Project description:We sequenced mRNA transcripts from three isogenic M3 serotype GAS strains, parental (MGAS10870), complement (10870::rocAM1), and deletion (10870ΔrocA). There were no significant changes between the parental and revertant strain. Comparison of the parental and complemented strain revealed several virulence factors were up-regulated in the parental strain where RocA function was diminished. We concluded that RocA, through direct or indirect mechanisms, is able to control numerous virulence genes and this lack of RocA regulation increases expression of virulence factors, which contributes to the hyper-virulent state of serotype M3 GAS.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA transcripts from three isogenic M3 serotype GAS strains, parental (MGAS10870), complement (10870::rocAM1), and deletion (10870?rocA). There were no significant changes between the parental and revertant strain. Comparison of the parental and complemented strain revealed several virulence factors were up-regulated in the parental strain where RocA function was diminished. We concluded that RocA, through direct or indirect mechanisms, is able to control numerous virulence genes and this lack of RocA regulation increases expression of virulence factors, which contributes to the hyper-virulent state of serotype M3 GAS. GAS strains were grown to mid-exponential phase, total RNA isolated, rRNA depleted, cDNA libraries synthesized, and libraries analyzed using Illumina MiSeq and CLC Genomics Workbench version 7.5.1 RNA-seq software.
Project description:The human-derived serotype Ⅴ ST1 GBS strains NNA038 and NNA048 was isolated from a amniotic fluid of full-term pregnant woman who suffered from premature rupture of membrane in China.Serotype Ia ST7 GBS strain YM001 is an attenuated strain ,its parent strain HN016 was isolated from an outbreak epidemical disease in tilapia from China.HN016_KO_D2 is a knockout strain from Serotype Ia ST7 GBS strain HN016.
