Expression of RpoN molecular roadblock in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in rich media

ABSTRACT: The bacterial transcription factor RpoN regulates an extensive network of genes whose products are involved in diverse biological functions. We constructed a small peptide termed the RpoN molecular roadblock, which binds to and blocks transcription from RpoN promoters. This RpoN molecular roadblock can be used in any bacterium to obtain information on the RpoN regulon. We expressed the RpoN molecular roadblock in P. aeruginosa PAO1 and used microarrays to identify genes that were differentially transcribed due to the RpoN molecular roadblock. The RpoN molecular roadblock was expressed in P. aeruginosa PAO1 in mid-exponential phase in rich media. Total RNA was isolated and prepped for Affymetrix GeneChips.

Project description:Among multiple interconnected pathways for L-Lysine (L-Lys) catabolism in pseudomonads, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 employed the decarboxylase and the transaminase pathways. However, up till now several genes involved in the operation and regulation of these pathways were still missing. Transcriptome analyses coupled with promoter activity measurements and mutant growth phenotype analysis lead us to identify several new members of the L-Lys and D-Lys catabolic pathways and their regulatory elements, including argR to trigger lysine decarboxylation into cadaverine, PauR for the Î³-glutamylation pathway of polyamine catabolism into 5-aminovalerate, gcdR-gcdHG for glutarate utilization, dpkA, amaR-amaAB and PA2035 for D-Lys catabolism, lysR-lysXE for L-Lys efflux, and lysP for L-Lys uptake. Gene expression microarray, including probe preparation, hybridization, fluidics run and chip scan, was performed by Georgia State University DNA/Protein Core Facility. P. aeruginosa PAO1 was grown aerobically in minimal medium P with 350 rpm shaking at 37C, in the presence of 10mM L-glutamate supplemented with 10 mM L-lysine, cadaverine, 5-amino valerate, glutaric acid, D-lysine or 5mM L-pipecolate. Cells were harvested when the optical density at 600 nm reached 0.5~0.6 by centrifugation for 5 minutes at 4C. Total RNA samples were isolated by RNeasy purification kit following instructions of the manufacturer (Qiagen). Reverse transcription for cDNA synthesis, fragmentation by DNase I treatment, cDNA probe labeling and hybridization were performed according to the instructions of GeneChip manufacturer (Affymetrix). Data were processed by Microarray Suite 5.0 software normalizing the absolute expression signal values of all chips to a target intensity of 500. GeneSpring software (Silicon Genetics) was used for expression pattern analysis and comparison. Data collection was carried out using GCOS 1.4 software (Affymetrix). Probe intensity values were normalized to a target value of 500 with normalization factor equal to 1. Data analysis was performed using GeneSpring GX 11 Software (Aglient, Palo Alto,CA).
