Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive human pathogen causing a variety of human diseases in both hospital and community settings. This bacterium is so closely associated with prophages that it is rare to find S. aureus isolates without prophages. Two phages are known to be important for staphylococcal virulence: the beta-hemolysin (hlb) converting phage and the Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) converting phage. The hlb-converting phage is found in more than 90% of clinical isolates of S. aureus. This phage produces exotoxins and immune modulatory molecules, which inhibit human innate immune responses. The PVL-converting phage produces the two-component exotoxin PVL, which can kill human leucocytes. This phage is wide-spread among community-associated methicillin resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA). It also shows strong association with soft tissue infections and necrotizing pneumonia. Several lines of evidence suggest that staphylococcal prophages increase bacterial virulence not only by providing virulence factors but also by altering bacterial gene expression: 1) Transposon insertion into prophage regulatory genes, but not into the genes of virulence factors, reduced S. aureus killing of Caenorhabditis elegans.; 2) Although the toxins and immune modulatory molecules encoded by the hlb- converting phages do not function in the murine system, deletion of ϕNM3, the hlb-converting phage in S. aureus Newman, reduced staphylococcal virulence in the murine abscess formation model. 3) In a preliminary microarray experiment, prophages in S. aureus Newman altered the expression of more than 300 genes. In this research proposal, using microarray and high-throughput quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) technologies, we will identify the effects of the two important staphylococcal phages on the gene expression of S. aureus in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. This project is intended to be completed within one year. All the data – microarray, qRT-PCR and all the primer sequences- will be made available to public 6 month after completion. Data from this project will help us to understand the role of prophages in the S. aureus pathogenesis and can lead to development of a strategy to interfere with the pathogenesis process.

Project description:We analyzed RNA-Seq data of two Staphylococcus aureus strains, Newman and SH1000, infected by Kayvirus phage K. Staphylococcus virus K is used in the phage therapy, its genome is 148 kb long consisting of dsDNA with long terminal repeats, and encodes 233 ORFs and 4 tRNAs. The sampling times 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes after infection were chosen based on the growth characteristics of the phage K at the two S. aureus strains. From the RNA-Seq data we determined transcriptional profile of the phage K and its hosts, which allowed us to identify differentially expressed genes, ncRNAs, and promotor and terminator sites. Transcription of the phage K genes starts immediately after the infection of bacterial cells and we found a gradual take-over by phage K transcripts in the infected cells. The temporal transcriptional profile of phage K was similar in both strains and the relative expression of phage K genes shows three distinct transcript types – early, middle, and late based on the time they reach maximum expression. The bacterial response to phage K infection is similar to the general stress response. It includes the upregulation of nucleotide, amino acid and energy synthesis and transporter genes and the downregulation of transcription factors. The expression of particular virulence genes involved in adhesion and immune system evasion as well as prophage integrases were marginally affected. This work unveils the versatile nature of phage K infection leading to its broad host range

Project description:To obtain an insight into the in vivo dynamics of RNA polymerase (RNAP) on the B. subtilis genome, we analyzed the distribution of ?A and ? subunits of RNAP and the NusA elongation factor on the genome in exponentially growing cells, using the ChAP (Chromatin Affinity Precipitation)-chip method. In contrast to E. coli RNAP, which often accumulates at the promoter-proximal region, B. subtilis RNAP is evenly distributed from the promoter to the coding sequences in the majority of genes. This finding suggests that B. subtilis RNAP recruited to the promoter promptly translocates away from the promoter to form the elongation complex. We detected RNAP accumulation in the promoter-proximal regions of some genes, most of which are attributed to transcription attenuation systems in the leader region. Our findings suggest that the differences in RNAP behavior during initiation and early elongation steps between E. coli and B. subtilis result in distinct strategies for post-initiation control of transcription. The E. coli mechanism involves trapping at the promoter and promoter-proximal pausing of RNAP in addition to transcription attenuation, whereas transcription attenuation in leader sequences is mainly employed in B. subtilis. Wild-type strain, Bacillus subtilis 168, was also used for RNA and genomic DNA extraction and analysis - RNA data was divided by genome DNA data to normalize (1) PCR bias and (2) copy number of RNA molecule per genome for multi-copy genome of exponentially growing bacteria.

Project description:The present work describes LC-ESI-MS/MS analyses of tryptic digestion peptides from phages that infect Staphylococcus aureus-causing mastitis, and isolated from dairy products. A total of 1935 non-redundant peptides belonging to 1282 proteins were identified and analyzed. Among them, 80 staphylococcal peptides from phages were confirmed. These peptides belong to proteins such as phage repressors, structural phage proteins, uncharacterized phage proteins and complement inhibitors. Moreover, of the phage origin peptides found, eighteen of them were specific to S. aureus strains. These diagnostic peptides could be useful for the identification and characterization of S. aureus strains that cause mastitis. Furthermore, a study of bacteriophage phylogeny and the relationship among the identified phage peptides and the bacteria they infect was also performed. The results show the specific peptides which are present in closely related phages, and the existing links between bacteriophage phylogeny and the respective Staphylococcus spp. infected.

Project description:A collection of 61 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) of animal and human origin, matched as closely as possible by phage type, antimicrobial resistance pattern and place / time of isolation, and sourced from farms or hospitals in Scotland, were analysed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, phage typing, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), plasmid profiling and DNA microarrays. PFGE of all 61 isolates revealed ten PFGE profiles, which clustered by phage type and antibiotic resistance pattern, with human and animal isolates distributed between PFGE profiles. Analysis of 23 representative S. Typhimurium strains hybridised to a composite Salmonella DNA microarray identified a small number of specific regions of genome variation between different phage types and PFGE profiles. These variable regions of DNA were typically located within prophage-like elements. Simple PCR assays were subsequently designed to discriminate between different isolates from the same geographical region.

Project description:Coordination of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis is crucial for efficient cell proliferation. In Bacillus subtilis the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc protects chromosomes by associating with the chromosome and preventing cell division in its vicinity. Using protein localization, ChAP-on-Chip and bioinformatics, we have identified a consensus Noc-binding DNA sequence (NBS), and show that Noc is targeted to about 70 discrete regions scattered around the chromosome, though absent from a large region around the replication terminus. Purified Noc bound specifically to an NBS in vitro. NBSs inserted near the replication terminus bound Noc-YFP and caused a delay in cell division. An autonomous plasmid carrying an NBS recruited Noc-YFP and conferred a severe Noc-dependent inhibition of cell division. This shows that Noc is a potent inhibitor of division but that its activity is strictly localized by interaction with NBS sites in vivo. We propose that Noc not only serves as a spatial regulator of cell division to protect the nucleoid, but also a timing device with an important role in the co-ordination of chromosome segregation and cell division.

Project description:Lytic bacteriophages able to infect and kill Dickeya spp. can be readily isolated from virtually all Dickeya spp.-containing environments, yet little is known about the selective pressure those viruses exert on their hosts. Here, we identified two spontaneous phage-resistant D. solani IPO 2222 mutants, DsR34 and DsR207, resistant to infection caused by phage vB_Dsol_D5 (ΦD5) that expressed a reduced ability to macerate potato tuber tissues compared to the wild-type, phage-susceptible D. solani IPO 2222 strain. Genome sequencing revealed that mutants had point mutations in two genes encoding: secretion protein HlyD (mutant DsR34) and elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) (mutant DsR207). Both mutations impacted the proteoms of D. solani grown in rich and minimal media. Furthermore, DsR34 and DsR207 were characterized for features essential for their ecological success in a plant environment, including the ability to use various carbon and nitrogen sources, production of plant cell wall degrading enzymes, ability to form biofilms, siderophore production, swimming and swarming motility and virulence in planta. Compared to the wild-type ΦD5-susceptible D. solani strain, mutants DsR34 and DsR207 expressed reduced ability to macerate chicory leaves and to colonize and cause symptoms in growing potato plants. The implications of the ΦD5 resistance on the ecological performance of D. solani are discussed.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), whose outbreak in 2019 led to an ongoing pandemic with devastating consequences for the global economy and human health. According to World Health Organization, COVID-19 has affected more than 481 million people worldwide, with 6 million confirmed deaths. The joint efforts of the scientific community have undoubtedly increased the pace of production of COVID-19 vaccines, but there is still so much uncharted ground to cover regarding the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, replication and host response. This issues can be approached by proteomics with unprecedented capacity paving the way for the development of more efficient strategies for patient care. In this study, we present a deep proteome analysis that has been performed on a series of COVID-19 patients aiming to identify proteins assessing the dynamics of the disease at different age ranges

Project description:Microarray based CGH was conducted over a group of 29 strains of S. Enteritidis spanning different epidemiological periods in Uruguay, plus 6 other S. Enteritidis strains isolated from distant geographical regions. We also included 9 Salmonella enterica strains of other serovars isolated in Uruguay. A S. Enteritidis dispensable genome of 233 chromosomal genes and high extent of variation in virulence plasmid was found. Strains isolated before the epidemic show the highest genomic differences as compared with the PT4 reference strain. Comparison with the gene content of other serovars demonstrate extensive horizontal gene transfer between circulating strains beyond serovar definition. Our results show that the epidemic of S Enteritidis in Uruguay was produced by the introduction of strains closely related to PT4, and corroborate the extensive genetic homogeneity among S. Enteritidis isolates worldwide. Phage SE14 emerges as the only specific region for S. Enteritidis. Genetic differences detected in pre-epidemic strains, mainly associated with the absence of phage SE20, suggest that genetic features encoded in this phage may be related to particular epidemiological behavior.
