Sequence-dependent model of genes with dual σ factor preference

ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli uses σ factors to quickly control large gene cohorts during stress conditions. While most of its genes respond to a single σ factor, approximately 5% of them have dual σ factor preference. The most common are those responsive to both σ70, which controls housekeeping genes, and σ38, which activates genes during stationary growth and stresses. Using RNA-seq and flow-cytometry measurements, we show that ‘σ70+38 genes’ are nearly as upregulated in stationary growth as ‘σ38 genes’. Moreover, we find a clear quantitative relationship between their promoter sequence and their response strength to changes in σ38 levels. We then propose and validate a sequence dependent model of σ70+38 genes, with dual sensitivity to σ38 and σ70, that is applicable in the exponential and stationary growth phases, as well in the transient period in between. We further propose a general model, applicable to other stresses and σ factor combinations. Given this, promoters controlling σ70+38 genes (and variants) could become important building blocks of synthetic circuits with predictable, sequence-dependent sensitivity to transitions between the exponential and stationary growth phases.

Stationary phase stimulon and CspC regulon

Project description:The cold shock proteins belong to a family of RNA binding proteins presenting a highly conserved domain, called cold shock domain (CSD). They are involved in various cellular processes, including adaptation to low temperature, nutritional stress, cell growth and stationary phase. Here we investigate the role of CspC in C. crescentus stationary phase and the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation by this protein. A global transcriptional profiling experiment comparing cspC and the wild type strain both at exponential and stationary phases was carried out. The results showed that the absence of cspC affected the transcription of 20 genes at exponential phase and 65 genes at stationary phase. Genes encoding enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle were severely downregulated in the mutant at stationary phase. The stationary phase-induced RNA binding protein CspC has an important role in gene expression at this phase. It is required for the expression of the essential gene sciP, the ECF sigma factor sigU, as well as of the genes for the glyoxylate cycle enzymes and for oxidative stress response.

Proteins of anti-sigma70 and anti-RNAP immunoprecipitates in bacteria

Project description:As part of the project aimed at the interaction of RNA with RNA polymerase and primary sigma factor in bacteria we analyzed anti-σ70 antibody immunoprecipitates from Mycobacterium smegmatis stationary phase to identify proteins in σA complex in non-treated cells. We performed mass spectrometry analysis of anti-σ70 antibody and anti-RNAP immunoprecipitates from Corynebacterium glutamicum stationary phase to identify proteins present in σA and RNAP complexes.

Defining the impact of exoribonucleases in the shift between exponential and stationary phases

Project description:The transition between exponential and stationary phase is a natural phenomenon for all bacteria and requires a massive readjustment of the bacterial transcriptome. Exoribonucleases are key enzymes in the transition between the two growth phases. PNPase, RNase R and RNase II are the major degradative exoribonucleases in Escherichia coli. We analysed the whole transcriptome of exponential and stationary phases from the WT and mutants lacking these exoribonucleases (Δpnp, Δrnr, Δrnb, and ΔrnbΔrnr). When comparing the cells from exponential phase with the cells from stationary phase more than 1000 transcripts were differentially expressed, but only 491 core transcripts were common to all strains. There were some differences in the number and transcripts affected depending on the strain, suggesting that exoribonucleases influence the transition between these two growth phases differently. Interestingly, we found that the double mutant RNase II/RNase R is similar to the RNase R single mutant in exponential phase while in stationary phase it seems to be closer to the RNase II single mutant. This is the first global transcriptomic work comparing the roles of exoribonucleases in the transition between exponential and stationary phase.

Growth-phase dependent gene regulation in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Project description:Global transcriptome analyses at different stages of growth were applied to monitor growth phase-dependent gene expression in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Low aerated cultures with strong changes in levels of dissolved oxygen during growth, were compared to aerated cultures showing little variation in oxygen levels. Cells were in stationary phase for 12 h or for 57 h before dilution into fresh medium. The majority of genes (78-86%) were not differentially expressed across growth phases. Gene expression in outgrowth phase was strongly influenced by the length of the preceding stationary phase. After 57 h in stationary phase a much larger number of genes was induced after dilution, 39% of which are known to be controlled by the alternative sigma factors RpoHI and/or RpoHII. Growth experiments with mutant strains assign an important function in stationary phase and especially in outgrowth to these sigma factors and genes for both sigma factors showed growth phase-dependent expression. Besides the known consensus sequences for the RpoH sigma factors, some new consensus sequences were identified in subsets of growth phase-dependent genes. Genes for several predicted regulatory proteins exhibited growth phase-specific expression implying a role in growth phase adaptation in alpha-proteobacteria, which needs verification in the future.

Growth-phase dependent gene regulation in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Project description:Global transcriptome analyses at different stages of growth were applied to monitor growth phase-dependent gene expression in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Cultures with low aeration, which underwent strong changes in levels of dissolved oxygen during growth, were compared to aerated cultures, which showed little variation in levels of dissolved oxygen. Cells were in stationary phase for 12 h or for 57 h before dilution into fresh medium. While the majority of genes (80-85%) are not differentially expressed across growth phases, other genes exhibited growth phase-dependent expression patterns. Gene expression in outgrowth phase was strongly influenced by the length of the preceding stationary phase. After 57 h in stationary phase a much larger number of genes was induced after dilution, 35% of which are known to be controlled by the alternative sigma factors RpoHI and/or RpoHII. Growth experiments with mutant strains assign an important function in stationary phase and especially in outgrowth to these sigma factors and genes for both sigma factors showed growth phase-dependent expression. Besides the known consensus sequences for the RpoH sigma factors, some new consensus sequences were identified in subsets of growth phase-dependent genes suggesting regulation by common transcription factors.

Identification of reference genes for quantitative Real-Time PCR in Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010 based on transcriptome analysis

Project description:In this study, we investigated the transcriptome of Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010 during in vitro growth by micro array technology. When B. bifidum PRL2010 was grown in liquid broth, 425 of the 1644 PRL2010 genes represented on the array were expressed in at least one of the three investigated growth phases, i.e., lag-, exponential and stationary phase. These transcriptional analyses identified a core in vitro transcriptome encompassing 150 genes, which resulted expressed in all phases. A proportion of the latter genes were further investigated as potential reference genes by Quantitative Real Time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays. Their expression stability was evaluated under different growth conditions, encompassing cultivation on different carbon sources, exposure to environmental stresses (thermal, acidic and osmotic) and growth phases. Our analyses validated six reference genes suitable for normalizing mRNA expression levels in qRT-PCR experiments applied to bifidobacteria. Transcriptional profiling of B.bifidum PRL2010 at different growth phases (lag phase, early exponential phase, late exponential phase, early stationary phase).
