Chromatin Affinity Precipitation-chiop of B. subtilis to gain insight into the invivo dynamics of RNA polymerase

ABSTRACT: To obtain an insight into the in vivo dynamics of RNA polymerase (RNAP) on the B. subtilis genome, we analyzed the distribution of ?A and ? subunits of RNAP and the NusA elongation factor on the genome in exponentially growing cells, using the ChAP (Chromatin Affinity Precipitation)-chip method. In contrast to E. coli RNAP, which often accumulates at the promoter-proximal region, B. subtilis RNAP is evenly distributed from the promoter to the coding sequences in the majority of genes. This finding suggests that B. subtilis RNAP recruited to the promoter promptly translocates away from the promoter to form the elongation complex. We detected RNAP accumulation in the promoter-proximal regions of some genes, most of which are attributed to transcription attenuation systems in the leader region. Our findings suggest that the differences in RNAP behavior during initiation and early elongation steps between E. coli and B. subtilis result in distinct strategies for post-initiation control of transcription. The E. coli mechanism involves trapping at the promoter and promoter-proximal pausing of RNAP in addition to transcription attenuation, whereas transcription attenuation in leader sequences is mainly employed in B. subtilis. Wild-type strain, Bacillus subtilis 168, was also used for RNA and genomic DNA extraction and analysis - RNA data was divided by genome DNA data to normalize (1) PCR bias and (2) copy number of RNA molecule per genome for multi-copy genome of exponentially growing bacteria.

Disributions of RpoC SigA NusA and GreA in Bacillus subtilis

Project description:Bacterial Gre factors associate with RNA polymerase (RNAP) and stimulate intrinsic cleavage of the nascent transcript at the active site of RNAP. Biochemical and genetic studies to date have shown that E. coli Gre factors prevent transcriptional arrest during elongation and enhance transcription fidelity. Furthermore, Gre factors participate in stimulation of promoter escape and suppression of promoter-proximal pausing during beginning of RNA synthesis in E. coli. Although Gre factors are conserved in general bacteria, limited functional studies have been performed in bacteria other than E. coli. In this investigation, ChAP-chip analysis was conducted to visualize the distribution of B. subtilis GreA on the chromosome and determine the effects of GreA inactivation on core RNAP trafficking. Our data show that GreA is uniformly distributed in the transcribed region from the promoter to coding region with core RNAP, and its inactivation induces RNAP accumulation at many promoter or promoter-proximal regions. Based on these findings, we propose that GreA would constantly associate with core RNAP during transcriptional initiation and elongation, and resolves its stalling at promoter or promoter-proximal regions, thus contributing to the even distribution of RNAP along the promoter and coding regions in B. subtilis cells.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Bacillus subtilis to identify Noc protein binding sites

Project description:Coordination of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis is crucial for efficient cell proliferation. In Bacillus subtilis the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc protects chromosomes by associating with the chromosome and preventing cell division in its vicinity. Using protein localization, ChAP-on-Chip and bioinformatics, we have identified a consensus Noc-binding DNA sequence (NBS), and show that Noc is targeted to about 70 discrete regions scattered around the chromosome, though absent from a large region around the replication terminus. Purified Noc bound specifically to an NBS in vitro. NBSs inserted near the replication terminus bound Noc-YFP and caused a delay in cell division. An autonomous plasmid carrying an NBS recruited Noc-YFP and conferred a severe Noc-dependent inhibition of cell division. This shows that Noc is a potent inhibitor of division but that its activity is strictly localized by interaction with NBS sites in vivo. We propose that Noc not only serves as a spatial regulator of cell division to protect the nucleoid, but also a timing device with an important role in the co-ordination of chromosome segregation and cell division.

Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of Bacillus subtilis greA deletion and GreA-D44A mutant strains

Project description:Bacterial Gre factors associate with RNA polymerase (RNAP) and stimulate intrinsic cleavage of the nascent transcript at the active site of RNAP. Biochemical and genetic studies to date have shown that E. coli Gre factors prevent transcriptional arrest during elongation and enhance transcription fidelity. Furthermore, Gre factors participate in stimulation of promoter escape and suppression of promoter-proximal pausing during beginning of RNA synthesis in E. coli. Although Gre factors are conserved in general bacteria, limited functional studies have been performed in bacteria other than E. coli. In this investigation, ChAP-chip analysis was conducted to visualize the distribution of B. subtilis GreA on the chromosome and determine the effects of GreA inactivation on core RNAP trafficking. Our data show that GreA inactivation induces RNAP accumulation at many promoter or promoter-proximal regions. Additionally, we performed transcriptome comparison between in wild type and greA deletion and greA D44A mutant cells to see the effect of RNAP pausing to the transcriptomes. Our results indicate that inactivation of GreA has a limited impact on the transcriptome, and these effects are not directly related to RNAP accumulation in the promoter or promoter-proximal regions.

Regulator trafficking on bacterial transcription units in vivo

Project description:The in vivo trafficking patterns on DNA by the bacterial regulators of transcript elongation Sigma70, Rho, NusA, and NusG and the explanation for high promoter-proximal levels or peaks of RNA polymerase (RNAP) are unknown. Genome-wide ChIP-chip on E. coli revealed distinct association patterns of regulators as RNAP transcribes away from promoters (Rho first, then NusA, and then NusG). However, the interactions of elongating complexes with these regulators, including a weak interaction with Sigma70, did not differ significantly among most transcription units. A modest variation of NusG signal among genes reflected increased NusG interaction as transcription progresses, rather than functional specialization of elongating complexes. Promoter-proximal RNAP peaks were offset from Sigma70 peaks in the direction of transcription and co-occurred with NusA and Rho peaks, suggesting that the RNAP peaks reflected elongating, rather than initiating, complexes. However, inhibition of Rho did not increase RNAP levels within genes downstream of the RNAP peaks, suggesting the peaks are caused by a mechanism other than simple Rho-dependent attenuation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments were performed using antibodies against RNA polymerase (Beta' subunit), Sigma70, NusA, NusG, or Rho. Differentially labeled ChIP DNA and genomic DNA were competitively hybridized to an E. coli K-12 MG1655 tiling array with overlapping probes at ~24bp spacing across the entire genome. The series contains 17 total datasets.

Nascent elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) for Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis reveals a consensus pause sequence enriched at translation start sites.

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase (RNAP) is interrupted by pauses that play diverse regulatory roles. Although individual pauses have been studied in vitro, the determinants of pauses in vivo and their distribution throughout the bacterial genome remain unknown. Using nascent transcript sequencing we identify a 16 nt consensus pause sequence in E. coli that accounts for known regulatory pause sites as well as ~20,000 new in vivo pause sites. In vitro single-molecule and ensemble analyses demonstrate that these pauses result from RNAP/nucleic-acid interactions that inhibit next-nucleotide addition. The consensus sequence also leads to pausing by RNAPs from diverse lineages and is enriched at translation start sites in both E. coli and B. subtilis. Our results thus implicate a conserved mechanism unifying known and newly identified pause events. Examination of nascent transcripts in E. coli and B. subtilis. 6 samples of E. coli NET-seq, 1 sample of E. coli mRNA-seq, and 1 sample of B. subtilis NET-seq.
