RNase and sRNA activity in Brucella abortus

ABSTRACT: Isogenic deletion and truncation of specific genes encoding RNases in Brucella abortus were analyzed for changes in gene expression. The main goal of this work is to determine the mRNAs that exhibit dysregulation when small regulatory RNAs (i.e., Bsr8) or RNases (i.e., RNaseE and RNaseJ) are invactivated in Brucella abortus. Small regulatory RNAs often control gene expression by binding directly to mRNAs to block translation or induce their degradation, and RNA from a deletion of one sRNA gene, bsr8, was analyzed to uncover the mRNAs that may be controlled by BsrB. RNases are enzymes that cleave RNAs during processing, turnover, and regulatory events, and RNaseE and RNaseJ appear to be important for B. abortus virulence. Therefore, to determine the mRNAs potentially targetd by these RNases, RNA from a strain harboring a RNaseE truncation and a strain carrying a deletion of rnaseJ were analyzed. In the end, the objective of this study was to gain insight into the regulatory patterns of specific B. abortus sRNAs and RNases.

Proteomic Analysis of Stationary Growth Stage and Nutritional Deficiency Adaptation Reveals Brucella Abortus Virulence Mechanisms

Project description:Brucellosis, an important bacterial zoonosis caused by Brucella species, has drawn increased attention around the world. As an intracellular pathogen, the ability of Brucella to deal with stress within the host cell is closely related to its virulence. The survival pressure on Brucella within a phagosome is considered similar to that during the stationary phase. Here, label-free proteomics approach was used to study the adaptive response of Brucella abortus (B. abortus) in the stationary stage. 182 down-regulated and 140 up-regulated proteins were found in the stationary-phase B. abortus. B. abortus adapted to adverse environmental changes by regulating virulence, reproduction, transcription, translation, stress response, and energy production. In addition, both logarithmic and stationary-phase B. abortus were treated with short-term starvation. The logarithmic-phase B. abortus restricted cell reproduction and energy utilization in response to nutritional stress. Additionally, the expression levels of some virulence-related proteins were identified as being significantly regulated during the transition from logarithmic to stationary phase or under starvation treatment, such as Type IV secretion system protein (T4SS), VjbR, and integration host factor (IHF). Altogether, we outlined adaptive mechanisms that B. abortus could employ during the growth and compared the differences between logarithmic and stationary-phase B. abortus in response to starvation.

Expression Data from Brucella abortus strain 2308 and isogenic mucR mutant cells

Project description:MucR is one of the few transcriptional regulatory proteins that has been linked to Brucella pathogenesis. We used custom-made Affymetrix B. abortus strain 2308 derived GeneChips to copare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic mucR mutant cells. B. abortus strain 2308 or mucR mutant cells were grown to stationary phase growth, total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the regulatory effects of MucR.

Microarray Analysis of mRNA Levels from RAW264.7 Macrophages Infected with Brucella abortus

Project description:Identification of host responses at the gene transcription level provides a molecular profile of the events that occur following infection. Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular pathogen of macrophages that induces chronic infection in humans and domestic animals. Using microarray technology, the response of macrophages 4 hours following B. abortus infection was analyzed to identify early intracellular infection events that occur in macrophages. Of the more than 6,000 genes, we identified over 140 genes that were reproducibly differentially transcribed. First, an increase in the transcription of a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-1α, and members of the SCY family of proteins, was evident that may constitute a general host recruitment of antibacterial defenses. Alternatively, Brucella may subvert newly arriving macrophages for additional intracellular infection. Second, transcription of receptors and cytokines associated with antigen presentation, e.g., MHC class II and IL-12p40, were not evident at this 4 hour period of infection. Third, Brucella inhibited transcription of various host genes involved in apoptosis, cell cycling, and intracellular vesicular trafficking. Identification of macrophage genes whose transcription was inhibited suggests that Brucella utilizes specific mechanisms to target certain cell pathways. In conclusion, these data suggest that B. abortus can alter macrophage pathways to recruit additional macrophages for future infection while simultaneously inhibiting apoptosis and innate immune mechanisms within the macrophage permitting intracellular survival of the bacterium. These results provide insights into the pathogenic strategies used by Brucella to survive long-term within a hostile environment.
