Escherichia coli segments its controls on carbon-dependent gene expression into global and specific regulations

ABSTRACT: We investigated the way global gene expression changed in E. coli correlated with the metabolism of seven carbon substrates chosen to trigger a large panel of metabolic pathways with features varying in: carbon influx flow rate; entry points in the metabolic network; modes of transport. Quantitative coarse-grained expression-pattern analysis demonstrated that the gene expression trend following immediately the reduction of carbon influx flow rate was determined by its initial expression level. Subsequent fine-grained expression-pattern analysis demonstrated that the Crp regulator, associated to a change in growth rate, governed the response of most carbon influx-dependent genes. By contrast, the Cra, Mlc and Fur regulators governed the expression of genes responding to non-glycolytic substrates, glycolytic substrates or PTS (phosphotransferase system) transported sugars following an idiosyncratic way, with the function of each of these regulators being titrated by the metabolism of the corresponding substrates. This work also allowed us to expand the extent of the gene complement regulated by each regulator with additional genes (27 genes in the Crp regulon, 49 genes in the Cra regulon, 1 gene in the Mlc regulon and 2 genes in Fur regulon) and to elucidate the regulatory functions of each regulator comprehensively. Strikingly, Crp and Cra worked in concert to coordinate central carbon metabolism with amino acids biosynthesis. Together, these results demonstrated the power of physiology-based interperation of global data in revealing regulatory networks of bacteria.

Systems approach elucidates convoluted transcriptional regulation on carbon metabolism [RNA-seq]

Project description:The carbon metabolism in bacteria is regulated by two global TFs, CRP and Cra. While the regulon of CRP has been extensively studied, the complete definition of Cra has been missing. Thus, in vivo TF binding measurement with ChIP-exo and transcriptional expression measurement with RNA-seq for Cra was performed to define the Cra regulon.

Integrated analysis of molecular and systems level function of the Crp regulon [RNA-Seq]

Project description:A fundamental goal of biological research is to connect molecular events with macroscopic physiological phenomena. By incorporating a multi-scale approach that accounts for mechanistic properties of promoters and maps those findings to a genome-scale metabolic-regulatory network, the Escherichia coli Crp regulon is revealed, enabling systems analytics to be applied to delineate its governing role in regulating cellular carbon flow. Genome-wide promoter functions were characterized using ChIP-exo elucidating stable intermediates formed during transcription initiation and distinctions between transcriptional activators and repressors. Genome-wide analysis of Crp regulated genes showed a coordinate regulation of catabolism, anabolism, and energy-generating chemiosmotic processes. Examination of the functional state of the reconstructed regulon during growth on multiple substrates revealed a coherent quantitative adjustment of these overall metabolic processes based on substrate quality, revealing the detailed mechanistic basis for the phenomenologically observed homoeostatic response. Thus, a multi-scale relationship from individual molecular mechanisms to physiological properties is established.

Proteomic studies of Escherichia coli CFT073 and MG1655

Project description:Here we dissected a regulatory network directed by the conserved iron homeostasis regulator, Ferric Uptake Regulator (Fur), in uropathogenic E. coli strain CFT073. Comparing anaerobic genome-scale Fur DNA binding, with Fur dependent transcript expression and protein levels of the uropathogen to that of commensal E. coli K-12 strain MG1655, showed that the Fur regulon of the core genome is conserved but also includes genes within the pathogenicity/genetic islands. Unexpectedly, regulons indicative of amino acid limitation and the general stress response were also indirectly activated in the uropathogen fur mutant, suggesting that induction of the Fur regulon increases amino acid demand. Using RpoS levels as a proxy, addition of amino acids mitigated the stress. In addition, iron chelation increased RpoS to the same levels as in the fur mutant. The increased amino acid demand of the fur mutant or iron chelated cells was exacerbated by aerobic conditions, which could be partly explained by the O 2 -dependent synthesis of the siderophore aerobactin, encoded within a pathogenicity island. Taken together, this data suggest in the iron-poor environment of the urinary tract, amino acid availability could play a role in the proliferation of this uropathogen, particularly if there is sufficient O 2 to produce aerobactin.

The Escherichia coli Fur pan-regulon has few conserved but many unique regulatory targets

Project description:While global transcription factors (TFs) have been studied extensively in Escherichia coli model strains, conservation and diversity in TF regulation between strains is still unknown. Here we use a combination of ChIP-exo--to define ferric uptake regulator (Fur) binding sites--and differential gene expression--to define the Fur regulon in nine E. coli strains. We then define a pan-regulon consisting of 469 target genes that includes all Fur target genes in all nine strains. The pan-regulon is then divided into the core regulon (target genes found in all the strains, n=36), the accessory regulon (target found in two to eight strains, n=158) and the unique regulon (target genes found in one strain, n=275). Thus, there is a small set of Fur regulated genes common to all nine strains, but a large number of regulatory targets unique to a particular strain. Many of the unique regulatory targets are genes unique to that strain. This first-established pan-regulon reveals a common core of conserved regulatory targets and significant diversity in transcriptional regulation amongst E. coli strains, reflecting diverse niche specification and strain history.

Transcriptional analysis of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae Fur regulon

Project description:In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein regulates iron homeostasis gene expression through binding to conserved sequences in promoters of iron-responsive genes. We have expanded the gonococcal Fur regulon using a custom microarray to monitor iron-responsive gene expression throughout the growth curve combined with a genome-wide in silico analysis to predict Fur boxes (FB), and in vivo FuRTA assays to detect genes able to bind Fur.

Reconstruction of a Pan-regulon for Fur uncovers the conservation of its transcriptional regulation in E. coli

Project description:Regulons for many transcription factors have been elucidated in model strains leading to an understanding of their role in producing physiological states. Comparative analysis of a regulon and its target genes between different strains of the same species is lacking. Ferric uptake regulator (Fur), involved in iron homeostasis, is one of the most conserved TFs, and is present in a wide range of bacteria. Using ChIP-exo experiments, we performed a comprehensive study of Fur binding sites in nine Escherichia coli strains with different lifestyles. 79 of the 431 target genes (18%) found belong to Fur’s core regulon, comprising genes involved in ion transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion, and amino acid metabolism and transport. 179 of the target genes (42%) comprise the accessory regulon, most of which were related to cell wall structure and biogenesis, and virulence factor pathways. The remaining target genes (173 or 40%) were in the unique regulon, with gene functions that were largely unknown. Furthermore, deletion of the fur gene led to distinct phenotypes in growth, motility, antibiotic resistance, and siderophore production. These results provide a more complete understanding of how Fur regulates a set of target genes with surprising variation in closely related bacteria.
