Fig. R.5.25: Purine biosynthesis pathway and gene expression.<br />
Pathway reactions and gene LocusTags were extracted from omics-viewer(s) <strong>of</strong> BIOCYC (BIOCYC, SRI International, CA, USA,<br />
http://biocyc.org/expression.html). Arrows represent reactions and dots substrates/products when these are not specially named.<br />
Numbers next to enzyme reactions will result in the LocusTag <strong>of</strong> the gene when combined with “SAOUHSC_*” instead <strong>of</strong> the wildcard<br />
character. Bar charts indicate fold change values <strong>of</strong> internalized samples in reference to the baseline sample <strong>of</strong> 1 h serum/CO 2 control.<br />
Values for the 2.5 h internalized samples are depicted in light gray (first column) and those <strong>of</strong> the 6.5 h internalized samples in dark<br />
gray (second column).<br />
A third analysis <strong>of</strong> metabolic gene expression involved the KEGG pathway maps (KEGG: Kyoto<br />
Encyclopedia <strong>of</strong> Genes and Genomes). Already BIOCYC pathway mapping had revealed changes in<br />
amino acid biosynthesis and glycolysis. Corresponding pathways and additionally pathways <strong>of</strong><br />
TCA and urea cycle were selected in KEGG specific for S. aureus NCTC8325. The strain’s genes,<br />
which were mapped <strong>by</strong> KEGG to the pathways, were extracted and checked for differential<br />
expression in at least one time point after internalization in S9 cells. The biosynthesis pathways<br />
for asparagine, histidine, glutamine, serine, tryptophan, leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, and<br />
threonine were induced to a large extent (Fig. R.5.26). A fraction <strong>of</strong> associated genes were not<br />
included in the lists <strong>of</strong> differentially expressed genes. A further analysis <strong>of</strong> these genes identified<br />
some <strong>of</strong> them to be either significant in statistical testing without passing the minimal absolute<br />
fold change cut<strong>of</strong>f or to pass that cut<strong>of</strong>f without reaching statistical significance. These<br />
expression changes were rated as trend, which in many cases further confirmed the findings <strong>of</strong><br />
expression changes in the metabolic pathways. In addition to induced expression <strong>of</strong> amino acid<br />
biosynthesis genes, induction <strong>of</strong> four TCA cycle enzyme genes was observed, which was even<br />
more substantiated <strong>by</strong> a trend <strong>of</strong> increase for further four genes. Contrarily, especially genes<br />
encoding enzymes <strong>of</strong> irreversible glycolysis reactions were repressed. Finally, genes coding for<br />
enzymes <strong>of</strong> anabolic reactions during gluconeogenesis were induced in internalized<br />
staphylococci. Using energy, their gene products reverse the reactions whose equilibrium is<br />
normally set to the side <strong>of</strong> glucose degradation products.<br />
Repressed tRNA synthetase gene expression has already been mentioned before. The<br />
synthetase genes for tyrosine, leucine, threonine, phenylalanine, serine, aspartate, and histidine<br />
(tyrS, leuS, thrS, pheS, pheT, serS, aspS, hisS) were repressed in at least one time point <strong>of</strong><br />
internalization, many <strong>of</strong> them even in both (Fig. R.5.27 A). Further genes (ileS, alaS, metS, asnS,<br />
gltX, trpS) exhibited a trend <strong>of</strong> repression in at least one time point <strong>of</strong> internalization with<br />
p* < 0.05, but an absolute fold change <strong>of</strong> less than 2 (Fig. R.5.27 B). Three genes (valS, glyS, cysS)<br />
behaved contrarily and possessed a trend <strong>of</strong> induction in one time point <strong>of</strong> internalization<br />
(Fig. R.5.27 C). Finally, the remaining three tRNA synthetase genes (argS, proS, lysS) showed no<br />
change in expression (Fig. R.5.27 D).<br />
