Project description:We evolved Escherichia coli cells over 500 generations under five environments that include four abiotic stressors: osmotic, acidic, oxidative, n-butanol, and control The goal of the experiment: Bacterial populations have a remarkable capacity to cope with extreme environmental fluctuations in their natural environments. In certain cases, adaptation to one stressful environment provides a fitness advantage when cells are exposed to a second stressor, a phenomenon that has been coined as cross-stress protection. A tantalizing question in bacterial physiology is how the cross-stress behavior emerges during adaptation and what the genetic basis of acquired stress resistance is.

RNA profiles were obtained for six E. coli strains evolved for 500 generations under abiotic stressors; two technical replicates for each strain where sequenced by Illumina GAII analyzer

Project description:Microbes exhibit short and long term responses when exposed to challenging environmental conditions. To what extent these responses are correlated, what their evolutionary potential is and how they translate to cross-stress fitness is still unclear. In this study, we comprehensively characterized the response of Escherichia coli populations to four abiotic stresses (n-butanol, osmotic, acidic, and oxidative) and their combinations by performing genome-scale transcriptional analysis and growth profiling. We performed an analysis of their cross-stress behavior which identified 15 cases of cross- protection and one case of cross vulnerability. To elucidate the evolutionary potential of stress responses to individual stresses and stress combinations, we re-sequenced E. coli populations evolved in those four environments for 500 generations. We developed and applied a network-driven method that integrates mutations and differential expression to identify core and stress-specific gene communities that are likely to have a phenotypic impact. Our results suggest that beyond what is expected from the general stress response mechanisms, cross-stress behavior arises both from common pathways, several including metal ion binding and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and stress-specific expression programs. The stress-specific dependences uncovered, argue that cross-stress behavior is ubiquitous and central to understanding microbial physiology under stressful conditions.

Project description:Organisms frequently experience environmental stresses that occur in predictable patterns and combinations. For wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast growing in natural environments, cells may experience high osmotic stress when they first enter broken fruit, followed by high ethanol levels during fermentation, and then finally high levels of oxidative stress resulting from respiration of ethanol. Yeast have adapted to these patterns by evolving sophisticated “cross protection” mechanisms, where mild ‘primary’ doses of one stress can enhance tolerance to severe doses of a different ‘secondary’ stress. For example, in many yeast strains, mild osmotic or mild ethanol stresses cross protect against severe oxidative stress, which likely reflects an anticipatory response important for high fitness in nature. During the course of genetic mapping studies to understand the mechanisms underlying natural variation in ethanol-induced cross protection against H2O2, we found that a key H2O2 scavenging enzyme, cytosolic catalase T (Ctt1p), was absolutely essential for cross protection in a wild oak strain, suggesting the absence of compensatory mechanisms for acquired H2O2 resistance under that condition. In this study, we found surprising heterogeneity across diverse yeast strains in whether CTT1 function was fully necessary for acquired H2O2 resistance. Some strains exhibited partial dispensability of CTT1 when ethanol and/or salt were used as mild stressors, suggesting that compensatory peroxidases may play a role in acquired stress resistance in certain genetic backgrounds. We leveraged global transcriptional responses to ethanol and salt stresses in strains with different levels of CTT1 dispensability, allowing us to identify possible regulators of these alternative peroxidases and acquired stress resistance in general. Ultimately, this study highlights how superficially similar traits can have different underlying molecular foundations and provides a framework for understanding the diversity and regulation of stress defense mechanisms.

Project description:How to design experiments that accelerate knowledge discovery on complex biological landscapes remains a tantalizing question. Here, we present OPEX, an optimal experimental design method to identify informative omics experiments for both experimental space exploration and model training. OPEX-guided exploration of Escherichia coli's cross-behavior potential, when exposed to novel biocide and antibiotic combinations, led to accelerated knowledge discovery with predictive models that are more accurate while needing 44% fewer data to train. Selecting experiments favoring broader exploration followed by fine-tuning emerged as the optimal strategy. This led to the discovery of 29 cross-protection and 4 cross-vulnerability conditions, with further validation revealing the central role of chaperones, stress response proteins and transport pumps in cross-stress exposure. This work demonstrates how active learning can be used to automate omics data collection for training accurate predictive models, evidence-driven decision making and accelerated knowledge discovery in life sciences.

Project description:In adaptive evolution, an increase in fitness to an environment is frequently accompanied by changes in fitness to other environmental conditions, called cross-resistance and sensitivity. Although the networks between fitness changes affect the course of evolution substantially, the mechanisms underlying such fitness changes are yet to be fully elucidated. Herein, we performed high-throughput laboratory evolution of Escherichia coli under various stress conditions using an automated culture system, and quantified how the acquisition of resistance to one stressor alters the resistance to other stressors. We demonstrated that resistance changes could be quantitatively predicted based on changes in the transcriptome of the resistant strains. We also identified several genes and gene functions, for which mutations were commonly fixed in the strains resistant to the same stress, which could partially explain the observed cross-resistance and collateral sensitivity. The integration of transcriptome and genome data enabled us to clarify the bacterial stress resistance mechanisms.

Project description:Horizontally acquired genetic elements (HGEs) plays a major for determination of virulence, antimicrobial resistance, adaptation and evolution in pathogenic bacteria. Conserved integrative mobile genetic elements (MGEs) of Vibrio cholerae contribute in the disease development, antimicrobial resistance and metabolic functions. To understand the dynamics of integrative MGEs and cross talk between MGEs and core genome, engineered genome of V. cholerae was monitored in the presence and absence of horizontally acquired genetic elements. Deletion of more than 250 revealed that CTX contributes to the essentiality of SOS response master regulator LexA in V. cholerae. Also, he core genome encoded RecA helps CTX to bypass the host immunity and replicate in the host cell in the presence of similar prophage in the host chromosome. Finally, our multiomics data reveal importance of MGEs in modulating the level of cellular proteome and metabolome in V. cholerae. This study for the first time engineered the genome of V. cholerae strains to eliminate all the GIs, ICE and prophages from their genome and revealed new interactions between core and acquired genomes. The engineered strain could be a potential candidate for understanding evolution of cholera pathogen and development of therapeutics.
