Project description:A transcription factor (TF), OmpR, plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation of the defense system for osmotic stress in bacteria. However, its full genome-wide regulatory potential is unknown. Here, we perform a genome-scale reconstruction of the OmpR regulon in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. Integrative data analysis reveals that a total of 37 genes in 24 transcription units (TUs) belong to OmpR regulon. Among them, 26 genes show more than two-fold changes in expression level under OmpR knock-out condition. We find that OmpR tends to regulate mostly membrane-located gene products of diverse fundamental biological processes, such as narU, ompX, and nuoN. Investigating co-regulation of entire set of genes regulated by other stress-response TFs unveils that they are surprisingly independently regulated by TF(s) responding to each stress. Additionally, detailed investigation of physiological roles of newly discovered OmpR regulon reveals that activation of narU encoding nitrate/nitrite transporter is a relatively unique strategy of E. coli K-12 MG1655 to significantly improve cellular tolerance toward osmotic stress.

Project description:Among colicin producing E. coli, colicin M producing strains are the most frequently present in natural populations. Bacteria must be able to sense and respond to unfavourable conditions, resulting in adaptive responses. To gain insight into colicin M ecological role and the purposes related to antimicrobial therapy, the effects of subinhibitory concentrations of colicin M on E. coli whole genome transcription was investigated. We used microarray analysis to follow differential gene expression in E. coli upon colicin M exposure. Colicin M inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis altering expression of genes involved in envelope stress, osmotic and other stresses, exopolysaccharide prodoction, biofilm formation, and cell motility. A sub-lethal concentration of colicin M was used to treat E. coli MG1655 cultures at an early logarithmic phase. The experiments were performed in parallel with untreated control E. coli MG1655 cultures. Total RNA was extracted after 30 min and 60 min treatment with colicin M and used for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Escherichia coli O157 presents a number of specific problems in terms of food safety and public health. It has been found that E. coli O157 is more resistant to a number of the stresses encountered during food production such as heat, pH and osmotic shock. This greater resistance is thought to contribute to the low infectious dose of E. coli O157 (<100 organisms). Moreover, E. coli O157 is associated with debilitating conditions such as haemorrhagic colitis and haemoytic uraemic syndrome, particularly in children and the elderly. We have been studying the stress responses of E. coli O157:H7 (Sakai) and comparing with a commensal strain of E. coli K-12, MG1655. We found that E. coli O157 (Sakai) is more resistant to heat stress than MG1655. A microarray study of these strains subjected to sub-lethal heat-stress at 45M-BM-0C was carried out. In E. coli O157 (Sakai), 380 genes responded significantly to the treatment compared to 410 genes in MG1655. Overnight cultures of E. coli O157 (Sakai) and E. coli K-12 MG1655 were grown in Neidhardt's EZ Rich Defined Medium and diluted 1:100 in 50 ml fresh medium in 125 ml Ehrlenmeyer flasks. The cultures were shaken at 37M-BM-0C until the optical density (OD600) reached 0.4. Each culture was divided into 2 equal parts in identical flasks. One flask flask was transferred to a shaking water bath and incubated at 45M-BM-0C for 10 min; the other flask was incubated at 37M-BM-0C for 10 min. After incubation, the cultures were transferred to 50 mL centrifuge tubes and treated with RNAprotectM-bM-^DM-" to stabilise the mRNA. The experiment was performed 3 times on different days. Six custom-made microarray slides were used in this study; each slide was hybridised with labelled cDNA made from untreated and heated E. coli O157 (Sakai) or MG1655.

Project description:To study the regulatory outcome of Hfq-mediated sRNA-target interactions, we measured the change in gene expression following overexpression of each of five well-established sRNAs: GcvB, MicA, ArcZ, RyhB and CyaR. For each of the studied sRNAs we applied RNA-seq to two E. coli K-12 MG1655 strains: (1) a WT strain or a strain deleted of the sRNA gene; (2) a strain overexpressing the sRNA, either artificially from a plasmid or from the endogenous sRNA gene by changing the growth condition. For GcvB induction, the E. coli K-12 MG1655 Z1 gcvB::Cm, pZA12-gcvB and the E. coli K-12 MG1655 Z1 gcvB::Cm, pTP-011 strains were used. For MicA overexpression the E. coli K-12 MG1655lacIq pBRplac, pEF21-Hfq and the E. coli K-12 MG1655lacIq pMicA, pEF21-Hfq strains were used. For ArcZ induction the E. coli K-12 MG1655 Z1 arcZ::Cm, pZE12-ArcZ and the E. coli K-12 MG1655 Z1 arcZ::Cm, pJV300 strains were used. For RyhB overexpression the E. coli K-12 MG1655 ryhB::Cm and the E. coli K-12 MG1655 were used. For CyaR induction the E. coli K-12 MG1655 Z1 cyaR::Cm, pZE12-CyaR and the E. coli K-12 MG1655 Z1 cyaR::Cm, pJV300 strains were used. All E. coli strains used in this study were grown overnight in Luria Bertani (LB) medium at 37 °C with shaking (200 r.p.m.), diluted 100-fold in fresh LB medium, and re-grown with shaking at 37 °C to exponential phase, for GcvB (OD600 = 0.3) and for RyhB (OD600 = 0.5), or to stationary phase, for ArcZ WT, ArcZ M1, ArcZ M2 and CyaR (OD600 = 1.0) and for MicA (grown for 6 hr). For induction of ArcZ and GcvB, IPTG was added (1mM, 20 min). MicA was constitutively expressed and further induced at the end of growth with IPTG (1mM, 20 min). For induction of RyhB, the iron chelator 2,2'-Dipyridyl was added (200 μM, 30 min).

Project description:When challenged with osmotic shock, S. cerevisiae induces hundreds of genes, despite a global reduction in transcriptional capacity. The mechanisms that regulate this rapid reallocation of transcriptional resources are not known. Here we show that redistribution of RNA Pol II upon stress requires the stress-responsive MAP kinase Hog1. We find that Hog1 and RNA Pol II co-localize to open reading frames that bypass global transcriptional repression, and that these targets are specified by two osmotic stress-responsive transcription factors. The combination of reduced global transcription with a gene-specific override mechanism allows cells to rapidly switch their transcriptional program in response to stress.

We found that E. coli O157 (Sakai) is more sensitive to oxidative stress than MG1655. A microarray study of these strains treated with sub-lethal concentrations (0.5mg/ml) of menadione revealed big differences in their responses. In E. coli O157 (Sakai), 540 genes responded significantly to the treatment compared to 121 genes in MG1655. One surprising finding from the microarray data was the observation that many iron-transport genes were up-regulated in E. coli O157 (Sakai) whereas relatively few were induced in MG1655 despite the fact that the bacteria were grown in a medium containing ample iron. We speculated that the induction of iron transport genes in an iron-rich medium might have contributed to the enhanced killing of E. coli O157 (Sakai) through triggering of a Fenton reaction. We speculated that the difference in sensitivity to oxidative stress might be due to differences in the intracellular iron content of E. coli O157 and MG1655. We found that E. coli O157 contains ~50% more iron than MG1655 and believe that during oxidative stress, this iron is released by damaged proteins. The greater levels of free iron in E. coli O157 will trigger a greater Fenton reaction that can damage the ferric uptake regulator (Fur), resulting in unregulated iron transport. In MG1655, the lower iron content results in a smaller Fenton reaction, enabling the cellular protection systems to limit damage and protect Fur.

Project description:In bacteria, one paradigm for signal transduction is the two-component regulatory system, consisting of a sensor kinase (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a DNA binding protein). The EnvZ/OmpR two-component system in E. coli responds to osmotic stress and regulates expression of outer membrane proteins. Furthermore, bacteria were believed to regulate pH by acidifying after external acid stress, then immediately recovering. Using a pH-sensor in single living cells, we show that E. coli maintain an acidic cytoplasm. The osmotic stress transcription factor OmpR, was required. Thus, we set out to identify the OmpR targets under acid and osmotic stress.

Project description:We probed the mechanism of cross-regulation of osmotic and heat stress responses by characterizing the effects of high osmolarity (0.3M vs. 0.0M NaCl) and temperature (43oC vs. 30oC) on the transcriptome of Escherichia coli K12 using E. coli Genome 2 Array (Affymetrix, Inc.). Independent array hybridizations were carried out for 3 biological replicates (independent cultures). Total RNA was extracted using a hot phenol-chloroform method. cDNA synthesis, fragmentation and labeling, and washing and scanning of E. coli GeneChip Arrays were performed according to the instructions of the manufacturer (Affymetrix Technical Manual, Affymetrix, Inc., USA). Labeled cDNA was hybridized to E. coli Genome 2 Array (Affymetrix, Inc.). Independent array hybridizations were carried out for 3 biological replicates (independent cultures) of each condition. A number of genes in the SoxRS and OxyR oxidative stress regulons were up-regulated by high osmolarity, high temperature, and/or by the combination of both stresses. This result could account for cross-protection of osmotic stress against oxidative stress. The trehalose biosynthetic genes were induced by both stresses, in accord with the proposed protective role of this disaccharide against thermal and oxidative damage. Keywords: Affymetrix microarrays
