Project description:Diagnostic primer extension assay to serotype Streptococcus pneumoniae. Assay validation. Background: Monitoring of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype epidemiology is essential since serotype replacement is a concern when introducing new polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines. To simplify S. pneumoniae serotyping, a novel PCR-based automated microarray assay was developed to assist in the tracking of the serotypes. Results: Autolysin (lytA), pneumolysin (ply) and eight genes located in the capsular operon (cps) were amplified using multiplex PCR. This step was followed by a tagged fluorescent primer extension step targeting serotype-specific polymorphisms. The tagged primers were then hybridized to a microarray. Results were exported to an expert system that transforms genetic typing data into capsular serotype identification. The assay was validated on 166 cultured S. pneumoniae samples from 63 different serotypes as determined by the Quellung method. In addition, the assay was tested on clinical specimens including 43 cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with meningitidis and 59 nasopharyngeal aspirates from bacterial pneumonia patients. The assay presented with no cross-reactivity for 24 relevant bacterial species found in these types of samples. The limit of detection for serotyping and S. pneumoniae detection was 100 genome equivalent per reaction. Conclusion: This automated assay is amenable to clinical testing and does not require any culturing of the samples. The assay will be useful for the evaluation of serotype prevalence changes after new conjugate vaccines introduction.

Project description:We report here an experimental search for small non-coding RNAs in a low GC, gram-positive, human pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. Based on the bioinformatic analyses by Livny et al. (2006, Nucleic Acids Res. 34:3484-93), we tested 36 candidates by Northern analyses and confirmed the expression of 8 novel and one previously-reported sRNAs (CcnA) in the genome of D39 serotype 2 strain. Some of the sRNAs showed differential expression in stationary phase or after treatment with competence stimulatory peptide compared to untreated exponential cells. One sRNA we detected is CcnA, one of five CiaR-controlled non-coding RNA (CcnA to E) reported previously. By ectopically expressing this sRNA in a ΔciaR strain, we provide evidence that CcnA plays important roles in the regulation of growth and chain length of S. pneumoniae. Microarray analysis comparing global gene expression of CcnA-expressing and CcnA-nonexpressing ΔciaR strains showed significant differences in expression of competence related genes and five putative transcriptional regulators. QPCR and transformation assays further confirmed that CcnA sRNA mediates a strong negative effect on competence development. Our findings suggested many of the CiaRH function may be mediated via Ccn sRNAs and that sRNAs play regulatory roles in S. pneumoniae, an organism that lacks Hfq RNA chaperone.

Project description:In our study, deletion of methionine synthesis gene metE (SPD_0510) impaired the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae strain D39 significantly when bacteria were cultured in chemically defined medium with a low concentration of methionine. Bacteria undergo methionine starvation in this condition. We aimed to know how S. pneumoniae responses to methionine starvation, particularly at the transcriptional level. RNA-seq results show that 804 genes (41.2 % of whole genome) were differentially expressed under methionine starvation. Among them, 258 genes (32.1 %) are related to cell metabolism, with 75 genes involved in sugar and carbon metabolism, 88 genes for synthesis of metabolic products and 95 genes for uptake of amino acids and sugars. Combined with other experiments data, this showed the reprogrammed metabolism in S. pneumoniae under methionine starvation.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human respiratory pathogen and the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), which often act by post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression, have been shown to be crucial for the virulence of S. pneumoniae and other bacterial pathogens. Over 170 putative sRNAs have been identified in S. pneumoniae TIGR4 strain (serotype 4) through transcriptomic studies, and a subset of these sRNAs have been further implicated in regulating pneumococcal pathogenesis. However, there was little overlap in the sRNAs identified among these studies, which indicated that the approaches used for sRNA identification were not sufficiently sensitive and robust and that there were likely many more undiscovered sRNAs encoded in the S. pneumoniae genome. Here, we sought to comprehensively identify sRNAs in Avery's virulent S. pneumoniae strain D39 using two independent RNA-seq based approaches. We developed an unbiased method for identifying novel sRNAs from bacterial RNA-seq data and have further tested the specificity of our analysis program towards identifying sRNAs encoded by both strains D39 and TIGR4. Interestingly, the genes for 15% of the putative sRNAs identified in strain TIGR4 including ones previously implicated in virulence were not present in strain D39 genome suggesting that the differences in sRNA repertoires between these two serotypes may contribute to their strain-specific virulence properties. Finally, this study has identified 67 new sRNA candidates in strain D39, 28 out of which have been further validated, raising the total number of sRNAs that have been identified in strain D39 to 112.

Project description:Genome-wide screens have discovered a large set of essential genes in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, the function of many essential genes is still unknown, hampering vaccine and drug development programs. Based on results from transposon-sequencing (Tn-Seq), we refined the list of essential genes in S. pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39. Next, we created a knockdown library targeting all 391 potentially essential genes using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi). Using high-content microscopy screening, we searched for essential genes of unknown function with clear phenotypes in cell morphology upon CRISPRi-based depletion. We identified SPD1416 and SPD1417 (named to MurT and GatD, respectively) as essential peptidoglycan synthesis proteins and we show that SPD1198 and SPD1197 (named to TarP and TarQ, respectively) are responsible for the polymerization of teichoic acid (TA) precursors. This knowledge enabled us to reconstruct the unique pneumococcal TA biosynthetic pathway. Our CRISPRi library provides a valuable tool for characterization of pneumococcal genes and pathways and revealed several promising antibiotic targets. This RNA-Seq dataset is aimed to show that induction of the CRISPRi system very selectively represses its target gene, firefly luciferase, without other observable transcriptional effects.
