In this study, we developed a correlative approach that combined DNA immunoprecipitation-seq and RNA-seq analyses to define the regulon of the transcription factor Euo. We confirmed the proposed role of Euo as a transcriptional repressor of late chlamydial genes but also showed that Euo activates transcription of a subset of midcycle genes and autoregulates its own expression via negative feedback. This study validates and expands the role of Euo as an important developmental regulator in . In addition, this genome-wide correlative approach can be applied to study transcription factors in other pathogenic bacteria.
在这项研究中,我们开发了一种关联方法,将 DNA 免疫沉淀测序和 RNA 测序分析相结合,以定义转录因子 Euo 的调控组。我们证实了 Euo 作为晚期衣原体基因转录抑制剂的作用,但也表明 Euo 激活了一组中期周期基因的转录,并通过负反馈自我调节其表达。这项研究验证并扩展了 Euo 在 中的重要发育调控因子的作用。此外,这种全基因组关联方法可应用于研究其他致病菌中的转录因子。
