Project description:Background Compelling evidence indicates that Shigella species, the etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery, as well as enteroinvasive Escherichia coli, are derived from multiple origins of Escherichia coli and form a single pathovar. To further understand the genome diversity and virulence evolution of Shigella, comparative genomic hybridization microarray analysis was employed to compare the gene content of E. coli K-12 with those of 43 Shigella strains from all serotypes. Results For the 43 strains subjected to CGH microarray analyses, the common backbone of the Shigella genome was estimated to contain more than 1,900 open reading frames, with a mean number of 729 undetectable ORFs. The mosaic distribution of absent regions indicated that insertions and/or deletions have led to the highly diversified genomes of pathogenic strains. Conclusion These results support the hypothesis that by gain and loss of functions, Shigella species became successful human pathogens through convergent evolution from diverse genomic backgrounds. Moreover, we also found many specific differences between different lineages, providing a window into understanding bacterial speciation and taxonomic relationships. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression to identify overlooked sRNAs and sORFs. Background The completion of numerous genome sequences has introduced an era of whole-genome study. However, many real genes, including small RNAs (sRNAs) and small ORFs (sORFs), are missed in genome annotation. In order to improve genome annotation, we sought to identify novel sRNAs and sORFs in Shigella, the principal etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery or shigellosis. Results Firstly, we identified 64 sRNAs in Shigella which is experimentally validated in other bacteria based on sequence conservation. Secondly, among possible approaches to search for sRNAs, we employed computer-based and tiling array based methods, followed by RT-PCR and northern blots. This allowed us to identify 12 sRNAs in Shigella flexneri strain 301. We also find 29 candidate sORFs. Conclusions This investigation provides an updated and comprehensive annotation of the Shigella genome, increases the expected numbers of sORFs and sRNAs with the corresponding impact on future functional genomics and proteomics studies. Our method can be used for the large scale reannotation of sRNAs and sORFs in any microbe whose genome sequence is available.

Project description:In this study, we probed factors that could influence Shigella pathogenesis. We show that in basic pH conditions, deoxycholate-induced biofilm formation and virulence of Shigella are attenuated. We utilized RNA-sequencing to investigate pathways enriched in bacterial cells in biofilms.

Project description:Whole-genome sequencing is an important way to understand the genetic information, gene function, biological characteristics, and living mechanisms of organisms. There is no difficulty to have mega-level genomes sequenced at present. However, we encountered a hard-to-sequence genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PaP1. The shotgun sequencing method failed to dissect this genome. After insisting for 10 years and going over 3 generations of sequencing techniques, we successfully dissected the PaP1 genome with 91,715 bp in length. Single-molecule sequencing revealed that this genome contains lots of modified bases, including 51 N6-methyladenines (m6A) and 152 N4-methylcytosines (m4C). At the same time, further investigations revealed a novel immune mechanism of bacteria, by which the host bacteria can recognize and repel the modified bases containing inserts in large scale, and this led to the failure of the shotgun method in PaP1 genome sequencing. Strategy of resolving this problem is use of non-library dependent sequencing techniques or use of the nfi- mutant of E. coli DH5M-NM-1 as the host bacteria to construct the shotgun library. In conclusion, we unlock the mystery of phage PaP1 genome hard to be sequenced, and discover a new mechanism of bacterial immunity in present study. Methylation profiling of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PaP1 using kinetic data generated by single-molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing on the PacBio RS.

Project description:Trained immunity is a long-term memory of innate immune cells, generating an improved response upon re-infection. Shigella is an important human pathogen and inflammatory paradigm for which there is no effective vaccine. Using zebrafish larvae we demonstrate that after Shigella priming neutrophils are more efficient at bacterial clearance. We observe that Shigella-induced protection is non-specific and long-lasting, and is unlike training by BCG and β-glucan. Analysis of histone ChIP-seq on primed neutrophils revealed that Shigella training deposits the active H3K4me3 mark on promoter regions of 1612 genes, significantly changing the epigenetic landscape of neutrophils towards enhanced microbial recognition and mitochondrial ROS production. Finally, we demonstrate that mitochondrial ROS plays a key role in enhanced antimicrobial activity of trained neutrophils. It is envisioned that signals and mechanisms we discover here can be used in other vertebrates, including humans, to suggest new therapeutic strategies involving neutrophils to control bacterial infection.
