Global gene expression profiles of Mycobacterium smegmatis under shock and mild nutrient starvation

ABSTRACT: Mycobacteria are known to be non-spore forming but very hardy: the bacilli can for instance survive starvation in zero-nutrient saline in a non-replicating state. Recently we reported that mycobacteria in fact can undergo cellular differentiation when exposed to different starvation conditions. The presence of traces of nutrients triggers the development of a new, ‘small resting cell’ form (SMRCs). Saline shock-starved large resting cells (LARCs), which did not show cell size or surface changes when observed by scanning electron microscopy, remodeled their internal structure to the septated, multi-nucleoided cells seen during differentiation to SMRCs. Here we conduct RNA-seq to gain greater insights into whether starvation elicited a distinct developmental pathway. Comparative transcriptome analysis of SMRC and LARC development revealed largely overlapping sets of differentially expressed regulatory and metabolic genes. These transcriptome data are consistent with a mycobacterial starvation-induced differentiation program in which at first septated, multi-nuceloided cells are generated. Under zero-nutrient conditions bacteria terminate development at this stage as LARCs. In the presence of traces of a carbon source, these multi-nucleoided cells continue differentiation into mono-nuleoided SMRCs.

Facile metabolic reprogramming distinguishes mycobacterial adaptation to hypoxia and starvation: The role of ketosis in starvation-induced persistence

Project description:Mycobacteria have the ability to adapt to stressful infection conditions by entering a reversible state of non-replicating persistence (NRP) characterized by slow or no cell growth and increased tolerance to various antimicrobial agents. While hypoxia and nutrient deprivation are commonly used to study this NRP state, there is limited understanding of the molecular distinctions in how mycobacteria adapt to these different stresses to achieve a similar NRP outcome. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of Mycobacterium bovis BCG's response to starvation, shedding light on a coordinated metabolic shift away from glycolysis during nutrient-rich growth to the depletion of lipid stores, lipolysis, and fatty acid ß-oxidation during NRP. Interestingly, this response differs from BCG's NRP state under hypoxia, where it shifts towards cholesterol metabolism and triglyceride storage. Our investigation also unveiled hidden metabolic vulnerabilities in the NRP state induced by starvation, notably an increased sensitivity to H2O2. These findings open up possibilities for the development of precise therapeutic approaches against these otherwise challenging-to-treat pathogens.

mTORC1/AMPK responses define a core gene set for developmental cell fate switching

Project description:The kinases mTORC1 and AMPK are at the nexus of nutrient responses and control of cellular growth. However, responses to nutrient loss are complex and affect multiple transcriptional pathways. We are interested in the mTORC1-directed regulation of transcription networks that specifically regulate developmental decisions. Dictyostelium grow logarithmically as single cells in nutrient-rich media, but, upon nutrient withdrawal, growth ceases and cells enter a program for multi-cellular development. Within 30 minutes of starvation, >4,000 genes show significant (p<0.05) changes in gene expression patterns. However, we hypothesize that not all these gene changes are required for development and that many expression changes reflect stress response to a media shift supplementary to nutrient loss, apart from developmental effects. We, thus, sought ways to promote development in the absence of nutrient loss, to better focus on developmentally essential gene sets. Since kinases mTORC1 and AMPK function as nutrient and energy sensors, we first examined their relative activities in Dictyostelium during phases of rapid growth and starvation-induced development. We found that these kinases exhibited reciprocal patterns of activation under various conditions. With this knowledge, we identified rich media conditions that permitted rapid cell growth, but a growth/development switch upon the directed and reciprocal inactivation/activation of mTORC1/AMPK. Examination of gene expression under conditions of development in nutrient-rich media indicated that changes in expression of most starvation-regulated genes were not required for development. Our data suggest that the up-regulation of ~300 genes defines essential early signaling pathways for developmental induction, integrating cAMP/PKA circuitries and including many unclassified genes.

Transcription profiling of fission yeast SAGA mutants shows that the SAGA complex controls the switch from proliferation to sexual differentiation through the opposing roles of its subunits Gcn5 and Spt8

Project description:The SAGA complex is a conserved multifunctional coactivator known to play broad roles in eukaryotic transcription. To gain new insights into its functions, we have performed biochemical and genetic analyses of SAGA in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Purification of the S. pombe SAGA complex showed that its subunit composition is identical to that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis of S. pombe SAGA mutants revealed that SAGA has two opposing roles regulating sexual differentiation. First, in nutrient rich conditions, the SAGA histone acetyltransferase, Gcn5, represses ste11+, which encodes the master regulator of the mating pathway. In contrast, the SAGA subunit Spt8 is required for the induction of ste11+ upon nutrient starvation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that these regulatory effects are direct, as SAGA is physically associated with the ste11+ promoter independent of nutrient levels. Genetic tests suggest that nutrient levels do cause a switch in SAGA function, as spt8? suppresses gcn5? with respect to ste11+ derepression in rich medium, whereas the opposite relationship, gcn5? suppression of spt8?, occurs during starvation. Thus, SAGA plays distinct roles in the control of the switch from proliferation to differentiation in S. pombe through the dynamic and opposing activities of Gcn5 and Spt8.

Gene Enrichment Analysis Reveals Major Regulators of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Gene Expression in Two Models of Antibiotic Tolerance

Project description:The development of antibiotic tolerance is believed to be a major factor in the lengthy duration of current tuberculosis therapies. In the current study, we have modeled antibiotic tolerance in vitro by exposing Mycobacterium tuberculosis to two distinct stress conditions: progressive hypoxia and nutrient starvation [phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)]. We then studied the bacterial transcriptional response using RNA-seq and employed a bioinformatics approach to identify important transcriptional regulators, which was facilitated by a novel Regulon Enrichment Test (RET). A total of 17 transcription factor (TF) regulons were enriched in the hypoxia gene set and 16 regulons were enriched in the nutrient starvation, with 12 regulons enriched in both conditions. Using the same approach to analyze previously published gene expression datasets, we found that three M. tuberculosis regulons (Rv0023, SigH, and Crp) were commonly induced in both stress conditions and were also among the regulons enriched in our data. These regulators are worthy of further study to determine their potential role in the development and maintenance of antibiotic tolerance in M. tuberculosis following stress exposure.

Three-dimensional low shear culture of Mycobacterium bovis BCG induces biofilm formation and antimicrobial drug tolerance

Project description:Mycobacteria naturally grow as corded biofilms in liquid media without detergent. Such detergent-free biofilm phenotypes may reflect the growth pattern of bacilli in tuberculous lung lesions. New strategies are required to treat tuberculosis that is responsible for more deaths each year than any other bacterial disease. The lengthy six-month regimen for drug-sensitive tuberculosis is necessary to remove antimicrobial drug tolerant populations of bacilli that persist through drug therapy. The role of biofilm-like growth in the generation of these sub-populations remains poorly understood despite the hypothesized clinical significance and mounting evidence of biofilms in pathogenesis. We adapted a three-dimensional Rotary Cell Culture System to model M. bovis BCG biofilm growth in low-shear detergent-free liquid suspension. Importantly, biofilms formed without attachment to artificial surfaces and without severe nutrient starvation or environmental stress. Biofilm-derived planktonic bacilli were tolerant to isoniazid and streptomycin, but not rifampicin. This phenotypic drug tolerance was lost after passage in drug-free media. Transcriptional profiling revealed induction of cell surface regulators, sigE and BCG_0559c alongside the ESX-5 secretion apparatus in these low-shear liquid-suspension biofilms. Supernatant from biofilms induced greater pro-inflammatory cytokine release from macrophages. This study engineers and characterizes mycobacteria grown as a suspended biofilm, illuminating new drug discovery pathways for this deadly disease.

Coordinated control of adiposity and growth by anti‐anabolic kinase ERK7

Project description:Nutrient availability influences animal growth and metabolism. How starvation inhibits anabolic functions in vivo remains insufficiently understood. Here we establish an atypical MAP kinase ERK7 as an inhibitor of growth and lipid anabolism with an essential role in the physiological adaptation to starvation stress. Drosophila null mutants of ERK7 display accelerated growth rate and elevated triacylglycerol (TAG) stores on rich diet. ERK7 inhibits TAG storage in the Drosophila fat body by negatively regulating the expression of the Gli-similar transcription factor Sugarbabe. While displaying growth advantage on rich diet, ERK7 mutants fail to cease their growth during starvation and are consequently starvation sensitive. ERK7 modulates the majority of the starvation-induced gene expression response in a genomewide setting, influencing, for example, genes involved in insulin signaling and lipid metabolism. In conclusion, ERK7 regulates peripheral nutrient sensing to control animal growth and lipid metabolism with respect to nutrient availability.
