Time series (T= 0-4 hours) for E. coli K-12 MC4100 after a shift from 23˚C to 37˚C (M9 minimal glycerol medium, exponential phase growth)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We investigated the effect of a temperature shift from 23˚C to 37˚C, mimicking the temperature transition experienced by a microbe as it enters a human host. This strategy allowed the exploration of the kinetics of gene expression changes in immediate response to a temperature upshift and to characterize the suite of genes required to respond to 37˚C in the first few hours. We demonstrate that a significant number of genes are rapidly altered in expression within minutes to hours after a temperature shift. Some are only induced transiently, while are required for long-term adaptation. Many of these genes are related to metabolism, stress response, and immune evasion suggesting that temperature may serve as a sentinel cue to predict and prepare for niche adaptation in the host.
