Project description:We implemented transcriptional analysis methods using cDNA and high-throughput sequencing data to identify HrpL-regulated genes for six strains of Pseudomonas syringae
Project description:Pseudomonas syringae, a Gram-negative plant pathogen, infects more than 50 crops with its type III secretion system (T3SS) and causes severe economic losses around the world. Although the mechanisms of virulence-associated regulators of P. syringae T3SS have been studied for decades, the crosstalk and network underlying these regulators are still elusive. Previously, we have individually studied a group of T3SS regulators, including AefR, HrpS, and RhpRS. In the present study, we found 4 new T3SS regulator genes (envZ, ompR, tsiS and phoQ) via transposon-mediated mutagenesis. Two-component systems EnvZ and TsiS natively regulate T3SS. In order to uncover the crosstalk between 16 virulence-associated regulators, (including AefR, AlgU, CvsR, GacA, HrpL, HrpR, HrpS, MgrA, OmpR, PhoP, PilR, PsrA, RhpR, RpoN, TsiR and Vfr) in P. syringae, we mapped an intricate network named PSVnet (Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network) by combining differentially expression genes in RNA-seq and binding loci in ChIP-seq of all regulators.
Project description:We implemented transcriptional analysis methods using cDNA and high-throughput sequencing data to identify HrpL-regulated genes for six strains of Pseudomonas syringae Each Pseudomonas syringae strains was transformed with either pBAD::EV or pBAD containing native hrpL sequence. Strains were grown in MM media supplemented with arabinose and collected 1, 3, and 5 hours post arabinose treatment. RNA was extracted for each time point and mixed at a 1/3 ratio. After removal of rRNA, double stranded cDNA was generated and library prepared accordeing to Illumina protocols.
