Co-transcriptional association of Hfq and Crc with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 genome

ABSTRACT: Hfq is an RNA chaperone and an important post-transcriptional regulator in bacteria. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation together with DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq), we show that Hfq associates with hundreds of different regions of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosome. These associations are abolished when transcription is inhibited, indicating they reflect Hfq binding to transcripts during their synthesis. Analogous ChIP-Seq analyses with the post-transcriptional regulator Crc reveal that it associates with many of the same nascent transcripts as Hfq, an activity we show is Hfq dependent. Our findings indicate that Hfq binds many transcripts co-transcriptionally in P. aeruginosa, often in concert with Crc, and uncover direct regulatory targets of these proteins. They also highlight a general approach for studying the interactions of RNA-binding proteins with nascent transcripts in bacteria. The binding of post-transcriptional regulators to nascent mRNAs may represent a prevalent means of controlling translation in bacteria where transcription and translation are coupled.

Widespread targeting of nascent transcripts by RsmA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa RsmA is an RNA-binding protein that plays critical roles in the control of virulence, interbacterial interactions and biofilm formation. Although RsmA is thought to exert its regulatory effects by binding full-length transcripts, the extent to which RsmA binds nascent transcripts has not been addressed. Moreover, which transcripts are direct targets of this key post-transcriptional regulator is largely unknown. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput DNA sequencing, with cells grown in the presence and absence of the RNA polymerase inhibitor rifampicin, we identify hundreds of nascent transcripts that RsmA associates with in P. aeruginosa. We also find that the RNA chaperone Hfq targets a subset of the RsmA-associated nascent transcripts and that the two RNA-binding proteins can exert regulatory effects on common targets. Our findings establish that RsmA associates with many transcripts as they are being synthesized in P. aeruginosa, identify the direct targets of RsmA, and suggest that RsmA and Hfq may act in a combinatorial fashion on certain target transcripts. More broadly, our data suggest that the binding of post-transcriptional regulators to nascent transcripts may be commonplace in bacteria where distinct regulators can function alone or in concert to achieve control over the translation of transcripts as soon as they emerge from RNA polymerase.

Conditional Hfq association with small non-coding RNAs in Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed through comparative UV crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Bacterial small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) play post-transcriptional regulatory roles in cellular responses to changing environmental cues and in adaptation to harsh conditions. Generally, the RNA-binding protein Hfq helps sRNAs associate with target mRNAs to modulate their translation and to modify global RNA pools depending on physiological state. Here, a combination of in vivo UV crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) and total RNA-seq showed that Hfq interacts with different regions of the P. aeruginosa transcriptome under planktonic versus biofilm conditions. In the present approach, P. aeruginosa Hfq preferentially interacted with repeats of the AAN triplet motif at mRNA 5’ UTRs and sRNAs, and U-rich sequences at rho-independent terminators. Further transcriptome analysis suggested that sRNAs association with Hfq is primarily a function of their expression levels, strongly supporting that the pool of Hfq-associated RNAs is equilibrated by RNA concentration-driven cycling on and off Hfq. Overall, our combinatorial CLIP-seq and total RNA-seq approach highlights conditional sRNA associations with Hfq as a novel aspect of post-transcriptional regulation in P. aeruginosa.

Detailed map of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Crc regulon using a new parameter for tracking post-transcriptional regulation

Project description:Bacterial physiology in general and the bacterial response to the presence of nutrients and to external signals in particular is regulated at different levels, from mRNA synthesis to translational regulation and protein modification. However, there are not standardized parameters for defining post-transcriptional regulation. Herein, we propose a simple parameter, dubbed post-transcriptional variation (PTV), that allow extracting information on translational regulation from the combined analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic data. We have applied this parameter for precisely defining the regulon of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa post-transcriptional regulator Crc. P. aeruginosa is a free-living microorganism that, besides colonizing a diversity of environmental habitats, is able to infect a large number of patients at hospitals. Part of the ability of P. aeruginosa for colonizing such a variety of habitats relies on its capability of using a large number of carbon sources. This hierarchical assimilation is regulated by Crc, which together with Hfq, binds its target RNA impeding their translation when catabolite repression is triggered. Most studies cannot provide information on post-transcriptional regulation when analysed independently. Using the defined PTV parameter, we present a comprehensive map of the Crc post-transcriptional regulon.

RNA-sequencing data from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 wild-type and Hfq-tagged strain form co-immunoprecipitation experiment

Project description:The RNA-chaperone Hfq is a global post-transcriptional regulator in Bacteria, important especially for the fine-tuning of the gene expression when the environmental conditions change. We looked into sRNAome during the growth of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and compared it to a strain without Hfq protein. Numerous sRNAs were upregulated at a specific point during the growth and many were affected in the Hfq absence. Further we identified Hfq-binding RNA transcripts with co-immunoprecipitation and experimentally validated 17 sRNAs. Many novel Hfq-binding sRNAs were identified and are directly or indirectly regulated by Hfq. In addition 1870 mRNAs were found to bind to Hfq during the growth. Together, 202 antisense and 355 intergenic sRNAs have been detected in this study, several of them being 3’UTR- or 5’UTR-derived, and IS-related.

Influence of the Hfq and Crc global regulators on the control of iron homeostasis in Pseudomonas putida

Project description:Metabolically versatile bacteria use catabolite repression control to select their preferred carbon sources, thus optimizing carbon metabolism. In pseudomonads, this occurs through the combined action of the proteins Hfq and Crc, which form stable tripartite complexes at target mRNAs, inhibiting their translation. The activity of Hfq/Crc is antagonised by small RNAs of the CrcZ family, the amounts of which vary according to carbon availability. The present work examines the role of Pseudomonas putida Hfq protein under conditions of low-level catabolite repression, in which Crc protein would have a minor role since it is sequestered by CrcZ/CrcY. The results suggest that, under these conditions, Hfq remains operative and plays an important role in iron homeostasis. In this scenario, Crc appears to participate indirectly by helping CrcZ/CrcY to control the amount of free Hfq in the cell. Iron homeostasis in pseudomonads relies on regulatory elements such as the Fur protein, the PrrF1-2 sRNAs, and several extracytoplasmic sigma factors. Our results show that the absence of Hfq is paralleled by a reduction in PrrF1-2 small RNAs. Hfq thus provides a regulatory link between iron and carbon metabolism, coordinating the iron supply to meet the needs of the enzymes operational under particular nutritional regimes.

Fraction-wise RNA-seq of the Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 cell lysate resolved on a 10-40% glycerol gradient

Project description:While many general RNA-binding proteins have been described in eukaryotes, the small RNA chaperone Hfq and the translational regulator CsrA remain the only known global RNA-associated cofactors involved in the bacterial post-transcriptional gene expression control. Here, using an RNA-seq-based analysis of the biochemically partitioned ensemble of cellular RNAs, we uncovered a large group of transcripts that interact with the RNA-binding protein ProQ in Salmonella enterica. We show that ProQ is a conserved abundant protein with a wide range of targets, including a new class of ProQ-associated small RNAs, and predicted functions in many cellular pathways. ProQ preferentially associates with highly structured RNAs, filling the so-far vacant niche of a global double-stranded RNA-binding protein and expanding the range of the post-transcriptional regulation in bacteria." This dataset is a representative experiment carried out to characterize sedimentation properties of bacterial transcripts genome-wide. Downstream analysis of their sedimentation profiles enables their biochemical classification and is a prerequisite for identification of global RNA-binding proteins.

Expression data from wildtype Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm1021 and an hfq mutant

Project description:The RNA-binding protein Hfq is a global regulator, which controls diverse cellular processes in bacteria. To begin understanding the role of Hfq in the Sinorhizobium meliloti-Medicago truncatula nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, we defined free-living and symbiotic phenotypes of an hfq mutant. Over 500 transcripts were differentially accumulated in the hfq mutant of S. meliloti Rm1021 when grown in a shaking culture. Gene expression profiling of Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm1021 or its isogenic hfq deletion mutant, grown to late exponential phase in rich medium, was performed using custom Affymetrix GeneChips.
