Project description:By integrating sequence information from closely related bacteria with a compendium of high-throughput gene expression datasets, a large-scale transcriptional regulatory networks was constructed for Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Predictions from this network were validated in part using genome-wide analysis for 3 transcription factors (PpsR, RSP_0489 and RSP_3341). Genome-wide protein-DNA interaction analysis of 3 transcription factors predicted to be involved in photosynthesis (PpsR), carbon metabolism (RSP_0489) and iron homeostasis (RSP_3341) were used to validate predictions from a large-scale reconstruction of R. sphaeroides transcriptional regulatory network.
Project description:To gain a better understanding of the transcription factors that regulate central carbon metabolism in Rhodobacter sphaeroides ChIP-seq was used to determine the genome-wide binding locations of 2 transcription factors: CceR (RSP_1663) and AkgR (RSP_0981) both predicted to be involved in the regulation of of central carbon and energy metabolism.

Project description:To gain a deeper understanding of the transcription factors that regulate photosynthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides ChIP-seq was used to determine the genome-wide binding locations of 4 transcription factors (FnrL, PrrA, CrpK and RSP_2888) known or predicted to be involved in the regulation of photosynthesis. Genome-wide protein-DNA interaction analysis of 4 transcription factors known or predicted to be involved in the regulation of photosynthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, using ChIP-seq and complementary assays.
Project description:To gain a deeper understanding of the transcription factors that regulate photosynthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides global gene expression analysis was used to determine the expression profiles of the deletion mutants of 4 transcription factors (FnrL, PrrA, CrpK and RSP_2888) known or predicted to be involved in the regulation of photosynthesis. Microarray analysis conducted for deletion strains of 4 transcription factors known or predicted to be involved in the regulation of photosynthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides using the R. sphaeroides Affymetrix gene chip. These deletion mutant expression profiles were compared to that of wild type cells to determine differentially expressed genes regulated by these transcription factors.

Project description:Rhodobacter sphaeroides is the best studied photosynthetic bacterium, yet much remains unknown about its transcriptional regulatory processes on a genome-scale. We developed a work-flow for genome-scale reconstruction of transcriptional regulatory networks and applied it to sequence and gene expression data sets available for R. sphaeroides. To assess the predictive performance of our reconstructed model, we generated global transcript level and/or protein-DNA interaction data for 3 transcription factors (PpsR, RSP_0489 and RSP_3341). This dataset contains global transcript level analyses for RSP_0489 and RSP_3341 deletion strains, as well as matching wild type controls. Microarray analysis conducted for deletion strains of 2 previously uncharacterized transcription factors predicted to be involved in the regulation of carbon metabolism and iron homeostasis in R. sphaeroides using the R. sphaeroides Affymetrix gene chip. These deletion mutant expression profiles were compared to that of wild type cells to determine differentially expressed genes regulated by these transcription factors.

Project description:We report that ancestral zinc-finger-domain transcriptional regulators, previously reported to control virulence/symbiosis, implement a cell cycle (SM-bM-^FM-^RG1) transcriptional switch. To unravel how this G1-phase transcriptional program is reinstated during a primitive cell cycle, we first defined G1-specific promoters in the model bacterium Caulobacter crescentus by comparative ChIP-Seq analysis. We then exploited one such promoter as genetic proxy, to identify two conserved developmental regulator paralogs, MucR1/2, that constitute a quadripartite and homeostatic regulatory module directing the switch from SM-bM-^FM-^RG1-phase transcription. Surprisingly, MucR orthologs that regulate virulence and symbiosis gene transcription in Brucella, Agrobacterium or Sinorhizobium support the G1 transcriptional switch in Caulobacter. Pan-genomic ChIP-Seq analyses in Sinorhizobium and Caulobacter show that this module targets orthologous genes. Thus, this ancestral bacterial lineage from which eukaryotic organelles descended may coordinate virulence/symbiosis with other cell cycle functions using a primordial transcription factor fold that is now primarily found in the eukaryotic domain of life.
