Project description:Bacterial nutrition is a key aspect of host-pathogen interaction and bacteria must adapt to use nutrients available in the host. Lipid droplets-derived fatty acids are considered the major intracellular carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an intracellular pathogen causing Tuberculosis disease. However, many other (and more soluble) substrates are available in vivo and may represent alternative carbon sources. Lactate and pyruvate are rather abundant in human cells and fluids and represent two possible candidates. In this work, we employed a “multi-omics” approach (Transposon Directed Insertion Site Sequencing (TraDIS), RNA-seq transcriptomics, proteomics and stable isotopic labelling coupled with mass spectrometry-based metabolomics) and classic microbial physiology to study Mtb metabolism of lactate and pyruvate. We discovered that Mtb is well adapted to use lactate and pyruvate as sole carbon sources and that it requires gluconeogenesis, Krebs cycle, GABA shunt, glyoxylate shunt and methylcitrate cycle for their metabolism. These latter are traditionally associated with fatty acid metabolism and unexpectedly, we found that methylcitrate cycle operates in reverse. This latter discovery changes the role of this pathway making it a direct route for the biosynthesis of propionyl-CoA, the essential precursor for the biosynthesis of odd-chain fatty acids, abundantly present in Mtb cell envelope.

Project description:Presently few studies have investigated the proteomic profile of equine synovial fluid (SF) using high mass resolution mass spectrometer and in-solution trypsin digestion and to our knowledge none have investigated protein profile changes septic SF in any species. In this study we have used mass spectrometry and label-free quantification to identify potential protein biomarkers that allow differentiation between equine articular joint pathologies, potentially aiding accurate diagnosis and enabling increased understanding of the effect of septic synovitis on the joint environment. Identification of characteristic proteomic profiles in synovial sepsis would increase the understanding of the molecular basis of the condition and also allow the identification of potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. We hypothesised that proteomic profile characteristics will distinguish septic from non-septic equine arthropathies and between the non-septic common arthropathies osteochondrosis and OA.

Project description:The pathology of failure in currently used biological treatments (cell therapies and microfracture) for cartilage repair or early osteoarthritis (OA) is poorly understood. We aimed to identify a reliable panel of biological predictors, present in synovial fluid, which can be used in the preoperative setting to optimise patient selection and therapy efficacy. The-long term aim is to reduce the number of patients who progress to end-stage OA and require knee replacement by making earlier, less invasive treatments more effective. In this first stage, we have taken synovial fluid aspirates from patients undergoing autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) at our centre in Oswestry, UK. Synovial fluids (SFs) were obtained from 14 ACI responders (mean Lysholm improvement of 33 (17-54)) and 13 non-responders (mean Lysholm decrease of 14 (4-46)) at the two stages of surgery (cartilage harvest and chondrocyte implantation). Dynamic range compression of synovial fluids coupled with label-free quantification mass spectrometry (MS), was used in an unbiased approach to identify predictive markers of ACI success or failure and to investigate the biological pathways involved in the clinical response to ACI.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignant tumour, with high incidence rates and heterogeneity in men around the world. It is becoming an increasing burden on the health care system due to lack of tests for precise detection of disease, risk assessment and response to treatments. We used SWATH-MS as a discovery proteomics tool to identify markers in the serum of newly diagnosed PCa patients and healthy controls to facilitate the improved diagnosis. Furthermore, identification and expression of proteins was also determined in patients undergone radiotherapy and prostatectomy for monitoring of the clinical response to respective treatment options. Thus, this study provides the basis for a proteomic signature to improve diagnostics of patients with localised prostate cancer.

Project description:Application of genome-scale 'omics approaches to dissect subcellular pathways and regulatory networks governing interspecies interactions is dependent, at least initially, on the availability of model systems with well-annotated genomes and tractable genetics. We employed controlled cultivation and next-generation sequencing technology to identify transcriptional responses of euryhaline unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 and a marine facultative aerobe Shewanella putrefaciens W3-18-1 to investigate the effect of C sources and C flux directions on the interactions between these organisms.

Project description:Agricultural wastes and other non-food sources can be used to produce biofuels. Despite multiple attempts using engineered yeast strains expressing exogenous genes, the native Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces low amount of second generations of biofuels. Here, we focused on Znf1, a non-fermentable carbon transcription factor and the suppressor protein Bud21 to overcome this challenge. Several mutants of engineered S. cerevisiae strains were engineered to enhance production of biofuels and xylose-derived compounds such as xylitol. This study demonstrates Znf1's novel transcriptional regulatory control of xylose and offer an initial step toward a more sustainable production of advanced biofuels from xylose.

Project description:In filamentous ascomycete fungi, the utilization of alternate carbon sources is influenced by the zinc finger transcription factor CreA/CRE-1, which encodes a carbon catabolite repressor protein homologous to Mig1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Neurospora crassa, deletion of cre-1 results in increased secretion of amylase and β-galactosidase. Here, we determined the CRE-1 regulon by investigating the transcriptome of a Δcre-1 strain compared to wild type when grown on Avicel versus minimal medium (MM). Our data provide comprehensive information on the CRE-1 regulon in N. crassa and contribute to deciphering the global role of carbon catabolite repression in filamentous ascomycete fungi during plant cell wall deconstruction.

Project description:Translational regulation plays a critical role in controlling the environmental responses of diverse bacterial species. In addition to existing, well-established regulatory pathways, the alteration of ribosome function by specific posttranslational modification represents a potential further mechanism for translational control. Although numerous ribosomal proteins undergo diverse posttranslational modifications, in most cases the functional and physiological significance of these changes remains unclear. The datasets presented here support our discovery that the widespread ribosomal modification protein RimK functions as a previously uncharacterized global controller of bacterial mRNA translation. RimK modification of the ribosomal protein RpsF changes both the stability and function of the bacterial ribosome and alters the composition of the bacterial proteome. In addition to multiple ribosomal proteins, rimK deletion in the biocontrol bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens leads to significantly reduced levels of the important translational regulators Hfq and RsmE. This in turn leads to increased production of ABC transporters, stress response proteins and non-ribosomal peptide synthetases. Deletion of rimK compromises wheat rhizosphere colonization by P. fluorescens and significantly reduces virulence in the phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae. Critically, the expression of P. fluorescens rimK is not constitutive, but varies throughout wheat rhizosphere colonisation, peaking during initial niche colonisation and declining in the established rhizosphere. Differential modification of the ribosome through temporal control of RimK expression represents a novel regulatory mechanism by which Pseudomonas fine-tunes its proteome to appropriately respond to the surrounding environment.

Project description:The present study aims to explore chemostat-based transcriptome analysis of mixed cultures by investigating interactions between the yeast S. cerevisiae and the lactic acid bacterium Lb. bulgaricus . S. cerevisiae and Lb. bulgaricus are both frequently encountered in kefir, a fermented dairy product (25). In the context of this study, this binary culture serves as a model for the many traditional food and beverage fermentation processes in which yeasts and lactic acid bacteria occur together (19,26-30). The design of the cultivation conditions was based on the observation that Lb. bulgaricus, but not S. cerevisiae, can use lactose as a carbon source for growth and that S. cerevisiae, but not Lb. bulgaricus, can grow on galactose that is released upon hydrolysis of lactose by the bacterial M-NM-2-galactosidase. Mixed populations of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria occur in many dairy, food and beverage fermentations, but knowledge about their interactions is incomplete. In the present study, interactions between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, two microorganisms that co-occur in kefir fermentations, were studied during anaerobic growth on lactose. By combining physiological and transcriptome analysis of the two strains in the co-cultures, five mechanisms of interaction were identified. 1. Lb. bulgaricus hydrolyses lactose, which cannot be metabolized by S. cerevisiae, to galactose and glucose. Subsequently, galactose, which cannot be metabolized by Lb. bulgaricus, is excreted and provides a carbon source for yeast. 2. In pure cultures, Lb. bulgaricus only grows at increased CO2 concentrations. In anaerobic mixed cultures, the yeast provides this CO2 via alcoholic fermentation. 3. Analysis of amino acid consumption from the defined medium indicated that S. cerevisiae supplied alanine to the bacteria. 4. A mild but significant low-iron response in the yeast transcriptome, identified by DNA microarray analysis, was consistent with the chelation of iron by the lactate produced by Lb. bulgaricus. 5. Transcriptome analysis of Lb. bulgaricus in mixed cultures showed an overrepresentation of transcripts involved in lipids metabolism suggesting either a competition of the two microorganisms for fatty acids, or a response to the ethanol produced by S. cerevisiae. To our knowledge, this is the first transcriptome study of a cross-kingdom binary mixed culture that analyses responses of both microorganisms. This study demonstrates that chemostat-based transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool to investigated microbial interaction in mixed populations. To investigate the impact of of co-cultivation with Lb. bulgaricus on S. cerevisiae, a DNA microarray-based transcriptome analysis of S. cerevisiae's response was performed on anaerobic, lactose-limited chemostat cultures grown in the presence and absence of L. bulgaricus.

Project description:To study mixotrophy, it is desirable to have an organism capable of growth in the presence and absence of both organic and inorganic carbon sources, as well as organic and inorganic energy sources. Metallosphaera sedula is an extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon which has been shown to grow in the presence of inorganic carbon and energy source supplements (autotrophy), organic carbon and energy source supplements (heterotrophy), and in the presence of organic carbon and inorganic energy source supplements. The recent elucidation of M. sedula’s inorganic carbon fixation cycle and its genome sequence further facilitate its use in mixotrophic studies. In this study, we grow M. sedula heterotrophically in the presence of organic carbon and energy sources (0.1% tryptone), autotrophically in the presence of inorganic carbon and energy sources (H2 + CO2), and “mixotrophically” in the presence of both organic and inorganic carbon and energy sources (0.1% tryptone + H2 + CO2 ) to characterize the nature of mixotrophy exhibited.
