Quorum-sensing regulation of a capsular polysaccharide receptor for the Rhodobacter capsulatus gene transfer agent (RcGTA).

Project description:The gene transfer agent produced by Rhodobacter capsulatus (RcGTA) resembles a small tailed bacteriophage that packages almost random genomic DNA segments that may be transferred to other R.?capsulatus cells. Gene transfer agents are produced by a number of prokaryotes; however, no receptors have been identified. We investigated the RcGTA recipient capability of wild-type R.?capsulatus cells at different culture growth phases, and found that the frequency of RcGTA-dependent acquisition of an allele increases as cultures enter the stationary phase. We also found that RcGTA adsorption to cells follows a similar trend. RcGTA recipient capability and adsorption were found to be dependent on the GtaR/I quorum-sensing (QS) system. Production of an extracellular polysaccharide was found to be regulated by GtaR/I QS, as was production of the cell capsule. A number of QS-regulated putative polysaccharide biosynthesis genes were identified, and mutagenesis of two of these genes, rcc01081 and rcc01932, yielded strains that lack a capsule. Furthermore, these mutants were impaired in RcGTA recipient capability and adsorption, as was a non-encapsulated wild-type isolate of R.?capsulatus. Overall, our results indicate that capsular polysaccharide is a receptor for the gene transfer agent of R.?capsulatus, RcGTA.

Rhodobacter capsulatus SB1003 under singlet oxygen stress

Project description:Global transcriptome analyses at growth before and after 10 min of photooxidative stress were applied to monitor stress dependent gene expression in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. Transcriptome profiles of pigmented cultures with high aeration were monitored before and after the onset of singlet oxygen stress.

Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis in Rhodobacter capsulatus and Application to Comparative Expression Analysis of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Project description:Transcriptomic data has been previously used to determine expression patterns in various R. capsulatus strains using custom made Affymetrix microarrays. Additional expression analyses have since been carried out to obtain preliminary data on certain wild type and mutant strains that have not been reported on. We used all current microarray expression data available and constructed an R. capsulatus gene co-expression network and performed functional analysis of identified gene modules. RNA was harvested from various wild type and mutant R. capsulatus strains grown under photoheterotrophic conditions to different growth phases. The samples were hybridized to custom made R. capsulatus Affymetrix microarrays according to manufacturers recommendations. The raw data was RMA normalized and log transformed.

DNA packaging bias and differential expression of gene transfer agent genes within a population during production and release of the Rhodobacter capsulatus gene transfer agent, RcGTA

Project description:Rhodobacter capsulatus produces a gene transfer agent (GTA) called RcGTA. RcGTA is a phage-like particle that packages R. capsulatus DNA and transfers it to other R. capsulatus cells. Low-resolution techniques suggested RcGTA packages random DNA. Analysis of the RcGTA terminase sequence revealed a distant relationship to the phage T4 terminase protein, which can also perform sequence-independent packaging. We quantified the relative frequency of packaging for each gene in the genome by hybridization of DNA from RcGTA particles to an R. capsulatus microarray. All genes were found within the RcGTA particles, and random packaging was observed at a genome-wide scale. However, the genes encoding the RcGTA particle were under-packaged compared to other regions. Single-cell expression analysis demonstrated that RcGTA gene expression is not uniform within a culture. We propose a mechanism by which high levels of RcGTA gene transcription in the most active RcGTA producing cells hinders access of the packaging machinery to these genes, which causes a reduction in their packaging frequency. This sub-population gene expression phenomenon likely explains the lack of observed cell lysis in RcGTA producing cultures. DNA extracted from within RcGTA particles produced by DE442, an RcGTA overproducer, was hybridized to an Affymetrix genechip custom array in order to quantify the relative frequency with which any given gene was packaged within the particles. These data were MAS5 normalized. An underlying packaging bias was suspected to be transcription related, so these frequencies were compared to expression levels within the population, as determined by hybridization of late-stationary RNA samples of DE442 and of the wildtype (SB1003) to the same custom array. These data were RMA normalized.
