Project description:In a manner similar to ubiquitin, the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) has been shown to target proteins for degradation via the proteasome in mycobacteria. However, not all actinobacteria possessing the Pup protein also harbor a proteasome, suggesting fates for pupylated proteins other than degradation via a proteasome or degradation at all. In the present study we set out to study pupylation in the proteasome-lacking non-pathogenic model microorganism and biotechnological workhorse Corynebacterium glutamicum. A defined pup deletion mutant of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 grew as the control indicating that pupylation seems to be dispensable under the conditions tested. By expression of homologous Pup carrying a poly-histidine tag in C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 we purified the first pupylome of a microorganism lacking a proteasome. Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) unraveled 54 proteins being pupylated in this organism. Similar to mycobacteria, the majority of pupylated proteins in C. glutamicum can be classified as enzymes of the metabolism or as involved in translation. These results help to elucidate the common target pathways of pupylation in bacteria. Sample 1: For growth in CGXII minimal media, a preculture 1 was grown in 5 ml BHI medium inoculated with a single colony from a fresh BHI agar plate and incubated at 170 rpm for 8 hours. Then 500 M-BM-5l of preculture 1 were used to inoculate preculture 2 in 100 ml shake flasks with 20 ml CGXII minimal medium containing 4 % (w/v) glucose and incubated over night (140 rpm , 30 M-BM-0C ). Subsequent main cultures (50 ml CGXII medium with 4 % glucose) were inoculated with cells from preculture 2 to an OD600 of about 0.4. For DNA microarray analysis, cells were harvested in the exponential growth phase at an OD600 of 4 to 5. After extraction of total RNA 25M-BM-5g of total RNA from C. glutamicum Delta-pup and C. glutamicum WT were compared in two-color microarray analysis. Overall three biological replicates were done.

Project description:Copper is an essential cofactor for many enzymes but at high concentrations it is toxic for the cell. Copper ion concentrations ≥50 µM inhibited growth of Corynebacterium glutamicum. The transcriptional response to 20 µM Cu2+ was studied using DNA microarrays and revealed 26 genes that showed a ≥3-fold increased mRNA level, including cg3280-cg3289. Several genes in this genomic region code for proteins presumably involved in the adaption to copper-induced stress, e. g. a multicopper oxidase and a copper-transport ATPase. In addition, this region includes the copRS genes (previously named cgtRS9) which encode a two-component signal transduction system composed of the histidine kinase CopS and the response regulator CopR. Deletion of the copRS genes increased the sensitivity of C. glutamicum towards copper ions, but not to other heavy metal ions. Using comparative transcriptome analysis of the ΔcopRS mutant and the wild type in combination with electrophoretic mobility shift assays and reporter gene studies the CopR regulon and the DNA-binding motif of CopR were identified. Evidence was obtained that CopR binds only to the intergenic region between cg3285 and cg3286 in the genome of C. glutamicum and activates expression of the divergently oriented gene clusters cg3285-cg3280 and cg3286-cg3289. Altogether, our data suggest that CopRS is the key regulatory system in C. glutamicum for the extracytoplasmic sensing of elevated copper ion concentrations and for induction of a set of genes capable of diminishing copper stress. Four or five biological replicates of each experiment were performed. Experiment 1: Transcriptome comparison of wild type grown with 1.25 µM or with 21.25 µM CuSO4; Exp. 2: WT vs. copRS deletion mutant grown with 21.25 µM CuSO4; For analysis via DNA microarrays, the RNA was isolated from exponentially growing cells cultivated in CgXII medium containing glucose as carbon source and either 1.25 uM CuSO4 or 21.25 uM CuSO4.

Project description:The response regulator HrrA belonging to the HrrSA two-component system (previously named CgtSR11) is known to be repressed by the global iron-dependent regulator DtxR in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Sequence analysis indicated an involvement of the HrrSA system in heme-dependent gene expression. Growth experiments revealed that the non-pathogenic soil bacterium C. glutamicum is able to use hemin or hemoglobin as sole iron source. In DNA microarray analyses a putative operon encoding the hemin-binding protein HtaA and the putative hemin ABC transporter HmuTUV showed a strong upregulation in heme-grown cells. Deletion of the hmu operon clearly affects heme utilization, but does not completely abolish growth on heme or hemoglobin. As a central part of this study, we investigated the regulon of the response regulator HrrA via comparative transcriptome analysis of a hrrA deletion mutant and C. glutamicum wild type in combination with DNA-protein interaction studies with purified HrrA protein. Our data provide evidence for a heme-dependent transcriptional activation of heme oxygenase (hmuO), an enzyme involved in the utilization of heme as iron source. Besides hmuO, HrrA was shown to activate the expression of heme-containing components of the respiratory chain, namely ctaD and the ctaE-qcrCAB operon encoding subunits I and III of cytochrome aa3 oxidase and three subunits of the cytochrome bc1 complex. Furthermore, HrrA represses almost all genes involved in heme biosynthesis, including glutamyl-tRNA reductase (hemA), uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (hemE), and ferrochelatase (hemH). Thus, our data clearly emphasize a central role of the HrrSA system in the control of heme homeostasis in C. glutamicum. Three biological replicates of each experiment were performed. Experiment 1: Transcriptome comparison of wild type grown und FeSO4 or heme as iron source; Exp. 2: WT vs. hrrA deletion mutant grown on FeSO4; Exp. 3: WT vs. hrrA mutant grown on heme. For analysis via DNA microarraysose RNA was isolated from exponentially growing cells cultivated in CgXII medium containing glucose as carbon source and either 2.5 uM FeSO4 or 2.5 uM heme as iron source.

Project description:Shotgun proteomics has grown rapidly in recent decades, but a large fraction of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data in shotgun proteomics are not successfully identified. We have developed a novel database search algorithm, Open-pFind, to efficiently identify peptides even in an ultra-large search space which takes into account unexpected modifications, amino acid mutations, semi- or non-specific digestion and co-eluting peptides. Tested on two metabolically labeled MS/MS datasets, Open-pFind reported 50.5‒117.0% more peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) than the seven other advanced algorithms. More importantly, the Open-pFind results were more credible judged by the verification experiments using stable isotopic labeling. Tested on four additional large-scale datasets, 70‒85% of the spectra were confidently identified, and high-quality spectra were nearly completely interpreted by Open-pFind. Further, Open-pFind was over 40 times faster than the other three open search algorithms and 2‒3 times faster than three restricted search algorithms. Re-analysis of an entire human proteome dataset consisting of ~25 million spectra using Open-pFind identified a total of 14,064 proteins encoded by 12,723 genes by requiring at least two uniquely identified peptides. In this search results, Open-pFind also excelled in an independent test for false positives based on the presence or absence of olfactory receptors. Thus, a practical use of the open search strategy has been realized by Open-pFind for the truly global-scale proteomics experiments of today and in the future.

Project description:In this study, RNA-seq was used to compare the transcriptomes of Listeria monocytogenes 10403S::ÎBCHL Prha-sigH and ÎBCHL Prha. RNA-seq was performed on ÎBCHL Prha-sigH and ÎBCHL Prha RNA samples representing three independent biological replicates at log phase in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth under rhamnose induction. Indexed and purified cDNA libraries (6 libraries including 3 replicates for 2 strains) were loaded together onto an independent flow cell without any other samples; sequencing was carried out by running Hiseq 2500 (single-end, 150-bp per read). Reads alignment was carried out using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA). Differential expression of genes in different strains was statistically assessed using the BaySeq method. To identify sigH-dependent promoters, a new method of moving sliding windows of 50 nt along the whole genome was used to compare the normalized RNA-seq coverage (NRC) between the two strains. Using the standard whole gene differential expression analysis, significant upregulation of 5 genes in 4 operons was found in the sigH overexpressing strain. While with the sliding windiow analysis, 2 additional ÏH-dependent promoters were identified. Our results show that three ÏH-dependent transcritption units that encode competence proteins, including the comEABC , comGABCDEFG and coiA. Transcriptome profiles of L. monocytogenes 10403S::ÎBCHL Prha-sigH and ÎBCHL Prha were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2500.

Project description:To investigate the architecture of the E. coli K-12 transcriptome, we used two RNA-Seq technologies to analyze strand-specific transcription at single-nucleotide resolution. We analyzed the data by using an organizational schema to annotate the promoters and terminators that define transcription units across the genome. We found substantial evidence for differential gene expression within complex operons, which we categorized based on operon architecture. E. coli K-12 strain MG1655 substrain BW38028 and isogenic rpoS mutant were cultured in minimal glucose media (carbon, nitrogen, or phosphate limited) and the total transcriptome of log and stationary phase samples was sequenced.

Project description:To investigate the architecture of the E. coli K-12 transcriptome, we used two RNA-Seq technologies to analyze strand-specific transcription at single-nucleotide resolution. We analyzed the data by using an organizational schema to annotate the promoters and terminators that define transcription units across the genome. Our results showed that most (ca. two-thirds) operons have a single promoter and terminator, whereas one-third of operons contain multiple transcription units. We found substantial evidence for differential gene expression within complex operons, which we categorized based on operon architecture. E. coli K-12 strain MG1655 substrain BW38028 and isogenic rpoS mutant were cultured in minimal glucose media and the total transcriptome of log and stationary phase samples was sequenced.

Project description:The human gut microbiota is an important metabolic organ, yet little is known about how its individual species interact, establish dominant positions, and respond to changes in environmental factors such as diet. In this study, gnotobiotic mice were colonized with an artificial microbiota comprising 12 sequenced human gut bacterial species and fed oscillating diets of disparate composition. Rapid, reproducible, and reversible changes in the structure of this assemblage were observed. Time-series microbial RNA-Seq analyses revealed staggered functional responses to diet shifts throughout the assemblage that were heavily focused on carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. High-resolution shotgun metaproteomics confirmed many of these responses at a protein level. One member, Bacteroides cellulosilyticus WH2, proved exceptionally fit regardless of diet. Its genome encoded more carbohydrate active enzymes than any previously sequenced member of the Bacteroidetes. Transcriptional profiling indicated that B. cellulosilyticus WH2 is an adaptive forager that tailors its versatile carbohydrate utilization strategy to available dietary polysaccharides, with a strong emphasis on plant-derived xylans abundant in dietary staples like cereal grains. Two highly expressed, diet-specific polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) in B. cellulosilyticus WH2 were identified, one with characteristics of xylan utilization systems. Introduction of a B. cellulosilyticus WH2 library comprising >90,000 isogenic transposon mutants into gnotobiotic mice, along with the other artificial community members, confirmed that these loci represent critical diet-specific fitness determinants. Carbohydrates that trigger dramatic increases in expression of these two loci and many of the organism’s 111 other predicted PULs were identified by RNA-Seq during in vitro growth on 31 distinct carbohydrate substrates, allowing us to better interpret in vivo RNA-Seq and proteomics data. These results offer insight into how gut microbes adapt to dietary perturbations at both a community level and from the perspective of a well-adapted symbiont with exceptional saccharolytic capabilities, and illustrate the value of artificial communities. 611 samples total (221 from experiment 1, 390 from experiment 2). Evaluation of changes in an artificial gut community's structure over time as a result of dietary oscillation.

Project description:DNA affinity chromatography with the promoter region of the Corynebacterium glutamicum pck gene, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCk), led to the isolation of four transcriptional regulators, i.e., RamA, GntR1, GntR2 and IolR. Determination of the PEPCk activity of the deletion mutants M-NM-^TramA, M-NM-^TgntR1M-NM-^TgntR2, and M-NM-^TiolR indicated that RamA represses pck during growth on glucose about twofold, whereas GntR1, GntR2, and IolR activate pck expression about twofold, irrespective whether glucose or acetate served as carbon source. The DNA binding sites of the four regulators in the pck promoter region were identified and their positions correlated with the predicted functions as repressor or activators. The iolR gene is located upstream and in divergent orientation to a iol gene cluster, encoding proteins involved in myo-inositol uptake and degradation. Comparative DNA microarray analysis of the M-NM-^TiolR mutant and the parental wild-type revealed strongly elevated (>100-fold) mRNA levels of the iol genes in the mutant, indicating that the primary function of IolR is the repression of the iol genes. IolR binding sites were identified in the promoter regions of iolC, iolT and iolR itself, which presumably is subject to negative autoregulation. A consensus DNA-binding motif was identified (5M-bM-^@M-^Y-KGWCHTRACA-3M-bM-^@M-^Y) which corresponds well to those of other GntR-type regulators of the HutC family. Taken together, our results disclose a complex regulation of the pck gene in C. glutamicum and identify IolR as an efficient repressor of genes involved in myo-inositol catabolism of this organism. To identify genes that are potentially regulated by IolR, the transcriptome profile of the iolR deletion strain was compared to that of the WT using DNA microarray analysis. The strains were grown in CGXII minimal medium with 4% (wt/vol) glucose as sole carbon source and RNA was isolated from cells harvested in the early exponential growth phase (OD600 of about 5). The transcriptome comparison was performed in triplicate starting from independent cultures. The second replicate included a dye-swap.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of hospital- and community-associated infections. The organism’s ability to cause disease can, in part, be attributable to its ability to adapt to otherwise deleterious host-associated stresses. Like other bacterial species, the modulation of mRNA turnover appears to play an important role in S. aureus adaptation to certain environmental stresses. In the current study Affymetrix GeneChips® were used to examine the S. aureus responses to acid and alkaline shock-inducing conditions and to assess whether stress dependent changes in mRNA turnover are likely to facilitate the organism’s ability to tolerate extreme pH challenge. Results indicate that S. aureus adapts to pH shock by eliciting responses expected of organisms coping with pH alteration, including neutralizing cellular internal pH, DNA repair, amino acid biosynthesis and virulence factor expression. Further, it was found that the cellular response to alkaline conditions elicits a transcriptional profile that is similar to that of stringent response induced cells. Consistent with that observation, we show that the activator of the stringent response, (p)ppGpp, levels are profoundly elevated during alkaline shock conditions. We also show that the mRNA turnover properties of acid or alkaline shocked cells significantly differ from that of cells grown at neutral pH. A comparison of the mRNA degradation properties of transcripts whose titers either increased or decreased in response to sudden pH change revealed that alterations in mRNA degradation may, in part, account for the changes in the mRNA levels of factors predicted to mediate pH tolerance. Finally, a set of small stable RNA molecules were induced in response to acid or alkaline shock conditions. As in other organisms, these molecules may mediate mRNA stability and adaptation to otherwise deleterious growth conditions. Staphylococcus aureus strain UAMS-1 was grown to exponential phase and either mock treated (pH maintained at 7.4) or subjected to acid (pH 4)- or alkaline (pH 10) conditions for 30 min. Next, 200 micrograms per ml of rifampicin were added to arrest transcript synthesis. RNA was extracted from cell suspensions at 0, 2.5, 5, 15, and 30 min post-transcriptional arrest, labeled and hybridized to S. aureus GeneChips. A comparison of 0 min samples allowed assessment of acid and alkaline shock responses. A comparison of 0 min to that of various post-transcriptional arrest RNA samples allowed assessment of the mRNA turnover properties of mock vs acid or alkaline shocked cells. Duplicates of each experimental condition and corresponding post-transcriptional arrest time point were used (biological replicates).
