Wild-type yeast vs Desl1/Desl2 mutant strain

ABSTRACT: Transcript profiling of the double Desl1/Desl2 mutant versus wild-type growning at log phase in rich meda. During its natural life cycle, budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has to adapt to drastically changing environments, but how environmental sensing pathways are linked to adaptive gene expression changes remains incompletely understood. Here, we describe two closely related yeast hEST1A-B (SMG5-6)-like proteins termed Esl1 and Esl2 that contain a 14-3-3-like domain and a putative PIN ribonuclease domain. We found that, unlike their metazoan orthologues, Esl1/2 were not involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or telomere maintenance pathways. However, in genome-wide expression array analyses, absence of Esl1 and Esl2 led to >2-fold deregulation of ~50 transcripts, most of which were expressed inversely to the appropriate metabolic response to environmental nutrient supply; for instance, normally glucose-repressed genes were de-repressed in esl1M-NM-^T esl2M-NM-^T double mutants during growth in a high-glucose environment. Likewise, in a genome-wide synthetic gene array screen, esl1M-NM-^T esl2M-NM-^T double mutants were synthetic sick with null mutations for Rim8 and Dfg16, which form the environmental sensing complex of the Rim101 pH response gene expression pathway. Overall, these results suggest that Esl1 and Esl2 contribute to the regulation of adaptive gene expression responses of environmental sensing pathways. 3 biological replicates of each strain (wt & mutant) were analysed by competitive hybridisation. One dye-swap exeperiment was additionally performed.

Project description:Total transcriptome analyses were carried out to investigate changes in transcript patterns in the Mycobacterium smegmatis wild type strain SMR5 due to nitrogen starvation and to expand the knowledge about the role of the two transcriptional regulators of nitrogen metabolism, namely GlnR and AmtR, in these processes. A first experiment revealed enhanced transcript levels of 284 genes and reduced transcripts of 231 genes in the wild type under nitrogen starvation compared to nitrogen surplus. When glnR deletion strain MH1 was compared to the wild type under nitrogen starvation, decreased transcript levels of 125 genes were detected, indicating that these are activated by GlnR due to nitrogen limitation. Comparing amtR deletion strain YL1 to the wild type under nitrogen starvation, enhanced transcript levels of 2 genes were found, indicating that they are repressed by AmtR under nitrogen surplus. A comparison of YL1 and wild type under surplus, as well as a comparison of YL1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation and of MH1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation were carried out as additional control experiments. It can be concluded that GlnR is the master regulator of nitrogen control in M. smegmatis and that AmtR fulfills only a small, subordinate role in the regulation of an operon. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30033: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of glnR deletion strain MH1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation GSE30231: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 and amtR deletion strain YL1 under nitrogen starvation GSE30232: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of amtR deletion strain YL1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation GSE30233: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 under nitrogen surplus and starvation GSE30234: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 and glnR deletion strain MH1 under nitrogen starvation GSE30235: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 and amtR deletion strain YL1 under nitrogen surplus Refer to individual Series

Project description:LuxS is an enzyme involved in the activated methyl cycle. The by-product of this cycle, autoinducer 2 (AI-2), could be an important quorum sensing signal. LuxS was conserved and regulated many behaviors in different bacteria, but in most species, whether the regulations are related to AI-2 mediated quorum sensing is still unknown. In our previous study, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the etiologic agent of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia, was found to possess the functional LuxS affecting biofilm formation and virulence. In this study, microarray was used to compare the transcriptional profiles of the A. pleuropneumoniae wildtype strain 4074, luxS mutant and its AI-2 supplemented strain in four different growth phases. The results demonstrated that both LuxS and AI-2 played important roles in metabolism of this bacterium. AI-2 did not recover the gene expression changes caused by luxS deletion but caused more extensive metabolic alterations in the luxS mutant in a concentration dependent manner. Regulations of the genes involved in iron metabolism, carbonhydrate transport and host cell adhesion were validated by real-time RT-PCR and phenotypic investigations under different conditions. The results demonstrated that sugar uptake was repressed by LuxS independent of AI-2. However, iron metabolism, an important process of infection for A. pleuropneumoniae, could be controlled by LuxS through AI-2. Adhesion to host cells was also affected by LuxS and AI-2, but exogenous AI-2 displayed more obvious effects. Our results indicated that both LuxS and AI-2 are essential in the metabolism of A. pleuropneumoniae. The function of LuxS/AI-2 displayed pleiotropic roles in different conditions. AI-2 may not serve as a quorum sensing autoinducer but a metabolite or an environmental cue to affect the metabolism and virulence traits of this important pathogen. A. pleuropneumoniae strains were cultured in TSB medium supplemented with 10 M-NM-<g/ml of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and 10% (v/v) filtered cattle serum at 37M-BM-0C. For samples from the mutant supplemented with AI-2, 100M-NM-<M and 25M-NM-<M AI-2 precursor (DPD) were added into the medium before early exponential phase as well as one hour before late exponential phase to cover the whole growth phase respectively. The samples were collected from early, middle, late exponential phase and stationary phase respectively and the total RNA were extracted using RNA-Solv Reagent (Omega) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. For each time point, four biological replicates were combined into two samples. The intensities were normalized and transformed into log2 value. The values for each time point were averaged and the genes with log2 ratio >=1 or <=-1 were selected as differentially expressed genes.
