Project description:HU is a conserved prokaryotic nucleoid-associated protein known for its role in DNA binding and maintaining negative supercoils in DNA. HU also binds to a few RNAs but the natural targets are unknown. To understand the biology of HU interactions with RNA in Escherichia coli, potential HU-RNA in vivo complexes were immunoprecipitated and bound RNAs were examined by hybridization to whole-genome tiling arrays. We observed HU associations with rRNA, multiple tRNAs, a few sRNAs and a small, distinct set of mRNAs. More importantly, we also identified associations between HU and ten intragenic non-coding (nonc) RNAs, two of which are homologous to the annotated Bacterial Interspersed Mosaic Elements (BIME) and boxC elements; the other eight RNAs have not been annotated. We confirmed binding of HU to BIME RNA in vitro. Since HU and some unidentified RNAs have been implicated in the nucleoid structure, we explored an idea that HU, along with some or all of the nonc RNA species discovered here bind to BIME and/or boxC repeats to condense chromosomal DNA in a specific fashion. We propose that nonc RNAs may interact with both HU and DNA repeats to form ternary complexes, which are the anchoring points separating different chromosomal domains.

Project description:Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are small, highly abundant regulators with low sequence specificity and pleiotropic mutant phenotypes. They are involved in transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression, DNA protection/repair and nucleoid structuring. Discovery of the major NAPs has been largely haphazard and based with the Enterobacteriaceae, although some Actinomycete-specific NAPs (Mdp1, Lsr2, sIHF) are known. Here, we use LC-MS/MS to systematically search for novel NAPs in isolated nucleoids of the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor. Based on the criteria of high abundance (emPAI) and predicted DNA-binding ability (DNAbinder) we identified a set of around twenty proteins with a good probability of being NAPs. The approach was apparently successful as the set included known major NAPs HupA, sIHF and Lsr2 as well as the global regulators BldD and CRP. It also included a number of proteins whose functions are not yet known (SCO0204, SCO3013, SCO4232, SCO4199 and SCO1839) which provide a useful set of candidates for further study.

Project description:The principal virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the ESX-1 protein secretion system, is positively controlled at the transcriptional level by EspR. Depletion of EspR reportedly affects a small number of genes, both positively or negatively, including a key ESX-1 component, the espACD operon. EspR is also thought to be an ESX-1 substrate. Using EspR-specific antibodies in ChIP-Seq experiments (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by ultra-high throughput DNA sequencing) we show that EspR binds to at least 165 loci on the Mtb genome. Included in the EspR regulon are genes encoding not only EspA, but also EspR itself, the ESX-2 and ESX-5 systems, a host of diverse cell wall functions, such as production of the complex lipid PDIM (phenolthiocerol dimycocerosate) and the PE/PPE cell-surface proteins. EspR binding sites are not restricted to promoter regions and can be clustered. This suggests that rather than functioning as a classical regulatory protein EspR acts globally as a nucleoid-associated protein capable of long-range interactions consistent with a recently established structural model. EspR expression was shown to be growth phase-dependent, peaking in the stationary phase. Overexpression in Mtb strain H37Rv revealed that EspR influences target gene expression both positively or negatively leading to growth arrest. At no stage was EspR secreted into the culture filtrate. Thus, rather than serving as a specific activator of a virulence locus, EspR is a novel nucleoid-associated protein, with both architectural and regulatory roles, that impacts cell wall functions and pathogenesis through multiple genes. ChIP-Seq of EspR in Mtb H37Rv at mid-log phase of growth. Two independent experiments were performed. Input DNA (No IP) was used as a control.

Project description:Two component sensor-response regulator systems (TCSs) are very common in the genomes of the Streptomyces species that have been fully sequenced to date. It has been suggested that this large number is an evolutionary response to the variable environment that Streptomyces encounter in soil. Notwithstanding this, TCSs are also more common in the sequenced genomes of other Actinomycetales when these are compared to the genomes of most other eubacteria. In this study, we have used DNA/DNA genome microarray analysis to compare fourteen Streptomyces species and one closely related genus to Streptomyces coelicolor in order to identify a core group of such systems. This core group is compared to the syntenous and non-syntenous TCSs present in the genome sequences of other Actinomycetales in order to separate the systems into those present in Actinomycetales in general, the Streptomyces specific systems and the species specific systems. Horizontal transfer does not seem to play a very important role in the evolution of the TCS complement analyzed in this study. However, cognate pairs do not necessarily seem to evolve at the same pace, which may indicate the evolutionary responses to environmental variation may be reflected differently in sequence changes within the two components of the TCSs. The overall analysis allowed subclassification of the orphan TCSs and the TCS cognate pairs and identification of possible targets for further study using gene knockouts, gene overexpression, reporter genes and yeast two hybrid analysis.

Project description:Nucleoid remodeling facilitated by DNA supercoiling results in changes in nucleoid configuration and involves nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) and structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins among others. Changes in nucleoid configurations regulated by NAPs are synchronized with cellular adaptation and influence the simultaneous expression of several genes. HU, a ubiquitous bacterial histone-like protein, is among the most conserved and abundant NAPs in eubacteria. In Escherichia coli, HU forms dimers by HUα self-association (HUαα) or by HUα-HUβ interactions (HUαβ). HUα is mostly expressed during lag and early exponential growth phase and HUβ is expressed only during the later exponential and stationary phase, pointing to distinct HUαα/DNA and HUαβ/DNA packaging of the nucleoid in regulating expression patterns during growth and stasis. Mutations or the deletion of HU transform the E. coli nucleoid to a different form and alter overall transcription program; thus, HU interactions with DNA directly affect global gene regulation. Recently, analysis of high-resolution contact maps of the E. coli nucleoid revealed an important role of HU to promote long-range DNA-DNA contacts within the nucleoid. Yet, the molecular connections between HU-DNA interactions and changes in nucleoid architecture that regulate gene expression globally remain unknown. Here, we explored the higher-order E. coli nucleoid organization by soft x-ray tomography (SXT) and revealed an effect of HU surface charges in overall nucleoid organization and rearrangements. We also studied global transcription by next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and found a link between nucleoid rearrangement and changes in global transcription. To determine the functional relationships of observed nucleoid rearrangement and HU-DNA interactions, we also characterized the overall organization of HU nucleoprotein complexes in solution by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). We found that HUαα-mediated DNA networks are different at different ionic strengths and pHs. By means of macromolecular crystallography, we additionally elucidate HUαα dependent molecular switches that modulate DNA networking. This integrative structural study explains how HUαα regulates dynamic transformations of the nucleoid by DNA bridging to control nucleoid rearrangement and global gene regulation.
