸菌的铜耐受分子机制积累数据。【方法】 以西瓜食酸菌亚群I的抗铜菌株FC440铜胁迫和无胁迫培养下的菌体为材料,提取RNA并利用RNA-Seq技术获取细菌对铜胁迫的应答数据,分析数据质量、差异表达基因的类型、KEGG富集与Pathway注释、GO富集分析等转录组水平特征,并进行qPCR验证。【结果】 共获得6个转录组文库,总数据量23.6 Gb;该细菌共有4 344个基因表达,其中有466个基因差异表达(上调266个,下调200个);差异表达的基因显著富集于ABC转运系统的跨膜转运、双组分系统通路的信号转导以及氨基酸代谢等约9大通路;基因表达趋势与转录组测序数据的趋势一致。【结论】 铜胁迫下谷氨酸、谷胱甘肽等氨基酸代谢在西瓜食酸菌抗铜胁迫中发挥重要作用;双组分系统参与西瓜食酸菌对铜离子胁迫的响应且受到负调控;该菌中可能存在包含ABC转运体的跨膜转运、氧化还原反应、胞内束缚沉淀等多种系统互作的抗铜机制。
