Project description:The periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria includes a variety of molecular chaperones that shepherd the folding and targeting of secreted proteins. A central player of this quality control network is DegP, a protease also suggested to have a chaperone function. We serendipitously discovered that production of the Bordetella pertussis autotransporter virulence protein pertactin is lethal in Escherichia coli ΔdegP strains. We investigated specific contributions of DegP to secretion of pertactin as a model system to test the functions of DegP in vivo. The DegP chaperone activity was sufficient to restore growth during pertactin production. This chaperone dependency could be relieved by changing the pertactin signal sequence: an E. coli signal sequence leading to co-translational inner membrane (IM) translocation was sufficient to suppress lethality in the absence of DegP, whereas an E. coli post-translational signal sequence was sufficient to recapitulate the lethal phenotype. These results identify a novel connection between the DegP chaperone and the mechanism used to translocate a protein across the IM. Lethality coincided with loss of periplasmic proteins, soluble σE, and proteins regulated by this essential stress response. These results suggest post-translational IM translocation can lead to the formation of toxic periplasmic folding intermediates, which DegP can suppress.

Project description:Chaperones, nucleosome remodeling complexes and histone acetyltransferases have been implicated in nucleosome disassembly at promoters of particular yeast genes, but whether these co-factors function ubiquitously, and the impact of nucleosome eviction on transcription genome-wide, are poorly understood. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation of histone H3 and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in mutants lacking single or multiple co-factors to address these issues for ~200 genes belonging to the Gcn4 transcriptome, of which ~70 exhibit marked reductions in H3 promoter occupancy on induction by amino acid starvation. Examining four target genes in a panel of mutants indicated that SWI/SNF, Gcn5, the Hsp70 co-chaperone Ydj1, and chromatin-associated factor Yta7 are required downstream of Gcn4 binding for robust H3 eviction in otherwise wild-type cells. Using ChIP-seq to interrogate all 70 exemplar genes in single, double and triple mutants implicated Gcn5, Snf2 and Ydj1 in H3 eviction at most, but not all Gcn4 target promoters, with Gcn5 generally playing the greatest role and Ydj1 the least. Remarkably, these 3 co-factors cooperate similarly in H3 eviction at virtually all yeast promoters. Defective H3 eviction in co-factor mutants was coupled with reduced Pol II occupancies for the Gcn4 transcriptome and the most highly expressed uninduced genes, but the relative Pol II levels at most genes were unaffected or even elevated. These findings indicate that nucleosome eviction is crucial for robust transcription of highly expressed genes, but that other steps in gene activation are more rate-limiting for most other yeast genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA from WT (induced(+SM) and uninduced(no SM)) and mutants (induced(+SM)) followed by paired-end sequencing. Nucleosomal DNA obtained by MNase digestion were also subjected to paired-end sequencing.

Project description:As nascent polypeptides exit ribosomes, they are engaged by a series of processing, targeting and folding factors. Here we present a selective ribosome profiling strategy that enables global monitoring of when these factors engage polypeptides in the complex cellular environment. Studies of the Escherichia coli chaperone Trigger Factor (TF) reveal that, while TF can interact with many polypeptides, β-barrel outer membrane proteins are the most prominent substrates. Loss of TF leads to broad outer membrane defects and premature, cotranslational protein translocation. While in vitro studies suggested that TF is prebound to ribosomes waiting for polypeptides to emerge from the exit channel, we find that in vivo TF engages ribosomes only after ~100 amino acids are translated. Moreover, excess TF interferes with cotranslational removal of the N-terminal formyl methionine. Our studies support a triaging model in which proper protein biogenesis relies on the fine-tuned, sequential engagement of processing, targeting ad folding factors. Examination of translation in the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, as well as an analysis of the interactions between nascent chains and the molecular chaperone Trigger Factor.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 ?fnr mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the FNR protein. WT strains were grown under aerobic and anaerobic growth conditions. A six chip study using total RNA recovered from two separate cultures of Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 WT (aerobic and anaerobic) and two separate cultures of the ?fnr mutant strain (anaerobic). Each chip measures the expression level of 4,661 genes from Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 with eight 60-mer probes per gene, with each probe represented twice on the array.

Project description:Htt14A2.5 is a clonal rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell line, that expresses a truncated form of expanded repeat Htt exon 1 protein fused at the C-terminus to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). For total RNA preparation, ~3 x 105 cells were plated on 150 mm plates and the following day either induced with 5 microM PA or treated with ethanol alone (uninduced) for 48 hrs followed by direct lysis using the RNeasy total RNA prep as described by the manufacturer (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Cells were harvested at approximately 40-60% confluency. RNA was quantitated spectrophotometrically and integrity tested by capillary electrophoresis (Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer). 25 micrograms total RNA was used to generate target cRNAs for hybridization to Affymetrix Rat Genome U34A oligonculeotide arrays (UCI DNA Array Core Facility). Four separate cell growths were performed for the PA induced verses uninduced comparisons. Target cRNA was synthesized separately for each of these cell growths and hybridized individually to the oligonucleotide microarrays. Keywords = huntingtin Keywords = PC12 Keywords: repeat sample

Project description:The transcriptional changes in Escherichia coli upon induction of the SOS response are investigated by utilizing custom designed oligonucleotide microarrays. Keywords: Gene expression during the SOS response in Escherichia coli Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 single colony in five parallells was grown to mid-log phase and exposed to UV to induce the SOS response. Total RNA was extracted from induced and uninduced cells and cDNA was prepared, fragmented and labelled prior to hybridizing to arrays. The arrays was designed to maximize the genomic coverage whilst simultaneous including only probes estimated to give an approximately uniform binding affinity. Regions coding for non-hypothetical proteins or RNAs where covered less densely than the intergenic parts.

Project description:DNA microarrays were used to compare the E. coli gene expression response to soluble and insoluble recombinant protein production. The study objective was to characterize the dynamic transcriptional changes that occur as insoluble recombinant protein is produced Recombinant cultures producing VP1GFP and GFPCAT in minimal medium (MM) cultures and VP1GFP in ethanol-treated cultures were analyzed. A total of 15 samples were collected. Samples were collected at 5, 20, 40, and 60 minutes post-induction for all induced MM cultures and at 60 minutes post-induction for the induced ethanol-treated cultures. Samples were collected at time 0 and 60 minutes for the uninduced MM and uninduced ethanol-treated cultures. Time 0 of the ethanol-treated VP1GFP cultures consisted of six biological replicates, while the remaining 14 samples were conducted in biological replicates. All biological replicates represent expression data from three independent hybridizations.
