Project description:The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A streptococcus, is responsible for mild infections to life-threatening diseases. We previously have performed the transcription start site profiling of a Streptococcus pyogenes emm1 strain, strain S119, an invasive strain isolated from a blood culture. Here, we perform strand-specific RNA-seq experiments to complete this characterization and analyze the global coverage and the differential expression in growth medium complemented or not with 15 mM MgCl2. In addition we compare these results to those obtained with a related strain, strain S126, corresponding to a colonization sample, that differs from S119 by only one mutation in the two-component regulator of virulence CovRS.
Project description:The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A streptococcus, is responsible for mild infections to life-threatening diseases. To determine the primary transcriptome of the emm1 strain S119, we have performed a differential RNA-Seq experiment based on selective Tobacco Acid Pyrophosphatase (TAP) treatment and 5' adapter ligation to differentiate primary transcripts (5' tri-phosphate) and processed RNAs (5' mono-phosphate). The libraries were performed on a mixture of RNAs prepared from bacteria cultured to late exponential phase in a rich growth culture medium supplemented or not with 15 mM of MgCl2
Project description:Rgg-dependent transcriptional regulation in SF370 Streptococcus pyogenes strain was analyzed during post-exponential phase of growth Keywords: rgg mutant
Project description:Rgg-dependent transcriptional regulation in SF370 Streptococcus pyogenes strain was analyzed during post-exponential phase of growth Keywords: rgg mutant Microarray analysis was performed using RNA samples isolated from both wild-type SF370 and SF370 rgg mutant strains during post-exponential phase of growth
Project description:In Streptococcus pyogenes, mutation of GidA results in avirulence despite the same growth rate as the wild type. To understand the basis of this effect, global transcription profiling was conducted. Keywords: Wild type vs. GidA mutant Streptococcus pyogenes
Project description:Rgg-dependent transcriptional regulation in Streptococcus pyogenes strains MGAS5005 and CS101 was analyzed during post-exponential phase of growth Keywords: strain comparion, post-exponential growth, rgg mutant
