Project description:Nowadays proteomics is the one of the major instruments for editing and correct decryption of genomic information. Genomic correction of socially significant pathogens, like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is by far the most relevant. We conducted proteogenomic analysis of W-148 strain, which belong to the Beijing B0/W148 cluster. Strains of this cluster possess unique pathogenic properties and have a unique genome organization. Taking into account a high similarity of cluster strains at the genomic level we analysed MS/MS datasets obtained for 63 clinical isolates of Beijing B0/W148. Based on H37Rv and W-148 annotations we identified 2,546 proteins, representing more than 60 % of total proteome. A set of peptides (n=404), specific for W-148 was found in comparison with H37Rv. Start sites for 32 genes were corrected based on combination of LC-MS/MS proteomic data with genomic six frame translation. Additionally, presence of peptides for 10 pseudogenes has been confirmed. Thus, the data obtained by us undoubtedly shows the need for conducting genome annotation based on proteomic data. Corrected during the study W-148 genome annotation will allow to use it in studies on Beijing B0/W148 cluster strains.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains comparing control DMSO treated strains with Linezolid treated strains. Goal was to determine the effects of Linezolid against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains comparing control DMSO treated strains with Lupulone treated strains. Goal was to determine the effects of Lupulone against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains.
Project description:Transcriptional profile comparison among Beijing and non-Beijing M. tuberculosis isolates. Three M. tuberculosis strains were compared. The laboratory reference strain, H37Rv, belongs to the Euro-American or lineage 4. Two clinical isolates of the East-Asian or lineage 2: 98_1663 is a pre-Beijing or Group 1 isolate, and HN878 is a Beijing or Group 5 isolate. Three replicates were performed for each comparison using two different biological samples.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of SirR and manganese regulated expression of genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains comparing high manganese vs. low manganese in Rv (wild type Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and ST70 (mntR mutant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains comparing control DMSO treated strains with Lupulone treated strains. Goal was to determine the effects of Lupulone against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains. Two-condition experiment,control DMSO treated strains vs. Lupulone treated strains. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates, 2 Lupulone replicates.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains comparing control DMSO treated strains with Linezolid treated strains. Goal was to determine the effects of Linezolid against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains. Two-condition experiment,control DMSO treated strains vs. Linezolid treated strains. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates, 2 Linezolid replicates.
Project description:Host-pathogen interactions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection still remain poorly understood. We investigated the host immune response to different reference Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in THP-1 cells. Major differences in the gene expression profiles were identified in response to infection with these strains. These findings shed new insights into the dynamic variation in tuberculosis immune response and pathogenesis. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST microarrays to investigate host differential gene expression in response to different Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains.
