Investigation of Microarray Data from Douillard’s H. Pylori Experiment Samantha Hurndon Isaiah Castañeda
Motility is a key feature of H. pylori and is required for colonization and persistence • There are three classes (stages) of regulation • Class I: transcription of the early flagellar genes • Class II: RpoN regulation of the middle flagellar structural genes. (fliKencodes hook-length-control pro) • Class III: FliA and an anti sigma factor (FlgM) • FliK is the gene that controls hook length during flagellar assembly
CCUG17874 & NCTC26695 Strains were used for the microarray dataset • The wild type CCUG17874 DNA was labeled with dCTP Cy3 • Cy3-dCTP is a fluorescent cyan dye • Wild type NCTC26695 DNA was labeled with dCTP Cy5 • Cy5-dCTP is a fluorescent red dye
Eleven microarray chips were hybridized • Cy5 hp0906KO (C1) with Cy3 CCUG17874 (A3) → Hyb:32525 • Cy3 CCUG17874 (A3)-23856 with Cy5 CCUG17874 (C1) → Hyb:32519 • Cy5 hp0906KO (B1) with Cy3 CCUG17874 (A2) → Hyb:32524 • Cy3 CCUG17874 (A1) with Cy5 hp0906KO (A1) → Hyb:32523 • Cy5 CCUG17874 (B1) with Cy3 NCTC26695 (B1) → Hyb:32528 • Cy3 CCUG17874 (A5) with Cy5 hp0958 KO (B1) → Hyb:32521 • Cy3 NCTC26695 (A1) with Cy5 CCUG17874 (A1) → Hyb:32526 • Cy5 hp0958 KO (A1) with Cy3 CCUG17874 (A4) → Hyb:32520 • Cy3 CCUG17874 (A2)-23855 with Cy5 CCUG17874 (B2)-23817 → Hyb:35218 • Cy3 CCUG17874 (A1)-23769 with Cy5 CCUG17874 (A1)-23814 → Hyb:32517 • Cy3 CCUG17874 (A6) with Cy5 hp0958 KO (C1) → Hyb:32522
FliK protein is required to turn off the RpoN regulation during flagellar assembly • Under the control of the RpoN there is an increase in transcription of genes • Gene expression has been significantly changed after mutation on fliK • Flik mutation affected the transcription of almost all class II genes in flagellar regulon
Statistical analysis was performed on the microarray dataset • There were 3 experiments • hp0958KO • hp0906KO • CCUG17874 • Averages, Tsats, and P-values were calculated for every gene of each experiment
HP0906 KO had the highest amount significantly changed genes
GenMAPP was used to find significant increases in gene expression
Using GenMAPP, a list of the most significantly suppressed genes was compiled
Many of the most significant genes deal with transcription • HP1555 – Elongation FactorAssociates with the EF-Tu.GDP complex and induces the exchange of GDP to GTP. It remains bound to the aminoacyl-tRNA.EF-Tu.GTP complex up to the GTP hydrolysis stage on the ribosome • HP1557 - Flagellar hook-basal body protein FliE • HP0912 – Predicted to be an outer membrane protein • HP1203 - Transcription antitermination protein • HP0601- Flagellin A Part of the Flagellar assembly and affects motility • HP1429 – Predicted to be a polysialic acid capsule expression protein • HP0962 - Acyl carrier protein • HP1427 – Predicted to be a histidine and glutamine-rich metal binding protein • HP1210 - Serine acetyltransferase • HP0264 – Predicted to be an ATP-dependent chaperone protein ClpB
Douillard found that Flik mutation affected the transcription of almost all class II genes in flagellar regulon • Shown above are the differential expression ratios of all known • Flagellar genes in the fliK mutant relative to the wild-type
None of the most significantly changed genes were Rpon-dependent genes • Our • Perhaps there was more significant transcriptional activity than • Class II genes
