Project description:A highly pathogenic Campylobacter jejuni clone has recently emerged as the major cause of Campylobacter-associated sheep abortion in the U.S. and is also associated with foodborne gastroenteritis in humans. A distinct phenotype of this clone is its ability to induce bacteremia and abortion. To facilitate understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of this hyper virulent clone, the differences in global gene expression patterns between this hyper virulent clone (IA3902) and a non-abortifacient strain (NCTC 11168) were compared by DNA microarray. One-condition experiment, IA3902 vs NCTC11168. Biological replicates: 3 IA3902 , 3 NCTC11168. One replicate per array.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is currently the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Comparison of multiple Campylobacter strains revealed a high genetic and phenotypic diversity. However, little is known about differences in transcriptome organization, gene expression, and small RNA (sRNA) repertoires. Here we present the first comparative primary transcriptome analysis based on the differential RNAM-bM-^@M-^Sseq (dRNAM-bM-^@M-^Sseq) of four C. jejuni isolates. Our approach includes a novel, generic method for the automated annotation of transcriptional start sites (TSS), which allowed us to provide genome-wide promoter maps in the analyzed strains. These global TSS maps are refined through the integration of a SuperGenome approach that allows for a comparative TSS annotation by mapping RNAM-bM-^@M-^Sseq data of multiple strains into a common coordinate system derived from a whole-genome alignment. Considering the steadily increasing amount of RNAM-bM-^@M-^Sseq studies, our automated TSS annotation will not only facilitate transcriptome annotation for a wider range of pro- and eukaryotes but can also be adapted for the analysis among different growth or stress conditions. Our comparative dRNAM-bM-^@M-^Sseq analysis revealed conservation of most TSS, but also single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNP) in promoter regions, which lead to strain-specific transcriptional output. Furthermore, we identified strain-specific sRNA repertoires that could contribute to differential gene regulation among strains. In addition, we identified a novel minimal CRISPR-system in Campylobacter of the type-II CRISPR subtype, which relies on the host factor RNase III and a trans-encoded sRNA for maturation of crRNAs. This minimal system of Campylobacter, which seems active in only some strains, employs a unique maturation pathway, since the crRNAs are transcribed from individual promoters in the upstream repeats and thereby minimize the requirements for the maturation machinery. Overall, our study provides new insights into strain-specific transcriptome organization and sRNAs, and reveals genes that could modulate phenotypic variation among strains despite high conservation at the DNA level. Our dRNA-seq study of multiple C. jejuni strains represents the first comparative analysis of the primary transcriptomes of multiple strains and provides new insights into riboregulation in this bacterial pathogen.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is a major zoonotic pathogen transmitted to humans via the food chain. C. jejuni is prevalent in chickens, a natural reservoir for this pathogenic organism. Due to the importance of macrolide antibiotics in clinical therapy of human campylobacteriosis, development of macrolide resistance in Campylobacter has become a concern for public health.To facilitate understanding the molecular basis associated with the fitness difference between Erys and Eryr Campylobacter, we compared the transcriptomes between ATCC 700819 and its isogenic Eryr transformant T.L.101 using DNA microarray. The design utilized an available two color microarray slide for the entire transcriptome of Campylobacter jejuni. Four hybridizations were performed each with independently extracted samples of either macrolide susceptible ATCC 700819 cDNA samples or its isogenic Eryr transformant T.L.101 cDNA samples. A dye swap was utilized to help minimize dye dependent bias. Thus, there were four biological replicates of each sample.

Project description:Campylobacter, a major foodborne pathogen, is increasingly resistant to macrolide antibibotics. Previous findings suggeted that development of macrolide resistance in campylobacter requires a multi-step process, but the molecular mechanisms involved in the process are not known. In our study, multiple series of macrolide-resistant C. jejuni mutants were selected in vitro by stepwise exposure of C. jejuni NCTC11168 to increasing concentrations of erythromycin and tylosin. A set of the selected resistance were subjected to microarray and the the global transcriptional profile was analyzed. In this sery, DNA microarray was used to compare the gene expression profiles of macrolide resistant strains (68E1, 68E8 and 68E64) with its parent wild-type strain NCTC11168. The assay identified a small number of genes that showed significant changes (q-value<0.1) in expression in the low-level macrolide resistant strain 68E1, while a large number of gene showing significant changes in intermedia-level resistant stran 68E8 and high-level resistant strain 68 E64. The up-regulated genes in the resistant strains are involved in miscellaneous periplasmic proteins, efflux protienand putative aminotransferase, while the majority of the down-regulated genes are involved in electron transport,lipoprotein, heat shock protein and unknown function proteins. These findings suggest that there is not much change in low-level macrolide resistant C. jejuni strain. The over-expression of efflux pump and periplasmic protein was involved in the development of resistance to macrolide in C. jejuni. Keywords: macrolide resistant C. jejuni selected from NCTC 11168 step-wise selection. The design utilized an available two color microarray slide for the entire transcriptome of Campylobacter jejuni.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most important causes of food-borne diseases in industrialized countries. It is known that amino acids are important nutrient source for this pathogen, because C. jejuni lacks enzymes related to glycolysis. However, the characteristics on metabolism of C. jejuni grown in the nutrient restricted medium with a specific amino acid is not fully elucidated. This study shows that C. jejuni NCTC11168 grew well in the nutrient restricted medium containing serine, aspartate, glutamate, and proline. The single subtraction of serine significantly reduced the growth, while three other amino acids did not, suggesting the priority of serine among the four amino acids. In the transcriptomic analysis of C. jejuni NCTC11168 grown in medium with serine as a main energy source. Serine seemed to be sensed by some chemoreceptors and the C. jejuni might reached an adaptation stage with active growth. That is, the expression of flagellar assembly components was downregulated and the biosynthesis of multiple amino acids and nucleotide sugars were upregulated. These data suggest the higher requirement of serine as a nutrient of C. jejuni NCTC11168.
