Title Three acyltransferases and a nitrogen responsive regulator are implicated in nitrogen starvation-induced triacylglycerol accumulation in Chlamydomonas
Organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Three acyltransferases, DGAT1, DGTT1, and PDAT1, are induced by nitrogen starvation and are likely to have a role in TAG accumulation based on their patterns of expression. Each gene also shows increased mRNA abundance in other TAG-accumulating conditions (-S, -P, -Zn, -Fe). Insertional mutants, pdat1-1 and pdat1-2, accumulate 25% less TAG compared to the parent strain, D66+, which demonstrates the relevance of the trans-acylation pathway in Chlamydomonas. The biochemical functions of DGTT1 and PDAT1 were validated by rescue of oleic acid sensitivity and restoration of TAG accumulation in a yeast strain lacking all acyltransferase activity. Time course analysis suggest than an SBP domain transcription factor protein, whose mRNA increases precede that of other genes like DGAT1, is a candidate regulator of the N-deficiency response. An insertional mutant, nrr1-1, accumulates only 50% of the TAG compared to the parental strain in N-starvation conditions and is unaffected by other nutrient stresses, suggesting the operation of multiple signaling pathways leading to stress-induced TAG accumulation.
