Bacillus subtilis Rnase Y activity in vivo analysed by tiling microarrays

ABSTRACT: RNase Y is an essential endoribonuclease affecting global mRNA stability in Bacillus subtilis. We used high-resolution tiling arrays to analyze the effect of RNase Y depletion on RNA abundance covering the entire genome. The data confirm that this endoribonuclease plays a key role in initiating the decay of a large number of mRNAs as well as non coding RNAs. Comparison of the data with that of two other recent studies revealed very significant differences. About two thirds of the mRNAs upregulated following RNase Y depletion were different when compared to either one of these studies and only about 10% of were in common in all three studies.Our data confirmed already known RNase Y substrates and due to the precision and reproducibility of the profiles allows an exceptionally detailed view of the turnover of hundreds of new RNA substrates. A four arrays study of the transcriptome profiles of the B. subtilis RNase Y depletion strain SSB447 (Shahbabian et al., 2009) in which the gene rny is under the control of an IPTG inducible promoter. Rnase Y depleted cells (IPTG-) are compared to the transcript profiles of non depleted cells (IPTG+). As the rny gene is essential, depletion can only be partial. Here we carefully selected the time point for taking the sample in order to minimize growth rate effects and to obtain an highly reproducible data set.

RNA processing in Bacillus subtilis: Identification of targets of the essential RNase Y

Project description:RNA processing and degradation is initiated by endonucleolytic cleavage of the target RNAs. In many bacteria, this activity is performed by RNase E which is not present in Bacillus subtilis and other Gram-positive bacteria. Recently, the essential endoribonuclease RNase Y has been discovered in B. subtilis. This RNase is involved in the degradation of bulk mRNA suggesting a major role in mRNA metabolism. However, only a few targets of RNase Y have been identified so far. In order to assess the global impact of RNase Y, we compared the transcriptomes of strains expressing RNase Y or depleted for RNase Y. Our results indicate that processing by RNase Y results in accumulation of about 80 mRNAs. Some of these targets were substantially stabilized by RNase Y depletion, resulting in half-lives in the range of an hour. Moreover, about 40 mRNAs were less abundant when RNase Y was depleted among them the mRNAs of the operons required for biofilm formation. Interestingly, overexpression of RNase Y was sufficient to induce biofilm formation. The results emphasize the importance of RNase Y for B. subtilis and are in support of the idea that RNase Y is the functional equivalent of RNase E. To study the global function of RNase Y, a microarray analysis was performed with a B. subtilis strain allowing controlled depletion of RNase Y. Strain GP193 (Commichau et al., 2009, Mol. Cell. Proteomics 8: 1350-1360) expressing the rny gene under the control of a xylose-inducible promoter was cultivated in CSE minimal medium in the presence or absence of the inducer xylose. The transcriptomes of the two cultures (i.e. expressing RNase Y and depleted for RNase Y) were compared at a timepoint at which the reduced RNase Y amounts already affected the mRNA turnover whereas the growth rates of the two cultures were still almost identical.

RNase Y of Staphylococcus aureus and its role in the activation of virulence genes

Project description:RNase Y of Bacillus subtilis is a key member of the degradosome and important for bulk mRNA turnover. In contrast to B. subtilis, the RNase Y homologue (rny/cvfA) of Staphylococcus aureus is not essential for growth. Here we found that RNase Y plays a major role in virulence gene regulation. Accordingly, rny deletion mutants demonstrated impaired virulence in a murine bacteraemia model. RNase Y is important for the processing and stabilisation of the immature transcript of the global virulence regulator system SaePQRS. Moreover, RNase Y is involved in the activation of virulence gene expression at the promoter level. This control is independent of both the virulence regulator agr and the saePQRS processing and may be mediated by small RNAs some of which were shown to be degraded by RNase Y. Besides this regulatory effect, mRNA levels of several operons were significantly increased in the rny mutant and the half-life of one of these operons was shown to be extremely extended. However, the half-life of many mRNA species was not significantly altered. Thus, RNase Y in S. aureus influences mRNA expression in a tightly controlled regulatory manner and is essential for coordinated activation of virulence genes.

The transcirptional effect of CtrA depletion in S. meliloti

Project description:We wanted to test the effect on global gene expression of depleting the essential cell cycle regulator CtrA in order to determine the genes both indirectly and directly transcriptionally regulated by CtrA Gene expression changes in S. meliloti 1,2,4 and 6 hours post CtrA depletion Log-phase S. meliloti cultures carrying an IPTG-inducible allele of CtrA were split and transferred to growth media lacking IPTG (depletion) and with 1mM IPTG (control). Samples for RNA extraction were taken 1,2,4, and 6 hours after the start of the depletion experiment to monitor gene expression changes in the population after different periods of CtrA depletion.

BS3 crosslinking of GRC3 and Las1

Project description:Ribosome assembly is a complex process involving the coordination of multiple enzymes. A recently discovered endoribonuclease (RNase), Las1, and the poly-nucleotide kinase (PNK), Grc3, assemble into a complex. To attempt to understand the coordination of the two enzymes in this complex, we performed chemical crosslinking and mass spectrometry and also solved a series of cryo-electron microscopy structures of RNase PNK in multiple conformational states.

Light activation of the sigmaB-mediated general stress-response of Bacillus subtilis

Project description:The sigma(B)-dependent general stress response in the common soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis can be elicited by a range of stress factors, such as starvation or an ethanol-, salt-, or heat-shock, via a complex upstream signaling cascade. Additionally, sigma(B) can be activated by blue light, via the phototropin homologue YtvA, a component of the environmental branch of the signaling cascade. The genome-wide transcriptomes of B. subtilis reported here show that sigma(B) can activated by blue as well as red light via RsbP/RspQ, the energy branch of sigma(B) upstream signaling cascade. A 16 chip genome-wide expression study using RNA recovered from B.subtilis strain PB565/pYtvA under light and dark conditions before and after induction with IPTG, and from B.subtilis strain PB565 under light and dark conditions. Each B.subtilis subsp. subtilis strain 168 NC_000964 chip measures the expression level of 4,104 genes in two-fold from with eight 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene.
