Campylobacter jejuni Cj1000 regulon

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional regulation mediates adaptation of pathogens to environmental stimuli and is important for host colonisation. The Campylobacter jejuni genome sequence reveals a surprisingly small set of regulators, mostly of unknown function, suggesting an intricate regulatory network. Interestingly, C. jejuni lacks the homologues of ubiquitous regulators involved in stress response found in many other Gram-negative bacteria. Nonetheless, cj1000 is predicted to code for the sole LysR-type regulator in the C. jejuni genome, and thus may be involved in major adaptation pathways. A cj1000 mutant strain was constructed and found to be attenuated in its ability to colonise 1-day old chicks. Complementation of cj1000 mutation restored the colonisation ability to that of wild type levels. The mutant strain was also outcompeted in a competitive colonisation assay of the piglet intestine. High resolution oxygraphy was carried out for the first time on C. jejuni and revealed a role for Cj1000 in controlling O2 consumption. Furthermore, microarray analysis of the cj1000 mutant revealed both direct and indirect regulatory targets, including genes involved in energy metabolism and oxidative stress defences. These results highlight the importance of Cj1000 regulation in host colonisation and in major physiological pathways.

Transcriptomic analysis of C. jejuni HPC5 with C. jejuni HPC5 R14, R20, R14A, R14B, R20A, R20B and R20C.

Project description:C. jejuni HPC5 is a Campylobacter strain isolated from chickens. Following bacteriophage CP34 treatment on chickens colonised by C. jejuni HPC5, a series of CP34 insensitive strains like C. jejuni HPC5 R14 and C. jejuni HPC5 R20 were obtained which compromised their ability to colonise chickens. Reintroduction of C. jejuni HPC5 R14 and R20 in to chickens led to reversion of these strains and the MRPs of the revertant strains fell in to different classes termed C. jejuni HPC5 R14A, R14B, R20A, R20B and R20C and these strained were tested positive for colonisation proficient and bacteriophage sensitive. There are three biological replicates for each experiment. Seven independent cDNA preps of C. jejuni HPC5 were prepared and they were labelled independently using AF555. The labelled cDNAs were mixed together and this acted as the control. Each daughter strains were considered as sample and they were labelled with AF645. Hybridisations were done between C. jejuni HPC5 and C. jejuni HPC5 as one of the sample and each of the daughter strains in triplicates. The supplementary files (linked at the foot of this record) contain the summary of the replicate data of the corresponding strain (3 replicates/strain) which have been averaged.

Relating differences in the colonisation potential of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) for plant hosts to wholescale genes in gene expression

Project description:Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are a leading cause of food-borne illness. Fruit and vegetables are recognised as an important source of the pathogen and can account for ~ 25 % of food-borne VTEC outbreaks, globally. The ability of VTEC to colonise leaves and roots of leafy vegetables, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa), was compared. The highest levels of colonisation occurred in the roots and rhizosphere, whereas colonisation of the leaves was lower and significantly different between the species. Colonisation of the leaves of prickly lettuce (L. serriola), a wild relative of domesticated lettuce, was especially poor. Differential VTEC gene expression in spinach extracts was markedly different for three tissue types, with little overlap. Comparison of expression in the same tissue type, cell wall polysaccharides, for lettuce and spinach also showed substantial differences, again with virtually no overlap. The transcriptional response was largely dependent on temperatures that are relevant to plant growth, not warm-blooded animals. The data show that VTEC adaptation to plant hosts and subsequent colonisation potential is underpinned by wholescale changes in gene expression that are specific to both plant tissue type and to the species.

A master virulence regulator of S. aureus inactivated during carriage in man

Project description:It remains unclear how the bacterial populations which colonise many healthy humans occasionally give rise to severe disease. Staphylococcus aureus represents one such population. Here we describe mutations in invasive S. aureus which arose during human colonisation and inactivated rsp, a transcription factor. RNA-Seq was used to generate mRNA profiles of genes controlled by rsp.

RNA-seq experiments of systemic colonization of oilseed rape by Leptosphaeria maculans

Project description:Leptosphaeria maculans, causal agent of stem canker disease, colonises oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in two stages: a short and early colonisation stage corresponding to cotyledon or leaf colonisation, and a late colonisation stage during which the fungus colonises systemically and symptomlessly the plant during several months before stem canker appears. To date, determinants of the late colonisation stage are poorly understood; L. maculans may either successfully escape plant defences leading to the stem canker development, or the plant can develop an “adult-stage” resistance reducing canker incidence. To get insight into these determinants, we performed an RNA-seq pilot project comparing fungal gene expression in infected cotyledons and in symptomless and necrotic stems. Despite the low fraction of fungal material in infected stems, enough fungal transcripts were detected and a large portion of fungal genes were expressed, thus validating the feasibility of the approach. Our analysis showed that all avirulence genes previously identified are under-expressed during stem colonisation compared to cotyledon colonisation. A validation RNA-seq experiment was then done to investigate the expression of candidate effector genes during systemic colonisation. 307 "late" effector candidates, under-expressed in the early colonisation stage and over-expressed in the infected stems, were identified. Finally our analysis revealed a link between regulation of expression of effectors and their genomic location: the late effector candidates, putatively involved in the systemic colonisation, are located in gene-rich genomic regions, whereas the "early" effector genes, over-expressed in the early colonisation stage, are located in gene-poor regions of the genome.

Identification of Campylobacter jejuni genes involved in the response to stomach transit

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni causes food- and water-borne gastroenteritis, and as such must survive passage through the stomach in order to reach the gastrointestinal tract. While little is known about how C. jejuni survives transit through the stomach, its low infectious dose suggests it is well equipped to sense and respond to acid shock. In this study, the transcriptional profile of C. jejuni NCTC 11168 was obtained after exposure to in in vivo (piglet stomach) acid shock. Keywords: acid shock; in vivo study; transit through the host stomach

CmeR functions as global regulator in Campylobacter jejuni

Project description:In Campylobacter jejuni CmeR functions as a transcriptional repressor modulating the expression of the multidrug efflux pump CmeABC, which plays an important role in the resistance to antimicrobial agents and bile compounds. Using DNA microarray, we identified multiple genes that are either activated or repressed by CmeR in C. jejuni. The DNA microarray data was independently confirmed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The CmeR-regulated genes encode products of diverse functions including membrane proteins, drug efflux transporters, the C4-dicarboxylate transport/utilization system, and enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Immunoblotting and Alcian blue staining further showed that CPS production is reduced in the cmeR mutant, confirming the regulation of CPS production by CmeR. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed that recombinant CmeR bound specifically to several intergenic regions in the CPS gene cluster, suggesting that CmeR directly regulates this gene cluster. In the chicken host, the mutant carrying a null mutation in cmeR was severely outcompeted by the isogenic wild-type strain. Together these data indicate that CmeR functions as a global regulator in C. jejuni, modulates the expression of genes encoding diverse functions, and is important for the fitness of Campylobacter in the intestinal tract. Keywords: cell type comparison

Methylation state of latent and proliferative metastatic tumor cells

Project description:During metastasis, cancer cells travel the circulation to colonise distant sites. Due to the rarity of these events, the immediate cell fate decisions of metastasising tumour cells (mTC) are poorly understood and the role of the endothelium, as dissemination interface, remains elusive. Using a novel combinatorial mTC enrichment approach, we provide a first transcriptional blueprint of the early colonisation process
