Regulation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosishypoxic response gene encoding alpha-crystallin

ABSTRACT: Unlike many pathogens that are overtly toxic to their hosts, the primary virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis appears to be its ability to persist for years or decades within humans in a clinically latent state. Since early in the 20th century latency has been linked to hypoxic conditions within the host, but the response of M. tuberculosis to a hypoxic signal remains poorly characterized. The M. tuberculosis alpha-crystallin (acr) gene is powerfully and rapidly induced at reduced oxygen tensions, providing us with a means to identify regulators of the hypoxic response. Using a whole genome microarray, we identified >100 genes whose expression is rapidly altered by defined hypoxic conditions. Numerous genes involved in biosynthesis and aerobic metabolism are repressed, whereas a high proportion of the induced genes have no known function. Among the induced genes is an apparent operon that includes the putative two-component response regulator pair Rv3133cy Rv3132c. When we interrupted expression of this operon by targeted disruption of the upstream gene Rv3134c, the hypoxic regulation of acr was eliminated. These results suggest a possible role for Rv3132cy3133cy3134c in mycobacterial latency. Keywords: comparative genome hybridization design and stimulus or stress design

Rv3133c/dosR is a transcription factor that mediates the hypoxic response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Unlike many pathogens that are overtly harmful to their hosts, Mycobacterium tuberculosis can persist for years within humans in a clinically latent state. Latency is often linked to hypoxic conditions within the host. Among M. tuberculosis genes induced by hypoxia is a putative transcription factor, Rv3133c/DosR. We performed targeted disruption of this locus followed by transcriptome analysis of wild-type and mutant bacilli. Nearly all the genes powerfully regulated by hypoxia require Rv3133c/DosR for their induction. Computer analysis identified a consensus motif, a variant of which is located upstream of nearly all M. tuberculosis genes rapidly induced by hypoxia. Further, Rv3133c/DosR binds to the two copies of this motif upstream of the hypoxic response gene alpha-crystallin. Mutations within the binding sites abolish both Rv3133c/DosR binding as well as hypoxic induction of a downstream reporter gene. Also, mutation experiments with Rv3133c/DosR confirmed sequence-based predictions that the C-terminus is responsible for DNA binding and that the aspartate at position 54 is essential for function. Together, these results demonstrate that Rv3133c/DosR is a transcription factor of the two-component response regulator class, and that it is the primary mediator of a hypoxic signal within M. tuberculosis. Keywords: strain or line design, genetic modification design and comparative genome hybridization design

Condition-Specific Mapping of Operons (COSMO) Using Dynamic and Static Genome Data

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.

Gene expression profling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37RvΔdosSΔdosT in 0.2% glucose/acetate under aerobic/hypoxic conditions

Project description:The present study reports the gene expression data of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37RvΔdosSΔdosT (DKO) grown on 0.2 % acetate/glucose under aerobic/hypoxic conditions. Acetate was reported to be present in granulomas of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected guinea pigs which are also hypoxic. By exposing Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37RvΔdosSΔdosT to different combinations of granulomatous stresses (acetate/glucose and aerobic/hypoxic conditions) alongwith other experimental data, we were able to delineate a new signaling pathway that activates DevR (DosR) regulon through Acetyl phosphate. The presence of two pathways highlights the importance of targeting DevR and not DevS/DosT for intercepting DevRST signalling cascade.

Transcription profiling of human transplanted intestine before signs of rejects and when there was signs of actue cellular rejection

Project description:Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is the major cause of intestinal graft loss. Little is known about the genetic response occurring in small bowel transplantation (SBTx) during ACR. We report the case of a 44 year-old female with short gut syndrome following multiple surgeries for familial adenomatous polyposis that underwent living-related SBTx. We obtained for the first time a gene expression profile of the intestinal graft during ACR. Microarray analysis revealed increased transcript levels for genes that match identically to an IFN? signature reported for activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells and T-cell chemotaxis and cytolysis correlating with the diagnosis of ACR. Experiment Overall Design: sam1, sam2, sam3 (without signs of rejection) Experiment Overall Design: sam4, sam5, sam6 (with signs and symptoms of rejection , histology showed increasing lymphocyte infiltration in the lamina propria and epithelium)
