The regulon of the pleiotropic transcription factor Spx in Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT: The transcriptional regulator Spx plays a key role in maintaining the redox homeostasis of Bacillus subtilis cells exposed to disulfide stress. Defects in Spx were previously shown to lead to differential expression of numerous genes but direct and indirect regulatory effects could not be distinguished. Wild-type strain and spx mutant cells exposed or not to diamide stress were subjected to tiling array gene expression analysis. To distinguish direct and indirect effects, the genomic sites bound by the Spx-RNAP complex were mapped using a chromatine immunoprecipitation approach. This allowed the identification of 144 transcription units comprising 275 genes under direct Spx regulation. This data set contains 4 samples. Immunoprecipitated (IP) DNA from Bacillus subtilis Bas044 strain (BSB1, a tryptophan-prototrophic derivative 168 strain expressing a SPA-tagged Spx protein) were extracted from bacterial cultures in absence or presence of diamide. IP and whole cell extract DNA were hybridized on tiling array to generate ChIP-on-chip profiles. Two biological replicates were analyzed.

The transcriptional regulator Spx plays a key role in maintaining the redox homeostasis of Bacillus subtilis cells exposed to disulfide stress. Defects in Spx were previously shown to lead to differential expression of numerous genes but direct and indirect regulatory effects could not be distinguished. Here we identified 283 discrete chromosomal sites potentially bound by the Spx-RNA polymerase (Spx-RNAP) complex using chromatin immunoprecipitation of Spx. Three quarters of these sites were loc ...[more]

Project description:Abstract of associated manuscript: The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma(M) factor is activated by cell envelope stress elicited by antibiotics, and by acid, heat, ethanol and superoxide stresses. Here, we have used several complementary approaches to identify genes controlled by sigma(M). In many cases, expression is only partially dependent on sigma(M) because of both overlapping promoter recognition with other ECF sigma factors and the presence of additional promoter elements. Genes regulated by sigma(M) have a characteristic pattern of induction in response to cell envelope-acting antibiotics as evidenced by hierarchical clustering analysis. sigma(M) also contributes to the expression of the Spx transcription factor and thereby indirectly regulates genes of the Spx regulon. Cell envelope stress responses also include regulons controlled by sigma(W), sigma(B) and several two-component regulatory systems (e.g. LiaRS, YycFG, BceRS). Activation of the sigma(M) regulon increases expression of proteins functioning in transcriptional control, cell wall synthesis and shape determination, cell division, DNA damage monitoring, recombinational repair and detoxification.

Each experiment was conducted at least twice using two independent total RNA preparations. For vancomycin untreated and treated experiments, untreated samples were labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 and treated samples with Alexa Fluor 647. For WT vs. mutant experiments, wild type was labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 and mutants with Alexa Fluor 647. For dye swap experiment, wild-type was labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 and mutant with Alexa Fluor 555.
