G. sulfurreducens is a representative of Geobacteraceae that has been extensively studied with the goal of extending the understanding of this family of organisms for optimizing their practical applications. Here, we have analyzed gene expression data from 10 experiments involving environmental and genetic perturbations and have identified putative transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) involved in regulating key aspects of metabolism. Specifically, we considered data from both a subset of 10 microarray experiments (7 of 10) and all 10 experiments. The expression data from these two sets were independently clustered, and the upstream regions of genes and operons from the clusters in both sets were used to identify TFBS using the AlignACE program. This analysis resulted in the identification of motifs upstream of several genes involved in central metabolism, sulfate assimilation, and energy metabolism, as well as genes potentially encoding acetate permease. Further, similar TFBS were identified from the analysis of both sets, suggesting that these TFBS are significant in the regulation of metabolism in G. sulfurreducens. In addition, we have utilized microarray data to derive condition specific constraints on the capacity of key enzymes in central metabolism. We have incorporated these constraints into the metabolic model of G. sulfurreducens and simulated Fe(II)-limited growth. The resulting prediction was consistent with data, suggesting that regulatory constraints are important for simulating growth phenotypes in nonoptimal environments.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18266557?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krushkal, Julia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yan, Bin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DiDonato, Laurie N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puljic, Marko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nevin, Kelly P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Woodard, Trevor L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adkins, Ronald M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methé, Barbara A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovley, Derek R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome-wide expression profiling in Geobacter sulfurreducens: identification of Fur and RpoS transcription regulatory sites in a relGsu mutant.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Funct Integr Genomics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Funct.

These proteins are involved in the regulation of levels of guanosine 3', 5' bispyrophosphate, ppGpp, a molecule that signals slow growth and stress response under nutrient limitation in bacteria. We used information obtained from genome-wide expression profiling of the rel(Gsu) deletion mutant to identify putative regulatory sites involved in transcription networks modulated by Rel(Gsu) or ppGpp. Differential gene expression in the rel(Gsu) deletion mutant, as compared to the wild type, was available from two growth conditions, steady state chemostat cultures and stationary phase batch cultures. Hierarchical clustering analysis of these two datasets identified several groups of operons that are likely co-regulated. Using a search for conserved motifs in the upstream regions of these co-regulated operons, we identified sequences similar to Fur- and RpoS-regulated sites. These findings suggest that Fur- and RpoS-dependent gene expression in G. sulfurreducens is affected by Rel(Gsu)-mediated signaling.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17406915?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
