(Submitter supplied) Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) represent a major mechanism of virulence regulation in several pathogens. To date, only three sRNAs have been described in GAS in any detail. To identify whether sRNAs are common within the GAS genome, we created a custom Affymetrix tiling microarray in which all intergenic regions (>49 bp) of the MGAS2221 genome were tiled at high density. Triplicate cultures of strain MGAS2221 in THY broth were grown to the exponential phase (O.D.600 of 0.5) of growth and RNA was isolated, converted to cDNA, fragmented, labeled, and hybridized to our custom array (one array per RNA sample [ hence three arrays total]). more...

(Submitter supplied) PEL is a small regulatory RNA that is present within the S. pyogenes genome. In some strains of S. pyogenes, the PEL sRNA regulates many of the known virulence factors produced by this pathogen. A genome-wide analysis of PEL-regulated genes had not been performed previously so we analyzed this by comparing the parental M1T1 isolate MGAS2221 with an isogenic PEL mutant. Comparing gene transcript levels between these two strains at the exponential and stationary phases of growth, we identified that PEL has no regulatory function in MGAS2221.

(Submitter supplied) Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human respiratory pathogen and a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), which often act by post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression, have been shown to be crucial for the virulence of S. pneumoniae and other bacterial pathogens. Over 170 putative sRNAs have been identified in S. pneumoniae TIGR4 strain (serotype 4) through transcriptomic studies, and a subset of these sRNAs have been further implicated in regulating pneumococcal pathogenesis. more...

(Submitter supplied) We report here an experimental search for small non-coding RNAs in a low GC, gram-positive, human pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. Based on the bioinformatic analyses by Livny et al. (2006, Nucleic Acids Res. 34:3484-93), we tested 36 candidates by Northern analyses and confirmed the expression of 8 novel and one previously-reported sRNAs (CcnA) in the genome of D39 serotype 2 strain. Some of the sRNAs showed differential expression in stationary phase or after treatment with competence stimulatory peptide compared to untreated exponential cells. One sRNA we detected is CcnA, one of five CiaR-controlled non-coding RNA (CcnA to E) reported previously. By ectopically expressing this sRNA in a ΔciaR strain, we provide evidence that CcnA plays important roles in the regulation of growth and chain length of S. pneumoniae. Microarray analysis comparing global gene expression of CcnA-expressing and CcnA-nonexpressing ΔciaR strains showed significant differences in expression of competence related genes and five putative transcriptional regulators. QPCR and transformation assays further confirmed that CcnA sRNA mediates a strong negative effect on competence development. Our findings suggested many of the CiaRH function may be mediated via Ccn sRNAs and that sRNAs play regulatory roles in S. pneumoniae, an organism that lacks Hfq RNA chaperone.

(Submitter supplied) Investigation of whole genome gene expression to identify overlooked sRNAs and sORFs. Background The completion of numerous genome sequences has introduced an era of whole-genome study. However, many real genes, including small RNAs (sRNAs) and small ORFs (sORFs), are missed in genome annotation. In order to improve genome annotation, we sought to identify novel sRNAs and sORFs in Shigella, the principal etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery or shigellosis. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify small non-conding RNAs which are involved in rice resistance to Xoo. Methods: Rice leaves were inoculated with the Xoo strain PXO61 at the four-leaf to five-leaf stage by the leaf-clipping method. Control rice plants were inoculated with water (mock inoculation). And then, total RNA was extracted to be sequenced using Illumina GAIIx. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow to count the expression level of small ncRNA, we found several differentially expressed small ncRNA which may be participated in the interaction between rice and Xoo. more...

(Submitter supplied) Regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are now considered as major players in many physiological and adaptive responses in pathogenic bacteria. sRNAs have been extensively studied in Gram-negative bacteria, but less information is available in Gram-positive pathogens. There is a spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) opportunistic organisms, grouped as “ESKAPE” pathogens, which comprise enterococci, a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections and outbreaks with emergence of MDR isolates, especially vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF). more...
