Abstract
BACKGROUND: The comprehension of genome organization and gene modulation is essential for understanding pathogens' infection mechanisms. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 7448 genome is organized in transcriptional units (TUs), which are flanked by regulatory elements such as putative promoters, terminators and repetitive sequences. Yet the relationship between the presence of these elements and bacterial responses during stress conditions remains unclear. Thus, in this study, in silico and RT-qPCR analyses were associated to determine the effect of regulatory elements in gene expression regulation upon heat shock and oxidative stress conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirteen TU's organizational profiles were found based on promoters and terminators distribution. Differential expression in genes sharing the same TUs was observed, suggesting the activity of internal regulatory elements. Moreover, 88.8% of tested genes were differentially expressed under oxidative stress in comparison to the control condition, being 81.3% of them surrounded by their own regulatory elements. Similarly, under heat shock, 44.4% of the genes showed regulation when compared to control condition, being 75.0% of them surrounded by their own regulatory elements. CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, this data suggests the activity of internal regulatory elements in gene modulation of M. hyopneumoniae 7448 transcription.
