Summary Vibrio parahaemolyticus , the leading cause of seafood‐associated gastroenteritis worldwide, requires the two type‐III secretion systems (T3SS1 and T3SS2) and a thermostable direct hemolysin (encoded by tdh1 and tdh2 ) for full virulence. The tdh genes and the T3SS2 gene cluster constitute an 80 kb pathogenicity island known as Vp‐PAI located on the chromosome II. Expression of T3SS1 and Vp‐PAI is regulated in a quorum sensing (QS)‐dependent manner but its detailed mechanisms remain unknown. Herein, we show that three factors (QS regulators AphA and OpaR and an AraC‐type transcriptional regulator QsvR) form a complex regulatory network to control the expression of T3SS1 and Vp‐PAI genes. At low cell density (LCD), whereas Vp‐PAI expression is repressed, T3SS1 genes are induced by AphA, which directly binds (an operator region of) the exsBAD‐vscBCD operon. At high cell density (HCD), the bacterium turns off T3SS1 expression by replacing AphA with OpaR, triggering the induction of Vp‐PAI. Furthermore, QsvR binds to the regulatory regions of all the tested T3SS1 and Vp‐PAI genes to activate their transcription at HCD. Taken together, our data highlight how multiple QS regulators contribute to the pathogenicity of V. parahaemolyticus by precisely controlling the expression of major virulence determinants during different stages of growth.

Global importance of large‐diameter trees - James A. Lutz; Tucker J. Furniss; Daniel J. Johnson; Stuart J. Davies; David Allen; Alfonso Alonso; Kristina J.

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.

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.

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.

Identification of an iron permease, cFTR1, in cyanobacteria involved in the iron reduction/re‐oxidation uptake pathway - Ning Xu; Guo‐Wei Qiu; Wen‐Jing Lou; Zheng‐Ke Li; Hai‐Bo Jiang; Neil M. Price; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Cyanobacteria are globally important primary producers and abundant in many iron‐limited aquatic environments. The ways in which they take up iron are largely unknown, but reduction of Fe 3+ is an important step in the process. Here we report a special iron permease in Synechocystis , cFTR1, that is required for Fe 3+ uptake following Fe 2+ re‐oxidation. The expression of cFTR1 is induced by iron starvation, and a mutant lacking the gene is abnormally sensitive to iron starvation. The cFTR1 protein localizes to the plasma membrane and contains the iron‐binding motif “REXXE”. Point‐directed mutagenesis of the REXXE motif results in a sensitivity to Fe‐deficiency. Measurements of iron ( 55 Fe) uptake rate show that cFTR1 takes up Fe 3+ rather than Fe 2+ . The function of cFTR1 in Synechocystis could be genetically complemented by the iron permease, Ftr1p, of Saccharomyces cerevisiae , that is known to transport Fe 3+ produced by the oxidation of Fe 2+ via a multicopper oxidase. Unlike yeast Ftr1p, cyanobacterial cFTR1 probably obtains Fe 3+ primarily from the oxidation of Fe 2+ by oxygen. Growth assays show that the cFTR1 is required during oxygenic, photoautotrophic growth but not when oxygen production is inhibited during photoheterotrophic growth. In cyanobacteria, iron reduction/re‐oxidation uptake pathway may represent their adaptation to oxygenated environments.
