Lipoprotein multigene families in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

ABSTRACT: In this study, reverse transcriptase PCR was employed to construct a transcriptional profile of Mycoplasma pneumoniae lipoprotein genes contained in six multigene families. Most genes were found to be expressed. Many truncated lipoprotein genes were expressed, often polycistronically with other truncated genes, indicating that these genes may still be functional.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae expression profiling

Project description:Two main articles have used this data. The small bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae with its annotated 689 protein-coding genes and 44 RNAs constitutes an ideal system for global and conditional transcription analysis in bacteria. We have combined spotted arrays under more than 120 conditions with several strand-specific, high resolution tiling arrays to obtain an unprecedented level of detail of bacterial gene expression. We have found 68 new non-annotated transcripts, of which the vast majority are potential regulatory RNAs, 53 of them in antisense to known genes. Integration of all data confirmed a dynamic and complex view of bacterial transcription: Under reference conditions in a rich medium, 138 polycistronic and 212 monocistronic transcripts could be identified, with almost half of the polycistronic operons showing a ‘staircase’-like expression pattern, i.e. the expression level within each gene is constant, but succeeding genes have lower expression. Furthermore, under different conditions, operons can divide into smaller transcriptional units, possibly by utilization of internal promoters resulting in many alternative transcripts. More complex bacteria show similar responses to external stresses, although M. pneumoniae lacks the respective transcription regulators, indicating the existence of yet uncharacterized common response mechanisms. This is supported by the concerted expression of genes, some of which with common upstream DNA motifs, form distinct operons under different conditions indicating additional factors regulating their expression. Frequent antisense transcripts, alternative transcripts and multiple regulators per gene thus cannot longer be seen as indicators of eukaryote-specific regulatory complexity.

Rapid activation of distinct member of multigene families in Plasmodium spp.

Project description:The objective of this study is to provide a novel method to study multigene proteins in Plasmodium spp. The method is based on selection linked integration (SLI), which allows positive selection of genomic integration events. By targeting specific members of multigene families, parasites are being selected for not only genomic integration but also expression of the targeted gene under its endogenous promoter

Rapid activation of distinct members of multigene families in Plasmodium spp.

Project description:Variant antigens that are encoded by large multigene families play an important role in the adaptation and immune evasion of a wide range of pathogens. However, the study of their biological function is significantly hampered by the difficulty in controlling their expression in its cellular setting. The genomes of Plasmodium spp. encode a number of different multigene families that are thought to play a critical role for their survival. However, with the exception of the P. falciparum var genes very little is known about the biological roles of any of the other multigene families. Here we report a highly efficient genetic system to study variant antigens in Plasmodium spp. using the Selection Linked Integration method; we are able to activate the expression of a single member of a multigene of our choice using its endogenous promoter.
