Project description:Self-assembly of proteins into complexes with defined stoichiometry and organization is fundamental to the structure and functionality of many molecular machines in biology. Some enteric bacteria including Salmonella have evolved the propanediol-utilizing microcompartment (Pdu MCP), a specialized proteinaceous organelle that is essential for 1,2-propanediol degradation and enteric pathogenesis. Pdu MCPs are a family of bacterial microcompartments that are self-assembled from thousands of protein molecules within the bacterial cytosol. Inside the Pdu MCP, several catalytical enzymes and cofactors involved in reactions for metabolizing 1,2-propanediol are encapsulated in a semi-permeable protein shell that comprises multi-subunit proteins in hexameric, pentameric, and trimeric states. Here, we seek a comprehensive understanding of the stoichiometric composition and organization of Pdu MCPs. We obtain accurate stoichiometry of shell proteins and internal enzymes of the natural Pdu MCP by QconCAT-driven quantitative mass spectrometry. Genetic deletion of the major shell protein and absolute stoichiometry analysis reveal the stoichiometric and structural remodeling of Pdu MCPs. Our new knowledge about the protein stoichiometry leads us to propose a model of the Pdu metabolosome structure. Moreover, atomic force microscopy of Pdu MCPs at the near-physiological condition illustrates the inherent flexibility of the Pdu MCP structure and the key role of cargo enzymes in maintaining mechanical stiffness of the biological architecture. These structural insights into the Pdu MCP will be critical for both delineating the general principles underlying bacterial organelle formation, structural robustness and function, and repurposing natural microcompartments using synthetic biology for biotechnological applications.

Project description:The quiescent center (QC) plays an essential role during root development by creating a microenvironment that preserves the stem cell fate of its surrounding cells. Strikingly, in order to retain root structure, QC cells only occasionally self-renew, displaying a proliferation rate far below that of all other cells within the root meristem. Previously, the APC/CCCS52A2 ubiquitine ligase and brassinosteroid signaling pathways have been found to antagonistically control Arabidopsis thaliana QC cell proliferation. Here, we demonstrate that both pathways converge on the ERF115 transcription factor that acts as a rate-limiting factor of QC cell division through transcriptional control of the autocrine phytosulfokine PSK5 peptide hormone. ERF115 marks QC cell division but is restrained through proteolysis by the APC/CCCS52A2 ubiquitine ligase, whereas QC proliferation is driven by brassinosteroid-dependent ERF115 expression. Combined, these two antagonistic mechanisms delimit the ERF115-PSK5 activity and QC renewal. Our results reveal a unique cell cycle regulatory mechanism that accounts for the low proliferation rate of QC cells within a surrounding population of highly mitotic active cells.

Project description:Genomic and behavioral investigations were performed to determine the effects of a mutation in a Drosophila soluble guanylyl cyclase gene. A mutant DGCalpha1[3] third chromosome was crossed into a natural rover (for[R]) or natural sitter (for[s]) genetic background. (See Osborne et al. 1997; PMID: 9242616.) First instar larvae were collected and grown on 60mm Petri plates containing 10 mL of food until mid-third instar. (Approximate density was 3 animals per mL food). Larvae were collected and washed quickly with distilled water and were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Co-reared larvae were tested for behavioural effects. Four independent collections were made for each of the two conditions (Rover_DGCalpha1[3] or sitter_DGCalpha1[3]).

Project description:To identify the immunological status of the persistent and chronic stages, we analysed immunological genes in lung tissues from mice infected with M. tuberculosis. Based on the cDNA microarray results, 11 candidate cytokine genes, which were obviously up-regulated during the chronic stage compared with those during the persistent stage, were selected and clustered into three groups: 1) chemokine genes, except those of monocyte chemoattractant proteins (MCPs) (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CCL5, CCL19); 2) MCP genes (CCL2, CCL7, CCL8, CCL12); and 3) TNF and IFN-γ genes. Results from the cDNA microarray and quantitative RT-PCR analyses revealed that the mRNA expression of the selected cytokine genes was significantly higher in lung tissues of the chronic stage than of the persistent stage. Three chemokines (CCL5, CCL19 and CXCL9) and three MCPs (CCL7, CCL2 and CCL12) were noticeably increased in the chronic stage compared with the persistent stage.
