Project description:To investigate the architecture of the E. coli K-12 transcriptome, we used two RNA-Seq technologies to analyze strand-specific transcription at single-nucleotide resolution. We analyzed the data by using an organizational schema to annotate the promoters and terminators that define transcription units across the genome. We found substantial evidence for differential gene expression within complex operons, which we categorized based on operon architecture. E. coli K-12 strain MG1655 substrain BW38028 and isogenic rpoS mutant were cultured in minimal glucose media (carbon, nitrogen, or phosphate limited) and the total transcriptome of log and stationary phase samples was sequenced.

Project description:To investigate the architecture of the E. coli K-12 transcriptome, we used two RNA-Seq technologies to analyze strand-specific transcription at single-nucleotide resolution. We analyzed the data by using an organizational schema to annotate the promoters and terminators that define transcription units across the genome. Our results showed that most (ca. two-thirds) operons have a single promoter and terminator, whereas one-third of operons contain multiple transcription units. We found substantial evidence for differential gene expression within complex operons, which we categorized based on operon architecture.

Project description:More than half of the protein-coding genes in bacteria are organized in polycistronic operons composed of two or more genes. Whether the operon organization maintains the stoichiometric expression of the genes within an operon remain under debate. In this study, we performed a label-free data-independent acquisition hyper reaction monitoring mass-spectrometry (HRM-MS) experiment to quantify the Escherichia coli proteome in exponential phase and quantified 93.6% of the cytosolic proteins, covering 67.9% and 56.0% of the translating polycistronic operons in BW25113 and MG1655 strains, respectively. We found the shorter operons tend to be more tightly controlled for stoichiometry than longer operons, and those operons for metabolic pathways are less controlled for stoichiometry compared with operons for protein complexes, illustrating the multifaceted nature of the operon-wise regulation: the operon-wise unified transcriptional level and gene-specific translational level. This multi-level regulation benefits the host by optimizing the efficiency of the productivity of metabolic pathways and maintenance of different types of protein complexes.

Project description:Genes clustered into polycistronic operons was thought a characteristic of bacteria and many other species. More than half protein-coding genes are organized in polycistronic operons composed of two or more than ten genes in bacterial genomes. Although the structure of operons have been studied precisely, how the member genes within operon maintain their stoichiometry expression is remain unknown. Using a highly accurate label-free absolute quantification method DIA (data-independent acquisition), we present a global analysis of Escherichia coli proteome, quantified 1607 proteins, including 59.1% of the known polycistronic operons. We found shorter operons tend to be more tightly controlled than longer operons, and those operons for metabolic pathways are less controlled for stoichiometry balance than those operons for protein complexes. Our results thus reveal the two-level regulation mode involving transcription and translation of operons would balance the stoichiometry expression of genes in polycistronic operons in different time-scale.

Project description:Caenorhabditis elegans and its relatives are unique among animals, possibly even among eukaryotes, in having operons1. In these regulated multigene transcription units, a polycistronic pre-mRNA is processed to monocistronic mRNAs by 3' end formation and trans-splicing utilizing a special snRNP, the SL2 snRNP2, for downstream mRNAs1. Previously, the correlation between downstream location in an operon and SL2 trans-splicing has been strong, but anecdotal3. Although only 28 operons have been reported previously, the complete sequence of the genome reveals numerous gene clusters4. To determine how many represent operons, we probed full-genome microarrays for SL2-containing mRNAs. We found significant enrichment for about 1200 genes including most of a group of several hundred genes represented by cDNAs that contain SL2 sequence. Analysis of their genomic arrangements indicates that >90% are downstream genes, falling in 790 distinct operons. We conclude that the genome contains at least 1000 operons, 2- 8 genes in length, that contain ~15% of C. elegans genes. Most of the operons have not been reported previously, and numerous examples of co-transcription of genes encoding functionally related proteins are evident. Inspection of the operon list should reveal heretofore unknown functional relationships.

Project description:An operon is a set of adjacent genes which are transcribed into a single messenger RNA. Operons allow prokaryotes to efficiently circumvent environmental stresses. It is estimated that about 60% of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome is arranged into operons, which makes them interesting drug targets in the face of emerging drug resistance. We therefore developed COSMO - a tool for operon prediction in M. tuberculosis using RNA-seq data. We analyzed four algorithmic parameters and benchmarked COSMO against two top performing operon predictors. COSMO outperformed both predictors in its accuracy and in its ability to distinguish operons activated under distinct conditions.

Project description:Magnetosomes are complex membrane organelles synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) for navigation in the magnetic field. Their formation is tightly controlled by ˃30 specific magnetosome genes arranged in operons. The transcriptional organization of these operons in the model MTB Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 has been long viewed to be simple, having each a convenient promoter that enable transcription of the operon as a single transcriptional unit. Here, by applying Cappable-seq and whole transcriptome shotgun RNA sequencing, we revealed multiple additional transcription starting sites (TSS) within the magnetosome operons mamABop, mms6op and mamXYop. Using experimental validation by bioluminescence reporter, we demonstrated that most of the new TSS are generated by biologically meaningful promoters. Furthermore, the knockout of the primary promoters in mamABop and mms6op resulted only in mild impairments of the magnetosome formation, suggesting that additional transcripts are indeed generated within these operons. Besides, we identified a strong promoter in the intergenic region within mamXYop, which transcript likely represents a non-coding RNA important for proper expression of the genes in this operon. The promoter sequences from MSR-1 are conservative in most magnetotactic Magnetospirillum spp., but not in other MTB, suggesting the functional conservation in magnetospirilla but independent evolution of the transcription circuits within the magnetosome operons in different phylogenetic groups. Taken together, our data suggest much more complex transcriptional architecture of the magnetosome operons in MSR-1 than deemed before and contribute to unraveling the fundamentals of magnetosome biosynthesis at transcriptional level.
