Project description:Oxidative stress that originates from reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an inevitable consequence of aerobic respiration in bacteria. Three transcription factors (TFs), OxyR, SoxR, and SoxS play a critical role in transcriptional regulation of the defense system. However, the full genome-wide regulatory potential of them remains elusive. Here, we comprehensively reconstruct genome-wide OxyR, SoxR, and SoxS transcriptional regulatory networks in Escherichia coli under oxidative stress. Integrative data analysis reveals that OxyR, SoxR, and SoxS regulons are comprised of 38 genes in 28 transcription units (TUs), 11 genes in 10 TUs, and 34 genes in 25 TUs, respectively, significantly expanding the current knowledge of their regulatory networks. Comparison of them to other stress-response regulatory networks highlights minimal overlap between their regulons, indicating that E. coli has a series of relatively distinct stress responses covering the range of different stresses. We also demonstrate that these intricate networks coordinate detoxification process with DNA and protein damage repair, cell wall synthesis, divalent metal ion homeostasis, as well as metabolic robustness to produce overall response of E. coli to oxidative stress. A total of six samples were analyzed. oxyR-8myc, soxR-8myc, and soxS-8myc tagged cells were cultured in M9 minimal media with 0.2% glucose. Then cells were treated with 250 uM of paraquat at mid-log pahse for 20 min with agitation.

Project description:In bacteria the defence system to counter oxidative stress is orchestrated by three transcriptional factors – SoxS, SoxR and OxyR. Although the transcriptional regulon of these factors are known in many bacteria, similar data is not available for K. pneumoniae. To address this data gap, oxidative stress was induced in K. pneumoniae MGH 78578 using paraquat and the corresponding regulon was identified using RNA-seq. Since soxS was significantly induced , a soxS mutant was constructed to decipher this regulon in K. pneumoniae MGH75878. The ‘oxidative SoxS regulon’, comprising common genes differentially regulated genes in oxidative and soxS regulon was identified from both regulons – characterised a stringent group of genes which were regulated by SoxS during oxidative stress. Efflux pump encoding genes like acrAB-tolC, acrE along with marRABwere identified in the oxidative SoxS regulon. The phenotypic effect of the observed efflux pump regulation was confirmed in the soxS mutant that exhibited an 2 fold reduction in the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against tetracycline compared to that of the isogenic wild type. Impaired efflux activity, allowing tetracycline to be accumulated in the cytoplasm to bactericidal levels, was further confirmed using tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) ion accumulation assay. The susceptibility of the soxS mutant against tetracycline was also apparent in vivo, in the zebrafish embryo model. We conclude that the soxS gene could be considered as a genetic target against which an inhibitor could be developed and be used in combinatorial therapy with tetracycline to combat infections associated with multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae.

Project description:The control of cellular processes by direct electronic interface will facilitate the development of biosensors, synthetic biology, and nanobiotechnology by providing the means to pass information from synthetic to living elements of hybrid systems. To investigate the potential of manipulating cellular gene expression by means of electric current, Escherichia coli cultures were screened for electric current inducible genes using global gene expression profiling. Cells in stationary phase were subjected to a DC current density of 2.5 mA/cm2 for 2 min after which the cells were lysed and the total RNA extracted. Of the 4290 expressed genes in E. coli , 432 genes were found to be significantly differentially expressed at an effective alpha value of 5.8 X 10-6. Of these, 333 genes were induced and 99 repressed. Several genes were verified as differentially expressed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The set of differentially expressed genes were examined for the presence of regulatory factors, subsidiary regulon genes, and biological function, particularly redox functions. Transcripts for the regulatory proteins fnr, sspB, soxS, oxyR, creB and yeiL were found to be up-regulated, and crp was down regulated. While soxS and oxyR were up-regulated, the downstream genes controlled by these regulatory proteins were not differentially expressed, suggesting that the oxidative stress level of low-current electric exposure is small. Genes controlled by FNR and CRP, many of which have redox function, were found to be differentially expressed suggesting modulation by direct reduction that can only be partially explained as a response to the reducing environment created by the electrolytic generation of H2 at the cathode. Genes associated with phosphate metabolism and membrane proteins were also differentially expressed. Three biological replicates were exposed to electric current along with three biological replicate controls.

Project description:Oxidative stress caused by exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a major challenge for aerobic and especially anaerobic organisms. Bacteria coordinate the response to oxidative stress through the LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR) OxyR. Extensive studies have focused on the classical Escherichia coli system to shed light on the mode of action of defensive weapons against oxidative stress. The underlying mechanism is mediated via the formation of redox-dependent disulfide bond between two conserved cysteines of OxyR, thus activating transcription of members of the OxyR regulon. However, only fragmentary information on the regulation and function of OxyR has been gleaned through genetic and biochemical analyses in the important opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa. In this report, we used a comprehensive transcriptional profiling analysis to delineate the OxyR regulon under three conditions (KingM-bM-^@M-^Ys A medium [Pseudomonas medium or PM], Luria Broth (LB), and LB when oxyR is overexpressed), to investigate its roles in different cellular aspects that are independent of the classical oxidative stress response. Interestingly, when grown in LB, OxyR was found to regulating many genes involved in the process of inter-cellular communication known as quorum sensing (QS). In contrast, when grown in PM, OxyR regulate the expression of a newly identified CSS (cell-surface signaling) system in an OxyR-dependent fashion. In addition, the results from oxyR overexpression further confirmed that OxyR was linked to regulation of QS and Type 3 Secretion (T3SS) in addition to the regulation of antioxidative genes. Taken together, our results show that, apart from its dominant role in defense against oxidative stress in P. aeruginosa, OxyR acts as a global regulator that provides a link between the regulation of oxidative stress response, QS and virulence. 15 samples, representing 5 different biological conditions, including 3 biological replicates for each condition

Project description:We probed the mechanism of cross-regulation of osmotic and heat stress responses by characterizing the effects of high osmolarity (0.3M vs. 0.0M NaCl) and temperature (43oC vs. 30oC) on the transcriptome of Escherichia coli K12 using E. coli Genome 2 Array (Affymetrix, Inc.). Independent array hybridizations were carried out for 3 biological replicates (independent cultures). Total RNA was extracted using a hot phenol-chloroform method. cDNA synthesis, fragmentation and labeling, and washing and scanning of E. coli GeneChip Arrays were performed according to the instructions of the manufacturer (Affymetrix Technical Manual, Affymetrix, Inc., USA). Labeled cDNA was hybridized to E. coli Genome 2 Array (Affymetrix, Inc.). Independent array hybridizations were carried out for 3 biological replicates (independent cultures) of each condition. A number of genes in the SoxRS and OxyR oxidative stress regulons were up-regulated by high osmolarity, high temperature, and/or by the combination of both stresses. This result could account for cross-protection of osmotic stress against oxidative stress. The trehalose biosynthetic genes were induced by both stresses, in accord with the proposed protective role of this disaccharide against thermal and oxidative damage. Keywords: Affymetrix microarrays
