Project description:Several strains of Lactobacillus plantarum are marketed as health-promoting probiotics. The role and interplay of specific cell-wall compounds like wall- and lipo-teichoic acids (WTA and LTA) in probiotic-host interactions remains obscure. Through genome mining and mutagenesis we constructed derivatives of L. plantarum WCFS1 that synthesize alternative WTA variants. The mutants were shown to completely lack WTA, or produce WTA and LTA that lack D-Ala substitution, or ribitol-backbone WTA instead of the wild-type glycerol-containing backbone. Transcriptome analysis revealed the genetic determinants involved in backbone switching. Human dendritic cells secreted drastically decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines after stimulation with the WTA mutants, and indicated LTA contributes to TLR-2/6 signalling, whereas WTA attenuates TLR-2 and TLR-1/2 signalling in a backbone-alditol dependent manner. Overall, the engineering of WTA and its consequences for immune system interaction advances our molecular understanding of host-microbe communication, and underpins the strain-specificity of probiotics. All samples were hybridized twice (each dye once) in a triangular design, hybridizing all samples

Project description:Specific Lactobacillus strains are marketed as probiotics i.e. health promoting organisms. As previously shown in vivo, L. plantarum WCFS1 modulates immune responses via nuclear factor (NF)kB in a growth phase dependent manner, likely caused by changed microbial cell surface characteristics. Here, we identified the differential cell-surface proteome composition of L. plantarum WCFS1 cells derived from the mid-logarithmic and late stationary growth phase by surface trypsination of intact bacterial cells, followed by a combined 1D- and 2D-LC-MS shotgun proteomics strategy, and growth phase dependent transcriptome analysis. Overall, these analyses led to the identification of 31 surface proteins differentially present in the logarithmic and stationary phase, whereas additional 17 and 33 proteins appeared solely present in stationary and logarithmic phase of growth, respectively. From 75% of predicted surface related genes displaying relatively high expression levels, the corresponding proteins were detected, demonstrating a high correlation between transcriptome and proteome profiles. The impact of cell-surface peptide fractions on cellular host responses was evaluated using NFkB promoter activation assays in intestinal epithelial cells, revealing that only late stationary phase derived peptides are capable of attenuating flagellin and cell envelope induced NFkB activation. Overall our data mechanistically expand earlier observations that revealed growth-phase dependent immunomodulation by L. plantarum WCFS1, leading to a typical adjuvant- or tolerance-like response after exposure to stationary phase harvested bacterial cells. Sub-fractionation of the late stationary phase peptide fraction revealed a sub-set of strong attenuator peptides able to manipulate NFkB related pathways to hereby attenuate pro-inflammatory signaling. Samples were hybridizedin a loop design linking each timepoint to the next as well as the previous timepoint. Additional hybridizations were introduced linking each sample three timepoints forward and three timepoints back. All samples were hybridized unsing at least each of the two dyes once.

Project description:Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 was differentially fermented in 29 different fermentations according to a factorial, combinatorial scheme that included variations in growth temperature (28 or 37C), NaCl concentration (0 or 0.3M), pH (5.2, 5.8, 6.4), as well as oxygen (N2 or air) and amino acid availability (1.1 or 2x concentration). Samples were hybridized in a star design using five samples in the center all connected to each other. The remaining samples were linked (evenly distributed) to the samples in the inner circle in a loop design with additional links (shortcuts) to the center sample. All samples were hybridized in duplicate (at minimum) using each of the two dyes (Cy3/Cy5) at least once per sample.

Project description:Sortases are transpeptidase enzymes that couple surface proteins to the peptidoglycan of Gram-positive bacteria. Several sortase-dependent proteins (SDPs) have been identified that are crucial for bacterial pathogenesis and, although less frequently, for the physiology of non-pathogenic bacteria. We found that an isogenic sortase A (srtA) deletion derivative (NZ7104) of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 did not express any residual SrtA activity, i.e. failed to cleave the LPQTDE SrtA recognition motif. Trypsination of intact bacterial cells, followed by mass spectrometry based peptide identification, revealed a significant decrease, but not complete loss of SDPs on the NZ7104 cell surface as compared to the wildtype. Using LiCl, we further found that several SDPs could be extracted from the cell surface of NZ7104 but not from the wildtype, demonstrating that SrtA is involved in the covalent coupling of these SDPs. Neither the gastrointestinal persistence of L. plantarum in mice, nor the cytokine secretion patterns induced in monocyte derived immature dendritic cells (iDCs) was significantly affected by the srtA deletion. However, contrary to the wild-type cells, LiCl washed NZ7104 cells induced drastically increased proinflammatory cytokine production in iDCs, indicating a role of the SDPs in attenuation of immune system stimulation. array were constructed in two subdesigns: one comparing all samples from logarithmic phase (WT vs mutant) and one comparing the stationary phase samples (WT vs mutant)

Project description:The bacterial cell envelope is a complex, multilayered structure that is not only essential to maintain cellular integrity, but also facilitates vital bacterial processes such as adaption, colonization and adhesion. Cell envelopes comprise a wide range of molecules, such as proteins and capsular polysaccharide (CPS), which collectively decorate the bacterial cell in a species- and strain specific manner. Here we characterized the 4 CPS gene cluster of L. plantarum and assessed the impact on CPS (combinatorial) gene deletions on surface polysaccharide composition.

Project description:Analyses of the Wild type and the sigma 54 mutant strain NZ7306 with and without peroxide treatment: A Lactobacillus plantarum strain with a deletion in the alternative sigma factor 54 (?54) encoding gene rpoN, displayed a 100 fold higher sensitivity to peroxide as compared to its parental strain. This feature could be due to ?54-dependent regulation of genes involved in peroxide stress response. However, transcriptome analyses of the wild type and the mutant strain during peroxide exposure did not support such a role for ?54. Subsequent experiments revealed that the impaired expression of the mannose PTS operon in the rpoN mutant caused the observed increased peroxide sensitivity. Keywords: genetic modification Two conditions were tested in the transcriptome comparison, the condition “peroxide stress exposure” and the condition “deletion of the rpoN-gene”. This resulted in 4 samples: “Wild type normal”, “rpoN-mutant normal”, “Wild type with peroxide”, and “rpoN-mutant with peroxide”. Samples were hybridised against a sample with only one variation, resulting in a total of 4 hybridisations (“Wild type vs Mutant”, “Wild type vs Wild type peroxide”, “Mutant vs Mutant peroxide”, and “Wild type peroxide vs Mutant peroxide”). The experiment was performed in duplicate (duplicates are designated A and B) and in order to discriminate the variation between the duplicates additional hybridisation were performed: “Wild type A vs Wild type B” and “Mutant with peroxide A vs Mutant with peroxide B”. This resulted in a total of 10 hybridisations (2 x 4 and 2).

Project description:Lactobacillus reuteri is a heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium best known for its ability to co-ferment glucose and glycerol. Its genome sequence has recently been deduced enabling the implementation of genome-wide analysis. In this study we developed a dedicated cDNA microarray platform and a genome-scale metabolic network model of L. reuteri and use them to revisit the co-fermentation of glucose and glycerol. The model was used to simulate experimental conditions and to visualize and integrate experimental data in particular the global transcriptional response of L. reuteri to the presence of glycerol. We show how the presence of glycerol affects cell physiology and triggers specific regulatory mechanisms allowing simultaneously a better yield and more efficient biomass formation. Furthermore we were able to predict and demonstrate for this well-studied condition the involvement of previously unsuspected metabolic pathways for instance related to amino acids and vitamins. These could be used as leads in future studies aiming at the increased production of industrially relevant compounds such as vitamin B12 or 1 3- propanediol.

Project description:This data set contains samples from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 wild type and its CcpA mutant derivative. Both strains were grown in duplicate (samples L and R) and at four different growth stages samples were taken (early, mid and late log phase, early stationary phase). Samples were compared to each other within one strain and between the two strains. This allows the comparison of the wild type strain to its CcpA derivative in time. Further it allows comparison within one strain during different growth stages. Biological duplicate was performed.
