Single-peptide DNA-dependent RNA polymerase homologous to multi-subunit RNA polymerase

ABSTRACT: Transcription, the copying of genetic information into RNA, is accomplished by multi-subunit RNA polymerases (msRNAPs) in all living organisms. msRNAPs are highly conserved in evolution and invariantly share a ~400 kDa five-subunit catalytic core1,2. A group of hypothetical single-chain proteins of unknown function, present in various bacteria and bacteriophages, was predicted to be distantly related to msRNAPs, having diverged from them before the Last Universal Common Ancestor3. Here, we studied a ~100 kDa protein, YonO, from this group encoded by the bacteriophage SPβ of Bacillus subtilis. We show that despite homology to only several amino acids of msRNAP, and the absence of most of the conserved domains, YonO is a highly processive and fast DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Unlike msRNAPs, YonO can start specific transcription on double-stranded DNA without additional factors. We show that YonO is a bona fide RNAP of SPβ bacteriophage that transcribes its late genes. This new class of RNAPs may represent an intermediate step in the evolution of an ancestor of all msRNAPs.

Biological characterization of virulent therapeutic bacteriophage PAK_P3 infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:We have isolated and characterized several bacteriophages infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa distantly related to Felix O1 virus and proposed they form a new subfamily named Felixounavirinae. The infectious cycle of bacteriophages belonging to this subfamily has not been studied yet in terms of gene expression. The present study reports the RNA-Seq analysis of bacteriophage PAK_P3 infecting PAK strain of P. aeruginosa. RNA profile of Host and Phage at 0min, 3.5min and 13 min after infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK strain with the Pseudomonas phage PAK P3. Three biological replicates for each time point.

MYC Recruits SPT5 to RNA Polymerase II to Promote Processive Transcription Elongation

Project description:The MYC oncoprotein binds to promoter-proximal regions of virtually all transcribed genes and is expressed in a strictly growth factor-dependent manner in non-tumor cells. Here we show that MYC directly binds SPT5, a subunit of the RNA polymerase II (POL2) elongation factor DSIF. MYC recruits SPT5 to genes and enables the CDK7-dependent transfer of SPT5 onto POL2. Consistent with known functions of SPT5, MYC is required for fast and processive transcription elongation. In addition, MYC increases the directionality of promoters by stimulating sense transcription and suppressing the synthesis of antisense RNAs. Our results argue that MYC controls the productive assembly of POL2 with general elongation factors to form processive elongation complexes. The high levels of MYC that are expressed in tumors sequester SPT5 into non-functional complexes, slows transcription at growth-suppressive genes and promotes uncontrolled cellular growth.

RNA-Seq analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 cells infected with PhiKZ phage

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PhiKZ is the type representative of the M-bM-^@M-^XgiantM-bM-^@M-^Y phage genus with unusually large virions and genomes. By unraveling the transcriptional map of the 280 kb genome to single-nucleotide resolution, we show that it encodes 369 genes organized in 134 operons, 20% more than originally annotated. Early transcription is initiated from 28 highly conserved AT-rich promoters distributed over the PhiKZ genome, all located on the same strand. Transcription of middle and late genes is dependent on protein synthesis and mediated by very poorly conserved middle (6) and late (16) promoters. As a result of massive PhiKZ transcription, halfway through infection only 1.5% of all mRNAs in the infected cell remain bacterial. Unique to PhiKZ is its ability to complete its infection in complete absence of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) enzyme activity. Its transcription is performed by the consecutive action of two PhiKZ-encoded, non-canonical RNAPs, one of which is packed within the virion. This unique, rifampicin-resistant transcriptional machinery is conserved among giant viruses, seems to function without auxiliary factors and might have its origin preceding the split between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Construction of transcription maps for the PhiKZ phage and analysis of differential expression of host and phage genes using RNA-Seq data from samples taken in duplicate at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 35 minutes into infection.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa two-component regulator BfmR controls bacteriophage lysis and DNA release during biofilm development through PhdA

Project description:Biofilms are surface-adhered bacterial communities encased in an extracellular matrix composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and extracelluar (e)DNA, with eDNA being required for the formation and integrity of biofilms. Here we demonstrate that the spatial and temporal release of eDNA is regulated by BfmR, a regulator essential for Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development. The expression of bfmR coincided with localized cell death and DNA release, with high eDNA concentrations localized to the outer part of microcolonies in the form of a ring and as a cap on small clusters. Additionally, eDNA release and cell lysis increased significantly following bfmR inactivation. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling indicated that bfmR was required for repression of genes associated with bacteriophage assembly and bacteriophage-mediated lysis. In order to determine which of these genes were directly regulated by BfmR, we utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis to identify the promoter of PA0691, termed here phdA, encoding a previously undescribed homologue of the prevent-host-death (Phd) family of proteins. Lack of phdA expression coincided with impaired biofilm development, increased cell death and bacteriophage release, a phenotype comparable to ΔbfmR. Expression of phdA in ΔbfmR biofilms restored eDNA release, cell lysis, release of bacteriophages, and biofilm formation to wild type levels. Moreover, overexpression of phdA rendered P. aeruginosa resistant to lysis mediated by superinfective bacteriophage Pf4 which was only detected in biofilms. The expression of bfmR was stimulated by conditions resulting in membrane perturbation and cell lysis. Thus, we propose that BfmR regulates biofilm development by controlling bacteriophage-mediated lysis and thus, cell death and eDNA release, via PhdA.

Characterization vy crosslinking-mass spectrometry of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase purified from Sinapis alba.

Project description:RNA polymerases (RNAPs) transcribe DNA into RNA and are found in all living organisms with several degrees of complexity from single polypeptide chain to multimeric enzymes. In chloroplast of angiosperms, two RNAPs are involved in plastid gene transcription: the nuclear-encoded RNA polymerase (NEP) and the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP). The PEP is a prokaryotic-type multimeric RNAP found in different states depending on light stimuli and cell identity. One of these active states requires the assembly of nuclear-encoded proteins named PEP-Associated Proteins (PAPs) with the catalytic core, triggering the timely transcription of photosynthesis-associated plastid genes in cells acquiring their photosynthetic apparatus. A purification procedure was used to enrich native PEP from Sinapis alba chloroplasts. Crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry provided initial structural information about the relative position of PEP subunits within the complex.

RNA polymerase III interactome

Project description:Many regulatory proteins and complexes have been identified which influence transcription by RNA polymerase (pol) II with a fine precision. In comparison, only a few regulatory proteins are known for pol III, which transcribes mostly house-keeping and non-coding RNAs. Yet, pol III transcription is precisely regulated under various stress conditions like starvation. We used proteomic approaches and pol III transcription complex components TFIIIC (Tfc6), pol III (Rpc128) and TFIIIB (Brf1) as baits to find identify the potential interactors through mass spectrometry-based proteomics. A large number of proteins were found in the interactome, which includes known chromatin modifiers, factors and regulators of transcription by pol I and pol II.
