A Quantitative Study of the Division Cycle of Caulobacter crescentus Stalked Cells.

Abstract:
Progression of a cell through the division cycle is tightly controlled at different steps to ensure the integrity of genome
replication and partitioning to daughter cells. From published experimental evidence, we propose a molecular
mechanism for control of the cell division cycle in Caulobacter crescentus. The mechanism, which is based on the
synthesis and degradation of three ‘‘master regulator’’ proteins (CtrA, GcrA, and DnaA), is converted into a quantitative
model, in order to study the temporal dynamics of these and other cell cycle proteins. The model accounts for
important details of the physiology, biochemistry, and genetics of cell cycle control in stalked C. crescentus cell. It
reproduces protein time courses in wild-type cells, mimics correctly the phenotypes of many mutant strains, and
predicts the phenotypes of currently uncharacterized mutants. Since many of the proteins involved in regulating the
cell cycle of C. crescentus are conserved among many genera of a-proteobacteria, the proposed mechanism may be
applicable to other species of importance in agriculture and medicine.
In summary, you are entitled to use this encoded model in absolutely any manner you deem suitable, verbatim, or with modification, alone or embedded it in a larger context, redistribute it, commercially or not, in a restricted way or not..

Project description:Chromosomes must be highly compacted and organized within cells, but how this is achieved in vivo remains poorly understood. We report the first use of Hi-C to map the structure of bacterial chromosomes at a high, unprecedented resolution. Analysis of Hi-C data and polymer modeling indicates that the Caulobacter crescentus chromosome consists of multiple, largely independent spatial domains likely comprised of supercoiled plectonemes arrayed into a bottlebrush-like fiber. These domains are stable throughout the cell cycle and re-established concomitantly with DNA replication. We provide strong evidence that domain boundaries are established by highly-expressed genes and the formation of plectoneme-free regions. Additionally, we use Hi-C to demonstrate that supercoiling, the histone-like protein HU, and SMC act at different length-scales and in complementary ways to organize and structure chromosomes within cells. Hi-C experiments were performed on untreated wild type swarmer cells and drug-treated swarmer cells (Novobiocin or Rifampicin) of Caulobacter crescentus CB15N. Hi-C were also performed on swarmer cells of smc knock-out and hup1hup2 knock-out mutants of Caulobacter crescentus. Time-course Hi-C were performed on a synchronous population of Caulobacter crescentus at 5, 10, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes after synchronization. The progression of DNA replication during the cell cycle was followed by total genomic DNA sequencing.

Project description:In α-proteobacteria, strict regulation of cell cycle progression is necessary for the specific cellular differentiation required for adaptation to diverse environmental niches. The symbiotic lifestyle of Sinorhizobium meliloti requires a drastic cellular differentiation that includes genome amplification. To achieve polyploidy, the S. meliloti cell cycle program must be altered to uncouple DNA replication from cell division. In the α-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus, cell cycle regulated transcription plays an important role in control of cell cycle progression but this has not been demonstrated in other α-proteobacteria. Here we describe a robust method for synchronizing cell growth that enabled the first global analysis of S. meliloti cell cycle regulated gene expression. The objective of the microarray-based cell cycle gene expression analysis was to determine which genes were transcriptionally regulated as a funciton of a cell cycle in order to understand the contribution of transcriptional regulation to the timing of cell cycle events. The microarray analysis identified 462 genes with cell cycle regulated transcripts, including several key cell cycle regulators, and genes involved in motility, attachment, and cell division. Only 28% of the 462 S. meliloti cell cycle regulated genes were also transcriptionally cell cycle regulated in C. crescentus. Furthermore, CtrA and DnaA binding motif analysis revealed little overlap between the cell cycle-dependent regulons of CtrA and DnaA in S. meliloti and C. crescentus. The predicted S. meliloti cell cycle regulon of CtrA, but not that of DnaA, was strongly conserved in more closely related α-proteobacteria with similar ecological niches as S. meliloti, suggesting that the CtrA cell cycle regulatory network may control functions of central importance to the specific lifestyles of α-proteobacteria. Gene expression levels were quantified in synchronously growing S. meliloti cultures across 8 time points and compared to gene expression levels in unsynchronized culture via a two-color custom agilent array

For each of the 8 cell cycle time points, four biological replicates were used resulting in 4 arrays per time point and a total of 32 arrays. The arrays also contained duplicates of each probe resulting in two technical replicates per biological replicate per time point.

Project description:Cell cycle progression requires the coordination of cell growth, chromosome replication, and division. Consequently, a functional cell cycle must be coupled with metabolism. However, direct measurements of metabolome dynamics remained scarce, in particular in bacteria. Here, we describe an untargeted metabolomics approach with synchronized Caulobacter crescentus cells to monitor the relative abundance changes of ~400 putative metabolites as a function of the cell cycle. While the majority of metabolite pools remains homeostatic, ~14% respond to cell cycle progression. In particular, sulfur metabolism is redirected during the G1-S transition, and glutathione levels periodically change over the cell cycle with a peak in late S phase. A lack of glutathione perturbs cell size by uncoupling cell growth and division through dysregulation of KefB, a K+/H+ antiporter. Overall, we here describe the impact of the C. crescentus cell cycle progression on metabolism, and in turn relate glutathione and potassium homeostasis to timely cell division.
