A small RNA regulates pprM, a modulator of pleiotropic proteins promoting DNA repair, in Deinococcus radiodurans under ionizing radiation

ABSTRACT: This study explores the regulatory network of a sRNA named PprS (previously Dsr2) in Deinococcus radiodurans R1. We compared the transcriptomes of two strains with and without exposure to 10 kGy acute ionizing radiation (IR): D. radiodurans R1 (wild-type) and a PprS knockdown mutant (PprSKD) that expresses ~2-fold less PprS compared to WT levels. Analysis of this RNAseq dataset demonstrated significant differential expression of several transcripts in both WT (34) and PprSKD (61) strains during recovery from IR. However, we did not observe any significantly differentially expressed transcripts between the two strains during recovery from IR. 31 transcripts were signficantly differentially expressed when comparing the two strains under unirradiated conditions. To determine the regulatory network that this sRNA, PprS could regulate we performed a MAPS (MS2-affinity purification followed by RNAsequencing) experiment in which a MS2-binding domain tagged PprS was expressed from a constutive promoter from a plasmid (pRADgro) in D. radiodurans R1. A control plasmid (containing only the MS2-binding domain) was also expressed and differential enrichment was compared to this control. MAPS suggested ~130 potential interacting transcripts with PprS and we were able to validate the binding and stabilization of one specific transcript, pprM, for PprS.

Project description:Nucleoids have been purified from Deinococcus deserti and Deinococcus radiodurans cells subjected to irradiation and short recovery (six replicates for each strain). The nucleoids have been analyzed by shotgun proteomics as described in Toueille M et al (2012) J Proteomics. Comparative proteomics pointed at specific proteins recruited at the nucleoids during the recovery stage after DNA damages produced by the irradiation. Data processing and bioinformatics: Peak lists were generated with the MASCOT DAEMON software (version 2.2.2) from Matrix Science using the extract_msn.exe data import filter (ThermoFisher) from the Xcalibur FT package (version 2.0.7) from ThermoFisher. Data import filter options were set at: 400 (minimum mass), 5000 (maximum mass), 0 (grouping tolerance), 0 (intermediate scans), and 1000 (threshold). Using the MASCOT search engine (version 2.2.04) from Matrix Science, we searched all MS/MS spectra against in-house polypeptide sequence databases. For Deinococcus radiodurans MS/MS assignments, the database contained i) the sequence of all currently annotated proteins coded by D. radiodurans BAA-816 genome (2629 proteins from chromosome 1 (NC_001263), 368 proteins from chromosome 2 (NC_001264), 130 proteins from plasmid MP1 (NC_000958), and 35 proteins from plasmid CP1 (NC_000958)), ii) 28 manual protein sequence curations from D. radiodurans R1, and iii) 121 additional ORF sequences predicted by the CONSORF consensus prediction system.This database thus comprises 3,311 polypeptide sequences, totaling 1,006,757 amino acids. For Deinococcus deserti MS/MS assignments, the database contained the sequence of all annotated proteins coded by D. deserti VCD115 chromosome and plasmids. This database comprises 3,455 polypeptide sequences, totaling 1,083,334 amino acids. Searches for tryptic peptides were performed with the following parameters: full-trypsin specificity, a mass tolerance of 10 ppm on the parent ion and 0.5 Da on the MS/MS, static modifications of carboxyamidomethylated Cys (+57.0215), and dynamic modifications of oxidized Met (+15.9949). The maximum number of missed cleavages was set at 1. All peptide matches with a peptide score below a stringent P value of 0.001 were filtered by the IRMa 1.18.1 parser. A protein was considered validated when at least two different peptides were detected in the same experiment. False-positives rate for protein identification was estimated using the appropriate decoy database as below 0.1% with these parameters.
