SWATH-MS demonstrates changes to protein expression due to a phase variable methyltransferase, ModA16, in Haemophilus influenzae biotype aegyptius

ABSTRACT: Cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases are often associated with restriction modification (R-M) systems in bacterial systems. Phase variable expression of these DNA methyltransferase results in epigenetic regulation of multiple genes as part of systems called phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). H. aegyptius is the causative agent of Brazilian Purpuric Fever (BPF), an invasive disease with high mortality, that sporadically manifests in children previously suffering conjunctivitis. We have recently described a previously unidentified allele of a phase variable Type III DNA methylstransferase in H. aegyptius, ModA16. When ModA16 is expressed, H. aegyptius strains exhibit differential methylation throughout the genome compared to when ModA16 is not expressed. This change in methylation results in altered gene expression and SWATH-MS was used to identify the resulting changes to protein expression. This dataset represents triplicate repeats from strains which express ModA16 (ON) and strains which do not (OFF).

SWATH-MS data showing differential protein expression due to the ModS methyltransferase of Streptococcus suis

Project description:Streptococcus suis is a significant cause of bacterial meningitis in humans, particularly in S.E. Asia, and is a leading cause of respiratory and invasive disease in pigs. Phase-variable DNA methyltransferases, associated with Restriction-Modification (R-M) systems, are a source of epigenetic gene regulation, controlling the expression of multiple genes throughout the genome. These systems are known as phasevarions (phase-variable regulons), and have been characterised in many host-adapted bacterial pathogens. We recently established the presence of a Type III DNA methyltransferase in S. suis (ModS), of which two alleles were described, ModS1 and ModS2. Strains which expressed either ModS1 or ModS2 exhibited differential methylation throughout the genome when compared with strains which did not. This altered methylation resulted in changes to gene expression and this SWATH-MS dataset demonstrates the resulting changes to protein expression as a result of the of ModS1 and ModS2. This dataset represents triplicate repeats from strains which express ModS (ON) and strains which do not (OFF).

SWATH-MS proteome of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae showing differential protein expression due to the ModP and ModQ phasevarions

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is responsible for porcine pleuropneumoniae, a severe respiratory disease that causes major global financial losses to the swine industry every year. Phase variation is the random switching of gene expression, either ON-OFF switching of expression, or the expression of multiple allelic protein variants. A number of bacteria encode cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases that are phase-variable. This variable methyltransferase expression leads to global gene expression differences mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. These systems are called phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). In all described cases, phasevarions control expression of current and putative vaccine candidates, and influence phenotypes relevant to pathobiology. We have discovered two new phase-variable Type III DNA methyltransferases in A. pleuropneumoniae, which we named modP and modQ. Sequence analysis of multiple strains showed modP was present as four allelic variants, but just a single allelic variant of modQ was present. Phase-variable expression of modP (modP1 or modP2) and modQ leads to differential protein expression. This SWATH-MS dataset demonstrates the resulting changes to protein expression as a result of the of ModP1, ModP2 and ModQ phasevarions. This dataset represents triplicate repeats from strains which express either ModP or ModQ (ON) and strains which do not (OFF).

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae encodes multiple phase-variable DNA methyltransferases that control distinct phasevarions

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the cause of porcine pleuropneumonia, a severe respiratory tract infection that is responsible for major economic losses to the swine industry. Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens encode systems known as phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). Phasevarions result from variable expression of cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases. Variable expression results in genome-wide methylation differences within a bacterial population, leading to altered expression of multiple genes via epigenetic mechanisms. Our examination of a diverse population of A. pleuropneumoniae strains determined that Type I and Type III DNA methyltransferases with the hallmarks of phase variation were present in this species. We demonstrate that phase variation is occurring in these methyltransferases, and show associations between particular Type III methyltransferase alleles and serovar. Using Pacific BioSciences Single-Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, we demonstrate the presence of the first ever characterised phase-variable, cytosine-specific Type III DNA methyltransferase. Phase variation of distinct Type III DNA methyltransferase in A. pleuropneumoniae results in the regulation of distinct phasevarions, and in multiple phenotypic differences relevant to pathobiology. Our characterisation of these newly described phasevarions in A. pleuropneumoniae will aid in the selection of stably expressed antigens, and direct and inform development of a rationally designed subunit vaccine against this major veterinary pathogen.

Phasevarion of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae R2866

Project description:H. influenzae R2866 contains a phase-variable DNA methylase modA10, by virtue of 16 tetrameric repeats present after the start codon. Gain or loss of repeats during replication by slipped-strand mispairing can result in a non-functional reading frame. Microarray analyses of wild-type and insertionally inactivated modA were performed to determine genes affected by phase variable modification. Three replicate cultures were grown in either supplemented brain heart infusion broth (R2866 and R3763) or chemically defined media (R3790 and R3791) to an optical density at 600nm of 0.3 to 0.4 (mid-log phase). RNA was isolated by the method of Jahn et al.

Phasevarion mediated random switching of gene expression in Helicobacter Pylori

Project description:Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens contain DNA methyltransferases (mod genes) that are subject to phase-variable expression (high-frequency reversible ON/OFF switching of gene expression). In Haemophilus influenzae, Neissera Meningtidis and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, the random switching of the modA gene, associated with a phase variable type III restriction modification (R-M) system, controls expression of a phase-variable regulon of genes (a M-bM-^@M-^\phasevarionM-bM-^@M-^]), via differential methylation of the genome in the modA ON and OFF states. Phase variable type III R-M systems are also found in Helicobacter pylori, suggesting that phasevarions may also exist in this intriguing pathogen. Phylogenetic studies on the phase-variable type III modC gene revealed that there are 12 distinct alleles in H. pylori, which differ only in their DNA recognition domain, with the majority containing the C5 allele. Microarray analysis comparing the H. pylori wild-type P12modC5 ON strain to the P12(delta)modC5 mutant revealed that six genes were either up-regulated or down-regulated, some of which were virulence-associated. For example flaA, which encodes a flagella protein important in motility and hopG, which encodes an important outer membrane protein. This study, in conjunction with our previous work, indicates that phasevarions may be a common strategy used by host-adapted bacterial pathogens to randomly switch between M-bM-^@M-^\differentiatedM-bM-^@M-^] cell types.

LSD1 Prevents Aberrant Heterochromatin Formation in Neurospora crassa

Project description:Heterochromatin is a specialized form of chromatin that restricts access to DNA and inhibits genetic processes, including transcription and recombination. In Neurospora crassa, constitutive heterochromatin is characterized by trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3, hypoacetylation of histones, and DNA methylation. Here we explore whether the conserved histone demethylase, lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), regulates heterochromatin in Neurospora, and if so, how. Though LSD1 is implicated in heterochromatin regulation, its function is inconsistent across different systems; orthologs of LSD1 have been shown to either promote or antagonize heterochromatin expansion by removing H3K4me or H3K9me respectively. We identify three members of the Neurospora LSD complex (LSDC): LSD1, PHF1, and BDP-1, and strains deficient for any exhibit variable spreading of heterochromatin and establishment of new heterochromatin domains dispersed across the genome. Heterochromatin establishment outside of canonical domains in Neurospora share the unusual characteristic of DNA methylation-dependent H3K9me3; typically, H3K9me3 establishment is independent of DNA methylation. Consistent with this, the hyper-H3K9me3 phenotype of LSD1 knock-out strains is dependent on the presence of DNA methylation, as well as HCHC-mediated histone deacetylation, suggesting spreading is dependent on some feedback mechanism. Altogether, our results suggest LSD1 works in opposition to HCHC to maintain proper heterochromatin boundaries.

A biphasic epigenetic switch controls immunoevasion, virulence and niche adapatation in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae

Project description:Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) contains an N6-adenine DNA-methyltransferase (ModA), that is subject to phase variable expression (random ON/OFF switching). Five modA alleles, modA2, 4, 5, 9 and 10, account for over two-thirds of clinical otitis media isolates surveyed. Single Molecule Real Time (SMRT) methylome analysis identified the DNA recognition motifs for all five of these modA alleles. Phase variation of these alleles regulated multiple proteins, including vaccine candidates. ON/OFF switching of modA alleles resulted in differential regulation of key virulence phenotypes, such as antibiotic resistance (modA2, 5, 10), biofilm formation (modA2) and immunoevasion (modA4). Analysis of the modA2 strain, 723, in the chinchilla model of otitis media showed a clear selection for switching from modA2OFF to ON in the middle ear. This is the first report of a biphasic epigenetic switch controlling bacterial virulence, immunoevasion and niche adaptation in an animal model system Direct comparison of biological triplicates of wild type and mutant strains
