Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Metabolic reconstructions (MRs) are common
denominators in systems biology and represent biochemical,
genetic, and genomic (BiGG) knowledge-bases for target
organisms by capturing currently available information in a
consistent, structured manner. Salmonella enterica subspecies I
serovar Typhimurium is a human pathogen, causes various
diseases and its increasing antibiotic resistance poses a
public health problem. RESULTS: Here, we describe a
community-driven effort, in which more than 20 experts in S.
Typhimurium biology and systems biology collaborated to
reconcile and expand the S. Typhimurium BiGG knowledge-base.
The consensus MR was obtained starting from two independently
developed MRs for S. Typhimurium. Key results of this
reconstruction jamboree include i) development and
implementation of a community-based workflow for MR annotation
and reconciliation; ii) incorporation of thermodynamic
information; and iii) use of the consensus MR to identify
potential multi-target drug therapy approaches. CONCLUSION:
Taken together, with the growing number of parallel MRs a
structured, community-driven approach will be necessary to
maximize quality while increasing adoption of MRs in
experimental design and interpretation.

Project description:We describe how searching chimeric spectra with post-processing including MS²PIP-derived features aids the identification of hypothetical and unannotated proteins. We apply our workflow to the well-characterized human bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and validate novel protein-coding regions with by ribo-seq translation evidence. We further elaborate how riboproteogenomics is instrumental for reannotating ORFs and the discovery of novel ORFs across bacteria.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium UK1 delta-iacP mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. IacP is resoponsible for the secretion of virulence effector proteins via the type III secretion system, thereby contributing the virulence of S. Typhimurium. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Kim et al. 2011. Role of Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1 Protein IacP in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Pathogenesis. Infection and Immunity 79(4):1440-1450 (PMID 21263021).
Project description:Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium produces a variety of fimbrial appendages, among which the type 1 fimbriae is the most common type. In vitro static broth culture favors S. Typhimurium to produce type 1 fimbriae, while solid agar inhibits its expression. A transposon inserted in the stbC gene, which would encode an usher protein for Stb fimbriae of a non-flagellar S. Typhimurium LB5010 strain, conferred it to agglutinate yeast cells on both cultures, and was mannose-sensitive. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that the expression of the fimbrial major subunit gene fimA, and fimZ, a positive regulator gene of fimA, were both increased in the stbC mutant strain when grown on LB agar; fimW, a repressor gene of fimA, exhibited lower expression. Flagella were observed in the stbC mutant and this phenotype was correlated with the motile phenotype detected by MSRV agar medium and reaction with flagella antiserum. Microarray data and RT-PCR also indicated that the expression of three genes, motA, motB, and cheM, was enhanced in the stbC mutant. The S. Typhimurium stbC mutant was resistant to a variety of antibiotics, consistent with the finding that expression of yhcQ and ramA, two genes involved in multidrug resistance, was enhanced. A complementation test revealed that transforming a recombinant plasmid possessing the coding sequence of the stbC gene restored the mannose-sensitive agglutination phenotype to the stbC mutant much as that in the parental S. Typhimurium LB5010 strain, indicating the possibility of an interplay of different fimbrial systems in coordinating their expression.
