Amino acid variability in the peptide composition of a suite of amphiphilic peptide siderophores from an open ocean Vibrio species.

ABSTRACT: In response to iron-depleted aerobic conditions, bacteria often secrete low molecular weight, high-affinity iron(III)-complexing ligands, siderophores, to solubilize and sequester iron(III). Many marine siderophores are amphiphilic and are produced in suites, wherein each member within a particular suite has the same iron(III)-binding polar head group which is appended by one or two fatty acids of differing length, degree of unsaturation, and degree of hydroxylation, establishing the suite composition. We report the isolation and structural characterization of a suite of siderophores from marine bacterial isolate Vibrio sp. Nt1. On the basis of structural analysis, this suite of siderophores, the moanachelins, is amphiphilic and composed of two N-acetyl-N-hydroxy-D-ornithines, one N-acetyl-N-hydroxy-L-ornithine, and either a glycine or an L-alanine, appended with various saturated and unsaturated fatty acid tails. The variation in the small side-chain amino acid is the first occurrence of variation in the peptidic head group structure of a set of siderophores produced by a single bacterium.

Project description:BackgroundThe advent of modern high-throughput genetics continually broadens the gap between the rising volume of sequencing data, and the tools required to process them. The need to pinpoint a small subset of functionally important variants has now shifted towards identifying the critical differences between normal variants and disease-causing ones. The ever-increasing reliance on cloud-based services for sequence analysis and the non-transparent methods they utilize has prompted the need for more in-situ services that can provide a safer and more accessible environment to process patient data, especially in circumstances where continuous internet usage is limited.ResultsTo address these issues, we herein propose our standalone Open-source Variant Analysis Sequencing (OVAS) pipeline; consisting of three key stages of processing that pertain to the separate modes of annotation, filtering, and interpretation. Core annotation performs variant-mapping to gene-isoforms at the exon/intron level, append functional data pertaining the type of variant mutation, and determine hetero/homozygosity. An extensive inheritance-modelling module in conjunction with 11 other filtering components can be used in sequence ranging from single quality control to multi-file penetrance model specifics such as X-linked recessive or mosaicism. Depending on the type of interpretation required, additional annotation is performed to identify organ specificity through gene expression and protein domains. In the course of this paper we analysed an autosomal recessive case study. OVAS made effective use of the filtering modules to recapitulate the results of the study by identifying the prescribed compound-heterozygous disease pattern from exome-capture sequence input samples.ConclusionOVAS is an offline open-source modular-driven analysis environment designed to annotate and extract useful variants from Variant Call Format (VCF) files, and process them under an inheritance context through a top-down filtering schema of swappable modules, run entirely off a live bootable medium and accessed locally through a web-browser.
