Project description:Escherichia coli uses σ factors to quickly control large gene cohorts during stress conditions. While most of its genes respond to a single σ factor, approximately 5% of them have dual σ factor preference. The most common are those responsive to both σ70, which controls housekeeping genes, and σ38, which activates genes during stationary growth and stresses. Using RNA-seq and flow-cytometry measurements, we show that ‘σ70+38 genes’ are nearly as upregulated in stationary growth as ‘σ38 genes’. Moreover, we find a clear quantitative relationship between their promoter sequence and their response strength to changes in σ38 levels. We then propose and validate a sequence dependent model of σ70+38 genes, with dual sensitivity to σ38 and σ70, that is applicable in the exponential and stationary growth phases, as well in the transient period in between. We further propose a general model, applicable to other stresses and σ factor combinations. Given this, promoters controlling σ70+38 genes (and variants) could become important building blocks of synthetic circuits with predictable, sequence-dependent sensitivity to transitions between the exponential and stationary growth phases.

Project description:The ability of bacteria to adapt to stress depends on their ability to conditionally express specific sets of genes. Bacillus subtilis encodes seven extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma (σ) factors that regulate functions important for survival under conditions eliciting cell envelope stress. Of these, four have been studied in detail: σM, σW, σX and σV . The regulons of these four σ factors overlap, although the sequences that determine promoter selectivity are incompletely understood. A major role in promoter selectivity has been ascribed to the core promoter -10 and -35recognition elements. Here, we demonstrate that a homopolymeric T-tract motif, proximal to the-35 recognition element, functions in combination with the core promoter sequences to2determine selectivity for ECF sigma factors. This motif is critical for promoter activation by σV, contributes to activation by σM and σX, but has relatively little effect for σW. We propose that this motif, which is a feature of the deduced promoter consensus for a subset of ECF s factors from many species, affects confirmation or curvature of the DNA to influence promoter activity. The differential effect of this region amongst ECF s factors thereby provides a mechanism to modulate the nature and extent of regulon overlap.

Project description:Sigma factors are master regulators of bacterial transcription which direct gene expression of specific subsets of genes. In particular, alternative sigma factors are well-known to be key players of bacterial adaptation to changing environments. To elucidate the regulatory network of sigma factors in P. aeruginosa, an integrative approach including sigma factor-dependent mRNA profiling was performed to define the primary regulon of each sigma factor.

Project description:Sigma factors are an important class of bacterial transcription factors that lend specificity to RNA polymerases by binding to distinct promoter elements for genes in their regulons. Here we show that activation of the general stress sigma factor, B, in Bacillus subtilis paradoxically leads to dramatic induction of translation for a subset of its regulon genes. These genes are translationally repressed when transcribed by the housekeeping sigma factor, A, owing to extended RNA secondary structures as determined in vivo using DMS-MaPseq. Transcription fromB-dependent promoters liberates the secondary structures and activates translation, leading to dual induction. Translation efficiencies between B- and A-dependent RNA isoforms can vary by up to 100-fold, which in multiple cases exceeds the magnitude of transcriptional induction. These results highlight the role of long-range RNA folding in modulating translation and demonstrate that a transcription factor can regulate protein synthesis beyond its effects on transcript levels.

Project description:Sigma factors are master regulators of bacterial transcription which direct gene expression of specific subsets of genes. In particular, alternative sigma factors are well-known to be key players of bacterial adaptation to changing environments. To elucidate the regulatory network of sigma factors in P. aeruginosa, an integrative approach including sigma factor-dependent mRNA profiling was performed to define the primary regulon of each sigma factor. Sigma factor hyper-expressing strains harboring the sigma factor gene in trans under control of the araBAD promoter and sigma factor deletion mutants were constructed. Under optimal conditions regarding sigma factor activity and optional induction of sigma factor expression, bacteria were harvested and total RNA was extracted. Upon mRNA enrichment, RNA was fragmented and ligated to specific RNA-adapters containing a hexameric barcode sequence for multiplexing. These RNA-libraries were reverse transcribed and amplified resulting in cDNA libraries which were sequenced on Illumina platforms. Sequence reads were separated according to their barcodes and barcode sequences were removed. The short reads were mapped to the genome sequence of the reference strain P. aeruginosa PA14 wild-type using stampy with default settings. The R package DESeq was used for differential gene expression analysis.

Project description:The circadian clock of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 drives oscillations in global mRNA abundances with 24 hour periodicity under constant light conditions. The transcription factor RpaA, a circadian clock-regulated transcription factor, controls the timing of circadian gene expression, but the mechanisms underlying this control are not well understood. Here we show that four RpaA-dependent sigma factors – RpoD2, RpoD6, RpoD5, and SigF2 – are sequentially activated downstream of active RpaA and are required for proper expression of circadian mRNAs. We find that RpoD6, RpoD5, and SigF2 exhibit circadian oscillations with different timing relative to each other at the level of mRNA expression and protein abundance. By measuring global gene expression in strains modified to individually lack rpoD2, rpoD6, rpoD5, and sigF2 we identify how expression of circadian mRNAs – including sigma factor mRNAs – is altered in the absence of each sigma factor. Broadly, our findings suggest that a single transcription factor, RpaA, is sufficient to generate complex circadian expression patterns in part by regulating an interdependent sigma factor cascade.

Project description:Next to the two-component and quorum sensing systems, cell-surface signaling (CSS) has been recently identified as an important regulatory system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. CSS senses signals from outside the cell and transmits them into the cytoplasm. It consists of a TonB-dependent outer membrane receptor, a cytoplasmic membrane-localized sigma factor regulator (or anti-sigma factor), and an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor. Upon perception of the extracellular signal by the receptor the ECF sigma factor is activated and promotes the transcription of a specific set of gene(s). Although most P. aeruginosa ECF sigma factors are involved in the regulation of iron uptake, we have identified a novel ECF sigma factor (PA0675) involved in the regulation of virulence. By microarray analysis of cells overexpressing PA0675 from the pMUM3 plasmid we have identified the genes regulated by this sigma factor.

Project description:Sinorhizobium meliloti can live as a soil saprophyte, and can engage in a nitrogen fixing symbiosis with plant roots. To succeed in such diverse environments, the bacteria must continually adjust gene expression. Transcriptional plasticity in eubacteria is often mediated by alternative sigma factors interacting with core RNA polymerase. The S. meliloti genome encodes 14 of these alternative sigmas, including two putative RpoH (heat shock) sigmas. We used custom Affymetrix Symbiosis Chips to characterize the global transcriptional response of S. meliloti rpoH1, rpoH2 and rpoH1 rpoH2 mutants during heat shock and stationary phase growth. Under these conditions, expression of over 300 genes is dependent on rpoH1 and rpoH2.
