Bacteria modify their expression of different terminal oxidases in response to oxygen availability. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a facultative anaerobic bacterium of the phylum Actinobacteria, possesses aa3 -type cytochrome c oxidase and cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidase, the latter of which is induced by oxygen limitation. We report that an extracytoplasmic function σ factor, σ(C) , is responsible for the regulation of this process. Chromatin immunoprecipitation with microarray analysis detected ...[more]

Project description:Bacteria modify expression of different types of terminal oxidase in response to oxygen availability. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a facultative anaerobic bacterium in Actinobacteria, possesses aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase and cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidase, the latter of which is induced upon oxygen limitation. We report here that an extracytoplasmic function sigma factor, SigC, is unprecedentedly responsible for the regulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation in conjunction with microarray (ChIP-chip) analysis detected eight SigC-binding regions in the genome, leading to identification of a consensus promoter sequence for SigC recognition. The promoter sequences were found upstream of genes for cytochrome bd, heme a synthesis enzymes, and uncharacterized membrane proteins, all of which were upregulated by sigC overexpression. In contrast, that found on the antisense strand upstream of an operon encoding the cytochrome bc1 complex conferred a SigC-dependent negative effect on the operon expression. The SigC regulon was induced by cytochrome aa3 deficiency without modification of expression of sigC itself, but not by deficiency of the bc1 complex. These findings suggest that SigC is activated in response to impairment of electron transfer via cytochrome aa3, not directly to shift in oxygen levels. Our results provide a novel paradigm for transcriptional regulation of the aerobic respiratory system in bacteria. ChIP-chip analyses using a strain expressing the FLAG-tagged SigC in the background of the wild type at two growth phases (exporenatial and stationary phases). Two independent experiments were performed.

Gene expression profile of the wild type at the exponential phase was compared with that of the sigC deletion mutant. Two indepent experiments using two independent mutants were performed.

Project description:The Corynebacterium glutamicum R cgR_1959 gene encodes an endoribonuclease of the RNase III family. Deletion mutant of cgR_1959 (Îrnc mutant) showed an elongated cell shape, and presence of several lines on the cell surface, indicating a required of RNase III for maintaining normal cell morphology in C. glutamicum. The level of mraZ mRNA was increased, whereas cgR_1596 mRNA encoding a putative cell wall hydrolase and ftsEX mRNA were decreased in the Îrnc mutant. The half-life of mraZ mRNA was significantly prolonged in the Îrnc and the Îpnp mutant strains. This indicated that the degradation of mraZ mRNA was performed by RNase III and the 3â²-to-5â² exoribonuclease, PNPase. Northern hybridization and primer extension analysis revealed that the cleavage site for mraZ mRNA by RNase III is in the coding region. Overproduction of MraZ resulted in an elongated cell shape. The expression of ftsEX decreased while that of cgR_1596 unchanged in an MraZ-overexpressing strain. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay and a transcriptional reporter assay indicate that MraZ is a transcriptional repressor of ftsEX in C. glutamicum. These results indicate that RNase III is required for efficient expression of MraZ-dependent ftsEX and MraZ-independent cgR_1596. Gene expression profile of the wild type at the exponential phase was compared with that of the rnc mutant. Three indepent experiments were performed.

Project description:To identify novel molecular targets for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling. We purified 30 surgically resected breast cancer tissue diagnosed triple negative by means of immunohistochemical staining and 13 normal mammary ductal cells with lasermicrobeam microdissection system (PALM MicroBeam, Carl Zeiss MicroImaging Co., Ltd), performed whole human genome microarray, and compared gene expression levels of TNBC, normal mammary ductal cells, and normal vital organs to develop molecular targets with a minimum risk. Gene expression levels of 30 TNBC, 13 normal mammary ductal cells, and 4 normal vital tissues were evaluated. to clarify the molecular mechanism involved in TNBC, we analyzed gene expression profiles of 30 TNBC as well as 13 normal epithelial ductal cells purified by laser microbeam microdissection, and identified 301 transcripts that were significantly up-regulated and 321 transcripts that were significantly down-regulated in TNBC. In addition, gene-expression profiles analysis of normal human vital organs including heart, lung, liver, and kidney allowed us to identify 90 cancer-specific genes involved in breast carcinogenesis such as NEK2, PBK, DTL, MELK and GPSM2. Among them, we focused on cell cycle regulators, asp (abnormal spindle) homolog, microcephaly associated (Drosophila) (ASPM) and centromere protein K (CENPK) as novel therapeutic targets for TNBC.

Project description:The transcriptional regulator GntR1 downregultates the genes for gluconate catabolism and pentose phosphate pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Gluconate lowers the DNA binding affinity of GntR1, which is probably the mechanism of gluconate-dependent induction of these genes. In addition, GntR1 positively regulates the ptsG, a gene encoding for a major glucose transporter, and the pck, a gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Here, we searched for the new target of GntR1 at genome-wide scale by chromatin immunoprecipitation in conjunction with microarray (ChIP-chip) analysis. This analysis identified 56 in vivo GntR1 binding sites, of which 7 sites were previously reported. The newly identified GntR1 sites include the upstream regions of carbon metabolism genes such as pyk, maeB, gapB, and icd. Binding of GntR1 to the promoter region of these genes was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. The activity of the icd, gapB, and maeB promoters were reduced by the mutation at GntR1 binding site in contrast to the pyk promoter activity increased, indicating that GntR1 is a transcriptional activator of icd, gapB, and maeB and is a repressor of pyk. Thus, it is likely that GntR1 stimulates glucose uptake by inducing the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) gene while repressing pyk to increase PEP availability in the absence of gluconate. Repression of zwf and gnd may reduce NADPH supply which may be compensated by the induction of maeB, and icd. Upregulation of icd, gapB, and maeB and downregulation of pyk by GntR1 probably supports gluconeogenesis. ChIP-chip analyses using strain carrying FLAG-tagged gntR1 in the background of the wild type. Biological replicates: 2 replicates.

Project description:Increase of fecal hazardous compounds and decrease of butyrate-producing bacteria has been implicated to be detrimental to colonic health during weight loss by high-protein diet in human. The question remains that whether the change of luminal microenvironment were paralleled with the alteration of colonic function in vivo.To reveal the change of gene expression involved in metabolic or immmunological process, we have employed the whole genome microarray profiling to identify differentially expressed genes in rat dietary normal protein (20% protein) or high protein (45% protein) diet. Colonic epithelium were sampled in adult male wistar rats (weighing 180-200g) fed each diet for six weeks.Each group contained six replicates.A total of 181 transcripts were significantly changed: 88 genes were up-regulated and 93 genes were down-regulated in high protein compared with normal protein rats. Transcriptome analysis identified the upregulation of chemotaxis, TNF-α signal process, antigen presentation, apoptosis, glutathione S-transferase activity and downregulation of innate immune, O-linked glycosylation of mucin, oxidative phosphorylation.Expression of ten genes, including calmodulin1,acetyl-CoA acyltransferase 2,isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase and occludin, were quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR, validating the microarray analysis. Colonic gene expression was measured in male wistar rat (weighing 180-200g) after dietary normal protein or high protein diet for six weeks. Six replicates in each group were analyzed.
