Project description:Legionella pneumophila (Lp) is an opportunistic pathogen and its survival in water is critical for human infection. Therefore, identifying the genes of Lp that are required for survival in water may help devise strategies to prevent Legionella outbreaks. In this study, we exposed Lp in rich medium and in an artificial freshwater medium (Fraquil) for 2, 6 and 24 hours to uncover the global transcriptomic changes of Lp in water. The repression of major metabolic pathways, such as division, transcription and translation, suggests that Lp enters a dormant state in water. The induction of the flagellar associated genes (flg, fli and mot), enhance entry genes (enh) and some Icm/Dot effectors suggests that Lp may be waiting to establish intracellular replication in suitable host. Moreover, many genes involved in resistance to antibiotic and oxidative stress were induced, suggesting that Lp may be more tolerant to environmental stresses in water. Indeed, Lp exposed to water is more resistant to erythromycin, gentamycin and kanamycin than those cultured in rich medium. Apart from this, the gene bdhA involved in the degradation of the intracellular energy storage compound poly-hydroxybutyrate is highly expressed in water. Further characterization shows that bdhA is positively regulated by RpoS during short-term exposure to water. The deletion mutant of bdhA had a survival defect in water at 37°C, demonstrating that this gene is important for maintaining the long-term survivorship of Lp in water. Other identified genes highly induced upon exposure to water could also be necessary for Lp to survive in water. Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia-1 strain JR32 was grown in AYE broth at 25°C shaking to OD600 of 1 in triplicate. Samples were taken for analysis; this is the control. Then the cultures were washed three times in Fraquil and resuspended in Fraquil to an OD600 of 1 and transfered to vessels of bioreactior (Biostat Q-plus). Samples were taken after 2h, 6h and 24h.

Project description:Bacterial competence is a genetically programmed process that is triggered as a response to environmental stimuli. DNA uptake from the extracellular milieu by competence requires the expression of a complex machinery composed of a competence pseudopilus and a DNA translocase. In L. pneumophila, it has been reported that microaerophilic conditions and genetic alteration of the competence repressors ComR and ProQ result in competence. We have analyzed the gene expression profiles of the proQ and comR mutants using the L. pneumophila Philadelphia-1 microarray. Many competence genes were found to be induced in the comR and proQ mutants and represent a defined, regulon. The gene expression profiling of the proQ and comR mutants was part of a study aimed at understanding the function of the processive 3'-5' exoribonuclease RNase R (rnr gene) in L. pneumophila. We found that the gene expression profile of the rnr mutant shares similarities with the gene expression profiles of the comR and proQ mutants and that loss of the exoribonuclease activity of RNase R was sufficient to induce competence development. RNase R is a processive 3'-5' exoribonuclease with a high degree of conservation in prokaryotes. Although some bacteria possess additional hydrolytic 3´-5-exoribonucleases such as RNase II, RNase R was found to be the only one predicted in the Legionella pneumophila genome. This provided a unique opportunity to study the role of RNase R in the absence of an additional RNase with similar enzymatic activity. We investigated the role of RNase R in the biology of Legionella pneumophila under various conditions and performed gene expression profiling using microarrays. At optimal growth temperature, loss of RNase R had no major consequence on bacterial growth and had a moderate impact on normal gene regulation. However, at lower temperatures loss of RNase R has a significant impact on bacterial growth and resulted in the accumulation of structured RNA degradation products. Concurrently, gene regulation was affected and specifically resulted in increased expression of the competence regulon. Loss of the exoribonuclease activity of RNase R was sufficient to induce competence development, a genetically-programmed process normally triggered as a response to environmental stimuli. Temperature-dependent expression of competence genes in the rnr mutant was found to be independent of the previously identified competence regulators comR and ProQ. comR: Three test samples and three reference samples were analyzed. The test sample being the strain KS79, a comR mutant of L. pneumophila strain JR32 which is used as a reference. proQ: Three test samples and three reference samples were analyzed. The test sample being the strain LELA3825, a proQ mutant of L. pneumophila strain JR32 which is used as a reference. rnr: Six test samples and six reference samples grown at 30°C or 37°C were analyzed. The test sample being the strain LELA559, a rnr mutant of L. pneumophila strain JR32 which is used as a reference.

Project description:Cap1p, a transcription factor of the basic region-leucine zipper family, controls the oxidative stress response in Candida albicans. It was shown that alteration of the C-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD) of Cap1p results in nuclear retention and constitutive transcriptional activation. To further characterize the function of Cap1p in C. albicans, we used genome-wide location profiling (ChIP-on-chip), allowing the identification of Cap1p-transcriptional targets in vivo. Location profiling using a tiled-oligonucleotide DNA microarray identified 89 targets that were bound by Cap1p-HA3 or Cap1p-CSE-HA3 (binding ratio ⥠2-fold, P ⤠0.01). Strikingly, Cap1p binding was not only detected at the promoter region of its target genes but also at their 3'-end and within their open-reading frame. Overrepresented functional groups of Cap1p targets (P ⤠0.02) included notably 11 genes involved in response to oxidative stress (CAP1, GLR1, TRX1, others), 13 genes involved in response to drug (PDR16, MDR1, FLU1, others) and 3 genes involved in regulation of nitrogen utilization (orf19.2693, orf19.3121 and GST3). Bioinformatic analyses suggested that Cap1p binds to the DNA motif 5'- MTKASTMA. Transcriptome analyses showed that increased expression of most of Cap1p targets accompanies Cap1p binding at these targets, indicating that Cap1p is a transcriptional activator. We conclude that, in addition to protecting the cell against oxidative stress, Cap1p appears to have other functions including drug resistance and the regulation of nitrogen utilization. The atypical binding pattern of Cap1p suggests that this transcription factor may associate with the transcriptional or the chromatin remodeling machinery to exert its activity. We performed three gene expression profile comparisons: (1) benomyl-induced gene expression in a strain containing wildtype CAP1 (CJD21/PMK-CAP1 +/- benomyl), (2) benomyl-induced gene expression in a strain where CAP1 is disrupted (CJD21/PMK +/- benomyl), and (3) gene expression in a strain containing a hyperactive allele of CAP1 compared to a strain containing wildtype CAP1 (CJD21/PMK-CAP1-CSE vs. CJD21/PMK-CAP1). There were three biological replicates (each drug-treated and untreated strain was grown/treated in three independent experiments). Since our Affymetrix platform requires each sample is hybridized on a separate chip, there is no dye-swapping. For each benomyl-treatment experiment (comparisons 1 and 2 above), the untreated (diluent-treated) samples are the reference samples. For comparison 3, the CJD21-PMK-CAP1 sample is the reference sample.

Project description:Zinc can be limiting in many environments and bacteria have developed acclimation responses to counteract this deficiency. In most bacteria, the acclimation response to zinc limitation is controlled by Zur, a transcriptional regulator of the FUR family. Several proteins that take part in this response are present in the cytoplasm and the cell envelope. However, little is known about the involvement of proteins present in the extracellular space in the response to Zn limitation and whether the protein composition of this space might be also regulated by Zur. Therefore, in order to get an insight into these issues, a comparative analysis of the exoproteomes of the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC7120 (WT) and its Δzur derivative strain (referred as "MN" in the present dataset) was carried out using SWATH-MS analysis.
