Genome wide binding sites of NsrR in uropathogenic E.coli CFT073
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We applied ChIP-seq to identify genome wide binding targets of NsrR in E.coli CFT073. NsrR is a nitric oxide sensitive regulator of transcription. Genome wide binding targets of NsrR have been identified in E.coli K12 using ChIP-chip. The genome of CFT073 is about 0.6Mb larger than that of K12. In this study, we identify the novel NsrR binding sites in CFT073. The nsrR gene was modified by the addition of DNA sequences encoding a C-terminal 3X-Flag tag, and the tagged gene was integrated into the chromosome. NsrR bound DNA was isolated by chromatin immunoprecipitation and it was sequenced using Miseq platform.

Project description:NsrR is a nitric oxide sensitive regulator of transcription. In Escherichia coli, NsrR is a repressor of the hmp gene encoding the flavohemoglobin that detoxifies nitric oxide. Several other transcription units (including ytfE, ygbA and hcp-hcr) are known to be subject to regulation by NsrR. In this study, chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis was used to identify NsrR binding sites in the chromosome of Escherichia coli strain MG1655. Keywords: ChIP-chip
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 nsrR with AUG start codon compared to the wild type nsrR (with a GUG start codon) and to the control lacking the nsrR gene. Conversion of the nsrR start codon from the wild type GUG to AUG increased the efficiency of translation and had measurable effects on the expression patterns of some NsrR regulated genes. A nine chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 AUGnsrR, three separate cultures of the WT nsrR (GUGnsrR) and three separate cultures of nsrR deletion strain. Each chip measures the expression level of 4,254 genes from Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 with eight 60-mer probes per gene, with 2-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:In this study, we have defined the NsrR regulon in Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium 14028s using a transcriptional microarray. Wild-type and nsrR mutant S. Typhimurium were grown aerobically to early log-phase (OD600~0.5) at 37C in LB medium. Total RNA was isolated from three independent cultures of both strains and interrogated on a PCR product array representing almost all ORFs.

Project description:Successful pathogens must be able to protect themselves against reactive nitrogen species generated either as part of host defence mechanisms, or as products of their own metabolism. The regulatory protein, NsrR (a member of the Rrf2 family of transcription factors), plays key roles in this stress response. Microarray analysis was carried out to reveal the regulon of NsrR.

Project description:NsrR strongly represses transcription of small numbers of genes in the absence of NO NsrR moderately represses transcription of large numbers of genes in a less NO-sensitive manner The wild-type and mutant cells were cultured anaerobically in the presence and absence of NO. Biological triplicate samples were used to isolate RNA.
