Genome of Helicobacter pylori strain 908.

ABSTRACT: Helicobacter pylori is a genetically diverse and coevolved pathogen inhabiting human gastric niches and leading to a spectrum of gastric diseases in susceptible populations. We describe the genome sequence of H. pylori 908, which was originally isolated from an African patient living in France who suffered with recrudescent duodenal ulcer disease. The strain was found to be phylogenetically related to H. pylori J99, and its comparative analysis revealed several specific genome features and novel insertion-deletion and substitution events. The genome sequence revealed several strain-specific deletions and/or gain of genes exclusively present in HP908 compared with different sequenced genomes already available in the public domain. Comparative and functional genomics of HP908 and its subclones will be important in understanding genomic plasticity and the capacity to colonize and persist in a changing host environment.

Project description:Dear Sir or Madam, we report an in-depth proteogenomics study of Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 and provide the supporting MS data via ProteomExchange. The study includes 2 biological replicates with 6 different datasets: G1: in-gel digestion with trypsin, replicate 1 G2: in-gel digestion with trypsin, replicate 2 T1: SEC fractionation of low molecular weight (LMW) proteins and subsequent trypsin digestion, replicate 1 T2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent trypsin digestion, replicate 2 A1: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent AspN digestion, replicate 1 A2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent AspN digestion, replicate 2 L1: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent LysC digestion, replicate 1 L2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent LysC digestion, replicate 2 In our proteogenomics approach, we could identify four previously missing protein annotations and were able to correct sequences of six protein coding regions. Furthermore we identified signal peptidase cleavage sites for 72 different proteins. MGFs were generated by Maxquant 1.1 [1] using recalibration of peptide parent masses. For PRIDE (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride) submission, we made an additional database search with Mascot and X!Tandem using the SearchGUI [2]. Therefore we searched against a NCBI database of H. pylori strain 26695 complemented with the sequence corrections, signal peptide cleavage sites and missing annotations with the same configurations as described in materials and methods. For pride xml export we used the software PeptideShaker (http://code.google.com/p/peptide-shaker/). The complemented database has entries which will be submitted to the UniProtKB via SPIN. The entries have the according SPIN number as accession number. The NCBI accession numbers for the shortened sequences due to signal peptide cleavage are extended with “_1”. The fasta database is added to the submission.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The Mongolian gerbils are a good model to mimic the Helicobacter pylori-associated pathogenesis of the human stomach. In the current study the gerbil-adapted strain B8 was completely sequenced, annotated and compared to previous genomes, including the 73 supercontigs of the parental strain B128. RESULTS: The complete genome of H. pylori B8 was manually curated gene by gene, to assign as much function as possible. It consists of a circular chromosome of 1,673,997 bp and of a small plasmid of 6,032 bp carrying nine putative genes. The chromosome contains 1,711 coding sequences, 293 of which are strain-specific, coding mainly for hypothetical proteins, and a large plasticity zone containing a putative type-IV-secretion system and coding sequences with unknown function. The cag-pathogenicity island is rearranged such that the cagA-gene is located 13,730 bp downstream of the inverted gene cluster cagB-cag1. Directly adjacent to the cagA-gene, there are four hypothetical genes and one variable gene with a different codon usage compared to the rest of the H. pylori B8-genome. This indicates that these coding sequences might be acquired via horizontal gene transfer.The genome comparison of strain B8 to its parental strain B128 delivers 425 unique B8-proteins. Due to the fact that strain B128 was not fully sequenced and only automatically annotated, only 12 of these proteins are definitive singletons that might have been acquired during the gerbil-adaptation process of strain B128. CONCLUSION: Our sequence data and its analysis provide new insight into the high genetic diversity of H. pylori-strains. We have shown that the gerbil-adapted strain B8 has the potential to build, possibly by a high rate of mutation and recombination, a dynamic pool of genetic variants (e.g. fragmented genes and repetitive regions) required for the adaptation-processes. We hypothesize that these variants are essential for the colonization and persistence of strain B8 in the gerbil stomach during in ammation.
