Project description:We show that treatment with HPUra (for S. pneumoniae) and trimethoprim (for E. coli) leads to a skewed gene dosage profile (increase around the origin of replication), which is also propagated to the transcriptome level. Kanamycin, however, does not have this effect. In case of S. pneumoniae this shift in gene dosage distribution leads to the population-wide activation of competence. Pairwise comparison of untreated to antibiotic-treated cells (either DNA-seq or RNA-seq). It was performed with deep sequencing, using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 machine with 100 bp read length. S. pneumoniae samples treated with kanamycin was analysed from a single sample, while all other conditions were from duplicate samples.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of D39 rel+Spn and delta-relSpn strains treated with mupirocin revealed relSpn-independent (translation stress), relSpn-dependent (stringent response), and delta-relSpn-dependent changes suggesting that relSpn and (p)ppGpp amount play wide-ranging homeostatic roles in pneumococcal physiology, besides adjusting macromolecular synthesis and transport in response to nutrient availability. Wildtype and rel deletion mutant (Delta rel) bacteria were grown statically in BHI broth at 37C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2. Cultures were divided in two upon reaching a density of OD620 ~0.1, and lithium mupirocin was added to one culture (t=0) to a final concentration of 100 ng per mL. Treated and untreated cultures were harvested after 20 min further incubation and RNA was extracted by a hot lysis-acid phenol protocol. We performed the following comparisons: Wildtype + mupirocin versus Wildtype untreated (reference); Delta rel + mupirocin versus Delta rel untreated (reference); Delta rel untreated versus Wildtype untreated (reference); Delta rel + mupirocin versus Wildtype + mupirocin (reference). For each comparison, microarray data were obtained from three independent biological replicates and included one dye swap.

Project description:Pneumococcal bacteriocins (pneumocins) are antibacterial toxins that mediate intra- and interspecies competition within the human host. What triggers pneumocin expression is poorly understood. Using RNA-sequencing, we mapped the regulon of the pneumocin cluster (blp) of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 and show that several antibiotics activate the blp-genes. Real-time gene expression measurements showed that while the promoter driving expression of the two-component regulatory system blpS/H was constitutive, the remaining blp-promoters (e.g. controlling pneumocin expression, immunity and the inducer peptide BlpC) was pH-dependent, induced in the late exponential phase and occurred in all cells. Intriguingly, competence for genetic transformation, mediated by the ComD/E two-component quorum system, was induced by the same stimuli. To test for regulatory interplay, we utilized synthetic BlpC and competence-stimulating peptide (CSP). Strikingly, immediately upon addition of CSP, the blp-promoters were activated in a comD/E dependent manner. After a delay, blp-expression was highly induced but strictly dependent on the presence of blpRH and blpC. This raised the question how BlpC is exported since phylogenetic analysis showed that the putative exporter for BlpC, blpAB, is not intact in strain D39 and most other strains. However, all sequenced pneumococcal strains contain intact comAB genes, encoding the transport system for CSP. In fact, we show that high expression of the blp-genes requires comAB. Together, we demonstrate that regulation of pneumocin expression is intertwined with competence, explaining why certain antibiotics induce blp-expression. Antibiotic-induced pneumocin expression might promote survival under antibiotic stress by killing and liberating DNA from neighboring (antibiotic-resistant) bacteria, which can then be used for transformation or repair. Pairwise comparison of untreated and antibiotic-treated cells (either DNA-seq or RNA-seq). It was performed with deep sequencing, using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 machine with 100 nt paired-end reads. Control and HPUra-treated samples were analysed from duplicate samples, while other conditions were from single samples.

Project description:We applied genomic array footprinting (GAF) in the search for genes of S. pneumoniae essential during the establishment and progression of experimental meningitis. Four libraries with a total of 6,000 independent TIGR4 marinerT7 transposon mutants were injected intra-cisternally in rabbits, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected after three, nine, and fifteen hours. Microarray analysis of mutant-specific probes from CSF samples and inocula identified 82 genes of which mutants had become attenuated and eleven genes of which mutants had become enriched during infection. Screening results particularly point to an essential role for capsular polysaccharides (cps), nutrient uptake, and metabolism in meningitis. Detailed study on directed mutants of a subset of sixteen GAF targets in an experimental model of rat meningitis revealed that ten were significantly attenuated or enriched during competitive infection. Furthermore, we showed that mutants of adenylosuccinate synthetase (purA), flavodoxin (fld), and the substrate binding protein (livJ) of a branched chain amino acid ABC-transporter were essential for full blown meningitis in a mono-infection setup of rat meningitis. Overall, the GAF screen revealed the general restraint on nutrients encountered by the pneumococcus in CSF, while, except for cps genes, no ‘classic’ virulence factors appeared to be required for infection. This knowledge will contribute to a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of pneumococcal meningitis. The rabbit meningitis model was performed as previously described by Østergaard (PMID: 9661008 ). Briefly, 10E6 CFU of a S. pneumoniae mutant library was suspended in 20 µl beef-broth and injected into cisterna magna of four groups of four outbred New Zealand White rabbits of app. 2.5 kg (in one group one rabbit died). CSF (0.3 ml) samples were repeatedly obtained from the same rabbit by aspiration from indwelling spinal- and arterial cannules. Samples were collected before pleocytosis developed (three hrs), at the time of maximal pleocytosis (nine hrs), and at a time of slowing bacterial growth and abating pleocytosis (fifteen hrs ). Until further processing in the GAF protocol, CSF and inocula were stored with 15% glycerol at -80ºC. The GAF technology was performed as described previously (PMID: 17261526 ). Briefly, stored inocula and CSF obtained during the experimental rabbit meningitis experiments were defrosted, diluted in GM17 medium supplemented with spectinomycin, and grown to mid-log phase. Chromosomal DNA was isolated, digested with AluI endonuclease, and used as a template for in vitro transcription initiated from the T7 promoters of the marinerT7 transposon that is present in each mutant. After removal of template DNA by DNAseI treatment, mutant-specific T7 RNA was reverse transcribed in the presence of fluorescent Cy3/Cy5-labeled dUTP nucleotides. Labeled Cy3/Cy5-cDNA from the CSF samples and oppositely labeled Cy5/Cy3 cDNA from the inocula were combined, purified, and washed by ultrafiltration. The cDNA was hybridized to pneumococcal microarrays containing, 2,087 ORFs of Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 and 70-mer oligo's specific for the non-homologous ORFs in the R6, D39, 23F, INV104B, INV200, OXC141, and G54 strains, all spotted in duplicate (PMID: 18174343) . Dual channel array images were acquired on a GenePix 4200AL microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA). Microarray image files were analyzed with GenePix Pro software (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA). Spots were screened visually to identify those of low quality and removed from the data set prior to analysis. A net mean intensity filter based on hybridization signals obtained with R6-specific spots was applied in all experiments. Slide data were processed and normalized using MicroPreP (PMID: 15907200). Further analysis was performed using a CyberT implementation of the Student’s t test (cybert.microarray.ics.uci.edu). This web-based program lists the ratios of all intra-replicates (duplicate spots) and inter-replicates (different slides), the mean ratios per gene, and standard deviations and (Bayesian) p values assigned to the mean ratios. For identification of conditionally essential genes, only genes with a minimum of 6/8 (for groups of four rabbits) or 5/6 for the group of three rabbits) reliable measurements and a Bayesian p-value < 0.001 were included. Further selection criteria were applied, as only mutants displaying an average fold-change of >2.5 at a minimum of two time-points, or >4.0 at one time-point were accepted as significantly attenuated or enriched. The microarray data have been deposited in the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) under GEO Series accession number ...

Project description:Glucocorticoid responsive AIED patients demonstrate alternate splicing of IL1R2 in response to dexamethasone prior to treatment. Identification of IL1R2 as a potential target gene in AIED was determined by a microarray analysis of patients with end-stage AIED and controls with non-immunologic etiologies of hearing loss undergoing cochlear implantation. Experiment Overall Design: Patients with either end-stage AIED or controls with non-immunologic etiologies of hearing loss undergoing cochlear implantation were enrolled. All patients received pneumovax 2 weeks prior to surgery. At the time of surgery, blood was taken for PBMC isolation and autologous perilymph was harvested from a bloodless field. For each patient, 3 microarrays were performed: (1) unstimulated PBMC, (2) pneumovax stimulated PBMC, (3) autologous perilymph stimulated PBMC. All conditions were compared for the AIED and control subjects. IL1R2 was identified as induced in controls, but not AIED patients, in response to autologous perilymph. Findings were confirmed by QPCR.

Project description:Genome-scale models represent the link between an organism's genetic information and experimentally observable biological phenotypes. They facilitate metabolic engineering and the discovery of network properties such as the identification of novel drug targets. Most commonly, metabolite consumption data is used to limit the solution space, sometimes in combination with gene expression data. However, information about gene expression only poorly correlates with the abundance of the respective proteins within the cell. As such, we developed a method to map and integrate the whole-cell proteome into genome-scale models on the example of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first effort to integrate proteome data into genome-scale models on such a scale.
