Project description:Expression profiles of wild-type and SgrR mutant E. coli strains under aMG and 2-DG-induced stress. Expression profiles of E. coli overexpressing SgrS sRNA. Illumina RNA-Seq of total RNA extracted from wild-type, SgrR/SgrS mutant and SgrS overexpressing E. coli strains grown in different conditions.
Project description:Mature tRNA pools were measured using an adaptation of YAMAT-seq (Shigematsu et al., 2017; doi:10.1093/nar/gkx005 ) and further described in (Ayan et al., 2020; doi:10.7554/eLife.57947) in 10 strain-medium combinations (all strains dervied from the model bacterium E. coli MG1655). The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effect of reducing tRNA gene copy number on mature tRNA pools in rich and poor media.
Project description:Successful pathogens must be able to protect themselves against reactive nitrogen species generated either as part of host defence mechanisms, or as products of their own metabolism. The regulatory protein, NsrR (a member of the Rrf2 family of transcription factors), plays key roles in this stress response. Microarray analysis was carried out to reveal the regulon of NsrR. Keywords: Response to repressor titration and different growth conditions
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 nsrR with AUG start codon compared to the wild type nsrR (with a GUG start codon) and to the control lacking the nsrR gene. Conversion of the nsrR start codon from the wild type GUG to AUG increased the efficiency of translation and had measurable effects on the expression patterns of some NsrR regulated genes.
Project description:In this study, we have defined the NsrR regulon in Salmonella enterica sv. Typhimurium 14028s using a transcriptional microarray. Wild-type and nsrR mutant S. Typhimurium were grown aerobically to early log-phase (OD600~0.5) at 37C in LB medium. Total RNA was isolated from three independent cultures of both strains and interrogated on a PCR product array representing almost all ORFs.
