The base pairing RNA Spot 42 participates in a multi-output feedforward loop to help enact catabolite repression in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Bacteria selectively consume some carbon sources over others through a regulatory mechanism termed catabolite repression. Here, we show that the base pairing RNA Spot 42 plays a broad role in catabolite repression in Escherichia coli by directly repressing genes involved in central and secondary metabolism, redox balancing, and the consumption of diverse non-preferred carbon sources. Many of the genes repressed by Spot 42 are transcriptionally activated by the global regulator CRP. Since CRP represses Spot 42, these regulators participate in a specific regulatory circuit called a multi-output feedforward loop. We found that this loop can reduce leaky expression of target genes in the presence of glucose and can maintain repression of target genes under changing nutrient conditions. Our results suggest that base pairing RNAs in feedforward loops can help shape the steady-state levels and dynamics of gene expression.

MG1655 lacIq cells harboring the control vector pBRplac or the Spot 42-inducible vector pSpot42 were grown in LB to an ABS600 of ~0.4 and treated with 1 mM IPTG. After 7 min, total RNA was isolated using the hot phenol extraction procedure.

Transcriptional effects of CRP* expression in Escherichia coli

Project description:Escherichia coli exhibits diauxic growth in sugar mixtures due to CRP-mediated catabolite repression and inducer exclusion related to phosphotransferase system enzyme activity. Replacement of the native crp gene with a catabolite repression mutant (referred to as crp*) alleviates diauxic effects in E. coli and enables co-utilization of glucose and other sugars. While previous studies have examined the effects of expressing CRP* mutants on the expression of specific catabolic genes, little is known about the global transcriptional effects of CRP* expression. In this study, we compare the transcriptome of E. coli W3110 (expressing wild-type CRP) to that of mutant strain PC05 (expressing CRP*) in the presence and absence of glucose.

A dual RNA regulator balancing carbon uptake and 1 central metabolism in Vibrio cholerae

Project description:Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are well-known to modulate gene expression by base-pairing with trans-coded transcripts and are typically considered to be non-coding. However, several sRNAs have been reported to also contain an open reading frame and thus are considered dual regulators. In this study, we discovered a dual regulator from Vibrio cholerae, called VcdRP, harboring a 29 amino acid protein (VcdP), as well as a base-pairing sequence. Using a forward genetic screen, we identified VcdRP as a repressor of cholera toxin production and we link this phenotype to inhibition of carbon transport by the base-pairing segment of the regulator. By contrast, we demonstrate that VcdP acts downstream of carbon transport by binding to citrate synthase (GltA), the first enzyme of the citric cycle. Interaction of VcdP with GltA results in increased enzyme activity and together VcdR and VcdP reroute carbon metabolism. We further show that transcription of vcdRP is repressed by CRP allowing us to provide a model in which VcdRP employs two different molecular mechanisms to synchronize sugar uptake and metabolism in V. cholerae.

Transcriptional profiling of the Neurospora crassa Δcre-1 mutant (FGSC 10372) compared to the wild type strain (FGSC 2489) in response to minimal medium or Avicel medium

Project description:In filamentous ascomycete fungi, the utilization of alternate carbon sources is influenced by the zinc finger transcription factor CreA/CRE-1, which encodes a carbon catabolite repressor protein homologous to Mig1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Neurospora crassa, deletion of cre-1 results in increased secretion of amylase and β-galactosidase. Here, we determined the CRE-1 regulon by investigating the transcriptome of a Δcre-1 strain compared to wild type when grown on Avicel versus minimal medium (MM). Our data provide comprehensive information on the CRE-1 regulon in N. crassa and contribute to deciphering the global role of carbon catabolite repression in filamentous ascomycete fungi during plant cell wall deconstruction.

Catabolite repression by intracellular succinate in Campylobacter jejuni

Project description:Bacteria have evolved different mechanisms to catabolize carbon sources from a mixture of nutrients. They first consume their preferred carbon source, before others are used. Regulatory mechanisms adapt the metabolism accordingly to maximize growth and to outcompete other organisms. The human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is an asaccharolytic Gram-negative bacterium that catabolizes amino acids and organic acids for growth. It prefers serine and aspartate as carbon sources, however it lacks all regulators known to be involved in regulating carbon source utilization in other organisms. In which manner C. jejuni adapts its metabolism towards the presence or absence of preferred carbon sources is unknown. In this study, we show with transcriptomic analysis and enzyme assays how C. jejuni adapts its metabolism in response to its preferred carbon source serine. In the presence of serine as well as lactate and pyruvate C. jejuni represses the utilization of other carbon sources, by repressing the expression of a number of central metabolic enzymes. The regulatory proteins RacR, Cj1000 and CsrA play a role in the regulation of these metabolic enzymes. This metabolism dependent transcriptional repression correlates with an accumulation of intracellular succinate. Hence, we propose a demand-based catabolite repression mechanism in C. jejuni, which depends on the intracellular succinate level.

Widespread glucose-mediated repression of plant biomass utilization in the white-rot fungus Dichomitus squalens

Project description:Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) occurs in the presence of sufficient concentrations of easy metabolizable carbon sources (e.g. glucose), down-regulating the expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in the breakdown of complex carbon sources. The extent of CCR at a global level is unknown in wood-rotting fungi – and was investigated in Dichomitus squalens with transcriptomics and exo-proteomics. Approximately 10% of expressed genes had lower expression in presence of glucose compared to Avicel or xylan alone. The glucose repressed genes included key components for utilization of plant biomass – CAZymes, sugar transporters and carbon catabolic genes. The majority of polysaccharide degrading CAZymes were repressed and included activities towards all major polymers. The repression found in the transcriptome was strongly supported by exo-proteomics – there was repression of almost all of the CAZymes whose transcripts were repressed on Avicel. The clear CCR-mediated effects indicate biotech production of CAZymes by D. squalens would benefit from de-repressed or constitutively expressing strains. The extent of CCR is surprising given that D. squalens rarely experiences high sugar concentrations in its woody environment.
