Draft Genome Sequence of Meiothermus ruber H328, Which Degrades Chicken Feathers, and Identification of Proteases and Peptidases Responsible for Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Meiothermus ruber H328 was isolated from Arima Hot Springs, Kobe, Japan, as a moderate thermophile. It has a strong ability to degrade intact chicken feathers. The enzymatic mechanism of the strain for feather degradation is unclear. The draft genome suggests potent enzyme candidates for degradation of keratin, a hard-to-degrade protein found in feathers.

Complete genome sequence of Meiothermus ruber type strain (21).

Project description:Meiothermus ruber (Loginova et al. 1984) Nobre et al. 1996 is the type species of the genus Meiothermus. This thermophilic genus is of special interest, as its members share relatively low degrees of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and constitute a separate evolutionary lineage from members of the genus Thermus, from which they can generally be distinguished by their slightly lower temperature optima. The temperature related split is in accordance with the chemotaxonomic feature of the polar lipids. M. ruber is a representative of the low-temperature group. This is the first completed genome sequence of the genus Meiothermus and only the third genome sequence to be published from a member of the family Thermaceae. The 3,097,457 bp long genome with its 3,052 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

Enhancement of membrane vesicle production by disrupting the degP gene in Meiothermus ruber H328.

Project description:The phenomenon of membrane vesicle (MV) production is known to be common to all bacterial cells. Although MVs are expected to be employed in a variety of applications, improving MV productivity is essential for applications. Since the deletion of the degP gene, a periplasmic dual-function protease and chaperone, in Escherichia coli has successfully improved MV production capacity, we tried to enhance MV productivity in the thermophilic M. ruber H328 by deleting the degP gene. One gene (mrH_0331) was selected for degP gene from the H328 genome and we constructed the mutant strain ∆degP by deleting the degP gene of the H328 strain that was replaced with the htk gene showing thermophilic kanamaycin resistance by homologous recombination. The mutant strain ∆degP exhibited smooth growth but a lower level of turbidity at 60 °C although there was no difference in growth at 55 °C between the wild strain and the mutant strain. Finally, we have confirmed that incubation at 60 °C increases MV in the mutant strain ∆degP strain about fivefold by using two fluorescent dyes, DiI and FM4-64, which is followed by TEM analysis. The deletion of the degP gene presumably causes an increase in denatured proteins at 60 °C, leading to enhanced MV production. Meanwhile, the S-layer protein included in the outer membrane of the H328 strain increased in the MV fraction prepared from the mutant cells incubated at 60 °C. This indicates that this method is effective for MV production and that degP deletion enhances it in strain H328.

Transcriptomic analyses of regenerating adult feathers in chicken.

Project description:Feathers have diverse forms with hierarchical branching patterns and are an excellent model for studying the development and evolution of morphological traits. The complex structure of feathers allows for various types of morphological changes to occur. The genetic basis of the structural differences between different parts of a feather and between different types of feather is a fundamental question in the study of feather diversity, yet there is only limited relevant information for gene expression during feather development.We conducted transcriptomic analysis of five zones of feather morphologies from two feather types at different times during their regeneration after plucking. The expression profiles of genes associated with the development of feather structure were examined. We compared the gene expression patterns in different types of feathers and different portions of a feather and identified morphotype-specific gene expression patterns. Many candidate genes were identified for growth control, morphogenesis, or the differentiation of specific structures of different feather types.This study laid the ground work for studying the evolutionary origin and diversification of feathers as abundant data were produced for the study of feather morphogenesis. It significantly increased our understanding of the complex molecular and cellular events in feather development processes and provided a foundation for future studies on the development of other skin appendages.

Draft Genome Sequence of Propane- and Butane-Oxidizing Actinobacterium Rhodococcus ruber IEGM 231.

Project description:We report a draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus ruber IEGM 231, isolated from a water spring near an oil-extracting enterprise (Perm region, Russian Federation). This sequence provides important insights into the genetic mechanisms of propane and n-butane metabolism, organic sulfide and beta-sitosterol biotransformation, glycolipid biosurfactant production, and heavy metal resistance in actinobacteria.
