Project description:In bacteria, one paradigm for signal transduction is the two-component regulatory system, consisting of a sensor kinase (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a DNA binding protein). The EnvZ/OmpR two-component system in E. coli responds to osmotic stress and regulates expression of outer membrane proteins. Furthermore, bacteria were believed to regulate pH by acidifying after external acid stress, then immediately recovering. Using a pH-sensor in single living cells, we show that E. coli maintain an acidic cytoplasm. The osmotic stress transcription factor OmpR, was required. Thus, we set out to identify the OmpR targets under acid and osmotic stress.

Typhimurium maintain an acidic cytoplasm under sucrose-driven osmotic stress which requires OmpR. Thus, we set out to identify the OmpR targets of S. Typhimurium under osmotic stress.

Project description:Background The osmotic regulator OmpR in Escherichia coli regulates differentially the expression of major porin proteins OmpF and OmpC. In Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis, OmpR is required for both virulence and survival within macrophages. However, the phenotypic and regulatory roles of OmpR in Y. pestis are not yet fully understood. Results Y. pestis OmpR is involved in building resistance against phagocytosis and controls the adaptation to various stressful conditions met in macrophages. The ompR mutation likely did not affect the virulence of Y. pestis strain 201 that was a human-avirulent enzootic strain. The microarray-based comparative transcriptome analysis disclosed a set of 224 genes whose expressions were affected by the ompR mutation, indicating the global regulatory role of OmpR in Y. pestis. Real-time RT-PCR or lacZ fusion reporter assay further validated 16 OmpR-dependent genes, for which OmpR consensus-like sequences were found within their upstream DNA regions. ompC, F, X, and R were up-regulated dramatically with the increase of medium osmolarity, which was mediated by OmpR occupying the target promoter regions in a tandem manner. Conclusion OmpR contributes to the resistance against phagocytosis or survival within macrophages, which is conserved in the pathogenic yersiniae. Y. pestis OmpR regulates ompC, F, X, and R directly through OmpR-promoter DNA association. There is an inducible expressions of the pore-forming proteins OmpF, C, and X at high osmolarity in Y. pestis, in contrast to the reciprocal regulation of them in E. coli. The main difference is that ompF expression is not repressed at high osmolarity in Y. pestis, which is likely due to the absence of a promoter-distal OmpR-binding site for ompF.

Project description:A transcription factor (TF), OmpR, plays a critical role in transcriptional regulation of the defense system for osmotic stress in bacteria. However, its full genome-wide regulatory potential is unknown. Here, we perform a genome-scale reconstruction of the OmpR regulon in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. Integrative data analysis reveals that a total of 37 genes in 24 transcription units (TUs) belong to OmpR regulon. Among them, 26 genes show more than two-fold changes in expression level under OmpR knock-out condition. We find that OmpR tends to regulate mostly membrane-located gene products of diverse fundamental biological processes, such as narU, ompX, and nuoN. Investigating co-regulation of entire set of genes regulated by other stress-response TFs unveils that they are surprisingly independently regulated by TF(s) responding to each stress. Additionally, detailed investigation of physiological roles of newly discovered OmpR regulon reveals that activation of narU encoding nitrate/nitrite transporter is a relatively unique strategy of E. coli K-12 MG1655 to significantly improve cellular tolerance toward osmotic stress.

The main difference is that ompF expression is not repressed at high osmolarity in Y. pestis, which is likely due to the absence of a promoter-distal OmpR-binding site for ompF. Bacterial strains The wild-type (WT) Y. pestis biovar microtus strain 201 is avirulent to humans but highly lethal to mice [1]. The 43 to 666 base pairs of ompR (720bp in total length) were replaced by the kanamycin resistance cassette using the one-step inactivation method based on the lambda Red phage recombination system, with the helper plasmid pKD46, to generate the ompR mutants of Y. pestis (designated as ΔompR) [2]. Chromosomal integration of the mutagenic cassette was confirmed by PCR and sequencing using oligonucleotides external to the integrated cassette (data not shown). The elimination of pKD46 in ΔompR was verified by PCR. Bacterial growth and RNA isolation Overnight cultures (an OD620 of about 1.0) of WT or ΔompR in the chemically defined TMH medium [3] were diluted 1:20 into the fresh TMH. Bacterial cells were grown at 26°C to the middle exponential growth phase (an OD620 of about 1.0). To trigger the high osmolarity conditions in OmpR-related experiments, a final concentration of 0.5 M sorbitol was added, after which the cell cultures were allowed to grow for another 20 min. Total RNA of bacterial cells was extracted using the TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen) without the DNA removal step (for RT-PCR and primer extension) or by using MasterPureTM RNA Purification kit (Epicenter) with the removal of contaminated DNA (for microarray). Immediately before harvesting, bacterial cultures were mixed with RNAprotect Bacteria Reagent (Qiagen) to minimize RNA degradation. RNA quality was monitored by agarose gel electrophoresis, and RNA quantity was determined using a spectrophotometer. Microarray expression analysis Gene expression profiles were compared between WT and ΔompR using a Y. pestis whole-genome cDNA microarray as described in a previous work [4]. RNA samples were isolated from four individual bacterial cultures as biological replicates for each strain. The dual-fluorescently (Cy3 or Cy5 dye) labeled cDNA probes, for which the incorporated dye was reversed, were synthesized from the RNA samples. These were then hybridized to 4 separated microarray slides. A ratio of mRNA levels was calculated for each gene. Significant changes of gene expression were identified using the SAM software [5]. After the SAM analysis, only genes with at least two-fold changes in expression were collected for further analysis. References 1. Zhou D, Tong Z, Song Y, Han Y, Pei D, et al.
