Project description:Global gene expression analysis of Mycobacterium bovis BCG following Triclosan treatment using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays. Results from this study provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular response of Mycobacterium bovis BCG to Triclosan We conducted three independent microarray experiments (biological replicates) in the absence (control) and the presence (experimental) of triclosan. Fold change was calculated as a ration between the signal averages of three untreated (control) and three triclosan-treated (experimental) cultures for 0, 10 and 60min exposures.

Project description:Thlaspi arvense (Pennycress) is an emerging feedstock for biofuel production because of its high seed oil content enriched in erucic acid. A transcriptomic and a lipidomic study were performed to analyze the dynamics of gene expression, glycerolipid content and acyl-group distribution during seed maturation. Genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis were expressed at the early stages of seed maturation. Genes encoding enzymes of the Kennedy pathway like TaDGAT1, TaLPAT or TaGPAT increased their expression with maturation, coinciding with the increase in TAG species containing 22:1. Positional analysis showed that the most abundant TAG species contained 18:2 at sn-2 position in all maturation stages, suggesting no specificity of the TaLPAT for VLCFAs. TaDGAT2 mRNA was more abundant at the initial maturation stages, coincident with the rapid incorporation of 22:1 to TAG, suggesting a coordination between DGAT enzymes for TAG biosynthesis. Genes encoding TaPDAT1, TaLPCAT or TaPDCT, involved in acyl-editing or PC-derived DAG/TAG biosynthesis showed also higher expression at the early maturation stages, coinciding with a higher proportion of TAG species containing C18 fatty acids. These results suggested a higher contribution of these two pathways at the early stages of seed maturation. LC-MS analysis of the content and acyl-group distribution of DAG and PC pools was compatible with the acyl content in TAG at the different maturation stages. Our data point to a model in which a strong temporal coordination between pathways and isoforms in each pathway, both at the expression and acyl-group incorporation, contributes to high erucic TAG accumulation in Pennycress.

Project description:The innate immune system plays a critical role in host defense against mucosal bacteria. Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of human gastroenteritis that usually resolves spontaneously within several days, suggesting that innate mechanisms are important to control the infection. However, the specific means by which this occurs is not well understood. While diarrheal isolates of C. jejuni usually are susceptible to human serum, we found that a systemic strain of C. jejuni, isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of an infant with meningitis, is relatively more resistant to human serum, the Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein (BPI), an endogenous cationic antimicrobial protein, and the cationic peptide antibiotic polymyxin B. To test the hypothesis that the surface properties of this strain contributed to its ability to withstand these innate host defenses, we constructed isogenic mutants in capsule (kpsM) and lipooligosaccharide (waaF) and complemented these mutants by insertion of the complementation construct in trans into hipO, a chromosomal locus. We found that capsule expression was essential for serum resistance, whereas lipooligosaccharide played no substantial role. In contrast, the lipooligosaccharide mutant showed increased sensitivity to polymyxin B, ?-defensins, cathelicidins, and BPI. These findings suggest that the polysaccharides of C. jejuni strains contribute differently to resistance against host innate immunity; whereby capsule is more important for resisting human complement and lipooligosaccharide is more important for protection against killing mediated by cationic antimicrobial peptides and proteins.

Project description:Comparative analysis of changes in gene and protein expression and fatty acid profiles between Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 ΔfadD ΔaraBAD expressing an acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase from Umbellularia californica (BTE) or a non-functional mutant thioesterase (BTE-H204A) to determine the functional basis for losses in cell viability, membrane integrity, or other stresses and metabolic perturbations that may be present. New hypotheses obtained from the study will assist in metabolic engineering efforts of improved strains exhibiting higher fatty acid yields and productivities.

Project description:Triclocarban (TCC), a formerly used disinfectant, kills bacteria via an unknown mechanism of action. A structural hallmark is its N,N'-diaryl urea motif which is also present in other antibiotics including the recently reported small molecule PK150. Like PK150, TCC exhibited a similar inhibitory effect on menaquinone metabolism via inhibition of the biosynthesis protein MenG, suggesting a contribution of this pathway to its mode of action. However, the activity spectrum (MIC90) of TCC across a broad range of resistant staphylococci and enterococci strains was much narrower compared to PK150. Accordingly, TCC did not cause an overactivation of signal peptidase SpsB, a hallmark of the PK150 scaffold. Furthermore, we were able to rule out inhibition of FabI, a confirmed target of the diaryl ether antibiotic triclosan (TCS). Differences in the target profile of TCC and TCS were further investigated by proteomic analysis, showing complex, but rather distinct changes in the protein expression profile of the bacteria. Additional evidence for an effect on bacterial energy metabolism was provided for TCC. Taken together, this study shows that N,N'-diaryl urea motifs exhibit shared and distinct molecular targets and for the first time highlights MenG as a target of TCC.

Project description:Biomass crops engineered to accumulate energy-dense triacylglycerols (TAG or “vegetable oils”) in their vegetative tissues have emerged as potential feedstocks to meet the growing demand for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Unlike oil palm and oilseed crops, the current commercial sources of TAG, vegetative tissues, such as leaves and stems, only transiently accumulate TAG. In this report, we used grain (Texas430 or TX430) and sugar-accumulating “sweet” (Ramada) genotypes of sorghum, a high-yielding, environmentally resilient biomass crop, to accumulate TAG in leaves and stems. We initially tested several gene combinations for a “push-pull-protect" strategy. The top TAG-yielding constructs contained five oil transgenes for a sorghum Wrinkled1 transcription factor (“push”), a Cuphea viscosissima diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT; "pull"), a modified sesame oleosin (“protect”) and two combinations of specialized Cuphea lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases and medium-chain acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterases. Though intended to generate oils with medium-chain fatty acids, engineered lines accumulated oleic acid-rich oil to amounts of up to 2.5% DW in leaves and 2.0% DW in stems in the greenhouse, 36-fold and 49-fold increases relative to wild-type plants, respectively. Under field conditions, the top-performing event accumulated TAG to amount of up to 5.5% DW in leaves and 3.5% DW in stems, 78-fold and 58-fold increases, respectively, relative to wild-type TX430. Transcriptomic and fluxomic analyses revealed potential bottlenecks for increased TAG accumulation. Overall, our studies highlight the utility of a lab-to-field pipeline coupled with systems biology studies to deliver high vegetative oil sorghum for SAF and renewable diesel production.

Project description:A triclosan-ciprofloxacin cross-resistant mutant strain of Staphylococcus aureus displays an alteration in the expression of several cell membrane structural and functional genes. Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent found in many consumer products. Several studies have demonstrated that triclosan inhibits the bacterial fatty acid biosynthetic enzyme, enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI). Studies have also demonstrated that decreased susceptibility to triclosan correlates with ciprofloxacin resistance in several bacteria. In these bacteria, resistance to both drugs maps to genes encoding multi-drug efflux pumps. The focus of this study was to determine whether triclosan resistance contributes to ciprofloxacin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. Gene expression profiling was performed to compare the gene expression profiles of unexposed and triclosan-exposed wild-type and JJ5 determined that an alteration in global gene expression possibly resulting in a change in cell membrane structure and function is likely responsible for triclosan and ciprofloxacin resistance in JJ5. Keywords: Treatment response
