Project description:RamA, a 113-amino-acid regulatory protein, belongs to the AraC-XylS transcriptional activator family. Here, the network of genes regulated by RamA was investigated by determining changes in transcript profiles when ramA gene was knocked out from wild type LTL strain, which expresses ramA constitutively. Analysis used aerobic log-phase state RNA from S. Typhimurium strain LTL (ciprofloxacin MIC: 4 µg/ml) derived from S. Typhimurium LT2 by in vitro-induction using ciprofloxacin as control samples for comparison to the experimental samples taken from its mutant strain, LTLvramA with ramA-deletion. Six biological replicates were used for the experiment.Two replicates for each sample. One replicate per array.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium produces a variety of fimbrial appendages, among which the type 1 fimbriae is the most common type. In vitro static broth culture favors S. Typhimurium to produce type 1 fimbriae, while solid agar inhibits its expression. A transposon inserted in the stbC gene, which would encode an usher protein for Stb fimbriae of a non-flagellar S. Typhimurium LB5010 strain, conferred it to agglutinate yeast cells on both cultures, and was mannose-sensitive. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that the expression of the fimbrial major subunit gene fimA, and fimZ, a positive regulator gene of fimA, were both increased in the stbC mutant strain when grown on LB agar; fimW, a repressor gene of fimA, exhibited lower expression. Flagella were observed in the stbC mutant and this phenotype was correlated with the motile phenotype detected by MSRV agar medium and reaction with flagella antiserum. Microarray data and RT-PCR also indicated that the expression of three genes, motA, motB, and cheM, was enhanced in the stbC mutant. The S. Typhimurium stbC mutant was resistant to a variety of antibiotics, consistent with the finding that expression of yhcQ and ramA, two genes involved in multidrug resistance, was enhanced. A complementation test revealed that transforming a recombinant plasmid possessing the coding sequence of the stbC gene restored the mannose-sensitive agglutination phenotype to the stbC mutant much as that in the parental S. Typhimurium LB5010 strain, indicating the possibility of an interplay of different fimbrial systems in coordinating their expression.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium produces type 1 fimbriae on the outer membrane and such hair-like appendages is proposed to play a significant role in the attachment of the bacteria to host cells and tissues. S. Typhimurium cultured in static broth favors expression of type 1 fimbriae. Conversely, solid agar medium represses type 1 fimbrial expression. Production of type 1 fimbriae is cooperatively regulated by fimZ, fimY, stm0551, fimW, and fimU within the fim gene cluster. FimZ belongs to the response regulator of the two-component regulatory system in bacteria and functions as a DNA binding protein. FimZ can bind to the promoter of the fimbrial major subunit gene fimA to activate its expression and produce type 1 fimbriae. A fimZ mutant in LB5010 strain constructed by allelic exchange was found to be non-fimbriate. Total RNA was extracted from the parental LB5010 and the fimZ mutant strain cultured in static broth and analyzed by hybridization to a S. Typhimurium LT2 DNA microarray. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that the stress response related gene cpxP, soxS and type 1 fimbriae related genes were down-regulated, whereas plasmid-encoded fimbriae, flagella associated genes and virulence genes like virK and mgtC were up-regulated in the fimZ mutant strain. It is possible that FimZ protein may play a role to interact with other genes besides fim genes. Mechanisms of this crosstalk warrant further elucidation.

Project description:Cappable-seq was used to map transcription start sites globally in Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344. In addition to naturally occurring plasmids pSLT and pCol1B9, the cells carry derivatives of plasmid pAMNF, or pAMNM, that drive low level constitutive expression of epitope tagged MarA, SoxS, Rob or RamA derivatives.

Project description:Fimbriae are hair-like structures present on the outer membrane of many Enterobacteriaceae and such appendages are proposed to play a significant role in the attachment of the bacteria to host cells and tissues. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium has the potential to produce 13 different fimbrial types, among which type 1 fimbriae is the most common found. Expression of type 1 fimbriae is cooperatively controlled by fimZ, fimY, stm0551, fimW, and fimU within the fim gene cluster. FimZ belongs to the response regulator of the two-component regulatory system in bacteria and functions as a DNA binding protein. FimZ is a positive regulator for type 1 fimbrial expression in S. Typhimurium. A fimZ mutant in ATCC 14028 strain constructed by allelic exchange did not produce type 1 fimbriae. Total RNA was extracted from the parental ATCC 14028 and its fimZ mutant cultured in static broth and analyzed by hybridization to a S. Typhimurium LT2 DNA microarray. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that the type 1 fimbriae related genes, multidrug efflux protein gene acrF were down-regulated, whereas flagella associated genes, chemotaxis and virulence genes such as invF and invH genes were up-regulated in the fimZ mutant strain. It is possible that FimZ protein may play a role to interact with other genes besides regulating type 1 fimbriae.
