Project description:RpoS, an alternative sigma factor, is critical for stress response in Escherichia coli. The RpoS regulon expression has been well characterized in rich media that support fast growth and high growth yields. In contrast, though RpoS levels are high in minimal media, how RpoS functions under such conditions has not been clearly resolved. In this study, we compared the global transcriptional profiles of wild type and an rpoS mutant of E. coli grown in glucose minimal media using microarray analyses. The expression of over 200 genes was altered by loss of RpoS in exponential and stationary phases, with only 48 genes common to both conditions. The nature of the RpoS-controlled regulon in minimal media was substantially different from that expressed in rich media. Specifically, the expression of many genes encoding regulatory factors (e.g., hfq, csrA and rpoE) and genes in metabolic pathways (e.g., lysA, lysC and hisD) were regulated by RpoS in minimal media. In early exponential phase, protein levels of RpoS in minimal media were much higher than that in LB media, which may at least partly account for the observed difference in the expression of RpoS-controlled genes. Expression of genes required for flagellar function and chemotaxis was elevated in the rpoS mutant. Western blot analyses show that the flagella sigma factor FliA was expressed much higher in rpoS mutants than in WT in all phase of growth. Consistent with this, the motility of rpoS mutants was enhanced relative to WT. In conclusion, RpoS and its controlled regulators form a complex regulatory network that mediates the expression of a large regulon in minimal media.

Project description:RpoS is a conserved stress regulator that plays a critical role in survival under stress conditions in Escherichia coli and other γ-proteobacteria. RpoS is also involved in virulence of many pathogens including Salmonella and Vibrio species. Though well characterized in non-pathogenic E. coli K12 strains, the effect of RpoS on transcriptome expression has not been examined in pathogenic isolates. E. coli O157:H7 is a serious human enteropathogen, possessing a genome 20% larger than that of E. coli K12, and many of the additional genes are required for virulence. The genomic difference may result in substantial changes in RpoS-regulated gene expression. To test this, we compared the transcriptional profile of wild type and rpoS mutants of the E. coli O157:H7 EDL933 type strain. The rpoS mutation had a pronounced effect on gene expression in stationary phase, and more than 1,000 genes were differentially expressed (two-fold, p<0.05). By contrast, we found 11 genes expressed differently in exponential phase. Western blot analysis revealed that, as expected, RpoS level was low in exponential phase and substantially increased in stationary phase. The defect in rpoS resulted in impaired expression of genes responsible for stress response (e.g., gadA, katE and osmY), arginine degradation (astCADBE), putrescine degradation (puuABCD), fatty acid oxidation (fadBA and fadE), and virulence (ler, espI and cesF). For EDL933-specific genes on O-islands, we found 50 genes expressed higher in wild type EDL933 and 49 genes expressed higher in the rpoS mutants. The protein levels of Tir and EspA, two LEE-encoded virulence factors, were elevated in the rpoS mutants under LEE induction conditions. Our results show that RpoS has a profound effect on global gene expression in the pathogenic strain O157:H7 EDL933, and the identified RpoS regulon, including many EDL933-specific genes, differs substantially from that of laboratory K12 strains. In this study, we characterized the RpoS regulon of E. coli O157:H7 strain EDL933 using microarray analysis.

Project description:To determine sites where RpoS binds (and hence likely plays a direct role in transcription), we used ChIP-seq to map the association of RpoS across the Escherichia coli chromosome during stationary phase growth in minimal medium. To facilitate ChIP, RpoS was C-terminally SPA-tagged at its native locus.

Project description:The goal of this study was to compare system level changes in gene-expression in naturally isolated alleles of stationary-phase sigma factor rpoS and two variants of it isolated during evolution under prolonged stationary-phase. We show that while rpoS819 was an attenuated form of wild type rpoS, rpoS92 partially reverses rpoS819 expression compensating rpoS819.

Project description:RpoS, an alternative sigma factor, is critical for stress response in Escherichia coli.RpoS also acts as a global regulator for stress control of gene expression, and actually dose so in log stage and stationary stage. To further understand the effect of environmental stresses on in ethanologenic strains, DNA microarrys was used to analyze the expression profiles of E. coli and its rpoS mutant strain. BW25113（rpoS-）and BW25113 were selected at log stages and stationary stage of early development for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To that end, we hand-selected BW25113 and BW25113（rpoS-） according at different treatments: BW25113（rpoS-）at log stage (BW25113(rpoS-) log), BW25113 at log stage (BW25113 log),BW25113（rpoS-）atstationary stage ( BW25113(rpoS-) stationary), BW25113 at stationary stage ( BW25113 stationary)

Project description:The alternative sigma factor RpoS regulates transcription of many genes in Escherichia coli in response to many different stresses. The rate of change of RpoS levels in response to stress, and the consequences of that change for the temporal patterns of expression of RpoS-regulated genes has not been described. We measured the temporal pattern of RpoS levels in response to the entry to stationary phase, high osmolarity, or low temperature. We found that RpoS levels peaked 50 minutes after osmolarity increased, but took 240 minutes to peak in response to lowered temperature. We quantified the transcriptome across these stresses using RNA-seq. Stresses differed in the number of differentially expressed genes, with 1379 DE genes were identified in in stationary phase, 633 in high osmolarity, and 302 in cold shock. We attempted to fit sigmoid or double sigmoid models to each individual differentially expressed genes in each stress, and fit 47 to 62% of all DE genes, depending on the stress. During the entry into stationary phase, genes whose expression rose earlier tended to be those that had been found to respond most strongly to low levels of RpoS.The timing of individual genes expression was not correlated across stresses. Taken together, our results demonstrate E. coli activates RpoS with different timing in response to different stresses, which in turn generates a unique pattern of timing of the transcription response in each stress.

EDL933 wild type and rpoS mutants were inoculated in triplicate into LB media at a starting OD of 0.0001 and grown aerobically at 37C. Cultures were harvested at OD600 = 0.3 in exponential phase and OD600=1.5 in stationary phase. For RNA extraction, cultures were mixed directly with a boiling lysis buffer containing SDS and EDTA followed by acidic hot phenol to minimize RNA degradation. RNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix E. coli Genome 2.0 Array according to Affymetrix's standard protocols.
