  3. Experimental Scope Phenomics Transcriptomics Metabolomics Verification of hypothesized enzyme-catalyzed reaction and/or evidence from relevant pathway Conditions for target expression (We now do qRT-PCR on each gene of interest) Bochner, B.R. (2003) New technologies to assess genotype-phenotype relationships, Nature Rev. Genetics. 4, 309-314.

  5. Targets from around the EFI • AHS: • E. coli • SsnA, Php, TatD, YahJ, YjjV, HyuA, YcdX, Ade • B. halodurans • LisM-RP • ENO: • E. coli • GudX, RspA, YcjG, YfaW • B. cereus • NSAAR • S. enterica • ManD-RP • A. tumefaciens • 1RVK, 2NQL, GlucDRP, Atu0270, Atu4120, Atu3139, Atu4196… • GST: • E. coli • YfcG, YghU, YqjG, YliJ, YfcF, YncG, YibF, YecN • HAD: • E. coli • YidA, YigB, YbjI, NagD • P. fluorescens • 3M9L • IS: • A. tumefaciens • IspB • C. glutamicum • gi# 19551716 • B. fragilis • gi# 53711383

  6. HAD SF: YidA from E. coli dgoT dgoD dgoA dgoK dgoR yidA YidA kcat = 2 s-1 KM = 250 μM kcat/KM = 8 x 103 M-1s-1 Toxic if concentration builds in the cell! Courtesy of D. Dunaway-Mariano

  7. YidA (HAD): no effect after addition of galactonate glycerol + galactonate succinate + galactonate glucose + galactonate

  8. YidA KO likely mutated during lag YidA(HAD): long lag when cells are resuspended in galactonate

  9. YidA (HAD): LCMS results for KDGP Validated with standard from Hua Huang in the DDM Lab

  10. YidA from E. coli (HAD): Results and Conclusions • Phenomics is difficult with HAD SF members, as many are promiscuous housekeeping phosphatases • An abrupt shift from a relatively poor carbon source to galactonate as sole carbon source causes the YidA KO to display a growth lag • The “abruptness” may be important for quickly building levels of the toxic metabolite, KDGP • Growth of YidA following the lag may be due to mutation • Metabolomics efforts so far do not support the connection between YidA KO lag with elevated KDGP levels

  11. GST SF in E. coli: a role in oxidative stress response?

  12. YfcF and YfcG (GST): NO sensitivity in null mutants

  13. GST SF in E. coli: secreted to the periplasm? Modeling/docking by Backy Chen, Computation Core

  14. GST SF in E. coli: protein localization via gene fusion yghU-phoA yfcG-phoA empty vector yqjG-phoA treA-phoA gapA-phoA Periplasm Cytoplasm yghU-lacZ yfcG-lacZ empty vector yqjG-lacZ treA-lacZ gapA-lacZ

  15. YghU (GST): protein localization via proteomics

  16. YfcF(GST): culture labeling and metabolite extraction

  17. Ions from WT Ions from mutant YfcF (GST): differential labeling provides higher accuracy

  18. YfcF (GST): contaminant peaks remain unlabeled

  19. YfcF (GST): affect of nitric oxide on metabolites

  20. GST SF: results and conclusions • YfcF and YfcG are implicated in reduction of nitric oxide • NO sensitivity phenotype identified • YfcF metabolomics with cutting-edge labeling protocol allows measurement of small changes in metabolites • Cellular localization is an important aspect of enzyme function • YghU and YfcG appear to remain in the cytoplasm

  27. RuBisCO-like protein (ENO): Results and Conclusions • Perfect starting point for Micro./Metabolomics Core • Collaboration with ENO bridging project • Phenotype was known • High profile project (Ashida, et.al. Science, 2003) • Genome context and measured thiol release suggested novel fate of MTA • Key enzymes in known MSP missing from genome • Cell extracts mixed with MTA produced methanethiol • LC-MS-based metabolomics uncovered connection between MTA feeding and isoprenoid biosynthesis • Untargeted metabolite profiling of R. rubrum uncovered: • Predicted MTA degradation products • Unexpected isoprenoid biosynthesis intermediates

  28. Taking advantage of existing samples… Noncovalent Protein: Ligand Interactions Measured by Native ESI-MS (from test cases to EFI samples…) Future work will use the samples stored in the Protein / Structure Core Microbiology/Protein/Structure Core Collaboration

  29. Micro./Metabolomics Core: future directions • Application of Biolog and custom phenotype microarrays to null mutants of targets from additional organisms • Transcriptional analysis coupled to growth condition screens to gain complementary evidence for when target genes are expressed • Further improvements in XCMS software to better detect metabolites of low abundance • Application of differential labeling and multiple chromatographies for each metabolomics experiment to increase accuracy • Continued and increasing collaboration with the BPs and Cores
