Project description:We show that NtrC couples the Ntr stress response and stringent response in N starved E. coli, which appears to be a conserved adaptive strategy employed by many bacteria to manage conditions of nutritional adversity. N starved Escherichia coli initiate the nitrogen regulation (Ntr) stress response as an adaptive mechanism to scavenge for alternative N sources. The Ntr stress response requires the global transcriptional regulator nitrogen regulatory protein C (NtrC). We discovered that the transcription of relA, the key gene responsible for the synthesis of the major effector nucleotide alamorne of the bacterial stringent response, guanosine pentaphosphate (ppGpp), is positively regulated by NtrC in N starved E. coli. we addressed Ntr stress response-ppGpp alarmone links and mapped the genome-wide binding targets of NtrC in E. coli during N starvation using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to gain insight into the NtrC-dependent gene networks. To identify candidate genome regions that are preferentially associated with NtrC, we introduced an in-frame fusion encoding three repeats of the FLAG epitope to the 3-prime end of glnG in E. coli strain NCM3722, a prototrophic E. coli K-12 strain.

Project description:The stringent response was defined in Lactococcus lactis through transcript profiling after the addition of a chemical inductor, the norvaline. Gene expression was measured in the exponential growth phase (reference sample) and at 1.6 h after norvaline addition. Four hundred and sixty one differentially expressed genes were identified and constituted the stringent response regulon. Keywords: stress response, time course Stringent response was imposed through norvaline addition during the growth of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 under controlled conditions (30 °C, pH 6.6, nitrogen atmosphere). Cell samples were harvested in exponential phase and 1.6 h after norvaline addition. Total RNA was extracted from these samples and radiolabelled cDNA were prepared and hybridized on nylon arrays. 2053 amplicons specific of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 genes were spotted twice on the array. The 2 time-points were analyzed simultaneously and 3 independent repetitions were performed.

Project description:Mycobacterium smegmatis is a soil bacterium exposed to continuously environmental changes of nitrogen availability. As member of Actinobacteria, it possesses an ubiquitin-like post-translational modification pathway called pupylation. The pathway starts when a small protein called Pup is attached to a lysine of a specific cellular target. Then the Pup-modified protein is degraded by the proteasome, as it was shown that Pup acts as degradation signal. Recent studies showed the role of pupylation in Mycobacterium smegmatis for survival under nitrogen starvation by supplying recycled amino acids. The present study is an investigation of the influence of Mycobacterium smegmatis Pup protein on the whole proteome in absence of nitrogen sources. Therefore a pup deletion mutant was generated. Applying stable isotope dimethyl labelling, low impact of the pupylation on proteome was revealed immediately after exposure to growth medium lacking nitrogen. In contrast, post 24 h of nitrogen starvation, Msm pup deletion strain showed several proteins with significant changes in abundance. Noteworthy, key proteins involved in nitrogen assimilation were significantly affected in Msm Δpup. Furthermore, we label-free quantified pupylated proteins of nitrogen starved Msm for a more extensive understanding of pupylation role in surviving and overcoming the lack of nitrogen.

Project description:Transcription profiling of wild type, relA-, and relA-spoT-, crp-, dksA-, rpoS-, lrp- mutant strains of E. coli starved for isoleucine Bacteria comprehensively reorganize their global gene expression when faced with nutrient exhaustion. In Escherichia coli and other free-living bacteria, the alarmone ppGpp facilitates this massive response by directly or indirectly coordinating the down-regulation of genes of the translation apparatus, and the induction of biosynthetic genes and the general stress response. Such a large reorientation likely requires the cooperative activities of many different genetic regulators, yet the structure of the transcription network below the level of ppGpp remains poorly defined. Using isoleucine starvation as an experimental model system for amino acid starvation, we identified genes that required ppGpp, Lrp, and RpoS for their induction. Surprisingly, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of genes controlled by Lrp and RpoS required ppGpp for their activation, we found that these two regulons were not induced simultaneously. The data reported here suggest that metabolic genes, such as those of the Lrp regulon, require only a low basal level of ppGpp for their efficient induction. In contrast, the RpoS-dependent general stress response is not robustly induced until relatively high levels of ppGpp accumulate. Here we describe a data-driven conceptual model that explains how bacterial cells allocate transcriptional resources between metabolic and stress survival processes by discretely tuning regulatory activities to a central indicator of cellular physiology. The regulatory structure that emerges is consistent with a rheostatic model of the stringent response that allows cells to efficiently adapt to a wide range of nutritional environments. Keywords: genetic modification design; stress response; isoleucine starvation Two experiments were run. First experiment: WT and several mutant strains were starved for isoleucine (exhaustion of 60 uM ile). 40 minutes after starvation, RNA was extracted. All samples were compared to RNA from rapidly growing WT cells in identical medium replete with isoleucine (400 uM). 16 samples were hybridized: duplicates of 8 strains/conditions. Wildtype in log phase (OD = 0.4) with replete ile was control for ile starved samples. Second experiment: WT strain was starved for isoleucine (exhaustion of 60 uM ile). RNA was extracted at 12 timepoints as the cells entered stationary phase. All samples were compared to RNA from rapidly growing WT cells in identical medium replete with isoleucine (400 uM). 14 samples were hybridized: duplicates of the control condition and single timepoints during starvation. Wildtype in log phase (OD = 0.4) with replete ile was control for ile starved samples.
