RNA-seq of Moraxella catarrhalis CCRI-195ME ModM3 ON and ModM3 OFF phase variants

ABSTRACT: Moraxella catarrhalis contains an N6-adenine DNA-methyltransferase (ModM3), that is subject to phase variable expression (random ON/OFF switching). Phase-variable switching of DNA methyltransferase activity results in the presence or absence of methylation at a specific target sequence, leading to co-ordinated, epigenetically-regulated switching of expression of multiple genes across the genome. The suite of genes thus regulated are known as a phasevarion (phase-variable regulon). Phase variation of modM is mediated at the translational level by a 5′-(CAAC)n-3′ tetranucleotide repeat tract present within its open reading frame (ORF). Analysis of the genomes of 51 M. catarrhalis strains identified six modM alleles (modM1-6) that vary in their target recognition domains. The modM3 allele is also overrepresented in middle ear isolates of M. catarrhalis from children with OM. Here we characterise the genes regulated in the ModM3 phasevarion and show that phase variation of the M.catarrhalis CCRI-195ME ModM3 epigenetically regulates the expression of a phasevarion containing multiple genes that are potentially important in the progression of otitis media.

Gene Expression Profile of Moraxella catarrhalis Grown in Pooled Human Sputum

Project description:Comparison of the gene expression profile of Moraxella catarrhalis grown in the presence of 20% pooled human sputum in chemically-defined medium relative to Moraxella catarrhalis grown in chemically-defined medium alone. Moraxella catarrhalis ATCC43617 was grown to mid-logarithmic phase either in the presence of 20% pooled human sputum in chemically-defined medium or in chemically-defined medium alone. Total RNA was extracted from bacterial cells exposed to each of these conditions and cDNA was generated for CyDye labelling. 3 biologic replicates were generated and each replicate underwent a dye swap (total of 6 experimental data collections). The gene expression profile reported is that of Moraxella catarrhalis grown in the presence of pooled human sputum in a chemically-defined medium relative to Moraxella catarrhalis grown only in the presence of the chemically-defined medium.

A biphasic epigenetic switch controls immunoevasion, virulence and niche adapatation in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae

Project description:Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) contains an N6-adenine DNA-methyltransferase (ModA), that is subject to phase variable expression (random ON/OFF switching). Five modA alleles, modA2, 4, 5, 9 and 10, account for over two-thirds of clinical otitis media isolates surveyed. Single Molecule Real Time (SMRT) methylome analysis identified the DNA recognition motifs for all five of these modA alleles. Phase variation of these alleles regulated multiple proteins, including vaccine candidates. ON/OFF switching of modA alleles resulted in differential regulation of key virulence phenotypes, such as antibiotic resistance (modA2, 5, 10), biofilm formation (modA2) and immunoevasion (modA4). Analysis of the modA2 strain, 723, in the chinchilla model of otitis media showed a clear selection for switching from modA2OFF to ON in the middle ear. This is the first report of a biphasic epigenetic switch controlling bacterial virulence, immunoevasion and niche adaptation in an animal model system Direct comparison of biological triplicates of wild type and mutant strains

Identification of genes essential for Moraxella catarrhalis growth under iron-limiting conditions using Genomic Array Footprinting (GAF)

Project description:Iron-sequestration by the human host is a first line defense against respiratory pathogens like Moraxella catarrhalis, which consequently experiences a period of iron-starvation during colonization and infection. We determined the genetic requirements for M. catarrhalis growth during iron-starvation using the high-throughput genome-wide screening technology genomic array footprinting (GAF). To this end, a large marinerT7 transposon mutant library (~28,000 independent transposon mutants) was grown under iron-limiting conditions, achieved by sequestration of iron by 30 M-BM-5M Desferal (DF30), and under control growth conditions (brain heart infusion broth, DF0). Mutants were recovered at exponential- and the early-stationary growth phase and used for the generation of mutant-specific cDNA probes that were hybridized to custom-designed NimbleGen GAF microarrays. The results described in this study are further discussed in Stefan P.W. de Vries, Peter Burghout, Jeroen D. Langereis, Aldert Zomer, Peter W.M. Hermans, Hester J. Bootsma: Genetic requirements for Moraxella catarrhalis growth under iron-limiting conditions, Molecular Microbiology. cDNA probes generated from mutants recovered during the exponential growth phase, or early-stationary phase under challenge (iron-limiting, DF30) or control conditions (DF0).

Characterization of the molecular interplay between Moraxella catarrhalis and human respiratory tract epithelial cells: Expression response of human phanryngeal epithelial Detroit 562 cells to adherent Moraxella catarrhalis strain BBH18

Project description:During the course of infection, respiratory pathogens like Moraxella catarrhalis needs to adhere to epithelial cells of different host niches such as the nasopharynx and lungs. Consequently, efficient adhesion to epithelial cells is considered an important virulence trait of M. catarrhalis. We examined the interaction between human pharyngeal epithelial Detroit 562 cells and M. catarrhalis BBH18 during adherence using a combination of Tn-seq, a genome-wide negative selection screenings technology, and expression profiling of both host and pathogen. The results described in this study are further discussed in Stefan P.W. de Vries, Marc J. Eleveld, Peter W.M. Hermans, Hester J. Bootsma: Characterization of the molecular interplay between Moraxella catarrhalis and human respiratory tract epithelial cells, submitted.

SWATH-MS proteome of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae showing differential protein expression due to the ModP and ModQ phasevarions

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is responsible for porcine pleuropneumoniae, a severe respiratory disease that causes major global financial losses to the swine industry every year. Phase variation is the random switching of gene expression, either ON-OFF switching of expression, or the expression of multiple allelic protein variants. A number of bacteria encode cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases that are phase-variable. This variable methyltransferase expression leads to global gene expression differences mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. These systems are called phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). In all described cases, phasevarions control expression of current and putative vaccine candidates, and influence phenotypes relevant to pathobiology. We have discovered two new phase-variable Type III DNA methyltransferases in A. pleuropneumoniae, which we named modP and modQ. Sequence analysis of multiple strains showed modP was present as four allelic variants, but just a single allelic variant of modQ was present. Phase-variable expression of modP (modP1 or modP2) and modQ leads to differential protein expression. This SWATH-MS dataset demonstrates the resulting changes to protein expression as a result of the of ModP1, ModP2 and ModQ phasevarions. This dataset represents triplicate repeats from strains which express either ModP or ModQ (ON) and strains which do not (OFF).
