Project description:Many bacterial genomes exclusively display an N4-methyl cytosine base (m4C), whose physiological significance is not yet clear. Helicobacter pylori is a carcinogenic bacterium and the leading cause of gastric cancer in humans. Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 harbors a single m4C cytosine methyltransferase, M2.HpyAII which recognizes 5' TCTTC 3' sequence and methylates the first cytosine residue. To understand the role of m4C modification, M2.hpyAII deletion strain was constructed. Deletion strain displayed lower adherence to host AGS cells and reduced potential to induce inflammation and apoptosis. M2.hpyAII gene deletion strain exhibited reduced capacity for natural transformation, which was rescued in the complemented strain carrying an active copy of M2.hpyAII gene in the genome. Genome-wide gene expression and proteomic analysis were carried out to discern the possible reasons behind the altered phenotype of the M2.hpyAII gene deletion strain. Upon the loss of m4C modification a total of 102 genes belonging to virulence, ribosome assembly and cellular components were differentially expressed. The present study adds a functional role for the presence of m4C modification in H. pylori and provides the first evidence that m4C signal acts as a global epigenetic regulator in H. pylori.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori genome is rich in restriction - modification (R-M) systems. Around 4 % of the genome codes for components of R-M systems. hpyAVIBM, which codes for a putative phase-variable C5 - cytosine methyltransferase (MTase) from H. pylori lacks a cognate restriction enzyme.

Project description:Six bacterial genomes, Geobacter metallireducens GS-15, Chromohalobacter salexigens, Vibrio breoganii 1C-10, Bacillus cereus ATCC 10987, Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni 81-176 and Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168, all of which had previously been sequenced using other platforms were re-sequenced using single-molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing specifically to analyze their methylomes. In every case a number of new N6-methyladenine (m6A) and N4-methylcytosine (m4C) methylation patterns were discovered and the DNA methyltransferases (MTases) responsible for those methylation patterns were assigned. In 15 cases it was possible to match MTase genes with MTase recognition sequences without further sub-cloning. Two Type I restriction systems required sub-cloning to differentiate their recognition sequences, while four MTases genes that were not expressed in the native organism were sub-cloned to test for viability and recognition sequences. No attempt was made to detect 5-methylcytosine (m5C) recognition motifs from the SMRT sequencing data because this modification produces weaker signals using current methods. However, all predicted m6A and m4C MTases were detected unambiguously. This study shows that the addition of SMRT sequencing to traditional sequencing approaches gives a wealth of useful functional information about a genome showing not only which MTase genes are active, but also revealing their recognition sequences.

Project description:We engineered a derivative of H. pylori strain 26695 that expresses an N-terminal DDK-tagged version of LolF from the endogenous locus. As controls, we also engineered strains to express DDK-tagged versions of two unrelated inner membrane proteins ExbD2 and FrdC. The tagged proteins were affinity purified and co-purifying proteins were identified by LC/MS-MS. We then performed an unbiased analysis using SAINTexpress (Significance Analysis of INTeractome) that included data from affinity purifications of test (i.e., LolF-DDK) and control (i.e., ExbD2-DDK and FrdC-DDK) bait proteins. This led to identification of HP0179 as an interaction partner of LolF. We then engineered a derivative of H. pylori strain 26695 that expresses a C-terminal HA-tagged version of HP0179. As controls, additional strains were generated that express HA-tagged versions of two unrelated proteins HP0838 and CagF. he tagged proteins were affinity purified and co-purifying proteins were identified by LC/MS-MS. We then performed an unbiased analysis using SAINTexpress that included data from affinity purifications of test (i.e., HP0179-HA) and control (i.e., HP0838-HA and CagF-HA) bait proteins. This led to identification of LolF as an interaction partner of HP0179.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach of half of the world's population, causing a wide spectrum of disease ranging from asymptomatic gastritis to ulcers to gastric cancer. Although the basis for these diverse clinical outcomes is not understood, more severe disease is associated with strains harboring a pathogenicity island. To characterize the genetic diversity of more and less virulent strains, we examined the genomic content of 15 H. pylori clinical isolates by using a whole genome H. pylori DNA microarray. We found that a full 22% of H. pylori genes are dispensable in one or more strains, thus defining a minimal functional core of 1281 H. pylori genes. While the core genes encode most metabolic and cellular processes, the strain-specific genes include genes unique to H. pylori, restriction modification genes, transposases, and genes encoding cell surface proteins, which may aid the bacteria under specific circumstances during their long-term infection of genetically diverse hosts. We observed distinct patterns of the strain-specific gene distribution along the chromosome, which may result from different mechanisms of gene acquisition and loss. Among the strain-specific genes, we have found a class of candidate virulence genes identified by their coinheritance with the pathogenicity island. Keywords: other

Project description:We performed a transcriptome analysis of two Helicobacter pylori wild-type strains and their corresponding mutants lacking a highly conserved GCGC-specific m5C-MTase (JHP1050) that was predicted to be active in all of 459 H. pylori genome sequences analyzed. Transcriptome data revealed that m5C-methylation modifies the transcription of multiple genes related to adherence to host cells, natural competence for DNA uptake or susceptibility to copper.
