Project description:This study established immunological and particularly antibacterial proteins in the skin mucus of Obscure puffer against A. hydrophila infection. These proteins could be potential biomarkers to be studied for prevention of bacterial disease in fish. Overall, the study provides primary insights into the mucosal immune factors in the skin mucus of fish and recommends each protein for functional-based molecular studies.

Project description:Plant pathogens can cause serious diseases that impact global agriculture1. Understanding how the plant immune system naturally restricts pathogen infection holds a key to sustainable disease control in modern agricultural practices. However, despite extensive studies into the molecular and genetic basis of plant defense against pathogens since the 1950s2,3, one of the most fundamental questions in plant pathology remains unanswered: how resistant plants halt pathogen growth during immune activation. In the case of bacterial infections, a major bottleneck is an inability to determine the global bacterial transcriptome and metabolic responses in planta. Here, we developed an innovative pipeline that allows for in planta high-resolution bacterial transcriptome analysis with RNA-Seq, using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the foliar bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. We examined a total of 27 combinations of plant immunity and bacterial virulence mutants to gain an unprecedented insight into the bacterial transcriptomic responses during plant immunity. We were able to identify specific bacterial transcriptomic signatures that are linked to bacterial inhibition during two major forms of plant immunity: pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity. Among them, regulation of a P. syringae sigma factor gene, involved in iron regulation and an unknown process(es), was found to play a causative role in bacterial restriction during plant immunity. This study unlocked the enigmatic mechanisms of bacterial growth inhibition during plant immunity; results have broad basic and practical implications for future study of plant diseases.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revolutionized the field of genetics, providing numerous associations between human SNPs and health traits. Likewise, metagenome-wide association studies (MWAS) between bacterial SNPs and human traits can suggest mechanistic links between the microbiota and its host. However, very few such studies have been done to date, in part due to the large number of samples required to address the variable coverage of bacteria across samples and the fact that most bacteria are present in only a subset of the population. Here, we devised an MWAS framework to detect SNPs and associate them with host phenotypes systematically. We recruited and obtained gut metagenomic samples from a cohort of 7,190 healthy individuals and discovered 1,358 statistically significant associations between a bacterial SNP and host body mass index (BMI). To address the possible effects of population structure and linkage disequilibrium, we applied a clumping procedure, and found 40 independent associations between SNPs and host BMI. We uncovered BMI-associated SNPs in the genomes of 27 bacterial species, even though the relative abundance of 12 of these species was not associated with the phenotype. We separated genome-wide sub-species variations from local associations in individual SNPs, and demonstrated how this framework can highlight specific bacterial functions of interest. Our results demonstrate the importance of considering nucleotide-level diversity in microbiome studies and pave the way toward a better understanding of interpersonal gut microbiome differences and their health implications.

Project description:The method of 16S rRNA marker gene sequencing has fueled microbiome research and continues to be relevant. A perceived weakness of the method is that taxonomic assignments are not possible to make at the rank of species. We show that by working to rule out bacterial or archaeal species membership, we can provide an answer that is more accurate and useful. The Unassigner software operates on 16S rRNA marker gene data and computes a rule-out probability for species membership using a beta-binomial distribution. We demonstrate that our approach is accurate based on full-genome comparisons. Our method is consistent with existing approaches and dramatically improves on them based on the percentage of reads it can associate with a species in a sample. The software is available at https://github.com/PennChopMicrobiomeProgram/unassigner.IMPORTANCEWhile existing methods do not provide reliable species-level assignments for 16S rRNA marker gene data, the Unassigner software solves this problem by ruling out species membership, allowing researchers to reason at the species level.
