Farnesyl Diphosphate (FPP) Toxicity in E. coli, LB medium

ABSTRACT: This experiment studied the effect of FPP accumulation on E. coli. E. coli cells transformed with pMBIS (the S. cerevisiae mevalonate pathway enzymes converting mevalonate to FPP) and fed mevalonate produce large amounts of FPP, which causes toxicity when it accumulates. When coupled with an active amorphadiene synthase (pADS) the cells produce amorphadiene, a non-toxic isoprenoid. To accumulate FPP, but maintain similar protein burden, an amorphadiene synthase with 3 mutations to render it inactive was used (pADSmut) to accumulate FPP. E. coli was transformed with pMBIS and pADS or pMBIS and pADSMut and grown in LB and fed 10 mM mevalonate and induced with 0.5 mM IPTG, then sampled at subsequent time points. This comparison is between E. coli DH1 cells accumulating FPP via the heterologous mevalonate pathway (pMBIS/pADSmut) to cells producing amorphadiene via the same pathway (pMBIS/pADS). Samples were collected 2.5, 5, 7, and 29.5 hr after addition of IPTG and mevalonate. One biological replicate was used. Total RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed, labeled, and hybridized to multiple slides for technical replicates.

Project description:Background. Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) that is intensively studied in the context of metal corrosion and heavy-metal bioremediation, and SRB populations are commonly observed in pipe and subsurface environments as surface-associated populations. In order to elucidate physiological changes associated with biofilm growth at both the transcript and protein level, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were done on mature biofilm cells and compared to both batch and reactor planktonic populations. The biofilms were cultivated with lactate and sulfate in a continiouslly fed biofilm reactor, and compared to both batch and reactor planktonic populations. The functional genomic analysis demonstrated that biofilm cells were different compared to planktonic cells, and the majority of altered abundances for genes and proteins were annotated as hypothetical (unknown function), energy conservation, amino acid metabolism, and signal transduction. Genes and proteins that showed similar trends in detected levels were particularly involved in energy conservation such as increases in an annotated ech hydrogenase, formate dehydrogenase, pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, and rnf oxidoreductase, and the biofilm cells had elevated formate dehydrogenase activity. Several other hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases also showed an increased protein level, while decreased transcript and protein levels were observed for putative coo hydrogenases as well as a lactate permease and hyp hydrogenases for biofilm cells. Genes annotated for amino acid synthesis and nitrogen utilization were also predominant changers within the biofilm state. Ribosomal transcripts and proteins were notably decreased within the biofilm cells compared to exponential-phase cells but were not as low as levels observed in planktonic, stationary-phase cells. Several putative, extracellular proteins (DVU1012, 1545) were also detected in the extracellular fraction from biofilm cells. Even though both the planktonic and biofilm cells were oxidizing lactate and reducing sulfate, the biofilm cells were physiologically distinct compared to planktonic growth states due to altered abundances of genes/proteins involved in carbon/energy flow and extracellular structures. In addition, average expression values for multiple rRNA transcripts and respiratory activity measurements indicated that biofilm cells were metabolically more similar to exponential-phase cells although biofilm cells are structured differently. The characterization of physiological advantages and constraints of the biofilm growth state for sulfate-reducing bacteria will provide insight into bioremediation applications as well as microbially-induced metal corrosion. Biofilms grown in reactors were compared to reference samples of reactor, planktonic and batch, planktonic. Each sample had a biological triplicate.
