Project description:Quantitative proteomics has matured into an established tool and longitudinal proteomic experiments have begun to emerge. However, no effective, simple-to-use differential expression method for longitudinal proteomics data has been released. Typically, such data is noisy, contains missing values, has only few time points and biological replicates. To address this need, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of several existing differential expression methods for high-throughput longitudinal omics data and introduce a new method, Robust longitudinal Differential Expression (RolDE). To evaluate the longitudinal differential expression methods in a real proteomics study setting, we generated and used an experimental membrane enriched longitudinal proteomics data of Francisella tularensis subspecies novicida (Fn). For evaluation of the methods, differential expression between the null mutant and the wild type strains was investigated,while their growth at different temperatures offered a surrogate for the different time points. Technical replicates of the samples were used to form technical replicate datasets analyzed with the different methods to evaluate the reproducibility of the methods. In addition, the Fn dataset with known protein modifications, was used to explore the evaluated methods ability to detect these proteins and other closely associated pathway proteins expected to be affected.

Project description:Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative bacterium that is highly virulent in humans, causing the disease tularemia. F. novicida is closely related to F. tularensis and exhibits high virulence in mice, but is avirulent in healthy humans. A F. novicida-specific gene cluster (FTN0451-FTN0456) encodes two proteins with diguanylate cyclase (DGC) and phosphodiesterase (PDE) domains that modulate synthesis and degradation of cyclic di-GMP (cdGMP). No DGC or PDE containing proteins are present in the F. tularensis genome. F. novicida strains lacking either the two DGC/PDE genes cdgA and cdgB or the entire gene cluster (KKF457) are defective for biofilm formation. In addition, expression of CdgB or a heterologous DGC in KKF457 stimulated F. novicida biofilms, even in a strain lacking the biofilm regulator QseB. Genetic evidence suggests that CdgA is predominantly a PDE, while CdgB is predominantly a DGC. The F. novicida qseB strain has reduced cdgA and cdgB transcript levels, demonstrating a F. novicida biofilm signaling cascade that controls cdGMP levels. Interestingly, KKF457 with elevated cdGMP levels exhibited a decrease in intramacrophage replication and virulence in mice, as well as increased growth yield and biofilm formation in vitro. Microarray analyses revealed that cdGMP stimulated the transcription of a chitinase (ChiB) known to contribute to biofilm formation. Our results indicate that elevated cdGMP in F. novicida stimulates biofilm formation and inhibits virulence. We suggest that differences in human virulence between F. novicida and F. tularensis may be due in part to the absence of cdGMP signaling in F. tularensis.

A whole genome NibleGen microarray was developed for multiple Francisella subspecies, using shared probes for common genes as well as unique probes for subspecies-specific genes. Included were probes representing the F. novicida U112 genome, with a maximum of 6 probes/gene. RNA was isolated from bacteria and purified as described above. The double-strand cDNA was generated and labeled with Cy3 according to the NimbleGen Gene Expression Array protocol (www.nimblegen.com), using SuperScript Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen) and the DNA Labeling Kit (NimbleGen). Microarray results were analyzed using the ArrayStar software (DNASTAR).

Project description:Although Huntington’s disease (HD) is a late onset neurological condition, studies suggest a developmental contribution to its adult manifestations. Imaging studies in presymptomatic HD gene carriers revealed early alterations in white matter tract with a marked defect in the corpus callosum. This tract is mainly formed by axons projecting from layer II/III neurons. HD leads to microtubule bundling defects in the growth cone, the cellular compartment that drives axonal growth. We performed a mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of growth cones from WT (HdhQ7/Q7) and HD (HdhQ7/Q111) mice to identify proteins involved in HD-induced phenotypes on axonal growth and on the growth cone microtubule cytoskeleton.

Project description:The pathogenic bacterium Francisella tularensis possesses a non-canonical T6SS encoded on the Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI) that is essential for efficient phagosomal escape and access to the cytosolic compartment of infected host cells. Using a global and site-specific phosphoproteomic analysis of F. novicida, we identified a phosphorylated form of IglB, which constitutes with iglA the outer sheath of the T6SS. We show here that substitution of the unique phosphorylated tyrosine (Y139) of IglB to alanine or to the non-phosphorylatable analogue phenylalanine prevents the formation of the sheath-like structures and impairs normal bacterial phagosomal escape. We propose that IglB phosphorylation is involved in the dynamics of assembly-disassembly of the sheath.

Project description:NUT, nuclear protein in testis is the universal fusion partner of BRD4 in the highly aggressive NUT Midline Carcinoma (NMC), but its physiological function was unknown. Here we show that Nut is exclusively expressed in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells, at the time of genome-wide histone hyperacetylation. Inactivation of Nut induces a spermatogenesis arrest at the histone-to-protamine replacement stage, leading to male infertility. Subsequent molecular investigations show that Nut sustains global histone H4 hyperacetylation in post-meiotic cells. Additionally, Nut mediates a p300/CBP-dependent gene expression program and, by enhancing acetylation of H4 at both K5 and K8 sites, provides binding sites for the first bromodomain of Brdt, which drives histone removal. Nut’s major function is therefore to use the ubiquitous HATs p300/CBP to direct a cell-type specific histone hyperacetylation. Its ectopic activity in NMC recreates a forced p300-induced histone hyperacetylation / bromodomain binding loop that normally operates in post-meiotic spermatogenic cells.

Project description:Some microorganisms can respire with extracellular electron acceptors using an extended electron transport chain to the cell surface. These organisms apply flavin molecules as cofactors to facilitate one-electron transfer catalysed by the terminal reductases and as endogenous electron shuttles. In the model organism Shewanella oneidensis, riboflavin production and excretion triggers a specific biofilm formation response that is initiated at a specific threshold concentration, similar to canonical quorum sensing molecules. Riboflavin-mediated messaging is based on the overexpression of the gene encoding the putrescin decarboxylase speC which leads to posttranscriptional overproduction of proteins involved in biofilm formation. We performed a mass spectrometry-based analysis of cells with and without speC overexpression to identify the effect of SpeC overexpression on the cell proteome.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived WT and Hectd3–/– transcrip profiling (RNA-seq) in the absence and presence of F. novicida infection Methods: Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) from WT and Hectd3–/– mice were infected with F .novicida for 8 and 12 hours. mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 80 million sequence reads per sample (around 95% clean reads were successfully mapped) to the mouse genome and identified 22,589 transcripts in the WT and Hectd3–/– BMDMs with or without F. novicida infection. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of HECTD3 deficiency regulated gene expression in response to F. novicida infection generated by RNA-seq technology. Our results demonstrated that the type I IFN signaling induced by F. novicida infection was impaired in the absence of HECTD3.

Project description:Metabolic pathways are now considered as intrinsic virulence attributes of pathogenic bacteria and hence represent potential targets for anti-bacterial strategies. Here, we addressed the role of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and its connections with other metabolic pathways in the pathophysiology of Francisella novicida. We have previously shown that this intracellular bacterial pathogen used gluconeogenesis to metabolize host-derived nutrients in the cytosolic compartment of infected macrophages. Francisella species, which lacks the oxidative branch of the PPP, are equipped with all the genes of the non-oxidative branch (i.e. tktA, tal, rpiA and rpe, encoding transketolase, transaldolase, ribose-phosphate isomerase and ribulose phosphate epimerase, respectively). The involvement of the PPP in the early stage of intracellular life cycle of F. novicida was first demonstrated with the study of PPP inactivation mutants. Indeed, inactivation of tktA, rpiA or rpe genes, severely impaired intramacrophagic multiplication during the first 24–hours. However, time-lapse video microscopy demonstrated that rpiA and rpe mutants were able to resume late intracellular bacterial multiplication. To get further insight into the links between the PPP and other metabolic networks of the bacterium, we next performed a thorough proteo-metabolomic analysis of these mutants. We show that the PPP constitutes a major bacterial metabolic hub with multiple connections with glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle and other metabolic pathways, such as fatty acid degradation and sulfur metabolism. Hence, our study highlights how, by its multiple connections with other metabolic pathways, PPP is instrumental to Francisella pathogenesis and growth in its intracellular niche.
