Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis in Rhodobacter capsulatus and Application to Comparative Expression Analysis of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic data has been previously used to determine expression patterns in various R. capsulatus strains using custom made Affymetrix microarrays. Additional expression analyses have since been carried out to obtain preliminary data on certain wild type and mutant strains that have not been reported on. We used all current microarray expression data available and constructed an R. capsulatus gene co-expression network and performed functional analysis of identified gene modules. RNA was harvested from various wild type and mutant R. capsulatus strains grown under photoheterotrophic conditions to different growth phases. The samples were hybridized to custom made R. capsulatus Affymetrix microarrays according to manufacturers recommendations. The raw data was RMA normalized and log transformed.

DNA packaging bias and differential expression of gene transfer agent genes within a population during production and release of the Rhodobacter capsulatus gene transfer agent, RcGTA

Project description:Rhodobacter capsulatus produces a gene transfer agent (GTA) called RcGTA. RcGTA is a phage-like particle that packages R. capsulatus DNA and transfers it to other R. capsulatus cells. Low-resolution techniques suggested RcGTA packages random DNA. Analysis of the RcGTA terminase sequence revealed a distant relationship to the phage T4 terminase protein, which can also perform sequence-independent packaging. We quantified the relative frequency of packaging for each gene in the genome by hybridization of DNA from RcGTA particles to an R. capsulatus microarray. All genes were found within the RcGTA particles, and random packaging was observed at a genome-wide scale. However, the genes encoding the RcGTA particle were under-packaged compared to other regions. Single-cell expression analysis demonstrated that RcGTA gene expression is not uniform within a culture. We propose a mechanism by which high levels of RcGTA gene transcription in the most active RcGTA producing cells hinders access of the packaging machinery to these genes, which causes a reduction in their packaging frequency. This sub-population gene expression phenomenon likely explains the lack of observed cell lysis in RcGTA producing cultures. DNA extracted from within RcGTA particles produced by DE442, an RcGTA overproducer, was hybridized to an Affymetrix genechip custom array in order to quantify the relative frequency with which any given gene was packaged within the particles. These data were MAS5 normalized. An underlying packaging bias was suspected to be transcription related, so these frequencies were compared to expression levels within the population, as determined by hybridization of late-stationary RNA samples of DE442 and of the wildtype (SB1003) to the same custom array. These data were RMA normalized.

Not just an alternative nitrogenase: The Fe-nitrogenase system belongs to the NifA regulon in Rhodobacter capsulatus

Project description:The diazotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus synthesizes a molybdenum nitrogenase and an alternative iron-only nitrogenase, enabling growth with molecular dinitrogen as sole nitrogen source. Regulation of nitrogen fixation was analyzed by proteome profiling of wild-type and mutant strains lacking the transcriptional regulators NifA, AnfA, and MopAB.

Two distinct ferredoxins are essential for nitrogen fixation by the iron nitrogenase in Rhodobacter capsulatus

Project description:Nitrogenases are the only enzymes able to ‘fix’ gaseous nitrogen into bioavailable ammonia and, hence, are essential for sustaining life. Catalysis by nitrogenases requires both a large amount of ATP and electrons donated by strongly reducing ferredoxins or flavodoxins. Our knowledge about the mechanisms of electron transfer to nitrogenase enzymes is limited, with electron transport to the iron (Fe)-nitrogenase having hardly been investigated. Here, we characterised the electron transfer pathway to the Fe-nitrogenase in Rhodobacter capsulatus via proteome analyses, genetic deletions, complementation studies and phylogenetics. Proteome analyses revealed an upregulation of four ferredoxins under nitrogen-fixing conditions reliant on the Fe-nitrogenase in a molybdenum nitrogenase knockout strain (nifD), compared to non-nitrogen-fixing conditions. Based on these findings, R. capsulatus strains with deletions of ferredoxin (fdx) and flavodoxin (fld, nifF) genes were constructed to investigate their roles in nitrogen fixation by the Fe-nitrogenase. R. capsulatus deletion strains were characterised by monitoring diazotrophic growth and nitrogenase activity in vivo. Only deletion of fdxC or fdxN resulted in slower growth and reduced Fe-nitrogenase activity, whereas the double-deletion of both fdxC and fdxN abolished diazotrophic growth. Differences in the proteomes of ∆fdxC and ∆fdxN strains, in conjunction with differing plasmid complementation behaviours of fdxC and fdxN, indicate that the two Fds likely possess different roles and functions. These findings will guide future engineering of the electron transport systems to nitrogenase enzymes, with the aim of increased electron flux and product formation.
