Similarly, proteome data revealed a consistent expression of 64 and 60 proteins

by the cattle and sheep MAP strains respectively. A comparison of these consistently detected transcripts and proteins revealed that, in the presence of iron, one third of the differentially regulated genes (P < 0.05) were represented both in the respective transcriptome and the proteomes of the two strains (Figure 1). Figure 1 Transcriptome and https://www.selleckchem.com/products/sn-38.html proteome comparisons: Venn diagram showing the comparison of transcripts and proteins that were differentially expressed at a fold change of 1.5 or greater in cattle or sheep MAP strains in response to iron. One third of the genes differentially expressed in response to iron were represented in both the transcriptome and the proteome. Transcript profiles under iron-limiting conditions Under iron-limiting conditions both the MAP strains showed increased transcription of genes belonging to mycobactin synthesis

and esx-3, an essential secretory system of mycobactin biosynthesis (Additional file 1, Tables S2 – S5) [30]. C MAP showed increased transcription of genes belonging to ABC type transporter proteins, suf operon involved in Fe-S cluster assembly proteins EPZ015938 nmr (MAP1187-MAP1192), fatty acid biosynthesis operon (MAP3188-MAP3190) and a pyruvate dehydrogenase operon (MAP2307c-MAP2309c) (Table 1 and Additional file 1, Table S5) suggesting that the transcriptional machinery is used to mobilize iron to maintain intracellular homeostasis. CMAP also upregulated expression of an enhanced intracellular survival gene (eis) (MAP2325), which was described as “”deletion 3″” in sheep strains of MAP [16].
