Project description:The transcriptional regulator Mga of Streptococcus pyogenes (the group A streptococcus, GAS) is known to directly activate several virulence genes important for colonization and immune evasion during exponential growth. Transcriptome analysis comparing two mga-1 serotypes (M1 SF370, M6 JRS4) and one mga-2 serotype (M4 GA40634) against their isogenic mga-inactivated strains uncovered a broader Mga regulon profile containing both activated and repressed genes with predicted functions primarily related to the uptake and metabolism of sugars. Although the divergent M1 and M4 Mga profiles were similar in size and content, the M6 JRS4 strain was clearly distinct, even from other M6 strains. Real-time RT-PCR and northern blot analysis validated our microarray results and confirmed that established core Mga regulon genes directly activated by Mga (emm, scpA, sof, fba) exhibited the highest activation levels across all strains tested. A novel ORF (Spy2036) encoding a cytosolic hypothetical protein was highly activated in all three serotypes and was called gene regulated by Mga or grm. Mga was shown to bind directly to Pgrm, which overlaps the Mga-regulated Psof in OF+ strains, suggesting that grm is part of the core Mga regulon and is able to activate two divergently transcribed genes from a single site in a class II background. Both class and serotype specific Mga-regulated genes, such as speB, were apparent. In fact, Mga activated speB as long as it was expressed in the wild type strain, although direct binding of Mga to the PspeB promoter could not be demonstrated. Thus, Mga is able to both directly and indirectly regulate genes shown to be important for virulence and the metabolic homeostasis of GAS. Keywords: Wild-type vs Mga-

Project description:Glycosylation is an abundant post-translational modification of both intracellular and extracellular proteins [1]. The majority of glycans are classified as N-linked chains, where the carbohydrate moiety is attached to asparagine residues, or O-linked chains, most commonly linked to a serine or threonine. N-linked glycosylation is initiated by the oligosaccharyltransferase complex with only two paralogs of the catalytic subunit, whereas O-glycan initiation is more complex. There are several types of O-linked glycosylation, but among the most diverse is the mucin or GalNAc type (hereafter referred to as O-glycosylation). O-glycosylation is initiated by 20 evolutionarily conserved polypeptide GalNAc-transferases (GalNAc-Ts), which catalyze the first step in the O-glycosylation of proteins by adding GalNAc residues to threonine, serine, and tyrosine amino acids (Fig 1A). Each of the GalNAc-Ts are differentially expressed in various tissues and have both distinct and overlapping peptide substrate specificities [2-12]. Thus, the repertoire of GalNAc-Ts expressed in a given cell determines the subset and O-glycosite pattern of glycosylated proteins [13]. Substantial efforts have been made to characterize and predict the substrate specificities of GalNAc-Ts in vitro, but understanding of the in vivo specificities of the individual GalNAc-Ts or their biological functions is limited [13-15]. This lack of insight prevents an understanding of how site-specific O-linked glycosylation affects diseases, such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and various malignancies, that have been associated with GalNAc-Ts through genome-wide association studies and other linkage studies [16-26]. Therefore, it is imperative that we establish how O-glycosylation at specific sites in proteins affects protein function. A major task in achieving this goal is to identify the non-redundant biological functions of site-specific O-glycosylation. We and others recently developed new strategies for identifying specific sites on proteins that undergo O-glycosylation in different cell types and tissues [27-31]. Characterization of the O-glycoproteomic landscape in isolated human cells and multiple human cell lines suggests that more than 80 % of all proteins that traffic through the secretory pathway are O-glycoproteins [28, 30]. Probing the non-redundant contributions of individual GalNAc-Ts in cells with and without specific GalNAc-Ts [32-34] has revealed broad substrate specificities for some of the individual isoforms, whereas others seem to have very restricted substrate specificities [33-35]. Assessing all of the mapped O-glycosylation sites to identify associations between O-glycosites and protein annotations, we recently found that O-glycans are over-represented close to tandem repeat regions, protease cleavage sites, within propeptides, and on a select group of protein domains [28, 30, 36]. Although such general associations between the location of O-glycans and protein functions may direct future investigations, the strategy does not define the function of site-specific glycosylation. Further progress in discovering and defining novel functions of site-specific glycosylation events requires direct quantitative analysis of potential biological responses induced by the loss of distinct GalNAc-T isoforms, and such biological responses are not easily observed in single cell culture systems. Instead, more complex model systems can be used to examine and dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the important biological functions of site-specific glycosylation. We previously used an organotypic tissue model equipped with genetically engineered cells to decipher the function of elongated O-glycans [29]. In the present study, we use the model combined with quantitative O-glycoproteomics and phosphoproteomics to perform open-ended discovery of the biological functions of site-specific glycosylation governed by GalNAc-Ts (Fig 1B). With this combinatorial strategy, we demonstrate that loss of individual GalNAc-T isoforms has distinct phenotypic consequences through their effect on distinct biological pathways, suggesting specific roles during epithelial formation.

Project description:The objective of the current study was to understand the glutaraldehyde resistance mechanisms in P. fluorescens and P. aeruginosa biofilms. Glutaraldehyde is a common biocide used in various industries to control the microbial growth. Recent reports of emergence of glutaraldehyde resistance in several bacterial species motivated this study to understand the genetic factors responsible got glutaraldehyde resistance. Using a combination of phenotypic assays, chemical genetic assays and RNA-seq, we demonstrate that novel efflux pump, polyamine biosynthesis, lipid biosynthesis and phosphonate degradation play significant role in glutaraldehyde resistance and post-glutaraldehyde recovery of Psudomonad biofilms. Examination of P. fluorescens 72 h biofilm transcriptome was elucidated upon exposure to glutaraldehyde. The results were confirmed using qRT--PCR and chemical genetic appraoches in P. fluorescens and P. aeruginosa.
