  2. 1 Introduction / Background Info Purpose / Benefits 2 Project Overview 3 What's to Come… 4 Methodologies 5 Results 7 6 Future Directions Acknowledgements / References

  3. Membrane-bound organelles Prokaryote What IS a "Bacterial Microcompartment" (BMC)? NUCLEUS Eukaryote NO significant compartmentalization…

  4. Compartments in bacteria? Phormidium uncinatum (cyanobacteria) 1956 Drews, G. & Niklowitz, W. Beiträge zur Cytologie der Blaualgen. II. Zentroplasma und granulare Einschlüsse von Phormidium uncinatum. Arch. Mikrobiol. 24, 147-162 (1956).

  5. What BMCs really look like… A B C D E F G H β-carboxysomes Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (cyanobacteria) α-carboxysomes Halothiobacillusneopolitanus (chemoautotrophs)

  6. What BMCs really look like… I J K L ICOSAHEDRON Proteinaceous shell P M N O 1,2-propanediol utilization (pdu) microcompartments Salmonella enterica, serovarTyphimurium LT2 ethanolamine utilization (eut) microcompartments Salmonella enterica, serovarTyphimurium LT2 Functionally related enzymes carboxysomes Synechococcus sp. & H. neopolitanus

  7. Why do we care? • Better understanding of various metabolic types of BMCs • Applications in protein engineering (medical purposes)

  8. Currently Known BMC Types: α-carboxysome β-carboxysome ethanolamine utilization (eut) microcompartment propanediol utilization (pdu) microcompartment

  9. Currently Known BMC Types: • Carboxysomes: • Found in some chemoautotrophs and all cyanobacteria • ~1200 Å in diameter • Contain CO2-fixing enzymes (RuBisCO & carbonic anhydrase) • α-type: • Contain Form1A RuBisCO • β-type: • Contain Form1B RuBisCO

  10. Carboxysome Function HCO3- RuBP H+ CA CO2 H2O RuBisCO 3-PGA

  11. Currently Known BMC Types: • Eut & Pdu BMCs: • Found in some heterotrophic bacteria (Salmonella & E. coli) • Larger, more contorted compartments • Involved in cobalamin-dependent degradation of ethanolamine • Involved in B12-dependent catabolism of 1,2-propanediol

  13. How do I discover a new metabolic type of BMC? Identify metagenomes to search Search for shell proteins Analyze neighboring peptides Group neighbors by function Look at close-by / neighboring peptides (to shell protein) Search for occurrences of BMC domain / shell proteins 1 2 3 4 Identify metagenomes to search Group neighbor proteins by function

  14. Tools to Use • Metagenome Database • BLAST • RPSBLAST

  15. Part 1: Identify Metagenomes • Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) Database • J. Craig Venter Institute • Made from oceanic microbes (collected during the Sorcerer II expedition) • Available March 2007 • WELL ANNOTATED • Human Gut Database

  16. GOS Database Peptides with a match to a BMC shell protein 181 Neighboring peptides 17,386,449 461

  17. 1 Results: Grouping of Neighbors

  18. 2 Results: Grouping of Neighbors

  19. Second Metagenome • Human Gut Database • University of Tokyo • Whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing project • 13 human samples • Available December 2007 • NO ANNOTATIONS

A T C 950 0 C T G A C . . . . . . . . . . A A A 1498 386,608 99 99 Sequences containing AT LEAST ONE BMC region (~17,000 bp each)

  21. How do I find the neighboring peptides? • Approach 1: • Look at 600bp sequences directly before and after matched region • Approach 2: • Find domains from start to end of whole sequences, then look at the neighboring domains

  22. Approach #2: C C A A C G T A C A G T A C A G T A C A A C C G T A C A C A G T A C A C A C A G T T T T G A C A C A C G T G A C A C A T T G A C A C A C G T T G G C A C A C A C A C G T G G T C A C A C G T A C T C T C T A G T A C A G T A C A G T A C A G T A C A G T T T T G A C A C A C G T G A C A C A T T G A C A C A C G T T G G C A C A C A C A C G T G G T C A C A C BMC BMC

  23. Problems with 2nd Approach: • Fragmentation • “Stitching” fragments together to determine full domains is difficult • Fused Domains • “Neighboring” domains may actually be fused to BMC shell proteins = same peptide (no open reading frames annotated)

  24. Next Step: Clustering Propanediol Utilization Carboxy-some ALL reads with a BMC domain ? Ethanol-amine Utilization

  25. (Current) Results • Anaerobic Glucose Metabolism • Pyruvate formate lyase (Pfl1, Pfl2, PflA) • Pyruvate + coenzyme-A → formate + acetyl-CoA • Respiratory/Electron Transport Chain? • RnfC – NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase

  26. Future Steps: Carboxysome GOS Pdu ? Human Gut Neighbor Cluster Algorithm Fresh Water Lake Eut ? Farm Soil Cobalamin transfer Hot Spring ? Coastal Microbia Electron Transport ?
