High-resolution transcriptome and genome-wide dynamics of RNA polymerase and NusA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Claudia Sala, Swapna Uplekar

To construct a regulatory map of the genome of the human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we applied two complementary high-resolution approaches: strand-specific RNA-seq, to survey the global transcriptome, and ChIP-seq, to monitor the genome-wide dy ...

Advances in the development of new tuberculosis drugs and treatment regimens

Stewart Cole

Despite the introduction 40 years ago of the inexpensive and effective four-drug (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol) treatment regimen, tuberculosis (TB) continues to cause considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. For the first time ...

High-resolution detection of DNA binding sites of the global transcriptional regulator GlxR in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Swapna Uplekar

The transcriptional regulator GlxR has been characterized as a global hub within the gene-regulatory network of Corynebacterium glutamicum. Chromatin immunoprecipitation with a specific anti-GlxR antibody and subsequent high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq ...

Database resources for the tuberculosis community

Stewart Cole, Jocelyne Lew, Ioannis Xenarios

Access to online repositories for genomic and associated "-omics" datasets is now an essential part of everyday research activity. It is important therefore that the Tuberculosis community is aware of the databases and tools available to them online, as we ...

Application of High-Density DNA Resequencing Microarray for Detection and Characterization of Botulinum Neurotoxin-Producing Clostridia

Stewart Cole

Background: Clostridium botulinum and related clostridia express extremely potent toxins known as botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) that cause severe, potentially lethal intoxications in humans. These BoNT-producing bacteria are categorized in seven major toxi ...

Virulence Regulator EspR of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is a Nucleoid-Associated Protein

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Florence Pojer, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Swapna Uplekar, Jeffrey Chen, Benjamin Blasco

The principal virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the ESX-1 protein secretion system, is positively controlled at the transcriptional level by EspR. Depletion of EspR reportedly affects a small number of genes, both positively or neg ...
