Transcriptional profile of Bacillus subtilis sigF-mutant during vegetative growth and under sporulating conditions

ABSTRACT: Bacillus subtilis’ sigma factor F is the first forespore specific transcription factor and controls genes required for the early stages of prespore development. The role of sigF is well studied under conditions that induce sporulation. Here, the impact of a sigF disruption on the transcriptome of exponentially growing cultures is studied by micro-array analysis. This is relevant because in various experiments, such as industrial fermentation, prolonged experimental evolution or zero-growth studies, sporulation is an undesirable trait that should be avoided, e.g by a sigF mutation. Under conditions that typically don’t induce sporulation, the transcriptome showed minor signs of sporulation initiation. The number of genes differentially expressed and the magnitude of expression were, as expected, quite small in comparison with sporulation conditions. The genes mildly down-regulated were mostly involved in anabolism and the genes mildly up-regulated were mostly involved in catabolism, in particular fatty acid degradation genes. Probably this is related to the arrest at sporulation stage II occurring in the sigF mutant where additional energy is required for further growth of the polar compartments formed.

Comparison of the expression profiles of the 630E strain and a sigF mutant after 14h of growth

Project description:Compartment-specific control of gene expression during Bacillus subtilis sporulation is governed by a cascade of four sigma factors, sigmaF and sigmaG in the forespore and sigmaE and sigmaK in the mother cell. In this work, we combined transcriptional analyses and transcriptional start site mapping to define the sigmaF, sigmaE, sigmaG and sigmaK regulons in Clostridium difficile. A total of about 225 genes were under the control of these sigma factors: 25 in the sigmaF regulon, 97 sigmaE-dependent genes, 50 sigmaG-governed genes and 56 genes specifically controlled by sigmaK. A significant fraction of genes in each regulon are of unknown function and we can propose new candidates for spore coat proteins synthesized under the control of sigmaE and sigmaK among proteins previously detected in the spore proteome (Lawley et al., 2009 (PMID 19542279)). Global analysis of developmental gene expression under the control of these sigma factors indicate deviations from the B. subtilis model regarding the communication between mother cell and forespore in C. difficile. We show that the expression of the sigmaE regulon in the mother cell is not strictly under the control of sigmaF despite the fact that the forespore product SpoIIR is required for the processing of pro-sigmaE. In addition, the sigmaK regulon is not controlled by sigmaG in C. difficile in connection with the lack of pro-sigmaK processing in this bacterium. However, a control of the forespore on sigmaK targets is maintained through a sigmaF-dependent regulation of sigmaK-controlled genes, a process that bypasses sigmaG. Here, transcriptional profiling of the Clostridium difficile 630E strain vs. a sigE mutant after 14h of growth in MS is performed. Two-condition experiment: 630E strain 14h vs. sigF mutant 14h. 4 biological replicates for each condition, including dye-swaps.

Analysis of differential gene expression during Bacillus subtilis spore outgrowth

Project description:The transcriptome of 8 strains were studied during 7 stages of the Morphological phases of sporulation P0 = Resuspention of cells in sporulation medium; P1 = Onset of sporulation before asymmetric division; P2 = Visible asymmetric septum; P3 = Ongoing engulfment of the forespore compartment by the mother cell compartment of sporulating cells; P4 = Completed engulfment (engulfed phase-dark forespores are surrounded by the mother-cell cytoplasm); P5 = Maturation (ongoing dehydration of the forespore core seen as a transition of phase-dark forespores into phase-bright foresppores); P6 = Phase-bright forespores (sporulation almost completed, mother-cells contain phase-bright dehydrated forespores).

Characterization of Mycobacterium smegmatis SigF regulon

Project description:Mycobacterium smegmatis SigF is a group III sigma factor. Its ortholog in M. tuberculosis is reported to have role in regulation and function of cell wall components. In present study we have created an M. smegmatis ΔsigF mutant by allele exchange method. M. smegmatis sigF mutant shows non pigmented phenotype and is more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide generated oxidative stress. DNA microarray analysis of M. smegmatis wild type and ΔsigF mutant suggests that SigF in this species controls the expression of several energy and central intermediary metabolism genes along with regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis.

2-Methylcitrate cycle: a well-regulated controller in Bacillus sporulation

Project description:To understand which gene(s) are affected by 2-methylcitrate to lead to the delayed sporulation in ∆prpD, we extracted the total RNA from BMB171 and ∆prpD at 12 h for whole genome transcription analysis by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Our RNA-seq data showed that transcriptions of almost all of the SigF regulon genes, as concluded from the B. subtilis regulon, were significantly down-regulated in ∆prpD compared with the wild type BMB171. However, almost all the regulon genes of SigH, a sigma factor that functions upstream of SigF, were significantly up-regulated in ∆prpD. Those genes included spo0A, the early-expressed operon spoIIA and sigF itself. These results indicated that dysregulation of genes occurred on various levels. In particular, though, post-transcriptional inhibition of sigF functionality might subsequently lead to down-regulation of SigF regulon genes in the ∆prpD mutant.
