In vivo probing of the DNA-binding Architecture by bacterial arginine repressor

ABSTRACT: Although DNA motifs recognized by the transcription factors (TFs) have been determined, challenges remain in probing in vivo architecture of TF-DNA complexes on a genome-wide scale. Here, we show in vivo architecture of Escherichia coli arginine repressor (ArgR)-DNA complexes using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with sequencing (ChIP-exo). The identified 62 ArgR-binding loci were classified into three groups, comprised of single, double, and triple peak-pairs, respectively. Each peak-pair has unique 93 bp-long (±2 bp) ArgR-binding sequence containing two ARG boxes (39 bp) and residual sequence. Moreover, the peak-pairs provided the three ArgR-binding modes defined by the position of the two ARG boxes, indicating that the formation of DNA bending apparently centered between the pair of ARG boxes facilitates the non-specific contacts between ArgR subunits and the residual sequences. Thus, our data postulate the in vivo architecture of ArgR-DNA complexes to understand its transcription regulatory mechanism. ChIP-exo profiles of ArgR (+Arginine) and ArgR (-Arginine) were generated by deep sequencing in duplicates using Illumina MiSeq.

DNA-binding motifs that are recognized by transcription factors (TFs) have been well studied; however, challenges remain in determining the in vivo architecture of TF-DNA complexes on a genome-scale. Here, we determined the in vivo architecture of Escherichia coli arginine repressor (ArgR)-DNA complexes using high-throughput sequencing of exonuclease-treated chromatin-immunoprecipitated DNA (ChIP-exo). The ChIP-exo has a unique peak-pair pattern indicating 5' and 3' ends of ArgR-binding region. ...[more]

Project description:Analysis of the response to arginine of the Escherichia coli K-12 transcriptome by microarray hybridization and real-time quantitative PCR provides a first coherent quantitative picture of the ArgR-mediated repression of arginine biosynthesis and uptake genes. Transcriptional repression was shown to be the major control mechanism of the biosynthetic genes, leaving only limited room for additional transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulations. The art genes coding for the specific arginine uptake system are subject to ArgR-mediated repression, ; with a strong repression of artJ, coding for the periplasmic binding protein of the system. The hisJQMP genes of the histidine transporter (part of the LAO uptake system) were discovered to be a part of the arginine regulon. Analysis of their control region with reporter gene fusions and electrophoretic mobility shift in the presence of pure ArgR repressor showed the involvement in repression of the ArgR protein and of an ARG box 120 bp upstream of hisJ. No repression of the genes of the AO uptake system was observed. Finally, comparing the time course of arginine repression of gene transcription with the evolution of the specific ; activities of the cognate enzymes showed that while full genetic repression was achieved two minutes after arginine addition, enzyme concentrations were diluted at the rate of cell ; division. This emphasizes the importance of the feedback-inhibition of the first enzymatic ; step of the pathway in controlling the metabolic flow through the biosynthesis in the period following the onset of repression. Experiment Overall Design: 3 groups of 3 replicate samples were analyzed: Experiment Overall Design: (1) Wild type on minimal medium (strain P4X, slides 1753, 1765, 1989), this created a reference condition Experiment Overall Design: (2) Wild type grown in the presence of arginine (strain P4X plus 100Âµg/ml of arginine, slides 1754, 1766, 1990), this gave a list of all the genes repressed by the system: ArgR+arginine Experiment Overall Design: (3) Mutant where no active repressor is present; grown in the presence of arginine (strain P4XB2 (argR-) plus 100Âµg/ml arginine, slides 1992, 1993, 1994). This condition told us which genes are indeed regulated by the system: ArgR+arginine. Those genes are in this case derepressed.
