Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 etrA deletion mutant strain expression profiling determines fine-tuning regulatory role in anaerobic metabolism

ABSTRACT: Comparisson of expression profiling of a etrA deletion mutant strain (experimental sample) with that of the wild type Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 strain to assess global direct/indirect genetic regulation EtrA in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 shares 73.6% and 50.8% amino acid sequence identity with the oxygen-sensing regulator Fnr in E. coli and Anr in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively; however, its regulatory role of anaerobic metabolism in Shewanella spp. is complex and not well understood. Whole-genome expression profiling using a etrA gene deletion mutant as the experimental sample and the wild type strain as the reference, determine that EtrA fine-tunes the expression of genes involved in various anaerobic metabolic pathways, including nitrate, fumarate and dimethyl sulfoxide reduction. Moreover, genes involved in prophage activation and and genes implicated in aerobic metabolism were also differentially expressed. In contrast to previous studies that attributed a minor regulatory role to EtrA in Shewanella spp., this study demonstrates that EtrA acts as a global transcriptional regulator and cofers physiological advantages to the strain under certain growth conditions.

Project description:Pinchuck2010 - Genome-scale metabolic network of Shewanella oneidensis (iSO783) This model is described in the article: Constraint-based model of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 metabolism: a tool for data analysis and hypothesis generation. Pinchuk GE, Hill EA, Geydebrekht OV, De Ingeniis J, Zhang X, Osterman A, Scott JH, Reed SB, Romine MF, Konopka AE, Beliaev AS, Fredrickson JK, Reed JL. PLoS Comput. Biol. 2010 Jun; 6(6): e1000822 Abstract: Shewanellae are gram-negative facultatively anaerobic metal-reducing bacteria commonly found in chemically (i.e., redox) stratified environments. Occupying such niches requires the ability to rapidly acclimate to changes in electron donor/acceptor type and availability; hence, the ability to compete and thrive in such environments must ultimately be reflected in the organization and utilization of electron transfer networks, as well as central and peripheral carbon metabolism. To understand how Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 utilizes its resources, the metabolic network was reconstructed. The resulting network consists of 774 reactions, 783 genes, and 634 unique metabolites and contains biosynthesis pathways for all cell constituents. Using constraint-based modeling, we investigated aerobic growth of S. oneidensis MR-1 on numerous carbon sources. To achieve this, we (i) used experimental data to formulate a biomass equation and estimate cellular ATP requirements, (ii) developed an approach to identify cycles (such as futile cycles and circulations), (iii) classified how reaction usage affects cellular growth, (iv) predicted cellular biomass yields on different carbon sources and compared model predictions to experimental measurements, and (v) used experimental results to refine metabolic fluxes for growth on lactate. The results revealed that aerobic lactate-grown cells of S. oneidensis MR-1 used less efficient enzymes to couple electron transport to proton motive force generation, and possibly operated at least one futile cycle involving malic enzymes. Several examples are provided whereby model predictions were validated by experimental data, in particular the role of serine hydroxymethyltransferase and glycine cleavage system in the metabolism of one-carbon units, and growth on different sources of carbon and energy. This work illustrates how integration of computational and experimental efforts facilitates the understanding of microbial metabolism at a systems level.
