The conserved regulatory RNA RsaE down-regulates the arginine degradation pathway in Staphylococcus aureus [ssRNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Bacterial regulatory RNAs (sRNA) generally act by base-pairing with target mRNAs. While identification of sRNA targets is the essential step in sRNA characterization, it remains a stumbling block in most studies. To study sRNA-regulated networks in the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, we used a RNA-RNA interactome screening method for identifying sRNA targets based on synthetic sRNAs that are used in vitro as bait to trap their corresponding targets. In addition, the transcriptomic effects of sRNA deletion and sRNA accumulation were analyzed by differential expression analyzes of RNA-seq data. This strategy was applied to study RsaE, a regulatory RNA highly conserved amongst Firmicutes and revealed that RsaE targets the arginase rocF mRNA via direct interactions involving G-rich motifs. Two duplicated C-rich motifs of RsaE can independently downregulate rocF expression. However, the relative activity of these motifs is substrate dependent. Metabolite quantifications in wild-type and ΔrsaE cultures indicate that the absence of RsaE affects amino acid metabolism. Collectively, the data support the model that RsaE acts as a global regulator downregulating functions associated to metabolic adaptation.

The conserved regulatory RNA RsaE down-regulates the arginine degradation pathway in Staphylococcus aureus [Hybrid-Trap-seq]

Project description:Bacterial regulatory RNAs (sRNA) generally act by base-pairing with target mRNAs. While identification of sRNA targets is the essential step in sRNA characterization, it remains a stumbling block in most studies. To study sRNA-regulated networks in the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, we used a RNA-RNA interactome screening method for identifying sRNA targets based on synthetic sRNAs that are used in vitro as bait to trap their corresponding targets. The key to target discovery lies in the differential analysis of RNA-seq data from captures with different sRNAs and from ΔrsaE and RsaE over-expressing strains. This strategy was applied to study RsaE, a regulatory RNA highly conserved amongst Firmicutes and revealed that RsaE targets the arginase rocF mRNA via direct interactions involving G-rich motifs. Two duplicated C-rich motifs of RsaE can independently downregulate rocF expression. However, the relative activity of these motifs is substrate dependent.

Hfq CLASH uncovers sRNA-target interaction networks linked to nutrient availability adaptation [CLASH]

Project description:By shaping gene expression profiles, small RNAs (sRNAs) enable bacteria to efficiently adapt to changes in their environment. To better understand how Escherichia coli acclimatizes to nutrient availability, we performed UV cross-linking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) to uncover Hfq-associated RNA-RNA interactions at specific growth stages. We demonstrate that Hfq CLASH robustly captures bona fide RNA-RNA interactions identified hundreds of novel sRNA base-pairing interactions, including many sRNA-sRNA interactions and involving 3’UTR-derived sRNAs. We rediscovered known and identified novel sRNA seed sequences. The sRNA-mRNA interactions identified by CLASH have strong base-pairing potential and are highly enriched for complementary sequence motifs, even those supported by only a few reads. Yet, steady state levels of most mRNA targets were not significantly affected upon over-expression of the sRNA regulator. Our results reinforce the idea that the reproducibility of the interaction, not base-pairing potential, is a stronger predictor for a regulatory outcome.

RNase III CLASH uncovers sRNA regulatory networks coupling metabolism to production of cytolytic toxins in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Project description:Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infectious pathogen that poses a significant threat to human health. MRSA is renowned for its ability to adapt to and even thrive in hostile environment within its host. By expressing a battery of virulence factors and toxins, MRSA is able to scavenge effectively essential nutrients and evade the immune system within the host. Post-transcriptional regulation by sRNAs contributes significantly to regulating the expression of virulence factors and toxins. However, the roles of the vast majority of sRNAs during host adaptation remain unknown. To challenge this gap, we performed UV cross-linking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) in S. aureus to unravel sRNA-RNA interactions with the double stranded ribonuclease III (RNase III) as a bait under conditions that mimic the host environment. Here we report a global analysis of RNA-RNA interactions in MRSA in vivo, which uncovered hundreds of novel sRNA-RNA pairs. Strikingly, our results indicate that the production of small membrane-permeabilizing toxins is under extensive sRNA-mediated regulation and that their expression is intimately connected to metabolism. We show that at least two sRNAs, RNAIII and RsaE, enhance the production of five clinically relevant cytolytic toxins that are important for survival within the host. Taken together, our data greatly expands the repertoire of sRNA-target interactions in S. aureus and provide detail on how these contribute to adjusting virulence in response to changes in metabolism.

New RoxS sRNA targets identified in B. subtilis by pulsed SILAC

Project description:Non-coding RNA (sRNA) are playing a key role in gene expression in bacteria. In general, sRNA regulates gene expression by base-pairing with ribosome binding sites to block translation. The modification of the ribosome trafficking generally affects mRNA stability. However, few examples have been described in bacteria where sRNA binding are mainly affected translation without modifying mRNA stability. In order to identify such targets in B. subtilis, we developed a pulsed-SILAC method allowing to label new protein synthesis after a short expression of the sRNA. We applied it to the best characterized sRNA in this bacteria, namely RoxS. RoxS sRNA was previously shown to interfere with the expression of genes encoding enzymes of the central metabolism to control the NAD/NADH ratio in B. subtilis.

Implementation of PAR-CLIP to characterize RNA-protein interactions in prokaryotes at nucleotide resolution

Project description:The identification of RNAs that are recognized by RNA-binding proteins (RNA-BPs) using techniques such as Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (CLIP) has revolutionized the genome-wide discovery of RNA-BP RNA targets. Among the different versions of CLIP that have been developed, the use of photoactivable nucleoside analogs has resulted in high efficiency photoactivable ribonucleoside-enhanced CLIP (PAR-CLIP) in vivo. Nonetheless, PAR-CLIP has not yet been applied in prokaryotes. To determine if PAR-CLIP can be used in prokaryotes, we determined suitable conditions for the incorporation of 4-thiouridine (4SU), a photoactivable nucleoside, into E. coli RNA and for the isolation of RNA crosslinked to RNA-BPs of interest. Applying this technique to Hfq, a well-characterized regulator of small RNA (sRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) interactions, we showed that PAR-CLIP identified most of the known sRNA targets of Hfq, as well as functionally relevant sites of Hfq-mRNA interactions at nucleotide resolution. Based on our findings, PAR-CLIP represents an improved method to identify both the RNAs and the specific regulatory sites that are recognized by RNA-BPs in prokaryotes.

Global post-transcriptional control of genes involved in amino acid metabolism by the Hfq-dependent GcvB RNA

Project description:The control of amino acid synthesis and transport in bacteria has been well-investigated at the transcriptional level. The discovery of a small Hfq-dependent regulatory RNA, GcvB, added another layer of gene expression control at the post-transcriptional level. GcvB RNA has been shown to directly regulate multiple ABC transporters for amino acids in E. coli and Salmonella using a highly conserved G/U-rich domain, R1. To identify additional GcvB targets, we have combined a sRNA pulse-expression and microarray analysis of whole transcriptome changes with biocomputational target searches for C/A- rich target sites in Salmonella. Moreover, we have included GcvB mutant RNAs in our microarray approach providing a new target search approach by inactivating conserved domains or target interaction sites. This dual approach revealed further amino acid transporters and, in addition, genes involved in amino acid metabolism as consensus R1-dependent GcvB targets. Moreover, GcvB RNA seems to bind with at least two binding sites to an R1-independent target, the glycine transporter cycA. Using GFP reporter gene fusions we have now validated 21 GcvB targets which is best to our knowledge with ~1% of all Salmonella protein coding genes, the largest bacterial sRNA-controlled regulon. Intriguingly, GcvB rewires many primary control circuits and, thus, constitutes an important metabolic knot.

Characterize the regulon of 6C sRNA in Mycobacteria smegmatis

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to identify the putative mRNA targets that are regulated by the 6C sRNA. We constuct an inducible vector to transiently overexpressed the 6C sRNA in M. smegmatis, and then we perform RNA-Seq to look for genes that are differicently expressed upon the over-expression of 6C sRNA, which we think these genes are the potential targets of the 6C sRNA.

tRNA quantification of five human cell lines by hydro-tRNAseq and small RNA-seq

Project description:We analyze whether tRNA quantifications based on small RNA-seq data are informative enough to distinguish between different human cell lines covering multiple tissue types. We therefore apply both small RNA-seq and Hydro-tRNAseq to HEK293 (kidney), HCT116 (colon), HeLa (cervix), MDA-MB-231 (breast), and BJ fibroblasts. First, the correlations between the two methods of identical samples and computational mapping pipeline range between 0.93 and 0.96 for all cell lines. tRNA quantifications from both protocols are compared and significantly higher Spearman correlations are obtained within matching samples versus mismatching cell lines. In consequence, we demonstrate that small RNA-seq quantifications of sample-specific tRNA profiles show a good agreement with conventional tRNA-seq.
