Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) responds to environmental changes in a manner that results in an adaptive regulation of the transcriptome. Global transcriptional regulators are able to integrate important extracellular and intracellular information and are responsible for modulation of the transcriptional network. The roles of several global transcriptional regulators in adaptation and virulence gene expression have been described. In this study we used microarray to investigate the regulatory roles of CodY and CovRS played in Streptococcus pyogenes. keywords: genetic modification

In this study we used microarray to investigate the regulatory roles of CodY and CovRS played in Streptococcus pyogenes. keywords: genetic modification Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 wild-type cells, ΔcodY, ΔcovRS and ΔcodYcovRS strains were grown in C-medium until mid-exponential phase or early-stationary phase. The transcriptional profile of the whole genome was examined with microarray.
Project description:Whole genone expression profile comparing wild-type NZ131 to serR deletion mutant, grown in C-medium Mutants and interpretation are described further in the manuscript to be submitted: LaSarre and Federle, 2010. Title: Regulation and Consequence of Serine Catabolism in Streptococcus pyogenes. A two chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 and three separate mutant cultures of Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 seR-, pooled following RNA extraction
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:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus, GAS) is an important human pathogen that causes a variety of infectious diseases and sequelae. Recent studies showed virulence factor expression was controlled at multiple levels, including the post-transcriptional regulation. In this study, we examined the global half-lives of S. pyogenes mRNAs and explored the role RNase Y played in mRNA metabolism with microarray analysis. key word: genetic modification
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Streptococcus pyogenes MGAS5005 cells comparing control untreated GAS cells with GAS cells exposed to 4uM heme for 1.5 h
Project description:The Antibiotic Resistant Sepsis Pathogens Framework Initiative aims to develop a framework dataset of 5 sepsis pathogens (5 strains each) using an integrated application of genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic technologies. The pathogens included in this initiative are: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae complex, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. This submission pertains to Streptococcus pyogenes strains 5448, SP444, HKU419, PS003 and PS006.
Project description:The speB gene of Streptococcus pyogenes has a long 5' UTR with unknown functions. Preliminary studies showed that the partial mutation of this region led to altered expression patterns of the speB gene and ropB, its upstream gene. In this study, we used microarray to examine the effect of speB 5' UTR mutation on the S. pyogenes transcriptome.
