A computational framework for identifying promoter sequences in non-model organisms using RNA-seq datasets

ABSTRACT: We developed a computational framework to discover short DNA sequences that confer strong expression in non-model organisms. The framework relies solely on whole genome and RNA sequencing data types, which are easily accessible to a variety of research groups. The framework proceeds in three main stages: 1) identification of a group of highly expressed loci that maintain high transcript counts across a broad range of experimental conditions, 2) extraction of the corresponding upstream candidate promoter regions of these highly expressed loci while minding nearby annotations and avoiding those that may potentially reside in operons, and 3) application of the motif finding algorithm in BioProspector to these upstream regions to predict the location and sequence of the -35 and -10 hexamers that drive the strong expression of these loci. Ultimately, we report sequences of 27-30 bases in length as candidate -35, -10 signals for each of the top loci and create a consensus motif from these predictions. We apply our framework to 80 RNA-seq datasets collected for the methanotroph Methylotuvimicrobium buryatense 5GB1 and validate our predictions computationally and experimentally. The data deposited here represent all RNA-seq data that, until this study, has not previously been published.

A methanotrophic bacterium to enable direct methane capture for climate mitigation

Project description:We report here a methanotroph, Methylotuvimicrobium buryatense 5GB1C, that consumes methane at 500ppm at rates several times higher than any previously published. Analyses of bioreactor-based performance and RNAseq based transcriptomics suggest that this superior ability to utilize low methane is based at least in part on an extremely low non-growth associated maintenance energy and on a 5-fold higher methane specific affinity than previous reports.

OXYGEN-LIMITED METABOLISM IN THE METHANOTROPH METHYLOMICROBIUM BURYATENSE 5GB1C

Project description:The bacteria that grow on methane aerobically (methanotrophs) support populations of non-methanotrophs in the natural environment by excreting methane-derived carbon. One group of excreted compounds are short-chain organic acids, generated in highest abundance when cultures are grown under O2-starvation. We examined this O2-starvation condition in the methanotroph Methylomicrobium buryatense 5GB1C . Under prolonged O2-starvation in a closed vial, this methanotroph increases the amount of acetate excreted about 10-fold, but the formate, lactate, and succinate excreted do not respond to this culture condition. In bioreactor cultures, the amount of each excreted product is similar across a range of growth rates and limiting substrates, including O2-limitation. A set of mutants were generated in genes predicted to be involved in generating or regulating excretion of these compounds and tested for growth defects, and changes in excretion products. The phenotypes and associated metabolic flux modeling suggested that in M. buryatense 5GB1C, formate and acetate are excreted in response to redox imbalance, and the resulting metabolic state represents a combination of fermentation and respiration metabolism.

Determination of the transcription start sites of heterologous promoters in Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 by 5'-end specific transcriptome sequencing

Project description:The promoter structure influences binding and clearance of RNA polymerase and therefore substantially influences expression of a gene. A promoter usually consists of a -10 and a -35-region, an extended -10-motif and A+T-rich upstream promoter elements. Most of these elements are optional, whereas the -10-region is essential (Albersmeier et al. 2017). Knowledge about the transcription start sites (TSS) of genes allows genome-wide localization and determination of the promoter regions. In our group, a special protocol for the amplification of primary transcripts was developed, including the capture of primary transcripts, rewriting them into cDNA (complementary DNA) and amplification in the further course of the protocol (Pfeifer-Sancar et al. 2013). Here, TSS were manually determined with special regard to the heterologous promoters. For each construct, at least one and up to three different TSS were found, leading to the identification of one or several -10-core-hexamers. These were located mostly 6 to 7 nucleotides upstream of each TSS, which corresponds to the average distance of 6.4 nt described for Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 by Schwientek et al. (2014).

Core metabolism shifts of methanol vs. methane growth in the methanotroph Methylomicrobium buryatense 5GB1

Project description:Methylomicrobium buryatense 5GB1 is an obligate methylotroph, which grows on methane or methanol with similar growth rates. Core metabolic pathways are similar on both substrates, but recent studies of methane metabolism suggest that growth on methanol might have significant differences from growth on methane. In this study, both a targeted metabolomics approach as well as a 13C tracer approach have been taken to understand core carbon metabolism in M. buryatense 5GB1 during methanol growth, to determine whether such differences occur. Targeted metabolomics analyses were performed on both methane and methanol cultures to identify metabolic nodes with altered fluxes. Several key metabolites showed significant differences in pool size. Noticeably, 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) showed much larger pools under methanol culture, suggesting the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway was more active. Intermediates in other parts of metabolism also showed differences in pool sizes under methanol growth. A systematic shift of active core metabolism is proposed to explain the changes. In order to distinguish flux partition differences at the C3-C4 node, 13C tracer analysis was also applied to methanol-grown cultures. Using the experimental results as constraints, we applied flux balance analysis to determine the metabolic flux phenotype of M. buryatense 5GB1 growing on methanol. The resulting new insights into core metabolism of this methanotroph provide an improved basis for future strain design.

Transcription profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis wild type and Rv3133c/DosR mutants grown in hypoxic conditions

Project description:Unlike many pathogens that are overtly harmful to their hosts, Mycobacterium tuberculosis can persist for years within humans in a clinically latent state. Latency is often linked to hypoxic conditions within the host. Among M. tuberculosis genes induced by hypoxia is a putative transcription factor, Rv3133c/DosR. We performed targeted disruption of this locus followed by transcriptome analysis of wild-type and mutant bacilli. Nearly all the genes powerfully regulated by hypoxia require Rv3133c/DosR for their induction. Computer analysis identified a consensus motif, a variant of which is located upstream of nearly all M. tuberculosis genes rapidly induced by hypoxia. Further, Rv3133c/DosR binds to the two copies of this motif upstream of the hypoxic response gene alpha-crystallin. Mutations within the binding sites abolish both Rv3133c/DosR binding as well as hypoxic induction of a downstream reporter gene. Also, mutation experiments with Rv3133c/DosR confirmed sequence-based predictions that the C-terminus is responsible for DNA binding and that the aspartate at position 54 is essential for function. Together, these results demonstrate that Rv3133c/DosR is a transcription factor of the two-component response regulator class, and that it is the primary mediator of a hypoxic signal within M. tuberculosis.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in buffalo fibroblasts with different cloning efficency

Project description:We report the distribution of histone acetylation at global genomic level in donor cells with different cloning efficiency. By obtaining over 40 million clean reads from immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of two buffalo fibroblast cell lines. We find that high cloning efficiency BFFs also had more regions enriched with H3K9ac sites near to the upstream of genes related to glycolysis. This study provides a framework for the application of comprehensive chromatin profiling towards donor cells with different cloning efficiency. We report the landscape of chromatin accessibility in donor cells with different cloning efficiency by transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq). We found that the landscape of chromatin accessibility was similar in both BFF1 and BFF2. Most loci defined by ATAC-seq was abundant just on the upstream of transcription start sites (TSS), but the signals in BFF2 were stronger than BFF1. GO analysis showed that most differential loci annotated genes were involved in developmental process, cellular process and metabolic process. This study provides a framework for the application of landscape of chromatin accessibility towards donor cells with different cloning efficiency.

Identification of Breast Cancer Associated Variants That Modulate Transcription Factor Binding

Project description:GWAS have discovered thousands of genomic loci that are associated with disease risk and quantitative traits, but most of the variants responsible for risk remain uncharacterized. The vast majority of GWAS-identified loci contain non-coding SNPs and defining molecular mechanism of risk is challenging. Many non-coding causal SNPs are hypothesized to alter Transcription Factor (TF) binding sites as the mechanism by which they affect organismal phenotypes. We employed an integrative genomics approach to identify candidate TF binding motifs that confer breast cancer-specific phenotypes identified by GWAS. We performed de novo motif analysis of regulatory elements, analyzed evolutionary conservation of identified motifs, and assayed TF footprinting data to identify sequence elements that recruit TFs and maintain chromatin landscape in breast cancer-relevant tissue and cell lines. Regulatory elements for MCF10A were mapped with ATAC-seq.We identified top candidate causal SNPs that are predicted to alter TF binding, within breast cancer-relevant regulatory regions, and in strong linkage disequilibrium with the GWAS SNPs. This integrative analysis pipeline is a general framework to identify candidate causal variants within regulatory regions and TF binding sites that confer phenotypic variation and disease risk.
