Vanillin derivatives triggers oxidative stress and inhibit mitochondrial functions in Cryptococcus neoformans

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to define the mechanism of antifungal action of the vanillin derivative, o-vanillin, against Cryptococcus neoformans Methods: mRNA profiles of C. neoformasn cells cultured with or without o-vanillin were generated by RNA-Seq, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to reference genome and the normalized RPKM values were calculated by CLC Genomics Workbench. Results: o-vanillin significantly altered global transcript profiles, induces oxidative stress, and interferes mitochondrial functions in C. neoformans. Conclusions: o-vanillin can be considered as the effective antifungal drug candidate. mRNA profiles of the cells grown in the presence or absence of o-vanillin were generated by RNA-Seq using Illumina GAIIx.

A defect in iron uptake enhances the susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans to azole antifungal drugs.

Project description:Transcriptome profiling of wild type and cfo1 mutant with fluconazole treatment in Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii H99 Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare cfo1 mutant transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to wild-type with or without fluconazole treatment in Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii H99. Methods: mRNA profiles of wild-type and cfo1 mutant with or without fluconazole treatment were generated by RNA-Seq, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to reference genome and the normalized RPKM values were calculated by CLC Genomics Workbench. Results: Compared to wild-type, a number of genes were differentially expressed in the cfo1 mutant, especially genes involved in iron homeostasis and transport, ergosterol biosynthesis, mitochondrial function and respiration. Conclusions: Our data suggested reduced expression of the genes in the respiratory chain is the main reason for altered antifungal sensitivity of the cfo1 mutant. The results of our study revealed that iron uptake plays a key role in fluconazole sensitivity of C. neoformans. mRNA profiles of wild-type and cfo1 mutant with fluconazole treatment were generated by RNA-Seq, using Illumina GAIIx.

Transcriptome analysis of cryptococcal IPK mutants

Project description:In eukaryotes, inositol polyphosphates perform essential metabolic and signaling functions. Using human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans as a model, we created mutants in three inositol polyphosphates kinases: Arg1, Ipk1 and Kcs1. Each of the mutants produces a unique repertoire of inositol polyphosphates, different from the wild type strain. Comparative phenotypic and transcriptome analyses of wild type and mutant strains indicates that inositol polyphosphate PP-IP5 (IP7) is the key regulator of gene expression, fitness and virulence in C. neoformans. Comparison of WT and mutants (Darg1, Dkcs1 and Dipk1) grown in broth culture in the absence of stress.

Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1 : Wild-type cell harboring plasmid (pAST2) in nutrient media

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. oleivorans DR1 cells harboring pAST2. Plasmid pAST2 is a tetracycline-resistance plasmid which was isolated from activated sludge (Hong et al., 2014). The complete plasmid sequence was deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank under accession number KC734561 [PMID: 24337108]. Acquisition of TC resistance through plasmid uptake is related to loss of biological fitness and affected host gene expression in oil-degrading soil bacterium, Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1. To identify genes in A. oleivorans DR1 harboring pAST2, the cells were grown to exponential phase (OD600 ~0.4) and total RNA was extracted using an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions.

Dnj4HA AP-MS in Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:Proteins which act as histone chaperones ensure genomic integrity during routine processes such as DNA replication and transcription as well as DNA repair upon damage. Herein, we identify a nuclear J domain protein, Dnj4, which interacts with histones 3 and 4 as well as Hsp71 as demonstrated in an AP-MS experiment suggesting that it integrates the heat shock chaperone machinery into histone chaperoning. In support of this, a deletion mutant lacking DNJ4 had higher levels of DNA damage than the wild type or complemented strains and was hypersensitive to DNA damaging agents. The transcriptional response to DNA damage in a mutant lacking DNJ4 was impaired. Genes related to DNA damage and iron homeostasis functions were up-regulated in the wild type strain in response to hydroxyurea treatment, however their up-regulation was either absent or reduced in a dnj4∆ mutant. Accordingly, excess iron rescued the mutant’s growth in response to hydroxyurea treatment. Iron homeostasis is crucial for virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans, however Dnj4 was found to be dispensable for virulence in a mouse model of cryptococcosis. Finally, we confirmed a conserved role of Dnj4 in histone chaperoning by expressing it in S. cerevisiae and showing that it disrupted endogenous histone chaperoning. Altogether, this study highlights the importance of a JDP co-chaperone in histone chaperoning in C. neoformans.
