Computational inference and experimental validation of the nitrogen assimilation regulatory network in cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH 8102

Abstract: Deciphering the regulatory networks encoded in the genome of an organism represents one of the most interesting and challenging tasks in the post-genome sequencing era. As an example of this problem, we have predicted a detailed model for the nitrogen assimilation network in cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH 8102 (WH8102) using a computational protocol based on comparative genomics analysis and mining experimental data from related organisms that are relatively well studied. This computational model is in ex… Show more

“…Cell culture and growth All Synechococcus isolates used in the study were grown in synthetic ocean water-based medium with 13.4 μM Na 2 EDTA.2H 2 O, 87.6 μM K 2 HPO 4 , 96.8 μM Na 2 CO 3 and 9 mM NaNO 3 (Morel et al, 1979;Su et al, 2006). Cultures were grown at 18°C and 22°C under constant illumination of 20 μmol photons m −2 s − 1 and agitation at 100 r.p.m.…”

“…strain WH7803 is inactivated by insertion of a kanamycin resistance gene (228). Approximately 17 to 54 NtcA targets were identified using bioinformatic approaches in single-genome and cross-genome analyses (276,278). DNA microarray data indicate that 18 to 81 genes were upregulated in Prochlorococcus sp.…”

“…Many of the NtcA targets in Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are genes or operons that encode the acquisition of alternative N sources (276,278), and global expression of these genes is largely consistent with NtcA action (22,147,149,296). Interestingly, the genes encoding assimilation pathways for the main N sources other than ammonium are confined to an approximately 60-kb conserved region of the Synechococcus genome (Fig.…”

“…Whole genome microarrays have thus far been applied for marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus spp. (Palenik et al, 2003(Palenik et al, , 2006Su et al, 2006) and recently a DMSP degrading Proteobacterium Silicibacter pomeroy from the Roseobacter clade (Burgmann et al, 2007). Genome data and analyses of several marine microbes have been published, including the uncultivated marine Archaeon Cenarchaeum symbiosum , the anoxygenic anaerobic phototrophic Proteobacterium Roseobacter denitrificans (Swingley et al, 2007), the cyanobacterial diazotroph Crocosphaera watsonii , and a marine planctomycete Pirellula sp.…”
