Project description:Zn and Mn are essential micronutrients for many bacteria including Streptococcus pneumoniae. While Zn performs vital structural or catalytic roles in certain proteins, in excess, Zn can inhibit Mn uptake by S. pneumoniae and displace, but not functionally replace Mn from key enzymes including superoxide dismutase A (SodA). Here, we show that the Ccn small regulatory RNAs promote S. pneumoniae Mn uptake and resistance to the oxidative stress. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these small regulatory RNAs modulate the ability of S. pneumoniae to cause invasive pneumonia. Altogether, these findings reveal a new layer of regulation of S. pneumoniae Zn and Mn homeostasis and suggest that there are factors in addition to known transporters that modulate intracellular Mn levels.

Project description:Zinc (Zn) excess negatively impacts primary root growth in Arabidopsis. The effects of Zn excess on root growth processes in the root tip are not well understood.
Transcriptomics, ionomics and metabolomics were used to examine the specific impact of Zn excess on the root tip (RT) compared to the remaining root (RR).
Zn excess exposure resulted in shortened root apical meristem and elongation zone, with differentiation initiating closer to the tip of root. Zn accumulated at a lower concentration in the RT than in RR.

Project description:Given that transition metals are essential cofactors in central biological processes, misallocation of the wrong metal ion to a metalloprotein can have resounding and often detrimental effects on diverse aspects of cellular physiology. Therefore, in an attempt to characterize unique and shared responses to chemically similar metals we have reconstructed physiological behaviors of Halobacterium NRC-1, an archaeal halophile, in sub-lethal levels of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). Over 20% of all genes responded transiently within minutes of exposure to Fe(II), perhaps reflecting immediate large scale physiological adjustments to maintain homeostasis. At steady state, each transition metal induced growth arrest, attempts to minimize oxidative stress, toxic ion scavenging, increased protein turnover and DNA repair, and modulation of active ion transport. While several of these constitute generalized stress responses, up regulation of active efflux of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), down regulation of Mn(II) uptake and up regulation of Fe(II) chelation, confer resistance to the respective metals. We have synthesized all these discoveries into a unified systems level model to provide an integrated perspective of responses to six transition metals with emphasis on experimentally verified regulatory mechanisms. Finally, through comparisons across global transcriptional responses to different metals we provide insights into putative in vivo metal selectivity of metalloregulatory proteins and demonstrate that a systems approach can help rapidly unravel novel metabolic potential and regulatory programs of poorly studied organisms.

Project description:EDTA-Plasma from 110 hemodialysis patients participating in an NIDDK funded study were analyzed by ICP-MS for the concentration of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, V, and Zn. Associations were determined between trace metals and gender, race, hemodialysis status, hemoglobin at the time of draw (Hgb), total ESA dose for the month the sample was collected (EPO), and erythropoietin resistance index determined over the 6 months of treatment leading up to sample collection (ERI)
