Deep sequencing-based analysis of the anaerobic stimulon in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

ABSTRACT: Maintenance of an anaerobic respiratory system in the obligate human pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, suggests that an anaerobic lifestyle may be important during the course of infection. However, at this point there have been no studies analyzing the complete gonococcal transcriptome response to anaerobiosis. Here we performed deep sequencing to compare the gonococcal transcriptomes of aerobic and anaerobically grown cells. We found that the anaerobic stimulon in gonococci was large, and that 198 chromosomal genes were found to be differentially expressed. We also observed a large induction of genes encoded within the cryptic plasmid, pJD1. Secondary analysis of genes found to be differentially expressed by RNA-seq using translational-lacZ fusions or RT-PCR demonstrated the RNA-seq results to be very reproducible. Surprisingly, many genes of prophage origin were induced anaerobically, as well as several transcriptional regulators previously unknown to be involved in anaerobic growth. We also confirmed expression and regulation of a small RNA, likely a functional equivalent of fnrS in the Enterobacteriaceae family. Several novel factors were identified to be anaerobically regulated, as well as a large number of hypothetical proteins were induced.

Two biological replicates of cells grown aerobically or anaerobically with nitrite were analyzed, for a total of four samples subject to SOLiD RNA sequencing.

MpeR regulation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (F19) through an iron-responsive mechanism

Project description:Previous studies have shown that the MpeR transcriptional regulator produced by Neisseria gonorrhoeae represses expression of mtrF, which encodes a putative inner membrane protein that works with the MtrC-MtrD-MtrE efflux pump to allow gonococci to resist high levels of multiple hydrophobic antimicrobials. Regulation of mpeR has been reported to occur by an iron-dependent mechanism involving Fur (Ferric uptake regulator). Collectively, these observations suggest the presence of an interconnected regulatory system in gonococci that modulates expression of drug efflux pump protein-encoding genes in an iron-responsive manner. Herein, we describe this connection and report that levels of gonococcal resistance to a substrate of the mtrCDE-encoded efflux pump can be modulated by MpeR and the availability of free iron. Using microarray analysis, we found that the mtrR gene, which encodes the direct transcriptional repressor (MtrR) of mtrCDE, is an MpeR-repressed determinant in the late-logarithmic phase of growth when free iron levels would be reduced due to bacterial consumption. MpeR-mediated repression of mtrR appeared to be direct, as judged by DNA-binding analyses, and was enhanced by conditions of iron-limitation, which resulted in increased expression of the mtrCDE efflux pump operon. Taken together, our results indicate that both genetic and physiologic parameters can influence expression of the mtr efflux system and that these can modulate levels of gonococcal susceptibility to efflux pump substrates. two strains, two growth phases, three replicates each.

Expression data from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (FA19)

Project description:Naturally occurring mtrR mutants of gonococci displaying clinically relevant levels of antibiotic resistance are often isolated from patients and mtrR mutants have been reported to be more fit than the wild type parent strain in a murine vaginal infection model. DNA-binding proteins, such as MtrR, that negatively regulate bacterial efflux pump genes have been considered to be “local” gene regulators, although there is increasing evidence that they can directly or indirectly influence expression of other genes. To define the regulatory properties of MtrR we employed microarray analysis of isogenic MtrR-positive and MtrR-negative gonococci. Keywords: single time point

Proteomics of Btk haemolymph stimulon

Project description:The spore-forming bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) of B. cereus group uses toxin-opened breaches at the insect midgut epithelium to infest the haemolymph where it rapidly propagates despite antimicrobial host defences to induce eventually host death by acute septicaemia. The response of Bt to haemolymph and the latter’s role in bacterial pathogenesis is an area that needs clarification. We report the proteome analysis of Bt subsp. kurstaki (Btk) haemolymph stimulon consisted of significant changes in 60 (34 up- and 26 down-regulated) differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs). Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed Btk haemolymph-responsive DAPs were mainly involved in glutamate metabolism, transketolase activity and ATP-dependent transmembrane transporters. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis disclosed that DAPs were highly enriched in enzymes related to the biosynthesis of ansamycins, a family of bacterial polyketides with antimicrobial activity. Interestingly, around 30% of DAPs were putative virulence factors, including polyketide synthase, ABC transporter, and cytotoxin. Collectively, our findings suggest Btk haemolymph stimulon could be partially driven bacterial survival and propagation within the haemolymph of infected insects, contributing to its remarkable success as entomopathogen.
