FDX5 deletion affects metabolism of algae during the different phases of S-deprivation
Abstract
Ferredoxin5 (FDX5), a minor ferredoxin protein in the alga, Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), helps maintain thylakoid membrane integrity in the dark. Sulfur (S) deprivation has been used to achieve prolonged hydrogen production in green algae. Here, we propose that FDX5 is involved in algal responses to sulfur-deprivation as well as to the dark. Specifically, we tested the role of FDX5 in both the initial aerobic and subsequent anaerobic phases of S-deprivation. Under S-deprived conditions, absence of FDX5 causes a distinct delay in achieving anoxia by affecting photosynthetic O2 evolution, accompanied by reduced acetate uptake, lower starch accumulation, and delayed/lower fermentative metabolite production, including photohydrogen. We attribute these differences to transcriptional and/or post-translational regulation of acetyl-CoA synthetase and ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, and increased stability of the Photosystem II D1 protein. Interestingly, increased levels of Ferredoxin2 and Ferredoxin1 were observed in the mutant under oxic, S-replete conditions, strengthening our previously proposed hypothesis that other ferredoxins compensate in response to a lack of FDX5. Taken together, the results of our omics and pull-down experiments confirmed biochemical and physiological results, suggesting that FDX5 may have other effects on Chlamydomonas metabolism through its interaction with multiple redox partners.
