Transcriptomes of covR/S mutant strains of S. pyogenes


ABSTRACT: Two covR mutant derivatives of parental strain MGAS2221 were recovered from mice experimentally infected with MGAS2221 and shown to differ in terms of the number and concentration of secreted proteins. One of the covR mutant strains had a secretion phenotype identical to a covS mutant strain, while the other had a secretion phenotype identical to a constructed covR mutant strain. To further investigate the potential differences between the two covR mutant strains we performed expression microarray analysis. Single cultures of each of the four GAS strains tested were grown in THY broth to early exponential phase (O.D. 0.2). Two volumes of RNA protect were added, the samples incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes, and the bacteria collected through centrifugation. Total RNA was isolated via a mechaniscal disruption method, converted to cDNA, fragmented, labeled, and hybridized to our Affymetrix microarray. Estimates of gene expression were calculated using GCOS software v1.4. Data represent probes for serotype M1.

CovS simultaneously activates and inhibits the CovR-mediated repression of distinct subsets of group A Streptococcus virulence factor-encoding genes.

To colonize and cause disease at distinct anatomical sites, bacterial pathogens must tailor gene expression in a microenvironment-specific manner. The molecular mechanisms that control the ability of the human bacterial pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS) to transition between infection sites have yet to be fully elucidated. A key regulator of GAS virulence gene expression is the CovR-CovS two-component regulatory system (also known as CsrR-CsrS). covR and covS mutant strains arise spontaneousl  ...[more]
