IHF and HU gene expression in E coli K12

ABSTRACT: IHF and HU are two heterodimeric nucleoid associated proteins (NAP) that belong to the same protein family but interact differently with the DNA. IHF is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that bends the DNA by over 160o. HU is the most conserved NAP which binds non-specifically to duplex DNA with a particular preference for targeting nicked and bent DNA. Despite their importance, the in-vivo interactions of the two proteins to the DNA remain to be described at a high resolution and on a genome-wide scale. Further, the effects of these proteins on gene expression on a global scale remain contentious. Finally, the contrast between the functions of the homo- and heterodimeric forms of these proteins deserves the attention of further study. Here we present a genome-scale study of HU- and IHF-binding to the E. coli K12 chromosome using ChIP-seq. We also perform microarray analysis of gene expression in single- and double-deletion mutants of each protein to identify their regulons. This data is for microarrays measuring gene expression changes in the various ihf mutants when compared to the wildtype.

Transcription profiling of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium wild type vs IFH (Integration Host Factor) alpha-subunit and IFH beta-subunit mutants

Project description:The integration host factor, IHF, is a DNA-binding and -bending protein with roles in local DNA structural organization and transcriptional regulation in Gram-negative bacteria. This heterodimeric protein is composed of the two highly homologous subunits IHF alpha and IHF beta. DNA microarray analysis was used to define the regulon of genes subject to IHF control in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The transcription profile of the wild type was compared with those of mutants deficient in IHF alpha, IHF beta, or both IHF alpha and IHF beta. Our data reveal a new connection between IHF and the expression of genes required by the bacterium to undergo the physiological changes associated with the transition from exponential growth to stationary phase. When a mutant lacking IHF entered stationary phase, it displayed downregulated expression of classic stationary-phase genes in the absence of any concomitant change in expression of the RpoS sigma factor. Purified IHF was found to bind to the regulatory regions of stationary-phase genes indicating an auxiliary and direct role for IHF in RpoS-dependent gene activation. Loss of IHF also had a profound influence on expression of the major virulence genes and epithelial cell invasion, indicating a role in co-ordinating regulation of the pathogenic traits with adaptation to stationary phase. Although the three mutants showed considerable overlaps in the genes affected by the ihf lesions, the observed patterns were not identical, showing that S. Typhimurium has not one but three overlapping IHF regulons.

The IHF regulon of exponentially growing Pseudomonas putida cells

Project description:Integration host factor (IHF) sites are largely absent from intergenic regions of ORFs encoding central metabolic functions in Pseudomonas putida mt-2. To gain an insight into this unequal distribution of otherwise abundant IHF-binding sequences, the transcriptome of IHF-plus and IHF-minus cells growing exponentially on glucose as sole carbon source was examined. In parallel, the cognate metabolic fluxes of the wild-type P. putida strain and its ihfA derivative were determined by culturing cells to a steady-state physiological regime with (13) C-labelled glucose. While expression of many transcripts was altered by the lack of IHF, flux balance analysis revealed that the ihfA mutation did not influence central carbon metabolism. Identification of multiple IHF sites adjacent to genes responsive to the factor allowed a refinement of the consensus and the mapping of the preferred binding positions for activation or repression of associated promoters. That few (if any) of the genes affected by IHF involved core pathways suggested that the central carbon metabolism tolerates the loss of the factor. Instead, IHF controlled various cell surface-related functions and downregulated genes encoding ribosomal proteins, the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase and components of the ATP synthase. These results were confirmed with lacZ fusions to a suite of promoters detected in the transcriptome as affected by IHF. Taken together, the data suggest that IHF plays a role in the physiological shift that sets P. putida for entering stationary phase. We compared the transcriptional profiles of P. putida mt-2 and the ihfA mutant. Samples were hybridized on a P. putida genome-wide oligonucleotide-based DNA microarray (Progenika Biopharma SA). RNA samples of seven independent biological samples were mixed in three pools. A dye-swap was performed.

Identification of genes regulated by gadE in E. coli O157:H7

Project description:Integrating laterally acquired virulence genes into the backbone regulatory network is important for the pathogenesis of Escherichia coli O157:H7, which has captured many virulence genes through horizontal transfer during evolution. GadE is an essential transcriptional activator of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system, the most efficient acid resistance mechanism in E. coli. The full contribution of GadE to the acid resistance and virulence of pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 remains largely unknown. We inactivated gadE in E. coli O157:H7 Sakai and compared global transcription profiles with that of wild type in exponential and stationary phases of growth using microarrays containing 6088 ORFs from three E. coli genomes. gadE inactivation significantly altered the expression of 60 genes independent of growth phase and 122 genes in a growth phase-dependent manner. Inactivation of gadE markedly down-regulated the expression of gadA, gadB, gadC and many acid fitness island genes in a growth phase-dependent manner. Nineteen genes encoded on the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE), including ler, showed a significant increase in expression upon gadE inactivation. Altogether, our data indicate that GadE is critical for acid resistance of E. coli O157:H7 and plays an important role in virulence by down-regulating expression of LEE. The results are based on O157:H7 Sakai wild type and gadE mutant exponential and stationary phase cultures grown in MOPS minimal medium. Differences in transcript levels were determined using a mixed model ANOVA in R/MAANOVA which tested for significant differences due to growth phase (exponential or stationary), strain (wild type or mutant) and the interaction of these two factors using the following linear model: array+dye+sample (biological replicate)+ phase+strain+phase*strain. We incorporated the dye-swaps among the biological replicates.

The nucleoid-associated protein HU controls three regulons that coordinate virulence and general physiology in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

Project description:The regulon of genes controlled by the HU nucleoid-associated proteins was examined in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium). DNA microarrays were used to detect the effect on the bacterial transcriptome of knockout mutations in the hupA, the hupB and in both the hupA and hupB genes. Distinct but overlapping patterns of gene expression were detected in the transcriptome at each time point for each of the three mutants, pointing to the existence of not one but three regulons of genes controlled by the HU proteins. Mutations in the hup genes altered the expression of regulatory and structural genes in both the SPI1 and the SPI2 pathogenicity islands. The hupA hupB double mutant was found to be defective in invasion of CACO2 and CHO epithelial cell lines and in its ability to survive in J774A.1 macrophage-like cells. The double mutant also had defective swarming activity and had a competitive fitness disadvantage compared to the wild type. In contrast, inactivation of just the hupB gene resulted in increased fitness and correlated with the up-regulation of members of the RpoS regulon in exponential phase cultures. Elimination of both the hupA and hupB genes resulted in strong down-regulation of the genes coding for the integration host factor, IHF, at all three time points. The effect of hupA and hupB single-deletions and hupA and hupB double-deletion on S. Typhimurium gene expression during growth in LB was analysed at 3 different time points (1, 4 and 6 hours post-inoculation). Between two and three biological replicates, as well as technical replicates, were performed for each mutant and time point. For this study, we used Salmonella genomic DNA as the comparator which also acted as the control for spot quality.
