Project description:Microarray comparative genome hybridization (mCGH) data was collected from one Neisseria cinerea, two Neisseria lactamica, two Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and 48 Neisseria meningitidis isolates. For N. meningitidis, these isolates are from diverse clonal complexes, invasive and carriage strains, and all major serogroups. The microarray platform represented N. meningitidis strains MC58, Z2491, and FAM18 and N. gonorrhoeae FA1090.

Project description:In bacteria and archaea, CRISPR loci confer adaptive, sequence-based immunity against viruses and plasmids. CRISPR interference is specified by CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) that are transcribed and processed from CRISPR spacers and repeats. Pre-crRNA processing is essential for CRISPR interference in all systems studied thus far. Here we examine crRNA biogenesis and CRISPR interference in naturally competent Neisseria spp., including the human pathogen N. meningitidis. Our studies reveal a unique crRNA maturation pathway in which crRNA transcription is driven by promoters that are embedded within each repeat, yielding crRNA 5’ ends are not formed by processing. Although crRNA 3’ end formation occurs through RNase III cleavage of a pre-crRNA/tracrRNA duplex, as in other Type II CRISPR systems, this processing event is dispensable for interference. The meningococcal pathway is the most streamlined CRISPR/cas system characterized to date. Endogenous CRISPR spacers frequently target genomic sequences of other Neisseria strains and so limit natural transformation, which is the primary source of genetic variation that contributes to immune evasion, antibiotic resistance, and virulence in N. meningitidis.

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis is an obligate commensal colonising the human nasopharynx and occasionally invades the bloodstream causing life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia. The gene NMB0419 on the genome of N. meningitidis MC58 encodes a putative Sel1-like repeat (SLR) containing protein, which has been implicated in mediating meningococcal invasion of epithelial cells. We prepared RNA samples from N. meningitidis MC58 (WT) and its isogenic mutant of NMB0419 grown to log phase in in-vitro culture. The RNA samples were subjected to RNA sequencing. The resulting transcriptomes were compared to determine the genes that differentially expressed in NMB0419 mutant.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Neisseria meningitidis is a human pathogen that
can infect diverse sites within the human host. The major
diseases caused by N. meningitidis are responsible for death
and disability, especially in young infants. In general, most
of the recent work on N. meningitidis focuses on potential
antigens and their functions, immunogenicity, and pathogenicity
mechanisms. Very little work has been carried out on Neisseria
primary metabolism over the past 25 years. RESULTS: Using the
genomic database of N. meningitidis serogroup B together with
biochemical and physiological information in the literature we
constructed a genome-scale flux model for the primary
metabolism of N. meningitidis. The validity of a simplified
metabolic network derived from the genome-scale metabolic
network was checked using flux-balance analysis in chemostat
cultures. Several useful predictions were obtained from in
silico experiments, including substrate preference. A minimal
medium for growth of N. meningitidis was designed and tested
successfully in batch and chemostat cultures. CONCLUSION: The
verified metabolic model describes the primary metabolism of N.
meningitidis in a chemostat in steady state. The genome-scale
model is valuable because it offers a framework to study N.
meningitidis metabolism as a whole, or certain aspects of it,
and it can also be used for the purpose of vaccine process
development (for example, the design of growth media). The flux
distribution of the main metabolic pathways (that is, the
pentose phosphate pathway and the Entner-Douderoff pathway)
indicates that the major part of pyruvate (69%) is synthesized
through the ED-cleavage, a finding that is in good agreement
with literature.
