P. aeruginosa TY1-PA3898 ChIP-seq
We present here a transcriptional regulator, PA3898, which controls biofilm formation and multidrug efflux-pumps in P. aeruginosa. A mutant of this regulator significantly reduced the ability of P. aeruginosa to produce biofilm in vitro, and affected its in vivo fitness and pathogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster and BALB/c mouse lung infection models. Transcriptome analysis revealed that PA3898 modulates essential virulence genes/pathways, including multidrug efflux-pumps and phenazine biosynthesis.ChIP-seq identified its DNA binding sequences and confirmed PA3898 directly interacts with promoter regions of four genes/operons, two of which are mexAB-oprM and phz2. Overall design: PAO1 strain contains TY1-tagged PA3898 was used to identify DNA sequences that interact with regulator via ChIP-seq
