Project description:We looked at host gene expression signatures common and specfic to occasionally pathogenic N. meningitidis and commensal N. lactamica. We hypothesise that similar host cell responses during early interactions with N. meningitidis and N. lactamica could inform common mechanisms of colonisation of commensals while differential host cell responses could be capable of altering the outcome of the colonisation process. Total RNA obtained from 16HBE14 cells infected with the different strains of Neisseria from 0 to 7 hours are compared to mock-infected controls at the respective timepoints. 192 samples are analysed. There are 4 to 8 biological replicates per condition.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate commensal colonising the human nasopharynx and occasionally invades the bloodstream causing life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia. The gene NMB0419 on the genome of N. meningitidis MC58 encodes a putative Sel1-like repeat (SLR) containing protein, which has been implicated in mediating meningococcal invasion of epithelial cells. We prepared RNA samples from N. meningitidis MC58 (WT) and its isogenic mutant of NMB0419 grown to log phase in in-vitro culture. The RNA samples were subjected to RNA sequencing. The resulting transcriptomes were compared to determine the genes that differentially expressed in NMB0419 mutant.

Project description:Microarray comparative genome hybridization (mCGH) data was collected from one Neisseria cinerea, two Neisseria lactamica, two Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and 48 Neisseria meningitidis isolates. For N. meningitidis, these isolates are from diverse clonal complexes, invasive and carriage strains, and all major serogroups. The microarray platform represented N. meningitidis strains MC58, Z2491, and FAM18 and N. gonorrhoeae FA1090.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of bacterial meningitis and septicemia worldwide. Seven new serogroup C meningococci were isolated from two provinces of China in January, 2006. Their PorA VR types were P1.20, 9. Multilocus sequence typing results indicated that they all belonged to ST-7. It is a new serogroup C N. meningitidis sequence type clone identified in China. Here we also present the results of a genomic comparison of these isolates with other 15 N. meningitidis serogroup A and B isolates, which belonged to ST-7, based on comparative genomic hybridization analysis. The data described here would be helpful to monitor the spread of this new serogroup C meningococci sequence type clone in China and worldwide. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B is a pathogen that can infect diverse sites within the human host. According to the N. meningitidis genomic information and experimental observations glucose can be completely catabolized through the Entner-Doudoroff pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway. The Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway is not functional, because the gene for phosphofructokinase is not present. The phylogenetic distribution of phosphofructokinase indicates that in most obligate aerobic organisms PFK is lacking. We conclude that this is because of the limited contribution of PFK to the energy supply in aerobically grown organisms in comparison with the energy generated through oxidative phosphorylation. Under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions the available energy is limiting and PFK provides an advantage, which explains the presence of PFK in many (facultative) anaerobic organisms. In accordance with this, in silico flux balance analysis predicted an increase of biomass yield as a result of PFK expression. However, analysis of a genetically engineered N. meningitidis strain that expresses a heterologous phosphofructokinase showed that the yield of biomass on substrate decreased in comparison with a pfkA deficient control strain, which was associated mainly with an increase in CO2 production, whereas production of by-products was comparable between the two strains. This might explain why the pfkA gene has not been obtained by horizontal gene transfer, since it is initially unfavourable for biomass yield. No large effects related to heterologous expression of pfkA were observed in the transcriptome. Although our results suggest that introduction of PFK does not contribute to a more efficient strain in terms of biomass yield, achievement of a robust, optimal metabolic network that enables a higher growth rate or a higher biomass yield, might be possible after adaptive evolution of the strain, which remains to be investigated.

Project description:The Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis causes meningitis in humans and has been demonstrated to manipulate or alter host signalling pathways during infection of the central nervous system. In this study, the phosphoproteome of an in vitro model of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier was investigated during infection with the Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (NmB) strain MC58 in presence and absence of the bacterial capsule. We show that the capsule deficient mutant has a higher impact on the phosphoproteome of the infected cells and identify potentially regulated pathways and cellular processes during infection.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a nasopharyngeal commensal of humans which occasionally invades the blood to cause septicaemia. The transcriptome of N. meningitidis strain MC58 grown in human blood for up to 4 hours was determined and around 10% of the genome was found to be differentially regulated. The nuo, pet and atp operons, involved in energy metabolism, were up-regulated, while many house-keeping genes were down-regulated. Genes encoding protein chaperones and proteases, involved in the stress response; complement resistant genes encoding enzymes for LOS sialylation and biosynthesis; and fHbp (NMB1870) and nspA (NMB0663), encoding vaccine candidates, were all up-regulated. Genes for glutamate uptake and metabolism, and biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine were also up-regulated. Blood grown meningococci are under stress and undergo a metabolic adaptation and energy conservation strategy. The localisation of four putative outer membrane proteins encoded by genes found to be up-regulated in blood was assessed by FACS using polyclonal mouse antisera, and one (NMB0390) showed evidence of surface expression, supporting its vaccine candidacy.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a human commensal that occasionally causes life-threatening infections such as bacterial meningitis and septicemia. Despite experimental evidence that gene regulation as well as the expression of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) affect meningococcal virulence, the organization of its transcriptome, including in particular the biogenesis of sRNAs and their mode of action, is only poorly understood. Here, we addressed these issues using a combination of high-throughput technologies. We applied differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) to produce a single-nucleotide resolution map of the primary transcriptome of N. meningitidis strain 8103. Our dRNA-seq analysis predicted 1,625 transcriptional start sites (TSS) including 65 non-coding RNA transcripts, of which 20 were further validated by Northern analysis. This allowed for the discovery of a novel CRISPR-associated sRNA with a Cas9-independent biogenesis. Genome-wide mapping of σ 70-dependent and independent promoters revealed that classical Escherichia coli-like σ70 promoter are absent in most of the protein coding genes in meningococci. The majority of the 706 primary TSSs (pTSSs) were associated with coding sequences, including 382 pTSS obtained for single genes and 240 pTSSs obtained for genes located in operons. By Hfq RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) we identified a large Hfq-centered post-transcriptional regulatory network comprising 24 sRNAs and 407 potential mRNA targets, and rifampicin stability assays demonstrated that Hfq binding confers enhanced stability on sRNAs. We finally confirmed the interactions of two sRNAs and their cognate target mRNA in vivo. Both directly repress prpB encoding a methylisocitrate lyse which was previously shown to be involved in meningococcal colonization of the human nasopharynx.The combination of both high-throughput approaches thus creates a compendium that not only provides a valuable data resource, but also allows for a better understanding of meningococcal transcriptome organization and riboregulation with implications for colonization of the human nasopharynx.
