Project description:KaiC is the central cog of the circadian clock in Cyanobacteria. Close homologs of this protein are widespread among bacteria not known to have a circadian physiology. The function, interaction network, and mechanism of action of these KaiC homologs are still largely unknown. Here, we focus on KaiC homologs found in environmental Pseudomonas species. We characterize experimentally the only KaiC homolog present in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and Pseudomonas protegens CHA0. Through phenotypic assays and transcriptomics, we show that KaiC is involved in osmotic and oxidative stress resistance in P. putida and in biofilm production in both P. putida and P. protegens.
Project description:The previously uncharacterized proteins HigB (unannotated) and HigA (PA4674) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 were found to form a type II TA system in which antitoxin HigA masks the RNase activity of toxin HigB through direct binding. To determine the physiological role of HigB/HigA in P. aeruginosa, a whole-transcriptome experiment was performed for the higA antitoxin deletion mutant of the PA14 strain compared to the wild-type PA14 strain. The rationale was that for the strain that lacks the antitoxin, the effect of the toxin could be discerned due to enhanced activity of the toxin. Furthermore, toxin HigB reduces production of the virulence factors pyochelin, pyocyanin, swarming, and biofilm formation.
Project description:To gain insights into the mechanisms by which RC301 compensates for the deficiency in the NPR-1 controlled immune and behavioral responses of strain DA650, we determine the whole-genome expression profile of these two strains upon exposure to Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA14
Project description:To determine what genes play a role in virulence of global regulator cbrA. RNA was isolated from 3 biological repeats of PA14 cbrA deletion mutant and 3 biological repeats of Pseudomonas P14 parent strain grown on BM2 swarming plates. RNA was isolated from the edge of the dendritic clonies of PA14 and the entire colony on the non-swarming cbrA mutant.
