Project description:Phosphate is an essential ion for fungal growth, required for proper DNA and phospholipids biosyntesis, energetic metabolism and signal transduction. The systems for inorganic phosphate (Pi) acquisition in eukaryotic cells (PHO) have been characterized as a low-affinity (that assures a supply of Pi at normal or high external Pi concentrations) and a high-affinity (activated in response to Pi starvation). Here, as an initial step to understand the PHO pathway in A. fumigatus, we characterized the PHO80 homologue, phoB(PHO80). We showed that the delta phoB(PHO80) mutant has a severe polar growth defect and there is an interaction between PhoB(PHO80), calcineurin and calcium metabolism. Microarray hybridizations carried out with RNA obtained from wild type and delta phoB(PHO80) mutant cells showed that Afu4g03610 [phoD(PHO84)], Afu7g06350 [phoE9(PHO89)], Afu4g06020 [phoCPHO81)], and Afu2g09040 (vacuolar transporter Vtc4) were more expressed either in the delta phoB(PHO80) mutant background or in 11 mM Pi. Keywords: gene expression array-based (log2 ratio)

Project description:A. fumigatus wild type and delta phoB(PHO80) strains transcriptome analysis for growth upon minimal medium 0.1 mM Pi
| PRJNA105183 | ENA
Project description:Transcriptome of A. fumigatus shifted from ammoniumtartrate to different nitrogen sources and incubated for a defined time was compared. After 16h preculture, the fungus was transferred into fresh medium containing ammonium tartrate, sodium nitrate, proline or bsa as nitrogen source. After 1h, fungus was reisolated, RNA was prepared from fungus, transcriptome was assessed and used for further analysis. Ammoniumtartrate, sodiumnitrate, BSA and proline as nitrogen sources, 2 biological replicates for each source. A. fumigatus liquid media shifts were performed according to ref. (Narendja et al.,2002) with minor modifications: 200 ml minimal medium base with 5 mM ammonium tartrate was inoculated with 10^8 conidia freshly harvested. A. fumigatus ATCC 46645 conidia were grown at 37°C and 150 rpm for 16 hours. This pre-culture was then harvested, washed liberally with sterile saline and divided into mycelial masses of equal size on a sterile surface. The portions were then added to 100 ml of minimal medium base without nitrogen source. When a defined carbon source was needed, 1% glucose was added. Flasks were incubated for 20 min at 37°C. Thereafter, one of the following sterile nitrogen sources was added: ammonium tartrate to a final concentration of 5 mM, Sodiumnitrate to a final concentration of 10 mM, 1 g proline suspended in 2 ml minimal medium base, or 0.5 g BSA (Albumin Fraktion V, Roth), suspended in 15 ml minimal medium base. The cultures were incubated for another 60 minutes, harvested by filtering through Miracloth, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, and ground using a cooled mortar to obtain a fine powder.

Project description:This project aimed to characterize inter-species interactions between the A. fumigatus and K. pneumoniae microbial pathogens by analyzing the proteomic profiles of single-pathogen cultures and co-cultures. Biofilms of both A. fumigatus and K. pneumoniae were grown for 24 hours at 37°C in 3 mL of YNBP minimal medium [1.7 g/L yeast nitrogen base (YNB) without amino acids, 5g/L ammonium sulfate, 25 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.0 (KH2PO4 + K2HPO4), 2.5 mM N-acetyl-glucosamine, 0.2% glucose, 0.1% maltose]. Protein pellets obtained from these conditions were further analyzed, revealing metabolic rearrangements and differences in cell cycle regulation due to the interaction. Proteomic profiling, in general, provided new insights into the metabolic reshaping critical for the pathogens to navigate in the course of polymicrobial infection. Additionally, an exploration of the produced compounds uncovered potential biomarker candidates.

Project description:In E. coli the phosphate homeostasis is regulated by the Pst system and the two-component system PhoB/R. Pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 are responsible for many outbreaks and can be found and survive in poor inorganic phosphate (Pi) environments. To understand global EHEC O157:H7 EDL933 strain responses to Pi-starvation, we compared the transcriptomes of EDL933 the WT strain grown in MOPS Pi rich medium and that grown in MOPS Pi poor medium, using the Affymetrix GeneChip® E. coli Genome 2.0 Array. Also we investigated the EDL933 global response to the absence of PhoB by comparing the transcriptomes of the WT strain the ΔphoB mutant both grown in Low Pi

Project description:Pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 are responsible for many outbreaks and can be found and survive in poor inorganic phosphate (Pi) environments. In E. coli the phosphate homeostasis is regulated by the Pst system and the two-component system PhoB/R. In a Δpst mutant, PhoB is constitutively activated and biofilm formation is increased. To understand how PhoB activation lead to biofilm increase, we compared the transcriptomes of EDL933 the WT strain and Δpst mutant both grown in MOPS Pi rich medium, using the Affymetrix GeneChip® E. coli Genome 2.0 Array.
