Project description:Integrons are genetic elements that enable bacterial adaptation by collecting new genes encoded in integron cassettes (ICs) to create a reservoir of adaptive functions. These cassettes typically lack their own promoters and rely on the integron platform for their expression. Integrons, well-known for spreading antibiotic resistance genes in clinically relevant Gram-negative species, include Mobile Integrons (MIs), that transport over 170 resistance genes. In contrast, Sedentary Chromosomal Integrons (SCIs), ubiquitous in Vibrio species, are primarily found within bacterial chromosomes. However, their functions are not related to antimicrobial resistance and are largely unexplored. SCIs, typified by the Superintegron (SI) in Vibrio cholerae, represent ancient and highly variable regions in bacterial genomes. The SI is extensive, housing 179 integron cassettes, mostly with unknown functions. Although 19 cassettes encode toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, which stabilize the array, the intricacies of the SI are challenging to study due to its size and unique integrase. To investigate the SI's impact on V. cholerae, we developed the SeqDelTA approach, enabling the gradual deletion of the SI. This deletion facilitates the use of standard genetic tools without SI interference. Our in-depth analysis of the resulting ∆SI strain, covering various aspects, demonstrated no significant alterations in V. cholerae's physiology. Despite their extended coevolution, SCIs appear to be genetically isolated from the host genome.

Project description:This work presents the complete nucleotide sequences of p0801-IMP from Klebsiella pneumoniae, p7121-IMP from K. oxytoca, and p17285-IMP from Citrobacter freundii, which are recovered from three different cases of nosocomial infection. These three plasmids represent the first fully sequenced blaIMP-carrying IncN2 plasmids. Further comparative genomics analysis of all the five integron-carrying IncN2 plasmids p0801-IMP, p7121-IMP, p17285-IMP, pJIE137, and p34983-59.134kb indicates that they possess conserved IncN2 backbones with limited genetic variations with respect to gene content and organization. Four class 1 integrons (blaIMP-1-carrying In1223 in p0801-IMP/p7121-IMP, blaIMP-8-carrying In655 in p17285-IMP, In27 in pJIE137, and In1130 in p34983-59.134kb), two insertion sequence-based transposition units (ISEcp1-orfRA1-14 in p17285-IMP, and ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-62-Δorf477-orfRA1-14 in pJIE137), and a novel Tn1696-related transposon Tn6325 carrying In1130 in p34983-59.134kb are indentified in the plasmid accessory regions. In1223 and In655 represent ancestral Tn402-associated integrons, while In27 and In1130 belong to complex class 1 integrons. The relatively small IncN2 backbones are able to integrate different mobile elements which carry various resistance markers, promoting the accumulation and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes among enterobacterial species.

Project description:Equine lameller tissues were collected to compare normal vs laminitis generated differences in transcriptom level. Experiment Overall Design: Three Laminitis generated vs three normal Equine hoof tissues were subjected to comparison analysis in transcriptom level by using the Affymetrix Bovine GeneChip. Experiment Overall Design: The reasons for Bovine chip were; 1) Genetic similarity to Equine. Experiment Overall Design: 2) More transcriptom was search at that Affymetrix platform comparing the Equine GeneChip at the time of the study.

Project description:Standardized muscular biopsies of the dorsal compartment of the gluteus medius muscle were performed in 7 horses suffering from equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM) and 6 sound Norman Cob horses . Gene expression analysis was performed using an equine oligonucleotide microarray which included 384 equine gene probes of the nuclear genome and all the mitochondrial genes. All the samples of PSSM muscles were hybridized against the reference control muscles. This reference was made by pooling together all the mRNA extracted after in vitro transcription from the 6 control muscles of the sound horses. Briefly, the hybridization protocol was adapted from Le Brigand et al. (2006). An open-access long oligonucleotide microarray resource for analysis of the human and mouse transcriptomes. Nucleic Acids Res. 2006 Jul 19;34(12).
