Project description:Comparison of gene expression profile of the whiB4 mutant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the wild type Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV Mtb WhiB4 mutant mRNA was compared with the mRNA of wtMtb H37RV under aerobic conditons Aerbic conditions OD600 nm of 0.4, MtbWhiB4KO vs wtMtb, biological replicates: 3 wt Mtb H37RV and 3 MtbWhiB4 KO
Project description:M. tuberculosis membrane protein PerM is required for persistence in chronic mouse infection. In vitro, the perM mutant requires increased magnesium for replication and survival, with elongation and lysis in low-magnesium media. To gain insight into the function of PerM, we compared the transcriptomes of wt and perM mutant Mtb grown in high (2000 μM) and reduced (250 μM) Mg2+ in three independent experiments. Transcriptome analysis of the perM mutant grown in reduced magnesium revealed upregulation of cell division and cell wall biosynthesis genes.
Project description:HupB is a 28 kDa in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is co-expressed with the siderophores mycobactin and carboxymycobactin upon iron limitation. High levels of all the three components are seen in low iron (LI; 0.02 µg Fe / mL) organisms, with negligible expression in high iron organisms (HI; 8 µg Fe / mL). We generated a hupB knock out mutant of M. tuberculosis (H37Rv ∆ hupB) and studied the differential expression of genes upon iron limitation in the WT H37Rv and the mutant. The RNA transcripts of the WT H37Rv, grown under high and low iron conditions of growth were isolated and subjected to microarray analysis to identify the iron-regulated genes and second, the differential expression of genes in iron-limited H37Rv ∆ hupB vs iron-limited WT H37Rv was analysed. Microarray analysis was done commercially by Genotypic Technology (Bangalore, India), an authorised service provider for Agilent Technologies. The study revealed the up-regulation of all the mbt genes of the mycobactin biosynthetic machinery in LI - H37Rv and several other reported iron-regulated genes. The salient feature of this study is the failure of LI - H37Rv ∆ hupB to show any up-regulation of the mbt genes as compared to LI - H37Rv. Among several other genes influenced by HupB, the mutant strain showed low levels of mmpL5 and mmpS5 transcripts, whose expressed products are reported to be associated with siderophore transport and biosynthesis.
Project description:M. tuberculosis membrane protein PerM is required for persistence in chronic mouse infection. In vitro, the perM mutant requires increased magnesium for replication and survival, with elongation and lysis in low-magnesium media. To gain insight into the function of PerM, we compared the transcriptomes of wt and perM mutant Mtb grown in high (2000 M-NM-<M) and reduced (250 M-NM-<M) Mg2+ in three independent experiments. Transcriptome analysis of the perM mutant grown in reduced magnesium revealed upregulation of cell division and cell wall biosynthesis genes. Bacteria were grown for 5 days in SautonM-bM-^@M-^Ys media containing 250 or 2000 M-NM-<M MgCl2 and 0.05% Tween 80. Three independent experiments were performed.
Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb) was grown in Sauton's medium with and without added zinc. Cultures were grown for 10 days and RNA was harvested from TRIzol extractions.

Project description:We used three M. tuberculosis strains (WT H37Rv, an RV2752c deletion mutation, and the mutant complemented with an Rv2752c overexpression construct), extracted RNA from log phase cultures, and made RNAseq expression libraries as well as 5'-end-directed libraries.
