Adaptive Evolution of a Minimal Organism with a Synthetic Genome

ABSTRACT: The bacterial strain JCVI-syn3.0 stands as the first example of a living organism with a minimized synthetic genome, derived from the Mycoplasma mycoides genome and chemically synthesized in vitro. Here we report the experimental evolution of a syn3.0- derived strain. Ten independent replicates were evolved for several hundred generations, leading to growth rate improvements of >15%. Endpoint strains possessed an average of 8 mutations composed of indels and SNPs, with a pronounced C/G->A/T transversion bias. Multiple genes were repeated mutational targets across the independent lineages, including phase variable lipoprotein activation, 5 distinct nonsynonymous substitutions in the same membrane transporter protein, and inactivation of an uncharacterized gene. Transcriptomic analysis revealed an overall tradeoff reflected in upregulated ribosomal proteins and downregulated DNA and RNA related proteins during adaptation. This work establishes the suitability of synthetic, minimal strains for laboratory evolution, providing a means to optimize strain growth characteristics and elucidate gene functionality.

The hallmarks of a tradeoff in transcriptomes that balances stress and growth functions

Project description:Fit phenotypes are achieved through optimal transcriptomic allocation. Here, we performed a high-resolution, multi-scale study of the transcriptomic tradeoff between two key fitness phenotypes, stress response (fear) and growth (greed), in Escherichia coli. We introduced 12 RNA polymerase (RNAP) mutations commonly acquired during adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) and found that single mutations could result in large shifts in this fear vs. greed tradeoff likely through destabilizing the rpoB-rpoC interface. RpoS and GAD regulons drive the fear response while ribosomal proteins and the ppGpp regulon underlie greed. Growth rate selection pressure during ALE results in endpoint strains that universally have RNAP mutations, with synergistic mutations reflective of particular conditions. A phylogenetic analysis found the tradeoff in numerous bacteria species and one archaea species. The results suggest that the tradeoff represents a general principle of transcriptome allocation in bacteria where small genetic changes can result in large phenotypic adaptations to growth conditions.

Biosafety circuits for Mycoplasma - DNA-seq for passages 2, 3 and 15 of clonal Mycoplasma pneumoniae biosafety strains to study long-term stability of kill-switch devices

Project description:We have engineered synthetic gene switches to control and limit Mycoplasma growth for biosafety containment applications. Mycoplasmas have high mutation rates and, the accumulation of mutations that inactivate the circuit is expected. However, the question is how resilient is the kill-switch to mutation and whether it is more sensitive to the accumulation of mutations. Therefore, we did the whole-genome sequencing of the three Mycoplasma biosafety strains, designed in our study, at different passages (p2, p3 and p15) or after IPTG-treatment at passage 3 (p3IPTG)

Array-Based Genomic Comparative Hybridization Analysis of Field Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

Project description:Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia and a major factor in the porcine respiratory disease complex. A clear understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis does not exist although it is clear that M. hyopneumoniae adheres to porcine ciliated epithelium by action of a protein called P97. Previous studies have shown variation in the gene encoding the P97cilium adhesin within different strains of M. hyopneumoniae, but the extent of genetic variation among field strains across the genome is not known. Since M. hyopneumoniae is a worldwide problem, it is reasonable to expect that a wide range of genetic variability may exist given all of the different breed and housing conditions. This variation may impact the overall virulence of a single strain. Using microarray technology, this study examined potential variation of fourteen field strains in comparison to strain 232 on which the array was based. Genomic DNA was obtained, amplified with TempliPhi™, and labeled indirectly with Alexa dyes. Post genomic hybridization, the arrays were scanned and data analyzed using a linear statistical model. Results indicate that genetic variation could be detected in all fourteen field strains but across different loci, suggesting that variation occurs throughout the genome. Fifty-nine percent of the variable loci were hypothetical genes. Twenty-two percent of the lipoprotein genes showed variation in at least one field strain. A permutation test identified a location in M. hyopneumoniae genome where spatial clustering of variability between the field strains and strain 232 exists. Keywords: CGH, Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae

Mycoplasma gallisepticum Lipid Associated Membrane Proteins Up-regulate Inflammatory Genes in Chicken Tracheal Epithelial Cells via TLR-2 Ligation Through an NF-κB Dependent Pathway

Project description:To identify differential gene expression profiles of chicken tracheal epithelial cells (TECs) upon exposure to Mycoplasma gallisepticum virulent strain Rlow and avirulent strain Rhigh and corresponding lipid associated membrane proteins(LAMP) at 1.5 hours in vitro. Goal of this experiment was to identify relative comtribution of LAMPs in up-regulation of inflammatory gene compared to the live strains. Several genes were identified to be differentially regulated in all exposures, but the virulent strain up-regulated more number genes as well as at a higher extent. We identified 6 important inflammatory mediators and did confirmatory RT-qPCR analysis at 1.5, 6 and 24 hours in vitro as well as at 1.5 and 6 hours ex-vivo. RT-qPCR was also employed to identify expression of these 6 genes in presence of different signalling inhibitors and we were able to identify that Mycoplasma gallisepticum LAMPs up-regulate these inflammatory genes via TLR-2 in an NF-κB dependent pathway.

Adaptive evolution under modest thermal stress improves the thermotolerance and ethanol fermentability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Thermotolerance development of robust Saccharomyces cerevisiae is necessary to enhance enzyme activity of cellulase, lower cooling costs, and reduce cell harm from the bad-distributed heat transfer in large-scale fermentation. The process-based studies of adaptive evolution have been well documented, but it remains unknown for the underlying molecular mechanism of the improved thermotolerance and the facilitated ethanol fermentability derived from adaptive evolution. Here, a robust thermotolerant S. cerevisiae Z100 was obtained with significantly improved ethanol fermentability under the stress of high temperature (50 oC) after 91 days’ adaptive evolution. RNA sequencing showed that adaptive evolution and its derived thermotolerance contributed to the unique gene transcriptional landscapes of the evolved strain. An interesting phenomenon was that the gene transcriptional signals of carbon metabolism were strengthened not at 50 oC but at 30 oC in S. cerevisiae Z100, and thus suggested that the improved thermotolerance led to the enhanced ethanol fermentability at 30 oC. The deeply repressed gene transcriptional expression indicated ribosome would be another key thermotolerant mechanism for the evolved strain. This study would provide a robust thermotolerant S. cerevisiae for bioethanol production and an important clue for future synthetic biology to thermotolerance engineering of fermentation strains.

Transcriptional profiling of P. aeruginosa isolated from 3 individuals with cystic fibrosis over time

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronically colonizes the lungs of individuals with CF, where it reaches high cell densities and produces a battery of virulence factors. Upon infection, a single strain of P. aeruginosa can colonize an individual’s lungs throughout his or her lifetime. To understand the evolution of P. aeruginosa during chronic lung infection, we conducted both genotypic and phenotypic analyses on clinical isogenic strains obtained from the lungs of three different individuals with CF. These strains were isolated over a period of approximately ten years and possess phenotypes that are commonly observed in isolates from the CF lung, such as the antibiotic resistant dwarf and mucoid phenotypes. Microarray analyses were carried out on isolates grown in a chemically defined medium that mimics the nutritional environment of the CF lung, synthetic CF sputum medium (SCFM).

Increased Acid Resistance of the Archaeon, Metallosphaera sedula by Adaptive Laboratory Evolution

Project description:Extremely thermoacidophilic members of the Archaea such as the lithoautotroph, Metallosphaera sedula, are among the most acid resistant forms of life and are of great relevance in bioleaching. Here, adaptive laboratory evolution was used to enhance the acid resistance of this organism while genomics and transcriptomics were used in an effort to understand the molecular basis for this trait. Unlike the parental strain, the evolved derivative, M. sedula SARC-M1, grew well at pH of 0.90. Enargite (Cu3AsS4) bioleaching conducted at pH 1.20 demonstrated SARC-M1 leached 23.78% more copper relative to the parental strain. Genome re-sequencing identified two mutations in SARC-M1 including a nonsynonymous mutation in Msed_0408 (an amino acid permease) and a deletion in pseudogene Msed_1517. Transcriptomic studies by RNA-seq of wild type and evolved strains at various low pH values demonstrated there was enhanced expression of genes in M. sedula SARC-M1 encoding membrane complexes and enzymes that extrude protons or that catalyze proton-consuming reactions. In addition, M. sedula SARC-M1 exhibited reduced expression of genes encoding enzymes that catalyze proton-generating reactions. These unique genomic and transcriptomic features of M. sedula SARC-M1 support a model for increased acid resistance arising from enhanced control over cytoplasmic pH. 3 samples were analyzed: 1 control and 2 experimental samples
