Project description:We investigated the impact of cadmium on the global transcriptome of E. coli wild type, ∆gshA and ∆gshB mutant cells to evaluate the molecular basis of cadmium toxicity in the presence or absence of cellular thiols. This global transcriptome analysis were done with cells synthezising GSH (wild type), gamma-glutamyl-cysteine (∆gshB mutant) or neither of the two cellular thiols (∆gshA mutant) under the influence of 100 µM Cd(II).
Project description:DNA damage induces the mutations that drive bacterial adaption, evolution, and antibiotic escape. Both mutagenic and non-mutagenic DNA damage repair is coordinated by the SOS response, but despite extensive work, the functions of some SOS-induced genes remain obscure. Here, we clarify the function of Escherichia coli SbmC (GyrI). Despite its proposed function as a gyrase inhibitor, cells either lacking or overexpressing SbmC instead exhibit phenotypes consistent with a role in limiting DNA damage and cellular variation. Importantly, SbmC levels inversely correlate with E. coli mutation rate. Excess SbmC limits mutation whereas loss of SbmC increases mutation, possibly because ∆sbmC cells variably induce the SOS response, including mutagenic DNA Pol V. We additionally show that SbmC is dispensable for survival in the presence of double-strand break inducing drugs but is required to limit their mutational effects. Finally, evolutionary analysis indicates that bacterial SbmC homologs maintain their small molecule-binding domain but not the gyrase interacting residues identified in E. coli. Together, our findings suggest that SbmC-like proteins may bind to a yet-unknown cofactor to limit DNA damage and organismal evolution.
