Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections which can survive in different hospital environments and its multidrug-resistant capacity is major concern now-a-days. ppGpp dependent stringent response mediates reprogramming of gene expression with diverse function in many bacteria. A baumannii A1S_0579 gene is responsible for ppGpp production. Transcriptome analysis of early stationary phase cultures represents several differentially expressed genes in ppGpp deficient strain (∆A1S_0579). We found that the expression of csu operon, which is important in pili biosynthesis for early biofilm formation, was significantly reduced in the ppGpp-deficient strain. Our findings showed that ppGpp signaling plays critical role in biofilm formation, surface motility, adherence and virulence of A baumannii. This study is the first demonstration of the association between ppGpp and pathogenicity of A. baumannii.

Project description:In this study the transcriptomes of Acinetobacter baumannii strains ATCC 17978 and 17978hm were compared. Strain 17978hm is a hns knockout derivative of strain ATCC 17978. Strain 17978hm displays a hyper-motile phenotype on semi-solid Mueller-Hinton (MH) media (0.25% agar). ATCC 17978 and 17978hm from an 37C overnight culture were transferred to the centre of the semi-solid MH plate and incubated at 37C for 8 hours. Only 17978hm cells displayed a motile phenotype and covered the complete surface of the plate. These motile 17978hm cells and the non-motile wild-type ATCC 17978 cells were harvested and RNA was isolated. The comparative transcriptome analysis was performed using the FairPlay labeling kit and a custom made Agilent MicroArray with probes designed to coding regions of the ATCC 17978 genome. The data was analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring GX9 and the significance analysis of microarray MS Excel add-on. The motile 17978hm cells and the non-motile wild-type ATCC 17978 cells were harvested and RNA was isolated. The comparative transcriptome analysis was performedThe probes on the microarray cover all predicted open reading frames (at least 4 per ORF) and additional replicates of housekeeping genes of the A. baumannii ATCC 17978 genome .

Project description:Transcriptomics by RNA-seq provides unparalleled insight into bacterial gene expression networks, enabling a deeper understanding of the regulation of pathogenicity, mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, metabolism, and other cellular processes. Here we present the transcriptome architecture of Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978, a species emerging as a leading cause of antimicrobial resistant nosocomial infections. Differential RNA-seq (dRNA-seq) examination of model strain ATCC 17978 in 16 laboratory conditions identified 3731 transcriptional start sites (TSS), and 110 small RNAs, including the first identification of 22 sRNA encoded at the 3′ end of mRNA.

Project description:In Firmicutes, the nutrient-sensing regulators (p)ppGpp, the effector molecule of the stringent response, and CodY work in tandem to maintain bacterial fitness during infection. Here, we tested (p)ppGpp and codY mutant strains of Enterococcus faecalis in a catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) mouse model and used global transcriptional analysis to investigate the (p)ppGpp and CodY relationship. Absence of (p)ppGpp or single inactivation of codY led to lower bacterial loads in catheterized bladders, and diminished biofilm formation on fibrinogen-coated surfaces under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Single inactivation of the bifunctional (p)ppGpp synthetase/hydrolase rel did not affect virulence supporting previous evidence that association of (p)ppGpp with enterococcal virulence is not dependent on activation of the stringent response. Inactivation of codY in the (p)ppGpp0 strain restored E. faecalis virulence in the CAUTI model as well as the ability to form biofilms in vitro. Transcriptome analysis revealed that inactivation of codY restores, for the most part, the dysregulated metabolism of (p)ppGpp0 cells. While a clear linkage between (p)ppGpp and CodY with expression of virulence factors could not be established, targeted transcriptional analysis indicate that a possible association between (p)ppGpp and c-di-AMP signaling pathways in response to the conditions found in the bladder may plays a role in enterococcal CAUTI. Collectively, this study identifies the (p)ppGpp-CodY network as an important contributor to enterococcal virulence in catheterized mouse bladder and supports that basal (p)ppGpp pools promote virulence through maintenance of a balanced metabolism during adverse conditions.

Project description:lpsB encodes a glycosyltransferase involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis. LPS is a major component of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes. We used custom-made Affymetrix A. baumannii strain ATCC 17978 derived GeneChips to compare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic lpsB mutant cells. Two mutants were evaluated; A. baumannii strain 5A7 is a ATCC 17978 derivative harboring a transposon (Tn5) within lpsB (A1S_0430 locus); A. baumannii strain containing a deletion of lpsB (A1S_0430). A. baumannii strain ATCC 17978, 5A7 (lpsB:Tn5) or IH1∆lpsB (∆lpsB) were grown to mid-exponential phase growth, total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the transcription profile of lpsB mutated cells.

Project description:Here, B. subtilis was used as a model organism to investigate how cells respond and adapt to proteotoxic stress conditions. Our experiments suggested that the stringent response, caused by raised levels of the (p)ppGpp alarmone, plays a role during thermotolerance development and the heat shock response. Accordingly, our experiments revealed a rapid increase of cellular (p)ppGpp levels upon heat shock as well as salt- and oxidative stress. Strains lacking (p)ppGpp exhibited increased stress sensitivity, while raised (p)ppGpp levels conferred increased stress tolerance to heat- and oxidative stress. During thermotolerance development, stress response genes were highly up-regulated together with a concurrent transcriptional down-regulation of the rRNA, which was influenced by the second messenger (p)ppGpp and the transcription factor Spx. Remarkably, we observed that (p)ppGpp appeared to control the cellular translational capacity and that during heat stress the raised cellular levels of the alarmone were able to curb the rate of protein synthesis. Furthermore, (p)ppGpp controls the heat-induced expression of Hpf and thus the formation of translationally inactive 100S disomes. These results indicate that B. subtilis cells respond to heat-mediated protein unfolding and aggregation, not only by raising the cellular repair capacity, but also by decreasing translation involving (p)ppGpp mediated stringent response to concurrently reduce the protein load for the cellular protein quality control system.
