A novel point mutation in RpoB improves osmotolerance and succinic acid production in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To understand how D654Y mutated RpoB affect gene expression under either normal or osmotic stress conditions in Escherichia coli . Methods: RNA-seq libraries were constructed for four samples, including (I) The parental strain Suc-T110 grown at normal condition (5%w/v glucose); (II)RpoB mutant RpoBD645Y [Suc-T110::rpoB (D654Y), RNA-seq library named NZ-502] grown at normal condition;(III) Suc-T110 grown at osmotic stress condition(12%w/v glucose);(IV) NZ-502 grown at osmotic stress condition. For preparation of RNA samples, Fresh colonies were picked from New NBS mineral salts plates containing 20 g liter-1 glucose, inoculated into 250 ml flasks containing 30 ml NBS mineral salts medium with 20 g liter-1 glucose, and grown at 37°C and 250 rpm for 12 h. Cultures were then transferred to a 500 ml fermentation vessel containing 250 ml NBS mineral salts medium with either 5%w/v or 12%w/v glucose. After 48 h, 1 ml culture was harvested by centrifugation, frozen in liquid nitrogen and sent to Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI, Shenzhen, China). The four 90-nt paired-end RNA-seq libraries were generated commercially at Beijing Genomics Institute by using the HiSeq™ 2000 platform. Sequencing data was handled essentially with Bowtie2, NOIseq. Expression levels are presented as Reads Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads (RPKM). Results: we first comparative accessed expression levels of Suc-T110 and NZ-502 under normal condition. Among the 4200 predicted genes, 128 genes were found altered their expression in NZ502 compared with Suc-T110; with 38 targets specific up-regulated while 90 targets down-regulated. Genes engaged in biological function of amino acid metabolism (P-value=4.60E-05) were significantly enriched among in induced gene set. Under osmotic stress condition, 244 differential expressed genes were identified in NZ-502 when compared with Suc-T110, with 132 targets specific up-regulated while 112 targets down-regulated, Functional enrichment of 132 up regulated genes showed the most significantly enriched physiological function of NZ-502 upon hyperosmotic stress was associated with carbon source transportation (FunCat term: 20.01.03 C-compound and carbohydrate transport, P-value=9.51E-05), which containing a group of genes encoding diverse sugar transporters. Conclusions: Transcriptome profiling suggested that derepression of sugar transporters might be the primary cause for NZ-502 to resist osmotic stress.

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. Experiment Overall Design: E. coli K12 strain NCM3722 cultures were grown with aeration in K medium containing 10 or 20 mM glucose. To impose osmotic stress, the osmolarity of the medium was increased to 0.64 osm by supplementation with 0.3 M NaCl. Because E. coli is a methionine auxotroph above 42oC the K medium cultures were supplemented with 0.5 mM methionine. Glycine betaine (GB) was added to the high osmolarity media to a final concentration of 1 mM. Cells taken from a single colony on LB agar were inoculated into 1ml liquid LB and grown to saturation at 37oC, then 0.05 ml were inoculated into i) K medium, 0.5 mM methionine, 10 mM glucose; ii) K medium, 0.5 mM methionine, 10 mM glucose, 0.3 M NaCl; and iii) K medium, 0.5 mM methionine, 10 mM glucose, 0.3 M NaCl, 1 mM GB. The cultures were grown to saturation at 30oC and 43oC, and sub-cultured once into the same medium and grown at the same temperatures as before. Exponentially growing cells form these cultures were then inoculated into Erlenmeyer flasks (starting OD600nm 0.05) containing 40 ml of the same medium, and incubated in the same salt and temperature conditions as used previously, except that the glucose concentration was increased to 20 mM. When the cells reached OD600nm of 0.4-0.5 (~3 doublings), 25 ml were added to a 2.5 ml mixture of cold 95% ethanol and 5% phenol to preserve RNA. The cells were cooled briefly on ice, immediately harvested by centrifugation (4oC), and the pellet was frozen on dry ice. The six different growth conditions used were: C1 - 30oC, no NaCl; C2: 30oC, 0.3 M NaCl; C3: 30oC, 0.3 M NaCl, 1 mM GB; C4: 43oC, no NaCl; C5: 43oC, 0.3 M NaCl; C6: 43oC, 0.3 M NaCl, 1 mM GB.
