Project description:P388D1 murine macrophages were cultured in 85 mm tissue culture plates to about semi confluency. L. monocytogenes serotypes (1/2a EGD-e, 4a L99, 4b CLIP80459 and 4b F2365) were infected to the P388D1 cell monolayer at a MOI of 100 per eukaryotic cell. Infection was carried for 45 min and followed by addition of fresh medium containing 20 M-5g/ml gentamicin. The medium of the plates (containing 20 M-5g/ml gentamicin) infected with L. monocytogenes serotypes were replaced after 2 h post infection with fresh medium containing 50 M-5g/ml gentamicin. At each step the plates were washed extensively with 1x PBS. Incubation of the bacterial tissue culture plates was carried out in a humidified incubator for up to 4 h post infection.
Project description:Background: The ribosome assembly factors PNO1 and NOB1 play crucial roles in the maturation of the 40S ribosomal small subunit. TurboID is an efficient biotin ligase that can biotinylate proteins in proximity to the target protein and is widely used to study complex biological processes within cells.Here, we utilized this technology to investigate the complex interaction network of PNO1 and NOB1 within cells.
Project description:Thermomacidophilic archaea, such as Metallosphaera sedula, are lithoautotrophs that occupy metal-rich environments. In previous studies, a M. sedula mutant lacking the primary copper efflux transporter, CopA, became copper sensitive. In contrast, the basis for supra-normal copper resistance remained unclear in the spontaneous M. sedula mutant, CuR1. Here, transcriptomic analysis of copper-shocked cultures indicated that CuR1 had a unique regulatory response to metal challenge corresponding to up-regulation of 55 genes. Genome re-sequencing identified 17 confirmed mutations unique to CuR1 that were likely to change gene function. Of these, 12 mapped to genes with annotated function associated with transcription, metabolism or transport. These mutations included 7 non-synonymous substitutions, 4 insertions and 1 deletion. One of the insertion mutations mapped to pseudogene, Msed_1517, and extended its reading frame an additional 209 amino acids. The extended mutant allele was identified as a homolog of Pho4, a family of phosphate symporters that include the bacterial PitA proteins. Orthologs of this allele were apparent in related extremely thermoacidophilic species, suggesting M. sedula was naturally lacking this gene. Phosphate transport studies combined with physiologic analysis demonstrated M. sedula PitA was a low affinity high velocity secondary transporter implicated in copper resistance and arsenate sensitivity. Genetic analysis demonstrated spontaneous arsenate resistant mutants derived from CuR1 all underwent mutation in pitA and non-selectively became copper resistant. Taken together, these results point to archaeal PitA as a key requirement for the increased metal resistance of strain CuR1 and its accelerated capacity for copper bioleaching. The study comprises 5 samples, described in detail below. WT_CuR1: Differential transcriptional response of Metallosphaera sedula DSM 5348, WT, to the supra-normal copper resistant spontaneous Metallosphaera sedula mutant, CuR1 under normal growth conditions.

This experiment was done to analyze the differential transcription of Metallosphaera sedula WT 15 and 60 minutes post copper challenge. The copper cultures were harvested 15 and 60 minutes after the shock, respectively. CuR1-15_CuR1-60: Differential transcription of Metallosphaera cells under sub-inhibitory copper challenge (2.0 mM). This experiment was done to analyze the differential transcription of Metallosphaera sedula CuR1 15 and 60 minutes post copper challenge.
