Characterization of the transcriptome of Haloferax volcanii with mixed RNA-Seq

ABSTRACT: Recently a dRNA-Seq study with Haloferax volcanii has been published that led to the discovery of nearly 2800 novel transcription start sites for non-coding RNAs. However, the dRNA-Seq results are confined to the 5'-end of transcripts and does not contain any length information. Therefore, a major aim of the present RNA-Seq study was the elucidation of the lengths of the novel non-coding RNAs. A second aim was to analyze the operon structure of protein-coding genes. The recent dRNA-Seq study was confined to cultures grown under optimal conditions. It was revealed that less than half of the protein-coding genes were expressed. Therefore, the present RNA-Seq study used cultures grown under four different conditions to identify further transcripts of protein-coding genes that are not needed under optimal conditions. RNA samples from the four conditions were mixed prior to the RNA-Seq analyses (mixed RNA-Seq). The results allowed to characterize the sum of transcriptomes of H. volcanii under four conditions. Northern blot analyses were used to characterize selected examples in detail. Many important results were obtained, including the length determination of all transcripts, a genome-wide operon analysis, verification of a high fraction of antisense RNAs, and the discovery that 30% of all protein-coding transcripts have overlapping 3'-UTRs.

Genome-wide maps of primary and processed start-sites of transcripts revealed mechanism controlling in vivo stoichiometry of protein complex in bacteria

Project description:Here a differential mRNA-sequencing (dRNA-Seq) strategy was employed to distinguish transcriptional start-sites (TSs) and post-transcriptional processed sites (PSs) of transcripts in the cellulolytic mesophile Clostridium cellulolyticum. PS-harboring genes usually encode heteromultimeric complexes such as flagella, ribosomes, F-type ATPases, and cellulosomes. Intriguingly, PSs located in intergenic reigons (iPSs) were appear to be associated with a particular set of operons that expressed as a complex ratio, in which stem-loops were often found at upstream and/or downstream of highly-expressed processed transcripts; among operons, the folding free energy (deltaG) of the stem-loops is negatively correlated with polarity in transcript level of the operon. mRNA profiles of C. cellulolyticum H10 grown under three carbon sources in two RNA treatments were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000

Genome-wide identification of transcriptional start sites in the haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii based on differential RNA-Seq (dRNA-Seq)

Project description:Three biological replicates of H. volcanii grown under optimal conditions to mid-exponential growth phase were used to determine the primary transcriptome and map 5â-ends of transcripts. In total, 4,749 potential transcriptional start sites (TSS) were detected. A position weight matrix was derived for promoter prediction, showing that 64% of the TSS were preceded by stringent or relaxed basal promoters. 1,851 TSS belonged to protein-coding genes, showing that less than half (46%) of the 4040 protein-coding genes are expressed under optimal growth conditions. 72% of all protein-coding transcripts were leaderless, underscoring that this is the default pathway for translation initiation in haloarchaea. The 5â-UTRs of transcripts with leaders had a widely varying length distribution without any optimum. 2,898 of the TSS belong to potential non-coding RNAs, representing an unexpectedly high fraction (61%) among all transcripts. 2792 of the non-coding TSS had not been described before and were thus novel (59% of all TSS). A large fraction of the potential novel non-coding transcripts are cis-antisense RNAs (1,244 aTSS). There was a strong negative correlation between the levels of antisense transcripts and cognate sense mRNAs, suggesting that negative regulation of gene expression via antisense RNAs may play an important role in haloarchaea. The other types of novel non-coding transcripts correspond to internal transcripts overlapping with mRNAs (1,153 iTSS) and intergenic small RNA (sRNA) candidates (395 TSS). Three biological replicates were performed with slight differences in library preparation. In each case, part of the sample was treated with terminator 5'-phosphate-dependent exonuclease (+TEX), while part of the sample remained untreated (-TEX). Therefore, in total, six samples were analysed by high-throughput sequencing.

Operon complexity in Rhodobacter capsulatus revealed by integration of dRNA-seq and RNA-seq data

Project description:We report a complex operon architecture for R. capsulatus: operons with multiple TSSs and TTSs, genomic regions of high transcriptional activity and novel transcripts. In addition, we present a new 5' and 3' targeted sequencing method for the Ion Torrent PGM. TEX+ and TEX- indicates if the dRNA-seq library was treated with Terminator 5'-Phosphate-Dependent Exonuclease or not. Treatment with TEX degrades every RNA that does not have a 5'-PPP.

Comprehensive Identification of Soybean Long Non-coding RNAs Reveals a Subset of Small Peptide-Coding Transcripts

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as non-protein-coding transcripts that are at least 200 nucleotides long. They are known to play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression, especially during stress responses in plants. We used a large collection of in-house transcriptome data from various soybean (Glycine max and Glycine soja) tissues treated under different conditions to perform a comprehensive identification of soybean lncRNAs. We also retrieved publicly available soybean transcriptome data that were of sufficient quality and sequencing depth to enrich our analysis. In total, RNA-seq data of 332 samples were used for this analysis. An integrated reference-based, de novo transcript assembly was developed that identified ~69,000 lncRNA gene loci. We showed that lncRNAs are distinct from both protein-coding transcripts and genomic background noise in terms of length, number of exons, transposable element composition, and sequence conservation level across legume species. The tissue-specific and time-specific transcriptional responses of the lncRNA genes under some stress conditions may suggest their biological relevance. The transcription start sites of lncRNA gene loci tend to be close to their nearest protein-coding genes, and they may be transcriptionally related to the protein-coding genes, particularly for antisense and intronic lncRNAs. A previously unreported subset of small peptide-coding transcripts was identified from these lncRNA loci via tandem mass spectrometry, which paved the way for investigating their functional roles. Our results also highlight the current inadequacy of the bioinformatic definition of lncRNA, which excludes those lncRNA gene loci with small open reading frames (ORFs) from being regarded as protein-coding.

Differential RNA-Seq (dRNA-seq) data from Sphingopyxis granuli strain TFA grown in two different carbon sources and RNA-seq from Hfq-coIP experiment.

Project description:We performed differential RNA-sequencing (dRNA-seq) experiments in both minimal medium (MM) plus β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) and MM plus tetralin (THN) of Sphingopyxis granuli strain TFA. The objective was mapping the Transcription Start Site (TSS) of each gene in the genome in both conditions, detecting non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and comparing the gene expression profile in a preferential carbon source (β-HB) versus tetralin (an aromatic pollutant). The dRNA-seq technique consists of using a termination exonuclease (TEX) to allow the discrimination of primary and processed transcripts. Furthermore, to detect Hfq-bound RNAs we co-immunoprecipitated RNA from the wild type strain (negative control) and a TFA strain with an Hfq-3xFlag tagged version (MPO501 strain) using an anti-3xFlag antibody and performed RNA-sequencing from the precipitated RNA.

Condition-Specific Mapping of Operons (COSMO) Using Dynamic and Static Genome Data

Project description:An operon is a set of adjacent genes which are transcribed into a single messenger RNA. Operons allow prokaryotes to efficiently circumvent environmental stresses. It is estimated that about 60% of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome is arranged into operons, which makes them interesting drug targets in the face of emerging drug resistance. We therefore developed COSMO - a tool for operon prediction in M. tuberculosis using RNA-seq data. We analyzed four algorithmic parameters and benchmarked COSMO against two top performing operon predictors. COSMO outperformed both predictors in its accuracy and in its ability to distinguish operons activated under distinct conditions.

Differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) for annotation of transcriptional start sites and small RNAs in Helicobacter pylori

Project description:In this study transcriptional start sites (TSS) for H. pylori 26695 were determined To detect the complement of transcripts expressed from H. pylori, we collected three independent biological replicates (B1 – B3) from 26695 wild type strain grown to mid-exponential (OD 600 ~0.6) phase under microaerophilic conditions at 37°C in BHI medium. For all three samples, total RNA was extracted and subjected to differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) library preparation for primary transcriptome analysis as described previously (Sharma et al., 2010). Specifically, prior to cDNA library construction half of each RNA sample was treated with 5’ terminator exonuclease (+TEX samples), which degrades RNAs containing a 5’-monophosphate (5’-P) and, thus, enriches for primary transcripts containing 5’-triphosphates (5’-PPP). The other half of each sample was left untreated (-TEX samples) and thus contains both primary transcripts (5’-PPP) and processed RNAs (5’-P).

dRNA-seq of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

Project description:We combined high-resolution tiling microarrays and 5'-end RNA sequencing to obtain a genome-wide map of transcription start sites (TSSs) for Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. To test the reliability of these TSSs, we compared our result to those from differential RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq), which discriminates primary and processed ends of transcripts. We found that our identified TSSs tend to have significantly more mapped reads in the TEX(+) sample than the TEX(-) sample. Overall, the dRNA-seq results support the validity of our predictions for TSS. S. oneidensis MR-1 was grown to mid-log phase in Luria-Bertani broth (LB) or defined lactate minimal medium, and total RNA was isolated and used for differential RNA-sequencing (dRNA-seq) by next-generation sequencing, which is used to verify genome-wide transcription start sites. For dRNA-seq, total RNA was partially treated with Terminator Exonuclease (TEX) to digest processed RNA and thereby enrich for primary transcript ends.
