Project description:Bacterial transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression to adapt to changing environments; when combined, the TF’s regulatory actions comprise transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs). The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay is the major contemporary method for mapping in vivo protein-DNA interactions in the genome. It enables the genome-wide study of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) and gene regulation. Here, we present the genome-wide binding for major TFs in E. coli K-12 MG1655.

Project description:Since their discovery, archaea have not only proven a fascinating domain in their own right, but also helped us understand the evolution and function of molecular components they share with bacteria or eukaryotes. Archaeal histones are homologous to their eukaryotic counterparts, but operate in a less constrained bacterial-like cellular environment and their role in transcription and genome function remains obscure. In order to understand how archaeal histones affect transcriptional processes, we induced expression of the two histones from the archaeon Methanothermus fervidus in a naive bacterial system (E. coli) that has not evolved to integrate this kind of proteins. We show, using a series of MNase digestion experiments, that these histones bind the bacterial genome and wrap DNA in vivo in a pattern consistent with a previously proposed multimerisation model, in a similar pattern observed natively. We correlate genome-wide occupancy maps and gene expression profiles in different phases of growth to show that – although expression of archaeal histones triggers morphological changes in E. coli – there appears to only be an indirect effect on transcription.

Project description:In Escherichia coli crosstalk between DNA supercoiling, nucleoid-associated proteins and major RNA polymerase σ initiation factors regulates growth phase-dependent gene transcription. We show that the highly conserved spatial ordering of relevant genes along the chromosomal replichores largely corresponds both to their temporal expression patterns during growth and to an inferred gradient of DNA superhelical density from the origin to the terminus. Genes implicated in similar functions are related mainly in trans across the chromosomal replichores, whereas DNA-binding transcriptional regulators interact predominantly with targets in cis along the replichores. We also demonstrate that macrodomains (the individual structural partitions of the chromosome) are regulated differently. We infer that spatial and temporal variation of DNA superhelicity during the growth cycle coordinates oxygen and nutrient availability with global chromosome structure, thus providing a mechanistic insight into how the organization of a complete bacterial chromosome encodes a spatiotemporal program integrating DNA replication and global gene expression.

Project description:We mapped the genome-wide binding of sigma 70 in E. coli K-12 MG1655 and an hns mutant that is otherwise isogenic using ChIP coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq). We show that intragenic binding of sigma 70 is increased in the hns mutant.

Project description:Background: Based on 32 Escherichia coli and Shigella genome sequences, we have developed an E. coli pan-genome microarray. Publicly available genomes were annotated in a consistent manor to define all currently known genes potentially present in the species. The chip design was evaluated by hybridization of DNA from two sequenced E. coli strains, K-12 MG1655 (a commensal) and O157:H7 EDL933 (an enterotoxigenic E. coli). A dual channel and single channel analysis approach was compared for the comparative genomic hybridization experiments. Moreover, the microarray was used to characterize four unsequenced probiotic E. coli strains, currently marketed for beneficial effects on the human gut flora. Results: Based on the genomes included in this study, we were able to group together 2,041 genes that were present in all 32 genomes. Furthermore, we predict that the size of the E. coli core genome will approach ~1,560 essential genes, considerably less than previous estimates. Although any individual E. coli genome contains between 4,000 and 5,000 genes, we identified more than twice as many (11,872) distinct gene groups in the total gene pool (“pan-genome”) examined for microarray design. Benchmarking of the design based on sequenced control strain samples demonstrated a high sensitivity and relatively low false positive rate. Moreover, the array was highly sufficient to investigate the gene content of apathogenic isolates, despite the strong bias towards pathogenic E. coli strains that have been sequenced so far. Our analysis of four probiotic E. coli strains demonstrate that they share a gene pool very similar to the E. coli K-12 strains but also show significant similarity with enteropathogenic strains. Nonetheless, virulence genes were largely absent. Strain-specific genes found in probiotic E. coli but absent in E. coli K12 were most frequently phage-related genes, transposases and other genes related to mobile DNA, and metabolic enzymes or factors that may offer colonization fitness, which together with their asymptomatic nature may explain their nature. Conclusion: This high-density microarray provides an excellent tool for characterizing either DNA content or gene expression from unknown E. coli strains. Keywords: Comparative genomic hybridizations

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation was combined with high-density tiling array (ChIP-chip) and gene expression microarray to reveal the adaptive responses of Escherichia coli to phosphate starvation. The first sketch of the genome-wide distribution of PhoB binding profile was unveiled and 43 regions were identified as the PhoB binding regions. The presence of a significant common motif in these binding regions allowed us to reconstruct the PhoB binding pattern. By comparing the ChIP-chip and microarray datasets, we were also able to identify genes directly or indirectly affected through PhoB regulation. Nineteen out of the 287 differentially expressed genes in the presence and absence of PhoB activity were considered as the genes directly regulated by PhoB. The adaptive responses affected through PhoB regulation are discussed and these responses involve in several important biological functions including transcriptional regulation, transportation, membrane component arrangement, sigma factor modulation and DNA replication inhibition.
