The bacterial cell cycle is a fundamental process in life and is important for the study of growth and as a target for next generation antibiotics. Here, we detailed the rapid synchronization procedures for C. crescentus NA1000, a model organism for the study of the bacterial cell cycle and asymmetric cell division. This method is amendable to western blot, gene expression profiling, and fluorescence microscopy assays to investigate the spatiotemporal regulation of the bacterial cell cycle.

Den bakterielle celle cyklus styrer både replikation af genomet og opdelingen af ​​datterceller. Vigtigere er det, som antibiotikaresistens er en voksende trussel mod folkesundheden, den bakterielle cellecyklus præsenterer en uudnyttet mål for antibiotika udvikling. I bakterien Caulobacter crescentus, hver celle cyklus fører til en asymmetrisk opdeling, hvilket gav to datterceller celler af forskellige skæbner (figur 1A) 1,2. En datter celle arver en flagellum og er bevægelige, mens den anden datter arver en stilk og er siddende. En integreret genetiske kredsløb styrer cellecyklusprogression og celle skæbne ved transkriptionel regulering, phospho-signalering, og reguleret proteolyse 3. Desuden kromosomreplikation og samtidige adskillelse udbytte datter celler, der indeholder præcis én kopi af kromosom 4. Det er vigtigt, kan disse to celletyper hurtigt separeret ved Colloidal silica partikel densitetscentrifugering i synchronizable NA1000 stamme 5-7 tillader isolation af swarmer celler fra resten af befolkningen med høje udbytter (Figur 1B). Isoleret swarmer celler derefter fortsætte synkront gennem asymmetrisk celledeling. Her vi detaljeret protokol, der bruges til synkronisering Caulobacter stamme NA1000. Vi leverer protokoller og fælles tips til både stor og lille skala synkroniseringer fejlfinding. Denne eksperimentelle fremgangsmåde giver et stærkt værktøj til at afhøre den spatiotemporale kontrol af Caulobacter cellecyklus og celle skæbne.

synchronization of caulobacter crescentus for investigation of the bacterial cell cycle

The cell cycle is important for growth, genome replication, and development in all cells. In bacteria, studies of the cell cycle have focused largely on unsynchronized cells making it difficult to order the temporal events required for cell cycle progression, genome replication, and division. Caulobacter crescentus provides an excellent model system for the bacterial cell cycle whereby cells can be rapidly synchronized in a G0 state by density centrifugation. Cell cycle synchronization experiments have been used to establish the molecular events governing chromosome replication and segregation, to map a genetic regulatory network controlling cell cycle progression, and to identify the establishment of polar signaling complexes required for asymmetric cell division. Here we provide a detailed protocol for the rapid synchronization of Caulobacter NA1000 cells. Synchronization can be performed in a large-scale format for gene expression profiling and western blot assays, as well as a small-scale format for microscopy or FACS assays. The rapid synchronizability and high cell yields of Caulobacter make this organism a powerful model system for studies of the bacterial cell cycle.

Synkronisering typisk giver to bånd af celler (Figur 1B): den swarmer band, som har en højere densitet og en forfulgt / predivisional celle band med lavere tæthed. For at sikre effektiv synkronisering fælles kontrol omfatte overvågning af OD600 og måling af niveauerne af ctra protein ved western blot ved særskilte cellecyklus tidspunkter. OD600 bør stige med ca. 2 gange i løbet af cellecyklen (figur 2). Western blot for cellecyklus hovedregulator ctra er e...
