Project description:Bacteria selectively consume some carbon sources over others through a regulatory mechanism termed catabolite repression. Here, we show that the base pairing RNA Spot 42 plays a broad role in catabolite repression in Escherichia coli by directly repressing genes involved in central and secondary metabolism, redox balancing, and the consumption of diverse non-preferred carbon sources. Many of the genes repressed by Spot 42 are transcriptionally activated by the global regulator CRP. Since CRP represses Spot 42, these regulators participate in a specific regulatory circuit called a multi-output feedforward loop. We found that this loop can reduce leaky expression of target genes in the presence of glucose and can maintain repression of target genes under changing nutrient conditions. Our results suggest that base pairing RNAs in feedforward loops can help shape the steady-state levels and dynamics of gene expression.

MG1655 lacIq cells harboring the control vector pBRplac or the Spot 42-inducible vector pSpot42 were grown in LB to an ABS600 of ~0.4 and treated with 1 mM IPTG. After 7 min, total RNA was isolated using the hot phenol extraction procedure.

Project description:Spot 42 was discovered in Escherichia coli nearly 40 years ago as an abundant, small and unstable RNA. Its biological role remained obscure until it was shown to cause discoordinate expression of the galactose operon (gal operon). Recently Spot 42 has also been implicated in having broader roles in the central and secondary metabolism. Spot 42 is encoded by the spf gene. The gene is ubiquitous in the Vibrionaceae family of gamma-proteobacteria, which includes a number of serious pathogens of humans and animals, including the infamous Vibrio cholerae. One member of this family, Aliivibrio salmonicida, causes cold-water vibriosis in farmed Atlantic salmon. Its genome encodes Spot 42 with 84 % identity to E. coli Spot 42 (spf). We generated a A. salmonicida spf deletion mutant. We then and used microarray and Northern blot analyses to monitor global effects on the transcriptome in order to provide insights into the biological roles of Spot 42 in this bacterium. In the presence of glucose we found a surprisingly large number of ≥2× differentially expressed genes, and several major cellular processes were affected, such as carbohydrate metabolism and transport, motility and chemotaxis, iron homeostasis and quorum sensing. A gene encoding a pirin-like protein (VSAL_I1200) showed an on/off expression pattern in the presence/absence of Spot 42, which suggests that Spot 42 plays a key regulatory role in the central metabolism by regulating the switch between fermentation and respiration. Interestingly, in a global search we discovered a sRNA, named VSsrna24, which is encoded immediately downstream of spf. This new sRNA has an expression pattern opposite to that of Spot 42, and its expression is highly dependent on glucose. Our hypothesis is that this novel sRNA works in concert with Spot 42 to regulate carbohydrate metabolism and uptake.

Project description:We present “centered sites,” a class of microRNA target sites that lacks both perfect seed pairing and 3'-compensatory pairing and instead has 11–12 contiguous Watson–Crick pairs to the center of the microRNA. In elevated Mg2+, centered sites impart mRNA cleavage, but in cells, centered sites repress protein output without consequential Agronaute-catalyzed cleavage. Our study also identified novel extensively paired sites that are cleavage substrates in cultured cells and human brain. This expanded repertoire of cleavage targets and the identification of the centered site type help explain why central regions of many microRNAs are evolutionarily conserved.

Two-condition experiment, wild type cells (control samples) vs. spf mutants grown in A. salmonicida-specific minimal media (ASMM) (stimulated samples). Samples were prepared by culturing the A. salmonicida wild type and a spf deletion mutant strains at 12 °C in ASMM without any added carbon source to OD 600nm 0.4. At this density glucose to 44.4 mM was added. Samples were collected 15 min after stimulation. Biological replicates for each sample: 3 wild type, 3 spf mutant, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.

To study centered sites and identify miRNA cleavage targets, mRNA degradomes were sequenced from human brain and HeLa cells, and smallRNAs were sequenced from human brain and zebrafish embryo at 24 hours post fertilization (hpf). Replicates were combined before the analysis. Fastq files are not available for GSM548638 and GSM548639.

Project description:We report that R273 mutation in the TP53 gene in Colorectal cancer promotes transcriptional signature affecting cytoskeleton dynamics and increasing cell migration. This signature is not a general transcriptional output of mutantp53 as other known hot spot such as R175H mutation could not exerts this signature.
