Systematic identification of metabolites controlling gene expression in E. coli

ABSTRACT: Cellular metabolism controls gene expression through allosteric interactions between metabolites and transcription factors. Methods to detect these regulatory interactions are mostly based on in vitro binding assays, but there are no methods to identify them at a genome-scale in vivo. Here we show that dynamic transcriptome and metabolome data identify metabolites that are potential effectors of transcription factors in E. coli. By switching the culture conditions between starvation and growth for 20 hours, we induced strong metabolite concentration changes and accompanying gene expression changes, which were measured by LC-MS/MS and RNA sequencing. From the transcriptome data we calculated the activity of 209 transcriptional regulators with Network Component Analysis, and then tested which metabolites correlated with these activities. This approach captured, for instance, the in vivo Hill-kinetics of CRP regulation by cyclic-AMP, a canonical example of allosteric transcription factor regulation in E. coli. By testing correlations between all pairs of transcription factors and metabolites, we predicted putative effectors of 65 transcription factors, and validated five of them in vitro. These results show that the combination of transcriptomics and metabolomics can generate hypotheses about metabolism-transcription interactions that are relevant in vivo and drive transitions between physiological states.

Systematic identification of metabolites controlling gene expression in E. coli

Project description:Metabolism controls gene expression through allosteric interactions between metabolites and transcription factors. These interactions are usually measured with in vitro assays, but there are no methods to identify them at a genome-scale in vivo. Here we show that dynamic transcriptome and metabolome data identify metabolites that control transcription factors in E. coli. By switching an E. coli culture between starvation and growth, we induce strong metabolite concentration changes and gene expression changes. Using Network Component Analysis we calculate the activities of 209 transcriptional regulators and correlate them with metabolites. This approach captures, for instance, the in vivo kinetics of CRP regulation by cyclic-AMP. By testing correlations between all pairs of transcription factors and metabolites, we predict putative effectors of 71 transcription factors, and validate five interactions in vitro. These results show that combining transcriptomics and metabolomics generates hypotheses about metabolism-transcription interactions that drive transitions between physiological states.

Multi-omics analysis of CRISPRi-knockdowns identifies mechanisms that buffer decreases of enzymes in E. coli metabolism

Project description:Enzymes maintain metabolism and their concentration affects cellular fitness. High enzyme-levels are costly, but low enzyme-levels can limit metabolic flux. Here, we used CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) to study the consequences of decreasing metabolic enzymes in E. coli below wild-type levels. A time-resolved competition assay with a metabolism-wide CRISPRi library showed that fitness defects appeared late after induction of knockdowns. This suggested that metabolism is robust against decreases of enzymes. The metabolome and proteome of 30 CRISPRi strains revealed the mechanisms that enabled this robustness. First, substrates and allosteric effectors buffered knockdowns by increasing the activity of target-enzymes. Later, metabolite-transcription interactions compensated knockdowns by upregulating the target-pathway or bypass-pathways. For example, we found a new regulation strategy in which 6-phosphogluconate is responsible for bypassing bottlenecks in the pentose-p pathway via the Entner-Doudoroff-pathway. Thus, regulatory metabolites buffer decreases of enzyme-levels, which can occur in nature due to expression noise, mutations or environmental conditions.

A chromatin immunoprecipitation database for prokarytic organisms [Escherichia coli]

Project description:Bacterial transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression to adapt to changing environments; when combined, the TF’s regulatory actions comprise transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs). The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay is the major contemporary method for mapping in vivo protein-DNA interactions in the genome. It enables the genome-wide study of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) and gene regulation. Here, we present the genome-wide binding for major TFs in E. coli K-12 MG1655.
