Book Synopsis Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea by : Gisela Storz
Download or read book Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea written by Gisela Storz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing the many roles of RNA in regulating gene expression For decades after the discoveries of messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA, it was largely assumed that the role of RNA in the cell was limited to shuttling the genomic message, chaperoning amino acids, and toiling in the ribosomes. Eventually, hints that RNA molecules might have regulatory roles began to appear. With the advent of genomics and bioinformatics, it became evident that numerous other RNA forms exist and have specific functions, including small RNAs (sRNA), RNA thermometers, and riboswitches to regulate core metabolic pathways, bacterial pathogenesis, iron homeostasis, quorum sensing, and biofilm formation. All of these functions, and more, are presented in Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea, written by RNA biologists from around the globe. Divided into eight sections-RNases and Helicases, Cis-Acting RNAs, Cis Encoded Base Pairing RNAs, Trans-Encoded Base Pairing RNAs, Protein Titration and Scaffolding, General Considerations, Emerging Topics, and Resources-this book serves as an excellent resource for established RNA biologists and for the many scientists who are studying regulated cellular systems. It is no longer a fair assumption that gene expression regulation is the provenance of proteins only or that control is exerted primarily at the level of transcription. This book makes clear that regulatory RNAs are key partners along with proteins in controlling the complex interactions and pathways found within prokaryotes.

Book Synopsis Stress and Environmental Regulation of Gene Expression and Adaptation in Bacteria by : Frans J. de Bruijn
Download or read book Stress and Environmental Regulation of Gene Expression and Adaptation in Bacteria written by Frans J. de Bruijn and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 1472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bacteria in various habitats are subject to continuously changing environmental conditions, such as nutrient deprivation, heat and cold stress, UV radiation, oxidative stress, dessication, acid stress, nitrosative stress, cell envelope stress, heavy metal exposure, osmotic stress, and others. In order to survive, they have to respond to these conditions by adapting their physiology through sometimes drastic changes in gene expression. In addition they may adapt by changing their morphology, forming biofilms, fruiting bodies or spores, filaments, Viable But Not Culturable (VBNC) cells or moving away from stress compounds via chemotaxis. Changes in gene expression constitute the main component of the bacterial response to stress and environmental changes, and involve a myriad of different mechanisms, including (alternative) sigma factors, bi- or tri-component regulatory systems, small non-coding RNA’s, chaperones, CHRIS-Cas systems, DNA repair, toxin-antitoxin systems, the stringent response, efflux pumps, alarmones, and modulation of the cell envelope or membranes, to name a few. Many regulatory elements are conserved in different bacteria; however there are endless variations on the theme and novel elements of gene regulation in bacteria inhabiting particular environments are constantly being discovered. Especially in (pathogenic) bacteria colonizing the human body a plethora of bacterial responses to innate stresses such as pH, reactive nitrogen and oxygen species and antibiotic stress are being described. An attempt is made to not only cover model systems but give a broad overview of the stress-responsive regulatory systems in a variety of bacteria, including medically important bacteria, where elucidation of certain aspects of these systems could lead to treatment strategies of the pathogens. Many of the regulatory systems being uncovered are specific, but there is also considerable “cross-talk” between different circuits. Stress and Environmental Regulation of Gene Expression and Adaptation in Bacteria is a comprehensive two-volume work bringing together both review and original research articles on key topics in stress and environmental control of gene expression in bacteria. Volume One contains key overview chapters, as well as content on one/two/three component regulatory systems and stress responses, sigma factors and stress responses, small non-coding RNAs and stress responses, toxin-antitoxin systems and stress responses, stringent response to stress, responses to UV irradiation, SOS and double stranded systems repair systems and stress, adaptation to both oxidative and osmotic stress, and desiccation tolerance and drought stress. Volume Two covers heat shock responses, chaperonins and stress, cold shock responses, adaptation to acid stress, nitrosative stress, and envelope stress, as well as iron homeostasis, metal resistance, quorum sensing, chemotaxis and biofilm formation, and viable but not culturable (VBNC) cells. Covering the full breadth of current stress and environmental control of gene expression studies and expanding it towards future advances in the field, these two volumes are a one-stop reference for (non) medical molecular geneticists interested in gene regulation under stress.

Book Synopsis Regulatory RNAs by : Bibekanand Mallick
Download or read book Regulatory RNAs written by Bibekanand Mallick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent progress in high-throughput technologies and genome wide transcriptome studies have lead to a significant scientific milestone of discovering non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which spans through a major portion of the genome. These RNAs most often act as riboregulators, and actively participate in the regulation of important cellular functions at the transcriptional and/or post-transcriptional levels rather than simply being an intermediated messenger between DNA and proteins. As the appreciation for the importance of ncRNAs continues to emerge, it is also increasingly clear that these play critical roles in gene regulatory processes during development and differentiation. Further, regulatory RNAs are useful biomarkers for diagnosis of diseases. Hence these RNA regulators are essential to the development of therapeutics. This book on “Regulatory RNAs” offers a comprehensive view on our current understanding of these regulatory RNAs viz. siRNA, miRNA, piRNA, snoRNA, long non-coding RNA, small RNA etc. It addresses both the biogenesis and mechanism of action of regulatory RNAs with a primary focus on their annotation, experimental methodologies (microarray, next-gen sequencing etc.) for their discovery, computational tools for their prediction, and above all, applications of these revolutionary regulatory molecules in understanding biological systems and diseases, including therapeutics. This comprehensive volume is intended for readers with research or teaching interests in ncRNA biology and will provide a major information resource on current research in the fast-moving fields of RNA and gene expression regulation. Cutting-edge and concise, “Regulatory RNAs: Basics, Methods and Applications” promises to support vital research in the field of regulatory RNAs, ever-continuing to grow rapidly and gain increasing importance in basic and translational biology.
Download or read book RNA Nanotechnology written by Bin Wang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few decades there has been incredible growth in "bionano"-related research, which has been accompanied by numerous publications in this field. Although various compilations address topics related to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein, there are few books that focus on determining the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and using RNA as building blocks to construct nanoarchitectures for biomedical and healthcare applications. RNA Nanotechnology is a comprehensive volume that details both the traditional approaches and the latest developments in the field of RNA-related technology. This book targets a wide audience: a broad introduction provides a solid academic background for students, researchers, and scientists who are unfamiliar with the subject, while the in-depth descriptions and discussions are useful for advanced professionals. The book opens with reviews on the basic aspects of RNA biology, computational approaches for predicting RNA structures, and traditional and emerging experimental approaches for probing RNA structures. This section is followed by explorations of the latest research and discoveries in RNA nanotechnology, including the design and construction of RNA-based nanostructures. The final segment of the book includes descriptions and discussions of the potential biological and therapeutic applications of small RNA molecules, such as small/short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), RNA aptamers, and ribozymes.
Book Synopsis Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Pathogenic Bacteria by : Juan Carlos Alonso
Download or read book Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Pathogenic Bacteria written by Juan Carlos Alonso and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, which are ubiquitously present in bacterial genomes, are not essential for normal cell proliferation. The TA systems regulate fundamental cellular processes, facilitate survival under stress conditions, have essential roles in virulence and represent potential therapeutic targets. These genetic TA loci are also shown to be involved in the maintenance of successful multidrug-resistant mobile genetic elements. The TA systems are classified as types I to VI, according to the nature of the antitoxin and to the mode of toxin inhibition. Type II TA systems encode a labile antitoxin and its stable toxin; degradation of the antitoxin renders a free toxin, which is bacteriostatic by nature. A free toxin generates a reversible state with low metabolic activity (quiescence) by affecting important functions of bacterial cells such as transcription, translation, DNA replication, replication and cell-wall synthesis, biofilm formation, phage predation, the regulation of nucleotide pool, etc., whereas antitoxins are toxin inhibitors. Under stress conditions, the TA systems might form networks. To understand the basis of the unique response of TA systems to stress, the prime causes of the emergence of drug-resistant strains, and their contribution to therapy failure and the development of chronic and recurrent infections, must be known in order to grasp how TA systems contribute to the mechanisms of phenotypic heterogeneity and pathogenesis that will enable the rational development of new treatments for infections caused by pathogens.
Book Synopsis Structural and Parametric Identification of Bacterial Regulatory Networks by : Diana Stefan
Download or read book Structural and Parametric Identification of Bacterial Regulatory Networks written by Diana Stefan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-throughput technologies yield large amounts of data about the steady-state levels and the dynamical changes of gene expression in bacteria. An important challenge for the biological interpretation of these data consists in deducing the topology of the underlying regulatory network as well as quantitative gene regulation functions from such data. A large number of inference methods have been proposed in the literature and have been successful in a variety of applications, although several problems remain. We focus here on improving two aspects of the inference methods. First, transcriptome data reflect the abundance of mRNA, whereas the components that regulate are most often the proteins coded by the mRNAs. Although the concentrations of mRNA and protein correlate reasonably during steady-state growth, this correlation becomes much more tenuous in time-series data acquired during growth transitions in bacteria because of the very different half-lives of proteins and mRNA. Second, the dynamics of gene expression is not only controlled by transcription factors and other specific regulators, but also by global physiological effects that modify the activity of all genes. For example, the concentrations of (free) RNA polymerase and the concentration of ribosomes vary strongly with growth rate. We therefore have to take into account such effects when trying to reconstruct a regulatory network from gene expression data. We propose here a combined experimental and computational approach to address these two fundamental problems in the inference of quantitative models of the activity of bacterial promoters from time-series gene expression data. We focus on the case where the dynamics of gene expression is measured in vivo and in real time by means of fluorescent reporter genes. Our network reconstruction approach accounts for the differences between mRNA and protein half-lives and takes into account global physiological effects. When the half-lives of the proteins are available, the measurement models used for deriving the activities of genes from fluorescence data are integrated to yield estimates of protein concentrations. The global physiological state of the cell is estimated from the activity of a phage promoter, whose expression is not controlled by any transcription factor and depends only on the activity of the transcriptional and translational machinery. We apply the approach to a central module in the regulatory network controlling motility and the chemotaxis system in Escherichia coli. This module comprises the FliA, FlgM and tar genes. FliA is a sigma factor that directs RNA polymerase to operons coding for components of the flagellar assembly. The effect of FliA is counteracted by the antisigma factor FlgM, itself transcribed by FliA. The third component of the network, tar, codes for the aspartate chemoreceptor protein Tar and is directly transcribed by the FliA-containing RNA polymerase holoenzyme. The FliA-FlgM module is particularly well-suited for studying the inference problems considered here, since the network has been well-studied and protein half-lives play an important role in its functioning. We stimulated the FliA-FlgM module in a variety of wild-type and mutant strains and different growth media. The measured transcriptional response of the genes was used to systematically test the information required for the reliable inference of the regulatory interactions and quantitative predictive models of gene regulation. Our results show that for the reliable reconstruction of transcriptional regulatory networks in bacteria it is necessary to include global effects into the network model and explicitly deduce protein concentrations from the observed expression profiles. Our approach should be generally applicable to a large variety of network inference problems and we discuss limitations and possible extensions of the method.
