Terminus DNA loss in the Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Study of the mechanisms of RecB mutant terminus DNA loss in Escherichia coli. FX158: WT MG1655 FX35: recB- FX37: ruvAB- FX51: matP- MIC18: recB- sbcD- sbcC- MIC20: recB- ruvAB- MIC24: matP- recB- MIC25: recA- recB- MIC31: sbcB- sbcD- MIC34: recA- recD- MIC40: linear chromosome MIC41: linear chromosome recB- MIC42: matP- ftsKC- MIC43: matP- ftsKC- recB- MIC48: recA- Cells were grown in M9 minimal medium supplemented with 0.4 % glucose to exponential phase (0.2 OD 650 nm). Chromosomal DNA was extracted using the Sigma GenElute bacterial genomic DNA kit. 5 μg of DNA were used to generate a genomic library according to Illumina's protocol. The libraries and the sequencing were performed by the High-throughput Sequencing facility of the I2BC (http://www.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr/spip.php?article399&lang=en, CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette, France). Genomic DNA libraries were made with the ‘Nextera DNA library preparation kit’ (Illumina) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Library quality was assessed on an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, using an Agilent High Sensitivity DNA Kit (Agilent technologies). Libraries were pooled in equimolar proportions. 75 bp single reads were generated on an Illumina MiSeq instrument, using a MiSeq Reagent kit V2 (500 cycles) (Illumina), with an expected depth of 217X. An in-lab written MATLAB-based script was used to perform marker frequency analysis. Reads were aligned on the Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 genome using BWA software. Data were normalized by dividing uniquely mapping sequence reads by the total number of reads. Enrichment of uniquely mapping sequence reads in 1 kb non-overlapping windows were calculated and plotted against the chromosomal coordinates.

Project description:The SOS response is a conserved pathway that is activated under certain stress conditions and is regulated by the repressor LexA and the activator RecA. The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes contains RecA and LexA homologs, but their roles in Listeria have not been established. In this study, we identified the SOS regulon in L. monocytogenes by comparing the transcription profiles of the wild-type strain and the ÎrecA mutant strain after exposure to the DNA damaging agent mitomycinC (MMC). The SOS response is an inducible pathway involved in DNA repair, restart of stalled replication forks, and in induction of genetic variation in stressed and stationary phase cells. It is regulated by LexA and RecA. LexA is an autoregulatory repressor which binds to a consensus sequence in the promoter region of the SOS response genes, thereby repressing transcription. A consensus LexA binding motif for L. monocytogenes has not been identified thus far. Generally, the SOS response is induced under circumstances in which single stranded DNA accumulates in the cell. This results in activation of RecA, which in turn stimulates cleavage of LexA, and ultimately in the induction of the SOS response. Keywords: stress response, loop design, SOS response, mitomycin c, listeria monocytogenes, RecA, LexA Triple loop design of 3 independent experiments (series A, B, and C) using Wt strain and recA mutant (activator of the SOS response). Sampling was done before (t=0) and 1 hour after (t=60) exposure to mitomycin C (MMC) for both the wild-type strain and the recA mutant strain. One series therefore contains 4 samples and the complete experiments consists of 12 samples. Each of the 3 series was designed in a loop (wt, t=0 =>wt, t=60 => recA, t=60 => recA, t=0 => wt, t=0). These 3 loops were connected using series B as the central loop. Series B was connected to series A as follows: wt, t=0 (B) => recA, t=0 (A) and wt, t=60 (B) => recA, t=60 (A). Series B was connected to series C as follows: recA, t=0 (B) => wt, t=0 (C) and recA, t=60 (B) => wt, t=60 (C).
