Project description:RNA-Seq analysis was conducted at different growth phases of the cell cycle as well as various fermentation conditions. The genes encoding RNA polymerase were down-regulated in SH0012 compared to its mother strain, suggesting reprogramming of cells for survival in new environments. The micro-aerobic fermentation caused down-regulation of transporter proteins and 3-HP non-producing fermentation caused up-regulation of phage shock proteins and lipoproteins. Additionally, the clustering analyses revealed that there is a mode of temporal regulation of biological pathways during organic acid production. RNA transcriptome profiling of 6 samples: SH0012 (20h), SH0012 (30h), SH0012 (40h), SH0012 (no rpm change), SH0012 (no vitamin B12), SH0003 (30h, control strain)

Project description:Solventogenic Clostridium species ferment carbohydrates to acetone, butanol and ethanol which are well-known next-generation biofuels. However, repeated subculture of or continuous fermentation by Clostridium often decreases and eventually terminates the solvent production and spore formation, which is a process called strain degeneration. Supplementation of CaCO3 to fermentation medium could partially recover metabolism of degenerated strain by more than 50% increase of cell growth and solvent production. The transcriptome profile of Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 (DG-8052) and its response to CaCO3 treatment were analysed by microarray. Since fermentation by C. beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 is a biphasic process, gene expressions of two fermentations were compared at each stage, i.e. 12h and 24h fermentation time representing acidogenic phase and solventogenic phase, respectively. This study examined expression of 5168 genes capturing 98.6% of the C. beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 genome. With the addition of CaCO3, DG-8052 had 565 and 916 genes significantly up-regulated at acidogenic phase and solventogenic phase, respectively. According to the enrichment analysis of pathway and Gene Ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, these genes were significantly overrepresented in cellular functions such as Amino acid transport and metabolism, organic acid biosynthetic process, bacteria chemotaxis and defense mechanisms. On the other hand, there were 704 and 1044 genes significantly down-regulated at acidogenic phase and solventogenic phase, respectively. These repressed genes were mainly enriched in functions such as ion transmembrane transport, ATP synthesis, oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:In the present study, we have used a genomic approach to understand how the classical mutate-and-screen method actually generated an improved rifamycin B producer. Compared with the reference strains Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699 (rifamycin B producer) and U32 (rifamycin SV producer), a total of 250 variations affecting a total of 227 coding sequences (CDS) were found in rifamycin B overproducing strain HP-130. One hundred nine CDS variations were specific to HP-130 as they were absent in both S699 and U32. A lot of variations affected genes coding for fatty acid (an lipid) metabolism, which is tightly interconnected with rifamycin biosynthesis by common metabolic precursors (malonyl-CoA, methylmalonyl-CoA). Interestingly, a nonsense mutation was mapped within mutB coding for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase suggesting the importance of metabolic re-direction of carbon flow toward rifamycin biosynthesis in the over-producing phenotype of HP-130. Other key mutations were: i.) a missense mutation affecting ppk, which encodes a polyphosphate kinase and was previously shown to play a negative role in the control of antibiotic biosynthesis in Streptomyces lividans; ii.) a missense mutation in argS2 affecting one of the two arginyl tRNA synthetases of A. mediterranei; iii.) a missense mutation in rifN coding for a protein belonging to the ROK family of transcriptional regulators with kanosamine kinase activity. Microarray analysis of the transcriptome of HP-130 as compared to that of S699 was useful to understand the effects of several mutations on global gene expression profile. Genomic and transcriptomic data were used to improve rifamycin B production in S699 by genetic engineering thus proving the causative effect of the above-mentioned mutations on the overproducing phenotype. In this study by using comparative genomic analysis we have identified all genetic changes that have occurred during development of a rifamycin B overproducer (HP-130), which was obtained by the traditional mutate-and-screen method. To gain insight about the mechanisms underlying improved rifamycin B production in HP-130, DNA microarray of A. mediterranei were manufactured and used for comparative analysis of the gene expression profile in HP-130 and S699. In DNA microarray experiments the two strains were cultivated under standard batch-culture conditions in modified RFB 2244 fermentation medium, and samples were collected at different time points (24-72 h) for RNA extraction. Gene expression data were analyzed to identify transcripts modulated during the growth curve. Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699 (WT) and the improved rifamycin B producer (HP-130) were profiled at 5 time points. For each time point two biological replicates are provided.

Project description:Extracellular hemoglobin (Hb) has been recognized as a disease trigger in hemolytic conditions such as sickle cell disease, malaria and blood transfusion. In vivo, many of the adverse effects of free Hb can be attenuated by the Hb scavenger acute phase protein haptoglobin (Hp). The primary physiologic disturbances that can be caused be free Hb are found within the cardiovascular system and Hb triggered oxidative toxicity towards the endothelium has been promoted as a potential mechanism. The molecular mechanisms of this toxicity as well as of the protective activities of Hp are not yet clear. Within this study we systematically investigated the structural, biochemical and cell biologic nature of Hb toxicity in an endothelial cell system under peroxidative stress. We identified two principal mechanisms of oxidative Hb toxicity that are mediated by globin degradation products and by modified lipoprotein species, respectively. The two damage pathways trigger diverse and discriminative inflammatory and cytotoxic responses. Hp provides structural stabilization of Hb and shields Hb’s oxidative reactions with lipoproteins providing dramatic protection against both pathways of toxicity. By these mechanisms Hp shifts Hb’s destructive pseudo-peroxidative reaction into a potential anti-oxidative function during peroxidative stress.

Project description:3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a promising platform chemical with various industrial applications. Several metabolic routes to produce 3-HP from organic substrates such as sugars or glycerol have been implemented in yeast, enterobacterial species and other microorganisms. In this work, we investigated 3-HP metabolism of the well-studied ‘Knallgas bacterium’ Cupriavidus necator, a potential C1-chassis for the production of 3-HP and other fatty acid derivatives from CO2 and H2. When testing C. necator for its tolerance towards 3-HP, it was noted that it could utilise the compound as the sole source of carbon and energy.

Project description:Phenotypes of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) high pigment-2dg (hp-2dg) mutant are caused by a mutation in the gene encoding DEETIOLATED1, a negative regulator of light signaling. Homozygous hp-2dg plants display a plethora of distinctive developmental and metabolic phenotypes in comparison to their normal isogenic counterparts. This mutant is however best known for the increased levels of lycopene and other plastid-accumulating functional metabolites. In this study we analyzed the transcriptional alterations in mature-green, breaker and early-red fruits of hp-2dg/hp-2dg plants in relation to their normal counterparts using microarray technology. Results show that a large portion of the genes that are affected by hp-2dg mutation, display a tendency for up- rather than down-regulation. Ontology assignment of these differentially regulated transcripts, revealed a consistent upregulation of those related to chloroplast biogenesis and photosynthesis in hp-2dg mutants throughout fruit ripening. A tendency of upregulation was also observed in structural genes involved in phytonutrient biosynthesis. However, this upregulation was not as consistent, positioning plastid biogenesis as an important determinant of phytonutrient overproduction in hp-2dg mutant fruits. Microscopic observations revealed a highly significant increase in chloroplasts size and number in pericarp cells of mature-green hp-2dg/hp-2dg fruits in comparison to their normal counterparts. This increase could be observed from early stages of fruit development. Therefore, the molecular trigger that drives phytonutrient overproduction in hp-2dg mutant fruits should be initially traced at early stages of fruit development.

Project description:Phages are viruses that specifically infect and kill bacteria. Bacterial fermentation and biotechnology industries see them as enemies, however, they are also investigated for the treatment or prevention of infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria. Whether foes or allies, their importance is undeniable. Despite decades of research some aspects of phage biology are still poorly understood. In this study, we used label-free quantitative proteomics to reveal the proteotypes of Lactococcus lactis MG1363 during infection by the virulent phage p2, a model for studying the biology of phages infecting Gram-positive bacteria. Our approach resulted in the high-confidence detection and quantification of 59% of the theoretical bacterial proteome, including 226 bacterial proteins detected only during phage infection and 6 proteins unique to uninfected bacteria. We also identified many bacterial proteins of differing abundance during the infection. Using this high-throughput proteomic datasets, we selected specific bacterial genes for inactivation using CRISPR-Cas9 to investigate their involvement in phage replication. One knockout mutant lacking gene llmg_0219 showed resistance to phage p2 due to a deficiency in phage adsorption. Furthermore, we detected and quantified 78% of the theoretical phage proteome and identified many proteins of phage p2 that had not been previously detected. Among others, we uncovered a conserved small phage protein (ORFN1) coded by an unannotated gene. We also applied a targeted approach to achieve greater sensitivity and identify undetected phage proteins that were expected to be present. This allowed us to follow the fate of ORF46, a small phage protein of low abundance. In summary, this work offers a unique view of the virulent phages’ takeover of bacterial cells and provides novel information on phage-host interactions.

Project description:Gene expression profiles of baker’s yeast during initial dough-fermentation were investigated using liquid fermentation media to obtain insights at the molecular level into rapid adaptation mechanisms of baker’s yeast. Results showed that onset of fermentation caused drastic changes in gene expression profiles within 15 min. Genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were down-regulated and genes involved in glycolysis were up-regulated, indicating a metabolic shift from respiration to fermentation. Genes involved in ethanol production (PDC genes and ADH1), in glycerol synthesis (GPD1 and HOR2), and in low-affinity hexose transporters (HXT1 and HXT3) were up-regulated at the beginning of model dough-fermentation. Among genes up-regulated at 15 min, several genes classified as transcription were down-regulated within 30 min. These down-regulated genes are involved in messenger RNA splicing and ribosomal protein biogenesis, in zinc finger transcription factor proteins, and in transcriptional regulator (SRB8, MIG1). In contrast, genes involved in amino acid metabolism and in vitamin metabolism, such as arginine biosynthesis, riboflavin biosynthesis, and thiamin biosynthesis, were subsequently up-regulated after 30 min. Interestingly, the genes involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway were also subsequently up-regulated. Our study presents the first overall description of the transcriptional response of baker’s yeast during dough-fermentation, and will thus help clarify genomic responses to various stresses during commercial fermentation processes.
