ABSTRACT: Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster containing proteins are a subset of proteins with crucial functions in the maintenance of cellular physiology throughout all kingdoms of life. The systems involved in the biogenesis and repair of Fe-S clusters hence plays important role in fine-tuning the availability and functionality of Fe-S proteins. Two of the systems known in bacteria are, Isc and Suf. Compared to the facultative anaerobe, E. coli, which codes for the two multi-genic Fe-S biogenesis systems; Mtb Fe-S biogenesis machinery is skewed with a multi-genic Suf system (sufRBDCSUT) and a single gene of Isc system (iscS). Several Fe-S proteins are deployed by Mtb to maintain cellular homeostasis and survival in a hostile host environment. Hence, we determine the transcriptome of Mtb on depletion of the two key enzymes of Fe-S biogenesis- IscS and sufS, that could help understand the role and regulation between the two systems in the human pathogen Mtb.

Project description:RyhB is a non-coding RNA regulated by the Fur repressor. It has previously been shown to cause the rapid degradation of a number of mRNAs that encode proteins that utilize iron. Here we examine the effect of ectopic RyhB production on global gene expression by microarray analysis. Many of the previously identified targets were found, as well as other mRNAs encoding iron-binding proteins, bringing the total number of regulated operons to at least 18, encoding 56 genes. The two major operons involved in Fe-S cluster assembly showed different behavior; the isc operon appears to be a direct target of RyhB action, while the suf operon does not. This is consistent with previous findings suggesting that the suf genes but not the isc genes are important for Fe-S cluster synthesis under iron-limiting conditions, presumably for essential iron-binding proteins. In addition, we observed repression of Fur-regulated genes upon RyhB expression, interpreted as due to intracellular iron-sparing resulting from reduced synthesis of iron-binding proteins. Our results demonstrate the broad effects of a single non-coding RNA on iron homeostasis. Experiment Overall Design: Derivatives of MG1655 carrying either pBAD-ryhB or the control vector pNM12 were used in all experiments. Experiment Overall Design: The strains used contain the (delta)ara714 allele to prevent catabolism of arabinose and the (delta)ryhB::cat allele to restrict RyhB expression to the inducible pBAD-ryhB vector. Experiment Overall Design: Overnight bacterial cultures were incubated in LB media with ampicillin at a final concentration of 50 ug/mL at 37oC and diluted 1000-fold into 50 mL of fresh LB-ampicillin media at 37oC with agitation. To induce RyhB expression, cultures carrying the pBAD-ryhB construct were grown to an O.D.600 of 0.5 and arabinose was added to the culture at a final concentration of 0.1%. In some experiments, 50 uM FeSO4 was added to the new culture after dilution from overnight culture. Total RNA was extracted from cells at the indicated time using the hot phenol procedure.

Project description:Background & Aims: Hierarchical organization of intestine relies on their stem cells by self-renew and producing committed progenitors. Although signals like Wnt are known to animate the continued renewal by maintaining intestinal stem cells (ISCs) activity, molecular mechanisms especially E3 ubiquitin ligases that modulate ISCs ‘stemness’ and supportive niche have not been well understood. Here, we investigated the role of Cullin 4B (Cul4b) in regulating ISC functions. Methods: We generated mice with intestinal epithelial-specific disruption of Cul4b (pVillin-cre; Cul4bfn/Y), inducible disruption of Cul4b (Lgr5-creERT2; Cul4bfn/Y, CAG-creERT2; Cul4bfn/Y) and their control (Cul4bfn/Y). Intestinal tissues were analyzed by histology, immunofluorescence, RNA sequencing and mass spectrum. Intestinal organoids deprived from mice with pVillin-Cre; Cul4bfn/Y, Lgr5-Cre; Cul4bfn/Y, Tg-Cul4b and their controls were used in assays to measure intestinal self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation. Wnt signaling and intestinal markers were analyzed by immunofluorescence and immunoblot assays. Differential proteins upon Cul4b ablation or Cul4b-interacting proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. Results: Cul4b specifically located at ISCs zone. Block of Cul4b impaired intestinal homeostasis maintenance by reduced self-renewal and proliferation. Transcriptome analysis revealed that Cul4b-null intestine lose ISC characterization and showed disturbed ISC niche. Mechanistically, reactivated Wnt pathway could recover intestinal dysfunction of Cul4b knockout mice. Analysis of differential total and ubiquitylated proteins uncovered the novel targeting substrate of Cullin-Ring ubiquitin ligase 4b (CRL4b), immunity-related GTPase family M member 1 (Irgm1) in intestine. Decreased Irgm1 rescued abnormally interferon signaling, overemphasized autophagy and downstream phosphate proteins in Cul4b knockout mice. Conclusion: We conclude that Cul4b is essential for ISC self-renewal and Paneth cell function by targeting Irgm1 and modulating Wnt signaling. Our results demonstrate that Cul4b is a novel ISC stemness and niche regulator.
