An Optimized Method for Reconstruction of Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Bacteria Using ChIP-exo and RNA-seq Datasets
Transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) in bacteria are crucial for elucidating the mechanisms that regulate gene expression and cellular responses to environmental stimuli. These networks delineate the interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and their target genes, thereby uncovering the regulatory processes that modulate gene expression under varying environmental conditions. Analyzing TRNs offers valuable insights into bacterial adaptation, stress responses, and metabolic optimization from an evolutionary standpoint. Additionally, understanding TRNs can drive the development of novel antimicrobial therapies and the engineering of microbial strains for biofuel and bioproduct production. This protocol integrates advanced data analysis pipelines, including ChEAP, DEOCSU, and DESeq2, to analyze omics datasets that encompass genome-wide TF binding sites and transcriptome profiles derived from ChIP-exo and RNA-seq experiments. This approach minimizes both the time required and the risk of bias, making it accessible to non-expert users. Key steps in the protocol include preprocessing and peak calling from ChIP-exo data, differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data, and motif and regulon analysis. This method offers a comprehensive and efficient framework for TRN reconstruction across various bacterial strains, enhancing both the accuracy and reliability of the analysis while providing valuable insights for basic and applied research.
