Project description:Calprotectin (CP) inhibits bacterial viability through extracellular chelation of transition metals. However, how CP influences general metabolism remains largely unexplored. We show here that CP restricts bioavailable Zn and Fe to the pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii, inducing an extensive multi-metal perturbation of cellular physiology. Detailed here are the RNA sequencing files of WT A. baumannii ATCC 17978 grown plus or minus recombinant human calprotectin.
Project description:In the present work we compare the gene expression profile of A. baumannii and a mutant knock-out strain of A. baumannii lacking a small RNA gene 13573 and the corresponding small RNA 13573 over-producing strain. The main objective is to recognize the main pathways in which the small RNA 13573 is involved. Moreover, the same wild type strain was used to infect mice and was further analyzed after the infection with the aim of finding genes differentially expressed in vivo. Three biological replicates have been performed for each comparison. The RNA collection from Acinetobacter baumannii strain over-expresing the small RNA (sample 13573) was compared with this isolated from A. baumannii harboring the empty vector (PETRA sample) while gene expression in the knock-out strain (KO sample) was compared with the wild type strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 (ATCC sample). The RNA from A.baumannii recovered from the infected animals (INF sample) was compared with the wild type (ATCC).
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to elucidate the collateral effects associated with OXA-23 overexpression on the Acinetobacter baumannii global transcriptome. Results: Besides the 99.73-fold increase in blaOXA-23 transcript upon IPTG induction, no other transcripts showed more than a 2-fold change compared to the wildtype control. This suggests that OXA-23 over expression to levels similarly observed in multi drug resistant A. baumannii clinical isolates does not effect the transcriptome.
Project description:Characterization of Nalpha- and Nexpsilon-acetylation in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 using different analytical approaches (isoelectrofocusing, strong cation exchange, immunoprecipitation, CNBr enrichment, and high resolutive and accurate mass spectrometry).
Project description:Transcriptomics by RNA-seq provides unparalleled insight into bacterial gene expression networks, enabling a deeper understanding of the regulation of pathogenicity, mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, metabolism, and other cellular processes. Here we present the transcriptome architecture of Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978, a species emerging as a leading cause of antimicrobial resistant nosocomial infections. Differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) examination of model strain ATCC 17978 in 16 laboratory conditions identified 3731 transcriptional start sites (TSS), and 110 small RNAs, including the first identification of 22 sRNA encoded at the 3′ end of mRNA.
Project description:Different digestion methods and extraction detergents were examined for membrane proteome sample preparation, and label-free quantitative proteome analysis of the polymyxin B induced Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606 membrane proteome were performed based on nano LC-MS/MS.
