The study of EF4 mediated gene expression under tetracycline stress in two Escherichia coli strains

ABSTRACT: Purpose: We use the gene expression data to estimate the effects of tetracycline on gene expression and average ribosome density. Methods: The mRNAs were extracted with TRIzol reagent. The mRNAs were fragmented into 280 bp and the sequencing process was conducted on HiSeq 2500 platform. We use cutadapt, bowtie2, Plastid and DEseq2 software to analyze the expression levels of genes in two Escherichia coli strains. Results: The gene expression in EF4 knockout Escherichia coli strain was similar with BW25113 strain under normal condition. Under tetracycline treatment, many genes' expression were differentially regulated. Interestingly, we found that the gene expression of ribosomal proteins was up-regulated in WT strain comparing with EF4 knockout E. coli strain. Conclusions: Our results suggest that EF4 affects the average ribosome density and global gene expression in two Escherichia coli strain under tetracycline treatment.

Project description:Tan2012 - Antibiotic Treatment, Inoculum Effect The efficacy of many antibiotics decreases with increasing bacterial density, a phenomenon called the ‘inoculum effect’ (IE). This study reveals that, for ribosome-targeting antibiotics, IE is due to bistable inhibition of bacterial growth, which reduces the efficacy of certain treatment frequencies. This model is described in the article: The inoculum effect and band-pass bacterial response to periodic antibiotic treatment. Tan C, Phillip Smith R, Srimani JK, Riccione KA, Prasada S, Kuehn M, You L. Mol Syst Biol. 2012 Oct 9; 8:617 Abstract: The inoculum effect (IE) refers to the decreasing efficacy of an antibiotic with increasing bacterial density. It represents a unique strategy of antibiotic tolerance and it can complicate design of effective antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections. To gain insight into this phenomenon, we have analyzed responses of a lab strain of Escherichia coli to antibiotics that target the ribosome. We show that the IE can be explained by bistable inhibition of bacterial growth. A critical requirement for this bistability is sufficiently fast degradation of ribosomes, which can result from antibiotic-induced heat-shock response. Furthermore, antibiotics that elicit the IE can lead to 'band-pass' response of bacterial growth to periodic antibiotic treatment: the treatment efficacy drastically diminishes at intermediate frequencies of treatment. Our proposed mechanism for the IE may be generally applicable to other bacterial species treated with antibiotics targeting the ribosomes.
