Project description:In Streptococcus pyogenes, mutation of GidA results in avirulence despite the same growth rate as the wild type. To understand the basis of this effect, global transcription profiling was conducted. Keywords: Wild type vs. GidA mutant Streptococcus pyogenes
Project description:Transcriptional profile of Streptococcus pyogenes stk mutant strain JRS2516 vs its wild type parent strain MGAS2221 The RNA prepared from triplicate cultures for the wild type and the stk mutant strains was each labeled with Cy3 and hybridized to duplicate arrays. Reference RNA consisted of pooled RNA for the wild type and stk mutant, labeled with Cy5.

Project description:Rgg-dependent transcriptional regulation in SF370 Streptococcus pyogenes strain was analyzed during post-exponential phase of growth Keywords: rgg mutant Microarray analysis was performed using RNA samples isolated from both wild-type SF370 and SF370 rgg mutant strains during post-exponential phase of growth
Project description:Purpose: RNase Y is a major enzyme responsible for mRNA degradation in Streptococcus pyogenes. The goals of this study are to understand whether RNase Y plays a role in operon transcription of S. pyogenes NZ131 by using RNA-seq analysis. Methods: S. pyogenes mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) and RNase Y mutant (∆rny) were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2000. The sequence reads were aligned to the S. pyogenes genome using Bowtie2. The aligned files were sorted to BAM format and indexed using Samtools. The read depth of each base was derived from BAM files using BEDtools. Operon organization of S. pyogenes WT and ∆rny strains were predicted based on base reads. Results: A total of 11 to 12 billion reads were obtained from each sample. More than 99% of these reads were mapped to the S. pyogenes genome. Predictions of operon organization using WT and ∆rny samples showed little difference between the two strains. Conclusions: Our result shows that the mutation of RNase Y does not affect the operon organization of S. pyogenes NZ131.
