We found that disruption of A. baumannii ribonuclease T2 family protein (ATCC 17978 locus A1S_3026) severely diminishes the organism's ability to colonize abiotic surfaces. We used Affymetrix A. baumannii GeneChips (part number PMDACBA1) to compare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic ribonuclease T2 family protein mutant cells. A. baumanni strain 98-37-09 (wild type) or isogenic ACJ7 (harboring a EZ-Tn5 insertion in A1S_3026) cells were grown to mid-exponential phase growth in Luria Burtani medium, total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the regulatory effects of A1S_3026.

ID_REF = VALUE = Signal ABS_CALL = indicating whether the transcript was present (P), absent (A), or marginal (M) DETECTION P-VALUE = cDNA was synthesized, fragmented and biotinylated according to the manufacturer's protocol for prokaryotic antisense labeling (Affymetrix) 1.5 ug of cDNA were hybrized for 16 hr at 45C on an A. baumannii Affymetrix GeneChip. GeneChips were washed and stained in an Affymetrix Fluidics Station using ProKaryotic GE-wash2 protocol. Once reaching mid exponential phase 1:1 acetone-ethanol was added to inhibit cellular ribonucleases Cells were grown to mid-exponential phase (Optical Density 600nm of 0.4-0.5) in LB broth at 37C with aeration (225 rpm in a rotary shaker) Total bacterial RNA was isolated using Rneasy kits according to the manufacturer's recommendations (Qiagen) GeneChips were scanned in an Affymetrix 7G GeneArray Scanner Protocol Type normalization data transformation protocol labelling protocol hybridization protocol sample treatment protocol growth protocol nucleic acid extraction protocol array scanning protocol Experimental Factor Name GENOTYPE Experimental Factor Type genotype Comment[SecondaryAccession] GSE52002 Comment[GEOReleaseDate] 2014-01-01 Comment[ArrayExpressSubmissionDate] 2013-11-01 Comment[GEOLastUpdateDate] 2014-01-02 Comment[AEExperimentType] transcription profiling by array SDRF File E-GEOD-52002.sdrf.txt
