The orthologue of the RNA chaperone Hfq is essential for cell motility of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803

ABSTRACT: The gene ssr3341 was previously suggested to encode an orthologue of the RNA chaperone Hfq in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. When a phototactic strain of this cyanobacterium was insertionally inactivated at ssr3341, the mutants were not transformable, and were rendered non-phototactic compared to the wild type. The loss of motility was complemented by re-introduction of the wild-type gene, correlated with the re-establishment of type IV pili on the cell surface. Microarray analyses revealed a small set of genes with drastically reduced transcript levels in the knock-out mutant over wild-type cells. Among the most strongly affected genes are with slr1667, slr1668, slr2015, slr2016 and slr2018 five genes which belong to two operons that previously were shown to be involved in motility and controlled by the SYCRP1-cAMP receptor protein. This fact constitutes a link between cAMP signalling, motility, and the involvement of RNA-based regulation. This is the first report demonstrating a functional role of Hfq in cyanobacteria. Keywords: comparative expression profiling

Role of σ54 in the regulation of genes involved in biogenesis of type I and type IV pili in Xylella fastidiosa

Project description:The phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa produces two classes of pili, long type IV pili and short type I pili, which are involved in motility and adhesion. In this work, we have investigated the role of σ54 factor and its involvement in the regulation of fimbrial biogenesis in X. fastidiosa. An rpoN null mutant was constructed from citrus strain J1a12, and analyses of global gene expression profile by microarrays comparing the wild type and rpoN mutant strains showed that few genes exhibited differential expression. At least one gene, pilA1 (XF2542), which encodes the structural pilin protein of type IV fimbriae, showed decreased expression in the rpoN mutant whereas an operon encoding proteins of type I fimbriae were twofold more expressed in the mutant. Quantitative real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis confirmed that pilA1 transcript was significantly reduced in the rpoN mutant. The transcriptional start site of pilA1 was determined by primer extension, and a canonical σ54-dependent promoter was found upstream of the start site. Genome sequence analysis of X. fastidiosa revealed five paralogues of pilA, but microarray and qRT-PCR data demonstrated that only the pilA1 transcript was significantly affected in the rpoN mutant. The rpoN mutant made more biofilm than the wild type strain and presented a cell-cell aggregative phenotype. These results indicate that σ54 regulates biofilm formation, probably via differential regulation of genes involved in type IV and type I fimbrial biogenesis. Keywords: rpoN mutant strain, pili

Global identification of Hfq-bound RNA and transcriptional start site mapping in Serratia marcescens.

Project description:In order to identify mRNA and sRNAs associated with the RNA-binding protein Hfq in Serratia marcescens strain Db10, Hfq-bound RNA was immunoprecipitated from a strain encoding an Hfq-3FLAG fusion protein at the normal location and sequenced, in parallel with the wild type strain (no fusion) as negative control. Additionally global transcriptional start site mapping was performed on total RNA, with or without TEX treatment, isolated from wild type Serratia marcescens. The data was used to identify regions of mRNA and sRNAs associated with Hfq in this organism. Associated work in Serratia marcescens Db10, an opportunistic bacterial pathogen, has shown that Hfq is essential for virulence in several models and exerts a wide-ranging impact on the transcriptome and, particularly, genes encoding virulence factors.

Comparison of the transcriptomes of a Pasteurella multocida VP161 wild-type strain with a Pasteurella multocida VP161 hfq mutant

Project description:Objectives: To determine the transcripts that are differentially expressed in a hfq mutant. Hfq is an RNA chaperone that mediates many interactions between regultory RNAs and their mRNA targets. Analysis of the transcriptomes of the Pasteurella multocida wild-type strain and the Pasteurella multocida hfq mutant will allow for identification of genes controlled by hfq and the sRNAs with which it interacts.

Tracking the elusive function of Bacillus subtilis Hfq (Agilent)

Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of Bacillus subtilis wild-type strain and hfq mutant in stationary phase of growth using to tiling array gene expression analysis. RNA-binding protein Hfq is a key component of the adaptive responses of many proteobacterial species. In these organisms, the importance of Hfq largely stems from its participation to regulatory mechanisms involving small non-coding RNAs. In contrast, the function of Hfq in Gram-positive bacteria has remained elusive. 97 transcription units (representing 134 genes) were found significantly different between the wild-type and the ΔhfqBs strains in the stationary cultures performed in rich LB medium.
