Project description:To gain insight into the basic mechanism of Hydrogen peroxide detoxification in the methylotrophic yeast, H. polymorpha, we analyzed changes in transcriptional profiles in response to hydrogen peroxide exposure.
Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes multiple infections, including pneumonia, bacteremia, and wound infections. Due to multiple intrinsic and acquired drug-resistance mechanisms, A. baumannii isolates are commonly multi-drug resistant and infections are notoriously difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to identify mechanisms used by A. baumannii to survive stresses encountered during infection as a means of identifying new drug targets. In this study, we determined the transcriptional response of A. baumannii to hydrogen peroxide stress using RNASequencing. Upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, A. baumannii differentially transcribes several hundred genes. In this study, we also determined the transcriptional profile of A. baumannii strains with the transcriptional regulators mumR or oxyR genetically inactivated and identified transcriptional differences between these strains and wild-type A. baumannii in response to hydrogen peroxide stress. In doing this, the function of A. baumannii OxyR in hydrogen peroxide stress resistance and regulation of genes required for hydrogen peroxide detoxification was defined. Moreover, the contribution of the uncharacterized regulator MumR to hydrogen peroxide stress resistance was also explored. This work reveals the transcriptome of an important human pathogen in the presence of hydrogen peroxide stress.
Project description:Marine ammonia-oxidizing archaea are known to lack the catalase gene that functions as a scavenger at high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, nearly isolated ammonia-oxidizing archaea require the addition of a hydrogen peroxide scavenger to their culture medium, despite being aerobic. To understand the transcriptomic response to hydrogen peroxide stress, we performed RNA-Seq analysis under two different conditions: one without the addition of a hydrogen peroxide scavenger and one with the addition of a hydrogen peroxide scavenger as a control.
Project description:The goal of this study is to characterize a gshF::cam L. plantarum strain NZ7608. From phenotype characterization we have observed that the gene gshF plays a role in hydrogen peroxide resistance in L. plantarum and therefore we wanted to analyze the global transcriptome response of strain NZ7608 towards peroxide and compared this to wild type response. In this experiment we compared two L. plantarum strains: WCFS1 (wild type) and NZ7618 (gshF::cam). Both strains were grown -in duplo- on CDM containing 0.5% glucose at 37 degrees celsius. When cell density reached OD600=1.0 a hydrogen peroxide stress was given to the cultures to a final concentration of 10mM. Samples were taken at times (0 10 and 30 minutes) upon hydrogen peroxide. All withdrawn samples were used for this microarray experiment. Keywords: peroxide, gshF mutant
Project description:To gain insight into the basic mechanism of Hydrogen peroxide detoxification in the methylotrophic yeast, H. polymorpha, we analyzed changes in transcriptional profiles in response to hydrogen peroxide exposure. Total RNA samples were collected from H. polymorpha cells after 30 min incubation with 0.5mM hydrogen peroxide. Using the RNA sample obtained prior to hydrogen peroxide addition as a reference, the differential fluorescence intensities of each RNA sample prepared at the indicated time was measured after labeling with Cy3 or Cy5 fluorochromes. For all analyses, we performed dye swapping experiments to avoid dye bias.
