ChIP-Seq of the Sinorhizobium meliloti CRP-like protein Clr in combination with either cAMP or cGMP under different growth conditions

ABSTRACT: In bacteria, Crp-Fnr superfamily transcription factors mediate 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling. The CRP-like protein Clr of the soil-dwelling and plant-symbiotic α-proteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti was previously shown to activate target promoters in both its cAMP- and cGMP-bound states (Krol et al., Microbiology 62:1840–1856, 2016). In order to further characterize the overall regulon of Clr in S. meliloti Chromatin Immuno Precipitation DNA-Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) experiments were performed with C-terminally FLAG tagged Clr under four different growth conditions, namely growth in TY complex medium and MOPS minimal medium, each supplemented with either cAMP or cGMP. For each condition, the respective immunoprecipitated (IP) and non-immunoprecipitated (control) samples were analyzed and compared to locate genomic positions in which Clr-DNA binding occurs. In combining ChIP-Seq with Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assays and promoter-probe assays we expanded the list of known Clr-regulated target promoters and showed that virtually all of these promoters containing a palindromic Clr binding site (CBS) motif are activated both by Clr•cAMP and Clr•cGMP.

Project description:Transcriptional profiles of Escherichia coli MG1655 in mixed culture with Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 showed a number of E. coli genes to be upregulated including purA-F and other genes associated with purine synthesis. In contrast, genes associated with pyrimidine synthesis were unaffected. Competition experiments in both planktonic and biofilm cultures, using three purine synthesis mutants, purD, purH, and purT showed little difference in E. coli survival from the parent strain. As purines are components of the cell signals, cAMP and c-di-GMP, we conducted competition experiments with E. coli mutants lacking adenylate cyclase (cyaA), cAMP phosphodiesterase (cpdA), and the catabolite receptor protein (crp), as well as ydeH, an uncharacterized gene that has been associated with c-di-GMP synthesis. Survival of the cyaA and crp mutants during co-culture were significantly less than the parent strain. Supplementation of the media with 1mM cAMP could restore survival of the cyaA mutant but not the crp mutant. In contrast, survival of the cpdA mutant was similar to the parent strain. Survival of the ydeH mutant was moderately less than the parent, suggesting that cAMP has more impact on E. coli mixed culture growth than c-di-GMP. Addition of 1 mM indole restored the survival of both the cyaA and crp mutations. Mutants in genes for tryptophan synthesis (trpE) and indole production (tnaA) showed a loss of competition and recovery through indole supplementation, comparable to the cyaA and crp mutants. Overall, these results suggest indole and cAMP as major contributing factors to E. coli growth in mixed culture. Two replicates of LB grown E. coli ZK126 and P. aeruginosa PAO1 were grown in pure culture at 37C to an OD of 0.3 (log phase) and then mixed 1:1 and incubated for an additional 45 min. RNA was extracted, purified, reverse transcribed to cDNA and then analyzed on E. coli and P. aeruginosa chips from Affymetrix. Expression profiles were compared to pure culture E. coli and P. aeruginosa grown on LB.
