  1. Life without Fur

  2. Life without FUR: evolutionary reconstruction of transcriptional regulation of iron homeostasis in alpha-proteobacteria Mikhail Gelfand Research and Training Center of Bioinformatics, Institute for Information Transmission Problems, RAS Genome Dynamics: From Replication to Post-Translation and Turnover HHMI, 11-14 March 2007

  3. Regulation of iron homeostasis (the Escherichia coli paradigm) Iron: • essential cofactor (limiting in many environments) • dangerous at large concentrations FUR (responds to iron): • synthesis of siderophores • transport (siderophores, heme, Fe2+, Fe3+) • storage • iron-dependent enzymes • synthesis of heme • synthesis of Fe-S clusters Similar in Bacillus subtilis

  5. Comparative genomics of regulatory systems • Standard methods: • BLAST • Construction of phylogenetic trees to identify orthologs • Functional annotation by similarity • Co-localization patterns • Analysis of regulation: • Phylogenetic footprinting (Conserved motifs upstream of orthologs) • Consistency filtering (true sites upstream of orthologs; false positives scattered at random)

  6. Distribution of transcription factors in genomes

  10. Irr boxes Rhizobiaceae plus Bradyrhizobiaceae Rhodobacteriaceae Rhodospirillales

  11. RirA/NsrR family (Rhizobiales)

  12. IscR family

  13. Summary: regulation of genes in functional subsystems Rhizobiales Bradyrhizobiaceae Rhodobacteriales The Zoo (likely ancestral state)

  14. Reconstruction of history Frequent co-regulation with Irr Strict division of function with Irr Appearance of theiron-Rhodo motif

  15. Experimental validation • RirA: sites and binding motifin Rhisobium legumisaurum(site-directed mutagenesis).Andy Johnston lab (University of East Anglia) • Microarray study if the Bradyrhizobium japonicum FUR– mutant: regulatory cascade FUR  irr:Mark O’Brian group (SUNY, Buffalo)

  16. All logos and Some Very Tempting Hypotheses: • Cross-recognition of FUR and IscR motifs in the ancestor. • When FUR had become MUR, and IscR had been lost in Rhizobiales, emerging RirA (from the Rrf2 family, with a rather different general consensus) took over their sites. • Iron-Rhodo boxes are recognized by IscR: directly testable

  17. More stories • Regulation of methionine metabolism in Firmicutes (from S-boxes to T-boxes and transcriptional factors) • T-box regulon in Firmicutes (duplications, bursts, changes of specificity) • Regulation of respiration in gamma-proteobacteria (rewiring of regulatory cascades and shuffling of regulons) • Emerging global regulators in Enterobacteriaceae (how FruR has become CRA, and how duplicated RbsR has become PurR)
