Project description:Deinococcus indicus strain DR1, a red-pigmented, arsenic- and radiation-resistant bacterium, was isolated from a water sample of the Dadri wetland, Uttar Pradesh, India. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of this strain, which may provide useful information regarding the genes and pathways involved in heavy-metal bioremediation.

Project description:Deinococcus radiodurans exhibits growth medium-dependent morphological variation in cell shape, but there is no evidence whether this phenomenon is observed in other members of the Deinococcaceae family. In this study, we isolated a red-pigmented, aerobic, Deinococcus indicus strain DR1 from Dadri wetland, India. This D. indicus strain exhibited cell-morphology transition from rod-shaped cells to multi-cell chains in a growth-medium-dependent fashion. In response to addition of 1% casamino acids in the minimal growth medium, rod-shaped cells formed multi-cell chains. Addition of all 20 amino acids to the minimal medium was able to recapitulate the phenotype. Specifically, a combination of L-methionine, L-lysine, L-aspartate, and L-threonine caused morphological alterations. The transition from rod shape to multi-cell chains is due to delay in daughter cell separation after cell division. Minimal medium supplemented with L-ornithine alone was able to cause cell morphology changes. Furthermore, a comparative UPLC analysis of PG fragments isolated from D. indicus cells propagated in different growth media revealed alterations in the PG composition. An increase in the overall cross-linkage of PG was observed in muropeptides from nutrient-rich TSB and NB media versus PYE medium. Overall our study highlights that environmental conditions influence PG composition and cell morphology in D. indicus.

Project description:Deinococcus indicus DR1 is a novel Gram-negative bacterium, isolated from the Dadri wetlands in Uttar Pradesh, India. In addition to being radiation-resistant, the rod-shaped, red-pigmented organism shows extraordinary resistance to arsenic. The proteins of the corresponding ars gene cluster involved in arsenic extrusion in D. indicus DR1 have not yet been characterized. Additionally, how these proteins regulate each other providing arsenic resistance is still unclear. Here, we present a computational model of the operonic structure and the corresponding characterization of the six proteins of the ars gene cluster in D. indicus DR1. Additionally, we show the expression of the genes in the presence of arsenic using qRT-PCR. The ars gene cluster consists of two transcriptional regulators (ArsR1, ArsR2), two arsenate reductases (ArsC2, ArsC3), one metallophosphatase family protein (MPase), and a transmembrane arsenite efflux pump (ArsB). The transcriptional regulators are trans-acting repressors, and the reductases reduce arsenate (As5+) ions to arsenite (As3+) ions for favourable extrusion. The proteins modelled using RoseTTAFold, and their conformationally stable coordinates obtained after MD simulation indicate their various functional roles with respect to arsenic. Excluding ArsB, all the proteins belong to the α + β class of proteins. ArsB, being a membrane protein, is fully α-helical, with 12 transmembrane helices. The results show the degree of similarity or divergence of the mechanism utilized by these proteins of ars gene cluster in D. indicus DR1 to confer high levels of arsenic tolerance. This structural characterization study of the ars genes will enable new and deeper insights of arsenic tolerance.

Project description:Background: The Malnad Gidda are unique dwarf Bos indicus cattle native to heavy rainfall Malnad and coastal areas of Karnataka in India. These cattle are highly adapted to harsh climatic conditions and are more resistant to Foot and Mouth disease as compared to other breeds of B.indicus. Since the first genome reference became available from B.taurus Hereford breed, only a few other breeds have been genotyped using high-throughput platforms. Also despite the known reports on high diversity within indicine breeds as compared to taurine breeds, only one draft genome of Nellore and horn transcriptome of Kankrej breed were sequenced at base level resolution. Because of the special characteristics Malnad Gidda possess, it becomes the choice of breed among many indicine cows to study at molecular level and genotyping. Results: Sequencing mRNA from the PBMCs isolated from blood of one selected Malnad Gidda bull resulted in generation of 55 million paired-end reads of 100bp length. Raw sequencing data is processed to trim the adaptor and low quality bases, and are aligned against the whole genome and transcript assemblies of Bos taurus UMD 3.1 and Bos indicus (Nellore breed) respectively. About 72% of the sequenced reads from our study could be mapped against the B.taurus genome where as only 41% of reads could be mapped against the Bos indicus transcript assembly. Transcript assembly from the alignment carried out against the annotated B.taurus UMD 3.1 genome resulted in identification of ~10,000 genes with significant expression (FPKM>1). In a similar analysis against the B.indicus Kankrej assembled transcripts we could identify only ~6,000 transcripts. From the variant analysis of the sequencing data we found ~10,000 SNPs in coding regions among which ~9,000 are novel and ~6,400 are amino acid changing. Conclusions: For the first time we have genotyped and explored the transcriptome of B.indicus Malnad Gidda breed. A comparative analysis of mapping the RNA-Seq data against the available reference genome and transcript sequences is demonstrated. An enhanced utility of transcript sequencing could be achieved by improving or completing the sequence assembly of any B.indicus breed to better characterize the indicine breeds for productivity features and selective breeding.

Project description:BackgroundN-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidases are cell wall modifying enzymes that cleave the amide bond between the sugar residues and stem peptide in peptidoglycan. Amidases play a vital role in septal cell wall cleavage and help separate daughter cells during cell division. Most amidases are zinc metalloenzymes, and E. coli cells lacking amidases grow as chains with daughter cells attached to each other. In this study, we have characterized two amidase enzymes from Deinococcus indicus DR1. D. indicus DR1 is known for its high arsenic tolerance and unique cell envelope. However, details of their cell wall biogenesis remain largely unexplored.ResultsWe have characterized two amidases Ami1Di and Ami2Di from D. indicus DR1. Both Ami1Di and Ami2Di suppress cell separation defects in E. coli amidase mutants, suggesting that these enzymes are able to cleave septal cell wall. Ami1Di and Ami2Di proteins possess the Amidase_3 catalytic domain with conserved -GHGG- motif and Zn2+ binding sites. Zn2+- binding in Ami1Di is crucial for amidase activity. AlphaFold2 structures of both Ami1Di and Ami2Di were predicted, and Ami1Di was a closer homolog to AmiA of E. coli.ConclusionOur results indicate that Ami1Di and Ami2Di enzymes can cleave peptidoglycan, and structural prediction studies revealed insights into the activity and regulation of these enzymes in D. indicus DR1.
