Modulation of primary cell function of host Pseudomonas bacteria by conjugative plasmid pCAR1

ABSTRACT: Impacts of plasmid carriage on its host cell were comprehensively analyzed using conjugative plasmid pCAR1 in the three different kinds of hosts, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, P. aeruginosa PAO1, and P. fluorescens Pf0-1. Various analyses of the host phenotype showed that pCAR1 carriage reduced host fitness, swimming motility, and resistances to osmotic- or pH-stress, and brought about the alterations of primary metabolic capacities in the TCA cycle or those several steps away from the TCA cycle in the host cells. Growth phase-dependent transcriptome analyses were performed with the classification of the annotated genes based on their identities among the three hosts and their putative functions. pCAR1 carriage affected host transcriptome more greatly at the transition and stationary phases in each host. The transcriptome responses were more similar between KT2440 and PAO1 than between other host combinations, and many genes, such as for ribosomal proteins, F-type ATPase, and RNAP core, in both strains were commonly not suppressed in their stationary phases. These responses may have resulted in the reduction of host fitness, motility, and stress resistances. Host-specific responses to plasmid carriage were transcriptional changes of genes on putative prophage or foreign DNA regions. The extent of the impacts in host phenotypes and transcriptomes was similarly the largest in KT2440 and the lowest in Pf0-1. The host alterations controlled by pCAR1 carriage are important for understanding the fate of the plasmid and its host, plasmid maintenance, expression of plasmid genes, the host cell physiology, and host survivability in the environment. The growth-dependent change of chromosomal RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of pCAR1-harboring KT2440 and non-pCAR1 harboring KT2440 were compared. The growth-dependent change of chromosomal RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of pCAR1-harboring PAO1 and non-pCAR1 harboring PAO1 were compared. The growth-dependent change of chromosomal RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of pCAR1-harboring Pf0-1 and non-pCAR1 harboring Pf0-1 were compared. The growth-dependent change of RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of plasmid pCAR1possessed by 3 kinds of hosts were compared.

Project description:ChIP-seq has become the method of choice for studying functional DNA-protein interactions on a genome wide scale. The method is based on co-immunoprecipitation of DNA binding proteins with formaldehyde cross-linked DNA, followed by deep sequencing of immunoprecipitated chromatin fragments, allowing for the identification of binding sites with high accuracy [1-5]. Traditionally, genome-wide tiling path microarrays were used for the detection of specifically immunoprecipitated DNA fragments, but current next-generation sequencers now generate sufficient data to assay multiple samples in a single sequencing run, making this method more time and cost effective compared to microarray-based approaches [2]. However, due to limitations in read length of next generation sequencing technologies (50-76bp), it is not possible to sequence the complete length of immunoprecipitated DNA fragments which can be up to 2kb long reflecting biology in case of big protein complexes. As a consequence only the ends of the immunoprecipitated DNA fragments are sequenced. Deconvolution of sequencing reads mapping to the positive and negative strand is required to identify the real DNA binding site [4-9]. This limitation is most obvious in case of large complex regions where multiple binding sites of various regulatory elements are clustered close to each other. Deconvolution of such regions and the exact identification of individual binding positions is very challenging [4]. Similar problems can occur when studying histone positioning in cases where the length of ChIP fragments is bigger than the average distance of 2 neighboring nucleosomes. In addition frequently only narrow size range of immunoprecipitated fragments is selected for sequencing and thus possible bias towards binding regions within the selected range can be expected by loosing larger fragments possible originated from protein complexes interacting with DNA. To circumvent these complications, we modified the procedure for the preparation of ChIP-seq samples by introducing an additional extensive fragmentation round after isolation of immunoprecipitated chromatin to generate 70-110 bp long DNA fragments. For testing, we choose Tcf4 protein which is a well-studied downstream element of the Wnt-pathway for which the genome wide binding site profile is known was already known from ChIP-on-CHIP experiments [10]. Using the modified approach, we were able to identify Tcf4 binding sites at near nucleotide resolution without computational deconvolution. Furthermore, high-resolution information on genome-wide binding site regions allowed for the identification of potential novel Tcf4 co-factors as well as target genes. 5 samples + 3 input samples
