Project description:We have performed ChIP-Seq experiment for the global regulators, CRP and Fis in early and mid exponential growth phases respectively in Escherichia coli K12 MG1655. The dataset contains the genome wide binding patterns of Fis and CRP in the wildtype and the mutant strains
Project description:To understand the influence of global transcription regulators Fis and CRP on global gene expression in different growth phases of E. coli.
Project description:The regulatory role of the Fis protein in fis and in the transcription of several gene regions during mid-exponential and late-stationary phase, and during different growth aeration regimes, has been investigated. Studies were done during those two growth phases and in aerated and non-aerated (microaerobic) conditions, to measure Fis enrichment and binding peaks in strategic gene regions by genome-wide microarray analysis ChIP-chip. This research investigation points to central roles for SPI-1, SPI-2, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase I, the elements of the stringent response, and the regulatory function of Fis-binding patterns, in setting and re-setting the activity of the fis gene and other involved promoters as a function of the growth conditions and aeration regimes experienced by Salmonella.
Project description:Fis is a nucleoid-associated protein in E. coli that is abundant during early logarithmic growth in rich medium but is in short supply during stationary phase. Its role as a transcriptional regulator has been demonstrated for an increasing number of genes. In order to gain insight into the global effects of Fis on E. coli gene expression during different stages of growth in rich medium, DNA microarray analyses were conducted in fis and wild type strains during early log, mid log, late log, and stationary growth phases. We used microarrays to detail the global impact of Fis on gene expression in Escherichia coli Keywords: time course

One sample with four different treatments. Three biological replicates per sample. The Aerated 2 hour sample was set as the control condition for all samples.
Project description:The Fis nucleoid-associated protein controls the expression of a large and diverse regulon of genes in Gram-negative bacteria. Fis production is normally maximal in bacteria during the early exponential phase of batch culture growth, becoming almost undetectable by the onset of stationary phase. We tested the effect of rewiring the Fis regulatory network in Salmonella by moving the complete fis gene from its usual location near the origin of chromosomal replication to the position normally occupied by the dps gene in the Right macrodomain of the chromosome, creating the strain GX. In a parallel experiment, we tested the effect of placing the fis open reading frame under the control of the stationary-phase-activated dps promoter at the dps genetic location within Ter, creating the strain OX. ChIP-seq was used to measure global Fis protein binding and gene expression patterns. Strain GX showed few changes when compared with the wild type, although we did detect increased Fis binding at Ter, accompanied by reduced binding at Ori. Strain OX displayed a more pronounced version of this distorted Fis protein-binding pattern together with numerous alterations in the expression of genes in the Fis regulon. OX, but not GX, had a reduced ability to infect cultured mammalian cells, had undergone a reduction in competitive fitness and had reduced motility compared to the wild type. These findings illustrate the inherent robustness of the Fis regulatory network to rewiring based on gene repositioning alone and emphasise the importance of fis expression signals in phenotypic determination.
