PerC manipulates metabolism and surface antigens in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli


ABSTRACT: Purpose: This study aimed to identify the genes regulated by plasmid-encoded regulator C (PerC). Whole transcriptomes of WT typical enteropathogenic E. coli (tEPEC) strains E2348/69 and coisogenic null-perC mutant JPEP22 were analyzed to identify and quantify differentially expressed genes. Methods: RNA was isolated from the WT and null-perC mutant strains and RNA integrity (RIN) was determined to be 10 out of possible 10 for all samples by Aligent Bioanalyzer. rRNA was depleted and resulting mRNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA. Libraries were multiplexed for discrimination between libraries, barcoded for sequencing, and amplified with random hexamers for 15 PCR cycles. Transcripts were sequenced for 50 bases in single-end fashion within one lane of an Illumina Hiseq 2000 flow cell. This yielded roughly 30 million reads per sample. Results: Differential gene expression (DGE) analysis showed that 157 genes were statistically significantly regulated using a false-discovery rate (FDR) of 10% (q ≤ 0.10). Of these genes, the perC-mutant strain had far greater transcripts for the fim operon genes, fewer transcripts of nitrate reductase genes and anaerobic metabolism genes, and fewer transcripts for Hfq-dependent ncRNAs compared to WT. Conclusions: Differential transcript abundance between the perC-mutant and WT strains indicate PerC's negative regulation of the fim genes and positive regulation of anaerobic metabolism and ncRNA genes.
