Project description:We have shown the quorum-sensing signals acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), autoinducer-2 (AI-2), and indole influence the biofilm formation of Escherichia coli. Here, we investigate how the environment, i.e., temperature, affects indole and AI-2 signaling in E. coli. We show in biofilms that indole addition leads to more extensive differential gene expression at 30°C (186 genes) than at 37°C (59 genes), that indole reduces biofilm formation (without affecting growth) more significantly at 25°C and 30°C than at 37°C, and that the effect is associated with the quorum-sensing protein SdiA. The addition of indole at 30°C compared to 37°C most significantly repressed genes involved in uridine monophosphate (UMP) biosynthesis (carAB, pyrLBI, pyrC, pyrD pyrF, and upp) and uracil transport (uraA). These uracil-related genes are also repressed at 30°C by SdiA, which confirms SdiA is involved in indole signaling. Also, compared to 37°C, indole more significantly decreased flagella-related qseB, flhD, and fliA promoter activity, enhanced antibiotic resistance, and inhibited cell division at 30°C. In contrast to indole and SdiA, the addition of (S)-4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione (the AI-2 precursor) leads to more extensive differential gene expression at 37°C (63 genes) than at 30°C (11 genes), and, rather than repressing UMP synthesis genes, AI-2 induces them at 37°C (but not at 30°C). Also, the addition of AI-2 induces the transcription of virulence genes in enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 at 37°C but not at 30°C. Hence, cell signals cause diverse responses at different temperatures, and indole- and AI-2-based signaling are intertwined.

Project description:The rate of differential synthesis of beta-galactosidase (alphalac) was measured in maximally induced cultures of Escherichia coli B/r with 0.01 M-inducer and 0.01 M-cyclic AMP. The value of alphalac decreases with growth rate (60% between 0.67 and 2.1 doublings/h) and after a nutritional shift-up. This decrease is presumed to reflect a decrease in the intracellular concentration of free active RNA polymerase after a shift-up, which implies that the increase in ribosome synthesis after a shift-up is due to an active induction of the ribosomal components.

Project description:Genetic robustness refers to phenotypic invariance in the face of mutation and is a common characteristic of life, but its evolutionary origin is highly controversial. Genetic robustness could be an intrinsic property of biological systems, a result of direct natural selection, or a byproduct of selection for environmental robustness. To differentiate among these hypotheses, we analyze the metabolic network of Escherichia coli and comparable functional random networks. Treating the flux of each reaction as a trait and computationally predicting trait values upon mutations or environmental shifts, we discover that 1) genetic robustness is greater for the actual network than the random networks, 2) the genetic robustness of a trait increases with trait importance and this correlation is stronger in the actual network than in the random networks, and 3) the above result holds even after the control of environmental robustness. These findings demonstrate an adaptive origin of genetic robustness, consistent with the theoretical prediction that, under certain conditions, direct selection is sufficiently powerful to promote genetic robustness in cellular organisms.

Project description:Anthocyanins are red, purple, or blue plant pigments that belong to the family of polyphenolic compounds collectively called flavonoids. Their demonstrated antioxidant properties and economic importance to the dye, fruit, and cut-flower industries have driven intensive research into their metabolic biosynthetic pathways. In order to produce stable, glycosylated anthocyanins from colorless flavanones such as naringenin and eriodictyol, a four-step metabolic pathway was constructed that contained plant genes from heterologous origins: flavanone 3beta-hydroxylase from Malus domestica, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase from Anthurium andraeanum, anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) also from M. domestica, and UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase from Petunia hybrida. Using two rounds of PCR, each one of the four genes was first placed under the control of the trc promoter and its own bacterial ribosome-binding site and then cloned sequentially into vector pK184. Escherichia coli cells containing the recombinant plant pathway were able to take up either naringenin or eriodictyol and convert it to the corresponding glycosylated anthocyanin, pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside or cyanidin 3-O-glucoside. The produced anthocyanins were present at low concentrations, while most of the metabolites detected corresponded to their dihydroflavonol precursors, as well as the corresponding flavonols. The presence of side product flavonols is at least partly due to an alternate reaction catalyzed by ANS. This is the first time plant-specific anthocyanins have been produced from a microorganism and opens up the possibility of further production improvement by protein and pathway engineering.

Project description:Hyperoside (quercetin 3-O-galactoside) exhibits many biological functions, along with higher bioactivities than quercetin. In this study, three UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) were screened for efficient hyperoside synthesis from quercetin. The highest hyperoside production of 58.5 mg·L-1 was obtained in a recombinant Escherichia coli co-expressing UGT from Petunia hybrida (PhUGT) and UDP-glucose epimerase (GalE, a key enzyme catalyzing the conversion of UDP-glucose to UDP-galactose) from E. coli. When additional enzymes (phosphoglucomutase (Pgm) and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (GalU)) were introduced into the recombinant E. coli, the increased flux toward UDP-glucose synthesis led to enhanced UDP-galactose-derived hyperoside synthesis. The efficiency of the recombinant strain was further improved by increasing the copy number of the PhUGT, which is a limiting step in the bioconversion. Through the optimization of the fermentation conditions, the production of hyperoside increased from 245.6 to 411.2 mg·L-1. The production was also conducted using a substrate-fed batch fermentation, and the maximal hyperoside production was 831.6 mg·L-1, with a molar conversion ratio of 90.2% and a specific productivity of 27.7 mg·L-1·h-1 after 30 h of fermentation. The efficient hyperoside synthesis pathway described here can be used widely for the glycosylation of other flavonoids and bioactive substances.

Project description:Escherichia coli is a diverse and ubiquitous strain of both commensal and pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we propose the use of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using amplification of three genes (cydA, lacY, and ydiV), as a method for determining the affiliation of the tested strains to the E. coli species. The novelty of the method lies in the small number of steps needed to perform the diagnosis and, consequently, in the small amount of time needed to obtain it. This method, like any other, has some limitations, but its advantage is fast, cheap, and reliable identification of the presence of E. coli. Sequences of the indicated genes from 1,171 complete E. coli genomes in the NCBI database were used to prepare the primers. The developed multiplex PCR was tested on 47,370 different Enterobacteriaceae genomes using in silico PCR. The sensitivity and specificity of the developed test were 95.76% and 99.49%, respectively. Wet laboratory analyses confirmed the high specificity, repeatability, reproducibility, and reliability of the proposed test. Because of the detection of three genes, this method is very cost and labor-effective, yet still highly accurate, specific, and sensitive in comparison to similar methods.ImportanceDetection of E. coli from environmental or clinical samples is important due to the common occurrence of this species of bacteria in all human and animal environments. As commonly known, these bacteria strains can be commensal and pathogenic, causing numerous infections of clinical importance, including infections of the digestive system, urinary, respiratory, and even meninges, particularly dangerous for newborns. The developed multiplex polymerase chain reaction test, confirming the presence of E. coli in samples, can be used in many laboratories. The test provides new opportunities for quick and cheap analyses, detecting E. coli using only three pairs of primers (analysis of the presence of three genes) responsible for metabolism and distinguishing E. coli from other pathogens from the Enterobacteriaceae family. Compared to other tests previously described in the literature, our method is characterized by high specificity and sensitivity.

Project description:We utilize ribosome profiling to directly monitor translation in E. coli at 30 °C and investigate how this changes after 10-20 minutes of heat shock at 42 °C. Translation is controlled by the interplay of several RNA hybridization processes, which are expected to be temperature sensitive. We observe that translation efficiencies are robustly maintained after thermal heat shock and after mimicking the heat shock response transcriptional program at 30 °C.
