    Abstract Bacteria are constantly subjected to stressful conditions, such as antibiotic exposure, nutrient limitation and oxidative stress. For pathogenic bacteria, adapting to the host environment, escaping defence mechanisms and coping with antibiotic stress are crucial for their survival and the establishment of a successful infection. Stress adaptation relies heavily on the rate at which the organism can remodel its gene expression programme to counteract the stress. RNA‐binding proteins mediating co‐ and post‐transcriptional regulation have recently emerged as important players in regulating gene expression during adaptive responses. Most of the research on these layers of gene expression regulation has been done in Gram‐negative model organisms where, thanks to a wide variety of global studies, large post‐transcriptional regulatory networks have been uncovered. Unfortunately, our understanding of post‐transcriptional regulation in Gram‐positive bacteria is lagging behind. One possible explanation for this is that many proteins employed by Gram‐negative bacteria are not well conserved in Gram‐positives. And even if they are conserved, they do not always play similar roles as in Gram‐negative bacteria. This raises the important question whether Gram‐positive bacteria regulate gene expression in a significantly different way. The goal of this review was to discuss this in more detail by reviewing the role of well‐known RNA‐binding proteins in Gram‐positive bacteria and by highlighting their different behaviours with respect to some of their Gram‐negative counterparts. Finally, the second part of this review introduces several unusual RNA‐binding proteins of Gram‐positive species that we believe could also play an important role in adaptive responses.

    Abstract RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) govern the lifespan of nearly all transcripts and play key roles in adaptive responses in microbes. A robust approach to examine protein-RNA interactions involves irradiating cells with UV light to form covalent adducts between RBPs and their cognate RNAs. Combined with RNA or protein purification, these procedures can provide global RBP censuses or transcriptomic maps for all target sequences of a single protein in living cells. The recent development of novel methods has quickly populated the RBP landscape in microorganisms. Here, we provide an overview of prominent UV cross-linking techniques which have been applied to investigate RNA interactomes in microbes. By assessing their advantages and caveats, this technical evaluation intends to guide the selection of appropriate methods and experimental design as well as to encourage the use of complementary UV-dependent techniques to inspect RNA-binding activity.

    Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen accounting for high mortality rates among infected patients. Transcriptomic regulation by small RNAs (sRNAs) has been shown to regulate networks promoting antibiotic resistance and virulence in S. aureus. Yet, the biological role of most sRNAs during MRSA host infection remains unknown. To fill this gap, in collaboration with the lab of Jai Tree, we performed comprehensive RNA-RNA interactome analyses in MRSA using CLASH under conditions that mimic the host environment. Here we present a detailed version of this optimized CLASH (cross-linking, ligation, and sequencing of hybrids) protocol we recently developed, which has been tailored to explore the RNA interactome in S. aureus as well as other Gram-positive bacteria. Alongside, we introduce a compilation of helpful Python functions for analyzing folding energies of putative RNA-RNA interactions and streamlining sRNA and mRNA seed discovery in CLASH data. In the accompanying computational demonstration, we aim to establish a standardized strategy to evaluate the likelihood that observed chimeras arise from true RNA-RNA interactions.

    Abstract RNA-binding proteins are important for core cellular processes such as mRNA transcription, splicing, transport, translation, and degradation. Recently, hundreds of novel RNA-binders have been identified in vivo in various organisms and cell types. We discuss the RNA interactome capture technique which enabled this boost in identifying new RNA-binding proteins in eukaryotes. A focus of this chapter, however, is the presentation of different challenges and problems that need to be addressed to be able to understand the conserved mRNA-bound proteomes from yeast to man.

    Abstract Dynamic RNA-protein interactions govern the co-transcriptional packaging of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-derived transcripts. Yet, our current understanding of this process in vivo primarily stems from steady state analysis. To remedy this, we here conduct temporal-iCLIP (tiCLIP), combining RNAPII transcriptional synchronisation with UV cross-linking of RNA-protein complexes at serial timepoints. We apply tiCLIP to the RNA export adaptor, ALYREF; a component of the Nuclear Exosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, RBM7; and the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC). Regardless of function, all tested factors interact with nascent RNA as it exits RNAPII. Moreover, we demonstrate that the two transesterification steps of pre-mRNA splicing temporally separate ALYREF and RBM7 binding to splicing intermediates, and that exon-exon junction density drives RNA 5'end binding of ALYREF. Finally, we identify underappreciated steps in snoRNA 3'end processing performed by RBM7. Altogether, our data provide a temporal view of RNA-protein interactions during the early phases of transcription.

    Abstract Advancing RNA structural probing techniques with next-generation sequencing has generated demands for complementary computational tools to robustly extract RNA structural information amidst sampling noise and variability. We present diffBUM-HMM, a noise-aware model that enables accurate detection of RNA flexibility and conformational changes from high-throughput RNA structure-probing data. diffBUM-HMM is widely compatible, accounting for sampling variation and sequence coverage biases, and displays higher sensitivity than existing methods while robust against false positives. Our analyses of datasets generated with a variety of RNA probing chemistries demonstrate the value of diffBUM-HMM for quantitatively detecting RNA structural changes and RNA-binding protein binding sites.

    Abstract Previous high-throughput studies in Gram-negative bacteria identified a large number of 3ʹUTR fragments that potentially function as sRNAs. Here we extensively characterize the MalH sRNA. We show that MalH is a stable degradation intermediate derived from the 3ʹ end of malG, which is part of the maltose uptake operon transcript malEFG. Unlike the majority of bacterial sRNAs, MalH is transiently expressed during the transition from the exponential to the stationary growth phase, suggesting that it contributes to adaptation to changes in nutrient availability. Over-expression of MalH reduces expression of general outer membrane porins and MicA, a repressor of the high-affinity maltose/maltodextrin transporter LamB. Disrupting MalH production and function significantly reduces lamB accumulation when maltose is the only available carbon source, presumably due to the accumulation of the MicA repressor. We propose that MalH is part of a regulatory network that, during the transition phase, directly or indirectly promotes accumulation of high-affinity maltose transporters in the outer membrane by dampening competing pathways.
