Project description:More than 200 direct CodY target genes in Staphylococcus aureus were identified by genome-wide analysis of in vitro DNA binding. This analysis, which was confirmed for some genes by DNase I footprinting assays, revealed that CodY is a direct regulator of numerous transcription units associated with amino acid biosynthesis, transport of macromolecules and virulence. The virulence genes regulated by CodY fell into three groups. One group was dependent on the Agr system for its expression; these genes were indirectly regulated by CodY through its repression of the agr locus. A second group was regulated directly by CodY. The third group, which includes genes for alpha-toxin and capsule synthesis, was regulated by CodY in two ways, i.e., by direct repression and by repression of the agr locus. Since S. aureus CodY was activated in vitro by the branched chain amino acids and GTP, CodY appears to link changes in intracellular metabolite pools with the induction of numerous adaptive responses, including virulence.

Project description:In this report, codY mutant strains were constructed and used to demonstrate the relationship of (p)ppGpp synthesized by RelP and RelQ with the activation of CodY. In addition, because CodY has not been studied in S. mutans, we used microarrays to demonstrate that this protein function as a global regulator of gene expression in S. mutans.

Project description:CodY is a widely conserved global regulator, regulating nitrogen metabolism, virulence, and stress response in Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we performed ChIP-seq to define the CodY regulon in L. lactis, and found that CodY served either as an activator or as a repressor of hundreds of genes. The genes involved in amino acid biosynthesis and transport, cell wall synthesis, nisin synthesis and immunity, and several transcription regulators were identified regulated by CodY for the first time. Intriguingly, CodY could directly bind to the downstream of codY. This study gives new insights into the function of CodY controlling cell wall synthesis, nisin synthesis and immunity, as well as self-regulation in L. lactis.

Project description:CodY, a global regulatory protein that monitors the nutrient sufficiency of the environment by responding to the intracellular levels of GTP and the branched-chain amino acids, was previously shown to be a potent repressor of toxin gene expression in Clostridium difficile during growth in rich medium. In the intestinal tract, such derepression of toxin synthesis may lead to destruction of epithelial cells and the liberation of potential nutrients for the bacterium. CodY is likely to play an important role in regulating overall cellular physiology as well. In this study, DNA microarray analysis and affinity purification of CodY-DNA complexes were used to identify and distinguish the direct and indirect effects of CodY on global gene transcription. A codY null mutation resulted in >4-fold overexpression of 146 genes (organized in 82 apparent transcription units) and underexpression of 19 genes. In addition to the toxin genes, genes for amino acid biosynthesis, nutrient transport, fermentation pathways, membrane components and surface proteins were overexpressed in the codY mutant. Genome-wide analysis identified more than 350 CodY binding regions, many of which are likely to correspond to sites of direct CodY-mediated regulation. About 60% of the CodY-repressed transcription units were associated with binding regions. Several of these genes were confirmed to be direct targets of CodY by gel mobility shift and DNase I footprinting assays.

Project description:CodY is a conserved broad acting transcriptional factor that regulates the expression of genes related to amino acid metabolism and virulence in Staphylococcus aureus. CodY target genes have been studied by using in vitro DNA affinity purification and deep sequencing (IDAP-Seq). In this study we performed the first in vivo determination of CodY target genes using a novel CodY monoclonal antibody in established ChIP-exo protocols. Our results showed, 1) The same 165 CodY target genes in both strains; 2) That the differential binding intensity for the same target genes under the same conditions were due to sequence differences in the same CodY binding site in the two strains; 3) Based on transcriptomic data, a CodY regulon comprising 72 target genes that revealed that CodY is mainly involved in amino acid transport and metabolism, inorganic ion transport and metabolism, and cellular transcription and translation; and 4) CodY systematically regulated central metabolic flux to generate branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) by mapping the CodY regulon onto a genome-scale metabolic model of S. aureus. Our study performed the first system-level analysis of CodY in two closely related dominant USA300 TCH1516 and LAC strains, thus expanding the size of the known CodY regulon, and giving new insights into the similarities and differences of CodY regulatory roles between closely related strains.

Affymetrix GeneChips were used to compare the transcript titers of S. aureus strains UAMS-1 (wild type) and corresponding agr- (strain CM18), codY- (strain MS1), and agr- codY- (strain CM19) isogenic mutant strains during exponential and stationary phase growth. At least two biological replicates were assessed for each strain and each growth phase.

Project description:CodY is a conserved regulator in gram-positive organisms described to repress metabolic genes mainly involved in nitrogen metabolism but also to control the expression of virulence genes in pathogens. We constructed codY gene-replacement mutants in three unrelated S. aureus strains (Newman, UAMS-1, RN1HG). codY mutants grew slower in a chemically defined medium compared to the wild type strains. However, only codY mutants were able to grow in medium lacking threonine. Excess of isoleucine resulted in growth inhibition in the wild type but not in the codY mutants indicating a role of isoleucine for CodY dependent repression of metabolic genes. The prototypic CodY-repressed operon ilvDBCleuABCilvA is preceded by a CodY-binding motif and repressed after up-shift with isoleucine and to a lesser extent guanidine. Transcription of the quorum sensing system agr followed a similar expression pattern. The codY dependent repression of agr is in line with the concomitant influence of CodY on typical agr regulated genes such as cap, spa fnbA and coa. However, transcriptional analysis revealed that most of these virulence genes (e.g. cap, fnbA, spa hla) are also regulated by CodY in an agr negative background. Microarray analysis revealed the large majority of codY-repressed genes are involved in amino-acid transport and metabolism, genes showing codY dependent activation were mainly involved in nucleotide transport and metabolism or virulence. In summary, CodY in S. aureus not only acts as repressor for genes involved in nitrogen metabolism but also contributes to virulence gene regulation by supporting as well as substituting agr function.
