Factors regulating carbon sinks in mangrove ecosystems - Shi‐Bo Li; Po‐Hung Chen; Jih‐Sheng Huang; Mei‐Li Hsueh; Li‐Yung Hsieh; Chen‐Lu Lee; Hsing‐Juh Lin (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Mangroves are recognized as one of the richest carbon storage systems. However, the factors regulating carbon sinks in mangrove ecosystems are still unclear, particularly in the subtropical mangroves. The biomass, production, litterfall, detrital export and decomposition of the dominant mangrove vegetation in subtropical ( Kandelia obovata ) and tropical ( Avicennia marina ) Taiwan were quantified from October 2011 to July 2014 to construct the carbon budgets. Despite the different tree species, a principal component analysis revealed the site or environmental conditions had a greater influence than the tree species on the carbon processes. For both species, the net production (NP) rates ranged from 10.86 to 27.64 Mg C ha −1 year −1 and were higher than the global average rate due to the high tree density. While most of the litterfall remained on the ground, a high percentage (72%–91%) of the ground litter decomposed within 1 year and fluxed out of the mangroves. However, human activities might cause a carbon flux into the mangroves and a lower NP rate. The rates of the organic carbon export and soil heterotrophic respiration were greater than the global mean values and those at other locations. Only a small percentage (3%–12%) of the NP was stored in the sediment. The carbon burial rates were much lower than the global average rate due to their faster decomposition, indicating that decomposition played a critical role in determining the burial rate in the sediment. The summation of the organic and inorganic carbon fluxes and soil heterotrophic respiration well exceeded the amount of litter decomposition, indicating an additional source of organic carbon that was unaccounted for by decomposition in the sediment. Sediment‐stable isotope analyses further suggest that the trapping of organic matter from upstream rivers or adjacent waters contributed more to the mangrove carbon sinks than the actual production of the mangrove trees.

Autophagy‐related gene BbATG11 is indispensable for pexophagy and mitophagy, and contributes to stress response, conidiation and virulence in the insect mycopathogen Beauveria bassiana - Jin‐Li Ding; Yue‐Jin Peng; Xin‐Ling Chu; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Autophagy is a conserved degradation system in eukaryotic cells that includes non‐selective and selective processes. Selective autophagy functions as a selective degradation mechanism for specific substrates in which autophagy‐related protein 11 (ATG11) acts as an essential scaffold protein. In B. bassiana , there is a unique ATG11 family protein, which is designated as BbATG11 . Disruption of BbATG11 resulted in significantly reduced conidial germination under starvation stress. The mutant Δ BbATG11 displayed enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress and impaired asexual reproduction. The conidial yield was reduced by approximately 75%, and this defective phenotype could be repressed by increasing exogenous nutrients. The virulence of the Δ BbATG11 mutant strain was significantly impaired as indicated in topical and intra‐hemocoel injection bioassays, with a greater reduction in topical infection. Notably, BbATG11 was involved in pexophagy and mitophagy, but these two autophagic processes appeared in different fungal physiological aspects. Both pexophagy and mitophagy were associated with nutrient shift, starvation stress and growth in the host hemocoel, but only pexophagy appeared in both oxidation‐stressed cells and aerial mycelia. This study highlights that BbATG11 mediates pexophagy and mitophagy in B. bassiana and links selective autophagy to the fungal stress response, conidiation and virulence.

Global importance of large‐diameter trees - James A. Lutz; Tucker J. Furniss; Daniel J. Johnson; Stuart J. Davies; David Allen; Alfonso Alonso; Kristina J. Anderson‐Teixeira; Ana Andrade; Jennifer Baltzer; Kendall M. L. Becker; Erika M. Blomdahl; Norman A. Bourg; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century. Major taxa studied Woody plants. Methods We examined the contribution of large trees to forest density, richness and biomass using a global network of 48 large (from 2 to 60 ha) forest plots representing 5,601,473 stems across 9,298 species and 210 plant families. This contribution was assessed using three metrics: the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), all trees ≥ 60 cm DBH, and those rank‐ordered largest trees that cumulatively comprise 50% of forest biomass. Results Averaged across these 48 forest plots, the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm DBH comprised 50% of aboveground live biomass, with hectare‐scale standard deviation of 26%. Trees ≥ 60 cm DBH comprised 41% of aboveground live tree biomass. The size of the largest trees correlated with total forest biomass ( r 2 = .62, p r 2 = .45, p r 2 = .33, p r 2 = .17, p = .002). The concentration of biomass in the largest 1% of trees declined with increasing absolute latitude ( r 2 = .46, p r 2 = .31, p r 2 = .26, p Main conclusions Because large‐diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling. We recommend managing forests for conservation of existing large‐diameter trees or those that can soon reach large diameters as a simple way to conserve and potentially enhance ecosystem services.

The key gluconeogenic gene PCK1 is crucial for virulence of Botrytis cinerea via initiating its conidial germination and host penetration - Jian‐Kang Liu; Hao‐Wu Chang; Yue Liu; Yu (Haity) Qin; Yu‐Han Ding; Lan Wang; Yue Zhao; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Sheng‐Nan Cao; Le‐Tao Li; Wei Liu; Gui‐Hua Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The process of initiation of host invasion and survival of some foliar phytopathogenic fungi in the absence of external nutrients on host leaf surfaces remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that gluconeogenesis plays an important role in the process and nutrient‐starvation adaptation before the pathogen host invasion. Deletion of phosphoenolpyruvate c arboxy k inase gene BcPCK1 in gluconeogenesis in Botrytis cinerea , the causative agent of grey mould, resulted in the failure of the Δ Bcpck1 mutant conidia to germinate on hard and hydrophobic surface and penetrate host cells in the absence of glucose, reduction in conidiation and slow conidium germination in a nutrient‐rich medium. The wild‐type and Δ Bcpck1 conidia germinate similarly in the presence of glucose (higher concentration) as the sole carbon source. Conidial glucose‐content should reach a threshold level to initiate germination and host penetration. Infection structure formation by the mutants displayed a glucose‐dependent fashion, which corresponded to the mutant virulence reduction. Exogenous glucose or complementation of BcPCK1 completely rescued all the developmental and virulence defects of the mutants. Our findings demonstrate that BcPCK1 plays a crucial role in B. cinerea pathogenic growth and virulence, and provide new insights into gluconeogenesis mediating pathogenesis of plant fungal pathogens via initiation of conidial germination and host penetration.

The pre‐rRNA processing factor Nop53 regulates fungal development and pathogenesis via mediating production of reactive oxygen species - Sheng‐Nan Cao; Ye Yuan; Yu (Haity) Qin; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Paul de Figueiredo; Gui‐Hua Li; Qing‐Ming Qin (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic plant fungal pathogen that annually causes enormous economic losses worldwide. The ribosome is an organelle for cellular protein biosynthesis. However, little is known about how the ribosome operates as a machine to mediate microbial pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that Nop53, a late‐acting factor for 60S ribosomal subunit maturation, is crucial for the pathogen's development and virulence. BcNop53 is functionally equivalent to yeast nop53p. Complementation of BcNOP53 completely restored the growth defect of the yeast Δ nop53 mutant. BcNop53 is located in nuclei and disruption of BcNOP53 also dramatically impaired pathogen growth. Deletion of BcNOP53 blocked infection structure formation and abolished virulence of the pathogen, possibly due to reduced production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, loss of BcNOP53 impaired pathogen conidiation and stress adaptation, altered conidial and sclerotial morphology, retarded conidium and sclerotium germination as well as reduced the activities of cell‐wall degradation‐associated enzymes. Sclerotium production was, however, increased. Complementation with the wild‐type BcNOP53 allele rescued defects found in the Δ Bcnop53 mutant. Our work establishes a systematic elucidation of Nop53 in regulating microbial development and pathogenesis, provides novel insights into ribosomal processes that regulate fungal pathogenesis, and may open up new targets for addressing fungal diseases.

Summary The small‐molecule sunscreen compounds, mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs), have strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption and can protect cyanobacteria against UV‐B damage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying UV‐B signaling and MAA chemical diversity remain largely unclear. Here, we identified a five‐gene cluster for MAA biosynthesis in the solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme . A LuxR family protein OrrA was identified as a positive UV‐B responsive regulator binding to the promoter region of this gene cluster. OrrA functions as an activator mediating the UV‐B induced MAA biosynthesis. Overexpression of orrA strengthened its UV‐B tolerance during desiccation, and enhanced the photosynthetic recovery upon rehydration. Heterologous expression of this gene cluster in Anabaena PCC 7120 produces the same MAA as that in field samples of N . flagelliforme . The MAA structure is assigned as mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine) with a molecular weight of 756 Da, the structurally unique MAA compound reported to date. This MAA was catalyzed by mysD‐mysC2‐mysC1 encoding proteins from 4‐deoxygadusol, which was synthesized through the catalysis of mysA‐mysB products. Thus, we elucidated the transcriptional mechanism for a novel type MAA biosynthesis in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria, which shed light on the identification of other components for UV‐B signaling in cyanobacteria.

Transcriptomic insights into the alternative splicing‐mediated adaptation of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana to host niches: autophagy‐related gene 8 as an example - Wei‐Xia Dong; Jin‐Li Ding; Yang Gao; Yue‐Jin Peng; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Alternative splicing (AS) regulates various biological processes in fungi by extending the cellular proteome. However, comprehensive studies investigating AS in entomopathogenic fungi are lacking. Based on transcriptome data obtained via dual RNA‐seq, the first overview of AS events was developed for Beauveria bassiana growing in an insect haemocoel. The AS was demonstrated for 556 of 8840 expressed genes, accounting for 5.4% of the total genes in B. bassiana . Intron retention was the most abundant type of AS, accounting for 87.1% of all splicing events and exon skipping events were rare, only accounting for 2.0% of all events. Functional distribution analysis indicated an association between alternatively spliced genes and several physiological processes. Notably, B. bassiana autophagy‐related gene 8 ( BbATG8 ), an indispensable gene for autophagy, was spliced at an alternative 5′ splice site to generate two transcripts ( BbATG8‐α and BbATG8‐β ). The BbATG8‐α transcript was necessary for fungal autophagy and oxidation tolerance, while the BbATG8‐β transcript was not. These two transcripts differentially contributed to the formation of conidia or blastospores as well as fungal virulence. Thus, AS acts as a powerful post‐transcriptional regulatory strategy in insect mycopathogens and significantly mediates fungal transcriptional adaption to host niches.

Cystatin SN (CST1) belongs to the type 2 cystatin (CST) superfamily, which restricts the proteolytic activities of cysteine proteases. CST1 has been recently considered to be involved in the development of several human cancers. However, the prognostic significance and function of CST1 in breast cancer remains unknown. In the current study, we found that CST1 was generally upregulated in breast cancer at both mRNA and protein level. Furthermore, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in the low CST1 expression subgroup were significantly superior to the high CST1 expression subgroup (OS, p < 0.001; DFS, p < 0.001), which indicated that CST1 expression level was closely correlated to the survival risk of these patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that CST1 expression was an independent prognostic factor, the same as ER status and nodal status. Next, CST1 overexpression promoted breast cancer cell proliferation, clonogenicity, migration, and invasion abilities. By contrast, knockdown of CST1 attenuated these malignant characteristics in breast cancer cells. Collectively, our study indicates that CST1 cannot only serve as a significant prognostic indicator but also as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. Key messages High CST1 expression is negatively correlated with survival of breast cancer patients. CST1 promotes cell proliferation, clone formation, and metastasis in breast cancer cells. CST1 is a novel potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer.

Land‐cover change has long been recognized as having marked effect on the amount of soil organic carbon ( SOC ). However, the microbially mediated processes and mechanisms on SOC are still unclear. In this study, the soil samples in a degenerative succession from alpine meadow to alpine steppe meadow in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau were analysed using high‐throughput technologies, including Illumina sequencing and geochip functional gene arrays. The soil microbial community structure and diversity were significantly ( p p SOC and nutrients medicated by changing soil microbial community structure and their functional potentials for carbon decomposition.

Molecular adaptation in the world's deepest‐living animal: Insights from transcriptome sequencing of the hadal amphipod Hirondellea gigas - Yi Lan; Jin Sun; Renmao Tian; Douglas H.

The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in the oceans of our planet. Understanding how animals adapt to this harsh environment characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, food limitation, dark and cold is of great scientific interest. Of the animals dwelling in the Challenger Deep, amphipods have been captured using baited traps. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptome of the amphipod Hirondellea gigas collected at a depth of 10,929 m from the East Pond of the Challenger Deep. Assembly of these sequences resulted in 133,041 contigs and 22,046 translated proteins. Functional annotation of these contigs was made using the go and kegg databases. Comparison of these translated proteins with those of four shallow‐water amphipods revealed 10,731 gene families, of which 5659 were single‐copy orthologs. Base substitution analysis on these single‐copy orthologs showed that 62 genes are positively selected in H. gigas , including genes related to β‐alanine biosynthesis, energy metabolism and genetic information processing. For multiple‐copy orthologous genes, gene family expansion analysis revealed that cold‐inducible proteins (i.e., transcription factors II A and transcription elongation factor 1) as well as zinc finger domains are expanded in H. gigas . Overall, our results indicate that genetic adaptation to the hadal environment by H. gigas may be mediated by both gene family expansion and amino acid substitutions of specific proteins.

Two eisosome proteins play opposite roles in autophagic control and sustain cell integrity, function and pathogenicity in Beauveria bassiana - Long‐Bin Zhang; Li Tang; Sheng‐Hua Ying; Ming‐Guang Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Pil1A and Pil1B are two core eisosome proteins that are homologous to yeast Pil1/Lsp1 or filamentous fungal Pil1A/Pil1B but have been unexplored in entomopathogenic fungi. Here we examined subcellular localization and functions of Pil1A and Pil1B in Beauveria bassiana , a fungal insect pathogen. Either localization or co‐localization experiments of the two proteins demonstrated that Pil1A and Pil1B were simultaneously localized at the periphery of hyphal cells for formation of stable, punctuate spots in B. bassiana . This is different from a reliance of proper Lsp1/Pil1B localization upon Pil1/Pil1A in other fungi. Deletions of pil1A and pil1B caused opposite changes in expression of many autophagy‐related genes and formation of intravacuolar autophagosomes. Such opposite changes were restored to nearly normal status by exogenous rapamycin, implicating a link of Pil1A/B to the target of rapamycin signalling pathway. All single/double deletion mutants of pil1A and pil1B lost almost all pathogenicity due to reduced ability to secrete Pr1 proteases for cuticle degradation. They also showed differential changes in cell wall integrity and multiple stress responses. These findings unveil opposite roles for Pil1A and Pil1B in autophagic regulation and an essentiality of both for cell integrity, function and pathogenicity of the fungal entomopathogen.

Summary Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of phylogenetically and physiologically diverse Gram‐negative bacteria that synthesize intracellular magnetic crystals named magnetosomes. MTB are affiliated with three classes of Proteobacteria phylum, Nitrospirae phylum, Omnitrophica phylum and probably with the candidate phylum Latescibacteria. The evolutionary origin and physiological diversity of MTB compared with other bacterial taxonomic groups remain to be illustrated. Here, we analysed the genome of the marine magneto‐ovoid strain MO‐1 and found that it is closely related to Magnetococcus marinus MC‐1. Detailed analyses of the ribosomal proteins and whole proteomes of 390 genomes reveal that, among the Proteobacteria analysed, only MO‐1 and MC‐1 have coding sequences (CDSs) with a similarly high proportion of origins from Alphaproteobacteria , Betaproteobacteria , Deltaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria . Interestingly, a comparative metabolic network analysis with anoxic network enzymes from sequenced MTB and non‐MTB successfully allows the eventual prediction of an organism with a metabolic profile compatible for magnetosome production. Altogether, our genomic analysis reveals multiple origins of MO‐1 and M. marinus MC‐1 genomes and suggests a metabolism‐restriction model for explaining whether a bacterium could become an MTB upon acquisition of magnetosome encoding genes.
