ABSTRACT: RNA sequencing analysis of the transcriptome of V. parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633 strain grown under Zn-deficient (LB pretreated with 35 μM TPEN) and Zn-replete conditions (LB pretreated with 35 μM TPEN along with 500 μM Zn).
Project description:DNA microarrays were conducted on E. coli K12 cells stressed with 10 μM in N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN). Overall, 260 genes varied in expression, 114 up-regulated and 146 down-regulated by Zn deprivation Keywords: TPEN stress Array hybridizations were carried out for three RNA samples prepared from three independent cultures (control or TPEN-treated).

Project description:Comparative transcriptional mRNA profiles were generated of bacterial pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus under conditions that induce activity of virulence factor type III secretion system 1 (T3SS1). Induction conditions included growth of the bacteria in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), overexpression of transcriptional activator exsA and contact with HeLa cells in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), while non-inducing conditions included growth in Luria-Bertani medium supplemented with 2.5% (w/v) NaCl (LB-S) and overexpression of transcriptional anti-activator exsD. Transcriptome profiles of induction conditions were cross-compared against background non-inducing conditions and time points during HeLa cell infection (2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr) were compared against pre-infection (0 hr) to identify genes important in T3SS1 activity and pathogenesis. Duplicate mRNA transcriptome profiles of V. parahaemolyticus grown in T3SS1 inducing (DMEM, exsA expression) and non-inducing (LB-S, exsD expression) conditions as well as during HeLa cell infection (0 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr) were generated by deep sequencing using an Illumina MiSeq

Project description:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative marine bacterium. Strain RIMD 2210633, the wild type strain of the organism, causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. Human intestinal factor bile often affects the global gene regulation in some species of enteropathogenic bacteria. To determine the genes in V. parahaemolyticus that respond to bile, we investigated the differences in the transcriptomes of the wild type strain and the vtrA-null strain grown in Luria-Bertani medium cultivated with or without 0.04% crude bile. The vtrA gene encodes the previously identified T3SS2 regulator. Our goal is to demonstrate bile regulon controlled by VtrA in V. parahaemolyticus.
Project description:Comparative proteomics to identify proteins found in the media of Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD 2210633 bacteria with an active T6SS2 compared to bacteria with inactive T6SS2. Bacteria with an active T6SS2 are Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD 2210633 inwhich hcp1 was deleted to inactivate T6SS1. T6SS2 inactive bacteria are the former strain with an additional deletion in hcp2. Both strains express TfoX from an arabinose-inducible plasmid to induce T6SS2 activity.
