Genome-wide expression analyses in Aspergillus fumigatus growing under alkaline zinc-limiting conditions

ABSTRACT: In this study it was investigated the role of ZafA on gene expression at a genome wide scale by comparing the transcriptional profile of a wild-type strain of A. fumigatus with that of a dzafA null strain grown in zinc-limiting media. The analysis of the results indicated that among genes up-regulated under zinc-limiting conditions were those most directly involved in zinc homeostasis such as zafA, that encoded for the ZafA transcriptional regulator of zinc homeostasis, zrfA, zrfB and zrfC that encoded zinc transporters presumably located at the plasma membrane and zrfF that encodes a zinc transporter located presumably at the vacuole membrane. Besides, a gene encoding a putative zinc-metallochaperone that might play a role in the correct folding of certain metalloproteins was also induced under zinc-limiting conditions. In addition, many other genes whose encoding products are either predicted or shown to be related to different metabolic or regulatory processes were also up-regulated under zinc-limiting conditions, including genes related to amino acid metabolism, cell wall biosynthesis, cytoskeletal assembly and reorganization, energy homeostasis, oxidative stress response, ER and vacuolar functions, iron metabolism, vesicular trafficking, lipid and ergosterol metabolism, protein degradation and modification, sulfur metabolism, ribosomal biogenesis and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.

Tri6 is a global transcription regulator in the phytopathogen Fusarium graminearum

Project description:In F. graminearum, the transcriptional regulator TRI6 is encoded within the trichothecene gene cluster and regulates genes involved in the biosynthesis of the secondary metabolite deoxynivalenol (DON). Targeted disruption of TRI6 confirmed its role as a positive regulator of trichothecene genes and previous studies designated Tri6 as a pathway-specific transcriptional regulator. The Tri6 protein with its Cys2His2 zinc-finger may also conform to the class of broad-domain transcription regulators. This class of global transcriptional regulators mediate various environmental cues and generally responds to the demands of cellular metabolism. Expression profiling of F. graminearum grown under nitrogen-limiting conditions revealed that 49 out of 198 target genes are differentially regulated by TRI6. The identification of potential new targets together with deciphering novel binding site for Tri6, casts new light into the role of this transcriptional regulator in the overall growth and development of F. graminearum. Three biological replicates of Fusarium graminearum wildtype strain GZ3639 (NRRL 38155) (reference) and a tri6∆ mutant derived from GZ3639 were grown under nitrogen-limiting conditions in liquid culture for 5 hrs at 28oC

Copper acts synergistically with fluconazole in Candida glabrata by compromising drug efflux, zinc homeostasis and sterol metabolism

Project description:In this study we used a transcriptomic approach to study the molecular determinants of the synergy between copper and fluconazole, in Candida glabrata, the second most frequent cause of invasive candidiasis. We demonstrate that copper acts together with fluconazole by downregulating three distinct pathways: azole efflux, ergosterol biosynthesis and zinc homeostasis. Coincidently, all these pathways are important for C. glabrata to cope with fluconazole stress. Therefore, when copper and fluconazole are combined cells fail to detoxify this drug and accumulate toxic methylated intermediates of sterol metabolism. This accumulation, possibly together with copper-induced lipid damages, should affect the activity of plasma membrane transporters, which impedes zinc uptake, leading to zinc depletion

Comparison of gene expression changes in Streptococcus pyogenes in the presence of zinc

Project description:Manuscript title: Zinc disrupts central carbon metabolism and capsule biosynthesis in Streptococcus pyogenes. Macrophages and neutrophils release free zinc to eliminate phagocytosed bacterial pathogens. The study investigates the effect of how zinc toxicity affects Streptococcus pyogenes. Therefore, a microarray analysis was performed in S. pyogenes cells to determine gene expression changes when exposed to high levels of zinc. We discovered that a pathway involved in tagatose-6-phosphate metabolism was upregulated when the cells are under zinc stress.

Functional profiling in yeast with zinc-limitation

Project description:Zinc is an essential nutrient because it is a required cofactor for many enzymes and transcription factors. To discover genes and processes in yeast that are required for growth when zinc is limiting, we used genome-wide functional profiling. As a result, we identified over 400 different genes required for optimal growth under zinc-limiting conditions. Among these were several targets of the Zap1 zinc-responsive transcription factor. Their importance is consistent with their up-regulation by Zap1 in low zinc. We also identified genes that implicate Zap1-independent processes as important. These include endoplasmic reticulum function, oxidative stress resistance, vesicular trafficking, peroxisome biogenesis, and chromatin modification. Our studies also indicated the critical role of macroautophagy in low zinc growth. Finally, as a result of our analysis, we discovered a previously unknown role for the ICE2 gene in maintaining ER zinc homeostasis.

proteome saccharomyces cerevisiae by zinc sulfate addition

Project description:High concenHigh concentration acetic acid in the fermentation medium represses cell growth, metabolism and fermentation efficiency of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely used for cellulosic ethanol production. Our previous study proved that supplementation of zinc sulfate in the fermentation medium improved cell growth and ethanol fermentation performance of S. cerevisiae under acetic acid stress condition. However, the molecular mechanisms is still unclear. To explore the underlying mechanism of zinc sulfate protection against acetic acid stress, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis were performed. The changed genes and proteins are related to carbon metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, energy metabolism, vitamin biosynthesis and stress responses. In a total, 28 genes showed same expression in transcriptomic and proteomic data, indicating that zinc sulfate affects gene expression at posttranscriptional and posttranslational levels.tration acetic acid in the fermentation medium represses cell growth, metabolism and fermentation efficiency of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is widely used for cellulosic ethanol production.

Transcription profiling by array of Transcriptional profiling of serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis growing in human blood: an approach to vaccine antigen discovery.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is a nasopharyngeal commensal of humans which occasionally invades the blood to cause septicaemia. The transcriptome of N. meningitidis strain MC58 grown in human blood for up to 4 hours was determined and around 10% of the genome was found to be differentially regulated. The nuo, pet and atp operons, involved in energy metabolism, were up-regulated, while many house-keeping genes were down-regulated. Genes encoding protein chaperones and proteases, involved in the stress response; complement resistant genes encoding enzymes for LOS sialylation and biosynthesis; and fHbp (NMB1870) and nspA (NMB0663), encoding vaccine candidates, were all up-regulated. Genes for glutamate uptake and metabolism, and biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine were also up-regulated. Blood grown meningococci are under stress and undergo a metabolic adaptation and energy conservation strategy. The localisation of four putative outer membrane proteins encoded by genes found to be up-regulated in blood was assessed by FACS using polyclonal mouse antisera, and one (NMB0390) showed evidence of surface expression, supporting its vaccine candidacy.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae 23F treated with PBT2 and zinc

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response uses various chemical insults to control infection, including metal stress mediated by localized changes in zinc abundance. Here, we characterized the impact of S. pneumoniae zinc intoxication revealing disruptions in central carbon metabolism, lipid biogenesis and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. To dysregulate zinc homeostasis in the wild-type strain, we investigated the safe-for-human use ionophore PBT2. PBT2 rendered wild-type S. pneumoniae strains sensitive to a range of antibiotics.

RNA-sequencing of liver tissue from wild type and Gramd1c knockout mice fed with high and low cholesterol diet

Project description:The Aster-C protein (encoded by the Gramd1c gene) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein that has been reported to transport cholesterol from the plasma membrane to the ER . Although there is a clear role for the closely-related Aster-B protein in cholesterol transport and downstream esterification in the adrenal gland, the specific role for Aster-C in tissue cholesterol homeostasis is not well understood. Here, we have examined whole body cholesterol balance in mice globally lacking Aster-C under low or high dietary cholesterol conditions.transport and metabolism under divergent dietary cholesterol conditions. These results strongly suggest that Aster-C alone is not sufficient to control whole body cholesterol balance, but can modestly impact circulating cortisol and bile acid levels when dietary cholesterol is limited.
