Protein Self-Assembly Drives Surface Layer Biogenesis and Maintenance in C. crescentus. Tn5 insertion mutants unable to form colonies when oleic acid was the sole carbon source were isolated. Caulobacter crescentus has one of the simplest known developmental programs that exhibits both temporal and spatial organization. The first gene in this operon was shown to encode an MCP by immuno-blot analysis of strains carrying beta-galactosidase protein fusions to portions of the operon. All Rights Reserved. We report the design and application of HaloTag-based target-specific azido DCDHFs, a class of photoactivatable push-pull fluorogens which produce bright fluorescent labels suitable for single-molecule superresolution imaging in live bacterial and fixed mammalian cells. We show that Caulobacter crescentus makes use of and requires a dedicated mechanism to initiate chromosome segregation. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto and have previously worked as a predoctoral research fellow at the Gentzkow-Shapiro Lab at Stanford University.

Cumulatively, this study uncovered novel new layers of transcriptional regulation mediating the bacterial cell cycle. Chromosome replication in Caulobacter crescentus is tightly regulated to ensure that initiation occurs at the right time and only once during the cell cycle. Our research focuses on the development and function of glial cells in the vertebrate nervous system. At least 58 genes, including many flagellar and chemotaxis genes, are regulated by a type 1 incoherent feedforward motif in which CtrA activates sciP, followed by SciP repression of ctrA and CtrA target genes. Transcriptional start sites are identified by analyzing probe signal cross-correlation matrices created from probe pairs tiled every 5 bp upstream of the genes. The polarly localized DivK response regulator promotes CtrA localization and proteolysis, but it does not directly recruit CtrA to the cell pole. We report the identification of another C. crescentus heat shock operon containing two genes, hrcA (hrc for heat shock regulation at CIRCE elements) and a grpE homolog. We propose that Caulobacter has co-opted a nucleoid-associated protein with high AT recognition to serve as a mediator of cell cycle progression. View details for Web of Science ID 000668756400004. Recent work has shown that many proteins, and even regions of the chromosome, are localized to specific subcellular regions that can change over time, sometimes extraordinarily fast.

Recruitment of a cytoplasmic response regulator to the cell pole is linked to its cell cycle-regulated proteolysis, Codon usage between genomes is constrained by genome-wide mutational processes. Reisenauer, A., Kahng, L. S., McCollum, S., Shapiro, L. Changing views on the nature of the bacterial cell: from biochemistry to cytology, Feedback control of a master bacterial cell-cycle regulator. In the absence of glycerol 3-phosphate, DNA replication was initiated in the stalked cell at the correct time in the cell cycle and at the correct site on the chromosome. As the origin/ParB complex is being replicated and moved across the cell, PopZ accumulates at the cell pole and tethers the origin in place upon arrival. The transcription of a group of flagellar genes is temporally and spatially regulated during the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. We report herein a class of boron-containing compounds termed borinic esters that have broad spectrum antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the low microgram/mL range. An inducible promoter is a useful tool for the controlled expression of a given gene. We use chromosomal inversions and in vivo time-lapse imaging to show that parS is the Caulobacter site of force exertion, independent of its position in the chromosome. Their new paper establishes gas vesicles as genetically encoded seeds for inertial cavitation, bringing together cellular and physical therapy. These findings provide a biochemical and physiological basis for RsaA's calcium-binding behavior, which extends far beyond calcium's commonly accepted role in aiding S-layer biogenesis or oligomerization and demonstrates a connection to cellular fitness. Nature Methods18, 945-952 (2021). By combining these data with previous global analysis of cell cycle transcription patterns and gene expression profiles of mutant ctrA strains, we have determined that CtrA directly regulates at least 95 genes. View details for Web of Science ID A1985ALK8400022. The parS sites, a pair of short contiguous sequence elements known to be involved in chromosome segregation, are positioned at one pole, where they anchor the chromosome to the cell and contribute to the formation of a compact chromatin conformation. Cells use highly regulated transcriptional networks to control temporally regulated events. Using structural biology and biochemical findings we proposed a mechanistic basis for TCS pathway coupling in which the DivL pseudokinase is repurposed as a sensor rather than participant in phosphotransduction. Current areas of research in developmental biology. 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. View details for Web of Science ID A1992JM38600007. Our analysis revealed differences in divisome assembly among Caulobacter and other bacteria that establish a framework for identifying aspects of bacterial cytokinesis that are widely conserved from those that are more variable. Temporally controlled synthesis of the CcrM DNA methyltransferase and Lon-mediated proteolysis restrict CcrM to a specific time in the cell cycle, thereby allowing the maintenance of the hemimethylated state of the chromosome during the progression of DNA replication. The Caulobacter crescentus flagellum is assembled during a defined time period in the cell cycle. Unlike Escherichia coli, the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP in C. crescentus did not vary under several growth conditions, including catabolite repression. The maintenance of cell shape in Caulobacter crescentus requires the essential gene mreB, which encodes a member of the actin superfamily and the target of the antibiotic, A22. Full expression of fliX was found to be dependent on ctrA, and DNase I footprinting analysis demonstrated a direct interaction between CtrA and the fliX promoter. Accordingly, we identified, cloned, and sequenced a chromosomal locus, xylX, from Caulobacter crescentus which is required for growth on xylose as the sole carbon source and showed that transcription from a single site is dependent on the presence of xylose in the growth medium. SsrA RNA abundance increases in late G(1) phase, peaks during the G(1)-S transition, and declines in early S phase, in keeping with the reported role for SsrA in the timing of DNA replication initiation. Temporal control of DNA methylation has been shown to be critical for normal development in the dimorphic Caulobacter life cycle. As a result of the altered genetic structure, these tmRNAs are composed of two distinct RNA molecules. This effect could be reversed by exogenous N6,O2'-dibutyryl 3':5'-cyclic AMP, and mutants resistant to repression by cyclic GMP derivatives exhibited a pleiotropic phenotype affecting a cyclic AMP-mediated event. Overexpression of CcrM is associated with significant abnormalities of cell morphology and DNA ploidy. article, Thank you to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute for welcoming our group and supporting our vision of biomolecular ultrasound as an emerging technology for basic biology and medicine. Using a cosmid library we isolated a clone that complemented SC1130. We take advantage of the best feature of both model and non-model organisms, including laboratory mice, wild stickleback fish, and pluripotent stem cells from humans and non-human primates. SpoT is a bifunctional synthase/hydrolase that controls the steady-state level of the stress-signaling nucleotide (p)ppGpp, and carbon starvation caused a SpoT-dependent increase in (p)ppGpp concentration. Dr. Shapiro's laboratory question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007. Here we provide a detailed protocol for the rapid synchronization of Caulobacter NA1000 cells. The chromosomal origin and terminus of replication are precisely localized in bacterial cells. CcrM homologs are widespread in the alpha subdivision of gram-negative bacteria. (217) 333-1788 djshapir@illinois.edu Illinois Experts Profile Bacteria face complex decisions when initiating developmental events such as sporulation, nodulation, virulence, and asymmetric cell division. Invitro, the Caulobacter S-layer protein, RsaA, enters the aggregate state at physiological temperatures and low divalent calcium ion concentrations. (1-3) In the alpha-proteobacterium, Caulobacter crescentus, the CtrA global transcriptional regulator exhibits a spatially and temporally dynamic expression pattern across the cell cycle. Chromatographic mobilities suggested that these fatty acids may be a cyclopropane and a branched-chain fatty acid. The genome of Caulobacter crescentus encodes at least 31 sRNAs, and 27 of these sRNAs are of unknown function. By deciphering the underlying design principles, we hope to generate pure populations of these cell-types from embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine.

My career goal is to improve outcomes and experiences of patients and caregivers living with and beyond cancer, and my research and scholarship have contributed to understanding and meeting the needs of the growing population of cancer survivors. Free mediation services for all of DC. 194:91-103, 1987). Particular progress has been made in understanding the structure, replication, and segregation of the bacterial chromosome. The transduction of the chemotaxis signal is initiated by a chemoreceptor-CheW-CheA ternary complex at the inner membrane. We present evidence that DivK, an essential single-domain response regulator, contributes to the control of the G(1)-S transition by signaling the temporally controlled proteolysis of CtrA. The global regulatory architecture of transcription during the Caulobacter cell cycle. Upon glycerol deprivation, net phospholipid synthesis ceased immediately in a glycerol 3-phosphate auxotroph which was shown to have levels of biosynthetic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C. Because CckA approximately P promotes the activation of CtrA, we addressed the question of what controls the temporal activation of CckA. Phase separation in many eukaryotic condensates has been shown to be responsive to intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, although the consequences of these mechanisms for enzymes sequestered within the condensates are unknown. Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding how regulatory information encoded by the genome is integrated with the transcriptional machinery and chromatin context to allow for emergence of form and function during human embryogenesis and evolution, and how perturbations in this process lead to disease. Bacterial cells are inherently asymmetric, some more obviously so than others. DnaA initiates DNA replication and activates the transcription of the next cell-cycle regulator, GcrA. In these cells, as appears to be the case with C. crescentus, the individual enzymes form multimers of identical subunits. This DNA contains sequence motifs that are common to other bacterial origins, such as five DnaA boxes, an E. coli-like 13-mer, and an exceptional A + T-rich region. The examples of polar localization given here are from a variety of bacterial species and concern a disparate array of cellular functions. CtrA binds to and silences the origin of replication in swarmer cells. Dr. Shapiro's laboratory question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. The crystal structure of TadZ from Eubacterium rectale (ErTadZ), in complex with ATP and Mg(2+) , was determined to 2.1 resolution. We demonstrate here that two flagellar genes, flaE and flaY, whose products function in trans to modulate the level of transcription of other flagellar genes, are themselves temporally controlled. USA 83:9517-9521, 1986) and in a simple bacterium, the transcription of a hsp70 gene is temporally controlled as a function of the cell cycle under normal growth conditions. Stanford Report, February 1, 2013 President Obama presents the National Medal of Science to Stanford's Lucy Shapiro and Sidney Drell Bulman, George, and Robert Fairlie. Although Drs. Johnson, R. C., Walsh, M. P., Ely, B., Shapiro, L. CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS MUTANT DEFECTIVE IN MEMBRANE PHOSPHOLIPID-SYNTHESIS. Assays of the differential placement of the promoter-less drug resistance proteins (encoded within the interrupted fla genes) allow us to determine whether the positioning of the fla gene products is controlled by signal sequences in their proteins, by specific mRNA-targeting sequences in the 5'-regulatory regions of these genes, or by specific transcription from only one of the two newly replicated chromosomes in the predivisional cell. Our research focuses on the development and function of glial cells in the vertebrate nervous system. djshapir@illinois.edu Z., Dill, D. L., McAdams, H. H., Shapiro, L. A pseudokinase couples signaling pathways to enable asymmetric cell division in a bacterium. View details for Web of Science ID A1992KB97700015. The Caulobacter Tol-Pal complex is thus a key component of cell envelope structure and function, mediating OM constriction at the final step of cell division as well as the positioning of a protein localization factor.

Quantitative Registration and Distribution Analysis of Multicolor 3D Super-Resolution Images of Proteins Reveals Nanoscale Spatial Organization. Blair, J. We found that MmpA facilitates the degradation of PodJS. We apply these tools to problems in synthetic biology, neuroscience, cancer, immunology and the mammalian microbiome. Thus, a step in the pathway that establishes the characteristic asymmetry of the C. crescentus cell appears to be disrupted in flbT mutants. The Caulobacter crescentus flagellum is formed at a specific time in the cell cycle and its assembly requires the ordered expression of a large number of genes. Based on different narrow and broad-host range replicons, they offer a wide choice of promoters, resistance genes, and fusion partners for the construction of fluorescently or affinity-tagged proteins.

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. University of Illinois Postdoc. A single start site of transcription was identified during heat shock at 42 degrees C, and the predicted promoter sequence conformed to the consensus heat shock promoters of E. coli. Although the newly replicated origin regions of the chromosome are rapidly moved to opposite cell poles by an active process, the replisome appears to be an untethered replication factory that is passively displaced towards the center of the cell by the newly replicated DNA.

Mutational analysis of FliI showed that two highly conserved amino acid residues in a bipartite ATP binding motif are necessary for flagellar assembly. Professor of Biochemistry & Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine Delighted to host the first International Symposium on Biomolecular Ultrasound and Sonogenetics. Many important biological processes occur deep inside living organisms. Molecular genetics of simple developmental systems. A novel promoter motif for Caulobacter cell cycle-controlled DNA replication genes, The control of temporal and spatial organization during the Caulobacter cell cycle, Bacterial pathogenesis: Delivering the payload, Caulobacter Lon protease has a critical role in cell-cycle control of DNA methylation. Because typical organic fluorophores can emit significantly more photons than average fluorescent proteins, organic fluorophores have a potential advantage in super-resolution imaging schemes, but targeting to specific cellular proteins must be provided. Several genes involved in chromosome segregation have been identified, and the analysis of their functions and intracellular localization are beginning to shed light on the mechanisms that ensure efficient chromosome segregation. The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus uses a ParA-based partitioning system to segregate newly replicated chromosomal centromeres to opposite cell poles. Nathan, P., Gomes, S. L., Hahnenberger, K., Newton, A., Shapiro, L. FATTY-ACID DEGRADATION IN CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS, TRANSCRIPTION INITIATION INVITRO AND INVIVO AT A HIGHLY CONSERVED PROMOTER WITHIN A 16 S-RIBOSOMAL RNA GENE. Growth in glucose or glucose plus oleic acid decreased fatty acid uptake and lowered the specific activity of the enzymes involved in beta-oxidation by 2- to 3-fold, in contrast to the 50-fold glucose repression found in E. coli. It would appear, therefore, that although there is an effect of cyclic AMP on the induction of beta-galactosidase and differentiation in C. crescentus, regulation of these processes occurs without consistent changes in the cellular level of this nucleotide. One of the conserved structural motifs, the inverted repeat CIRCE element, is found in the 5' region of many heat shock operons, including the Caulobacter crescentus groESL operon. Collaboration: Estrogen Receptor, University of Illinois Mutations in these three genes resulted in the inability of the flagellum to reverse the direction of rotation. Asymmetric cell division in Caulobacter crescentus yields daughter cells that have different cell fates. This oligotrophic bacterium divides asymmetrically to produce a motile swarmer cell that represses DNA replication and a sessile stalked cell that replicates its DNA. In cells depleted of DnaA, the G1/S transition is temporally separated from the swarmer-to-stalked cell differentiation, which is normally coincident. The first generation of acoustic reporter genes proved a concept but were insensitive, burdensome and impossible to image continuously. The lower rings were all approximately 21 nm in diameter, although they varied significantly in width. View details for Web of Science ID A1990DY49600006.

Chromosomal deletions that extend beyond the cloned region were not complemented by this plasmid. The cell cycle-regulatory pathways that produce specific temporal TE patterns are separate from-but highly coordinated with-the transcriptional cell cycle circuitry, suggesting that the scheduling of translational regulation is organized by the same cyclical regulatory circuit that directs the transcriptional control of the Caulobacter cell cycle. During development of the symbiotic soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids, DNA replication and cell division cease and the cells undergo profound metabolic and morphological changes.

As swarmer cells differentiate into stalked cells (G1/S transition), unphosphorylated CpdR accumulates and is localized to the stalked cell pole, where it enables ClpXP localization and CtrA proteolysis, allowing the initiation of DNA replication. Of the 26 genes required for flagellum production, at least 4 of them-flaY, E, F, and G-map together in a single cluster. (1988) Gene 68, 323-333], the origin was localized to a 305-kilobase fragment containing the rrnA gene. Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. One of these mutants was analyzed and shown to map in the Z region of the lactose operon. These results strongly suggest that CtrA polar localization is coupled to its cell cycle-regulated proteolysis. We found most start codons lacked corresponding Shine-Dalgarno sites although ribosomes were observed to pause at internal Shine-Dalgarno sites within the coding DNA sequence (CDS). After replication of the polarly located origin region, one copy moves rapidly to the opposite end of the cell in an MreB-dependent manner. We postulate that IHF mediates the formation of a higher order structure between the divergent promoter regions in a manner analogous to the nucleosome-like structure generated for lambda-Escherichia coli DNA recombination and that this higher order structure modulates transcription. CtrA approximately P then accumulates and activates the transcription of cpdR, completing the regulatory loop, establishing an integrated network that controls a robust cell-cycle transition. The basal body consisted of five rings mounted on a rod. At normal growth temperature (30 degrees C), a different start site was identified 3' to the heat shock start site that conformed to the E. coli sigma 70 promoter consensus sequence. Snow, Vermont! The polar accumulation of PopZ occurs by a diffusion/capture mechanism that requires the MreB cytoskeleton. In an effort to understand the mechanisms that limit chromosomal replication to the stalked cell, plasmid DNA synthesis was analyzed during the developmental cell cycle of C. crescentus, and the partitioning of both the plasmids and the chromosomes to the progeny cells was examined. Both the rpoH gene and sigma32 protein were expressed constitutively throughout the cell cycle at 30 degrees C. The isolation of rpoH provides an important tool for future studies of the role of sigma32 in the normal physiology of C. crescentus. A. Mutant strains produce some stalks that have a flagellum, produce some stalks that have an extra lobe protruding from their sides, have filaments lacking the 29-kilodalton flagellin, and produce several unusual cell types, including filamentous cells as well as predivisional cells with two stalks and predivisional cells with no stalk at all.

Global methylation state at base-pair resolution of the Caulobacter genome throughout the cell cycle. In addition, sequences homologous to IS1, IS2, or IS5 were not detected in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Dictyostelium discoideum, or calf thymus DNA. The organization of each rRNA gene cluster was found to be 5'-16S-tRNA spacer-23S-5S-3'. Dynamic chromosome organization and protein localization coordinate the regulatory circuitry that drives the bacterial cell cycle. These changes in DNA methylation could signal differential binding of regulatory proteins to activate or repress transcription. The A transcript initiated primarily with GTP although a portion was also labeled with ATP. Additionally, as was found for hemE, an upstream untranslated mRNA also extends into the dnaX coding sequence. The dynamic behavior of these proteins is often intrinsically linked to their function as polarity determinants. The group is always looking for creative individuals and we welcome people of all races, ethnicities, religions, gender identities and sexual orientations. Yeh, Y., Comolli, L. R., Downing, K.

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL CONTROL OF FLAGELLAR AND CHEMOTAXIS GENE-EXPRESSION DURING CAULOBACTER CELL-DIFFERENTIATION. A restriction map of the Caulobacter crescentus bacteriophage phi Cd1 genome was constructed by using the restriction endonucleases HindIII and HpaI. The realization that bacterial chromosomes are actively translocated through the cell suggests the existence of specific mechanisms that direct this process. She died on 8 February 1680, in Herford, Germany, where she was abbess of the convent there. The genes involved in these processes are widely separated on the chromosome. We demonstrate that another single domain response regulator, DivK, promotes the polar accumulation of unphosphorylated CpdR and that CpdR is subsequently degraded at the cell pole by the localized ClpXP protease.
