Project description:Purified NK cells were co-cultured with M. bovis BCG or M. tuberculosis H37Rv (1:1) in the presence of IL-2 (100U/ml) or IL-12 (10pg/ml) for 24h before trizol extraction. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression underlying NK cell activation by mycobacteria.

Project description:Unlike most bacteria characterized to date at the level of proteins involved in cell division, Salmonella has two alternative penicillin-binding proteins (PBP3 and PBP3SAL) that can direct peptidoglycan synthesis independently to build a septum that separates daughter cells. PBP3SAL main feature is an activity restricted to acidic pH conditions. In this study, we have pulled-down the divisome complex in bacteria lacking either PBP3 or PBP3SAL and identified the proteins that are components of the complex.

We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression underlying NK cell activation by mycobacteria. NK cell were isolated from the blood of 6 independent donors and activated with different mycobacteria and cytokines in order to study their transcriptional profiles according to mycobacterial virulence.

Project description:During cytokinesis in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, contraction of the cytokinetic ring and primary septum synthesis by chitin synthase II (Chs2p) are coupled processes. Myosin II (Myo1p), is involved in the actomyosin ring formation, required for proper cytokinesis, while Chs2p is responsible for the chitin primary septum formation which is necessary to stabilize the cytokinetic ring during its contraction. Morphological phenotypes of myo1∆ and chs2∆ mutants are therefore similar particularly in that both are unable to complete normal cytokinesis. A comparison between the global mRNA transcription profiles of myo1∆ and chs2∆ strains was conducted using oligonucleotide microarrays to establish if these cytokinesis mutants exhibited similar mRNA expression patterns and signature profiles were later generated from gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Genetic experiments were conducted to further test predictions based on the GSEA results. As reported previously in myo1∆ strains, a significant number of protein biosynthesis and RNA processing genes that may be attributed to regulation by cell integrity pathway(s) were also down-regulated in the chs2∆ strain. Genes coding for proteins involved in autophagy were coordinately upregulated only in the chs2∆ strain yet an ATG9 genetic knockout that completely blocks autophagy was viable in chs2∆ and myo1∆ genetic backgrounds.. However, the chs2∆ strain was significantly more susceptible to lysis by B-1,3-glucanase than myo1∆ and fks1 control strains. We interpret this result to indicate that these two cytokinesis mutant strains possess different cell wall properties. This interpretation was further supported by the observation that Slt2p hyperphosphorylation was detected in the chs2∆ strain yet expression of SLT2 was not required for cell viability. We conclude that in contrast to myo1∆ strains, chs2∆ strains do not activate the cell integrity pathway.

Project description:Escherichia coli coordinates replication and division cycles by initiating replication at a narrow range of cell sizes. By tracking replisomes in individual cells through thousands of division cycles in wild-type and mutant strains, we were able to compare the relative importance of previously described control systems. We found that accurate triggering of initiation does not require synthesis of new DnaA. The initiation size increased only marginally as DnaA was diluted by growth after dnaA expression had been turned off. This suggests that the conversion of DnaA between its active ATP- and inactive ADP-bound states is more important for initiation size control than the total free concentration of DnaA. In addition, we found that the known ATP/ADP-converters DARS and datA compensate for each other, although the removal of them makes the initiation size more sensitive to the concentration of DnaA. Only disruption of the regulatory inactivation of DnaA (RIDA) mechanism had a radical impact on replication initiation. This result was corroborated by the finding that termination of one round of replication correlates with the next initiation at intermediate growth rates, as would be the case if RIDA-mediated conversion from DnaA-ATP to DnaA-ADP abruptly stops at termination and DnaA-ATP starts accumulating.

Project description:To identify potential targets of co-regulation by DnaA and Rok, we compared the transcriptional profiles of dnaA null, rok null, and dnaA null rok null mutants. Because a dnaA null mutant requires an oriC- strain background, we used an oriC- oriN+ background for all strains, to allow direct comparisons.

Because a dnaA null mutant requires an oriC- strain background, we used an oriC- oriN+ background for all strains, to allow direct comparisons. We compared biological triplicates for each of the following strains: dnaA null (CAL2074), rok null (CAS196), dnaA null rok null (CAS192), and dnaA+ rok+ (CAL2083; control).

Project description:Initiation of DNA replication requires binding of the initiator protein, DnaA, to specific binding sites in the chromosomal origin of replication, oriC. In low G+C Gram-positive bacteria, the primosomal proteins DnaD and DnaB, in conjunction with loader ATPase DnaI, load the replicative helicase at oriC, and this depends on DnaA. DnaD and DnaB are also required to load the replicative helicase outside of oriC during replication restart, in a DnaA-independent manner. DnaA also binds to many sites around the chromosome, outside of oriC, and acts as a transcription factor at several of these. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we found that DnaD and DnaB, but not the replicative helicase, are associated with many of the chromosomal regions bound by DnaA in vivo in Bacillus subtilis. This association was dependent on DnaA and the order of recruitment was the same as that at oriC, but was independent of a functional oriC. The presence of DnaD and DnaB at the secondary (non-oriC) targets of DnaA in the absence of helicase loading indicates a possible role for DnaD and DnaB in modulating the activity of DnaA.

Project description:Although the major events in prokaryotic cell cycle progression are likely to be coordinated with transcriptional and metabolic changes, these processes remain poorly characterized. Unlike many rapidly growing bacteria, DNA replication and cell division are temporally resolved in mycobacteria, making these slow-growing organisms a potentially useful system to investigate the prokaryotic cell cycle. To determine whether cell-cycle-dependent gene regulation occurs in mycobacteria, we characterized the temporal changes in the transcriptome of synchronously replicating populations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). By enriching for genes that display a sinusoidal expression pattern, we discover 485 genes that oscillate with a period consistent with the cell cycle. During cytokinesis, the timing of gene induction could be used to predict the timing of gene function, as mRNA abundance was found to correlate with the order in which proteins were recruited to the developing septum. Similarly, the expression pattern of primary metabolic genes could be used to predict the relative importance of these pathways for different cell cycle processes. Pyrimidine synthetic genes peaked during DNA replication, and their depletion caused a filamentation phenotype that phenocopied defects in this process. In contrast, the inosine monophasphate dehydrogenase dedicated to guanosine synthesis, GuaB2, displayed the opposite expression pattern and its depletion perturbed septation. Together, these data imply obligate coordination between primary metabolism and cell division and identify periodically regulated genes that can be related to specific cell biological functions.
