The dynamic changes that take place along the phases of microbial growth (lag, exponential, stationary, and death) have been widely studied in bacteria at the molecular and cellular levels, but little is known for archaea. In this study, a high-throughput approach was used to analyze and compare the proteomes of two haloarchaea during exponential and stationary growth: the neutrophilic Haloferax volcanii and the alkaliphilic Natrialba magadii. Almost 2000 proteins were identified in each species ...[more]

Project description:Bacteria of the genus Dehalococcoides play an important role in the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes. A systems level approach was taken in this study to examine the global transcriptomic and proteomic responses of exponentially growing D. ethenogenes strain 195 to fixed nitrogen limitation (FNL). As expected, the nitrogen-fixing (nif) genes were differentially up-regulated in the transcriptome and proteome of strain 195 during FNL. Aside from the nif operon, a putative methylglyoxal synthase-encoding gene (DET1576), which is predicted to catalyze the formation of the toxic electrophile methylglyoxal and implicated in the uncoupling of anabolism from catabolism in bacteria, was strongly up-regulated in the transcriptome and could potentially play a role in the observed growth inhibition during FNL. Carbon catabolism genes were generally down regulated in response to FNL and a number of transporters were differentially regulated in response to nitrogen limitation, with some playing apparent roles in nitrogen acquisition while others were associated with general stress responses. A number of genes related to the biological functions of nucleotide synthesis, replication, transcription, translation, and post-translational modifications were also differentially expressed. One gene coding for a putative reductive dehalogenase (DET1545) and a number coding for oxidoreductases, which have implications in energy generation and redox reactions, were also differentially regulated. Interestingly, most of the genes within the multiple integrated elements were not differentially expressed. Overall, this study elucidates the molecular responses of strain 195 to FNL and identifies differentially expressed genes that are potential biomarkers to evaluate cellular nitrogen status in the environment. Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 was grown with or without ammonium in batch cultures with trichloroethene as the electron acceptor, acetate as the carbon source, and hydrogen as the electron donor. Microarrays were used to compare the transcriptome during fixed nitrogen limitation and triplicate biological samples were prepared for each condition. Differentially expressed genes between the two growth conditions were identified using a two-tailed Student's t-test, a false discovery rate of less than 1%, an absolute hybridization signal intensity of 300 or greater in one of the two conditions, and an expression ratio of two-fold or greater.

Project description:The goal of this study is to analyze the gene expression profile of Anopheles gambiae Ag55 cells and compare it with gene expression profile of blood fed female Anopheles gambiae adult to establish Ag55 cells as a potential model to study mosquito-pathogen interactions Methods: The transcript profiles of Ag55 cells were generated by RNA-sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000 v3 platform. The 7 samples (paired-end reads, including replicates ( 3 samples from Ag55 cells and 4 samples from blood-fed female adults downloaded from NCBI GEO (Series GSE55453, SRA id : SRP039058))) were independently mapped on to A. gambiae genome (Anopheles-gambiae-PEST_CHROMOSOMES_AgamP4.fa.gz) downloaded from vectorbase by using TopHat followed by Cufflinks to estimate the expression values of the transcripts in FPKM (Fragments Per Kilobase per Million mapped reads) with the cuffdiff2 default geometric normalization. Differentially expressed genes (FDR<0.05 after Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple-testing) were identified for Ag55 cells relative to Blood fed female adults Results: We provide detailed gene expression and proteome profiles of Ag55 cells. We further compare the gene expression profiles of Ag55 cells and blood fed female adults. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis of our transcriptomic data suggested that Ag55 cells have phagocytic properties, a hypothesis which we confirmed using confocal imaging. Transcriptomic data further backed by proteomic data suggest that Ag55 cells express hemocyte like properties, and are immune competent. Conclusion: As Ag55 cells are immune competent and express hemocyte like properties they can be used as a model to study vector-pathogen immune response. Furthermore, the availability of transcriptomic and proteomic data of Ag55 cells will help researchers use and engineer the Ag55 cell line in an efficient way, for example by developing strategies to make it more suitable for studies of interactions with Plasmodium and other microbes.
