Project description:The Gram-negative photoheterotrophic bacterium Dinoroseobacter shibae is a member of the high abundant marine Roseobacter group. Living in the photic zone environment of marine ecosystems D. shibae is frequently exposed to oxygen. Oxic environments are hazardous and therefore effective defense mechanisms are required. In the present study, the adaptation of D. shibae to different kinds of oxidative stresses was investigated. Hydrogen peroxide, diamide and paraquat were used as agents to trigger peroxide, thiol and superoxide stress. To define and compare the peroxide, superoxide and thiol stress stimulons in D. shibae, GeLC-MS/MS based proteomic data of cytosolic and surface associated proteins were used. Furthermore, a strain deficient in the rhizobial iron regulator (RirA) was used to study the global impact of RirA on peroxide dependent protein expression.

Project description:Livestock-associated (LA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and strains of sequence type 398 (ST398), which first became known for its widespread colonization of pigs but are now also rapidly emerging in the number of human colonization and infections. The ability of broad host adaption in combination with a consciously evolves by acquisition of virulence gene or mobile genetic elements (MGE) have been increasingly addressed ST398 lineage a serious threat to public health. The present study was aimed to track out how the diverse ST398 lineage, which colonized or infected in a broad range of reservoirs and various geographic regions, is actually reflected in the course of virulence evolution. We therefore profiled the extracellular proteome, representing the main reservoir of virulence factors, of 30 representative clinical isolates using label-free quantitative mass spectrometry. The results show that these isolates can be divided into five distinct clusters based on their exoproteome identities and abundance signatures. The majority of proteins identified were predicted as cytoplasmic proteins showing substantial heterogeneity among our 30 investigated isolates. Only 50% of isolates their exoproteome clustering of isolates can be correlated the clustering based on genome sequences suggested that the large-scale extend of genotype changes over time. To assess the virulence and cytotoxicity of the 30 investigated isolates, we employed infection models based on Galleria mellonella and HeLa cells. The results uncovered the grouping of clinical isolates based on their virulence or cytotoxicity have apparently distinctive exoproteome signatures and particular exoproteins could play decisive roles in pathogenicity of this specific S. aureus lineage. Altogether, the combination of exoproteome and virulence analysis contribute to the comprehensive insights for the impact of genome diversity on the global production of virulence factors of this zoonotic lineage, and more importantly, our outcomes as well as our approach provided an effective pipeline to define proteomic signatures of S. aureus virulence.

Project description:Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of antibiotics-associated diarrhea but can also result in more serious, life-threatening conditions. As incidence of C. difficile infections in hospitals is increasing, both in frequency and severity, and antibiotic-resistant C. difficile strains are advancing, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an interesting alternative to classic antibiotics. Knowledge on the effects of AMPs on C. difficile will therefore not only enhance the knowledge for possible biomedical application but may also provide insights in mechanisms of C. difficile to adapt or counteract AMPs. This study applies state-of-the-art mass spectrometry methods to quantitatively investigate the proteomic response of C. difficile 630∆erm to sublethal concentrations of the AMP nisin allowing to follow the cellular stress adaptation in a time-resolved manner. The results do not only point at a heavy reorganization of the cellular envelop but also determined pronounced changes in central cellular processes such as carbohydrate metabolism. Moreover, the number of flagella per cell was changed during the process of adaptation to nisin suggesting a role of these cellular structures in combating this particular AMP, which is independent from pure cell motility

Project description:Very small proteins with less than 100 amino acids (SP100) of Staphylococcus aureuse are underrepresented in proteomic analyses so far. However, in the last few years a variety of such small proteins with regulatory and virulence associated functions have been detected in several bacteria. The introduction of a new open source command line tool (Pepper) that provides a fully automated proteogenomic workflow enabled us to identify proteins encoded by non-annotated open reading frames based on identified peptides. Altogether, 185 soluble proteins with up to 100 amino acids have been detected of which 69 were not covered by the used gene annotation. Of these, 83 % were identified by at least two methods.

Project description:affy_rnai_cadpoplar - affy_rnai_cadpoplars - This experiment aims to characterize global gene expression in young xylem of transgenic RNAi-CAD poplars in comparison to WT poplars. Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) is the final enzyme involved in the monolignol biosynthesis pathway. Transgenic poplars were produced using RNAi strategy (pHellsgate 8 vector, Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003) and exhibited the expected phenotype (red xylem, reduced CAD activity).Biological question (15 lines max):This experiment aims to characterize global gene expression in young xylem of transgenic RNAi-CAD poplars in comparison to WT poplars. Cinnamyl AlcoholDehydrogenase (CAD) is the final enzyme involved in the monolignol biosynthesispathway.Transgenic poplars were produced using RNAi strategy (pHellsgate 8 vector, Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003) and exhibited the expectedphenotype (red xylem, reduced CAD activity). -RNAi-CAD transgenic poplars were produced using hairpin RNAi strategy (pHellsgate 8 vector, Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003). For this transcriptome anaylsis, 2 independent transgenic lines (named pHG8-CAD2 and pHG8-CAD19) from the same transformation procedure were used as biological repeats. Four-month-old poplar plants were inclined at 30° in the greenhouse and sampled after 26 days. Young differentiating xylem originating from the lower side of stems - opposite wood - (ODX) was sampled on each individual tree by scrapping slightly the debarked stem with a scalpel. Samples were immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground with mortar and pestle, and total RNAs were extracted from fine ground powder using the QIAGEN miRNeasy kit according to the manufacturer. One Affymetrix slide corresponds to a pool of RNA samples from 2-4 individual trees (WT, RNAi-CAD transgenic lines 2 and 19). Total number of slides = 2 genotypes (WT/RNAi line) x 1 tissue x 2 biological replicates = 4 slides were done. 4 arrays - poplar; normal vs rnai mutant comparaison

Project description:Wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are phosphate-rich, sugar-based polymers attached to the cell walls of most Gram-positive bacteria. In Staphylococcus aureus, these anionic polymers regulate cell division, protect cells from osmotic stress, mediate host colonization, and mask enzymatically susceptible peptidoglycan bonds. Although WTAs are not required for survival in vitro, blocking the pathway at a late stage of synthesis is lethal. We recently discovered a novel antibiotic, targocil, that inhibits a late acting step in the WTA pathway. Its target is TarG, the transmembrane component of the ABC transporter (TarGH) that exports WTAs to the cell surface. Here we examine the effects of targocil on S. aureus using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and gene expression profiling. We report that targocil treatment leads to multicellular clusters containing swollen cells displaying evidence of osmotic stress, strongly induces the cell wall stress stimulon, and reduces the expression of key virulence genes, including dltABCD and capsule genes. We conclude that WTA inhibitors that act at a late stage of the biosynthetic pathway may be useful as antibiotics, and we present evidence that they could be particularly useful in combination with beta-lactams. Growth conditions for microarray analysis-For transcriptional profiling, an overnight S. aureus SH1000 culture was diluted (2% (v/v) into 20 mL TSB medium in a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask and grown at 37 °C with shaking at 200 rpm. For the targocil treatment experiments, S. aureus was grown to an OD600 ~0.4 and challenged with 8x MIC of targocil dissolved in DMSO) for 30 min. Simultaneously, an equal amount of DMSO (final concentration 2% (v/v)) was added to the control culture, which was incubated along with the treated cultures. After 30 min, 5 mL aliquots were collected from control and treated cultures and used for toatl RNA preparation.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are bacterial pathogens that have been shown to co-exist in biofilms related to numerous infections. Although the interaction between these two species is competitive, both partially benefit from the coexistence. In this study, we exhaustively characterized the interaction between Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by utilizing a proteomics approach, individually targeting the surface-associated proteins (surfaceome), and proteins secreted or otherwise liberated to the extracellular space (exoproteome). To that end, the conditions to co-culture S. aureus and P. aeruginosa in vitro were optimized and a high-resolution proteomics approach was applied to compare surface-associated and extracellular protein profiles between mono- and co-cultured biofilms.

Project description:Background: Cell surface proteins perform critical functions related to immune response, signal transduction, cell-cell interactions, and cell migration. Expression of specific cell surface proteins can determine cell-type identity, and can be altered in diseases including infections, cancer and genetic disorders. Identification of the cell surface proteome remains a challenge despite the development of several enrichment methods exploiting their biochemical and biophysical properties. Methods: We report a novel method for enrichment of proteins localized to the cell surface. We developed surface Biotinylation Site Identification Technology (sBioSITe) by adapting our previously published method for direct identification of biotinylated peptides. The primary amine groups of lysines on cell surface proteins in live PC3 cells in culture were first labeled with biotin with subsequent enrichment of biotinylated peptides with anti-biotin antibodies. The enriched peptides containing biotin were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Biotinylated peptides identified in triplicate were mapped to proteins. Results: By direct detection of biotinylated lysines using sBioSITe, we identified 5,851 peptides biotinylated on the cell surface derived from 1,409 proteins. 533 of these proteins have been previously shown or predicted to be localized to the cell surface, or secreted into the extracellular space. Importantly, several of the identified markers have known associations with prostate cancer and metastasis including CD59, epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), 4F2 cell-surface antigen heavy chain (SLC3A2) and Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor E5 (ADGRE5) thus highlighting the robustness of this method. Conclusions: Detection of biotinylation sites on cell surface proteins modified in vitro provides a reliable method for the identification of cell surface proteins. This method is an excellent tool that complements existing methods for the analysis of surface expressed proteins in qualitative as well as comparative studies.

Project description:The earliest stages of development in most metazoans are driven by maternally deposited proteins and mRNAs, with widespread transcriptional activation of the zygotic genome occurring hours after fertilization, at a period known as the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). In Drosophila, the MZT is preceded by the transcription of a small number of genes that initiate sex determination, patterning and other essential developmental processes. The zinc-finger transcription factor Zelda (ZLD) plays a key role in the transcriptional activation of these earliest-expressed genes. To better understand the mechanisms of ZLD activation and the range of its targets, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to map regions bound by ZLD prior to (mitotic cycles 8 and 9), during (mitotic cycles 13 and early 14) and after (late mitotic cycle 14) the MZT. Although only a handful of genes are transcribed prior to mitotic cycle 10, we identified thousands of regions bound by ZLD in cycle 8-9 embryos, most of which remain bound through mitotic cycle 14. As expected, these ZLD-bound regions include the promoters and enhancers of the small subset of genes transcribed at this early stage. However we also observed ZLD bound at cycle 8-9 to the promoters of a large fraction of the several thousand genes whose first transcription does not occur until roughly an hour and four mitotic cycles later. These early ZLD-bound regions include virtually all of the thousands of known and presumed enhancers bound at cycle 14 by the transcription factors that regulate patterned gene activation during the MZT. The association between early ZLD binding and MZT activity is so strong that ZLD binding alone can be used to identify active promoters and regulatory sequences with high specificity and selectivity. This strong early association of ZLD with regions not active until the MZT suggests that ZLD is not only required for the earliest wave of transcription, but also plays a major role in activating the genome at the MZT.
