Project description:To characterize regulons of alternative sigma factor SigH, SigL, and SigC in Listeria monocytogenes, in-frame mutant strains were created in the 10403S background. Regulons controlled by these 3 alternative sigma factors were characterized by whole-genome microarrays. The L. monocytogenes 10403S wild type and sigma factor null mutation strains were grown at 37 °C to stationary phase (defined in this study as growth to OD600 = 1.0, followed by incubation for an additional 3 h) prior to RNA isolation. Transcriptional profiles of 10403S wild type were compared to those of null mutation strain. In addition to stationary phase condition, SigC regulon was further characterized using heat stress (cultures grown to log phase at OD600 = 0.4, 37 °C and then exposed to heat at 55 °C for 10 min) and a condition with IPTG-inducible expression of sigC (sigC gene is placed under Pspac promoter using pLIV2 vector in wild type 10403S background). Under these conditions, expression profiles were compared between (i) wild type and sigC null mutant for heat stress and (ii) IPTG-inducible sigC strain and sigC null mutant, respectively. Using adjusted P < 0.05 and ≥ 1.5 fold change as cutoff values, microarray analyses identified 169 SigH-dependent, 51 SigL-dependent, and 3 SigC-dependent genes.

Project description:Transcriptional profile of wild type L. monocytogenes (EGDe) and a pycA mutant strain was compared on growth in BHI. The human pathogen L. monocytogenes is a facultatively intracellular bacterium that survives and replicates in the cytosol of many mammalian cells. The listerial metabolism, especially under intracellular conditions , is still poorly understood. Recent studies analyzed the carbon metabolism of L. monocytogenes by the 13C-isotopologue perturbation method in a defined minimal medium containing [U-13C6]glucose. It was shown that these bacteria produce oxaloacetate mainly by carboxylation of pyruvate due to an incomplete tricarboxylic acid cycle. Here we report that a pycA insertion mutant defective in pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) still grows, albeit at a reduced rate, in BHI medium, but is unable to multiply in a defined minimal medium with glucose or glycerol 36 as carbon source. Transcriptional profiling was performed on the pycA mutant and the wild type strain grown in BHI to get a closer insight into the effect of the pycA mutation in Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes uses a number of transcriptional regulators, including the negative regulator HrcA, to control gene expression under different environmental conditions and in response to stress. Gene expression patterns of DhrcA stationary phase cells were compared to wt to identify hrcA-dependent genes. We identified 61 HrcA-dependent genes that showed significant expression ratios (adj. P < 0.05), with ≥ 1.5-fold differential expression between ΔhrcA and wt. Combined with microarray analysis, Hidden Markov Model searches show HrcA directly repress at least 8 genes.

Project description:The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes uses a number of transcriptional regulators, including the negative regulator CtsR, to control gene expression under different environmental conditions and in response to stress. Gene expression patterns of DctsR log phase cells were compared to both wt and ictsR-mcsA log phase cells grown with 0.5mM IPTG to identify CtsR-dependent genes.We identified 62 CtsR-dependent genes that showed significant expression ratios (adj. P < 0.05), with ≥ 1.5-fold differential expression either between ΔctsR and wt or between ΔctsR and ictsR-mcsA. Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes, CtsR regulon, log phase

Project description:CodY and GlnR are two major transcriptional regulators in nitrogen metabolism in Gram-positive bacteria. CodY regulates genes involved in the adaptive response to poor growth conditions, especially to nutrient limitation. GlnR controls nitrogen utilization according to the availability of nitrogen source. In this study we used microarray to investigate the regulatory roles that CodY and GlnR play in nitrogen metabolism in Streptococcus mutans. Streptococcus mutans UA159 wild-type cells, ΔcodY, ΔglnR, and ΔcodYglnR strains were grown in a chemically-defined medium until the mid-log phase. The nitrogen source was 1% tryptone. Twenty millimolar sodium thiosulfate was added to the medium to support cysteine biosynthesis. The transcriptional profile of the whole genome was examined with microarray.

Project description:As the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has the ability to grow at refrigeration temperatures, whole-genome microarray experiments were performed using L. monocytogenes strain 10403S to define the cold stress regulon and to identify genes differentially expressed during growth at 4°C and 37°C. Microarray analysis using a stringent cutoff (adjusted p<0.001; fold-change >2.0) revealed 105 and 170 genes that showed higher transcript levels in logarithmic- and stationary-phase cells, respectively, at 4°C (compared to cells at 37°C). A total of 74 and 102 genes showed lower transcript levels in logarithmic- and stationary-phase cells grown at 4°C, respectively. Genes upregulated at 4°C during both stationary- and log-phase included those encoding a two-component response regulator (lmo0287), a cold shock protein (cspL), and two RNA helicases (lmo0866 and lmo1722), whereas genes encoding selected virulence factors and heat shock proteins were downregulated at 4°C. Selected genes that were upregulated at 4°C during both stationary- and log-phase were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Our data show (i) a large number of L. monocytogenes genes are differentially expressed at 4 and 37°C with a larger number of genes showing higher transcript level at 4°C than genes showing lower transcript levels at 4°C; (ii) L. monocytogenes genes upregulated at 4°C include a number of genes and operons with previously reported or plausible roles in cold adaptation; and (iii) L. monocytogenes genes downregulated at 4°C include a number of virulence and virulence-associated genes as well as some heat shock genes.

Project description:PrfA activity was studied in L. monocytogenes strain EGD and in an isogenic prfA deletion mutant (EGDΔprfA) carrying multiple copies of the wild-type prfA or the mutant prfA* gene (strains EGDΔprfApPrfA and EGDΔprfApPrfA*) after growth in brain heart infusion (BHI), Luria-Bertani broth (LB) or a defined minimal medium (MM) supplemented either with one of the three PTS-carbohydrates, glucose, mannose and cellobiose, or the non-PTS carbon source glycerol. Low PrfA activity was observed in the wild-type EGD strain in BHI and LB with either of these carbon sources, while PrfA activity was high in minimal medium in presence of glycerol but significantly reduced in presence of cellobiose. The strains expressing the prfA and prfA* gene under the prfA promoters, P1 and P2, produced equally large amounts of PrfA protein and high PrfA activity was observed in strain EGDΔprfApPrfA* under all growth conditions. In contrast, high PrfA activity in strain EGDΔprfApPrfA was only observed when this strain was cultured in BHI but not in LB or MM (in presence of either carbon source). A ptsH mutant (lacking a functional HPr) was able to grow in BHI suggesting that growth of L. monocytogenes in this culture medium is supported by carbon sources whose uptake and metabolism are independent of the PTS pathway. However, this mutant was unable to grow in LB and MM regardless which of the four carbon sources was added, suggesting that uptake of the used carbohydrates and the catabolism of glycerol depend fully on the functional common PTS pathway. Furthermore, the growth rates of L. monocytogenes are strongly reduced in presence of large amounts of PrfA protein when growing MM but less in LB and only slightly in BHI. The expression profiles of the genes encoding PTS permeases were determined in the three strains under various growth conditions. The data suggest that PrfA activity correlates with the expression level and the phosphorylation state of specific PTS permeases. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
