The eukaryotic mitotic machinery uses the cytoskeleton to move specific chromosomal regions. PMID 16779127. Recent work has dramatically changed our view of chromosome segregation in bacteria. In order to image proteins in live bacteria using fluorescence microscopy, one typically genetically fuses the protein of interest to a photostable fluorescent tag. 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. The synthesis of both natural fla gene products and the accessed NPTase II was assayed in these strains using antisera to purified components of the flagellum and to purified NPTase II. This results in photonic crystals with well-resolved and narrow optical reflectivity features, whose wavelengths are determined by the etching parameters. While super-resolution imaging has greatly benefited from highly photostable fluorophores, a shortage of photostable fluorescent labels for bacteria has limited its use in these small but relevant organisms. Perturbing either MreB (with A22) or MreC (with depletion) causes GFP-Pbp2 to mislocalize to the division plane, indicating that each is necessary but not sufficient to generate a helical Pbp2 pattern. Double-stranded side branches between 100 and 600 nucleotide pairs in length were visible in electron micrographs of rapidly reassociating deoxyribonucleic acid isolated by hydroxyapatite chromatography. In vitro experiments showed that the lack of in vivo methylation in cheR mutants was due to the absence of methyltransferase activity. Lee, H. D., Lord, S.

The synthesis of the product of flgJ, the 29K flagellin, occurs prior to the synthesis of the other flagellin proteins. August 2, 2019. A., Shapiro, L. A DNA methylation ratchet governs progression through a bacterial cell cycle, Cell cycle regulation in Caulobacter: location, location, location. We conclude that the chromosome structure is supercoiled locally and elongated at large length scales and that substantial cell-to-cell variability in the interloci distances indicates that in vivo crowding prevents the chromosome from reaching an equilibrium arrangement. However, the dynamics of the bacterial actin homolog MreB have yet to be examined in vivo. Neither phosphatidylethanolamine nor its precursor phosphatidylserine was detected. The Shapiro Design Lab is an open resource to the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Michigan. View details for Web of Science ID 000165870600056. Here, we extend the ability to image subcellular features within bacteria cells to three dimensions based on the introduction of a cylindrical lens in the imaging pathway. In Caulobacter crescentus, the origin of DNA replication is located at the cell pole. Therefore phospholipid synthesis is required for stalk elongation in C. crescentus.

Overcoming resistance requires new approaches to antibiotic development, including the exploitation of new targets in the bacterial cell. Low levels of the L-ring protein were detected exclusively in the cell envelope of cells lacking the P-ring, suggesting that, in the absence of P-ring assembly, L-ring monomers are unable to form multimeric rings and are thus subject to proteolysis in the periplasm. GapR interacts with adenine and thymine (AT)-rich chromosomal loci, associates with the promoter regions of cell cycle-regulated genes, and shares hundreds of recognition sites in common with known master regulators of cell cycle-dependent gene expression.

Letts, V., Shaw, P., Shapiro, L., Henry, S. INVITRO TRANSCRIPTION OF THE EARLY REGION OF CAULOBACTER PHAGE PHI-CD1 DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC-ACID BY HOST RNA-POLYMERASE, 3-DIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE FLAGELLAR HOOK FROM CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. For large aggregates, such as the clusters of MCP, CheA, and CheW complexes, perhaps the size of the aggregate alone prevents displacement. On the basis of these interactions, a trans-acting hierarchy of flagellar and chemotaxis gene expression is proposed. In recent years, the subcellular organization of prokaryotic cells has become a focal point of interest in microbiology. Tn5 insertion mutants unable to form colonies when oleic acid was the sole carbon source were isolated. The C. crescentus and Escherichia coli MCPs have highly conserved carboxy-terminal domains, and when an E. coli MCP is expressed in C. crescentus, it is targeted to the swarmer cell progeny. Together, PopZ and SpmX assemble into a cooligomeric network that forms the basis for a polar microdomain that coordinates bacterial cell polarity. View details for Web of Science ID A1979HV87000039. Complementing clones restore both motility and normal cell division. Thus, chromosome compaction likely involves dynamic aggregates of SMC bound to DNA. In progeny stalked cells, however, accumulated CcrM that has not been degraded before the immediate initiation of DNA replication is sequestered to the cell pole.

Post-doc, 1998-1999. Their pioneering X-ray techniques can help researchers understand how battery materials work in real time at the atomic scale. Other mutants bearing Tn5 insertions retained cross-reacting MCP activity and were altered only in their methyltransferase and methylesterase activities. Cell wall morphogenetic protein RodA and penicillin-binding protein PBP1a also change their spatial distribution by accumulating at the division site in response to external osmotic upshifts. Analysis of coliphage T7 in vitro transcripts showed that, like the E. coli enzyme, the C. crescentus RNA polymerase initiated transcription from the three major T7 early promoters and recognized the terminator at the end of the early region. (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. By simply increasing the laser power, single molecules of the fluorescent protein fusion HU2-eYFP can be made to blink on and off to achieve super-resolution imaging with a single excitation source. DipM localized to the division site in an FtsZ-dependent manner via its PG-binding LysM domains. View details for PubMedCentralID PMC3859194. Flagellum biogenesis, like cell division, is a morphogenic event that requires the orderly assembly of component proteins and the overlapping gene organization may affect this "ordering" of assembly. Transcript D appears to initiate at a minor promoter within the terminally redundant region of the genome preceding the A promoter. Both proteins contain multiple PAS domains, a multifunctional class of sensory domains present across the kingdoms of life.

Caulobacter crescentus has a single dnaK gene that is highly homologous to the hsp70 family of heat shock genes. The experience inspired him to apply after he graduated in 2013, and he was accepted. Here, we describe an imaging scheme that correlates cryogenic single-molecule fluorescence localizations with CET reconstructions. Quon, K. C., Marczynski, G. T., Shapiro, L.

Using hyper-saturated transposon mutagenesis coupled with high-throughput sequencing, we determined the essential Caulobacter genome at 8 bp resolution, including 1012 essential genome features: 480 ORFs, 402 regulatory sequences and 130 non-coding elements, including 90 intergenic segments of unknown function. Drug Discovery, Small Molecule Synthesis, University of Illinois The final six amino acids of PopZ are necessary for connecting the hexamers into filaments, and these structures are important for sub-cellular localization. Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University School of Medicine. Tn5 insertions causing a general chemotaxis phenotype, an inability to reverse swimming direction and to form large swarm colonies, have been mapped to an 8-kb region of the C. crescentus genome. 725 Albany St 1st Floor Boston . Judd, E. M., Ryan, K. R., Moerner, W. E., Shapiro, L., McAdams, H. H. A lytic transglycosylase homologue, PleA, is required for the assembly of pili and the flagellum at the Caulobacter crescentus cell pole, Bacterial cell division spirals into control, Polar localization of replicon origins in the multipartite Genomes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Sinorhizobium meliloti, Cell-cycle-regulated expression and subcellular localization of the Caulobacter crescentus SMC chromosome structural protein, tmRNA in Caulobacter crescentus is cell cycle regulated by temporally controlled transcription and RNA degradation, Functions of the CckA histidine kinase in Caulobacter cell cycle control. Following cell division, only the chromosome in the progeny stalked cell is able to initiate DNA replication, while the chromosome in the progeny swarmer cell does not replicate until later in the cell cycle. The CtrA regulatory network, important in control of the Caulobacter cell cycle, illustrates the critical role of nontranscriptional pathways and temporally and spatially localized regulatory proteins. Shapiro currently serves as a biochemistry professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. A localized adaptor protein performs distinct functions at the Caulobacter cell poles. While asymmetric division in Caulobacter normally yields larger stalked and smaller swarmer daughters, we observe a loss of asymmetric size distribution among daughter cells when clpA is depleted from a strain in which FtsZ is constitutively produced. To identify the signals responsible for the cell cycle control of DNA replication initiation, we have characterized a region of the C. crescentus chromosome containing genes that are all involved in DNA replication or recombination, including dnaN, recF, and gyrB. Negative control, as a response to the completion of specific steps in the assembly process, may be an important mechanism used by the cell to turn off flagellar gene expression once the gene product is no longer needed. Caulobacter crescentus divides asymmetrically generating two distinct cell types at each cell division: a stalked cell competent for DNA replication, and a swarmer cell that is unable to initiate DNA replication until it differentiates into a stalked cell later in the cell cycle. CtrA is more stable in the presence of CckA than it is absence, suggesting that CckA may also be involved, directly or indirectly, in the regulation of CtrA proteolysis. Acad Emerg Med. Homologs of GapR, which are ubiquitous among the -proteobacteria and are encoded on multiple bacteriophage genomes, also accumulate in the predivisional cell swarmer compartment when expressed in Caulobacter The Escherichia coli nucleoid-associated protein H-NS, like GapR, selectively associates with AT-rich DNA, yet it does not localize preferentially to the swarmer compartment when expressed exogenously in Caulobacter, suggesting that recognition of AT-rich DNA is not sufficient for the asymmetric accumulation of GapR. Catalytic efficiency is significantly enhanced with a DNAHM substrate. Defects in the cheB gene resulted in greatly reduced chemotaxis-associated methylation in vivo and a loss of methylesterase activity in vitro. The organization has brought controversial speakers to campus in the past Research Highlight: Should I Stay or Should I Go: A Clash of -Cell Identity. Caulobacter crescentus was found to have a DNA methyltransferase, CcrM, that methylates the adenine base of the HinfI recognition sequence, GANTC. They are separated immediately after release from the replisome and move rapidly to their conserved positions in the incipient daughter cell compartments. 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. Deletion of the region 5' to the apparent sigma 54 promoter caused a complete loss of transcription activation. The activities of these enzymes were significantly higher in C. crescentus than the fully induced levels observed in Escherichia coli. View details for DOI 10.1016/S0022-2836(02)01042-2. Cell division, essential for the viability of the organism, is dependent on the irreversible differentiation of a flagellated swarmer cell to a mature stalked cell. We compare the regulatory requirements, DNA structures, and biochemical properties of the prototypic Escherichia coli origin with those of evolutionarily distant Bacillus subtilis and Caulobacter crescentus origins.

Spontaneous mutants have been isolated which are able to grow on galactose in the absence of exogenous cyclic nucleotides. In C. crescentus, additional control mechanisms ensure that the transcription of these genes is initiated at the correct time in the cell cycle. Ph.D. 1972 Purdue University The single gyrB promoter is induced at the same time point in the cell cycle. This organism, which grows in a dilute aquatic environment, coordinates the cell division cycle and multiple cell differentiation events. Select search scope, currently: catalog all catalog, articles, website, & more in one search; catalog books, media & more in the Stanford Libraries' collections; articles+ journal articles & other e-resources Further, GapR does not silence the expression of H-NS target genes when expressed in E. coli, suggesting that GapR and H-NS have distinct functions. We report that CtrA binds five sites within the chromosome replication origin in vitro. Both CtrA and CpdR are phosphorylated via the same CckA histidine kinase phospho-signaling pathway, providing a reinforcing mechanism that simultaneously activates CtrA and prevents its degradation by delocalizing the CpdR/ClpXP complex. Control of sequential cell changes at the level of transcription has long been postulated and has recently been substantiated in the case of Bacillus sporulation (6). PopZ interacts directly with the ParB protein bound to specific DNA sequences near the replication origin. Polarity in bacteria poses many problems, including the necessity for a mechanism for asymmetrically distributing proteins as well as a mechanism by which polar localization is maintained. Under these conditions, the cell enters a quiescent state referred to as dormancy or persistence. A plasmid, whose replication relies only on DNA from the C. crescentus origin of replication, has a distinct temporal pattern of DNA synthesis that resembles that of the bona fide C. crescentus chromosome.

Differential translation of operon-encoded genes facilitates precise cell cycle-timing for the dynamic assembly of multiprotein complexes, such as the flagellum and the stalk and the correct positioning of regulatory proteins to specific cell poles. Their goal is to define these mechanisms using both molecular genetics and biochemistry. 9/2016. Colocalization experiments with the genomic replicons of A. tumefaciens revealed that the repABC replicons, although preferentially positioned at the cell pole, colocalize only rarely. Transcription of dnaKJ occurs during a short period in the cell cycle, concomitant with the onset of DNA replication. Gina Sarah Shapiro is part of Stanford Profiles, official site for faculty, postdocs, students and staff information (Expertise, Bio, Research, Publications, and more).

One of these genes, flbN, is required early in the flagellar assembly process. Analysis of the cloned and sequenced dnaK gene has shown that the deduced amino acid sequence could encode a protein of 67.6 kilodaltons that is 68% identical to the DnaK protein of Escherichia coli and 49% identical to the Drosophila and human hsp70 protein family.

The availability of CcrM is controlled in two ways: (1) the ccrM gene is transcribed only in the predivisional. The most easily recognized asymmetries involve surface structures, e.g., flagella, pili, and stalks that are preferentially assembled at one pole by many bacteria. Thus, the temporal control of this methyltransferase appears to contribute to the accurate cell-cycle control of DNA replication and cellular morphology. To explore the contribution of translational control, RNA-seq and ribosome profiling were used to assay global transcription and translation levels of individual genes at six times over the cell cycle. Each of these transcripts proved to be a de novo transcript since (a) each could be pulse labeled during the initial 20 s of the reaction and (b) each transcript contained a triphosphate at its 5' terminus. The flagellar promoters accessed by Tn5-VB32 exhibited temporal regulation analogous to the known flagellar and chemotaxis gene products. A major goal is to define the role of one of these inhibitors, p16ink4a in the cellular response to DNA damage. View details for Web of Science ID A1989T211600005. PodJ(S), sequestered to the progeny swarmer cell, is subsequently released from the polar membrane by the membrane metalloprotease MmpA for degradation during the swarmer-to-stalked cell transition. 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. We use a variety of innovative approaches including genomics, computation, biochemistry, and advanced imaging. Thanbichler, M., Wang, S. C., Shapiro, L. Conserved modular design of an oxygen sensory/signaling network with species-specific output. Analyses of cell polarity, division, and differentiation in prokaryotes have identified several regulatory proteins that exhibit dramatic changes in expression and spatial localization over the course of a cell cycle. Based on the correlation of the physical and genetic maps derived by Ely and Gerardot [Ely, B. Big Moerner Lab crew spanning two generations at the GRC on Single Molecule Approaches to Biology, Mt. The foregoing studies are intended to define a differentiation process and to permit genetic access to the mechanisms that control this process. Thanbichler, M., Viollier, P. H., Shapiro, L. MreB actin-mediated segregation of a specific region of a bacterial chromosome. Although the temporal control of expression at physiological temperatures is not affected by the presence or absence of the leader sequence, changes in mRNA secondary structure may contribute to the modulation of DnaK and DnaJ levels at normal temperatures and during heat shock. Under conditions which inhibited DNA synthesis but permitted phospholipid synthesis, i.e., growth of a temperature-sensitive DNA elongation mutant at the restrictive temperature or treatment with hydroxy-urea, stalk elongation occurred normally. Our primary focus is on elucidating the events required for the orderly segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, the crucial process by which diploid germ cells generate haploid gametes. The actin homolog MreB contributes to bacterial cell shape. This suggests a role for HrcA in negative regulation of heat shock gene expression. We discovered a binding partner of PopA at the swarmer cell pole that together with PopA regulates the length of the flagella filament. This work summarizes how single-molecule and superresolution imaging can be applied to the study of protein dynamics and superstructures in live Caulobacter crescentus cells to illustrate the power of these methods in bacterial imaging. Here, we report that the conserved replication initiator, DnaA, can mediate chromosome segregation independent of replication initiation. 169:1493-1498, 1987). Caulobacter crescentus wild-type strain CB13 is unable to utilize galactose as the sole carbon source unless derivatives of cyclic AMP are present. View details for Web of Science ID A1976BU75500037. Included are those involved in chemotaxis, outer membrane channel function, degradation of aromatic ring compounds, and the breakdown of plant-derived carbon sources, in addition to many extracytoplasmic function sigma factors, providing the organism with the ability to respond to a wide range of environmental fluctuations. Upon shift to the nonpermissive temperature, the mutant secA swarmer cell is able to release the polar flagellum, degrade chemoreceptors, and initiate DNA replication, but it is unable to form a stalk, complete DNA replication, or carry out cell division. Another regulatory mechanism involved in cell cycle progression is DNA methylation. Proteins involved in chemotaxis methylation reactions have been identified in Caulobacter crescentus and their activities, times of synthesis and cellular positions have been determined. This degradation is surprising, since SsrA RNA is both highly structured and highly abundant. We conclude that MreB and MreC form spatially distinct and independently localized spirals and propose that MreB inhibits division plane localization of Pbp2, whereas MreC promotes lengthwise localization of Pbp2; together these two mechanism ensure a helical localization of Pbp2 and, thereby, the maintenance of proper cell morphology in Caulobacter. Stalked cells, which are actively engaged in DNA replication, have three or four SMC foci per cell. By. Single-molecule super-resolution imaging provides a non-invasive method for nanometer-scale imaging and is ideally suited to investigations of quasi-static structures within live cells.
