Project description:PA3225 is a LysR-type transcriptional regulator, and the ΔPA3225 deletion mutant is more resistant to various antibiotics than the wild-type PA14 strain in both planktonic and biofilm cells. In order to characterise the regulon of PA3225, we compared the transcriptomes of biofilm and planktonic ΔPA3225 to biofilm and planktonic PA14 wild-type by RNA-seq.
Project description:The previously uncharacterized proteins HigB (unannotated) and HigA (PA4674) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 were found to form a type II TA system in which antitoxin HigA masks the RNase activity of toxin HigB through direct binding. To determine the physiological role of HigB/HigA in P. aeruginosa, a whole-transcriptome experiment was performed for the higA antitoxin deletion mutant of the PA14 strain compared to the wild-type PA14 strain. The rationale was that for the strain that lacks the antitoxin, the effect of the toxin could be discerned due to enhanced activity of the toxin. Furthermore, toxin HigB reduces production of the virulence factors pyochelin, pyocyanin, swarming, and biofilm formation.

Project description:Recent studies have shown that the concentrations of proteins expressed from orthologous genes are often conserved across organisms, and to a greater extent than the abundances of the corresponding mRNAs. However, such studies have not distinguished between evolutionary (e.g., sequence divergence) and environmental (e.g., growth condition) effects on the regulation of steady-state protein and mRNA abundances. Here we systematically investigated the transcriptome and proteome of two closely related Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, PAO1 and PA14, under identical experimental conditions, thus controlling for environmental effects. For 703 genes observed by both shotgun proteomics and microarray experiments, we find that the protein-to-mRNA ratios are highly correlated between orthologous genes in the two strains, to an extent comparable to protein and mRNA abundances. In spite of this high molecular similarity between PAO1 and PA14, we found that several metabolic, virulence, and antibiotic resistance genes are differentially expressed between the two strains, mostly at the protein but not at the mRNA level. Our data demonstrate that post-transcriptional regulation is important for understanding the discordance between mRNA and protein abundance.
