Project description:In enteric bacteria, the transcription factor ?E maintains membrane homeostasis by inducing expression of proteins involved in membrane repair and of two small, regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) that downregulate synthesis of abundant membrane porins. Here, we describe the discovery of a third ?E-dependent sRNA, MicL, transcribed from a promoter located within the coding sequence of the cutC gene. MicL is synthesized as a 308 nt primary transcript that is processed to an 80 nt form. Both forms possess features typical of Hfq-binding sRNAs, but surprisingly only target a single mRNA, which encodes the outer membrane lipoprotein Lpp, the most abundant protein of the cell. We show that the copper sensitivity phenotype previously ascribed to inactivation of the cutC gene is actually derived from the loss of MicL and elevated Lpp levels. This observation raises the possibility that other phenotypes currently attributed to protein defects are due to deficiencies in unappreciated regulatory RNAs. We also report that ?E activity is sensitive to Lpp abundance and that MicL and Lpp comprise a new ?E regulatory loop that opposes membrane stress. Together MicA, RybB and MicL allow ?E to repress the expression of all abundant outer membrane proteins in response to stress. 12 samples mRNA-seq data, 2 samples ribosome profiling data. For mRNA-seq data, samples were gathered at the indicated time (in min) after induction of either vector (WT), long (MicL), and short (MicL-S) forms of MicL.

Project description:Braun’s lipoprotein (Lpp) plays a major role in stabilizing the integrity of the cell envelope in E. coli, as it provides a covalent crosslink between the outer membrane and the peptidoglycan layer. Here, using atomic force microscopy, we visualized Lpp directly on peptidoglycan sacculi. Lpp is homogeneously distributed over the outer surface of the sacculus at a high density.

Project description:Gram-negative bacteria possess stress responses to maintain the integrity of the cell envelope. Stress sensors monitor outer membrane permeability, envelope protein folding, and energization of the inner membrane. The systems used by Gram-negative bacteria to sense and combat stress resulting from disruption of the peptidoglycan layer are not well characterized. The peptidoglycan layer is a single molecule that completely surrounds the cell and ensures its structural integrity. During cell growth new peptidoglcyan subunits are incorporated into the peptidoglycan layer by a series of enzymes called the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). To explore how Gram-negative bacteria respond to peptidoglycan stress, global gene expression analysis was used to identify Escherichia coli stress responses activated following inhibition of specific PBPs by the β-lactam antibiotics mecillinam and cefsulodin. Inhibition of PBPs with different roles in peptidoglycan synthesis has different consequences for cell morphology and viability, suggesting that not all perturbations to the peptidoglycan layer generate equivalent stresses. We demonstrate that inhibition of different PBPs resulted in both shared and unique stress responses. The regulation of capsular synthesis (Rcs) phosphorelay was activated by inhibition of all of the PBPs tested. Furthermore, we show that activation of the Rcs phosphorelay increased survival in the presence of these antibiotics, independently of capsule synthesis. Both activation of the phosphorelay and survival required signal transduction via the outer membrane lipoprotein RcsF and the response regulator RcsB. We propose that the Rcs pathway responds to peptidoglycan damage and contributes to the intrinsic resistance of E. coli to β-lactam antibiotics. We used microarrays to identify changes in gene expression resulting from treatment of Escherichia coli with the β-lactam antibiotics cefsulodin, mecillinam, or the combination. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE10158: Expression of Escherichia coli treated with cefsulodin and mecillinam, alone and in combination; GSE10159: Expression of Escherichia coli treated with cefsulodin and mecillinam, alone at the minimum inhibitory concentration Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series

Experiment Overall Design: E. coli was treated with two b-lactam antibiotics, cefsulodin and mecillinam, alone at the minimum inhibitory concentration to identify the expression changes in response to antibiotic-induced peptidoglycan stress. E. coli was grown to an OD of 0.2 at which time cefsulodin or mecillinam was added. Samples of the bacteria were collected at 5 and 10 minutes after treatment with cefsulodin and 60 minutes after treatment with mecillinam. Untreated cells were also collected at the same time points as controls. Three biological replicates were collected for all time points and samples, however, only one of the 5 minute untreated samples was hybridized to the arrays. In addition, a single sample from cells treated with the combination of cefsulodin and mecillinam was hybridized to allow for comparison with samples hybridized to Affymetrix antisense genechips.

E. coli was grown to an OD of 0.2 at which time low concentrations of cefsulodin and mecillinam were added individually or in combination. Samples of the bacteria were collected 5 minutes before treatment as well as 5, 20 and 40 minutes after treatment. Untreated cells were also collected at the same time points to serve as controls. At least three biological replicates were collected for all time points and samples, however, only the replicates for the 40 minute time points and the combination time points were hybridized to the arrays as no changes observed for the individual treatments, even at the 40 minute time point.

Project description:We elucidated the global regulatory network of sigma E in Fusobacterium nucleatum. For this, we developed new genetic tools for the anaerobic bacterium. This uncovered a conserved regulon of the sigma factor including a noncoding arm of the sRNA FoxI. In this process, FoxI serves as a negative regulator of sigma E to downregulate several outer membrane proteins as well as the putative galactose transporter mglBAC.
