Postdoc. The chemoreceptor is localized at the flagellum-bearing pole of Caulobacter crescentus swarmer cells. This oligotrophic bacterium divides asymmetrically to produce a motile swarmer cell that represses DNA replication and a sessile stalked cell that replicates its DNA. Biol. Large structures, such as a flagellum, are anchored at the pole by means of the basal body that traverses the peptidoglycan wall. The Caulobacter cell cycle control system has been exquisitely optimized as a total system for robust operation in the face of internal stochastic noise and environmental uncertainty. Although interactions between the chromosome and the cytoplasmic membrane are believed to be a functional component of the temporal regulation of DNA replication, the ability of this secA mutant to initiate replication at the nonpermissive temperature suggests that SecA-dependent events are not involved in this process. In a lon null mutant, ccrM transcription is still temporally regulated, but the CcrM protein is present throughout the cell cycle because of a dramatic increase in its stability that results in a fully methylated chromosome throughout the cell cycle. A major goal is to define the role of one of these inhibitors, p16ink4a in the cellular response to DNA damage. One of these, a fatty acid bradytroph, AE6002, was shown to be due to a mutation in the fatA gene. The Shapiro Family Laboratory of Viral Oncology and Aging Research is shared by four PIs (Drs. Research in the Villeneuve lab is aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the faithful inheritance and function of eukaryotic chromosomes. The transcription of a group of flagellar genes is temporally and spatially regulated during the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycle. Caulobacter crescentus wild-type strain CB13 is unable to utilize galactose as the sole carbon source unless derivatives of cyclic AMP are present. Site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that a conserved nucleotide in this sigma 54 promoter consensus sequence was required for transcription. It does so by binding directly to the parS centromere region of the chromosome, and mutations that alter this interaction result in cells that display aberrant centromere translocation and cell division. 1973-1974 Stanford University. Stanford Bio-X is Stanford University's pioneering interdisciplinary biosciences institute, bringing researchers together to cross the boundaries between disciplines, bring interdisciplinary solutions, and create new knowledge of biological systems, in benefit of human health. The genes encoding the structural components of the Caulobacter crescentus flagellum are temporally controlled and their order of expression reflects the sequence of assembly. View details for Web of Science ID A1990DG18600034. We report the results of experiments designed to determine the distribution of these MCPs within swarmer cells and predivisional cells. These two cell types differ in their program of gene expression, their ability to replicate DNA, and the physical properties of their nucleoids. We study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. Kozdon, J. Four transcripts, A, B, C, and D, which ranged in size from 2.9 X 10(6) to 0.53 X 10(6) daltons, were synthesized in vitro by the holoenzyme. Using single molecule sequencing, we provide evidence that most CcrM target motifs (GANTC) switch from a fully methylated to a hemi-methylated state when they are replicated, and back to a fully methylated state at the onset of cell division. SpoT, however, was not required for the carbon starvation block of the swarmer-to-stalked cell polar differentiation program. It would appear, therefore, that although there is an effect of cyclic AMP on the induction of beta-galactosidase and differentiation in C. crescentus, regulation of these processes occurs without consistent changes in the cellular level of this nucleotide. Deletion of this leader sequence resulted in an increased rate of expression in both transcriptional and translational fusions. Entry into the microdomain is selective for cytosolic proteins and requires a binding pathway to PopZ. Samuel Bray. Herrmann, J., Li, P., Jabbarpour, F., Chan, A. C., Rajkovic, I., Matsui, T., Shapiro, L., Smit, J., Weiss, T. M., Murphy, M. E., Wakatsuki, S. Asymmetric division yields progeny cells with distinct modes of regulating cell cycle-dependent chromosome methylation. Author Krista Conger Published on January 28, 2013 August 27, 2018. shapiro@stanford.edu DEGREES 1962 - A.B. The high-resolution strategy used here is applicable to high-throughput, full genome essentiality studies and large-scale genetic perturbation experiments in a broad class of bacterial species. The hybrid cell-cycle simulation implementation is inherently extensible and provides a promising approach for development of whole-cell behavioral models that can replicate the observed functionality of the cell and its responses to changing environmental conditions. We have found that the abundance of SsrA RNA in Caulobacter crescentus is regulated with respect to the cell cycle. In addition, increasing the cellular content of sigma32 by introducing a plasmid-encoded copy of rpoH induced DnaK expression in C. crescentus cultures grown at 30 degrees C. The C. crescentus rpoH gene was transcribed from either of two heat shock consensus promoters. The uranium reporter construct was effective for discriminating contaminated groundwater samples (4.2 microM uranium) from uncontaminated groundwater samples (<0.1 microM uranium) collected at the Oak Ridge Field Research Center. Their goal is to define these mechanisms using both molecular genetics and biochemistry. A., Kleiner, J. n., McQuillan, T. J., Kenney, D. n., Ladd, A. L., Weiss, A. C., Crisco, J. J. This gene cluster encodes a novel group of pilus assembly proteins. Homology between the IS elements and various genomes was determined by hybridizing labeled DNA containing IS1, IS2, and IS5 sequences to Southern blots of chromosomal DNA cleaved with restriction endonucleases.

We have identified a single amino acid substitution in the Caulobacter structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein that disrupts chromosome segregation and cell division. Caulobacter crescentus is a model organism for the integrated circuitry that runs a bacterial cell cycle. Lasker, K., Schrader, J. M., Men, Y., Marshik, T., Dill, D. L., McAdams, H. H., Shapiro, L. A cell cycle kinase with tandem sensory PAS domains integrates cell fate cues. Cell division in Caulobacter crescentus involves constriction and fission of the inner membrane (IM) followed about 20 min later by fission of the outer membrane (OM) and daughter cell separation. The membrane methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins were shown to be synthesized before cell division, coincident with the synthesis of the components of the flagellum, and to be specifically localized in the membrane of the incipient swarmer cell portion of the predivisional cell. CtrA binds to and silences the origin. It was found that the Tsr protein appeared at the same point in the cell cycle as an endogenous C. crescentus methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein. The homologous sequence contains a tandemly repeated tetranucleotide sequence which resembles the repeated sequence at the hot spot for spontaneous mutations in the lacI gene (P. J. Farabaugh, U. Schmeissner, M. Hofer, and J. Miller, J. Mol. These results indicate that the rapidly reassociating fraction derives from inverted repeat sequences within the chromosome and not from cross-links or plasmids.

Since many of these constructs are also suitable for use in other bacteria, this work provides a comprehensive collection of tools that will enrich many areas of microbiological research. Stanford Computational Policy Lab. fliQ and fliR are class II flagellar genes residing near the top of the regulatory hierarchy that determines the order of flagellar gene transcription. Elisabeth Simmern van Pallandt, born on 26 December 1618, was the third of thirteen children and eldest daughter of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I of England and sister of Charles I. Like Dam in the enterobacteria, CcrM plays a regulatory role in Caulobacter crescentus and Rhizobium meliloti. By combining photoinduced activation of single EYFP fusions and time-lapse imaging, we obtained sub-40 nm resolution images of the filamentous superstructure of the bacterial actin protein MreB in live Caulobacter crescentus cells. MreB selectively interacts, directly or indirectly, with origin-proximal regions of the chromosome, arguing that the origin-proximal region segregates via an MreB-dependent mechanism not used by the rest of the chromosome. The cytoplasmic methylesterase was also found to be differentially synthesized coincident with the period of flagellar biogenesis. We demonstrated that the expression of a gene, flaD, that is involved in the formation of the flagellar basal body is under temporal control and is transcribed relatively early in the cell cycle, before the hook and flagellin genes are transcribed. We use a variety of innovative approaches including genomics, computation, biochemistry, and advanced imaging. Here, we review bacterial chromosome dynamics and our understanding of the mechanisms that direct and coordinate them.

In progeny swarmer cells, CcrM is completely degraded by Lon before its differentiation into a replication-competent stalked cell later in the cell cycle. Our data demonstrate the potential for further development of borinic esters as antibacterial agents as well as leads to explore more specific inhibitors against two essential bacterial enzymes. Additionally, we investigated the genetic dependence of localization among divisome proteins and the cell cycle regulation of their transcript and protein levels to gain insight into the control mechanisms underlying their assembly. The switch to the second phospholipid profile was observed to occur at the predivisional cell stage. We identify mutations in PopZ that allow scaffold assembly but specifically abrogate interactions with ParA and demonstrate that PopZ/ParA interactions are required for proper chromosome segregation in vivo. Salzman Lab Statistical inference for molecular discovery Our group develops new statistical methods for biological inference on fundamental questions in the evolution of genomes, including: What is the mechanism and function for single cell regulation of RNA splicing? By expressing an inducible roGFP2-PopZ fusion we can visualize individual microdomains in the context of their redox environment. Cell Metabolism. Cellular functions in Bacteria, such as chromosome segregation and cytokinesis, result from cascades of molecular events operating largely as self-contained modules. All four proteins were synthesized in the predivisional cell, but the progeny showed cell type-specific bias in the level of enhanced synthesis after heat shock. Six distinct cellular characteristics, which are peculiar to these bacteria, have been defined and include (i) the synthesis of a polar organelle which may be membranous (21-23), (ii) a satellite DNA in the stalked cell (26), (iii) pili to which RNA bacteriophage specifically adsorb (16, 33), (iv) a single polar flagellum(17), (v) a lipopolysaccharide phage receptor site (27), and (vi) new cell wall material at the flagellated pole of the cell giving rise to a stalk (19, 20). Health Care . On the other hand, several differences were found between the C. crescentus and E. coli RNA polymerases with respect to their interaction with Caulobacter phage phiCdl DNA. Bacterial chromosome origins of replication. Daniel E. Ho is the William Benjamin Scott and Luna M. Scott Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, Professor of Political Science, Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, Associate Director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, and Director of the Regulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab (RegLab). ddurak2@illinois.edu The deoxyribonucleic acid of the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus contains a component that renatures with rapid, unimolecular kinetics. The HipBA2 module senses different types of stress conditions by increasing the intracellular level of tryptophan, which in turn breaks the tryptophan-glutamine balance and induces glutamine deprivation. The time of methyltransferase expression coincides with the time of methylation of these three chromosomal sites and of plasmid DNA in the predivisional cell. We demonstrate that sequences 3' to the transcription start site do not contribute to temporal control. This site provides a user-friendly interface for quickly searching genes of interest and downloading genome-wide results. It has been shown that DNA replication serves as a checkpoint for flagellar biosynthesis and cell division and that this checkpoint is mediated by the availability of active CtrA. 1200 E. California Blvd, MC210-41 PfliQ is activated earlier than PccrM. Cell cycle regulation of SsrA RNA is accomplished by a combination of temporally controlled transcription and regulated RNA degradation. We confirm that upstream sequences between -81 and -120 base-pairs are necessary for temporal activation, and that transcription also requires sequences at -26 to -46 base-pairs. Ultrasound of Thumb Muscles and Grasp Strength in Early Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis. Caulobacter crescentus integrates phospho-signaling pathways and transcription factor regulatory cascades to drive the cell cycle. In the recent years, considerable advances have been made towards understanding the structure and function of the bacterial chromosome. The process of bacterial DNA replication generates chromosomal topological constraints that are further confounded by simultaneous transcription. 2009-2014.

CtrA is more stable in the presence of CckA than it is absence, suggesting that CckA may also be involved, directly or indirectly, in the regulation of CtrA proteolysis. The polar organizing protein Z (PopZ) localizes to the polar regions of C. crescentus where it is known to form a distinct microdomain. With the passage of the replication fork, the dnaA promoter becomes hemimethylated, and DnaA accumulation drops. Perez, A. M., Mann, T. H., Lasker, K., Ahrens, D. G., Eckart, M. R., Shapiro, L.

CauloBrowser: A systems biology resource for Caulobacter crescentus. In addition, dynamically localized DNA-binding proteins ensure that DNA segregation is coupled to the timing and cellular position of the cytokinetic ring. We are using full genome sequence and microarray technology to identify the genetic circuitry that controls the cell cycle in a bacterial cell with 3767 genes. Analysis of the requirements for CtrA polar localization and CtrA proteolysis revealed that both processes require a motif within amino acids 1-56 of the CtrA receiver domain, and neither process requires CtrA phosphorylation. Cell Fate Regulation Governed by a Repurposed Bacterial Histidine Kinase. These findings provide a biochemical and physiological basis for RsaA's calcium-binding behavior, which extends far beyond calcium's commonly accepted role in aiding S-layer biogenesis or oligomerization and demonstrates a connection to cellular fitness. The subcellular localization of the chemotaxis proteins may reflect a general mechanism by which the bacterial cell sequesters different regions of the cell for specialized functions. A major direction in the lab is to understand how such long-range interactions occur, how they achieve target specificity, and how they may be reprogrammed by alterations to the genome sequence. Replisome assembly occurs at the chromosomal origin located at the stalked cell pole, coincident with the initiation of DNA replication. collections of links for undergrads getting started in economics // work in progress Bio. Join us. These activities are in a multienzyme complex in Escherichia coli, but a similar complex was not observed in C. crescentus. The L and P rings are connected by a bridge of material at their outer radii. The genetic mechanisms that control asymmetric cell divisions--yielding progeny cells that differ from one another--have been conserved among prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes, and higher organisms. (1-3) In the alpha-proteobacterium, Caulobacter crescentus, the CtrA global transcriptional regulator exhibits a spatially and temporally dynamic expression pattern across the cell cycle. The genes involved in these processes are widely separated on the chromosome. We find that the actin-like MreB protein mediates global cell polarity in Caulobacter crescentus, although the intermediate filament-like CreS protein influences cell shape without affecting cell polarity. Dr. Weissmans laboratory is working on identifying and characterizing the progression of discrete changes, genetic and epigenetic, that leads to the generation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) from a variety of blood and solid tissue cancers. An additional parallel between the ccrM and class II flagellar promoters is that their transcription responds to a cell cycle DNA replication checkpoint. The asymmetrically dividing bacterium Caulobacter crescentus uses one such microdomain to link cell cycle progression to morphogenesis, but the mechanism for the generation of this microdomain has remained unclear. The significance of this study is the identification of structural elements involved in the oligomerization and DNA binding of a newly discovered NAP in C. crescentus and the demonstration that structural elements are conserved in evolutionarily distant and functionally distinct NAPs.

A high proportion of morphologically aberrant cells, and cells that have undergone an additional chromosome replication initiation, are found in this population. It was observed that the final step in the swarmer cell-to-stalked cell transition, stalk elongation, was inhibited under these conditions. On the basis of these interactions, a trans-acting hierarchy of flagellar and chemotaxis gene expression is proposed. Key insights into bacterial regulatory programs that orchestrate cell cycle progression have come from studies of Caulobacter crescentus, a bacterium that divides asymmetrically. Individuals are seen on a first-come first-served basis and should bring their lab orders and insurance cards. The global regulatory architecture of transcription during the Caulobacter cell cycle. czhang8@illinois.edu Stanford Center for Professional Development. Natl. Transcript D appears to initiate at a minor promoter within the terminally redundant region of the genome preceding the A promoter. We have attempted to develop the studies initiated by Poindexter,Stove and Stanier, and Schmidt and Stanier (16, 17, 20) with the Caulobacter genus so that these bacteria can serve as a model system for prokaryotic differentiation. 2013;62: 165-179, JOURNAL OF HAND SURGERY-AMERICAN VOLUME -Ladd, A.

ClpXP and ClpAP proteolytic activity on divisome substrates is differentially regulated following the Caulobacter asymmetric cell division. By deciphering the underlying design principles, we hope to generate pure populations of these cell-types from embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine. By combining insights from multiple systems, its possible to identify the detailed molecular basis of many interesting evolutionary differences, including classic traits and diseases that affect millions of people around the world. A newly discovered NAP in Caulobacter crescentus, GapR, is thought to facilitate the movement of the replication and transcription machines along the chromosome by stimulating type II topoisomerases to remove positive supercoiling. The Stanford SHAPE Lab, directed by Prof. Sean Follmer, explores how we can interact with digital information in a more physical and tangible way.

Flagellin, therefore, is synthesized at a discrete time in the cell cycle and is assembled into flagella at a specific site on the cell. The crystal structure of TadZ from Eubacterium rectale (ErTadZ), in complex with ATP and Mg(2+) , was determined to 2.1 resolution. Stanford Digital Economy Lab. We then demonstrate that A22 completely blocks the movement of newly replicated loci near the origin of replication but has no qualitative or quantitative effect on the segregation of other loci if added after origin segregation. Assembly of the Caulobacter cell division machine. Two-component signal transduction proteins are known to play a significant role in cell cycle progression. Kim, S., Gitai, Z., Kinkhabwala, A., Shapiro, L., Moerner, W. E. A phospho-signaling pathway controls the localization and activity of a protease complex critical for bacterial cell cycle progression. One of these sites was located within the 16S gene near its 3' end, and the other two were found at the 5' end of the 23S gene. We show that Caulobacter crescentus makes use of and requires a dedicated mechanism to initiate chromosome segregation. After replication of the polarly located origin region, one copy moves rapidly to the opposite end of the cell in an MreB-dependent manner. For DNA segments less than about 300 kb, the mean interloci distances, , scale as n(0.22), where n is the contour length, and cell-to-cell distribution of the interloci distance r is a universal function of r/n(0.22) with broad cell-to-cell variability.
