Project description:RyhB is a non-coding RNA regulated by the Fur repressor. It has previously been shown to cause the rapid degradation of a number of mRNAs that encode proteins that utilize iron. Here we examine the effect of ectopic RyhB production on global gene expression by microarray analysis. Many of the previously identified targets were found, as well as other mRNAs encoding iron-binding proteins, bringing the total number of regulated operons to at least 18, encoding 56 genes. The two major operons involved in Fe-S cluster assembly showed different behavior; the isc operon appears to be a direct target of RyhB action, while the suf operon does not. This is consistent with previous findings suggesting that the suf genes but not the isc genes are important for Fe-S cluster synthesis under iron-limiting conditions, presumably for essential iron-binding proteins. In addition, we observed repression of Fur-regulated genes upon RyhB expression, interpreted as due to intracellular iron-sparing resulting from reduced synthesis of iron-binding proteins. Our results demonstrate the broad effects of a single non-coding RNA on iron homeostasis. Experiment Overall Design: Derivatives of MG1655 carrying either pBAD-ryhB or the control vector pNM12 were used in all experiments. Experiment Overall Design: The strains used contain the (delta)ara714 allele to prevent catabolism of arabinose and the (delta)ryhB::cat allele to restrict RyhB expression to the inducible pBAD-ryhB vector. Experiment Overall Design: Overnight bacterial cultures were incubated in LB media with ampicillin at a final concentration of 50 ug/mL at 37oC and diluted 1000-fold into 50 mL of fresh LB-ampicillin media at 37oC with agitation. To induce RyhB expression, cultures carrying the pBAD-ryhB construct were grown to an O.D.600 of 0.5 and arabinose was added to the culture at a final concentration of 0.1%. In some experiments, 50 uM FeSO4 was added to the new culture after dilution from overnight culture. Total RNA was extracted from cells at the indicated time using the hot phenol procedure.

Project description:Bacterial cells often modulate their transcriptional profiles in response to the changes in iron availability. Ferric uptake regulator (Fur), as a global iron biosensor, plays a central role in maintaining iron homeostasis in Bacillus subtilis. Here we utilized a high affinity Fe2+ efflux transporter, Listeria monocytogenes FrvA, as an inducible genetic tool to deplete intracellular iron. We then characterized the responses of the Fur, FsrA, and PerR regulons as cells transition from iron sufficiency to deficiency. Our results indicate that the Fur regulon is derepressed in three distinct waves. First, elemental iron uptake (ywbLMN), ferric citrate uptake (ymfCDEF-yhfQ), and petrobactin uptake (yclNOPQ) systems are induced to prevent iron deficiency. Second, B. subtilis synthesizes its own siderophore bacillibactin (dhbACEBF) and turns on bacillibactin uptake (feuABC-yusV) along with flavodoxin (ykuNOP) and hydroxamate siderophore uptake (fhuBCGD-yxeB) to scavenge iron from the environment. Third, as iron levels decline further, an iron sparing response (fsrA, fbpAB, and fbpC) is induced to block the translation of nonessential iron-using proteins and permit only essential iron-dependent enzymes to utilize the limited iron. ChIP experiments demonstrate that in vivo occupancy of Fur correlates with derepression of each operon, and the graded response observed here results, at least in part, from higher affinity binding of Fur to the late induced genes. These results provide insights into the distinct roles of Fur-regulated target genes as intracellular iron levels decline.

Project description:In the alpha subclass of proteobacteria iron homeostasis is controlled by diverse iron responsive regulators. Caulobacter crescentus, an important freshwater α-proteobacterium, uses the ferric uptake repressor (Fur) for such purpose. However, the impact of the iron availability on the C. crescentus transcriptome and an overall perspective of the regulatory networks involved remain unknown. In this work we report the identification of iron-responsive and Fur-regulated genes in C. crescentus using microarray-based global transcriptional analyses. We identify 46 genes that were strongly upregulated both by mutation of fur and by iron limitation condition. Among them, there are genes involved in iron uptake (four TonB dependent receptor gene clusters, feoAB), riboflavin biosynthesis and some genes encoding hypothetical proteins. Most of these genes are associated with Fur binding sites, implicating them as direct targets of Fur-mediated repression. These data were validated by β-galactosidase and EMSA assays for two operons encoding putative transporters. The role of Fur as a positive regulator is also evident, given that 50 genes were downregulated both by mutation of fur and under low-iron condition. As expected, this group includes many genes involved in energy metabolism, mostly iron-using enzymes. Surprisingly, are also included in this group many genes encoding TonB dependent receptors and the genes fixK, fixT and ftrB encoding an oxygen signaling network required for growth during hypoxia. Bioinformatics analyses performed in the promoters of these genes suggest that positive regulation by Fur is mainly indirect. In addition to the Fur modulon, iron limitation altered expression of more 103 genes, including upregulation of genes involved in Fe-S cluster assembly, oxidative stress and heat shock response, as well as downregulation of genes implicated in amino acid metabolism, chemotaxis and motility. Altogether, our results showed that adaptation of C. crescentus to iron limitation involves increasing the transcription of iron-acquisition systems and decreasing the production of iron-using proteins as a general strategy

Project description:Iron is required by almost all bacteria but concentrations of iron above the physiological levels are toxic. In bacteria, intracellular iron is regulated mostly by ferric uptake regulator, Fur or a similar functional protein. Iron limitation results in regulation of number of genes, including those involved in iron uptake process. A subset of the genes under the control of Fur is called Fur regulon. In this study we have identified the Fur- and iron- regulated genes in Listeria monocytogenes by DNA microarray analysis using fur mutant and its isogenic parent. In order to identify genes exclusively regulated in response to iron limitation, fur mutant and its isogenic parent grown in iron-deficient KRM media were compared. Similarly, to identify Fur regulated genes, fur mutant was compared with the parent under iron-deficient and excess-iron conditions. Listeria in low-iron resulted in up-regulation of 180 and down-regulation of 200 genes whereas in the fur mutant, 79 genes were up-regulated and 49 genes down-regulated. Our studies have identified at least 12 genes that are negatively controlled by Fur. In iron-deficient condition, these genes were up-regulated, while expression of fur was down-regulated. To further investigate the fur regulation, the fur promoter-lacZ transcriptional fusion strains were constructed in fur and perR mutant background. In the perR mutant, the regulation of fur, svpA, and feoB was inhibited in the iron-limited conditions. Our results indicate that fur is negatively regulated by Fur and PerR. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that regulation of some of the genes in iron-limited conditions require PerR.
