Project description:A whole transcriptome study was performed on Sulfolobus islandicus REY15A actively undergoing CRISPR spacer acquisition from the crenarchaeal monocaudavirus STSV2 in rich (TYS) and basal (SCV) media over a 6 day period. Spacer acquisition preceded strong host growth retardation, and changes in viral transcript abundance and virus copy numbers showed significant differences between the two media. Results showed that rich medium favoured CRISPR-Cas immunity generation.

Project description:V. cholerae A50 has a functional CRISPR-cas system with a conserved boxA sequence. Plasmids harboring protospacers that are perfect targets for each spacer of the array are introduced into wt and boxA mutant V. cholerae. After a period of growth without selection, cells are collected and the protospacer plasmids are sequenced in a high throughput manner.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas systems in bacteria and archaea provide powerful defense against phages and other foreign genetic elements. The principles of CRISPR-Cas activity are well understood, but less is known about how their expression is regulated. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encodes three separate CRISPR-Cas systems. The expression of one of these, a type III-Dv system, responds to changes in environmental conditions such as nitrogen starvation or changing light intensities. Here, we found that the promoter of the respective six-gene cas operon is controlled by the light- and redox-responsive transcription factor RpaB. RpaB binds to an HLR1 motif 53 to 70 nt upstream of the transcriptional start site, leading to the activation of transcription at low light intensities. However, the strong promoter driving transcription of the cognate repeat-spacer array is not under RpaB control. Instead, we found the 125 nt transcribed leader to be bound by the redox-sensitive RNA helicase CrhR, and crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry analysis revealed six residues specifically interacting with it. From these, L103, F104, H225, and C371 were predicted on the surface of a dimeric CrhR model. These results show that the expression of the CRISPR-Cas system is linked to the redox status of the photosynthetic cyanobacterial cell and that the elements involved are unique in that they act at two different levels. While RpaB affects transcription, CrhR engages with the transcribed leader at the post-transcriptional level. These results highlight the complex nature of the interrelationships between a CRISPR-Cas system and its host cell.

Project description:Bacteria protect themselves from infection by bacteriophages (phages) using different defence systems, such as CRISPR-Cas. Although CRISPR-Cas provides phage resistance, fitness costs are incurred, such as through autoimmunity. CRISPR-Cas regulation can optimise defence and minimise these costs. We recently developed a genome-wide functional genomics approach (SorTn-seq) for high-throughput discovery of regulators of bacterial gene expression. Here, we applied SorTn-seq to identify loci influencing expression of the two type III-A Serratia CRISPR arrays. Multiple genes affected CRISPR expression, including those involved in outer membrane and lipopolysaccharide synthesis. By comparing loci affecting type III CRISPR arrays and cas operon expression, we identified PigU (LrhA) as a repressor that co-ordinately controls both arrays and cas genes. By repressing type III-A CRISPR-Cas expression, PigU shuts off CRISPR-Cas interference against plasmids and phages. PigU also represses interference and CRISPR adaptation by the type I-F system, which is also present in Serratia. RNA sequencing demonstrated that PigU is a global regulator that controls secondary metabolite production and motility, in addition to CRISPR-Cas immunity. Increased PigU also resulted in elevated expression of three Serratia prophages, indicating their likely induction upon sensing PigU-induced cellular changes. In summary, PigU is a major regulator of CRISPR-Cas immunity in Serratia.

Project description:Previous studies suggest that type I and type II CRISPR-Cas systems were employed to evade host immunity by targeting interference of bacteria’s own genes. Although Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) possess integrated type III-A CRISPR-Cas system, its role in mycobacteria remains obscure. Here, we observed that seven cas genes (csm2~6, cas10, cas6) were significantly upregulated under oxidative stress treatment. To explore the function of type III-A CRSIRP-Cas system, Total CRISPR system (TCR) mutant strain was generated in M. bovis Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Deletion of TCR results in increased sensitivity in response to H2O2 and reduced cell envelope integrity. By using RNA-Seq, 590 differential expression genes were found in mutant for TCR, of which 220 genes were upregulated and 370 genes were downregulated, indicating an important role of TCR in controlling gene expression in mycobacteria. Consistently, disrupting TCR results in poor intracellular survival in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, we showed for the first time that TCR contributed to the regulation of regulatory T cell population, supporting a role of TCR in modulating host immunity. These observations demonstrate that type III-A CRISPR-Cas system as an important factor for intracellular survival and host immunoregulation in mycobacteria, may be a potential target for therapy.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas immune systems function to defend prokaryotes against potentially harmful mobile genetic elements including viruses and plasmids. The multiple CRISPR-Cas systems (Types I, II, III) each recognize and target destruction of foreign invader nucleic acids via structurally and functionally diverse effector complexes (crRNPs). CRISPR-Cas effector complexes are comprised of CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) that contain sequences homologous to the invading nucleic acids and Cas proteins specific to each immune system type. We have previously characterized a crRNP in Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) that contains Cmr proteins (Type III-B) associated with one of two primary size forms of crRNAs and functions through homology-dependent cleavage of target RNAs. In the current study, we have isolated and characterized two additional native Pfu CRISPR-Cas complexes containing either Csa (Type I-A) or Cst (Type I-G) proteins and distinct profiles of associated crRNAs. For each complex, the Cas proteins were identified by tandem mass spectrometry and immunoblotting and the crRNAs by RNA deep sequencing and Northern blot analysis. The crRNAs associated with both the Csa and Cst complexes originate from each of seven total CRISPR loci and contain identical 5’ ends (8-nt CRISPR RNA repeat-derived 5’ tag sequences) but heterogeneous 3’ ends (containing variable amounts of downstream repeat sequences). These crRNA forms are distinct from Cmr-associated crRNAs, indicating different 3’ end processing pathways following primary cleavage of common pre-crRNAs. We predict that the newly identified Pfu Type I-A (Csa) and Type I-G (Cst)-containing crRNPs, like other previously characterized Type I CRISPR-Cas effector complexes, each function by carrying out crRNA-guided DNA targeting of invading mobile genetic elements. Taken together, our in-depth characterization of the three isolated native complexes provides clear evidence for three compositionally distinct crRNPs containing either Cmr, Csa, or Cst Cas proteins that together make up an impressive arsenal of CRISPR-Cas defense for a single organism. 4 Samples: Protein-associated small RNAs

Project description:We generated a collection of 13 plasmids, with each plasmid containing a variant of a CRISPR protospacer targeted by spacer 8 of the E. coli CRISPR-I array. We transformed the plasmids as a pool into delta cas3 E. coli cells expressing all other cas genes constitutively. We then transformed these cells with either an empty vector or a plasmid expressing the Cas3 nuclease. DNA surrounding the protospacers was PCR-amplified and sequenced.

We transformed the plasmids as a pool into delta cas3 E. coli cells expressing all other cas genes constitutively, with FLAG-tagged casA. We then used ChIP to enrich for CasA-bound protospacers. DNA surrounding the protospacers was PCR-amplified from input (pre-immunocrecipitation) and ChIP (post-immunoprecipitation) samples and sequenced.
