LiaR Transcriptome in Streptococcus agalactiae

ABSTRACT: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) is a leading cause of early-onset neonatal bacterial infection. Evasion of innate immune defenses is critical to neonatal GBS disease pathogenesis. Effectors of the innate immune system such as antimicrobial peptides, as well as numerous antibiotics, target the peptidoglycan layer of the gram positive bacterial cell wall. The intramembrane-sensing histidine kinase class of two-component regulatory systems has recently been identified as important to the gram-positive response to cell wall stress. We identified and characterized the GBS homolog of LiaR, the response regulator component of the LiaFSR system and constructed site-directed, non-polar deletion mutations in the regulator gene liaR. GBS LiaR deletion mutant strains are more susceptible to cell wall active antibiotics (vancomycin and bacitracin) as well as antimicrobial peptides (colistin, nisin and the human cathelicidin LL-37) compared to isogenic wild-type GBS. LiaR mutant GBS are significantly attenuated in mouse models of both GBS sepsis and GBS pneumonia. To determine the genes regulated by LiaR that account for these defects, transcriptional profiling was performed using DNA microarray analysis, comparing wild-type GBS to LiaR mutant GBS under non-stressed conditions. Two separate RNA samples were extracted for each condition. One flip-dye replicate (2 hybridizations) was obtained for each pair of RNA samples for 4 hybridizations total.

Transcriptome changes in Streptococcus agalactiae due to deletion of both the CiaR and LiaR Transcriptional Regulators

Project description:The CiaRH and LiaFSR two-component regulatory systems in Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) are essential mediators of the organism s response to biologically important sources of environmental stress, and positive regulators of GBS virulence. Transcriptional profiling of CiaR mutant GBS and LiaR mutant GBS reveals that LiaR is positively-regulated by CiaR, and the individual mutant transcriptomes share a number of commonly-regulated genes. To determine the GBS response to loss of both of these key regulatory systems, we constructed a GBS mutant strain with non-polar deletions in both ciaR and liaR, and performed transcriptional profiling using DNA microarray analysis, comparing wild-type GBS to CiaR/LiaR double mutant GBS under non-stressed conditions. Two separate RNA samples were extracted for each condition. One flip-dye replicate (2 hybridizations) was obtained for each pair of RNA samples for 4 hybridizations total.

Enterococcus faecalis V583 - data analysis

Project description:Genome-scale models represent the link between an organism's genetic information and experimentally observable biological phenotypes. They facilitate metabolic engineering and the discovery of network properties such as the identification of novel drug targets. Most commonly, metabolite consumption data is used to limit the solution space, sometimes in combination with gene expression data. However, information about gene expression only poorly correlates with the abundance of the respective proteins within the cell. As such, we developed a method to map and integrate the whole-cell proteome into genome-scale models on the example of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first effort to integrate proteome data into genome-scale models on such a scale .

Insert in CovS Gene Distinguishes a Pharyngeal and a Blood Isolate of Streptococcus pyogenes Found in the Same Individual.

Project description:Expression of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors by Streptococcus pyogenes are controlled by many regulators, of which covR/S is one of the best characterized and can influence ~15% of the genome. Animal models have established that mutants of CovR/S arise spontaneously in vivo resulting in highly invasive organisms. We analyzed a pharyngeal and a blood isolate of S. pyogenes recovered from the same individual 13 days apart. The two isolates varied in many phenotypic properties including speB production, which were reflected in transcriptome analyses. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, and partial sequencing of some key genes failed to show any differences except for an 11-base insert in the covS gene in the blood isolate. These results showing that pharyngeal and blood isolates from a single individual which differ by a simple insertion, provide evidence for the model that regulatory gene mutations allow S. pyogenes to invade different niches in the body. A chip study using total RNA recovered from two separate wild-type cultures of group A Streptococcus, Streptococcus pyogenes UH322 and UH328. Each chip measures the expression level of 1865 genes replicated twice from 7 fully sequenced strains of Streptococcus pyogenes (M1_GAS NC_002737; MGAS10394 NC_006086; MGAS315 NC_004070; MGAS5005 NC_007297; MGAS6180 NC_007296; MGAS8232 NC_003485; SSI-1 NC_004606 with fourteen 24-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Group B Streptococcus genes controlled by the CiaR response regulator

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify Group B Streptococcus (GBS) genes that are controlled by the CiaR response regulator. Deletion of the GBS ciaR gene resulted in a significant decrease in intracellular survival within neutrophils, murine macrophages, and human BMEC, which was linked to increased susceptibility to killing by antimicrobial peptides, lysozyme, and reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, competition experiments in mice showed that wild-type GBS had a significant survival advantage compared to the isogenic ciaR mutant. Microarray analysis comparing gene expression between the wild-type and ciaR mutant strains revealed several CiaR-regulated genes that may contribute to GBS stress tolerance and subversion of host defenses. Two cultures each of the wild-type GBS strain (COH1) and the isogenic ciaR mutant were grown in Todd-Hewitt broth to an optical density of 0.3. Cells were disrupted by shaking with glass beads and RNA was isolated by a Trizol method. A custom Affymetrix chip with a design based on the COH1 genomic sequence was used to analyze gene expression.

CovR-regulated genes in Streptococcus mutans strain UA159

Project description:The goal of the study was to identify subsets of the genes, which are up-regulated and down-regulated by CovR regulator in UA159 strain. Two independently isolated RNA samples from each of the wild-type UA159 strain and its covR mutant strain grown until mid-exponential phase were analyzed. Each sample was hybridized with 5 blocks of NimbleGen arrays.

Transcriptomic comparison of serotype M1 S. pyogenes

Project description:S. pyogenes strains were compared with the intact covRS form of the globally disseminated M1T1 clone to track transcriptomic changes engendered during the emergence of the M1T1 clone. The mutant covRS form of the M1T1 clone was included as a transcriptomic outlier and to provide a context for the magnitude of transcriptional shifts detected within the isolate set examined. Microarray was performed on RNA extracted from mid-logarithmic phase S. pyogenes grown in Todd-Hewitt with 1% yeast extract in vitro. Experiments were performed using a single color method. Each sample was labelled with Cy3 and hybridized to separate arrays. Each strain was analysed in 3 biological replicates. cDNA hybridized to JCVI PFGRC Streptococcus pyogenes v2 oligo arrays. Only probed representing the core M1 genome were used for analysis.

Brain endothelium gene expression during group B streptococcus (GBS) infection

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the response of human brain endothelial cells to bacterial (group B streptococcus, GBS) infection. Results: GBS WT strain infection results in a specific gene induction pattern that is different from the pilA mutant, but not other mutants such as pilB and srr-1. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the GBS PilA protein contributes to gene induction in brain endothelium.
