Project description:The natural product holomycin contains a unique cyclic disulfide and exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. Reduced holomycin chelates metal ions with high affinity and disrupts metal homeostasis in the cell. To identify cellular metalloproteins that are affected by holomycin, reactive-cysteine profiling was performed using isotopic Tandem Orthogonal Proteolysis–Activity-based Protein Profiling. This chemoproteomic analysis showed that holomycin treatment increases the reactivity of metal-coordinating cysteine residues in several zinc-dependent and iron-sulfur cluster-dependent enzymes. Whole-proteome abundance analysis revealed that holomycin treatment induces zinc starvation, iron starvation, and cellular stress. This study sets the stage for investigating the impact of metal-binding molecules on metalloproteomes using chemoproteomics.

Project description:Arsenic (As) is a carcinogenic metalloid that is a contaminant widely polluting rice paddy soils around the world. In order to gain better insight into molecular mechanism of rice exposed to As(III) stress, we used next-generation sequencing technology to acquire global transcriptome alteration and miRNA regulation in rice upon As(III) treatments. Our results suggest time course and As(III)-dosing treatments were devised. Cluster analyses show that root and shoot samples were differentially grouped. For roots, sub-clusters were more distinct in the dosage course whereas for shoots they were most recognizable for the time course treatments. Other than the significantly regulated gene expression in the heavy metal-responsive sulfur and glutathione metabolism pathways, the expression of genes related to heavy metal transportation, jasmonate biosynthesis and signaling pathways, lipid metabolism and gene transcription were sharply regulated, indicating that rice allocates energy and resources from growth to stress response under As(III) stress. In addition to the detection of previously identified stress-related miRNAs, we further discovered 36 new As(III)-responsive miRNAs. These results expand our understanding of As(III) stress mechanism to the As(III)-responsive mRNA and miRNA transcriptomes, which provide a foundation for subsequent functional research. 10 mRNA samples examined 10 miRNA samples examined

Project description:E. coli frequently encounters oxidative stress both in its natural environment or in industrial biotechnology. Elucidating the mechanisms behind tolerance to oxidative stress would be beneficial for understanding pathogenesis as well as improving production strain fitness. We make use of adaptive laboratory evolution to develop two strains of E. coli which exhibit 500% increased tolerance to paraquat stress compared to wild type. Evolved strains tolerate oxidative stress by reduction of flux through TCA, dyregulation of iron-uptake genes, and up-regulation of cell motility or iron-sulfur cluster repair genes.

Project description:Current therapeutic strategies against bacterial infections focus on reduction of pathogen load using antibiotics; however, stimulation of host tolerance to infection in the presence of pathogens might offer an alternative approach. We used computational transcriptomics and Xenopus laevis embryos to discover infection response pathways, identify potential tolerance inducer drugs, and validate their ability to induce broad tolerance. Xenopus exhibits natural tolerance to Acinetobacter baumanii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, whereas Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa produce lethal infections. Transcriptional profiling led to definition of a 20-gene signature that discriminates between tolerant and susceptible states, as well as identification of a more active tolerance response to gram negative compared to gram positive bacteria. Gene pathways associated with active tolerance in Xenopus, including some involved in metal ion binding and hypoxia, were found to be conserved across species, including mammals, and administration of a metal chelator (deferoxamine) or a HIF-1 agonist (1,4-DPCA) in embryos infected with lethal A. hydrophila increased survival despite high pathogen load. These data demonstrate the value of combining the Xenopus embryo infection model with computational multi-omics analyses for mechanistic discovery and drug repurposing to induce host tolerance to bacterial infections.

Project description:Mutations in the cysB, sconB and sconC genes affect sulfur metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans in different ways. Mutation of cysB blocks synthesis of cysteine by the main pathway leaving only the less effective alternative route. Mutations of sconB or sconC affect subunits of the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex, a negative controller of METR transcription factor, resulting in specific activation of a number of sulfur assimilation and metabolism genes, ultimately leading to elevated levels of cysteine and glutathione in scon mutants. We compared transcriptomes of these three mutants with that of a wild type strain finding that expression of a few hundred genes is altered at least twofold indicating a major reorganization of cellular metabolism. Despite the different effects of the cysB and scon mutations on sulfur metabolism they affect expression of overlapping sets of genes. We identified categories of the Functional Catalogue assigned to the differentially expressed genes and selected categories most enriched among the up- and down-regulated gene groups. Besides those involved in sulfur metabolism, many up-regulated genes are related to stress responses. The two-component signal transduction system is most enriched in genes up-regulated in the cysB, sconB and sconC mutants. This category contains histidine kinases that sense and transduce environmental signals to a cascade of protein kinases. Genes encoding heat shock proteins are also up-regulated, as are genes of the glutamate degradation pathway. The latter, also known as the GABA shunt, is induced by oxidative stress. A large group of up-regulated genes are involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism, including genes coding for enzymes of trehalose and glycerol synthesis. Genes coding for enzymes of alcohol fermentation, which are induced in response to anaerobic stress, are also up-regulated in the mutants studied. The altered expression of the carbohydrate metabolism genes is accompanied by changes in sugar accumulation in mycelia and conidia of the mutants. Among the down-regulated genes the most numerous are those encoding membrane proteins and enzymes involved in secondary metabolism, including the penicillin biosynthesis cluster. Genes coding for lysozyme are down-regulated too. As secondary metabolites often inhibit growth of other organisms, lowered expression of genes responsible for their synthesis suggests a decreased response to biotic stress in the mutants studied. Comparison of transcriptomes of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans strains bearing mutations in the cysB, sconB or sconC genes, affecting sulfur metabolism in different ways, with that of the wild type (WT) strain. Three biological replicates of WT vs cysB and WT vs sconC comparisons were performed and four biological replicates of WT vs sconB comparison were done. Each biological replicate had two technical replicates with dye swapping. A total of twenty individual hybridizations were made.

Project description:(from abstract): Iron oxidation is a desirable trait of biomining microorganisms, although the mechanism is not well-understood in extreme thermoacidophiles. The complete genome sequence of the extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon Metallosphaera sedula DSM 5348 (2.2 Mb, ~2300 ORFs) provides insights into biologically catalyzed metal sulfide oxidation. Comparative genomics was used to identify pathways and proteins (in)directly involved with bioleaching. As expected, the M. sedula genome encodes genes related to autotrophic carbon fixation, metal tolerance, and adhesion. Also, terminal oxidase cluster organization indicates the presence of hybrid quinol-cytochrome oxidase complexes. Comparisons with the mesophilic biomining bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 indicate that the M. sedula genome encodes at least one putative rusticyanin, involved in iron oxidation. The fox gene cluster, involved in iron oxidation in the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus metallicus, could also be identified. These iron-oxidizing components are missing from genomes of non-leaching Sulfolobales like Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius DSM 639. Whole genome transcriptional response analysis showed that 88 ORFs were up-regulated 2-fold or more in M. sedula upon addition of ferrous sulfate to yeast extract-based medium; these included components of terminal oxidase clusters predicted to be involved with iron oxidation, as well as genes predicted to be involved with sulfur metabolism. Many hypothetical proteins were also differentially transcribed, indicating that aspects of the iron and sulfur metabolism of M. sedula remain to be identified and characterized.

Project description:Fe-S cluster proteins are involved in fundamental processes such as electron transfer, gene regulation, and DNA repair in diverse bacteria. Since Fe-S clusters are susceptible to damage by oxidative and nitrosative stress conditions, bacteria harbour systems such as ISC (iron-sulfur cluster assembly) and SUF (sulfur mobilization) to regulate Fe-S homeostasis. Fe-S cluster production is tightly regulated so as to promote Fe-S formation when the necessity for clusters is heightened (e.g., ROI/RNI/iron limitation) and to limit unnecessary production when the demand is low (e.g., hypoxia). Deregulation of Fe-S cluster biogenesis can lead to the accumulation of metabolic poisons such as polysulfides and reactive oxygen species. The human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) exploits several Fe-S containing proteins to maintain cellular homeostasis and survival in an antagonistic host environment. The Mtb genome encodes an atypical Suf system (Rv1460-Rv1466;sufRBDCSUT) as the only complete Fe-S cluster biogenesis machinery. Expression of sufR and the complete operon was shown to be upregulated upon exposure to nitrosative stresses. Thus, we did transcriptomic study of sufR deleted strain upon exposure to 0.5 mM DETA-NO to study comprehensively the suf regulon in response to ROI/RNI stress and what are the underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Project description:The Staphylococcus aureus strain Newman uses the dithiol-containing repressor CstR to sense sulfide stress via reactive sulfur species (RSS), allowing transcription of a mitochondrial-like sulfide oxidation system, the core of which is genetically linked to methicillin resistance determinants in MRSA strains. The cytoplasm maintains an excess of reduced relative to oxidized low molecular weight (LMW) thiols that are protective against oxidative stress and transition metal (Zn, Cd and Cu) toxicity, buffering these ions to low “free” concentrations via formation of coordination complexes. We hypothesize that unregulated H2S perturbs the LMW thiol pool by generating RSS; these, in turn, react with CstR cysteines (C31, C60), induce cst derepression, and are cleared by cst-encoded enzymes. These results show that sulfide stress induces the cst operon and a zinc starvation response, represses cysteine biosynthesis, and generally represses genes that are induced by acute oxidative stress; in addition, strong repression of the expression of staphylococcal virulence factors is observed in the ∆cstR strain.
