Study: Bacteroides expand the functional versatility of a universal transcription factor and transcribed DNA to program capsule diversity
show Abstracthide Abstract
Human gut Bacteroides species encode numerous (eight or more) tightly regulated capsular polysaccharides (CPS). Specialized paralogs of the universal transcription elongation factor NusG, called UpxY (Y), and an anti-Y UpxZ (Z) are encoded by the first two genes of each CPS operon. The Y-Z regulators combine with promoter inversions to limit CPS transcription to a single operon in most cells. Y enhances transcript elongation whereas Z inhibits noncognate Ys. How Y distinguishes among cognate CPS operons and how Z inhibits only noncognate Ys are unknown. Using in-vivo nascent-RNA sequencing and promoter-less in-vitro transcription (PIVoT), we establish that Y recognizes a paused RNA polymerase via sequences in both the exposed non-template DNA and the upstream duplex DNA. Y association is aided by novel 'pause-then-escape' nascent RNA hairpins. Z binds non-cognate Ys to directly inhibit Y association. This Y-Z hierarchical regulatory program allows Bacteroides to create CPS subpopulations for optimal fitness.

Construction protocol: To harvest nascent transcripts for the NET-seq workflow, cultures were filtered between two vacuum filtration systems using a 0.45 µm pore nitrocellulose filter (GVS Micron Sep, 1215305). Cells were scraped off each filter using a spatula and plunged immediately into liquid nitrogen (i.e., cells from the same culture were combined into the same 50 mL conical tube containing ~25 mL liquid nitrogen). Collected cells were cryo-lysed using a RETSCH mixer mill (MM 400) as previously described (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47), with the exception that 50 mL stainless steel canisters and a 25 mm stainless steel ball were used to perform the cryomilling. To isolate nascent transcripts, we performed a modified 3xFLAG-IP protocol with previously described buffers Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47). Specifically, the thawed grindate volume was scaled to 5.5 mL with lysis buffer (1x lysis stock [20 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 0.4% Triton X-100, and 0.1% NP-40 substitute], 100 mM NH4Cl, 1x EDTA-free cOmplete Mini protease inhibitor cocktail [Roche Diagnostics GmbH, 11836170001], 10 mM MnCl2, and 50 U/mL RNasin [Promega, N211B], and 0.4 mg/mL puromycin), DNA was partially digested for 20 min with RQ1 DNase (0.054 U/mL [0.02 U/mL for the E. coli-only NET-seq pilot experiment])[Promega, M6101], and digestion reactions were stopped by addition of EDTA to 28 mM (final concentration). RNAP-nascent transcript complexes were directly immunoprecipitated using Anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel (Sigma, A2220) (i.e., without buffer exchange), and the precipitated RNAP-nascent transcript complexes were subsequently washed four times (1x lysis stock, 100 mM NH4Cl, 300 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, and 50 U/mL RNasin) [Promega, N2515]. RNAP-nascent transcript complexes were eluted twice with 3xFLAG peptide (Sigma, F4799) (1x lysis stock, 100 mM NH4Cl, 2 mg/mL 3xFLAG peptide, 1 mM EDTA, and 50 U/mL RNasin). Nascent transcripts were purified using a miRNeasy kit [Qiagen, 217084] as previously described (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47). However, to reduce phenol and chaotropic salt contamination, nascent transcripts were subjected to an additional overnight isopropanol-GlycoBlue (Invitrogen, AM9516) precipitation at -20 °C. For nascent transcript library generation, we followed a modification of a previous NET-seq workflow (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47 and Churchman, L. S. & Weissman, J. S. 2011. Nature 469: 368-73). Specifically, our workflow included using custom adaptors compatible with an Illumina NovaSeq X instrument. Likewise, the DNA adapter used for nascent transcript 3' end ligation was adenylated using components from a NEB 5' DNA Adenylation kit (E2610; 6µM DNA linker [/5Phos/NNNNNNNNNNgcagctCTGTAGGCACCATCAATGATCGTCGGA/3ddC/], 80 µM ATP, 6 µM Mth RNA ligase, and 1X Adenylation Reaction Buffer). The adenylation reaction was incubated for 4 h incubation at 65 °C, inactivated at 85 °C for 5 min, and precipitated overnight at -20 °C with isopropanol and GlycoBlue (Invitrogen AM9516). The precipitated, adenylated DNA linker was ligated to 750 ng of precipitated nascent transcripts, in duplicate, using components of a NEB T4 RNA Ligase 2, truncated (T4 Rnl2tr) kit (M0242; 10% DMSO, 22% PEG8000, 3 µM adenylated DNA linker, T4 Rnl2tr [14.7 U/µL], RNasin [2U/µL], and 1x T4 RNA Ligase Reaction Buffer). These ligation reactions were incubated at 37 °C for 4 h. After this incubation, T4 Rnl2tr was inactivated by incubation with Proteinase K (0.04 U/µL) (NEB, P8107) at 37 °C for 1 h. RNAs were fragmented, resolved, gel extracted, and precipitated as previously described (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47 and Churchman, L. S. & Weissman, J. S. 2011. Nature 469: 368-73), with the exception that the gel extraction incubation at 70 °C was increased to 25 min. cDNAs were synthesized using a custom adapter (/5Phos/AGATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAAC/iSp18/CACTCA/iSp18/CCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTTCCGACGATCATTGATGGTGCCTACAG) and a previously described protocol (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47 and Churchman, L. S. & Weissman, J. S. 2011. Nature 469: 368-73), with the exception that the reaction time was increased to 1 h. Circularization of gel extracted and precipitated cDNAs was performed using a protocol previously described (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47 and Churchman, L. S. & Weissman, J. S. 2011. Nature 469: 368-73), with the exception that the circularization reaction incubation period was increased to 3 h and the gel extraction incubation period was increased as above. After circularization, cDNA libraries were PCR amplified using minimal cycles and custom adapters (AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACAGCGAGCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTTCCGACGATC and CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGATAAGGATGAGTGACTGGAGTTCAGACGTGTGCTCTTCCGATCT), gel extracted, and precipitated as previously described (Larson, M. H. et al. 2014. Science 344: 1042-47 and Churchman, L. S. & Weissman, J. S. 2011. Nature 469: 368-73). Library concentration and amplified product size distribution were determined using an Agilent TapeStation 4150. NET-seq libraries were sequenced by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Biotechnology Center on an Illumina NovaSeq X Plus instrument.
