Escherichia Coli K-12 in Response to Trimethylamine-N-Oxide Studying the adaptation of Escherichia coli K-12 in response to trimethylamine-N-oxide A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, The University of Sheffield Katie Jane Denby MBiolSci (Hons) University of Sheffield September 2016 I Abstract Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative, metabolically versatile facultative anaerobe, which utilises either fermentation, anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration for energy generation and growth. Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is used by E. coli as an alternative terminal electron acceptor, being reduced to trimethylamine (TMA). Although the regulation and operation of the E. coli TMAO respiratory chain (TorCAD) are well characterised, there is no understanding of the dynamic adaptive processes that occur in E. coli during transition from fermentative to TMAO-respiratory growth. Here, glucose-limited chemostat cultures were used to study these adaptive processes. Analyses of the transcriptional and metabolic changes occurring when E. coli K-12 responds to TMAO revealed a number of unexpected components of the adaptive process. Firstly, it was found that growth on a sub-optimal concentration of TMAO resulted in mixed metabolism, with two distinct sub-populations of cells that either activate or do not activate the transcription of the torCAD operon in response to TMAO. DNA methylation was found to contribute to this regulation in response to low concentrations of TMAO. Secondly, it was found that E. coli possesses TMAO demethylase activity, as both the products of this activity, dimethylamine and formaldehyde and the induction of the frmRAB operon was detected when cells were grown in the presence of TMAO. Work was carried out to characterise the regulator protein, FrmR, of the frmRAB operon. Here, it is shown that the FrmR transcriptional repressor specifically reacts with formaldehyde, resulting in the formation of two inter-molecular methylene bridges between the N-terminal Pro2 and Cys35 residues of adjacent FrmR subunits, leading to alleviation of repression. It was also shown that growth yield was higher in the presence of TMAO under aerobic conditions eventhough TMAO reduction to TMA was not detected. Futhermore, the nitrate response regulator NarL does not directly regulate the torCAD operon.

The deletion of rpoS or soxRS decreased yjcC expression, implying an RpoS- or SoxRS-dependent control. After paraquat or H2O2 treatment, the deletion of yjcC reduced bacterial survival. These effects could be complemented by introducing the DyjcC mutant with the YjcC-expression plasmid pJR1. The recombinant protein containing only the YjcC-EAL domain exhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity; overexpression of yjcC has lower levels of cyclic di-GMP. The yjcC deletion mutant also exhibited increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, oxidation damage, and oxidative stress scavenging activity. In addition, the yjcC deletion reduced capsular polysaccharide production in the bacteria, but increased the LD50 in mice, biofilm formation, and type 3 fimbriae major pilin MrkA production. Finally, a comparative transcriptome analysis showed 34 upregulated and 29 downregulated genes with the increased production of YjcC. The activated gene products include glutaredoxin I, thioredoxin, heat shock proteins, chaperone, and MrkHI, and proteins for energy metabolism (transporters, cell surface structure, and transcriptional regulation).

    Kumka and Bauer BMC Genomics (2015) 16:895 DOI 10.1186/s12864-015-2162-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of the FnrL regulon in Rhodobacter capsulatus reveals limited regulon overlap with orthologues from Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Escherichia coli Joseph E. Kumka and Carl E. Bauer* Abstract Background: FNR homologues constitute an important class of transcription factors that control a wide range of anaerobic physiological functions in a number of bacterial species. Since FNR homologues are some of the most pervasive transcription factors, an understanding of their involvement in regulating anaerobic gene expression in different species sheds light on evolutionary similarity and differences. To address this question, we used a combination of high throughput RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq analysis to define the extent of the FnrL regulon in Rhodobacter capsulatus and related our results to that of FnrL in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and FNR in Escherichia coli. Results: Our RNA-seq results show that FnrL affects the expression of 807 genes, which accounts for over 20 % of the Rba. capsulatus genome. ChIP-seq results indicate that 42 of these genes are directly regulated by FnrL. Importantly, this includes genes involved in the synthesis of the anoxygenic photosystem. Similarly, FnrL in Rba. sphaeroides affects 24 % of its genome, however, only 171 genes are differentially expressed in common between two Rhodobacter species, suggesting significant divergence in regulation. Conclusions: We show that FnrL in Rba. capsulatus activates photosynthesis while in Rba. sphaeroides FnrL regulation reported to involve repression of the photosystem. This analysis highlights important differences in transcriptional control of photosynthetic events and other metabolic processes controlled by FnrL orthologues in closely related Rhodobacter species.

These alternative electron transport components have been extensively studied in plants like Arabidopsis and stress inducible isoforms identified, but we know very little about them in the important crop plant chickpea. Here we identify AP components in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and explore their response to stress at the transcript level. Based on sequence similarity with the functionally characterized proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana, five putative internal (matrix)-facing NAD(P)H dehydrogenases (CaNDA1-4 and CaNDC1) and four putative external (inter-membrane space)-facing NAD(P)H dehydrogenases (CaNDB1-4) were identified in chickpea.

  • The Escherichia Coli Narl Receiver Domain Regulates Transcription
    Katsir et al. BMC Microbiology (2015) 15:174 DOI 10.1186/s12866-015-0502-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The Escherichia coli NarL receiver domain regulates transcription through promoter specific functions Galit Katsir1,3,4, Michael Jarvis2,5, Martin Phillips1, Zhongcai Ma2,6 and Robert P. Gunsalus2,3* Abstract Background: The Escherichia coli response regulator NarL controls transcription of genes involved in nitrate respiration during anaerobiosis. NarL consists of two domains joined by a linker that wraps around the interdomain interface. Phosphorylation of the NarL N-terminal receiver domain (RD) releases the, otherwise sequestered, C-terminal output domain (OD) that subsequently binds specific DNA promoter sites to repress or activate gene expression. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which the NarL OD and RD function independently to regulate transcription, and the affect of the linker on OD function. Results: NarL OD constructs containing different linker segments were examined for their ability to repress frdA-lacZ or activate narG-lacZ reporter fusion genes. These in vivo expression assays revealed that the NarL OD, in the absence or presence of linker helix α6, constitutively repressed frdA-lacZ expression regardless of nitrate availability. However, the presence of the linker loop α5-α6reversedthisrepressionandalsoshowedimpairedDNAbindingin vitro.The OD alone could not activate narG-lacZ expression; this activity required the presence of the NarL RD. A footprint assay demonstrated that the NarL OD only partially bound recognition sites at the narG promoter, and the binding affinity was increased by the presence of the phosphorylated RD. Analytical ultracentrifugation used to examine domain oligomerization showed that the NarL RD forms dimers in solution while the OD is monomeric.

  • Pleuropneumoniae Gene Expression
    Global Effects of Catecholamines on Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Gene Expression Lu Li, Zhuofei Xu, Yang Zhou, Lili Sun, Ziduo Liu, Huanchun Chen, Rui Zhou* Division of Animal Infectious Diseases in State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China Abstract Bacteria can use mammalian hormones to modulate pathogenic processes that play essential roles in disease development. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important porcine respiratory pathogen causing great economic losses in the pig industry globally. Stress is known to contribute to the outcome of A. pleuropneumoniae infection. To test whether A. pleuropneumoniae could respond to stress hormone catecholamines, gene expression profiles after epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NE) treatment were compared with those from untreated bacteria. The microarray results showed that 158 and 105 genes were differentially expressed in the presence of Epi and NE, respectively. These genes were assigned to various functional categories including many virulence factors. Only 18 genes were regulated by both hormones. These genes included apxIA (the ApxI toxin structural gene), pgaB (involved in biofilm formation), APL_0443 (an autotransporter adhesin) and genes encoding potential hormone receptors such as tyrP2, the ygiY-ygiX (qseC-qseB) operon and narQ-narP (involved in nitrate metabolism). Further investigations demonstrated that cytotoxic activity was enhanced by Epi but repressed by NE in accordance with apxIA gene expression changes. Biofilm formation was not affected by either of the two hormones despite pgaB expression being affected. Adhesion to host cells was induced by NE but not by Epi, suggesting that the hormones affect other putative adhesins in addition to APL_0443. This study revealed that A.

  • Prokaryotic Genome Regulation: a Revolutionary Paradigm
    No. 9] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 88 (2012) 485 Review Prokaryotic genome regulation: A revolutionary paradigm † By Akira ISHIHAMA*1, (Communicated by Tasuku HONJO, M.J.A.) Abstract: After determination of the whole genome sequence, the research frontier of bacterial molecular genetics has shifted to reveal the genome regulation under stressful conditions in nature. The gene selectivity of RNA polymerase is modulated after interaction with two groups of regulatory proteins, 7 sigma factors and 300 transcription factors. For identification of regulation targets of transcription factors in Escherichia coli, we have developed Genomic SELEX system and subjected to screening the binding sites of these factors on the genome. The number of regulation targets by a single transcription factor was more than those hitherto recognized, ranging up to hundreds of promoters. The number of transcription factors involved in regulation of a single promoter also increased to as many as 30 regulators. The multi-target transcription factors and the multi-factor promoters were assembled into complex networks of transcription regulation. The most complex network was identified in the regulation cascades of transcription of two master regulators for planktonic growth and biofilm formation. Keywords: transcription regulation, genome regulation, transcription factor, regulation network, genomic SELEX, Escherichia coli developed and employed to reveal the expression of 1.

Abstract The pathogenic properties of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strain 042 results from the synchronised expression of virulence factors, which include the Plasmid Encoded Toxin. Pet is a member of the serine protease autotransporter of the Enterobacteriaceae family and contributes to infection by cleaving α-fodrin, disrupting the actin cytoskeleton of host cells. The expression of Pet is induced by global transcription factor CRP with further enhancement by the nucleoid associated protein Fis. This study identifies the residues of RNA polymerase, Fis and CRP required for the induction of transcription, thereby clarifying the mechanism of activation employed by the transcription factors. Fis activates transcription from the Fis binding site via a direct interaction with RNA polymerase, facilitated by protein specific determinants. This interaction is dependent on the position of the Fis binding site on the DNA and it subsequent orientation on the helical face of the DNA.

  • Cellular Respiration Liberation of Energy by Oxidation of Food
    Cellular Respiration Liberation of Energy by Oxidation of Food Respiration and Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis uses CO2 and H2O molecules to form C6H12O6 (glucose) and O2. Respiration is just the opposite of photosynthesis; it uses O2 to breakdown glucose into CO2 and H2O. It results in chemical cycling in biosphere. Respiration and Breathing: Respiration takes place in cells and needs O2 to breakdown food and releases the waste matter CO2. Breathing exchanges these gases between lungs and air. Overall equation for cellular respiration is: C6H1206 + O2 6CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP Glucose Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Water Energy Redox reactions: reduction-oxidation reactions. The gain of electrons during a chemical reaction is called Reduction. The loss of electrons during a chemical reaction is called Oxidation. Glucose is oxidized to 6CO2 and O2 is reduced to 6H2O during cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose loses electrons and H, and O2 gains them. Energy and Food All living things need energy. Some living things can make their food from CO2 and H2O – Producers (plants, algae) Animals feeding on plants – herbivores (chipmunk) Animals feeding on animals – Carnivores (lion) Producers change solar energy to chemical energy of organic molecules – glucose, amino acids Animals and also plants break chemical bonds of sugar molecules and make ATP. Use ATP for all cellular functions 4 Main Step of Cellular Respiration Glycolysis: Glucose + 2NAD + 2ADP 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2 ATP Preparatory Step: Pyruvate + NAD Acetyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH Krebs Cycle: Acetyl-CoA + NAD + FAD + ADP CO2 + NADH + FADH + ATP Electron Transport Chain: electrons of NADH + O2 ATP + H2O Cellular Respiration Aerobic Harvest of energy: is the main source of energy for most organisms.
