NusA-dependent Transcription Termination Prevents Global Misregulation of Gene Expression

ABSTRACT: Canonical bacterial intrinsic terminators do not require additional factors for efficient transcription termination, although the general transcription elongation factor NusA was known to increase the termination efficiency slightly in vitro. We found that the effect of NusA varies widely among different terminators and identified a subclass of weak non-canonical terminators that largely depend on NusA for recognition by RNA polymerase. Using genome-wide 3â end-mapping on an engineered Bacillus subtilis NusA depletion strain, we identified >2000 intrinsic terminators, hundreds of which are NusA-dependent. Our in vitro and in vivo characterization showed that terminators with weak RNA hairpins and distal U-tract interruptions tend to be NusA-dependent. Our observations indicate that the lethality associated with deletion of nusA is caused by global readthrough of NusA-dependent terminators, resulting in misregulation of physiologically important downstream genes. We also show that nusA expression is autoregulated by a transcription attenuation mechanism that is mediated by NusA-dependent termination. 3' end-mapping and mRNA profiling of stationary phase B. subtilis NusA-depletion (PLBS802) strain in NusA expressing and depleted conditions, 6 replicates each.

ChIP-seq of RNase J1 null strain

Project description:RNase J1 is the first nuclease with 5’-3’ exonuclease activity in bacteria and plays an important role in the maturation and degradation of mRNA. RNase J1 could also play a role in transcription termination of aberrant complexes. RNase J1 could bind to nascent RNA in such complexes, degrade the nascent RNA, and upon catching up with RNA polymerase (RNAP) dissociate the complex. Similar model was showed in eukaryotes. We did ChIP-seq to confirm our hypothesis.

Deep proteogenomics of Bacillus subtilis provides insights into function and evolution of bacterial organism

Project description:"Bacillus subtilis is an aerobic, endospore forming, rod-shaped Gram-positive bacterium. It has a relatively small genome of 4,215,606 bp with 4,197 protein coding genes. It is considered a model organism to study natural phenomena, such as chromosome replication, sporulation or swarming motility. Furthermore, many bacterial pathogens are closely related to B. subtilis, making it a highly significant system for research on potential targets for drug therapeutics. Although B. subtilis is among the best characterised bacterial systems, many of its gene products are still non-annotated, completely uncharacterised and/or their post-translational landscape is unknown. In the current study we aim at broadening the available information on Bacillus subtilis by providing a comprehensive resource for the microbial community encompassing a wide array of information at the genome, proteome, phosphoproteome and acetylome level."

RNA-seq of Bacillus subtilis (i) sigI-rsgI knock-out strain, (ii) rsgI disrupted strain, and (iii) wt strains during growth at 52°C and 37°C

Project description:The aim of the experiments was to determine the regulon of the Bacillus subtilis alternative sigma factor SigI. Biological relevance: To expand our knowledge about Bacillus subtilis transcriptional network under unfavorable conditions. Experimental workflow overview: Bacillus subtilis 168 trp+ (BaSysBio) was used as the genetic background. (i) sigI-rsgI knock-out, (ii) rsgI knock-out, and (iii) wr strains were cultured in LB medium to mid-exponential phase at 37°C and 52°C. Total RNA was isolated from 3 ml of the culture. rRNA was depleted from the samples with RiboMinus; subsequently RNA-seq libraries were prepared (Illumina compatible NEXTflex Rapid Directional RNA-Seq Kit, Bioo Scientific) and sequenced at the EMBL GeneCore facility. The experiment was performed in three independent replicates.

RNA-seq of Bacillus subtilis wild type and RNase J1 null strains

Project description:RNase J1 is the first nuclease with 5-3 exonuclease activity in bacteria and plays an important role in the maturation and degradation of mRNA. Absence of RNase J1 in cells has effect on cell morphology and growth rate. We did RNA-seq of Bacillus subtilis wild type and RNase J1 null strains (triplicates) to obtain more information about cellular role of this nuclease in cells. Complmentary ChIP-seq data have also been deposited in ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-5659 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5659 ).

Rho and NusG suppress pervasive antisense transcription in Escherichia coli [tiling array].

Project description:Despite the prevalence of antisense transcripts in bacterial transcriptomes, little is known about how their synthesis is controlled. We report that a major function of the Escherichia coli termination factor Rho and its co-factor NusG is suppression of ubiquitous antisense transcription genome-wide. Rho binds C-rich unstructured nascent RNA (high C/G ratio) prior to its ATP-dependent dissociation of transcription complexes. NusG is required for efficient termination at minority subsets (~20%) of both antisense and sense Rho-dependent terminators with lower C/G ratio sequences. In contrast, a widely studied nusA deletion proposed to compromise Rho-dependent termination had no effect on antisense or sense Rho-dependent terminators in vivo. Global co-localization of the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS with Rho-dependent terminators and genetic interactions between hns and rho suggest that H-NS aids Rho in suppression of antisense transcription. The combined actions of Rho, NusG, and H-NS appear to be analogous to the Sen1-Nrd1-Nab3 and nucleosome systems that suppress antisense transcription in eukaryotes. Tiling expression microarray experiments were performed in cells treated with 20 ug/ml bicyclomycin or cells deleted for nusG, or a partial deletion of nusA. Labeled cDNAs were hybridized to an E. coli K-12 MG1655 tiling array with overlapping probes at ~12bp spacing across the entire genome. The series contains 14 datasets.

Differentially labeled ChIP DNA and genomic DNA were competitively hybridized to an E. coli K-12 MG1655 tiling array with overlapping probes at ~12bp spacing across the entire genome. The series contains 12 datasets.
