Saccharomyces cerevisiae sorted and untreated

ABSTRACT: Gene expression of a vital, stained and sorted subpopulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with high affinity to glucose, harvested at a dilution rate of D=0.160 h-1, and of cells from the whole population without further treatment grown at the same dilution rate were analysed. The isolation of RNA was accomplished by using lyticase to lyse the cells and the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit with some modifications within the manufacturers´ protocol. 6 µg of the total RNA per sample was used for each microarray experiments. The indirect labelling by the tyramide-signal-amplification method (MicromaxTM TSATM labelling and detection Kit from Perkin Elmer life sciences) was used to increase the Cy3 and Cy5 signals of microarray detection. Each cDNA containing Biotin- and Fluorescein-nucleotides respectively was purified with a QIAquick PCR purification kit and suspended in 11 µl of the formamide containing hybridization buffer. The slides were hybridized at 42°C over night under a cover slip. The microarrays were scanned by the Axon 4000B scanner; image intensity data were extracted and analysed with GenePix® Pro 6.0 software. Data from different scans of Dye-swap experiment were extracted by GenePix Pro 6.0 software, normalized and united. An outliertest has been applied in order to find outliers amongst the gene replicats. Subsequently, a t-test (1% and 5% probability of error) has been used in order to find regulated genes. Microarray experiments were realised with dye swap and cDNA labelling was proceeded in loop design.

Characterizing and understanding the functional heterogeneity in a given population on the cellular and molecular level is a great challenge in microbiology. Each microorganism contributes differently to the overall performance of the community and responds differently to changing microenvironmental conditions. Here, we present a method for isolation of intact RNA out of small subpopulations of live Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells for differential gene expression analysis. The protocol includes f ...[more]

Project description:Enteric pathogens have developed several resistance mechanisms to survive the antimicrobial action of bile. We investigated the transcriptional profile of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strain C6706 under virulence gene inducing conditions, in the presence and absence of bile. Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of 119 genes was affected by bile. The mRNA levels of genes encoding proteins involved in transport was increased in the presence of bile, whereas mRNA levels of genes encoding proteins involved in pathogenesis and chemotaxis was decreased. This study identified genes encoding transcriptional regulators from the TetR family (vexR and breR) and multidrug efflux pumps from the RND superfamily (vexB and vexD [here renamed breB]) that were induced in response to bile. Further analysis regarding vexAB and breAB expression in the presence of various antimicrobial compounds established that vexAB was induced in the presence of bile, SDS or novobiocin, whereas induction of breAB was specific to bile. BreR is a direct repressor of the breAB promoter and is able to autoregulate its own expression, as demonstrated by transcriptional and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Expression of breR and breAB is induced in the presence of the bile salts cholate, deoxycholate or chenodeoxycholate and EMSA showed that deoxycholate is able to abolish formation of BreR-PbreR complexes. We propose that deoxycholate is able to interact with BreR and induce a conformational change that will interfere with its DNA binding ability resulting in breAB and breR expression. These results provide new insight into a transcriptional regulator and a transport system that likely play an essential role in the ability of Vibrio cholerae to resist the action of bile in the host. Keywords: Vibrio cholerae response to bile Three independent experiments were performed for the microarray analysis. From each experiment, RNA was obtained from four different time points and was prepared for hybridization, therefore, a total of 3 slides were analyzed per time point. The growth conditions were as follows; C6706 str2 was grown 15 h in LB medium at 30 degrees C with aeration. The cultures were then diluted 100-fold into AKI medium with, or without, 0.4% crude bile (high bile concentration) and were grown at 37degrees C for 3.5 h stationary followed by 2 h with aeration to induce virulence gene expression. Then the cultures were diluted 100-fold into AKI medium with, or without, 0.02% crude bile (low bile concentration) and were grown at 37 degrees C for 2 h stationary. Samples were obtained from 4 different time points: 2, 4, and 5.5 h from the high bile cultures, and at 2 h from the low bile cultures.
