摘要: Methanogenic archaea play a key role in the global carbon cycle because these microorganisms remineralize organic compounds in various anaerobic environments. The microorganism Methanosarcina barkeri is a metabolically versatile methanogen, which can utilize acetate, methanol, and H2/CO2 to synthesize methane. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying methanogenesis for different substrates remain unknown. In this study, RNA-seq analysis was used to investigate M. barkeri growth and gene transcription under different substrate regimes. According to the results, M. barkeri showed the best growth under methanol, followed by H2/CO2 and acetate, and these findings corresponded well with the observed variations in genes transcription abundance for different substrates. In addition, we identified a novel regulator, MSBRM_RS03855 (designated as HdrR), which specifically activates the transcription of the heterodisulfide reductase hdrBCA operon in M. barkeri. HdrR was able to bind to the hdrBCA operon promoter to regulate transcription. Furthermore, the structural model analyses revealed a helix-turn-helix domain, which is likely involved in DNA binding. Taken together, HdrR serves as a model to reveal how certain regulatory factors control the expression of key enzymes in the methanogenic pathway. IMPORTANCE The microorganism Methanosarcina barkeri has a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle and contributes to global temperature homeostasis. The consequences of biological methanogenesis are far-reaching, including impacts on atmospheric methane and CO2 concentrations, agriculture, energy production, waste treatment, and human health. As such, reducing methane emissions is crucial to meeting set climate goals. The methanogenic activity of certain microorganisms can be drastically reduced by inhibiting the transcription of the hdrBCA operon, which encodes heterodisulfide reductases. Here, we provide novel insight into the mechanisms regulating hdrBCA operon transcription in the model methanogen M. barkeri. The results clarified that HdrR serves as a regulator of heterodisulfide reductase hdrBCA operon transcription during methanogenesis, which expands our understanding of the unique regulatory mechanisms that govern methanogenesis. The findings presented in this study can further our understanding of how genetic regulation can effectively reduce the methane emissions caused by methanogens.
