YbxF, a protein associated with exponential-phase ribosomes in Bacillus subtilis.

ABSTRACT: The ybxF gene is a member of the streptomycin operon in a wide range of gram-positive bacteria. In Bacillus subtilis, it codes for a small basic protein (82 amino acids, pI 9.51) of unknown function. We demonstrate that, in B. subtilis, YbxF localizes to the ribosome, primarily to the 50S subunit, with dependence on growth phase. Based on three-dimensional structures of YbxF generated by homology modeling, we identified helix 2 as important for the interaction with the ribosome. Subsequent mutational analysis of helix 2 revealed Lys24 as crucial for the interaction. Neither the B. subtilis ybxF gene nor its paralogue, the ymxC gene, is essential, as shown by probing DeltaybxF, DeltaymxC, or DeltaybxF DeltaymxC double deletion strains in several functional assays.

Interactions of an essential Bacillus subtilis GTPase, YsxC, with ribosomes.

Project description:YsxC is a small GTPase of Bacillus subtilis with essential but still unknown function, although recent works have suggested that it might be involved in ribosome biogenesis. Here, purified YsxC overexpressed in Escherichia coli was found to be partly associated with high-molecular-weight material, most likely rRNA, and thus eluted from gel filtration as a large complex. In addition, purification of ribosomes from an E. coli strain overexpressing YsxC allowed the copurification of the YsxC protein. Purified YsxC was shown to bind preferentially to the 50S subunit of B. subtilis ribosomes; this interaction was modulated by nucleotides and was stronger in the presence of a nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue than with GTP. Far-Western blotting analysis performed with His(6)-YsxC and ribosomal proteins separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that YsxC interacted with at least four ribosomal proteins from the 50S subunit. Two of these putative protein partners were identified by mass spectrometry as L1 and L3, while the third reactive band in the one-dimensional gel contained L6 and L10. The fourth band that reacted with YsxC contained a mixture of three proteins, L7/L12, L23, and L27, suggesting that at least one of them binds to YsxC. Coimmobilization assays confirmed that L1, L6, and L7/L12 interact with YsxC. Together, these results suggest that YsxC plays a role in ribosome assembly.

Comparison of Bacillus subtilis wild type and cshA mutant at exponential versus stationary phase

Project description:Comparison of Bacillus subtilis wild type and cshA mutant at exponential versus stationary phase. Detailed description (other than provided below) of growth conditions, RNA preparation, cDNA synthesis and hybridization conditions can be found in the submitted paper. Bacillus subtilis 168 wild type and its cshA derivative strain were grown in CSE-Glu medium and cells were harvested at mid exponential (OD600 ~0.8) and early stationary phase (OD600 ~2.2-2.4). For both time points, 4 biological replicates were used and 2 were mixed after cDNA labeling, resulting 2 slides for both exponential and stationary phase. Dye swaps are included in both experiments.

Regulation of the Bacillus subtilis alsS, alsD, and alsR genes involved in post-exponential-phase production of acetoin.

Project description:Acetoin is a major extracellular product of Bacillus subtilis grown on glucose and other fermentable carbon sources. The enzymes responsible for the formation of acetoin, acetolactate synthase, and acetolactate decarboxylase are synthesized in detectable amounts only in cells that have reached stationary phase. We have cloned and sequenced the genes encoding these enzymes, alsS and alsD, as well as a gene, alsR, that regulates their expression. alsS and alsD appear to compose a single operon, while alsR is transcribed divergently from the alsSD operon. AlsR shows significant homology to the LysR family of bacterial activator proteins, and when alsR is disrupted the alsSD operon is not expressed. Transcriptional fusions to alsS and alsR revealed that AlsR is required for the transcription of the alsSD operon, which increases during stationary phase. Two mutations that cause increased expression of the alsSD operon have been isolated, cloned, and sequenced. They each change an amino acid in the AlsR protein.

Bacillus subtilis WalR (YycF) ChIP-chip Bacillus subtilis; Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168

Project description:Identification of the specific WalR (YycF) binding regions on the B. subtilis chromosome during exponential and phosphate starvation growth phases. The data serves to extend the WalRK regulon in Bacillus subtilis and its role in cell wall metabolism, as well as implying a role in several other cellular processes.

Membrane protein overproduction stress in Bacillus subtilis

Project description:Comparison of the transcriptome of Bacillus subtilis under going membrane protein overproduction in the wild type, sigW and cssRS deletion strains. We demonstrate that the dynamics of the stress systems involved in membrane overproduction are far more complicated than was first hypothesised and that many more systems than SigW and CssRS are involved in membrane protein overexpression stress. Interestingly the cssRS genes are repressed in the sigW deletion strain.

Translation activity of chimeric ribosomes composed of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis or Geobacillus stearothermophilus subunits.

Project description:Ribosome composition, consisting of rRNA and ribosomal proteins, is highly conserved among a broad range of organisms. However, biochemical studies focusing on ribosomal subunit exchangeability between organisms remain limited. In this study, we show that chimeric ribosomes, composed of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis or E. coli and Geobacillus stearothermophilus subunits, are active for ?-galactosidase translation in a highly purified E. coli translation system. Activities of the chimeric ribosomes showed only a modest decrease when using E. coli 30 S subunits, indicating functional conservation of the 50 S subunit between these bacterial species.

The Bacillus subtilis nucleoid-associated protein HPB12 strongly compacts DNA.

Project description:The HPB12 protein from the nucleoid of Bacillus subtilis was previously described, and its DNA binding properties have been reported previously (V. Salti, F. Le Hégarat, and L. Hirschbein, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1009:161-167, 1989). The DNA-HPB12 complexes were examined by electron microscopy. They appeared as short, slightly curved rods whereas naked DNA showed no compaction. Since only a small number of complexes with an intermediate degree of folding were observed, it appears that the nucleoid-associated protein HPB12 binds cooperatively to DNA, confirming Salti et al. (V. Salti, F. Le Hégarat, and L. Hirschbein, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1009:161-167, 1989), and gives rise to a tightly compacted DNA-protein complex. N-terminal sequencing of purified HPB12 showed that all but one of the first 26 amino acids were identical to those of the L24 ribosomal protein.
