Title: Phosphoproteome of the Oleaginous Green Alga, Chlorella vulgaris UTEX 395, under Nitrogen-Replete and -Deplete Conditions

Journal Article · · Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

The unicellular green alga, Chlorella vulgaris UTEX 395, represents a promising biocatalyst for renewable biofuel production due to its relatively rapid growth rate and high lipid accumulation capacity (Guarnieri et al., 2011, 2012; Gerken et al., 2013; Griffiths et al., 2014; Zuniga et al., 2016). Prior analyses have unveiled the global proteome dynamics of C. vulgaris following nitrogen depletion, which induces a high lipid accumulation phenotype (Guarnieri et al., 2011, 2013). More recently, we have reported a draft genome, genome-scale model, and nitrosoproteome for this alga (Zuniga et al., 2016; Henard et al., 2017)1 providing further insight into lipid biosynthetic-, nutrient response-, and post-transcriptional-regulatory mechanisms. To further our understanding of these regulatory mechanisms and expand the knowledge base surrounding this organism, comparative phosphoproteomic analyses were conducted under nitrogen-replete and -deplete conditions to identify differentially phosphorylated proteins that will aid in the evaluation of the potential role of phosphoregulation in lipogenesis.
