ABSTRACT

28

Nutrient starvation is an important survival challenge for bacteria during industrial

29

production of functional foods. As next-generation sequencing technology has greatly

30

advanced, we performed proteomic and genomic analysis to investigate the response

31

of Lactobacillus casei Zhang to a glucose-restricted environment. L. casei Zhang

32

strains were permitted to evolve in glucose-restricted or normal medium from a

33

common ancestor over a 3-year period, and they were sampled at 1000, 2000, 3000,

34

4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000 generations and subjected to proteomic and

35

genomic analyses. Genomic resequencing data revealed different point mutations and

36

other mutational events in each selected generation of L. casei Zhang under glucose

37

restriction stress. The differentially expressed proteins induced by glucose restriction

38

were mostly related to fructose and mannose metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic

39

processes, lyase activity, and amino acid-transporting ATPase activity. Integrative

40

proteomic and genomic analysis revealed that the mutations protected L. casei Zhang

41

against glucose starvation by regulating other cellular carbohydrate, fatty acid, and

42

amino acid catabolism; phosphoenolpyruvate system pathway activation; glycogen

43

synthesis; ATP consumption; pyruvate metabolism; and general stress response

44

protein expression. The results help reveal the mechanisms of adapting to glucose

45

starvation and provide new strategies for enhancing the industrial utility of L.

46

casei Zhang.

INTRODUCTION

52

Probiotics, including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, are of increasing interest

53

because of their health benefits, and they represent an important growth area in the

54

functional food industry.1, 2 However, probiotic lactobacilli encounter various stresses

55

during industrial processing. Among various environmental stresses, nutrient

56

starvation represents an important survival challenge.3 This stressful environmental

57

change causes growth retardation in lactobacilli or prompts them to enter the

58

stationary growth phase.4 Nutrient starvation in lactobacilli may result from nutrient

59

consumption for growth or indirect energy loss in some extreme environmental

60

conditions.5 Nutrient starvation stress can induce probiotic lactobacilli to activate a

61

comprehensive and complex stress response involving various metabolic pathways.6

62

Therefore, it is necessary to study the molecular mechanism by which probiotic

63

lactobacilli adapt to the stressful environmental conditions of nutrient starvation.

64

Studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to nutrient

65

starvation stress generally focus on a single nutrient as a stress factor, such as carbon

66

(glucose), phosphate, ornitrogen sources.7, 8 Redon et al. explored the progressive

67

adaptation of Lactococcus lactis to carbon starvation using transcriptome analysis and

68

revealed that 67 genes were transiently induced at the onset of carbon starvation or

69

during the deceleration phase.9 In addition, some of these differentially regulated

70

Lactococcus lactis genes were functionally related to glucose exhaustion, including

71

the induction of the arginine deiminase pathway as well as alternative sugar transport

72

and metabolic pathways.9 Recently, Butorac et al. used de novo sequencing in

73

positive and negative mass spectrometry ion modes to investigate the adaptation of

74

Lactobacillus brevis to nutrient deprivation and found that numerous proteins engaged

75

in glucose and amino acid catabolism were differentially expressed after long-term

76

starvation; however, genomic analysis was not performed in this study.10

77

L. casei Zhang, a strain isolated from koumiss samples collected from Inner

78

Mongolia, China, has been considered a probiotic bacterium via selection tests.11-13 A

79

proteomic study to identify proteins expressed by L. casei Zhang in the exponential

80

and stationary phases revealed that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly

81

categorized as the key components of central and intermediary metabolism.14

82

Considerable research has focused on the response of L. casei Zhang to acid stress.11,

83

15-17

84

L. casei Zhang in low pH conditions and highlighted the protective mechanisms of

85

aspartate in the acid resistance of L. casei Zhang.15 However, little is known about the

86

molecular mechanisms by which L. casei Zhang adapts to nutrient starvation.

For instance, Zhang et al. employed adaptive evolution to generate acid-resistant

87

In this study, we used integrative proteomic and genomic analysis to investigate

88

the response of L. casei Zhang to a glucose-restricted environment. Tandem mass tag

89

(TMT)-based quantitative proteomic analysis and whole-genome resequencing were

90

performed to study the adaptive evolution process over a 3-year period. The results

91

may lay a solid theoretical foundation for screening stress-resistant L. casei Zhang

92

and provide the necessary theoretical guidance for the optimization and improvement

93

of industrial processes involving the bacterium.

Experimental design

96

Proteomic profiling of L. casei Zhang evolved in glucose-limited medium

97

(medium L) or normal medium (medium N) was performed on day 1 and after 1000,

98

2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000 generations, with each selected

99

generation containing three biological replicates. The day 1 expression profiles

100

(Ancestor-N-P1 or Ancestor-L-P1) were used as the baseline profiles for each evolved

101

population. TMT quantitative proteomics analysis was performed using a

102

high-resolution mass spectrometer. Data screening was performed with a false

162

(CNV) analysis. Structure variation (SV) analysis was performed using breakdancer

163

(version: v1.4.5; parameters, default parameter). The SV types included deletion,

164

insertion, inversion, intrachromosomal translocation, interchromosomal translocation,

165

and unknown. The corresponding genes of missense mutations were subjected to

Protein extraction and digestion

168

The proteomic profiles of L. casei Zhang evolved in glucose-limited medium

169

(medium L) or normal medium (medium N) were determined on day 1 and after 1000,

170

2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000 generations of growth. The day 1

171

expression profiles (Ancestor-N-P1 or Ancestor-L-P1) were used as the baseline

172

profiles for each evolved population.

173

For proteomic analysis, L. casei Zhang samples were lysed using SDT lysis

174

buffer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After centrifugation for 15 min at

175

14,000 ×g at 25°C, the sample supernatant was collected. Next, the protein

183

of growth in medium N or medium L were independently prepared three

184

biological replicates per generation. The digested samples were individually labeled

185

with TMT reagents according to the manufacturer’s protocols. One hundred

186

microgram of sample was labeled with a TMT tag dissolved in acetonitrile. The

187

labeled peptide mixtures were then fractionated using high-pH reversed-phase

188

chromatography, and 10 fractions were collected. The fractions were desalted and

189

lyophilized to dryness.

190

LC-MS/MS

191

LC-MS/MS analysis was performed using the UltiMate 3000 Nano LC System

192

(Thermo Fisher Scientific) coupled to a Q-Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap

193

mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a nanoelectrospray ionization

194

source. The Orbitrap mass spectrometer was operated in a data-dependent mode. Each

195

full MS scan (60,000 resolving power) was followed by six MS/MS scans, and the

196

three most abundant molecular ions were dynamically selected and fragmented by

197

collision-induced dissociation with a normalized collision energy of 35% and

198

subsequently scanned by higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD)-MS/MS with a

199

collision energy of 45%, as described previously25. Only the 2+, 3+, and 4+ ions were

200

selected for fragmentation by collision-induced dissociation and HCD.

DISCUSSION

383

As a probiotic bacterium, L. casei Zhang faces several challenges such as glucose

384

starvation within industrial processes. To investigate the molecular mechanisms

385

employed by the bacterium to overcome glucose starvation, we performed integrative

386

genomic and proteomic analysis to compare the responses of L. casei Zhang under

387

glucose restriction and normal conditions.

388

Evidence has revealed that sugar starvation generally triggers sequential changes

389

as follows: arrest of cell growth; degradation of lipids and proteins; rapid

390

consumption of cellular carbohydrate content; decrease in respiration; increase in

391

accumulation of Pi, phosphorylcholine, and free amino acids; and decrease in

392

glycolytic enzymatic activities.18, 19, 30, 31 The ABC transporter family is equipped with

393

an extremely high substrate affinity, and it utilizes the energy of ATP binding

394

and hydrolysis to drive the unidirectional accumulation of solutes across membranes

395

into the bacterial cytoplasm.32 Ohtsu et al. demonstrated that the uptake of L-cysteine

396

via an ABC transporter contributes to defense against oxidative stress in Escherichia

397

coli.33 Another study illustrated that the differential expression of membrane transport

398

401

transporter periplasmic protein), which presumably protects cells against glucose

402

stress by repressing glucose consumption with consumption of amino acids from the

403

medium via an ABC transporter. Simultaneously, an increase in enzymatic activities

404

related to the catabolism of other types of cellular carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino

405

acids, and proteins occurs, including the upregulation of LCAZH_RS03175,

406

LCAZH_RS03180,

407

LCAZH_RS04890 (HAD superfamily hydrolase), and LCAZH_RS03270 (lactose

408

transport regulator). Such a change allows protein and lipid catabolism to compensate

409

for sugar catabolism and sustain respiration and metabolic processes, which is

410

considered a selective advantage for survival and growth during carbon

411

starvation.35Since

412

acid-transporting ATPase activity, the glucose starvation condition might have

413

induced L. casei Zhang to increase transport and metabolism of amino acids, which is

414

also consistent with a previous study showing that the Lactococcus lactis cells

415

retained the ability to transport protein substrates via ATP-driven translocation after

416

carbohydrate depletion and all of the lactococci became nonculturable by inducing the

417

metabolism of amino acids that resulted in ATP and new metabolic products.36

illustrated that glycogen synthase proteins regulating glycogen synthesis39 were

424

differentially expressed in L. casei Zhang of the L group compared to the N group.

425

Upregulation of these proteins may contribute to the synthesis of glycogen and

426

subsequently help protect cells against glucose restriction. On the other hand, studies

427

have shown that starved L. lactis could induce cross-protection under different stress,

428

including heat, acid, oxidative, osmotic and freezing stress.40,

429

trehalose acts as an osmoprotectant as well as a carbon source in bacteria.42 In this

430

study, trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase (gene locus: LCAZH_RS13360) was

431

differentially expressed in L group compared with N group. Additionally, we found a

432

missense mutation (C>A, Ala>Asp) with the physical location of 2597660 at

433

chromosome in gene LCAZH_RS13360. Moreover, this missense mutation was

434

experimentally validated and we found that the mutation was present in 7000g and

435

8000g of L. casei Zhang. In this context, it is surmised that the missense mutation

436

(C>A, Ala>Asp) in gene LCAZH_RS13360 may be assoicated with the differential

437

expression of trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase to some extent. Moreover, the presence

438

of such proteins and mutations may be involved in the adaption to glucose deficiency

439

or cross-protection to different stress. Nevertheless, more experimental verifications

440

are required to determine whether the starvation stress in L. casei Zhang involves

441

similar factors or driven through alternative pathways.

The disaccharide

442

Bacterial PTS catalyzes the concomitant transport and phosphorylation of

443

numerous monosaccharides, disaccharides, amino sugars, polyols, and other sugar

444

derivatives.43 Changes in carbohydrate metabolism have been observed during the 20

response of L. casei BL23 to bile stress.44 A study demonstrated that PTS of L. casei

446

also played a role in cold shock response.45 In addition to carbohydrate PTS, most

447

proteobacteria possess a paralogous system such as nitrogen PTS

448

pathway likely plays an important role in transporting periplasmic glucose into the

449

cytoplasm in addition to glucose-specific PTS.46 In this study, many proteins

450

associated with PTS were found to be upregulated, such as LCAZH_RS14555,

451

LCAZH_RS13800, LCAZH_RS13260, LCAZH_RS01875, and LCAZH_RS13410.

452

This observation may reflect that another sugar other than glucose was metabolized in

453

L. casei Zhang under glucose restriction , and that the extremely slow-growing cells

454

were prepared for glucose starvation. Thus, identifying specific protein markers

455

associated with adaptation to nutrient starvation would facilitate the selection of

456

strains with better performance under such stress.

46

. The PTS

457

Moreover, in this study, L. casei Zhang of the L group exhibited higher

458

expression of proteins relating to pyruvate metabolism, including LCAZH_RS07125,

459

LCAZH_RS07120, LCAZH_RS11600, LCAZH_RS09420, and LCAZH_RS09370.

460

In many microorganisms, the control of glycolytic flux depends on pyruvate kinase

461

activity.47 Pyruvate is the output of the anaerobic metabolic process known

462

as glycolysis,48 which can lead to an increase in ATP production.49 The observed

463

increase in the expression of these proteins may therefore simply reflect a need to

464

overcome glucose deficiency. In this study, some stress response proteins were also

465

induced, including the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS (LCAZH_RS11130) and

466

helicase subunit of the DNA excision repair complex (LCAZH_RS04670). Previous 21

We performed integrative genomic and proteomic analysis to study glucose

474

deficiency-induced alterations in L. casei Zhang. In response to glucose restriction

475

stress, L. casei Zhang activated a global regulatory program, and a number of changes

476

that occurred in concert to reduce the impact of glucose starvation. The integrative

477

genomic and proteomic analysis facilitated an understanding of the adaptive

478

mechanisms in L. casei Zhang during glucose restriction stress. These results will

479

prompt detailed investigations concerning nutrient starvation in L. casei Zhang and

480

may provide new strategies to increase glucose restriction stress tolerance in this

481

species of industrial importance.
