Which bacterial molecules affect gene expression and life history traits?

Bacterial genetics

Interspecies systems biology

Page 27: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

C. elegans target of rapamycin (TOR) and insulin signaling pathways

are not involved in the response to Comamonas

MacNeil et al., Cell 2013

Page 28: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

What are the gene regulatory networks involved in the response to Comamonas?

The response to Comamonas is transcriptional

Comamonas makes a compound or signal

Transcription factors?

Signaling pathways?

Page 29: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

What are the gene regulatory networks involved in the response to Comamonas?

Forward and reverse genetic screens

Activators

Worms cannot respond to Comamonas diet

Repressors

35Multiple NHRs

(worms have 271!)

Page 30: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Most repressors are metabolicgenes, not transcription factors

From mutants to metabolites

Sequence Comamonas genome – identify genes

Map E. coli and Comamonas mutant genes onto metabolic network using KEGG

Annotate biological processes/pathways

Annotate candidate metabolites – mutant gene leads to buildup of precursor and lack of product

Ado-Cbl and Me-Cbl are two forms of vitamin B12

Mutation in either C. elegans gene

interferes with the response to Comamonas

Page 44: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Watson, MacNeil et al., Cell 2013

Vitamin B12 is in the C. elegans dietary response network

Page 45: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Is vitamin B12 theComamonas dilutable

molecule?

Vitamin B12 levels in Comamonas are orders of magnitude higher than in E. coli

Watson et al., Cell 2014

How does the gene regulatory network respond to Comamonas or E. coli?

Page 51: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

B12 fails to repress GFP expression in propionyl-CoA breakdown mutants

Page 52: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Vitamin B12 is not sufficient todrive sensor repression

Model: balance betweenVitamin B12 and propionyl-CoA

Chemical epistasis: add both B12 and propionic acid

Page 53: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Excess propionic acid is epistatic toVitamin B12

Vitamin B12 mimics Comamonas-induced changes in C. elegans gene expression

Two types of B12-regulated genes

Type 1: responsive to propionic acid

Type 2: not responsive to propionic acid

Watson et al., Cell 2014

Page 57: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Does vitamin B12 supplementation by Comamonas Explain its effects on C. elegans life history traits?

Page 58: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Vitamin B12 accelerates C. elegans development

B12 reduces fertilityB12 has no effect on lifespan

Watson et al., Cell 2014

Page 59: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

How does B12 accelerate development?

Watson et al., Cell 2014

Page 60: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Vitamin B12 developmental accelerationoccurs via methionine/SAM cycle

Mutants in propionic acid breakdown are accelerated by B12

Mutants in methionine/SAM cycle are not accelerated by B12

Watson et al., Cell 2014

Page 61: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout

Which metabolite drivesdevelopmental acceleration?

Watson et al., Cell 2014

Page 62: NetBioSIG2014-Keynote by Marian Walhout
