Characterization of the Radiation Desiccation Response Regulon of the Radioresistant Bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans by Integrative Genomic Analyses
Numerous genes are overexpressed in the radioresistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans after exposure to radiation or prolonged desiccation. It was shown that the DdrO and IrrE proteins play a major role in regulating the expression of approximately twenty genes. The transcriptional repressor DdrO...

description | Numerous genes are overexpressed in the radioresistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans after exposure to radiation or prolonged desiccation. It was shown that the DdrO and IrrE proteins play a major role in regulating the expression of approximately twenty genes. The transcriptional repressor DdrO blocks the expression of these genes under normal growth conditions. After exposure to genotoxic agents, the IrrE metalloprotease cleaves DdrO and relieves gene repression. At present, many questions remain, such as the number of genes regulated by DdrO. Here, we present the first ChIP-seq analysis performed at the genome level in Deinococcus species coupled with RNA-seq, which was achieved in the presence or not of DdrO. We also resequenced our laboratory stock strain of D. radiodurans R1 ATCC 13939 to obtain an accurate reference for read alignments and gene expression quantifications. We highlighted genes that are directly under the control of this transcriptional repressor and showed that the DdrO regulon in D. radiodurans includes numerous other genes than those previously described, including DNA and RNA metabolism proteins. These results thus pave the way to better understand the radioresistance pathways encoded by this bacterium and to compare the stress-induced responses mediated by this pair of proteins in diverse bacteria. |
