Project description:S. coelicolor M145 and S. coelicolor ∆argR were grown in MG medium and samples from 3 biological replicates were taken at 32, 42, 49, 56 and 66 hours.
Project description:To identify unique gene expression in cAMP supplemented Streptomyces coelicolor M145 strain. The genes with different gene expression might be key genes to understand the effects of cAMP supplementation on the transcriptome of Streptomyces coelicolor M145.
Project description:This work was carried out to elucidate the proteins that are regulated by the two-component system CutRS in Streptomyces coelicolor M145 and how this response changes in the presence of glucose. A comparison of the whole cell proteomes of Streptomyces coelicolor M145 WT and Streptomyces coelicolor M145 ∆cutRS on both DNA (no glucose) and DNAD (with glucose) was made.
Project description:Gene expression analysis of S. coelicolor M145 and the delta_pfkA2 mutant. RNA samples were taken in the early exponential phase during growth in fermentors in defined mineral medium. Keywords: cell type, gene expression, genetic modification
Project description:Streptomyces coelicolor is a model organism for the study of Streptomyces, a genus of Gram-positive bacteria that undergoes a complex life cycle and produces an enormous repertoire of bioactive metabolites and extracellular enzymes. This study investigated the production and characterization of membrane vesicles (MVs) in liquid cultures of S. coelicolor M145 from a structural and biochemical point of view using microscopic, physical and -omics analyzes. Two main populations of MVs, F3 and F4 MVs, with different size and cargo were isolated and purified. S. coelicolor MV cargo is complex and contains many “messages” such as proteins and metabolites. A total of 166 proteins involved in cell metabolism and differentiation, molecular processing and transport was identified in MVs. In particular, a subset of these proteins was protected from the degradation after proteinase K treatment, indicating their localization inside the vesicles. Vesicle proteome includes many stress response proteins which also play an important role in S. coelicolor morpho- physiological differentiation. Moreover, MVs packaged with an array of metabolites such as antibiotics, vitamins, amino acids and components of carbon metabolism. The analysis of S. coelicolor MV cargo will provide informations to elucidate their biogenesis and functions
Project description:Based on the chromosomal locations of genes inferred from sequence analysis to be essential for the viability of Streptomyces coelicolor, Bentley et al. (Bentley et al., 2002) have suggested that a 4.9 Mb central region of the linear S. coelicolor chromosome encodes core functions expressed during vegetative growth of this species, while 1.5 Mb and 2.3 Mb chromosomal DNA segments lateral to this core encode auxiliary functions proposed to be required under other growth conditions. To examine this hypothesis and experimentally identify genes expressed during vegetative growth of S. coelicolor cultures, we used DNA microarrays to measure globally the abundance of S. coelicolor transcripts in cells growing in liquid medium. We found that, overall, genes corresponding to the 4.9 Mb core region of the S. coelicolor M145 chromosome were more highly expressed under non-limiting growth conditions than genes in the 1.5 Mb left and 2.3 Mb right chromosome arms, supporting the notion of the core versus auxiliary organization of genes on the chromosome. To examine how this chromosomal distribution of transcripts changes under other growth conditions, we also measured gene expression changes during stationary phase and several stress conditions. During stationary phase, the composition of S. coelicolor transcripts appears to shift from large quantities of growth-related transcripts encoded in the core region to those of less characterized genes, which may be essential for differentiation and other physiological responses, encoded throughout the chromosome. After temperature and osmotic upshifts, we found that S. coelicolor transiently induces a set of several hundred genes located throughout the chromosome, which may function in response mechanisms common to the two stress conditions.
