Genetic regulatory hierarchy in Caulobacter development. 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. Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) play a pivotal role in this process, so their detailed characterization is crucial for our understanding of DNA organization into bacterial cells. Thanbichler, M., Wang, S. C., Shapiro, L. Conserved modular design of an oxygen sensory/signaling network with species-specific output. Full discovery of its essential genome, including non-coding, regulatory and coding elements, is a prerequisite for understanding the complete regulatory network of a bacterial cell. 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. 1973-1974 Stanford University, Senior Researcher The type 1 incoherent feedforward circuit motif enhances the pulse-like expression of the downstream genes, and the negative feedback to ctrA expression reduces peak CtrA accumulation. Bacteria deploy proteins and protein complexes to particular locations and do so in a dynamic manner in lockstep with the organized deployment of their chromosome. PfliQ is activated earlier than PccrM. Ricci, D. P., Melfi, M. D., Lasker, K., Dill, D. L., McAdams, H. H., Shapiro, L. An intracellular compass spatially coordinates cell cycle modules in Caulobacter crescentus. The penicillin-binding protein PBP2, which is commonly branded as an essential cell elongation-specific transpeptidase, switches its localization from a dispersed, patchy pattern to an accumulation at the FtsZ ring location in response to osmotic upshifts as low as 40 mosmol/kg. Contreras, I., WEISSBORN, A., Amemiya, K., MANSOUR, J., Henry, S., Shapiro, L., Bender, R. INVOLVEMENT OF THE HOST RNA-POLYMERASE IN THE EARLY TRANSCRIPTION PROGRAM OF CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS BACTERIOPHAGE PHI-CDL DNA, DIFFERENTIAL MEMBRANE PHOSPHOLIPID-SYNTHESIS DURING THE CELL-CYCLE OF CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. These mutants and the wild-type strain were used to determine the pathway of galactose catabolism in this organism. Transcript A appeared to be the major transcript since (a) it was the size of the entire 20% of the genome shown in vivo to code for the early phage mRNA, (b) it was one of the first transcripts synthesized at low enzyme-to-DNA molar ratios, and (c) it was synthesized in approximately 3 times the molar equivalent observed for the other transcripts. How this is brought about remains one of the most fundamental questions of developmental biology. In addition, sequences homologous to IS1, IS2, or IS5 were not detected in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Dictyostelium discoideum, or calf thymus DNA. The flaD gene was cloned and characterized by nucleotide sequencing and S1 nuclease protection assays. We have identified a novel, conserved protein, RcdA, that forms a complex with CtrA and ClpX in the cell. Super-resolution Imaging of Live Bacteria Cells Using a Genetically Directed, Highly Photostable Fluoromodule. Postdoc. Current: Clinical Variant Scientist, ARUP Laboratories. View details for Web of Science ID A1976CE95700078. In addition, I am directing both preclinical and clinical studies of several potent pharmacologic cyclin-dependent kinase . Kaplan, J. The centromere-binding protein ParB binds to and destabilizes ParA structures in vitro. 1) Cell populations can be synchronized, and homogeneous populations at each stage in the differentiation cycle can thus be obtained. Our approach achieves single-molecule localizations with an average lateral precision of 9 nm, and a relative registration error between the set of localizations and CET reconstruction of 30 nm. The effect of cyclic GMP derivatives was shown to be the repression of synthesis of specific structural proteins. By pulsing synchronized cultures with (14)C-amino acids it has been demonstrated that the synthesis of flagellin occurs approximately 30 to 40 min before cell division. Immunoassays of colonies lysed in situ either by lambda prophage induction or by biochemical means afford a much higher level of sensitivity than the plaque assay probably adequate to detect the production of a few molecules of protein per cell. The transcript synthesized in vitro was shown to be cleaved by C. crescentus RNase III and to release the transfer RNA genes from the downstream 16 S/23 S intergenic spacer region. Recent work has dramatically changed our view of chromosome segregation in bacteria. The replisome gradually moves to midcell as DNA replication proceeds and disassembles upon completion of DNA replication. Caulobacter crescentus is widely used as a powerful model system for the study of prokaryotic cell biology and development. Strains with mutations in one of these genes, flaS, cannot transcribe flagellar structural genes and divide abnormally. 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. To study the relationship between phospholipid synthesis and organelle biogenesis in the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, auxotrophs have been isolated which require exogenous glycerol or glycerol 3-phosphate for growth when glucose is used as the carbon source. Negative control of bacterial DNA replication by a cell cycle regulatory protein that binds at the chromosome origin. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that these proteins constitute a highly conserved DNA methyltransferase family. The flagellum and chemotaxis receptor are asymmetrically localized to a single pole in the predivisional cell by coordinated proteolysis and transcriptional regulation. We also seek opportunities for applying these rules to improve engineering systems. At three separate chromosomal sites the CcrM recognition sequence is fully methylated in swarmer cells, becomes hemimethylated upon DNA replication in stalked cells, and does not become remethylated until just prior to cell division. Jutras BL, Scott M, Parry B, Biboy J, Gray J, Vollmer W, Jacobs-Wagner C (2016) Lyme disease and relapsing fever Borrelia elongate through zones of peptidoglycan synthesis that mark division sites of daughter cells. 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. The released flagellum is composed of a filament, hook, and rod. Here, we review the progress that has been made towards understanding the mechanisms by which bacterial cytoskeletal proteins influence cellular organization. Ph.D., 2015, University of Utah (Oncological Sciences) NIH Developmental Biology Training Grant graduate trainee. Transcription from the flgF promoter initiates prior to initiation at the internal flgH promoter. Single-particle averaging and image reconstruction methods were applied to the electron micrographs of negatively stained basal bodies from C. crescentus. We develop novel imaging assays to monitor fundamental cellular/molecular events in living subjects. Notably, the SigT ECF sigma factor mediates the carbon starvation-induced degradation of CtrA, while activating a core set of general starvation-stress genes that respond to carbon starvation, osmotic stress, and exposure to heavy metals. Carnegie Mellon . View details for Web of Science ID 000280561600011, View details for PubMedCentralID PMC3205914. Cellular functions in Bacteria, such as chromosome segregation and cytokinesis, result from cascades of molecular events operating largely as self-contained modules. However, newly differentiated stalked cells lack methyltransferase activity and membranes from these cells cannot accept methyl groups. Click "Read More" below to see it. We welcome Emily Maclary, who joined the lab as a postdoctoral fellow. Transcription of a flbN-reporter gene fusion in an Escherichia coli background was dependent on the presence of a NifA transcription factor supplied by a plasmid-borne Rhizobium meliloti gene encoding NifA. 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. Lucy Shapiro - Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Developmental Biology. These two cell types differ in their program of gene expression, their ability to replicate DNA, and the physical properties of their nucleoids. View details for Web of Science ID A1984TP18100004. View details for Web of Science ID A1979HA45300045. Mutational analysis of FliI showed that two highly conserved amino acid residues in a bipartite ATP binding motif are necessary for flagellar assembly. The ClpXP protease is required for CtrA proteolysis but is present throughout the cell-cycle, so the mechanism for activating and deactivating CtrA proteolysis is unknown. 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. Johnson, R. C., Walsh, M. P., Ely, B., Shapiro, L. CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS MUTANT DEFECTIVE IN MEMBRANE PHOSPHOLIPID-SYNTHESIS. We propose that translation of leaderless mRNAs may provide a mechanism by which the ribosome can distinguish between productive and nonproductive templates. Because the Lon protease is present throughout the cell cycle, it is likely that the level of CcrM in the cell is controlled by a dynamic balance between temporally varied transcription and constitutive degradation. Here, we identify an essential histidine kinase, CckA, that is responsible for CtrA activation by phosphorylation. Surprisingly, many signal transduction proteins are dynamically localized to specific subcellular addresses during the cell division cycle and sporulation, and proper localization is essential for their function. This vast structural blueprint of specific positional information is manifested in various ways, directing chromosome compaction, accessibility, attachment to the cell envelope, supercoiling, and general architecture and arrangement of the chromosome relative to the cell body. Here we report that SsrA activity is required for normal timing of the G(1)-to-S transition in Caulobacter crescentus. The examples of polar localization given here are from a variety of bacterial species and concern a disparate array of cellular functions. Given this structural complexity, we are driven to ask how localization is achieved, and to what end. Transcription from the ssrA promoter peaks late in G(1), just before the peak in SsrA RNA abundance. dL5-MG complexes emit 2-fold more photons before photobleaching compared to organic dyes such as Cy5 and Alexa 647 in vitro, and 5-fold more photons compared to eYFP in vivo. By focusing on the biogenesis of the polar flagellum and the proteins of the chemosensory system, several laboratories have now defined an extensive network of genes whose temporal expression is controlled in the predivisional cell. 2003: 377377, journal of bone and joint surgery. Wagenknecht, T., DeRosier, D., Shapiro, L., WEISSBORN, A. PHOSPHOLIPID BIOSYNTHESIS IS REQUIRED FOR STALK ELONGATION IN CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. The developmental fate of daughter cells is decided before completion of cytokinesis, via the early establishment of cell polarity by the distribution of activated signaling proteins, bacterial cytoskeleton, and landmark proteins. We discuss the genetic network and integrated three-dimensional sensor/response systems that regulate the cell cycle and asymmetric cell division in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) are active in many bacterial cell functions, including regulation of the cell's response to environmental challenges. 2001-2006. By developing and employing a previously uncharacterized computational method for quantitating shape variance, we find that a FtsZ depletion can also partially rescue the A22-induced shape deformation. Even though NAPs affect DNA-related processes differently, all of them have to oligomerize and bind DNA for their function. The IHF protein and the ftr-binding protein is primarily restricted to the predivisional cell, the cell type in which these promoters are transcribed. The expression of the Caulobacter crescentus homolog of dnaX, which in Escherichia coli encodes both the gamma and tau subunits of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, is subject to cell cycle control. shapiro@stanford.edu DEGREES 1962 - A.B. Using genetic screens and cellular approaches in zebrafish, we aim to discover new genes with essential functions in glial cells, define new animal models of important disorders in humans, and provide new avenues toward therapies for injury and disease of the nervous system. 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. Deletion of the region 5' to the apparent sigma 54 promoter caused a complete loss of transcription activation. View details for DOI 10.1038/s41564-019-0647-7, View details for Web of Science ID 000546225400006. A cyclical control circuit composed of four master regulators drives the Caulobacter cell cycle. When parS is moved farther from the origin, the cell waits for parS to be replicated before segregation can begin. The apparent transcription start site of the E. coli tsr gene was determined in both E. coli and C. crescentus, and we found that in both backgrounds the promoter used conforms to the consensus sequence for the promoters of the flagellar and chemosensory genes of Bacillus subtilis and E. coli. Lab Phone: 626-395-8955, Division of Chemistry and WEISSBORN, A., Steinman, H. M., Shapiro, L. SYNTHESIS OF SPECIFIC MEMBRANE-PROTEINS IS A FUNCTION OF DNA-REPLICATION AND PHOSPHOLIPID-SYNTHESIS IN CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. Here we report a method for optically encoding micrometre-sized nanostructured particles of porous silicon. Enzyme purified to near homogeneity from the pH-conditional mutant similarly exhibited pH-conditional activity under conditions where wild-type enzyme was unaffected over a pH range of 6.0-8.0.

In the recent years, considerable advances have been made towards understanding the structure and function of the bacterial chromosome. We observed that all plasmids replicated during the C. crescentus cell cycle with comparable kinetics of DNA synthesis, even though we tested plasmids that encode very different known (and putative) replication proteins. In parallel with the FliL protein, FliX copurifies with the membrane fraction, and although its expression is cell cycle controlled, the protein is present throughout the cell cycle. 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Unsupervised assembly poses challenges for therapeutics targeting S-layers. Upon asymmetric cell division, swarmer and stalked progeny cells employ distinct mechanisms to control active CcrM. 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. 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. ChpT adopts a pseudo-HK architecture but does not bind ATP. Analysis of Dra I restriction fragments of DNA taken at various times from synchronized cell cultures labeled with 2'-deoxy[3H]guanosine has allowed us to determine the origin of DNA replication, the rate and direction of fork movement, and the order of gene replication. dL5 imaging relies on the activation of the fluorogen Malachite Green (MG) and can be used to label proteins sparsely, enabling single-protein detection in live bacteria without initial bleaching steps.

Here, we report that CckA, the histidine kinase upstream of CtrA, employs a tandem-PAS domain sensor to integrate two distinct spatiotemporal signals. Welcome, Rebecca! Temporal and spatial regulation have emerged as the central themes, with the abundance, activity and subcellular location of key structural and regulatory proteins changing over the course of the cell cycle. 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. Thanbichler, M., Viollier, P. H., Shapiro, L. MreB actin-mediated segregation of a specific region of a bacterial chromosome. The kinetic properties of an adenine DNA methyltransferase involved in cell cycle regulation of Caulobacter crescentus have been elucidated by using defined unmethylated or hemimethylated DNA (DNAHM) substrates. Stalked cells, which are actively engaged in DNA replication, have three or four SMC foci per cell. Positional cues are equally important in coordinating movement of the chromosome with cell division site selection in Caulobacter. 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. Like flagellar biogenesis, stalk formation is an asymmetric polar morphogenesis that occurs once each cell cycle in response to internal cell cycle signals. Z., Dill, D. L., McAdams, H. H., Shapiro, L. A pseudokinase couples signaling pathways to enable asymmetric cell division in a bacterium. The pilus assembly protein TadZ (called CpaE in Caulobacter crescentus) is ubiquitous in tad loci, but is absent in other type IV pilus biogenesis systems. Christen, B., Fero, M. J., Hillson, N. J., Bowman, G., Hong, S., Shapiro, L., McAdams, H. H. Bacterial Chromosome Organization and Segregation, System-level design of bacterial cell cycle control, Feedback Control of DnaA-Mediated Replication Initiation by Replisome-Associated HdaA Protein in Caulobacter, Superresolution imaging of protein superstructures in live Caulobacter crescentus cells with EYFP. Acad. By examining depletion and overexpression strains, we demonstrate that MreB is required both for the polar localization of the chromosomal origin sequence and the dynamic localization of regulatory proteins to the correct cell pole. The "glycerol-less" death of the gpsA mutant could be prevented if the cells were treated with novobiocin to prevent the initiation of DNA replication. National Lab Oversight 1993-1997 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Senior Advisory Board, 2006-2011 Presidents National Medal of Science Committee, 2008-2010 In response to elevated temperature, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells increase expression of a small family of chaperones. The cell cycle-regulated methylation state of Caulobacter DNA mediates the temporal control of transcriptional activation of several key regulatory proteins. We reconstituted the DivL-CckA complex on liposomes in vitro and found that DivL directly controls the CckA kinase/phosphatase switch, and that stimulation of either CckA catalytic activity depends on the second of its two PAS domains.
