Differences in gene expression of delta-fmt and wild-type Staphylococcus aureus RN4220

ABSTRACT: Formyltransferase lacking mutants exhibit reduced growth rates in exponential phase indicating that the function of certain proteins depends on formylated N-termini but it has remained unclear, which cellular processes are abrogated by the lack of formylation. In order to elucidate how global metabolic processes are affected by the absence of formylated proteins the transcription of the fmt mutant was compared with that of the parental strain. Bacteria were grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and harvested in the exponential growth phase. Here we have expected the most effects of lacking formyltransferase.

Gene expression in synthetic nasal medium

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus prefers the human anterior nares as its habitat, but nothing is known about the nutritional situation in this ecological niche. Analysis of nasal secretions showed a complex mixture of nutrients at low concentration. Based on these findings a synthetic nasal medium (SNM) was composed, mimicking nasal secretions. We used microarrays in order to investigate pathways and expression patterns important in a synthetic medium mimicking nasal secretions compared to standard laboratory complex medium Staphylococcus aureus USA300 was inoculated in complex medium (BM) or synthetic nasal medium (SNM) to an OD578nm of 0.005 and grown under aerobic conditions until OD578nm of 0.02. RNA was stabilized and extracted at this early growth phase and hybridization was made on Affymetrix microarrays. The aim was to identify genes which are important during growth under the limited conditions present during colonization of human nares

DNA packaging bias and differential expression of gene transfer agent genes within a population during production and release of the Rhodobacter capsulatus gene transfer agent, RcGTA

Project description:Rhodobacter capsulatus produces a gene transfer agent (GTA) called RcGTA. RcGTA is a phage-like particle that packages R. capsulatus DNA and transfers it to other R. capsulatus cells. Low-resolution techniques suggested RcGTA packages random DNA. Analysis of the RcGTA terminase sequence revealed a distant relationship to the phage T4 terminase protein, which can also perform sequence-independent packaging. We quantified the relative frequency of packaging for each gene in the genome by hybridization of DNA from RcGTA particles to an R. capsulatus microarray. All genes were found within the RcGTA particles, and random packaging was observed at a genome-wide scale. However, the genes encoding the RcGTA particle were under-packaged compared to other regions. Single-cell expression analysis demonstrated that RcGTA gene expression is not uniform within a culture. We propose a mechanism by which high levels of RcGTA gene transcription in the most active RcGTA producing cells hinders access of the packaging machinery to these genes, which causes a reduction in their packaging frequency. This sub-population gene expression phenomenon likely explains the lack of observed cell lysis in RcGTA producing cultures. DNA extracted from within RcGTA particles produced by DE442, an RcGTA overproducer, was hybridized to an Affymetrix genechip custom array in order to quantify the relative frequency with which any given gene was packaged within the particles. These data were MAS5 normalized. An underlying packaging bias was suspected to be transcription related, so these frequencies were compared to expression levels within the population, as determined by hybridization of late-stationary RNA samples of DE442 and of the wildtype (SB1003) to the same custom array. These data were RMA normalized.

SigX ECF sigma factor deletion mutant expression profile in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in M9 minimal medium (M9G)

Project description:Analysis of a SigX knockout mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa H103 strain in minimal medium with glucose as carbon source (M9G). SigX, one of the 19 extra-cytoplasmic function sigma factors of P. aeruginosa, was only known to be involved in transcription of the gene encoding the major outer membrane protein OprF in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Deletion of the ECF sigma factor sigX gene provide insights into the SigX role in several virulence and biofilm- related phenotypes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To better understand the cellular function of SigX, a deletion mutant of the sigX gene (PAOSX) was generated and its expression profile was compared with parental strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa H103. To this end, H103 and a sigX mutant were cultured in M9G, in which their growth are similar. Three independant biological replicate were taken for the RNA extraction and hybridization on affymetrix array in the middle of the exponential growth phase.

Characterization of cell density-regulated gene expression of the grass endophyte Azoarcus sp. BH72

Project description:Azoarcus sp. BH72 is able to communicate via cell density-dependent gene regulation. Here, the impact of cell-free conditioned culture supernatants, obtained from stationary phase Azoarcus wild type cultures, on gene expression was investigated determining changes in transcript profiles when early exponential aerobic cultures were incubated with cell-free culture supernatants for one and four hours. Bacterial communication via quorum sensing (QS) is involved in the regulation of several cellular mechanisms such as metabolic processes, microbe-host interactions or biofilm formation. The nitrogen-fixing model endophyte of grasses Azoarcus sp. strain BH72 shows density-dependent gene regulation in the absence of common hydrophobic autoinducers for pilA encoding the structural protein of type IV pili that are essential for plant colonization. Here, we used a transcriptomic approach to identify target genes differentially regulated under QS conditions in conditioned supernatants in comparison to standard growth conditions. Analysis used RNA from the early exponential growth phase as control samples for comparison to the quorum-sensing condition samples taken at one hour and four hours after incubation with cell-free culture supernatants.

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. Three biological replicates of both wild type and rny (cvfA) mutant bacteria were grown in complex medium until the late exponential phase at which point RNA was prepared for microarray analysis on GeneChip S. aureus Genome Array (Affymetrix). Preliminary results indicated that during the late exponential growth phase, the most prominent differences between wild type and rny mutants were observed when selected gene expression was analysed by Northern hybridisation.

Adaption of Dinoroseobacter shibae to anaerobic conditions

Project description:To unravel the adaptation strategies of D. shibae to anaerobic conditions in microaerobic to anaerobic parts of the ocean and to define the underlying regulatory network an anaerobic shift experiment in Salt-Water-Medium in a chemostate was established. Transcriptome analyses were used to investigate the physiological status of D. shibae under this conditions. Dinoroseobacter shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T was grown in a chemostate in saltwater mininmal medium (SWM) mimicking the conditions in the marine habitat under anaerobic conditions. For growth under oxygen depletion the media were supplemented with 50 mM KNO3 to sustain anaerobic respiration. Therefore, D. shibae was grown aerobically in the chemostate until the culture reached the exponential phase, than countinuously cultivaion was started. The dilution rate was 0.1 h-1, establishing the approximate half-maximum growth rate of D. shibae in the exponential phase. The anaerobic shift was initialised after 20 hours by stopping the aeration. The samples were harvested before (as reference) and 30 minutes after stopping the airation. Three biological replica were analyzed. Comparison: Identification of genes induced or repressed under aerobic conditions in the Dinoroseobacter shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T. Here we compared the transcriptome profile of D. shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T grown aerobically in the chemostate in exponential phase with the transcriptome profile of the D. shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T which was grown without aeration for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 and 120 min.

An Ribonuclease T2 Family Protein Modulates Acinetobacter baumannii Abiotic Surface Colonization

Project description:A. baumannii has the propensity to colonize abiotic surfaces and this is thought to mediate its transmission to susceptible patients. We found that disruption of A. baumannii ribonuclease T2 family protein (ATCC 17978 locus A1S_3026) severely diminishes the organism's ability to colonize abiotic surfaces. We used Affymetrix A. baumannii GeneChips (part number PMDACBA1) to compare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic ribonuclease T2 family protein mutant cells. A. baumanni strain 98-37-09 (wild type) or isogenic ACJ7 (harboring a EZ-Tn5 insertion in A1S_3026) cells were grown to mid-exponential phase growth in Luria Burtani medium, total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the regulatory effects of A1S_3026.
