Project description:Many non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella such as Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) are the leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis, resulting in millions of infections each year and sometimes death. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is the most common non-typhoidal Salmonella strain isolated from patients around the world and is used as a mouse model to study bacterial pathogenesis and host-microbe interactions. Furthermore, S. Typhimurium is an important pathogen in livestock animals including chickens and cattle. S. Typhimurium utilises a multitude of virulence factors to reach and invade host cells and for its intracellular survival. However, little is known about the mechanism of protein synthesis of these virulence factors at the codon level. Here, we performed RNA-seq and ribosome profiling. Ribosome profiling allows the global mapping of translating ribosomes on the transcriptome and therefore provides direct measure of protein synthesis.

Project description:Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica contains more than 2,600 serovars of which four are of major medical relevance for humans. While the typhoidal serovars (Typhi and Paratyphi A) are human-restricted and cause enteric fever, non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars (Typhimurium and Enteritidis) have a broad host range and predominantly cause gastroenteritis. In this study, we compared the core proteomes of Salmonella Typhi, Paratyphi A, Typhimurium and Enteritidis using contemporary proteomics. Five isolates, covering different geographical origins, and one reference strain per serovar were grown in vitro to the exponential phase. Protein levels of orthologous proteins between serovars were compared and subjected to gene ontology term enrichment and inferred regulatory interactions. Differential expression of the core proteomes of the typhoidal serovars appears mainly related to cell surface components and, for the non-typhoidal serovars, to pathogenicity. Our findings may guide future development of novel diagnostics and vaccines, and understanding of disease progression.
