Chromosome methylation and measurement of faithful, once and only once per cell cycle chromosome replication in Caulobacter crescentus. (1/444)

Caulobacter crescentus exhibits cell-type-specific control of chromosome replication and DNA methylation. Asymmetric cell division yields a replicating stalked cell and a nonreplicating swarmer cell. The motile swarmer cell must differentiate into a sessile stalked cell in order to replicate and execute asymmetric cell division. This program of cell division implies that chromosome replication initiates in the stalked cell only once per cell cycle. DNA methylation is restricted to the predivisional cell stage, and since DNA synthesis produces an unmethylated nascent strand, late DNA methylation also implies that DNA near the replication origin remains hemimethylated longer than DNA located further away. In this report, both assumptions are tested with an engineered Tn5-based transposon, Tn5Omega-MP. This allows a sensitive Southern blot assay that measures fully methylated, hemimethylated, and unmethylated DNA duplexes. Tn5Omega-MP was placed at 11 sites around the chromosome and it was clearly demonstrated that Tn5Omega-MP DNA near the replication origin remained hemimethylated longer than DNA located further away. One Tn5Omega-MP placed near the replication origin revealed small but detectable amounts of unmethylated duplex DNA in replicating stalked cells. Extra DNA synthesis produces a second unmethylated nascent strand. Therefore, measurement of unmethylated DNA is a critical test of the "once and only once per cell cycle" rule of chromosome replication in C. crescentus. Fewer than 1 in 1,000 stalked cells prematurely initiate a second round of chromosome replication. The implications for very precise negative control of chromosome replication are discussed with respect to the bacterial cell cycle.  (+info)

The CtrA response regulator mediates temporal control of gene expression during the Caulobacter cell cycle. (2/444)

In its role as a global response regulator, CtrA controls the transcription of a diverse group of genes at different times in the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. To understand the differential regulation of CtrA-controlled genes, we compared the expression of two of these genes, the fliQ flagellar gene and the ccrM DNA methyltransferase gene. Despite their similar promoter architecture, these genes are transcribed at different times in the cell cycle. PfliQ is activated earlier than PccrM. Phosphorylated CtrA (CtrA approximately P) bound to the CtrA recognition sequence in both promoters but had a 10- to 20-fold greater affinity for PfliQ. This difference in affinity correlates with temporal changes in the cellular levels of CtrA. Disrupting a unique inverted repeat element in PccrM significantly reduced promoter activity but not the timing of transcription initiation, suggesting that the inverted repeat does not play a major role in the temporal control of ccrM expression. Our data indicate that differences in the affinity of CtrA approximately P for PfliQ and PccrM regulate, in part, the temporal expression of these genes. However, the timing of fliQ transcription but not of ccrM transcription was altered in cells expressing a stable CtrA derivative, indicating that changes in CtrA approximately P levels alone cannot govern the cell cycle transcription of these genes. We propose that changes in the cellular concentration of CtrA approximately P and its interaction with accessory proteins influence the temporal expression of fliQ, ccrM, and other key cell cycle genes and ultimately the regulation of the cell cycle.  (+info)

Cell cycle-dependent polar localization of an essential bacterial histidine kinase that controls DNA replication and cell division. (3/444)

The master CtrA response regulator functions in Caulobacter to repress replication initiation in different phases of the cell cycle. Here, we identify an essential histidine kinase, CckA, that is responsible for CtrA activation by phosphorylation. Although CckA is present throughout the cell cycle, it moves to a cell pole in S phase, and upon cell division it disperses. Removal of the membrane-spanning region of CckA results in loss of polar localization and cell death. We propose that polar CckA functions to activate CtrA just after the initiation of DNA replication, thereby preventing premature reinitiations of chromosome replication. Thus, dynamic changes in cellular location of critical signal proteins provide a novel mechanism for the control of the prokaryote cell cycle.  (+info)

Identification and transcriptional control of the genes encoding the Caulobacter crescentus ClpXP protease. (4/444)

The region of the Caulobacter crescentus chromosome harboring the genes for the ClpXP protease was isolated and characterized. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the C. crescentus ClpP and ClpX proteins with those of their homologues from several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria revealed stronger conservation for the ATPase regulatory subunit (ClpX) than for the peptidase subunit (ClpP). The C. crescentus clpX gene was shown by complementation analysis to be functional in Escherichia coli. However, clpX from E. coli was not able to substitute for the essential nature of the clpX gene in C. crescentus. The clpP and clpX genes are separated on the C. crescentus chromosome by an open reading frame pointing in the opposite direction from the clp genes, and transcription of clpP and clpX was found to be uncoupled. clpP is transcribed as a monocistronic unit with a promoter (PP1) located immediately upstream of the 5' end of the gene and a terminator structure following its 3' end. PP1 is under heat shock control and is induced upon entry of the cells into the stationary phase. At least three promoters for clpX (PX1, PX2, and PX3) were mapped in the clpP-clpX intergenic region. In contrast to PP1, the clpX promoters were found to be downregulated after heat shock but were also subject to growth phase control. In addition, the clpP and clpX promoters showed different activity patterns during the cell cycle. Together, these results demonstrate that the genes coding for the peptidase and the regulatory subunits of the ClpXP protease are under independent transcriptional control in C. crescentus. Determination of the numbers of ClpP and ClpX molecules per cell suggested that ClpX is the limiting component compared with ClpP.  (+info)

Cell cycle expression and transcriptional regulation of DNA topoisomerase IV genes in caulobacter. (5/444)

DNA replication and differentiation are closely coupled during the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. We have previously shown that DNA topoisomerase IV (topo IV), which is encoded by the parE and parC genes, is required for chromosomal partitioning, cell division, and differentiation in this bacterium (D. Ward and A. Newton, Mol. Microbiol. 26:897-910, 1997). We have examined the cell cycle regulation of parE and parC and report here that transcription of these topo IV genes is induced during the swarmer-to-stalked-cell transition when cells prepare for initiation of DNA synthesis. The regulation of parE and parC expression is not strictly coordinated, however. The rate of parE transcription increases ca. 20-fold during the G1-to-S-phase transition and in this respect, its pattern of regulation is similar to those of several other genes required for chromosome duplication. Transcription from the parC promoter, by contrast, is induced only two- to threefold during this cell cycle period. Steady-state ParE levels are also regulated, increasing ca. twofold from low levels in swarmer cells to a maximum immediately prior to cell division, while differences in ParC levels during the cell cycle could not be detected. These results suggest that topo IV activity may be regulated primarily through parE expression. The presumptive promoters of the topo IV genes display striking similarities to, as well as differences from, the consensus promoter recognized by the major Caulobacter sigma factor sigma73. We also present evidence that a conserved 8-mer sequence motif located in the spacers between the -10 and -35 elements of the parE and parC promoters is required for maximum levels of parE transcription, which raises the possibility that it may function as a positive regulatory element. The pattern of parE transcription and the parE and parC promoter architecture suggest that the topo IV genes belong to a specialized subset of cell cycle-regulated genes required for chromosome replication.  (+info)

Feedback control of a master bacterial cell-cycle regulator. (6/444)

The transcriptional regulator CtrA controls several key cell-cycle events in Caulobacter crescentus, including the initiation of DNA replication, DNA methylation, cell division, and flagellar biogenesis. CtrA is a member of the response regulator family of two component signal transduction systems. Caulobacter goes to great lengths to control the time and place of the activity of this critical regulatory factor during the cell cycle. These controls include temporally regulated transcription and phosphorylation and spatially restricted proteolysis. We report here that ctrA expression is under the control of two promoters: a promoter (P1) that is active only in the early predivisional cell and a stronger promoter (P2) that is active in the late predivisional cell. Both promoters exhibit CtrA-mediated feedback regulation: the early P1 promoter is negatively controlled by CtrA, and the late P2 promoter is under positive feedback control. The CtrA protein footprints conserved binding sites within the P1 and P2 promoters. We propose that the P1 promoter is activated after the initiation of DNA replication in the early predivisional cell. The ensuing accumulation of CtrA results in the activation of the P2 promoter and the repression of the P1 promoter late in the cell cycle. Thus, two transcriptional feedback loops coupled to cell cycle-regulated proteolysis and phosphorylation of the CtrA protein result in the pattern of CtrA activity required for the temporal and spatial control of multiple cell-cycle events.  (+info)

Regulation of podJ expression during the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. (7/444)

The polar organelle development gene, podJ, is expressed during the swarmer-to-stalked cell transition of the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. Mutants with insertions that inactivate the podJ gene are nonchemotactic, deficient in rosette formation, and resistant to polar bacteriophage, but they divide normally. In contrast, hyperexpression of podJ results in a lethal cell division defect. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the podJ promoter region revealed a binding site for the global response regulator, CtrA. Deletion of this site results in increased overall promoter activity, suggesting that CtrA is a negative regulator of the podJ promoter. Furthermore, synchronization studies have indicated that temporal regulation is not dependent on the presence of the CtrA binding site. Thus, although the level of podJ promoter activity is dependent on the CtrA binding site, the temporal control of podJ promoter expression is dependent on other factors.  (+info)

Bacterial cells: The migrating kinase and the master regulator. (8/444)

It is becoming clear that, as in eukaryotes, proteins in bacterial cells are targeted to specific cellular locations. The most recently discovered example is a remarkable histidine kinase that oscillates between polar and global distributions while temporally regulating transcription and DNA replication in Caulobacter.  (+info)

Dynamics and control of biofilms of the oligotrophic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. | Alfred M. Spormann LaboratoryDynamics and control of biofilms of the oligotrophic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. | Alfred M. Spormann Laboratory
Caulobacter crescentus is an oligotrophic alpha-proteobacterium with a complex cell cycle involving sessile-stalked and piliated, flagellated swarmer cells. Because the natural lifestyle of C. crescentus intrinsically involves a surface-associated, sessile state, we investigated the dynamics and control of C. crescentus biofilms developing on glass surfaces in a hydrodynamic system. In contrast to biofilms of the well-studied Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Vibrio cholerae, C. crescentus CB15 cells form biphasic biofilms, consisting predominantly of a cell monolayer biofilm and a biofilm containing densely packed, mushroom-shaped structures. Based on comparisons between the C. crescentus strain CB15 wild type and its holdfast (hfsA; DeltaCC0095), pili (DeltapilA-cpaF::Omegaaac3), motility (motA), flagellum (flgH) mutants, and a double mutant lacking holdfast and flagellum (hfsA; flgH), a model for biofilm formation in C. crescentus is proposed. For both biofilm forms, the holdfast ...

N2 - Cloning vectors for studies of Caulobacter crescentus genes should be transferable between Escherichia coli and C. crescentus since a transformation system has not been developed for C. crescentus. We have tested a large number of vectors containing IncP or IncQ replicons and found that many of the vectors containing IncQ replicons, and all but one of the vectors containing IncP replicons, are readily transferred by conjugation into C. crescentus. All of the plasmids tested were maintained in C. crescentus at 1 to 5 copies per cell, but plasmids containing IncP replicons were more stable than plasmids containing IncQ replicons. Further studies with a derivative of the IncQ plasmid R300B showed that when a promoterless kanamycin (Km)-resistance gene (npt2) was inserted into the intercistronic region ...
ASMscience | Regulation of the CaulobASMscience | Regulation of the Caulob
This chapter focuses on the aquatic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, which divides asymmetrically during each cell division cycle, yielding progeny cells that differ both structurally and functionally. The initially motile swarmer cell progeny sheds its flagellum and differentiates into a nonmotile stalked cell. In addition to morphological differences, the stalked- and swarmer cell progeny inherit different competencies for chromosome replication. A central component of any cell cycle is the initiation of chromosome replication coupled with strict controls to prevent repeated rounds of DNA replication without intervening cell divisions. The Caulobacter origin of replication was identified and cloned by taking advantage of the observation that replication is always initiated in the stalked cell. Microbial cells are able to monitor changes in their environment, detect changes in cell density, and communicate with each other and with other organisms through signals. The Caulobacter DnaA protein is a

Flagellin gene deletion combinations exhibited a range of phenotypes from no motility or impaired motility to full motility. Characterization of the mutant collection showed the following: (i) that there is no strict requirement for any one of the six flagellins to assemble a filament; ...
Role of Transcription in the Temporal Control of Development in Caulobacter crescentus | PNASRole of Transcription in the Temporal Control of Development in Caulobacter crescentus | PNAS
The requirement for transcription during development of the stalked bacterium, Caulobacter crescentus, was studied with synchronous cultures of swarmer cells. The developmental pattern in these bacteria was first established by determination of the times at which specific changes in cell structure and function occurred. These changes could be divided into those characteristic of (a) development of the swarmer cell into the stalked cell: loss of motility and synthesis of the stalk, and (b) development of the stalked cell into the asymmetric dividing cell: chromosome replication, synthesis of the flagellum, motility, and division. The effect of rifampin in blocking several of these steps-loss of motility, initiation of chromosome replication, and cell division-indicates that RNA synthesis is required throughout the cell cycle for normal differentiation.. ...

The structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex plays an important role in chromosome organization and segregation in most living organisms. In Caulobacter crescentus, SMC is required to align the left and the right arms of the chromosome that run in parallel down the long axis of the cell. However, the mechanism of SMC-mediated alignment of chromosomal arms remains elusive. Here, using genome-wide methods and microscopy of single cells, we show that Caulobacter SMC is recruited to the centromeric parS site and that SMC-mediated arm alignment depends on the chromosome-partitioning protein ParB. We provide evidence that SMC likely tethers the parS-proximal regions of the chromosomal arms together, promoting arm alignment. Furthermore, we show that highly transcribed genes near parS that are oriented against SMC translocation disrupt arm alignment, suggesting that head-on transcription interferes with SMC translocation. Our results demonstrate a tight interdependence of bacterial chromosome
Complete genome sequence of Caulobacter crescentus | PNASComplete genome sequence of Caulobacter crescentus | PNAS
Genome analysis identified a large number of genes that would enable utilization of dilute carbon sources and provides a comprehensive picture of the strategies used by C. crescentus for survival in nutrient-limiting conditions. Unlike E. coli and Vibrio cholerae, C. crescentus has no OmpF-type outer membrane porins that allow the passive diffusion of hydrophilic substrates across the outer membrane. However, it does possess 65 members of the family of TonB-dependent outer membrane channels that catalyze energy-dependent transport across the outer membrane. This is more than any other organism thus far characterized, with the next highest being 34 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (32), and with no other sequenced proteobacteria possessing more than 10. C. crescentus has substantially fewer cytoplasmic membrane transporters relative to genome size than either E. coli or V. cholerae (33). Given C. crescentus low nutrient habitat, it is surprising that PTS or ATP-binding cassette domain transporters, ...

Cell Cycle Control of a Holdfast Attachment Gene inCaulobacter crescentus | Journal of BacteriologyCell Cycle Control of a Holdfast Attachment Gene inCaulobacter crescentus | Journal of Bacteriology
The holdfast is important for the attachment of C. crescentus cells to surfaces; however, little is known about the regulation of holdfast synthesis and holdfast attachment genes during the cell cycle. Furthermore, the time of holdfast appearance at the pole of the cell is not known. In this paper, we investigate two aspects of holdfast synthesis: the transcription of a holdfast attachment gene, hfaA, and the appearance of the holdfast at the pole of the cell. We demonstrate that hfaA transcription is temporally controlled during the cell cycle, with maximal transcription in the swarmer pole of the predivisional cell. We show that the holdfast is not present in swarmer cells or at the swarmer poles of predivisional cells. Our results suggest that the holdfast appears during the differentiation of swarmer to stalked cells.. The hfaA gene possesses a ς54 promoter sequence at the requisite distance from the transcription start site (16). However, our results indicate that hfaA is not transcribed ...

IQSE Event AnnouncementIQSE Event Announcement
I will discuss our recent work that combined single-molecule imaging, fluorescence-recovery-after-photobleaching and optical tweezers to determine how the flagellar motor senses mechanical signals. I will present data that provides evidence that the chemotactic output of a molecular switch within the motor is influenced by the response to perturbations in viscous loads. The switch changes the direction of motorrotation and the torque generated is anisotropic. Yet, Caulobacter Crescentus cells that carry a single rigid flagellum, unlike E. coli cells that carry many, swim with similar speeds in the forward and backward directions. The resulting paradox that arises due to the time-reversibility of Stokes flow can be resolved with a simple model that incorporates cell-precession during swimming. Our observations indicate that motor mechanics are similar between the two species belonging to different classes of bacteria, and suggest that motor-mechanosensing might also be conserved.

KEGG PATHWAY: Citrate cycle (TCA cycle) - Caulobacter crescentus NA1000KEGG PATHWAY: Citrate cycle (TCA cycle) - Caulobacter crescentus NA1000
The citrate cycle (TCA cycle, Krebs cycle) is an important aerobic pathway for the final steps of the oxidation of carbohydrates and fatty acids. The cycle starts with acetyl-CoA, the activated form of acetate, derived from glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation for carbohydrates and from beta oxidation of fatty acids. The two-carbon acetyl group in acetyl-CoA is transferred to the four-carbon compound of oxaloacetate to form the six-carbon compound of citrate. In a series of reactions two carbons in citrate are oxidized to CO2 and the reaction pathway supplies NADH for use in the oxidative phosphorylation and other metabolic processes. The pathway also supplies important precursor metabolites including 2-oxoglutarate. At the end of the cycle the remaining four-carbon part is transformed back to oxaloacetate. According to the genome sequence data, many organisms seem to lack genes for the full cycle [MD:M00009], but contain genes for specific segments [MD:M00010 M00011 ...
KEGG PATHWAY: Nucleotide excision repair - Caulobacter crescentus CB15KEGG PATHWAY: Nucleotide excision repair - Caulobacter crescentus CB15
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a mechanism to recognize and repair bulky DNA damage caused by compounds, environmental carcinogens, and exposure to UV-light. In humans hereditary defects in the NER pathway are linked to at least three diseases: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). The repair of damaged DNA involves at least 30 polypeptides within two different sub-pathways of NER known as transcription-coupled repair (TCR-NER) and global genome repair (GGR-NER). TCR refers to the expedited repair of lesions located in the actively transcribed strand of genes by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II). In GGR-NER the first step of damage recognition involves XPC-hHR23B complex together with XPE complex (in prokaryotes, uvrAB complex). The following steps of GGR-NER and TCR-NER are similar ...

My research interests include Bacterial Cell Cycle Regulation and Signal Transduction mechanisms.. 1. Bacterial Cell Cycle Regulation- Epigenetic mechanisms regulating various physiological activities in the prokaryotic cells are increasingly being appreciated. Methylation of specific bases of the DNA molecule by methyltransferases is the most common epigenetic modification observed in the bacterial cells. This modification of nucleotides adds another level of regulation at the transcription; furthermore, it has a fundamental role in the cell physiological processes such as DNA replication, DNA mismatch repair, and virulence mechanisms in many pathogens. Among the prokaryotic DNA methyltransferases, Dam expressed among the Gammaproteobacteria is the most intensively studied. In contrast to Dam, another DNA methyltransferase CcrM (Cell Cycle Regulated Methylase) has been described in the Alphaproteobacteria, where it plays an important role in the cell cycle regulation of Caulobacter crescentus ...

ASMscience | Chromosomal Replication,ASMscience | Chromosomal Replication,
The study of chromosomal replication and cell division of bacteria has extended beyond Escherichia coli, and important insights have emerged recently from studies in other species, especially Bacillus subtilis and Caulobacter crescentus. Cell division is coordinated with other cell cycle events such as genomic DNA synthesis that leads to chromosomal replication and partition, increase of cell mass, and cell expansion by cell wall synthesis. This chapter reviews the information about predicted genes related to chromosomal replication, plasmid replication, and cell division in Helicobacter pylori, and a plausible replication machinery of the bacterium is discussed in light of the current understanding of bacterial organization and function of replication and cell division. The DnaA protein is essential for the initiation of chromosomal replication and is highly conserved among different bacteria. Clinical isolates of H. pylori have been reported to carry plasmids ranging in size from 1.5 to 40 kb. Three

TDE0214-mediated regulation of motility.PilZ domain proteins have been studied in several motile bacteria, and they are often implicated in regulation of cell motility (12, 13, 26-28). In these bacteria, mutations in the genes encoding those c-di-GMP effectors have different effects on cell motility. For instance, disruptions of B. burgdorferi plzA and V. cholerae plzB impair the cell motility (27, 28). In contrast, mutations of E. coli ycgR and Caulobacter crescentus dgrA or dgrB have no impact on the wild-type cell motility (12, 13, 70). Instead, mutations in these three genes can relieve the inhibition of motility that is caused by either deletions of PDE proteins or overexpression of DGC proteins, highlighting that these PilZ domain proteins affect cell motility only at conditions where the level of c-di-GMP is elevated (12, 13, 26). In this report, we found that inactivation of TDE0214 impaired the cell motility (Fig. 4; see also Movies S1 and S2 in the supplemental material), which is ...

ChIP-Chip stands for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and chip in the sense of DNA microarray. It is a technique to determine the genome-wide binding sites of a DNA-binding protein. While the basic principle is the same for all species, there are some differences in handling cells. This protocol is developed and tested for E. coli. It should work the same way for other bacteria but that remains to be proven. Published protocols also exist for other bacterial species, including Bacillus subtilis, Caulobacter crescentus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Because E. coli can be grown to high cell densities relative to eukaryotes, it is possible to generate sufficient DNA to label without using a PCR-based method [1]. This method uses strand displacement primer extension with Klenow DNA polymerase and amplifies the DNA ~10-fold, while simultaneously incorporating dye-coupled nucleotide. Related protocols can be found here: ...

C. crescentus undergoes a developmental step during its division cycle from a motile cell unable to replicate its DNA to a nonmotile cell that is competent for chromosome replication. We use synchronized populations of motile G1-phase cells to study the events that occur during development. C. crescentus also divides asymmetrically, producing one motile and one nonmotile cell at each division. Proteins in the predivisional cell are segregated to opposite ends to mediate the differentiation of identity after division. We study the locations and movements of individual proteins using fluorescence microscopy.. Specific problems that we are investigating include the following: regulated degradation of a key transcription factor during the motile-sessile developmental step; the roles, locations, and interactions of enzymes that participate in cell wall biosynthesis; and the regulatory functions of protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues. ...
Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: How Do Bacteria Swim? Brown Physicists ExplainNanotechnology Now - Press Release: How Do Bacteria Swim? Brown Physicists Explain
Caulobacter is a single-celled organism with a filament-like tail called a flagellum. As it swims, its rounded cellular head rotates in one direction, while the tail rotates in the opposite direction. This creates torque, which helps explain the bacteriums nonlinear movement through a fluid. What Tang and his team found, however, is that Caulobacter also is influenced by Brownian motion, which is the zigzagging motion that occurs when immersed particles are buffeted by the actions of the molecules of the surrounding medium. What that means, in effect, is that Caulobacter is being pinballed by the water molecules surrounding it as it swims ...

Bacterial Cytoskeleton May Offer New Drug TargetBacterial Cytoskeleton May Offer New Drug Target
In fact, it was only in the late 1990s that biologists discovered bacteria even had a cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton was first identified in the cells of eukaryotic organisms (those, such as plants and animals, whose cells have specialized organelles and a discrete nucleus). Bacteria are tiny, for one thing, and until the advent of advanced imaging technology, scientists could not get a good look inside. The species Goley studies, Caulobacter crescentus, is a mere 500 nanometers across, or about one one-hundredth the size of an average human cell.. Second, a cell wall encases most bacterial species, and scientists assumed this semi-rigid structure obviated the need for a cytoskeleton.. These assumptions turned out to be wrong. In 1998, structural biologist Jan Löwe, in the United Kingdom, demonstrated that a bacterial protein called FtsZ is an evolutionary counterpart of tubulin, a key protein component of the eukaryote cytoskeleton. The finding implied that the cytoskeleton was not a ...

Mutual regulation causes co-entrainment between a synthetic oscillator and the bacterial cell cycleMutual regulation causes co-entrainment between a synthetic oscillator and the bacterial cell cycle
The correct functioning of cells requires the orchestration of multiple cellular processes, many of which are inherently dynamical. The conditions under which these dynamical processes entrain each other remain unclear. Here we use synthetic biology to address this question in the case of concurrent cellular oscillations. Specifically, we study at the single-cell level the interaction between the cell division cycle and a robust synthetic gene oscillator in Escherichia coli. Our results suggest that cell division is able to partially entrain the synthetic oscillations under normal growth conditions, by driving the periodic replication of the genes involved in the oscillator. Coupling the synthetic oscillations back into the cell cycle via the expression of a key regulator of chromosome replication increases the synchronization between the two periodic processes. A simple computational model allows us to confirm this effect ...

When encountering new environments or changes to their external milieu, bacteria use elaborate mechanisms to respond accordingly. Here we describe how Vibrio parahaemolyticus coordinates two such mechanisms - differentiation and chemotaxis. V. parahaemolyticus differentiates between two distinct cell types: short rod-shaped swimmer cells and highly elongated swarmer cells. We show that the intracellular organization of chemotactic signaling arrays changes according to the differentiation state. In swimmer cells chemotaxis arrays are strictly polarly localized, but in swarmer cells arrays form both at the cell poles and at irregular intervals along the entire cell length. Furthermore, the formation of lateral arrays increases with cell length of swarmer cells. Occurrence of lateral signaling arrays is not simply a consequence of the elongated state of swarmer cells, but is instead differentiation state-specific. Moreover, our data suggest that swarmer cells employ two distinct mechanisms for

Doing Double Duty | ScienceDoing Double Duty | Science
The decoding of genetic information into protein sequence relies upon the interaction of messenger RNA (mRNA), which contains information in the form of a string of three-nucleotide codons, and transfer RNA (tRNA), which contains complementary anticodons at one end and the designated amino acid at the other. In bacteria, a quality control system utilizes a hybrid molecule known as tmRNA that binds to ribosomes lodged on a defective mRNA. The alanine residue of tmRNA accepts the incomplete protein, and the ribosome then switches over to begin translating a portion of the tmRNA that encodes a tag that targets the finished (but defective) protein for proteolytic degradation.. Keiler et al. describe the identification of a circularly permuted, two-piece tmRNA in Caulobacter. This bipartite RNA species is functional, and similar sequences are found in cyanobacteria and Rickettsia and even the mitochondrion of the protist Reclinomonas. Not only does this finding open a new door to studying the ...
Worlds First Computer-Generated Bacterial GenomeWorld's First Computer-Generated Bacterial Genome
From a biological point, the rewritten genome is also interesting. Beat Christen added that- Their method is a litmus test to find out whether we biologists have correctly understood genetics, and it allows us to highlight potential gaps in our knowledge. Obviously, the rewritten genome can contain only information that the researchers have actually understood. Additional information that is situated in the DNA sequence, and has not yet been understood by scientists this information would have been lost in the process of producing the new code.. For study purposes, the scientists generated also and strains of bacteria that contained the naturally occurring Caulobacter genome segments of the new genome. By turning off certain genes in these bacteria, the researchers were able to check the functions of the genes. They tested each of the artificial genes in a multistep process.. In such experiments, the researchers found out that just about 580 of the 680 artificial genes were functional. Christen ...

Genome instability leads to changes in a cells properties. In bacteria it frequently leads to resistance against antibiotics. Collapse and disintegration of the DNA during replication is a major cause of genome instability. We study proteins which act on DNA in order to discover the mechanisms by which DNA is replicated, segregated and repaired. We also study the regulatory mechanisms of the bacterial cell cycle, and are interested in how initiation of replication and segregation is controlled and coordinated with cell growth and cell division in the model organisms Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae. Some of the projects are basic bacterial cell biology projects and some are aimed at developing novel antibacterial drugs and understanding antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. In a wider perspective the aim of the group is to increase knowledge about DNA transactions and use this knowledge to combat disease.. Current research involves:. ...

Transcriptional Regulation of Sinorhizobium Meliloti Cell Cycle-Relate by Corey S. Hazekamp"Transcriptional Regulation of Sinorhizobium Meliloti Cell Cycle-Relate" by Corey S. Hazekamp
Sinorhizobium meliloti is a Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium and nitrogen-fixing symbiont, which undergoes a novel cell cycle modification during its host-microbe interaction. I intend to monitor the transcriptional regulation of cell cycle-related genes during free-loving growth, in addition to monitoring their expression during symbiosis. Using genes known to be regulated by CtrA in C. crescentus or predicted to be regulated by CtrA in S. meliloti, I aim to show how certain cell cycle genes are regulated in S. meliloti. In C. crescentus, CtrA acts as a transcription factor that is active when phosphorylated and inactive when not phosphorylated. In S. meliloti, CbrA is a histidine kinase that ultimately inhibits CtrA phosphorylation. Using a ΔcbrA null mutant, which leads to increased levels of CtrA in S. meliloti, and the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene, I can monitor the expression levels of target genes that are potentially regulated by CbrA and CtrA. Promoter regions, transcription start

Summary The molecular mechanisms that serve to couple DNA replication, chromosome segregation and cell division are largely unknown in bacteria. This led a considerable interest to the study of Escherichia coli FtsK, an essential cell division protein that assembles into DNA-pumps to transfer chromosomal DNA between the two daughter cell compartments during septation. Indeed, our recent work suggests that FtsK might regulate the late stages of septation to ensure DNA is fully cleared from the septum before it is allowed to close. This would be the first example of a cell cycle checkpoint in bacteria. FtsK-mediated DNA transfer is required in 15% of the cells at each generation in E. coli, in which it serves to promote the resolution of topological problems arising from the circularity of the chromosome by Xer recombination. However, the FtsK checkpoint could be a more general feature of the bacterial cell cycle since FtsK is highly conserved among eubacteria, including species that do not ...

Recombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and deliveryRecombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and delivery
Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused to 242 amino acids of the C-terminus of the Caulobacter crescentus) protected the fish against lethal challenge with IHNV. Attenuated strains of Yersinia ruckeri were generated using allelic exchange mutagenesis. These strains were characterized in terms of in vitro growth characteristics and invasiveness. Attenuated E. coli and Y. ruckeri were exploited to deliver plasmid DNA to fish cells in vitro; attenuated Y. ruckeri bacteria were examined in vivo as bivalent vaccine delivery vehicles, either through the expression of a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein or by carrying a plasmid DNA vaccine encoding the complete IHNV glycoprotein. A cell wall deficient strain (11.29Δdap) ...

Abstract:. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are increasingly recognized as important effectors of host-pathogen interactions. Since Guan and Dixon reported in 1990 that phosphatase YopH serves as an essential virulence determinant of Yersinia, the field shifted significantly forward, and dozens of PTPs were identified in various microorganisms and even in viruses. The discovery of extensive tyrosine signaling networks in ...
Frontiers | Role of Protein Phosphorylation in the Regulation of Cell Cycle and DNA-Related Processes in Bacteria | MicrobiologyFrontiers | Role of Protein Phosphorylation in the Regulation of Cell Cycle and DNA-Related Processes in Bacteria | Microbiology
In all living organisms, the phosphorylation of proteins modulates various aspects of their functionalities. In eukaryotes, protein phosphorylation plays a key role in cell signaling, gene expression, and differentiation. Protein phosphorylation is also involved in the global control of DNA replication during the cell cycle, as well as in the mechanisms that cope with stress-induced replication blocks. Similar to eukaryotes, bacteria use Hanks-type kinases and phosphatases for signal transduction, and protein phosphorylation is involved in numerous cellular processes. However, it remains unclear whether protein phosphorylation in bacteria can also regulate the activity of proteins involved in DNA-mediated processes such as DNA replication or repair. Accumulating evidence supported by functional and biochemical studies suggests that phospho-regulatory mechanisms also take place during the bacterial cell cycle. Recent phosphoproteomics and interactomics studies identified numerous phosphoproteins
First Cells Survival Odds Not in Evolutions Favor | The Institute for Creation ResearchFirst Cell's Survival Odds Not in Evolution's Favor | The Institute for Creation Research
How did life begin? For those who reject the testimony of Genesis, the search is restricted to clues in nature.. One such clue is the minimum essentials required for growth and reproduction. If that number is small enough, then life might conceivably have formed by chance.. The 2008 documentary movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed presented 250 proteins as an estimated minimum required for cell function. The odds of that many forming by chance was equated to a man winning at a slot machine 250 consecutive times.. But the real odds are much more staggering. Molecular biologist Doug Axe said, "Were talking about something thats staggeringly improbable: roughly one in a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion."1 Based on new research, Axe may have to quadruple those already impossible odds.. A team of biologists at the Stanford University School of Medicine employed a new method to estimate the minimum genetic information required for the survival of bacteria called Caulobacter ...

Excellent news for the sweet-toothed: Sugar is even more helpful than bread in taming that fiery sensation, according to the study. "Sugar is the better of the two," said Boland. He adds that the reason why red peppers dont tend to be as hot as green ones is because they have more sugar. And heres possibly the best news of all: Boland says "traditional Mexican desserts like flan and sopapillas with honey" bring together all three of the fire-fighting ingredients in one neat little package because theyre "made from breads, sugars and milk." Were not sure what it would be like to alternate bites of flan with dips of that scorching-hot salsa as we eat our dinner, but were definitely willing to give it a shot.. ...

Swarming is the fastest known bacterial mode of surface translocation and enables the rapid colonization of a nutrient-rich environment and host tissues. This complex multicellular behavior requires the integration of chemical and physical signals, which leads to the physiological and morphological differentiation of the bacteria into swarmer cells. Here, we provide a review of recent advances in the study of the regulatory pathways that lead to swarming behavior of different model bacteria. It has now become clear that many of these pathways also affect the formation of biofilms, surface-attached bacterial colonies. Decision-making between rapidly colonizing a surface and biofilm formation is central to bacterial survival among competitors. In the second part of this article, we review recent developments in the understanding of the transition between motile and sessile lifestyles of bacteria.
Pancreatic Cancer NewsPancreatic Cancer News
For centuries, physicians and the public have wondered about the nature of cancer: What is it? How does it arise? Why do most cancers appear in the later years of life? By the turn of the century, many authorities were already convinced that a cancer represented a highly related aberrant group of cells, the errant offspring of a single original cell of the body. This cell presumably had, through uncontrolled growth and division, given rise to many generations of progeny cells which eventually formed a much larger and ever-proliferating lesion.. By the late 1940s, the mutational theory was gathering considerable excitement, even though the techniques to find mutations in the tumors had not yet been developed. One author in 1949 noted, "The recent work on carcinogenesis and mutagenesis is of ... importance since the rational control of a disease should be based upon its true biological nature" (Yale J Biol Med 21:293, 1949). By the early 1950s, there were attempts to estimate the number of ...

Another factor that likely shapes the composition of the plant microbiome is interaction between microbes. In 2016, Eric Kemen of the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and colleagues surveyed the microbes thriving in and on wild Arabidopsis leaves at five natural sites in Germany sampled in different seasons. They then plotted correlations between the abundances of more than 90,000 pairs of microbial genera identified in their survey, revealing six "microbial hubs"-nodes with significantly more connections than other nodes within the network. These hubs were represented by the oomycete genus Albugo, the fungal genera Udeniomyces and Dioszegia, the bacterial genus Caulobacter, and two distinct members of the bacterial order Burkholderiales.5 Given the high degree of connectivity within the communities, it is likely that these microbial hubs play a disproportionate role in the microbiome, akin to that of keystone species in an ecosystem ...

In most bacteria and archaea, filaments of FtsZ protein organize cell division. FtsZ forms a ring structure at the division site and starts the recruitment of 10 to 20 downstream proteins that together form a multiprotein complex termed the divisome. The divisome is thought to facilitate many of the steps required to make two cells out of one. FtsQ and FtsB are part of the divisome, with FtsQ being a central hub, interacting with most... ...

Novel Chromosome Organization Pattern in Actinomycetales-Overlapping Replication Cycles Combined with DiploidyNovel Chromosome Organization Pattern in Actinomycetales-Overlapping Replication Cycles Combined with Diploidy
Bacteria regulate chromosome replication and segregation tightly with cell division to ensure faithful segregation of DNA to daughter generations. The underlying mechanisms have been addressed in several model species. It became apparent that bacteria have evolved quite different strategies to regulate DNA segregation and chromosomal organization. We have investigated here how the actinobacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum organizes chromosome segregation and DNA replication. Unexpectedly, we found that C. glutamicum cells are at least diploid under all of the conditions tested and that these organisms have overlapping C periods during replication, with both origins initiating replication simultaneously. On the basis of experimental data, we propose growth ratedependent cell cycle models for C. glutamicum. IMPORTANCE Bacterial cell cycles are known for few model organisms and can vary significantly between species. Here, we studied the cell cycle of Corynebacterium glutamicum, an emerging cell ...

Bacterial cell division has been studied extensively under laboratory conditions. Despite being a key event in the bacterial cell cycle, cell division has not been explored in vivo in bacterial pathogens interacting with their hosts. We discovered in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium a gene absent in nonpathogenic bacteria and encoding a peptidoglycan synthase with 63% identity to penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3). PBP3 is an essential cell division-specific peptidoglycan synthase that builds the septum required to separate daughter cells. Since S. Typhimurium carries genes that encode a PBP3 paralog-which we named PBP3(SAL)-and PBP3, we hypothesized that there are different cell division events in host and nonhost environments. To test this, we generated S. Typhimurium isogenic mutants lacking PBP3(SAL) or the hitherto considered essential PBP3. While PBP3 alone promotes cell division under all conditions tested, the mutant producing only PBP3(SAL) proliferates under acidic conditions ...

  • C. crescentus is, to our knowledge, the first free-living α-class proteobacterium to be sequenced and will serve as a foundation for exploring the biology of this group of bacteria, which includes the obligate endosymbiont and human pathogen Rickettsia prowazekii , the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens , and the bovine and human pathogen Brucella abortus . (pnas.org)
  • The genetic separability of the spatial and temporal controls of replication in Caulobacter suggests that DnaA comprises an ancient and phylogenetically widespread control module for replication in almost all bacteria while CtrA developed later in c-proteobacteria and was recruited to enforce replicative asymmetry in daughter cells. (mit.edu)
  • Since C. crescentus move in places where there is not much to eat, it is believed that these bacteria also use their superglue to pick up nutrients. (listverse.com)
  • We report the response of C. crescentus to carbon starvation, a common form of nutritional stress encountered by free-living bacteria, that induces stasis. (omicsdi.org)
  • Instead of dividing two form two identical daughter cells as other bacteria do (a process termed binary division), Caulobacter crescentus undergoes what is termed symmetric division. (encyclopedia.com)
  • Caulobacter crescentus can be grown in the laboratory so that all the bacteria in the population undergoes division at the same time. (encyclopedia.com)
  • Like many bacteria, Caulobacter responds to phosphate limitation through a conserved two-component signaling pathway called PhoR-PhoB, but the direct regulon of PhoB in this organism is unknown. (datamed.org)
  • From this perspective, biofilm formation may be viewed as a developmental process that shares some of the features of other bacterial developmental processes such as sporulation of gram-positive bacteria ( 9 ), fruiting body formation in Myxococcus xanthus ( 33 , 40 , 44 ), and stalked-cell formation by Caulobacter crescentus ( 13 , 19 , 24 , 37 , 48 ).
