Project description:In recent years, due to the influence of climate change and rising sea temperature, the incidence of Vibrio alginolyticus infections is increasing, and becoming the second most common Vibrio species reported in human illness. Therefore, better understanding of the pathogenic mechanism of V. alginolyticus infection is urgently needed. Vvrr1 (Vibrio virulence regulatory RNA 1) is a new found ncRNA predicted to be closely related to the adhesion ability of V. alginolyticus through the previous RNA-seq. In this study, the target genes of Vvrr1 were fully screened and verified by constructing Vvrr1 over-expressed strains and proteome sequencing technology.

Project description:(from abstract): Iron oxidation is a desirable trait of biomining microorganisms, although the mechanism is not well-understood in extreme thermoacidophiles. The complete genome sequence of the extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon Metallosphaera sedula DSM 5348 (2.2 Mb, ~2300 ORFs) provides insights into biologically catalyzed metal sulfide oxidation. Comparative genomics was used to identify pathways and proteins (in)directly involved with bioleaching. As expected, the M. sedula genome encodes genes related to autotrophic carbon fixation, metal tolerance, and adhesion. Also, terminal oxidase cluster organization indicates the presence of hybrid quinol-cytochrome oxidase complexes. Comparisons with the mesophilic biomining bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 indicate that the M. sedula genome encodes at least one putative rusticyanin, involved in iron oxidation. The fox gene cluster, involved in iron oxidation in the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus metallicus, could also be identified. These iron-oxidizing components are missing from genomes of non-leaching Sulfolobales like Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius DSM 639. Whole genome transcriptional response analysis showed that 88 ORFs were up-regulated 2-fold or more in M. sedula upon addition of ferrous sulfate to yeast extract-based medium; these included components of terminal oxidase clusters predicted to be involved with iron oxidation, as well as genes predicted to be involved with sulfur metabolism. Many hypothetical proteins were also differentially transcribed, indicating that aspects of the iron and sulfur metabolism of M. sedula remain to be identified and characterized. Dye flip of Mse cells includes two samples, yeast exact (YE) and yeast extract + ferrous sulfate (YEF). The first slide, Y3F5, has YE RNA labeled with cy3 and YEF RNA labeled with cy5, while the second slide, F3Y5, has YEF RNA labeled with cy3 and YE RNA labeled with cy5. YE serves as the reference condition, with the expectation that ORFs involved with Fe2+ oxidation (and SO4 metabolism) will be upregulated on YEF (log2 fold change of YE-YEF < -1).

Project description:Thermoacidophilic archaea are found in heavy metal-rich environments and, in some cases, these microorganisms are causative agents of metal mobilization through cellular processes related to their bioenergetics. Given the nature of their habitats, these microorganisms must deal with the potentially toxic effect of heavy metals. Here, we show that two thermoacidophilic Metallosphaera species with nearly identical (99.99%) genomes differed significantly in their sensitivity and reactivity to uranium. M. prunae, isolated from a smoldering heap on a uranium mine in Thuringen, Germany, could be viewed as a M-bM-^@M-^\spontaneous mutantM-bM-^@M-^] of M. sedula, an isolate from Pisciarelli solfatara near Naples, Italy. M. prunae tolerated U3O8 and U(VI) to a much greater extent than M. sedula. Within 15 minutes following exposure to M-bM-^@M-^\U(VI) shockM-bM-^@M-^], M. sedula, and not M. prunae, exhibited transcriptomic features associated with severe stress response. Furthermore, within 15 minutes post-U(VI) shock, M. prunae, and not M. sedula, showed evidence of substantial degradation of cellular RNA. This suggested that transcriptional and translational processes were aborted as a dynamic mechanism for resisting U toxicity; by 60 minutes post-U(VI) shock, RNA integrity in M. prunae recovered, and known modes for heavy metal resistance were activated. In addition, M. sedula rapidly oxidized solid U3O8 to soluble U(VI) for bioenergetic purposes, a chemolithoautotrophic feature not previously reported. M. prunae, however, did not solubilize solid U3O8 to any significant extent, thereby not exacerbating U(VI) toxicity. These results point to uranium extremophily as an adaptive, rather than intrinsic, feature for Metallosphaera species, driven by environmental factors. The study comprises 9 Samples, described in detail below. MprAU_MseAU: Transcriptional analysis of the response of Metallosphaera prunae (Mpr) and Metallosphaera sedula(Mse) to chemolithoautotrophic conditions (0.1 wt% Uranium octaoxide with CO2 supplementation in headspace). This experiment was done to identify the key terminal oxidases which responded to a Uranium oxide while doing inter-species comparison between Mpr and Mse. Transcriptional response of the terminal oxidase clusters proved that certain key genes play a role in the vastly different physiologies of these two species. MprN_MprU60: Transcriptional analysis of the response of Metallosphaera prunae (Mpr) to 60 min of Uranium shock.

Project description:SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification regulating all nuclear processes. Identification of SUMOylation sites by mass spectrometry has been hampered by bulky tryptic fragments, which thus far necessitated the use of mutated SUMO. Here, we present a dataset generated through a SUMO-specific protease-based methodology which circumvents this problem, dubbed Protease-Reliant Identification of SUMO Modification (PRISM). PRISM allows for detection of SUMOylated proteins as well as identification of specific sites of SUMOylation while using wild-type SUMO. The method is generic and could be widely applied to study lysine post-translational modifications. PRISM was employed in combination with high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify SUMOylation sites from HeLa cells under standard growth conditions and in response to heat shock. 751 wild-type SUMOylation sites on endogenous proteins were identified, including 200 dynamic SUMO sites in response to heat shock. Thus, we have developed the first method capable of quantitatively studying wild-type mammalian SUMO at the site-specific and system-wide level.

Project description:In order to screen for cellular substrates of the Bacillus subtilis BY-kinase PtkA, and its cognate phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase PtpZ, we performed a triple SILAC-based quantitative phosphoproteome analysis. Detected tyrosine phosphorylation sites for which the phosphorylation level decreased in the ΔptkA strain and increased in the ΔptpZ strain, compared to the wild type, were considered as potential substrates of PtkA/PtpZ. One of those sites was the residue tyrosine 601 of the molecular chaperone DnaK. We confirmed that DnaK is a substrate of PtkA and PtpZ by in vitro phosphorylation and dephosphorylation assays. In vitro, the non-phosphorylatable mutant DnaK Y601F exhibited impaired interaction with its co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE, along with diminished capacity to hydrolyze ATP and assist the re-folding of denatured proteins. In vivo, loss of DnaK phosphorylation in the mutant strain dnaK Y601F, or in the strain overexpressing the phosphatase PtpZ, led to diminished survival upon heat shock, consistent with the in vitro results. The decreased survival of the mutant dnaK Y601F at an elevated temperature could be rescued by complementing with the wild type dnaK allele expressed ectopically. We concluded that the residue tyrosine 601 of DnaK can be phosphorylated and dephosphorylated by PtkA and PtpZ, respectively. Furthermore, Y601 is important for DnaK chaperone activity and heat shock survival of B. subtilis.

Project description:High-temperature stress is a critical environmental parameter for all organisms and induces a cellular heat shock response, characterized by an upregulation of heat shock proteins. For Crenarchaeota, it is unknown how this response is regulated, given the lack of conservation of known prokaryotic or eukaryotic heat shock-regulating transcription factors and how cellular processes are affected. To this end, we studied the heat shock response of the thermoacidophilic Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, thriving in volcanic hot springs at 75°C, upon shift to 86°C, at the transcriptome and proteome level. By pulse-labeling of neosynthesized RNA and proteins upon heat shock, we show a drastic reduction of the cell’s major transcriptional activity immediately after shift and neosynthesis of certain abundant (heat shock) proteins, including the thermosome. By combining RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry, we show that RNA levels of half of the genes are affected immediately after temperature shift and that reprogramming of the protein landscape takes at least one hour and changes are more subtle. Correlation analysis provides evidence that considerable post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation is occurring upon heat shock. Functional enrichment analysis indicates that nearly all biological processes are affected by heat shock. An overall downregulation is observed for transcription, translation, DNA replication and cell division. However, quality control of translation and of the protein landscape is increased. Many DNA repair pathways are differentially expressed, accompanied with an increase in a DNA import system. Furthermore, expression of DNA topoisomerases is investigated, coinciding with a significant differential expression of nucleoid-associated proteins. Based on these findings and considering the absence of a conserved DNA-binding motif, we propose that regulation of the heat shock response in Sulfolobales is most likely not established by a classical transcription factor, but is rather caused by changes in chromosome organization or established at the post-transcriptional level.

Project description:This was an accompanying experiment. Previously, the expression of genes hsp70A and hsp70B had been established as being tetrapyrrole-dependent (Kropat et al., 1997, 2000). Since both are well-known heat-shock proteins, we performed a one-step heat shock treatment by shifting the temperatures from 23M-BM-0C to 42M-BM-0C for 45 min. Moreover, this experiment served as an additional global control to further test the reliability of the microarray and our general conditions since the heat shock response in general is quite well investigated. 3988 responding genes were identified. Among them are 22 genes known to be regulated by HS, selected examples are: the heat shock proteins 22A, 22B and 22C, here leading the list of top-regulated genes on place 1 with a FC of 91297 (22A), place 3 with a FC of 45023 (22B) and place 5 with a FC of 6570 (22C). Other examples are several DnaJ-like proteins or the ClpB chaperone, from the Hsp100 family. In total the analysis comprises 8 samples. For heat shock, a 20 ml culture with ~4 M-CM-^W 106 cells per ml in a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask was incubated at 42M-BM-0C for 45 min in the light with shaking. Control cultures were incubated in the light at 23M-BM-0C (von Gromoff et al., 1989; Kropat et al., 2000). For harvest, cultures were chilled immediately by pouring them onto crushed ice, centrifuged (5 min, 3000 g, 4M-BM-0C) and resuspended in 1 ml TAP. This procedure was repeated three times, resulting in 3 biological replicates.
