A bacterial cell-cycle regulatory network operating in time and space, Identification of long intergenic repeat sequences associated with DNA methylation sites in Caulobacter crescentus and other alpha-proteobacteria, Fluorescence bleaching reveals asymmetric compartment formation prior to cell division in Caulobacter. Dynamic flexibility between the 2 domains rationalizes efficient S-layer crystal nucleation on the curved cellular surface. Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments show that both TolA and Pal interact directly or indirectly with TipN. The synthesis of the product of flgJ, the 29K flagellin, occurs prior to the synthesis of the other flagellin proteins. These studies provide insights into factors affecting the PleC/DivJ localization network and into regulatory links between the localization of the pili assembly protein CpaE and the kinase localization pathway. Constructing a macromolecular structure of this scale generally requires localized enzymatic machinery, but a regulatory framework for S-layer assembly has not been identified. 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. She died on 8 February 1680, in Herford, Germany, where she was abbess of the convent there. Beckman Center for Molecular and Genomic Medicine. For large aggregates, such as the clusters of MCP, CheA, and CheW complexes, perhaps the size of the aggregate alone prevents displacement. Here we explore some of the schemes bacteria use to orchestrate dynamic changes at their poles and how these polar events execute cellular functions. Chromosome segregation in wild-type and smc null mutant cells was examined by monitoring the intracellular localization of the replication origin and terminus by using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Congratulations to Prof. Manning, SAIL Director, for his Honorary Doctorate at UvA! Despite their similar promoter architecture, these genes are transcribed at different times in the cell cycle. 2001. Observing crystallization using a time course of electron cryo-microscopy (Cryo-EM) imaging reveals a crystalline intermediate wherein N-terminal nucleation domains exhibit motional dynamics with respect to rigid lattice-forming crystallization domains.

We generate multilayered porous films in crystalline silicon using a periodic electrochemical etch. During the normal cell cycle of Caulobacter crescentus, flagella are released into the culture fluid as swarmer cells differentiate into stalked cells. DivL uniquely contains a tyrosine at the histidine phosphorylation site, and can achieve these regulatory functions in vivo without kinase activity. A shift of cells from restrictive to permissive temperature results in rapid degradation of CtrA, initiation of DNA replication, and the resumption of cell cycle progression, including the ordered expression of genes involved in chromosome replication and polar organelle biogenesis. Using a cosmid library we isolated a clone that complemented SC1130. To explain the phenotype of both the secA and ffs36 strains, we propose that a cell-cycle checkpoint prevents further progression through the cell-cycle in response to increased intracellular levels of heat shock and misfolded proteins. In this study, we observed the motion of single fluorescent MreB-yellow fluorescent protein fusions in living Caulobacter cells in a background of unlabeled MreB. Using plasmid complementation, we have mapped the extent of the flaY and flaE genes. The presence of SciP in the control network enhances the robustness of the cell cycle to varying growth rates. Because cell division then yielded a swarmer cell with a different phospholipid profile than its sibling stalked cell, the cell division process may trigger a mechanism which alters the pattern of phospholipid synthesis. Principles of modular design are evident in signaling networks that detect and integrate a given signal and, depending on the organism in which the network module is present, transduce this signal to affect different metabolic or developmental pathways. Here, we review the progress that has been made towards understanding the mechanisms by which bacterial cytoskeletal proteins influence cellular organization.

An additional parallel between the ccrM and class II flagellar promoters is that their transcription responds to a cell cycle DNA replication checkpoint. Cell Fate Regulation Governed by a Repurposed Bacterial Histidine Kinase. This point mutation allows normal flagellin synthesis, stalk formation, equatorial cell division, and rate of growth. Wheeler, R. T., Gober, J. W., Shapiro, L. DNA replication - Bringing the mountain to mohammed, Microbial asymmetric cell division: Localization of cell fate determinants, A membrane-associated protein, FliX, is required for an early step in Caulobacter flagellar assembly. Overall, the core circuit topology of the Fix network is conserved between the rhizobia and C. crescentus, a free-living aerobe that cannot fix nitrogen, respire anaerobically, or metabolize hydrogen.

This sequence of proteolytic events contributes to the asymmetric localization of PodJ isoforms to the appropriate cell pole. Analysis of the cloned C. crescentus dnaA gene has shown that the deduced amino acid sequence can encode a 486-amino-acid protein that is 37% identical to the DnaA protein of Escherichia coli. The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus yields two different progeny at each cell division; a chemotactically competent swarmer cell and a sessile stalked cell. 1967 Brooklyn College Ph.D. 1972 Purdue University Postdoc. Thus, within the alpha subdivision, there is a conserved cell cycle dependence and regulatory mechanism controlling ccrM expression. The C. crescentus homologues of several Escherichia coli genes are adjacent to the origin in the physical order hemE, origin, dnaA and dnaK,J. Ph.D. in Biology, Harvard University. WEMPireFest occurs on June 9-10, a spectacular festival celebration of the Moerner Lab work, past and present! One determinant is present in the last 15 amino acid residues of CtrA, particularly the terminal Ala-Ala residues, and another is located within the first 56 residues of the CtrA receiver domain. The L and P rings are connected by a bridge of material at their outer radii. With the other method, the M ring is similar to that of S. typhimurium; that is, it contacts the S ring only at an outer radius and lacks the button. A., Deacon, A. M., Shapiro, L.

Many recent studies have revealed exquisite subcellular localization of proteins, DNA, and other molecules within bacterial cells, giving credence to the concept of prokaryotic anatomy. The expression of the Caulobacter ccrM gene and the activity of its product, the M.Ccr II DNA methyltransferase, are limited to a discrete portion of the cell cycle (G. Zweiger, G. Marczynski, and L. Shapiro, J. Mol. The cell cycle control circuitry is tied closely to chromosome replication and morphogenesis by multiple feedback pathways from the modular functions that implement the cell cycle.

Furthermore, galactose uptake was observed to be regulated independently of the galactose catabolic enzymes. Thus, the MCPs are not specifically localized to the immediate vicinity of the flagellar rotor. Dingwall, A., Zhuang, W. Y., Quon, K., Shapiro, L. The control of timing and spatial organization during Caulobacter cell differentiation. Here, we explore the role of the coexpressed MreC protein in Caulobacter and show that it forms a periplasmic spiral that is out of phase with the cytoplasmic MreB spiral. Our approach integrates novel synthesis, fabrication, characterization, modeling and analytics to understand molecular pathways and interfacial structure, and to bridge fundamentals to energy storage and conversion technologies by establishing new design rules. The mechanisms underlying this regulation include protein phosphorylation and proteolysis. Yoo S, Mittelstein DR, Hurt RC, Lacroix JJ, Shapiro MG*. Furthermore, the four heat-shock proteins synthesized in the predivisional cell were partitioned in a specific manner upon cell division. Phage phiCb5 was studied with respect to the physical and chemical properties of both the phage and its RNA. Here, we show that CckA uses its PAS domains to integrate information from DivL and its own oligomerization state to control the balance of its kinase and phosphatase activities. In response to elevated temperature, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells increase expression of a small family of chaperones. Rate enhancement of protein crystallization by a discrete nucleation domain may enable engineering of kinetically controllable self-assembling 2D macromolecular nanomaterials. A basic question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code. Enzyme from pure populations of stalked cells, as well as populations enriched in swarmer and predivisional cells, appeared identical in subunit structure and template requirements. A cellular differentiation programme that culminates in an asymmetric cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. We demonstrated that the expression of a gene, flaD, that is involved in the formation of the flagellar basal body is under temporal control and is transcribed relatively early in the cell cycle, before the hook and flagellin genes are transcribed. Bacteria have evolved several different mechanisms to target protein complexes, membrane vesicles and DNA to specific positions within the cell. This gene cluster encodes a novel group of pilus assembly proteins. View details for Web of Science ID 000304978400010, View details for PubMedCentralID PMC3370875. The CtrA protein, a member of the response regulator family of the two-component signal transduction system, controls multiple cell cycle processes in Caulobacter and is present in swarmer cells but absent from stalked cells. The essential elements are preferentially positioned near the origin and terminus of the chromosome. Director, High-throughput Screening Facility Five enzymes of the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway, acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthase, crotonase, thiolase, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, were identified. An additional level of control was revealed when it was found that an interruption of DNA replication caused the inhibition of flaS transcription. As a first step in the search for regulators of these events, we report the isolation and characterization of a ctrA gene from S. meliloti. The localization pattern of RcdA is coincident with and dependent upon ClpX localization. GcrA then activates the transcription of the next cell-cycle regulator, CtrA, once the replication fork passes through the ctrA P1 promoter, generating two hemimethylated copies of ctrA. Chen, J.

Cell division in Caulobacter crescentus yields a swarmer and a stalked cell. 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. Graduate Student (joined @ 06/2017) Bioengineering. These developmental decisions require global changes in genomic readout, and bacteria typically employ intricate (yet poorly understood) signaling networks that enable changes in cell function. The promoters for the flgF operon and the flgH gene use sigma 54 to initiate transcription. One of the phosphorylated DNA-binding proteins was identified as the beta' subunit of the host RNA polymerase. The sophistication of the genetic regulatory circuits and the elegant integration of temporally controlled transcription and protein synthesis with spatially dynamic phosphosignaling and proteolysis pathways, and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, form a remarkably robust living system. SsrA RNA is stable in G(1)-phase cells and late S-phase cells but is degraded with a half-life of 4 to 5 min at the onset of S phase. View details for Web of Science ID A1991EV33600014. Thus, MreB, like actin, exhibits treadmilling behavior in vivo, and the long MreB structures that have been visualized in multiple bacterial species seem to represent bundles of short filaments that lack a uniform global polarity.
