Magnesium modulates Bacillus subtilis cell division frequency

ABSTRACT: By chance, we discovered a window of extracellular magnesium (Mg2+) availability that modulates Bacillus subtilis division frequency without affecting growth rate. In this window, cells grown with excess Mg2+ produce shorter cells than those grown in unsupplemented medium. The Mg2+-responsive adjustment in cell length occurs in both rich and minimal media and in domesticated and undomesticated strains. Of other divalent cations tested, manganese (Mn2+) and zinc (Zn2+) also resulted in cell shortening, but only at concentrations that affected growth. Cell length decreased proportionally with increasing Mg2+ from 0.2 mM to 4.0 mM, with little or no detectable change in labile, intracellular Mg2+ based on a riboswitch reporter. Cells grown in excess Mg2+ had fewer nucleoids and possessed more FtsZ-rings per unit cell length, consistent with increased division frequency. Remarkably, when shifting cells from unsupplemented to supplemented medium, more than half of the cell length decrease occurred in the first 10 min, consistent with rapid division onset. Relative to unsupplemented cells, cells growing at steady-state with excess Mg2+ showed enhanced expression of a large number of SigB-regulated genes and activation of the Fur, MntR, and Zur regulons. Thus, by manipulating the availability of one nutrient, we were able to uncouple growth rate from division frequency and identify transcriptional changes suggesting cell division is accompanied by the general stress response and an enhanced demand to sequester and/or increase uptake of iron, Mn2+, and Zn2+.

Essential Role of Mg2+ for Mouse Preimplantation Embryo Development Revealed by TRPM7 Chanzyme Deficient Gametes

Project description:TRPM7 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7) is a chanzyme with channel and kinase domains essential for embryo development. Using gamete-specific Trpm7-null lines, we report that TRPM7-mediated Mg2+ influx is indispensable for reaching the blastocyst stage. TRPM7 was expressed dynamically from gametes to blastocysts, displaying stage-specific and distinct localizations on the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, and undergoes cleavage that produces C- terminal kinase fragments. TRPM7 underpinned Mg2+ homeostasis throughout this time, and excess Mg2+ but not Zn2+ or Ca2+ overcame the arrest of Trpm7-null embryos; expressing Trpm7 mRNA restored development, but mutant versions failed or were less effective. Transcriptomic analyses of embryos lacking Trpm7 revealed an abundance of oxidative stress-pathway genes, confirmed by mitochondrial dysfunction, and a reduction of transcription factor networks essential for proliferation; Mg2+ supplementation corrected these defects. Hence, TRPM7 underpins Mg2+ homeostasis in preimplantation embryos, prevents oxidative stress, and promotes gene expression patterns necessary for developmental progression and cell lineage specification.

Transcriptome analysis of B. subtilis cells during recovery from injury after high hydrostatic pressure treatment

Project description:Vegetative cells of B. subtilis can recover from injury caused by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment at 250 MPa. DNA microarray analysis revealed that many ribosomal genes and translation relating factors (e.g. translation initiation factors) were induced during a growth-arrested phase after the HHP treatment. Expression of cold shock-responsive genes, whose products play key roles for efficient translation, and heat shock-responsive genes, whose product mediates the correct protein folding or degrades misfolded proteins, were also induced. In contrast, the expression of hpf, whose product (Hpf) is involved in ribosome inactivation through dimerization of 70S ribosomes, was repressed. Sucrose density gradient sedimentation analysis showed that ribosomes were dissociated in a pressure-dependent manner and then reconstructed during the growth-arrested phase. These results suggested that the translational machinery can be preferentially reconstructed in the HHP-injured cells. We also found that cell growth after HHP-induced injury was apparently inhibited by Mn2+ or Zn2+ supplemented to the recovery medium. Ribosome reconstruction in HHP-injured cells was significantly delayed in the presence of Mn2+ or Zn2+. Moreover, Zn2+ but not Mn2+ stimulated dimer formation of ribosomes in HHP-injured cells. This Zn2+-dependent accumulation of ribosome dimer was no longer observed in a Δhpf mutant lacking the functional Hpf. Furthermore, the growth recovery of the Δhpf mutant in the Zn2+-supplemented medium was faster than that of the parent strain. Thus, our results indicate that Zn2+ can prevent ribosome reconstruction by stimulating the Hpf-dependent ribosome dimerization, thereby inhibiting the growth recovery of the HHP-injured B. subtilis cells.

Expression data of pmr1∆ mutants

Project description:The yeast PMR1 (ATP2C1) gene codes for the eukaryotic prototype of a high affinity P-type ATPase required for Ca2+/Mn2+ transport into the Golgi. Cells lacking PMR1 exhibit multiple genetic interactions with genes involved in DNA recombination and replication, a fact that is not yet understood. We find that deletion of PMR1 causes a delay in DNA replication initiation, progression and G2/M transition and induces the transcriptional up-regulation of genes involved in cell cycle regulation, including CLB5 and SWE1. Interestingly, pmr1∆ clb5∆ double mutants exhibit a dramatic delay in DNA replication and increased DNA breakage, while endoreplication and the formation of multi-nucleated, giant yeast is observed in pmr1∆ swe1∆ cells. Because these phenotypes can be attributed to impeded Mn2+-pump function, we provide a model in which Mn2+ interferes with Mg2+ in the nucleus, and vice versa, Mg2+ interferes with Mn2+ in the Golgi. Consequently, cell cycle progression is challenged by aberrant catalytic activities of enzymes involved in replication and protein glycosylation.

Ni2+-dependent and PsaR-mediated regulation of the virulence genes pcpA, psaBCA, and prtA in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Project description:Previous studies have shown that the transcriptional regulator PsaR regulates the expression of the PsaR regulon consisting of genes encoding choline binding protein (PcpA), the extracellular serine protease (PrtA), and the Mn2+-uptake system (PsaBCA), in the presence of manganese (Mn2+), zinc (Zn2+), and cobalt (Co2+). In this study, we explore the Ni2+-dependent regulation of the PsaR regulon. We have demonstrated by qRT-PCR analysis, metal accumulation assays, Î²-galactosidase assays, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays that an elevated concentration of Ni2+ leads to strong induction of the PsaR regulon. Our ICP-MS data show that the Ni2+-dependent expression of the PsaR regulon is directly linked to high, cell-associated, concentration of Ni2+, which reduces the cell-associated concentration of Mn2+. In vitro studies with the purified PsaR protein showed that Ni2+ diminishes the Mn2+-dependent interaction of PsaR to the promoter regions of its target genes, confirming an opposite effect of Mn2+ and Ni2+ in the regulation of the PsaR regulon. Additionally, the Ni2+-dependent role of PsaR in the regulation of the PsaR regulon was studied by transcriptome analysis.

Spneu D39 wildtype grown in GM17 versus GM17 + 0.25 mM ZnSO4

Project description:This study addresses the response of Streptococcus pneumoniae to zinc. The wild-type strain D39 was grown in GM17 and GM17 with 0.25 mM of ZnSO4. The transcriptome under these conditions was compared by using microarrays. Keywords: transcriptome analysis of D39 wild-type compared with its isogenic glnPA double mutant The wild-type strain D39 was grown in 4 biological replicates in GM17 and in GM17+0.25 mM ZnSO4 to an Optical Density at 600 nm of 0.3. From these cultures samples were prepared for transciptome determination with in-house printed microarrays covering the genomes of several S. pneumoniae species. The GM17 samples (CH1) and GM17+ZnSO4 samples (CH2) were labeled with Cy5 or Cy3. Samples were hybridized to glass-microarray slides. This work is part of a publication that is likely to be released in june/july 2008: 'Opposite effects of Mn2+ and Zn2+ on the PsaR-mediated expression of the virulence genes pcpA, prtA and psaBCA of Streptococcus pneumoniae" by Kloosterman et al.

Comparison of gene expression of WT and PerM mutant M. tuberculosis H37Rv grown in high and reduced magnesium

Project description:M. tuberculosis membrane protein PerM is required for persistence in chronic mouse infection. In vitro, the perM mutant requires increased magnesium for replication and survival, with elongation and lysis in low-magnesium media. To gain insight into the function of PerM, we compared the transcriptomes of wt and perM mutant Mtb grown in high (2000 μM) and reduced (250 μM) Mg2+ in three independent experiments. Transcriptome analysis of the perM mutant grown in reduced magnesium revealed upregulation of cell division and cell wall biosynthesis genes.

Identification of candidate interactors of Bacillus subtilis rhomboid protease YqgP

Project description:Magnesium homeostasis is essential for life and depends on magnesium transporters whose activity and ion selectivity needs to be tightly controlled. Rhomboid intramembrane proteases pervade the prokaryotic kingdom but their functions are largely elusive. Using proteomics we find that Bacillus subtilis rhomboid protease YqgP interacts with the membrane bound ATP-dependent processive metalloprotease FtsH and cleaves MgtE, the major high-affinity magnesium transporter in B. subtilis. MgtE cleavage by YqgP is potentiated in low magnesium and high manganese or zinc conditions, which protects B. subtilis from Mn2+/ Zn2+ toxicity. The N-terminal cytosolic domain of YqgP binds Mn2+ and Zn2+ and facilitates MgtE cleavage. Independently of its protease activity, YqgP acts as a substrate adaptor for FtsH, which is necessary for degradation of MgtE. YqgP thus unites a protease and pseudoprotease function, which indicates the evolutionary origin of rhomboid pseudoproteases, such as Derlins that are intimately involved in ER associated degradation. Conceptually, the YqgP-FtsH system we describe here is equivalent to a primordial form of ‘ERAD’ in bacteria and exemplifies an ancestral function of rhomboid-superfamily proteins.
