Transcriptome analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 in the presence of cobalt
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cobalt (Co(2 +)) is an important transition metal ion that plays a vital role in cellular physiology of bacteria. The role of Co(2 +) in the regulation of several genes/operons in Streptococcus pneumoniae has recently been reported [1]. The data described in this article relate to the genome-wide transcriptional profiling of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39, either in the presence or absence of 0.5 mM Co(2 +) in chemically defined medium (CDM) using DNA microarray analysis. Genes belonging to a broad range of cellular processes such as virulence, transport and efflux systems, stress response and surface attachment were differentially expressed in the presence of Co(2 +). We used transcriptional lacZ assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) to confirm our results [1]. The dataset is publicly available at the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) with accession number GSE57696.

N-acetylglucosamine-Mediated Expression of nagA and nagB in Streptococcus pneumoniae
In this study, we have explored the transcriptomic response of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 to N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Transcriptome comparison of S. pneumoniae D39 wild-type grown in chemically defined medium (CDM) in the presence of 0.5% NAG to that grown in the presence of 0.5% glucose revealed elevated expression of many genes/operons, including nagA, nagB, manLMN, and nanP. We have furt...
متن کاملN-acetylgalatosamine-Mediated Regulation of the aga Operon by AgaR in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Here, we analyze the transcriptomic response of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 to N-acetylgalactosamine (NAGa). Transcriptome comparison of S. pneumoniae D39 grown in NAGaM17 (0.5% NAGa + M17) to that grown in GM17 (0.5% Glucose + M17) revealed the elevated expression of various carbon metabolic genes/operons, including a PTS operon (denoted here as the aga operon), which is putatively involved i...
متن کاملStrain-specific impact of PsaR of Streptococcus pneumoniae on global gene expression and virulence.
Previous studies have indicated that PsaR of Streptococcus pneumoniae is a manganese-dependent regulator, negatively affecting the expression of at least seven genes. Here, we extended these observations by transcriptome and proteome analysis of psaR mutants in strains D39 and TIGR4. The microarray analysis identified three shared PsaR targets: the psa operon, pcpA and prtA. In addition, we fou...

In this study, we have explored the impact of ascorbic acid on the transcriptome of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39. The expression of several genes and operons, including the ula operon (which has been previously shown to be involved in ascorbic acid utilization), the AdcR regulon (which has been previously shown to be involved in zinc transport and virulence) and a PTS operon (which we denote he...

Manganese (Mn(2+))-, zinc (Zn(2+))- and copper (Cu(2+)) play significant roles in transcriptional gene regulation, physiology, and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae. So far, the effect of the important transition metal ion cobalt (Co(2+)) on gene expression of S. pneumoniae has not yet been explored. Here, we study the impact of Co(2+) stress on the transcriptome of S. pneumoniae strain D39...
