Project description:The phylum Bacteroidetes is a major component of the human gut microbiota which has a broad impact on the development and physiology of its host, and a potential role in a wide range of disease syndromes1-3. The predominance of Bacteroidetes and the genus Bacteroides in the distal gut is due in large part to the expansion of paralogous gene clusters, termed Polysaccharide Utilization Loci (PULs), dedicated to the uptake and catabolism of host derived and dietary polysaccharides4,5. It is generally thought that the diversity of PULs is key to Bacteroides successful competition for nutrients in the gut environment6. The nutritive value of the available polysaccharides varies greatly and thus their utilization is hierarchical and strictly controlled. A typical PUL includes regulatory genes that control expression in response to the presence of specific glycan substrates. However the existence of additional regulatory mechanisms has been predicted to explain phenomena such as the hierarchical control, catabolite repression, and the fine tuning of gene expression to match catabolic activity7-9. Using Bacteroides fragilis as a model organism, this report describes a previously unknown layer of regulatory control in which cis-encoded antisense small RNAs (sRNA) act as repressors of the PULsâ catabolic genes. Nearly 30% of B. fragilis PULs are subject to this type of sRNA control and these PULs tend to be more closely linked to the utilization of host-derived glycans than dietary polysaccharides. The findings described here indicate the presence of a global control mechanism that underlies the known regulatory circuits which modulate PUL expression in response to substrate availability, and hence provide novel insight into regulation of the gut Bacteroidetes physiology. This is a 4 chip study with 8 technical replicates on each chip. This was an in vitro, exploratory study to determine if mutation or overexpression of a sRNA associated with the Don locus would affect gene expression. In vitro cultures were grown in defined media with mucin glycans as the sole carbon source. The two chips representing growth of the wild type strain (638R) on mucin glycans were also used in a related study GSE53883 (GSM1303101 and GSM1303102).

Project description:Mapping the occupancy of FNR, HNS, and IHF throughout the genome of Escherchia coli MG1655 K-12 using an affinity purified antibody under anerobic growth conditions. We also mapped the binding of the M-CM-^_ subunit of RNA Polymerase under both aerobic and anaerobic growth conditions. As a control, we also performed ChIP-chip on FNR in a M-bM-^HM-^Ffnr mutant strain of Escherchia coli MG1655 K-12. We also examined FNR immunoprecipitation at various FNR concentrations using IPTG and Ptac::fnr (PK8263). The M-bM-^HM-^Fhns/M-bM-^HM-^FstpA strains were also used.

Project description:In Escherichia coli, the highly conserved enzymes MiaA and MiaB mediate the sequential prenylation and methylthiolation of adenosine-37 within tRNAs that decode UNN codons. We found that MiaA, but not MiaB, is critical to the fitness and virulence of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC), a major cause of urinary tract and bloodstream infections. Deletion of miaA has pleiotropic effects, attenuating bacterial fitness and virulence within diverse host environments and rendering ExPEC especially sensitive to stressors like nitrogen and oxygen radicals and osmotic shock. We find that stress can stimulate striking changes in miaA expression. To assess how changing MiaA levels affect the pathogen proteome, we used MS to analyze the proteins express by the reference ExPEC isolate UTI89 and derivatives that either lack or overexpress MiaA.

Project description:Genomic analysis of the model lignocellulosic biomass degrading bacteria C. phytofermentans indicates that it can degrade, transport, and utilize a wide-range of carbohydrates as possible growth substrates. Previous experiments characterized the expression of the degradation and transport machinery using custom whole genome oligonucleotide microarrays. The results indicate that C. phytofermentans utilizes ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters for carbohydrate uptake and does not use the sole phosphoenolpyruvate-phosphotransferase system (PTS) for any of the tested substrates. While some ABC transporters are specific for a single carbohydrate, the expression profiles indicate that others may be capable of transporting multiple substrates. Distinct sets of Carbohydrate Active Enzymes (CAZy) genes were also up-regulated on specific substrates indicative of C. phytofermentans ability to selectively degrade plant biomass. We also identified a highly expressed cluster of genes which includes seven extracellular glycoside hydrolases and two ABC transporters with unknown specificity. These results lead to the hypothesis that when grown on plant biomass, C. phytofermentans is capable of degrading and transporting all major carbohydrate components of the plant cell. To test this, C. phytofermentans was grown on cornstover and switchgrass. Results from this expression data and HPLC analysis indicates that C. phytofermentans is utilizing multiple substrates. with multiple sugar ABC transporter clusters and glycoside hydrolases being expressed. Interestingly all of the transporters were initially identified on disaccharides or oligio-saccharides, and none of the transporters identified as monosaccharide specific transporters were expressed. This could be an indication that C. phytofermentans prefers to transport oligiosacchrides over monosaccharides. The results presented here corroborate the genomic data which indicates the breath of the carbohydrate degradation, transport, and utilization machinery of C. phytofermentans. C. phytofermentans was cultured anaerobically on switchgrass and corn stover to determine specific expression patterns. The data in this series consists three independent RNA preparations from replicate cultures.
