Project description:A frightening resurgence of bed bug infestations has occurred over the last 10 years in the US. Current chemical methods have been inadequate for controlling bed bugs due to widespread insecticide resistance. Little is known about the mechanisms of resistance present in US bed bug populations, making it extremely difficult to develop intelligent strategies to control this pest. We have identified bed bugs collected in Richmond, VA which exhibit both kdr-type (L925I) and metabolic resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. LD50 bioassays determined resistance ratios of ~6000-fold to the insecticide deltamethrin, with contact bioassays confirming cross-resistance to several other labeled formulations. To identify metabolic genes potentially involved in the detoxification of pyrethroids, we performed deep-sequencing of the adult bed bug transcriptome, obtaining more than 2.5 million reads on the 454 titanium platform. Following assembly, analysis of newly identified gene transcripts in both Harlan (susceptible) and Richmond (resistant) bed bugs revealed several candidate cytochrome P450 and carboxyesterase genes which were significantly over-expressed in the resistant strain, consistent with the idea of increased metabolic resistance. These data will accelerate efforts to understand the biochemical basis for insecticide resistance in bed bugs, and provide molecular markers to assist in the surveillance of metabolic resistance. Deep sequencing was performed from total RNA isolated from adult male bed bugs using the Titanium 454 platform

Project description:Previous studies have shown that the MpeR transcriptional regulator produced by Neisseria gonorrhoeae represses expression of mtrF, which encodes a putative inner membrane protein that works with the MtrC-MtrD-MtrE efflux pump to allow gonococci to resist high levels of multiple hydrophobic antimicrobials. Regulation of mpeR has been reported to occur by an iron-dependent mechanism involving Fur (Ferric uptake regulator). Collectively, these observations suggest the presence of an interconnected regulatory system in gonococci that modulates expression of drug efflux pump protein-encoding genes in an iron-responsive manner. Herein, we describe this connection and report that levels of gonococcal resistance to a substrate of the mtrCDE-encoded efflux pump can be modulated by MpeR and the availability of free iron. Using microarray analysis, we found that the mtrR gene, which encodes the direct transcriptional repressor (MtrR) of mtrCDE, is an MpeR-repressed determinant in the late-logarithmic phase of growth when free iron levels would be reduced due to bacterial consumption. MpeR-mediated repression of mtrR appeared to be direct, as judged by DNA-binding analyses, and was enhanced by conditions of iron-limitation, which resulted in increased expression of the mtrCDE efflux pump operon. Taken together, our results indicate that both genetic and physiologic parameters can influence expression of the mtr efflux system and that these can modulate levels of gonococcal susceptibility to efflux pump substrates. two strains, two growth phases, three replicates each.

Project description:Supplement S1: Figure S1. (a) Effect of culture age of Euglena gracilis on gene expression, determined with gene arrays analysis. Total number of differentially expressed genes classified into groups of fold-change-ranges in Euglena gracilis cells of different culture age (5 d, 9 d, 11 d) compared to culture age of six days. Underlying data are presented under the figure or in “FC in classes”, respectively. The total number of investigated genes on microarray was n = 20296. Data were retrieved from four independent cell cultures. (b) Effect of culture age of Euglena gracilis on gene expression. Fraction of differentially expressed genes in percent of all investigated transcripts [n = 20,396] classified into groups of fold-change-ranges in Euglena gracilis cells of different culture age (5 d, 9 d, 11 d) compared to culture age of six days. Underlying data are presented under the figure or in “FC in classes”, respectively. For more details, please see the legend Figure S1 a. (c) Effect of culture age of Euglena gracilis on gene expression. Fraction differentially expressed genes (DEGs) above (“upregulation”), below (“downregulation”) or above AND below (“all”), respectively a certain threshold (th). In contrast to (b), where the fold changes are provided in classes, all DEGs above, below, or above AND below as certain threshold are summarized. In addition, Supplement S1 contains all raw data about all DEGs detected and a rankling of the genes regarding their fold changes (FCs). Supplement S2: Determination of differential gene expression with respect to culture age in Euglena gracilis, obtained with micro-arrays. The table “Overlapping DEGs” contains all transcripts, which were found to be differentially expressed in Euglena gracilis at all three investigated days of culture age (5, 9, or 11 days, respectively), against the 6-day samples. In the table “Overlapping DEGs ranked”, the data are ranked according to their fold change. Supplement S3: Transcription of Euglena gracilis cells of different culture age (5, 9, and 11 d, respectively) was compared with the transcription of cells after 6 days of culturing. All data were obtained in quadruplicate. This supplementary data show the possible functions of the proteins encoded by the DEGs (differentially expressed genes), which were differentially expressed for the corresponding days. Table “Diff transcripts funct.” gives a general overview about gene expression changes for all days. The other tables list the possible function of the DEGs for each particular day. The lists only contain genes where a function could be assigned. Complete lists of DEGs also including transcripts with unknown function are provided in Supplement S1. Supplement S4: Determination of gene expression changes with respect to culture age in Euglena gracilis samples of cells were analyzed after 5 d, 9 d, and 11 days of growth in batch cultures, and their gene expression was compared with the gene expression of cells with a culture age of 5 d. For each day, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) each showing the same GO terms were summed up. In order to correlate these changes with the number of all genes with the same GO term in Euglena gracilis, data from sequencing projects were employed [1,2]. Genes with the same GO terms were counted and correlated with the number of observed DEGs in Euglena gracilis. In the first table, GO terms of DEGs were assigned to corresponding days of culturing and correlated with the data of [1, 2] (total numbers and ratios). Diagram “Ratio of DEGs compared to Cordoba et al. [%]” visualizes the ratio of DEGs with total data of [7]. The second diagram shows the number of GO terms of DEGs, which were found at day 9 AND day 11. The change between the two days is provided. Data are visualized in the diagram “Fraction of DEGs of a certain GO over time”. Ref. [2]: Additional file 2: Table S1 “proteome”. Ref. [1]: Supplementary Data, Table S2.

Project description:Target (MexB) and efflux based mechanisms decreasing the effectiveness of the efflux pump inhibitor D13-9001 in P. aeruginosa PAO1: uncovering a new role for MexMN-OprM in efflux of β-lactams and a novel regulatory circuit (MmnRS) controlling MexMN expression Efflux pumps contribute to antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative pathogens. Correspondingly, efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) may reverse this resistance. D13-9001 specifically inhibits MexAB-OprM in P. aeruginosa. Mutants with decreased susceptibility to MexAB-OprM inhibition by D13-9001 were identified and these fell into two categories; those having alterations in the target MexB (F628L and ΔV177) and those with mutations in PA1438 (L172P substitution) which encoded a putative sensor kinase of unknown function. The alterations in MexB were consistent with reported structural studies of D13-9001 interaction with MexB. The PA1438L172P alteration mediated a >150-fold upregulation of MexMN pump gene expression and >50-fold upregulation of PA1438 and the neighboring response regulator gene PA1437. We propose that these be renamed as mmnR/mmnS for MexMN Regulator and Sensor. MexMN was shown to partner with the outer membrane channel protein OprM and to pump several β-lactams, monobactams and tazobactam. Upregulated MexMN functionally replaced MexAB-OprM to efflux these compounds but was insusceptible to inhibition by D13-9001. MmnSL172P also mediated a decrease in susceptibility to imipenem / biapenem that was independent of MexMN-OprM. Expression of oprD, encoding the uptake channel for these compounds was downregulated, suggesting that this channel is also part of the MmnSR regulon. RNA-seq of cells encoding MmnSL172P revealed among other things an interrelationships between regulation of mexMN and genes involved in heavy metal resistance.

Project description:Euglena gracilis is a unicellular freshwater flagellate, which uses the gravitational vector for orientation in the water column in the dark. This allows the cell to reach areas in the water column for reproduction and growth. How exactly the gravitational vector is perceived, and which intracellular pathways are involved in the signaling is not very well understood so far. In the past, parabolic flight campaigns were used to study the swimming behavior of Euglena gracilis under altered gravitational accelerations. It was shown that cells adapt their swimming direction very fast: in the dark under 1xg cell show negative gravitaxis, i.e. they move upwards in the water column of the experiment hardware and against the gravitational vector. With onset of the first hypergravity period of 1.8xg the precision of upward swimming increases slightly. This first hyper gravity lasts for only 20 seconds and is followed by 22 sec of microgravity. During this period no gravitational vector is perceived by the cells, therefore they lack a cue for orientation and move randomly in all direction. In the subsequent hyper gravity period of 1.8xg, which also lasts for 20 sec, cells direct their movement again and swim upwards. Over different parabolic flight campaigns and other experiments it was shown that this gravitactic behavior is linked to changes in membrane potential, calcium and cAMP concentration. However, due to the lack of genomic and transcriptomic data, it was so far not possible to link the differential movement to the abundance of distinct mRNA transcripts. In contrast, other model organisms, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, have been analyzed by means of gene expression with respect to the effects of altered gravitational accelerations. Also various human cell lines have shown to adapt their gene expression in dependence of the prevailing acceleration. With the recently published Euglena gracilis transcriptome, we now aimed at analyzing effects of altered acceleration on the gene expression in the flagellate. Therefore, Euglena gracilis samples were taken in the course of the 29th DLR parabolic flight campaign during parabola 1 and 31 (time difference of 2 hours and 30 additional parabolas). During both parabolas samples were fixed with TRIzol at 1xg just before onset of the first hyper gravity period, 20 sec into hyper gravity (1.8xg), 20 sec into microgravity (µg) and 20 sec into the last hypergravity period.

Project description:Multidrug (MDR) efflux pumps are ancient and conserved molecular machineries with relevant roles in different aspects of the bacterial physiology, besides antibiotic resistance. In the case of the environmental opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it has been shown that overexpression of different efflux pumps is linked to the impairment of the quorum sensing (QS) response. Nevertheless, the causes of such impairment are different for each analyzed efflux pump. Herein, we performed an in-depth analysis of the QS-mediated response of a P. aeruginosa antibiotic resistant mutant that overexpresses MexAB-OprM. Although previous work claimed that this efflux pump extrudes the QS signal 3-oxo-C12-HSL, we show otherwise. Our results evidence that the observed attenuation in the QS response when overexpressing this pump is related to an impaired production of alkyl quinolone QS signals, likely prompted by the reduced availability of one of their precursors, the octanoate. Together with previous studies, this indicates that, although the consequences of overexpressing efflux pumps are similar (impaired QS response), the underlying mechanisms are different. This ‘apparent redundancy' of MDR efflux systems can be understood as a P. aeruginosa strategy to keep the robustness of the QS regulatory network and modulate its output in response to different signals.
