The ResD response regulator activates transcription of diverse genes in Bacillus subtilis in response to oxygen limitation. ResD regulon genes that are the most highly induced during nitrate respiration include the nitrite reductase operon (nasDEF) and the flavohemoglobin gene (hmp), whose products function in nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. Transcription of these genes is also under the negative control of the NO-sensitive NsrR repressor. Recent studies showed that the NsrR regulon contains genes ...[more]

Project description:Bacterial Gre factors associate with RNA polymerase (RNAP) and stimulate intrinsic cleavage of the nascent transcript at the active site of RNAP. Biochemical and genetic studies to date have shown that E. coli Gre factors prevent transcriptional arrest during elongation and enhance transcription fidelity. Furthermore, Gre factors participate in stimulation of promoter escape and suppression of promoter-proximal pausing during beginning of RNA synthesis in E. coli. Although Gre factors are conserved in general bacteria, limited functional studies have been performed in bacteria other than E. coli. In this investigation, ChAP-chip analysis was conducted to visualize the distribution of B. subtilis GreA on the chromosome and determine the effects of GreA inactivation on core RNAP trafficking. Our data show that GreA is uniformly distributed in the transcribed region from the promoter to coding region with core RNAP, and its inactivation induces RNAP accumulation at many promoter or promoter-proximal regions. Based on these findings, we propose that GreA would constantly associate with core RNAP during transcriptional initiation and elongation, and resolves its stalling at promoter or promoter-proximal regions, thus contributing to the even distribution of RNAP along the promoter and coding regions in B. subtilis cells.

Project description:Coordination of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis is crucial for efficient cell proliferation. In Bacillus subtilis the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc protects chromosomes by associating with the chromosome and preventing cell division in its vicinity. Using protein localization, ChAP-on-Chip and bioinformatics, we have identified a consensus Noc-binding DNA sequence (NBS), and show that Noc is targeted to about 70 discrete regions scattered around the chromosome, though absent from a large region around the replication terminus. Purified Noc bound specifically to an NBS in vitro. NBSs inserted near the replication terminus bound Noc-YFP and caused a delay in cell division. An autonomous plasmid carrying an NBS recruited Noc-YFP and conferred a severe Noc-dependent inhibition of cell division. This shows that Noc is a potent inhibitor of division but that its activity is strictly localized by interaction with NBS sites in vivo. We propose that Noc not only serves as a spatial regulator of cell division to protect the nucleoid, but also a timing device with an important role in the co-ordination of chromosome segregation and cell division.

Project description:To obtain an insight into the in vivo dynamics of RNA polymerase (RNAP) on the B. subtilis genome, we analyzed the distribution of ?A and ? subunits of RNAP and the NusA elongation factor on the genome in exponentially growing cells, using the ChAP (Chromatin Affinity Precipitation)-chip method. In contrast to E. coli RNAP, which often accumulates at the promoter-proximal region, B. subtilis RNAP is evenly distributed from the promoter to the coding sequences in the majority of genes. This finding suggests that B. subtilis RNAP recruited to the promoter promptly translocates away from the promoter to form the elongation complex. We detected RNAP accumulation in the promoter-proximal regions of some genes, most of which are attributed to transcription attenuation systems in the leader region. Our findings suggest that the differences in RNAP behavior during initiation and early elongation steps between E. coli and B. subtilis result in distinct strategies for post-initiation control of transcription. The E. coli mechanism involves trapping at the promoter and promoter-proximal pausing of RNAP in addition to transcription attenuation, whereas transcription attenuation in leader sequences is mainly employed in B. subtilis. Wild-type strain, Bacillus subtilis 168, was also used for RNA and genomic DNA extraction and analysis - RNA data was divided by genome DNA data to normalize (1) PCR bias and (2) copy number of RNA molecule per genome for multi-copy genome of exponentially growing bacteria.

Project description:DNA binding profiling of endogenous HIF1A on proximal promoters in human HeLa cells exposed to 1% oxygen (hypoxia), using normoxic cells (21% oxygen) as reference.<br><br>Biological background: The Hypoxia Inducible Factor Family of transcription factors is proposed as the main orchestrator of the cellular response to hypoxia. HIFs are heterodimers of a HIF alpha and a HIF beta subunit. HIF alpha protein stability is regulated by oxygen-dependent proteasomal degradation, and hence HIFs are strongly stabilized in hypoxia.<br><br>Purpose of the study: a number of HIF1 ChIP-chip studies have been reported, employing various cell types, array platforms and HIF antibodies, and the overlap of HIF binding locations in these studies is relatively small. The aim of this study was to characterize HIF1 binding in an additional cell line (HeLa), and employing a different HIFalpha antibody.<br><br>Experimental design: We conducted a total of six hybridizations employing four biological replicates. For two biological replicates, we performed dye-swap technical replicate experiments.<br><br>Results summary: We identified 55 HIF binding locations in HeLa cells (FDR<2%). While this number is relatively low compared to previous studies, presumably due to limiting antibody sensitivity, the overlap with data from other cell lines is comparable to our HeLa data.
