• W3206510635 abstract "SarA, a transcriptional regulator of Staphylococcus aureus, is a major global regulatory system that coordinates the expression of target genes involved in its pathogenicity. Various studies have identified a large number of SarA target genes, but an in-depth characterization of the sarA regulon, including small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), has not yet been done. In this study, we utilized transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to determine a comprehensive list of SarA-regulated targets, including both mRNAs and sRNAs. RNA-Seq analysis indicated 390 mRNAs and 51 sRNAs differentially expressed in a ΔsarA mutant, while ChIP-Seq revealed 354 mRNAs and 55 sRNA targets in the S. aureus genome. We confirmed the authenticity of several novel SarA targets by Northern blotting and electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Among them, we characterized repression of sprG2, a gene that encodes the toxin of a type I toxin-antitoxin system, indicating a multilayer lockdown of toxin expression by both SarA and its cognate antitoxin, SprF2. Finally, a novel SarA consensus DNA binding sequence was generated using the upstream promoter sequences of 15 novel SarA-regulated sRNA targets. A genome-wide scan with a deduced SarA motif enabled the discovery of new potential SarA target genes which were not identified in our RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq analyses. The strength of this new consensus was confirmed with one predicted sRNA target. The RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq combinatory analysis gives a snapshot of the regulation, whereas bioinformatic analysis reveals a permanent view of targets based on sequence. Altogether these experimental and in silico methodologies are effective to characterize transcriptional factor (TF) regulons and functions. IMPORTANCE Staphylococcus aureus, a commensal and opportunist pathogen, is responsible for a large number of human and animal infections, from benign to severe. Gene expression adaptation during infection requires a complex network of regulators, including transcriptional factors (TF) and sRNAs. TF SarA influences virulence, metabolism, biofilm formation, and resistance to some antibiotics. SarA directly regulates expression of around 20 mRNAs and a few sRNAs. Here, we combined high-throughput expression screening methods combined with binding assays and bioinformatics for an in-depth investigation of the SarA regulon. This combinatory approach allowed the identification of 85 unprecedented mRNAs and sRNAs targets, with at least 14 being primary. Among novel SarA direct targets, we characterized repression of sprG2, a gene that encodes the toxin of a toxin-antitoxin system, indicating a multilayer lockdown of toxin expression by both SarA and its cognate antitoxin, SprF2." @default.
