Functional homology was demonstrated by complementing the temperature-sensitive growth defect of an E. coli rpoH deletion mutant with the C. crescentus rpoH gene. He is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books, and his work has also appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, The Believer, The Nation, Artforum, American Quarterly, and 4/2014. Dye, N.

The "glycerol-less" death of the gpsA mutant could be prevented if the cells were treated with novobiocin to prevent the initiation of DNA replication. The expression of the Caulobacter crescentus homolog of dnaX, which in Escherichia coli encodes both the gamma and tau subunits of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, is subject to cell cycle control. An inducible promoter is a useful tool for the controlled expression of a given gene. Phosphorylation signals, DNA methylation, differential chromosome structures, protein targeting, and selective protein degradation are also involved in establishing and maintaining cellular asymmetry. Martin J. Smith. Mann, T. H., Childers, W. S., Blair, J. SpoT is a bifunctional synthase/hydrolase that controls the steady-state level of the stress-signaling nucleotide (p)ppGpp, and carbon starvation caused a SpoT-dependent increase in (p)ppGpp concentration. Class II genes are the earliest to be expressed and are activated at a specific time in the cell cycle by the CtrA response regulator. Here we report a novel assay to visualize pili by light microscopy that led to the purification of CAULOBACTER: pili and the isolation of a cluster of seven genes, including the major pilin subunit gene pilA. An additional level of control was revealed when it was found that an interruption of DNA replication caused the inhibition of flaS transcription. View details for DOI 10.1073/pnas.1114444108. In contrast to other uranium detection methodologies, the Caulobacter reporter strain can provide on-demand usability in the field; it requires minimal sample processing and no equipment other than a hand-held UV lamp, and it may be sprayed directly on soil, groundwater, or industrial surfaces. Like flagellar biogenesis, stalk formation is an asymmetric polar morphogenesis that occurs once each cell cycle in response to internal cell cycle signals. Insertions within temporally regulated genes, such as those involved in flagellar biosynthesis and chemotaxis functions, can now be used directly to monitor transcriptional regulation from Caulobacter promoter sequences. Optical microscopy for this study was carried out at the Moerner lab at Stanford. Transcription of the early region of the phi Cd1 genome was examined in vitro with C. crescentus RNA polymerase. Replication initiator DnaA binds at the Caulobacter centromere and enables chromosome segregation. The synthesis of the peptidoglycan cell wall is carefully regulated in time and space. However, in the last decade, cytoskeletal proteins have indeed been found to exist in bacteria where they have an important role in organizing the bacterial cell. Developmental biologist Lucy Shapiro, PhD, opened the second annual Discovery Innovation Awards event held on campus recently by sharing her personal research story. We propose that disruption of the trans-envelope Tol-Pal complex releases TipN from its subcellular position. Acoustically triggered mechanotherapy using genetically encoded gas vesicles. 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. We illustrate the workflow by annotating the positions of three proteins in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus: McpA, PopZ, and SpmX. This directional movement of labeled MreB in the growing polymer provides an indication that, like actin, MreB monomers treadmill through MreB filaments by preferential polymerization at one filament end and depolymerization at the other filament end.

A restriction map of the Caulobacter crescentus bacteriophage phi Cd1 genome was constructed by using the restriction endonucleases HindIII and HpaI. hergenro@illinois.edu Beyond direct protein coding, genomes encode regulatory information required to orchestrate the proper timing and levels of gene expression and protein synthesis, and contain binding sites and regulatory sequences to co-ordinate the activities of proteins involved in chromosome repair and maintenance. We propose that the maintenance of DNA topology throughout the cell cycle contributes to the dynamic positioning of the origin sequence within the cell. The CcrM DNA methyltransferase of the alpha-proteobacteria catalyzes the methylation of the adenine in the sequence GAnTC. Yeh, Y., Comolli, L. R., Downing, K. H., Shapiro, L., McAdams, H. H. Imaging-Based Identification of a Critical Regulator of FtsZ Protofilament Curvature in Caulobacter. Biteen, J. S., Shapiro, L., Moerner, W. E. The role of a bacterial SMC in chromosome segregation. In swarmer cells, CpdR is in the phosphorylated state, thus preventing ClpXP localization and CtrA degradation. We show that the peptidoglycan transpeptidase Pbp2 also forms a helical pattern that partially colocalizes with MreC but not MreB. Shapiro, L., FRANZE DE FERNANDEZ, M. T., August, J. T. August, J. T., Banerjee, A. K., EOYANG, L., DEFERNAN, M. T., Hori, K., Kuo, C. H., RENSING, U., Shapiro, L. PHYSICAL STUDIES ON STRUCTURE OF YEAST MITOCHONDRIAL DNA. These controls include temporally regulated transcription and phosphorylation and spatially restricted proteolysis. We report the identification of another C. crescentus heat shock operon containing two genes, hrcA (hrc for heat shock regulation at CIRCE elements) and a grpE homolog. Thus, the direct coupling of chromosome replication with the cell cycle is mediated by the ubiquitous two-component signaling proteins. These results suggest that the leftward end of this cluster contains a region that may function in a regulatory capacity whereas the rightward end may contain sequences overlapping a flagellin structural gene. In this study, we report the use of a highly photostable fluoromodule, dL5, to genetically label proteins in the Gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, enabling long-time-scale protein tracking and super-resolution microscopy. Remedi MS. PMID: 33962357. M.S. Northern blot analysis revealed a single 4.0-kilobase mRNA homologous to the cloned fragment. Leonard, K. R., Maizel, J. V., AGABIANK, N., Shapiro, L., KLEINSCH, A. K. EFFECT OF DIBUTYRYLADENOSINE 3'-5'-CYCLIC MONOPHOSPHATE ON GROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION IN CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. Examination of the 16 S rRNA genes from other bacterial species and chloroplasts and 18 S rRNA genes from Xenopus and yeast revealed that the nucleotide sequence of this internal 16 S rRNA promoter region was highly conserved. The first gene in this operon was shown to encode an MCP by immuno-blot analysis of strains carrying beta-galactosidase protein fusions to portions of the operon. However, all plasmids tested showed a ten- to 20-fold higher replication rate in the stalked cells than the swarmer cells. The first parameter correlates with genome GC content, and the second parameter correlates with context-dependent nucleotide bias. ChpT functions as a histidine-containing phosphotransfer protein (HPt) that shuttles a phosphoryl group from the receiver domain of CckA, the upstream hybrid histidine kinase (HK), to one of two downstream response regulators (CtrA or CpdR) that controls cell-cycle progression. View details for Web of Science ID A1997WE44000004, View details for PubMedCentralID PMC178736. Each cell division produces two distinct cell types: a swarmer cell and a stalked cell. Here we demonstrate that the Caulobacter PopZ scaffold creates an organizing center at the cell pole that actively regulates polar centromere transport by the ParA partition system. In the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, many cellular processes are temporally regulated with respect to the cell cycle, and the genes required for these processes are expressed immediately before the products are needed. (1988) Gene 68, 323-333], the origin was localized to a 305-kilobase fragment containing the rrnA gene. We demonstrate the direct binding between these three proteins and show that a polar microdomain spontaneously assembles when the three proteins are coexpressed heterologously in an Escherichia coli test system. The region of the chromosome defined by flaE mutations contains at least one flagellin structural gene and appears to regulate flagellin synthesis and flagellar assembly. Proteins involved in chemotaxis methylation reactions have been identified in Caulobacter crescentus and their activities, times of synthesis and cellular positions have been determined. Join us. These changes in DNA methylation could signal differential binding of regulatory proteins to activate or repress transcription. There are many instances of differential polar functions; among these is the preferential use of old poles when attaching to host cells as in the interaction of Bradyrhizobium with plant root hairs (3) or the polar pili-mediated attachment of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogen to tracheal epithelia (4). Thus, in both human cells (I. K. L. Milarski and R. I. Morimoto, Proc. The actin homolog MreB contributes to bacterial cell shape. DnaA initiates DNA replication and activates the transcription of the next cell-cycle regulator, GcrA. Thanks to all the lab members, alumni and friends who joined us for the Shapiro Lab summer retreat in Temecula, CA. We sought to identify FtsZ-binding proteins that influence FtsZ function in Caulobacter crescentus. Caulobacter crescentus is a model organism for the integrated circuitry that runs a bacterial cell cycle. The bacterial chromosome encodes information at multiple levels. Cell Metabolism.

THE BACTERIAL FLAGELLUM - FROM GENETIC NETWORK TO COMPLEX ARCHITECTURE, IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL PROTEIN OR PROTEIN DOMAIN INVOLVED IN INITIATION OF DNA-REPLICATION IN CAULOBACTER, TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL CONTROL OF CELL-DIFFERENTIATION DURING A BACTERIAL-CELL CYCLE. Entry into the microdomain is selective for cytosolic proteins and requires a binding pathway to PopZ. One reason for this is that the distribution and structure of the proteins is obfuscated by the diffraction limit in standard wide-field and confocal fluorescence imaging. 1973-1974 Stanford University, Senior Researcher Home | Department | Faculty | Education | Labs | Publications | Giving | Contact, Terms of Use | Privacy | Copyright | Trademarks | Non-Discrimination | Accessibility, https://facultypositions.stanford.edu/en-us/job/493432, Heidi Chen in Gill Bejerano & David Kingsley's lab successfully defended her thesis titled Whole-genome comparisons identify enhancers underlying repeated fin evolution in diverse fishes, Mollie Friedlander Qian defended her thesis titled "Discovering new functions of the diabetes gene HNF1A in human pancreatic islets". These results suggest that the inverted repeat sequences have the capacity to rearrange and thus be located at different sites on the genomes of the different cell types. Advances in microscopic and cell biological techniques have considerably improved our understanding of bacterial chromosome organization and dynamics. Caulobacter crescentus has one of the simplest known developmental programs that exhibits both temporal and spatial organization. Gahlmann, A., Ptacin, J. L., von Diezmann, A. S., Shapiro, L., Moerner, W. E. Quantitative Registration and Distribution Analysis of Multicolor 3D Super-Resolution Images of Proteins Reveals Nanoscale Spatial Organization. All of the mutants in this cluster exhibited pleiotropic effects on the expression of other flagellar and chemotaxis functions, including the level of synthesis of flagellins, the hook protein and hook protein precursor, and the level of chemotaxis methylation.

Analysis of the fliX-flgI intergenic region revealed an arrangement of cis-acting elements similar to that of another set of Caulobacter class II and class III flagellar genes, fliL-flgF, that is also divergently transcribed. Through quantification by Ripley's K-test and comparison with Monte Carlo simulations, we find the protein is slightly clustered within a mostly uniform distribution throughout the swarmer and stalked stages of the cell cycle but more highly clustered in predivisional cells. Super-resolution Imaging of Live Bacteria Cells Using a Genetically Directed, Highly Photostable Fluoromodule. Bacterial cells utilize toxin-antitoxin systems to inhibit self-reproduction, while maintaining viability, when faced with environmental challenges. Using structural biology and biochemical findings we proposed a mechanistic basis for TCS pathway coupling in which the DivL pseudokinase is repurposed as a sensor rather than participant in phosphotransduction. We demonstrate here that two flagellar genes, flaE and flaY, whose products function in trans to modulate the level of transcription of other flagellar genes, are themselves temporally controlled. We show that the Caulobacter HdaA homologue is necessary to restrict the initiation of DNA replication to only once per cell cycle and that it dynamically colocalizes with the replisome throughout the cell cycle. We have developed a technique, termed superresolution by power-dependent active intermittency and points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (SPRAIPAINT) that combines imaging of intracellular enhanced YFP (eYFP) fusions (SPRAI) with stochastic localization of the cell surface (PAINT) to image two different fluorophores sequentially with only one laser. These two cell types differ in their program of gene expression, their ability to replicate DNA, and the physical properties of their nucleoids. A., Shapiro, L.

Oligomerization and higher-order assembly contribute to sub-cellular localization of a bacterial scaffold. Blackburn, E., Firtel, R. A., Shapiro, L. GENETIC-ANALYSIS OF A TEMPORALLY TRANSCRIBED CHEMOTAXIS GENE-CLUSTER IN CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. We show that the PopZ oligomeric network forms polar ribosome exclusion zones that change function during cell cycle progression. The flagellum and chemotaxis receptor are asymmetrically localized to a single pole in the predivisional cell by coordinated proteolysis and transcriptional regulation. Each Caulobacter cell cycle involves differentiation and an asymmetric cell division driven by a cyclical regulatory circuit comprised of four transcription factors (TFs) and a DNA methyltransferase. The host RNA polymerase appears to be involved in the early transcription program of the Caulobacter crescentus bacteriophage phiCdl. In the absence of DnaA, the CtrA master regulator is cleared by proteolysis during the swarmer-to-stalked cell transition as usual, but DNA replication initiation is blocked.

Single-molecule imaging demonstrated physical anticorrelation between sequestered CcrM and chromosomal DNA, thus preventing DNA remethylation. View details for Web of Science ID A1985C628800100. In bacteria, studies of the cell cycle have focused largely on unsynchronized cells making it difficult to order the temporal events required for cell cycle progression, genome replication, and division. The ctrA gene is preferentially transcribed from a hemimethylated promoter. Individual cells containing enhanced GFP were exposed to a bleaching laser pulse tightly focused at one cell pole. A highly ordered chromosome structure, established while DNA replication and partitioning are in progress, is maintained and propagated during growth.

Additionally, we summarize methods to use this fluoromodule for single protein imaging and super-resolution microscopy using stimulated emission depletion. Our partner, Stanford Blood Center, offers blood products to the Stanford community and beyond. We characterize its activation as a function of temperature and find that activation is efficient at cryogenic and room temperatures. Britos, L., Abeliuk, E., Taverner, T., Lipton, M., McAdams, H., Shapiro, L. Super-Resolution Imaging of the Nucleoid-Associated Protein HU in Caulobacter crescentus. A deletion or base changes in the RF-2 binding region eliminated expression of the flbN gene in E. coli even when a NifA protein was provided in trans, suggesting that a sigma 54 promoter with an upstream activator element is used by the C. crescentus flbN gene. We discovered an essential DNA-associated protein, GapR, that is required for Caulobacter growth and asymmetric division. A mutant of C. crescentus that fails to synthesize flagellin has been isolated. Hancock. View details for DOI 10.1126/science.1175685, View details for Web of Science ID 000272117900037. The flagellar genes with this conserved 5' region all initiate transcription early in the cell cycle and are all sensitive to a disruption in DNA replication. Graduate Student (joined @ 06/2017) Bioengineering. We are interested in candidates who will establish a vigorous and innovative research program studying fundamental biological processes in any experimental system. The achievements of our students and fellows have been recognized by many honors and awards, and many Stanford Developmental Biology alumni have become leaders in biomedical research, teaching, and medicine. The CtrA master transcriptional regulator is a central control element in Caulobacter cell cycle progression and polar morphogenesis. The Ben Shapiro Show. S1 protection assays and analysis of expression of the dnaK gene fused to the lux transcription reporter gene showed that expression of dnaK is temporally controlled under normal physiological conditions and that transcription occurs just before the initiation of DNA replication. Caulobacter crescentus performs chemotaxis by short intermittent reversals of rotation of its single polar flagellum. Chen, J. C., Viollier, P. H., Shapiro, L. Spatial complexity of mechanisms controlling a bacterial cell cycle, An actin-like gene can determine bacterial cell polarity, A genetic oscillator and the regulation of cell cycle progression in Caulobacter crescentus, Rapid and sequential movement of individual chromosomal loci to specific subcellular locations during bacterial DNA replication. The cheR, cheB and cheT genes appeared to be located in a three-gene cluster. When sufficient details accumulate, as for Caulobacter cell cycle regulation, the system design has been found to be eminently rational and indeed consistent with good design practices for human-designed asynchronous control systems. Here we demonstrate live-cell 3D superresolution imaging of Crescentin-eYFP, a cytoskeletal fluorescent protein fusion, colocalized with the surface of the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus using a double-helix point spread function microscope. Homologs of GapR, which are ubiquitous among the -proteobacteria and are encoded on multiple bacteriophage genomes, also accumulate in the predivisional cell swarmer compartment when expressed in Caulobacter The Escherichia coli nucleoid-associated protein H-NS, like GapR, selectively associates with AT-rich DNA, yet it does not localize preferentially to the swarmer compartment when expressed exogenously in Caulobacter, suggesting that recognition of AT-rich DNA is not sufficient for the asymmetric accumulation of GapR. Nisen, P., Medford, R., MANSOUR, J., Purucker, M., SKALKA, A., Shapiro, L. FLAGELLAR HOOK AND BASAL COMPLEX OF CAULOBACTER-CRESCENTUS. The relative order of the cleavage fragments was determined by specific cleavage of isolated restriction fragments, terminal labeling of both the whole genome and isolated fragments, and hybridization of isolated fragments to restriction fragments generated by other restriction enzymes. The foregoing studies are intended to define a differentiation process and to permit genetic access to the mechanisms that control this process. 138:401-410, 1980), we questioned whether the inhibition of stalk formation was due directly to the inhibition phospholipid synthesis or secondarily to the inhibition of DNA synthesis. Our results suggest that, in general, genome-wide codon bias is determined primarily by mutational processes that act throughout the genome, and only secondarily by selective forces acting on translated sequences. In addition, CtrA function is modulated by temporally and spatially controlled proteolysis. Herrmann, J., Li, P., Jabbarpour, F., Chan, A.

A., Tselentis, N. K., Shapiro, L., Moerner, W. E. Imaging beyond the diffraction limit in cells using single-molecule active control. Caulobacter crescentus integrates phospho-signaling pathways and transcription factor regulatory cascades to drive the cell cycle. 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). Here, we show that CckA uses its PAS domains to integrate information from DivL and its own oligomerization state to control the balance of its kinase and phosphatase activities. View details for Web of Science ID A1974U269600052. From these data, we extract several characteristics of single MreB filaments, including that they are, on average, much shorter than the cell length and that the direction of their polarized assembly seems to be independent of the overall cellular polarity. jkim622@illinois.edu Our work demonstrates how a second messenger provides spatiotemporal cues to change the physical behavior of an effector protein, thereby facilitating asymmetry. beta-Galactosidase-constitutive mutants did not exhibit a cell cycle arrest upon transfer of cultures from glucose to lactose. Dynamic protein localization is an integral component of the regulatory circuit that drives the Caulobacter cell cycle. August, J. T., EOYANG, L., DEFERNAN, M. T., Hasegawa, S., Kuo, C.

Averages of the rod-hook-filament subassembly ejected by swarmer cells reveal that the rod consists of two parts with the E ring marking the approximate position of the break. Taken together, these results suggest that the activity of both ClpXP and ClpAP on divisome substrates is differentially regulated in daughter cells. Homologous sequences were then detected by computer analysis of the published IS1 and IS2 nucleotide sequences. Frank Yang, lab member 2017-2019 PhD Candidate in Economics, Stanford Graduate School of Business, 2019-present BA Mathematics & Economics, Carleton College, 2017. Yoo S, Mittelstein DR, Hurt RC, Lacroix JJ, Shapiro MG*. In bacteria, the mechanisms that underlie the coordination of chromosome replication and segregation are poorly understood. Total phospholipid, DNA, RNA, and protein syntheses were unaffected. SciP is expressed late in the cell cycle and accumulates preferentially in the daughter swarmer cell. Bacteria deploy proteins and protein complexes to particular locations and do so in a dynamic manner in lockstep with the organized deployment of their chromosome. Lucy Shapiro - Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Developmental Biology. GapR target loci are especially enriched in binding sites for the transcription factors GcrA and CtrA and overlap with nearly all of the binding sites for MucR1, a regulator that controls the establishment of swarmer cell fate. A number of different factors appear to cooperate in condensing DNA into a highly dynamic assembly of supercoiled loops. A fliX null mutant is nonmotile, lacks a flagellum, and exhibits a marked cell division defect. View details for Web of Science ID 000361534800042, View details for PubMedCentralID PMC4541484. Our observations suggest that the processivity of C. crescentus replication requires concomitant phospholipid synthesis and that cell death results from incomplete replication of the chromosome. MmpA belongs to the site-2 protease (S2P) family of membrane-embedded zinc metalloproteases, which includes SpoIVFB and YluC of Bacillus subtilis and YaeL of Escherichia coli. We have performed in vivo genomic binding site analysis of the CtrA protein to identify which of these genes have regulatory regions bound directly by CtrA. Despite their similar promoter architecture, these genes are transcribed at different times in the cell cycle. Our research focuses on the development and function of glial cells in the vertebrate nervous system. Principles of modular design are evident in signaling networks that detect and integrate a given signal and, depending on the organism in which the network module is present, transduce this signal to affect different metabolic or developmental pathways. The probe correlation analysis approach reported here is of general use for large-scale sRNA identification for any sequenced microbial genome.
