Comparison of mid-log transcriptomes of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: The global diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis comprises at least seven lineages, each with its distinct geographic distribution. The aim of this experiment was to perform a comparative analysis of two of these lineages: Lineage 1 and Lineage 2. The former is found around the rim of the Indian ocean and in south-east Asia, while the latter is widely spread throughout Asia and shows an increasing global spread. We have chosen three fully drug susceptible clincal isolates to represent each of the two lineages. We performed RNAseq analysis on rRNA depleted samples isolated from cultures during mid-log phase. Each strain was measured in triplicate.

Identifying the fitness cost of rifampicin-resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through RNAseq profiling.

Project description:The experiment was designed to infer the fitness cost of rifampicin-resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through expression analysis. The approach relied on: 1. Tracking the expression changes occurring as a result of the rifampicin-resistance conferring mutation Ser450Leu in RpoB and subsequent gain of compensatory mutation Leu516Pro in RpoC. The hypothesis was that any cost-incurring expressional changes would be reversed in the presence of compensatory mutations. The strains in this set were described before here: PMID 22179134. 2. Comparing the impact of the same rifampicin-resistance mutation (RpoB Ser450Leu) in five different genetic backgrounds. Here the comparison was solely between RpoB Ser450Leu and their cognate drug susceptible wild type ancestor. One of the strain pairs is the same as in point 1. above.

Nitric oxide exposure induces production of Rpf-dependent differentially culturable mycobacteria

Project description:Rationale: Tuberculosis has a devastating impact on global health by claiming nearly 1.4 million lives each year. During infection Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis, produces heterogenous populations some of which don’t produce colonies on agar but grow in liquid media and often require supplementation with culture supernatants or recombinant Resuscitation-promoting factor, thus defined as differentially culturable bacilli. Objectives: to evaluate whether exposure to nitric oxide (NO), a well-known host defence molecule, alters mycobacterial growth phenotypes and drives generation of Rpf-dependent differentially culturable bacilli. Methods: a novel NO donor was synthesised and tested against Mtb and Mycobacterium bovis BCG in vitro, followed by growth assays, flow cytometry analysis and assessment of transcriptomic responses. Resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) inhibitors were used to characterise the role of Rpf proteins in the reactivation of NO-treated mycobacteria. Mycobacterial phenotypes were also investigated during infection of THP-1 macrophages activated with retinoic acid and vitamin D3. Measurements and Main Results: differentially culturable mycobacteria were generated after exposure to the novel NO donor or during infection of activated THP-1 cells. Resuscitation of these differentially culturable bacilli was largely abolished by specific Rpf inhibitors. Transcriptomic analysis revealed redox-associated stress signatures mediated by SigH and SigF, with significant down-regulation of ribosome and cell wall architecture genes, including rpfA, rpfB and rpfE, and induction of genes involved in response to thiol stress, sulphur metabolism and iron acquisition. Conclusion: Our study provides mechanistic insights into the generation of Rpf-dependent Mtb during tuberculosis and outlines a critical role of NO in this process.

Pain-killer carprofen elicits pleiotropic modes of bactericidal action with potential to reverse antimicrobial resistance in tuberculosis.

Project description:The alarming rise of antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis coupled with the shortage of new antibiotics has made tuberculosis (TB) control a global health priority. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the growth of multi-drug resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis. Repurposing NSAIDs, with known clinical properties and safety records, offers a direct route to clinical trials. Therefore we investigated the novel mechanisms of anti-mycobacterial action of the NSAID, carprofen. Integrative molecular and microbiological approaches revealed that carprofen, a bactericidal drug, inhibited bacterial drug efflux mechanisms. In addition, carprofen restricted mycobacterial biofilm-like growth, highlighting the requirement of efflux-mediated communicative systems for the formation of biofilms. Transcriptome profiling revealed that carprofen likely acts by inhibiting respiration through the disruption of membrane potential, which may explain why spontaneous drug-resistant mutants could not be raised due to the pleiotropic nature of carprofen’s anti-tubercular action. This immunomodulatory drug has the potential to reverse TB antimicrobial resistance by inhibiting drug efflux pumps and biofilm formation, and paves a new chemotherapeutic path for tackling tuberculosis.

mRNA-Seq of Myriophyllum spicatum exposed to low-effect concentrations of the herbicide bentazone and the pharmaceutical atorvastatin against untreated control groups

Project description:Within this study, the non-model organism Myriophyllum spicatum was used to evaluate ecotoxic modes of action at the gene expression level. M. spicatum was exposed to low-effect concentrations of bentazone and atorvastatin in a shortened and modified version of the OECD guideline test No. 239, followed by RNA extraction of the shoot tip tissue and a subsequent RNA-seq analysis utilizing a de novo assembly of the transcriptome. While the herbicide bentazone is an inhibitor of photosynthesis, the widely spread pharmaceutical atorvastatin acts as an inhibitor of the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and thus the isoprenoid biosynthesis. The aim of this study was to determine molecular fingerprints and biomarkers distinguishing these distinct modes of action at a molecular level.

RNA-seq, term-seq and tagRNA-seq of M. tuberculosis strains H37Rv and RhoDUC strains induced for Rho depletion at times 0H, 1.5H, 3H, 4.5H and 6H

Project description:Accurately controlled termination of transcription is critical for gene expression and adaptation to changing environments in bacteria. The aim of this study was to define transcription termination sites in Mycobacterium tuberculosis at nucleotide resolution. To this end, we used a combination of term-seq to identify termination of transcription and tagRNA-seq to identify transcription start sites and processed sites. This led us to identify a prevalence of Rho-dependent termination of transcription in the pathogen. We applied term-seq and WTSS RNA-seq on the RhoDUC strain derived from H37Rv, for which a depletion of Rho is inducible by addition of Anhydrous Tetracyclin, to identify Rho-responsive termination site and quantify readthrough.

A novel TetR-like transcriptional regulator is induced in acid-nitrosative stress and controls expression of an efflux pump in mycobacteria

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis has the ability to survive inside macrophages under acid-nitrosative stress. M. tuberculosis Rv1685c and its orthologue in M. smegmatis, MSMEG_3765, are induced on exposure to acid-nitrosative stress. Both genes are annotated as TetR transcriptional regulators, a family of proteins that regulate a wide range of cellular activities, including multidrug resistance, carbon catabolism and virulence. Here we demonstrate that MSMEG_3765 is co-transcribed with the upstream genes MSMEG_3762 and MSMEG_3763, encoding efflux pump components. RTq-PCR and GFP-reporter assays showed that the MSMEG_3762/63/65 gene cluster, and the orthologous region in M. tuberculosis (Rv1687c/86c/85c), was up-regulated in a MSMEG_3765 null mutant, suggesting that MSMEG_3765 acts as a repressor, typical of this family of regulators. We further defined the MSMEG_3765 regulon using genome-wide transcriptional profiling and confirmed that the MSMEG_3762/63/65 promoter is induced under acid-nitrosative stress. A putative 36 bp regulatory motif was identified upstream of the gene clusters in both M. smegmatis and M. tuberculosis and purified recombinant MSMEG_3765 protein was found to bind to DNA fragments containing this motif from both M. smegmatis and M. tuberculosis upstream regulatory regions. These results suggest that the TetR repressor MSMEG_3765/Rv1685c controls expression of an efflux pump with an, as yet, undefined role in the mycobacterial response to acid-nitrosative stress.

Quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of H37Ra and H37Rv strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis accounts for 1.5 million annual deaths worldwide. The two well-characterized strains of the parental H37 strain namely, H37Ra and H37Rv show different pathogenic phenotypes. In order to identify factors that are responsible for virulence, we compared the proteome and the phosphoproteome profiles of virulent (H37Rv) and virulence attenuated (H37Ra) strains of M. tuberculosis. Quantitative proteomic analysis resulted in the identification and quantitation of 2,709 proteins and 505 phosphosites. Comparative analysis revealed over 5-fold overexpression of several proteins associated with virulence. Our data indicates that there are definable molecular differences between H37Rv and H37Ra strains at both the proteome and phosphoproteome levels which may explain the virulence and phenotypic differences.

Protein kinase B-mediated phosphorylation controls binding of global transcriptional regulator Lsr2 to DNA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Two billion people are estimated to have latent tuberculosis infection associated with dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacteria possess a great portfolio of regulatory proteins which that control transitions betweento dormancy and resuscitation, including the essential protein kinase B (PknB). Here, we established that depletion of PknB resulted in global alteration of the M. tuberculosis transcriptome, and identified and implicated the DNA-binding protein Lsr2 as a main transcriptional regulator likely responsible for these changes. Furthermore, we showed that Lsr2 was phosphorylated by PknB in vitro and phosphorylation of Lsr2 on threonine 112 was important for M. tuberculosis growth and survival in the Wayne non-replicating persistence model. Our fluorescence anisotropy and electromobility shift assays revealed demonstrated that phosphorylation prevented reduced affinity of Lsr2 binding to DNA, and ChHIP-sequencing experiments confirmed increased DNA binding by of a phosphoablative (T112A) Lsr2 mutant in M. tuberculosis. According to our structural modelling studies revealed that phosphomimetic T112D mutation (T112D) to Lsr2 resulted in increased dynamics of the C-terminal part and a shift of the DNA binding loop of in the Lsr2 DNA binding domain, which disrupted prevented the DNA-protein interactions. Our findings suggest that PknB- mediated phosphorylation of Lsr2 is necessary for fine- tuning of gene expression during M. tuberculosis growth and transition to dormancy enabling M. tuberculosis to adapt and survive to cause disease.

Integrated multi-omic analysis of M. tuberculosis H37Ra redefines virulence attributes

Project description:M. tuberculosis H37Ra, an avirulent tubercle bacillus, is a commonly used model to investigate virulence attenuation in M. tuberculosis. Comparative high-throughput studies have earlier correlated its avirulence to the presence of specific mutations or absence of certain proteins. However, a recent sequencing study of H37Ra has disproved several genomic differences earlier reported to be associated with virulence. This warrants further investigations on the H37Ra proteome as well. In this study, we carried out an integrated analysis of the genome, transcriptome and proteome of H37Ra. In addition to confirming single nucleotide variations and insertion-deletions that were reported earlier, our study provides novel insights into the mutation spectrum in the promoter regions of 7 genes. In all, we provide protein coding evidence for 3,199 proteins representing ~79% of the total predicted gene count. Transcriptome analysis revealed the expression of 3,945 high-confidence transcripts including several transcripts mapping to the genome that were previously thought to be non-coding. We identified 9 genes whose coding potential was hitherto reported to be absent in H37Ra . These include 2 putative virulence factors belonging to ESAT-6 like family of proteins. Furthermore, proteogenomic analysis enabled us to identify 63 novel proteins coding genes and correct 25 existing gene models in H37Ra genome. A majority of these were found to be conserved in the virulent strain H37Rv as well as in other mycobacterial sp. suggesting that that the differences in the virulent and avirulent strains of M. tuberculosis are not entirely dependent on the expression of certain proteins or their absence but may possibly be ascertained to functional changes.
