Transposon insertion site sequencing (TIS) is a technique that determines the insertion profile of a transposon mutant library by massive parallel sequencing of transposon-genomic DNA junctions. Because the transposon insertion profile reflects the abundance of each mutant in the library, it provides information to assess the fitness contribution of each genetic locus of a bacterial genome in a specific growth condition or strain background. Although introduced only about a dozen years ago, TIS has become an important tool in bacterial genetics that provides clues to study biological functions and regulatory mechanisms. Here, I describe a protocol for generating high density transposon insertion mutant libraries and preparing Illumina sequencing samples for mapping the transposon junctions of the transposon mutant libraries using Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an example.

Abstract PDF

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an important disease, which leads to severe economic losses in swine-producing areas of the world. However, current antiviral strategies cannot provide highly effective protection. In this study, three theoretically effective interference target sites (71-91, 144-164, 218-238) targeting the nucleocapsid (N) gene of PRRSV were designed and selected, and then three siRNA-expressing plasmids were constructed, respectively named p2.1-N71, p2.1-N144, and p2.1-N218. The recombinant siRNA-expressing plasmids were transfected into Marc-145 cells; then the cells were infected with PRRSV (JL07SW strain); finally, after incubation for 48 h, the antiviral activity of those siRNA-expressing plasmids in Marc-145 cells was assessed by cytopathic effects, virus titers, indirect immunofluorescence, and quantitative real-time PCR. Experimental results demonstrated that these three siRNA-expressing plasmids could effectively and significantly inhibit the replication of PRRSV by 93.2%, 83.6%, and 89.2% in Marc-145 cells, respectively. Among these three siRNA-expressing plasmids, p2.1-N71 was found to be most effective, while p2.1-N144 and p2.1-N218 displayed relatively weak inhibition of virus replication. The results indicated that siRNA-expressing plasmids targeting the N gene of PRRSV could significantly inhibit PRRSV replication in Marc-145 cells. Based on our experimental results and previous reports, the 71-91, 179-197, and 234-252 sites of the N gene are good choices to effectively inhibit the replication of PRRSV, and this RNA interference technique can be a potential anti-PRRSV strategy.

Biochemical Characteristics of Immune-Associated Phospholipase A2 and Its Inhibition by an Entomopathogenic Bacterium, Xenorhabdus nematophila: Sony Shrestha , Yonggyun Kim; J. Microbiol. 2009;47(6):774-782. Published online February 4, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12275-009-0145-3

Abstract PDF

An entomopathogenic bacterium, Xenorhabdus nematophila, induces an immunosuppression of target insects by inhibiting phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity. Recently, an immune-associated PLA2 gene was identified from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. This study cloned this PLA2 gene in a bacterial expression vector to produce a recombinant enzyme. The recombinant T. castaneum PLA2 (TcPLA2) exhibited its characteristic enzyme activity with substrate concentration, pH, and ambient temperature. Its biochemical characteristics matched to a secretory type of PLA2 (sPLA2) because its activity was inhibited by dithiothreitol (a reducing agent of disulfide bond) and bromophenacyl bromide (a specific sPLA2 inhibitor) but not by methylarachidonyl fluorophosphonate (a specific cytosolic type of PLA2). The X. nematophila culture broth contained PLA2 inhibitory factor(s), which was most abundant in the media obtained at a stationary bacterial growth phase. The PLA2 inhibitory factor(s) was heat-resistant and extracted in both aqueous and organic fractions. Effect of a PLA2-inhibitory fraction on the immunosuppression of T. castaneum was equally comparable with that resulted from inhibition of the TcPLA2 gene expression by RNA interference.
