  1. Oxidative stress in seaweeds Jonas COLLÉN UMR 7139 –Catherine BOYENVégétaux marins et biomolécules Station Biologique de Roscoff

  2. Intertidal seaweeds and oxidative stress • The intertidal is harsh, dynamic, and non-predictable→ A high stress environment • Seawater can be depleted of CO2 and supersaturated with O2→Potential for high ROS production during photosynthesis • Seawater contains high concentrations of halides→Formation of reactive halogens, e.g. Br & I • Seawater can be both a source and a sink of ROS • Seaweeds lack roots, xylem/phloem, cuticle→High rate of desiccation and local phenomena • Reproductive structures are often photosynthetically active

  3. Three principal models Ectocarpus siliculosus Laminaria digitata Chondrus crispus

  4. Seaweeds and oxidative stress-principal present research areas • Stress physiology of Chondrus crispus • Glutathione S-transferases in red and brown algae • Roles of oxylipins in macroalgae • Osmotic stress in Ectocarpus siliculosus • Effects of heavy metals on brown algal physiology • Defense reactions in brown algae

  5. Clustering of HSPs Stress physiology of Chondrus crispus -a transcriptomic approach Stress genes

  6. Glutathione S-transferases in red and brown algae-seaweeds contain new classes Phylogeny A new class Protein production The GST, found in all organisms, are best known for their major roles in detoxification Species Source GSTsChondrus ESTs 3 Laminaria ESTs 4Ectocarpus ESTs + 15 genome Induction byH2O2, oxylipins, herbicides & metals

  7. Roles of oxylipins in macroalgae -mechanisms and signaling Laminaria digitata Chondrus crispus Abiotic and biotic stress (copper, endophytic alga) Genomic resources (ESTs genomes) Algal tissues Metabolite profiling Transcriptomic profiling Characterisation of enzymes Production of plant-like (C18) and animal-like (C20) oxygenated PUFA derivatives + new molecules? Integration of results Expected results - Verification of known oxylipins metabolic pathways - Identification of new enzymatic activities/oxylipins pathways - Regulation of the oxylipin pathways - Evolution of lipid signalling mechanisms in eukaryotes

  8. 0 mg 500 mg Effects of heavy metals on brown algal physiology-the example copper and Ectocarpus • Toxicology • Proteomics • Transcriptomics- Increased expression of HSP, GST, MSR, TRX • Lipidomics- Production of oxylipinsand free fatty acids 24h 300 Cu2+ µg/L

  9. Effects of heavy metals on brown algal physiology-the example copper and Ectocarpus 0 mg • Toxicology • Proteomics: 2D analysis • Transcriptomics- Increased expression of HSP, GST, methionine sulfoxide reductase, thioredoxin • Lipidomics- Biosynthesis of oxylipinsand free fatty acids release 500 mg 24h 300 Cu2+ µg/L

  10. Osmotic stress in Ectocarpus siliculosus-an integrative approach Ectocarpus High salinity Screening: photosynthesis& survival Sensitive and resistant mutants Mutagenesis Low salinity OSMOTIC S T R E S S Sequence data (ESTs, genome) Transcriptomics: microarray Physiology & metabolic profiling Candidate genes Intracellular osmolarity [Na+] and [K+] Targeted studies Integrative approach Osmolytes Amino acids Pigments Understanding of osmotic stress responses Photosynthesis

  11. Control Elicited Defense reactions in brown algae-Laminaria produces an oxidative burst after elicitation Grazers, microbes endophyte attack G-G-G-G-G- Cell wall damage Alginate degradation H2O2 release n (H2O2)/FW nmol/g Time (min)

  12. Defense reactions in brown algae-halogen metabolism in Laminaria Hours after elicitation 3 6 12 X- + H2O2 HPO XHO 2n variation Reactive halogens Halogenated compounds Haloperoxidases as anti-oxidant enzymes? Haloperoxidases provides potential antimicrobial compounds

  13. Perspectives • Genome of Ectocarpus • Genome sequenced (11x coverage) and assembled. • Genome of Chondrus • Pilot genome project started, 1.3x sequenced. New more powerful tools From gene and expression to structure and function
