Project description:ChIP-seq was performed to map the association of SPA-tagged DnaA across the Escherichia coli MG1655 chromosome during exponential phase growth in LB. As a control to remove background, ChIP-Seq was also performed on SPA-tagged AcpS, a protein that is not known to bind DNA.

Project description:We have identified proliferative cells in adipose tissue expressing adipocyte specific genes, which were named small proliferative adipocytes (SPA). Comparison of gene expression by microarray and real time PCR among stromal vascular cells (SVC), SPA and mature adipocyte (MA) revealed that adipocyte specific genes and several neuronal genes were increased in the order of SVC < SPA < MWA. However, proliferin 2 (PLF) was detected only in SPA. We found that SPA changed to lipid laden cells by incubation with differentiation medium containing insulin/dexamethasone/IBMX. In this study, we investigated the gene expression of differentiated SPA (D-SPA) comparing with differentiated SVC (D-SVC). Further study using microarrays and real time PCR revealed that uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and PLF were strongly expressed in D-SPA. These data suggested that SPA might be able to differentiate into beige cells.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate that SymE-SPA binds DNA in vivo when overexpressed, and identify where in the genome SymE-SPA binds. To do this SymE-SPA and an untagged SymE control were expressed, and areas of the genome enriched for SymE-SPA binding were identified.

Project description:A total of 20 S. aureus spa type t437 isolates were used for exoproteome analyses in the present study. Ten of them were selected from MLVA type (MT) 621 group which has was shown to represent the most predominant class of S. aureus isolates with the spa type t437; the other ten isolates belonged to different MTs, namely MT1870, MT4125, MT1035, MT1297, MT2075, MT1875, MT2322, MT1831, MT4183 and MT1830.

Project description:Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus depends on the production of mecA, which encodes penicillin-binding protein 2A (PBP2A), an acquired peptidoglycan transpeptidase with reduced susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics. Here, we show that preventing the expression of wall teichoic acids (WTAs) genetically or with a TarO inhibitor sensitizes MRSA strains to beta-lactams although PBP2A is still expressed. Using S. aureus microarrays and array data analysis protocols (NIAID's Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center) we have characterized the transcriptomes of S. aureus COL. in order to further understand the sensitization of strain COL to methicillin by tunicamycin we determined the tunicamycin and methicillin transcriptomes alone and in combination. Methicillin treatment of COL at 500 µg/mL had almost no effect on cell growth rate and, remarkably, the only gene in the transcriptome that showed a more than two-fold change in expression was lytM, which was downregulated. The tunicamycin transcriptome of COL, acquired at 0.4 µg/mL, shows modest changes compared to the untreated control both in terms of the total numbers of affected genes and in the degree of up- or downregulation. Several of the genes upregulated upon tunicamycin treatment are part of the cell wall stress stimulon.COL was grown with methicillin to an OD600 ~0.4, and challenged with tunicamycin for 2 hrs whereas the control culture contained methicillin alone. transcriptome for COL growing in the presence of both agents showed extensive changes in gene expression. , the cell wall stress stimulon, which was not induced by methicillin when tunicamycin was absent, was clearly induced in its presence and the changes were far more dramatic than observed with tunicamycin alone. ). vraS and vraR, which encode a two component signaling system dedicated to the cell wall regulon, were upregulated 3.8 and 3.7 fold, respectively. Other upregulated cell wall stress stimulon genes include pbp2, fmtA, mvaD (mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase), crtN (dehydrosqualene desaturase) mvak1 (mevalonate kinase), recU, SAV1424 (methionine sulfoxide reductase A), prsA (peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase), tcaA (Tca protein) and cwrA. A considerable number of genes were also downregulated upon challenge of COL with the combination of tunicamycin and methicillin. These included sspB, lrgA, dltA, capL, SAS0988, sspA, pflB, and spa. Several of these genes have been found to be downregulated in previous studies of cell wall-active antibiotic challenge of S. aureus.

Project description:Purpose: Staphylococcus aureus is a highly successful human pathogen responsible for wide range of infections. In this study, we provide insights into the virulence, pathogenicity, and antimicrobial resistance determinants of methicillin susceptible and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA; MRSA) recovered from non-healthcare environments. Experiment design: Three environmental MSSA and three environmental MRSA were selected for proteomic profiling using iTRAQ MS/MS. Gene Ontology (GO) Annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathway Annotation were applied to interpret the functions of the proteins detected. Results: 792 proteins were identified in MSSA and MRSA. Comparative analysis of MRSA and MSSA revealed that 8 of out 792 proteins were up-regulated and 156 down-regulated. Differentially abundant proteins were predominantly involved in catalytic and binding activity. Among 164 proteins that had differences in abundance, 29 proteins were involved in pathogenesis, antimicrobial activities，stress response, mismatch repair and cell wall synthesis. Twenty-two proteins associated with pathogenicity, including spa, sbi, clfA and dlt were up-regulated in MRSA. Moreover, the up-regulated pathogenic protein entC2 in MSSA was determined to be a super antigen potentially capable of triggering toxic shock syndrome in the host. Conclusions: Enhanced pathogenicity, antimicrobial activity and stress response were observed in MRSA compared to MSSA.

Project description:Background: Photomorphogenesis is repressed in the dark mainly by an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex comprising CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) and four homologous proteins called SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA-105 (SPA1-SPA4) in Arabidopsis. This complex induces the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of positively acting transcription factors (e.g., HY5, HFR1, PAP1 and others) in the dark to repress photomorphogenesis. Genomic evidence showed a large number of genes regulated by COP1 in the dark, of which many are direct targets of HY5. However, the genomic bases for the constitutive photomorphogenic phenotypes of spaQ remain unknown. Results: Here, we show that >7200 genes are differentially expressed in the spaQ background compared to wild type in the dark. Comparison of the RNAseq data between cop1 and spaQ revealed a large overlapping set of genes regulated by the COP1-SPA complex. In addition, many of the genes coordinately regulated by the COP1-SPA complex are also regulated by HY5 directly and indirectly. Moreover, a large number of genes (~2790) are predominantly regulated by SPA proteins and not by COP1, suggesting that SPA proteins might regulate many biological processes independently of COP1. Conclusions: Taken together, our data reveal that SPA proteins repress photomorphogenesis by controlling expression of a large number of genes in concert with COP1, likely through regulating the abundance of downstream transcription factors in light signaling pathways. Moreover, SPA proteins may function both in a COP1-dependent and –independent manner in regulating many biological processes and developmental pathways in Arabidopsis.
