Small bubbles had accumulated along the edges of all 4 strips, despite allowing strips and reagents to warm to RT before loading the cassette. Cassette was tapped vigorously to try to get bubbles out, but wasn't successful.
IEF was performed on the 4 strips from yesterday with the following parameters:
250V - 20 mins.
450V - 15 mins.
750V - 15 mins.
2000V - 60 mins.
The run looked decent. Got some "rippling" at the "-" end of the strip towards the end of the run, but that has been the norm at this pont.
Strips were washed with 10mL reducing buffer for 15mins and then 10mL of alkylating buffer for 15mins. Strips were transferred to ZOOM 4-20% tris-glycine gels and overlayed with 0.5% agarose solution made with tris-glycine buffer. Gels were run @ 125V for ~2.5 hrs until dye front had reached the end of the gels.
NOTE: Samples #1 and #2 were accidentally not connected properly to the power supply (lid was on wrong) and did not receive any current for ~1hr. Lid was adjusted and the gel was run out. Looked normal.
Gels were stained by Tatyana using the fast protocol and then stored O/N @ 4C.

Notes: In gels #3 and #4 it looks like the ladder leaked over into the sample well as can be seen by the horizontal streaking that comes from each band of the ladder.

IEF was performed on strips from yesterday with the following parameters:
250V - 20 mins.
450V - 15 mins.
750V - 15 mins.
2000V - 60 mins.
Casette (with strips) was stored @ -80C.
Notes: Casette was repeatedly tapped to dislodge tiny airbubbles that had accumulated O/N before focusing. Run looked pretty good. Some very slight bubbling towards the "-" end of the strips.
NOTE: Strips discarded 12/17/2010 as part of lab clean up. -

Because 1/3 and 1/10 volumes are so small, I decided to make a dilution of the original samples and then used diluted samples.
Concentration of the original samples:
Anoxic 6 hours---685 microg/mL
Aerobic 6 hours ----935 microg/mL
Dilution were made in the following way:
1. Anoxic 6 hours sample:
2 microL of anoxic sample was mixed with 8 microL of H2O. Using C1V1= C2V2 formular I calculated concentration of the diluted sample:
C of the original anoxic sample = 685 microg/mL
V original = 2 microL
V final = 10 microL
685 microg/ mL * 2 microL = C * 10 microL
C = 137 microg/mL
2. Aerobic 6 hours sample:
2 microL of aerobic sample was mixed with 10 microL of H2O. Using C1V1= C2V2 formular I calculated concentration of the diluted sample:
C of the original aerobic sample = 935 microg/mL
V of the original sample = 2 microL
V of the final sample = 12 microL
935 microg/ mL * 2 microL = C * 12 microL
C = 156 microg/ mL
Calculation of the amount of protein required for 1/3 and 1/10 samples:
1. 1/3 Anoxic 6 hours:
V= 0.916666 microL
C=685 microg/mL
Amount required= 0.916666 microL*685 microg/mL * 1 mL/1000 microL = 0.627916 microg
Volume of the diluted sample reuired = 0.627616 microg / 137 microg/ mL * 10^3 microL/ 1 mL = 4.6 microL
2. 1/10 Anoxic 6 hours:
V = 0.275 microL
Amount of the protein required = 0.275 microL * 685 microg/mL * 1 mL/ 1000 microL = 0.188 microg
Volume of the diluted sample required = 0.188 microg / 137 microg/ mL * 10^ 3 microL/ 1mL = 1.4 microL
3. 1/3 Aerobic 6 hours:
V =0.666666 microL
C = 935 microg/mL
Amount of the protein required = 935 microg/ mL * 0.666666 microL * 1 mL/ 1000 microg = 0.6233 microg
Volume of the diluted sample required = 0.6233 microg / 156 microg/ mL * 10^3 microL/ 1 mL = 4 micro L
4. 1/10 Aerobic 6 hours:
V = 0.2 microL
C = 935 microg/mL
Amoutn of the protein required = 935 microg/mL * 0.2 microL * 1 ml/1000 microL = 0.187 microg
Volume of the diluted sample required = 0.187 microg / 156 microg/mL * 10^3 microL/ 1 mL = 1. 2 microL

IEF was performed on the 4 strips from yesterday with the following parameters:
250V - 20 mins.
450V - 15 mins.
750V - 15 mins.
2000V - 60 mins.
Notes: Dye front looked good initially, but then seem to disperse as focusing went on. Possibly bubbling of the gels on the strips.
Strips were incubated with 10mL of sample reducing buffer for 15mins. w/shaking and then 10mL of sample alkylation buffer for 15mins. w/shaking.
Strips were removed (NOTE: Strip #1 still had the protective cover on it. Don't know how this will affect the sample.) and loaded into Invitrogen ZOOM 4-20% tris-glycine gels with the '+' end of the trips closest to the ladder. Strips were covered with 400uL 0.5% agarose (made with 1X tris-glycine running buffer) . Agarose was allowed to solidify for 10mins. 10uL of SeeBlue ladder was loaded into ladder lane. Gels were run 125V for ~2hrs.

we need 15 microg, so 15 *1000/685 = 21. 9 microL of the sample should be used.
2. Aerobic sample:
C= 935 microg/mL
we need 15 microg, so 15*1000/935 = 16 microL of the sample should be used.
3. Desalten vt + oysters
C = 2.303 microg/ microL
we need 15 microg, so V = 15/2.303 = 6.51 microL
4.desalted vt +H2O sample
C = 1.186 microg/ microL
we need 15 microg, so V =15/ 1.186 = 12.65 microL

2D Gels - V.tubi anoxic 6hr vs. aerobic 6hr
IEF focusing was performed on all 6 strips from yesterday.
250V - 20 mins.
450V - 15 mins.
750V - 15 mins.
2000V - 60 mins.
NOTE: IEF stips looked gnarly; very uneven and not smooth like they normally appear after a good run.
Anoxic 6hr and aerobic 6hr samples were prepped and run on Invitrogen tris-glycine SDS/PAGE gels according to Invitrogen protocol. "Plus" side of strips are closest to the ladder. However, SDS/PAGE gels ran for a total time of 2hrs and 10mins for dye front to run to end of gel. All other samples were stored at -80C.
Vt Anoxia 6hrs.
Vt Aerobic 6hrs.
Results: Both gels seem to suffer from protein overload. This is supported by the large number of "halos" (reverse-stained spots) on both gels, particularly the Aerobic samples, which most certainly had more protein, despite the quantitation results. The horizontal streaking is also an indicator of protein levels being too high. Samples will be quantitated again to reassess protein amounts.

Volume of all samples was adjusted to 15 microL by adding H2O
Rehydrating buffer
1. Zoom 2D protein solubilizer 128 microL
2. DTT 0.000239g
3. Ampholyte 0.8 microL
4. Bromophenol Blue 0.5 microL
5. H2O 10.7 microL
6.Lysate 15 microL
Total volume is 155 microL
DTT Calculation:
We need 0.7 microL of 2M DTT solution:
C1V1=C2V2
C1= 2M-from the protocol
V1=0.7 microL-- from the protocol
C2= concentration of DTT in 140 microL
V1=140 microL
2M*0.7 microL = C2 * 140 microL
C2 = 0.01 M
We know that formular weight of the DTT is 154.2 g ---from the lable, so taking into consideration that M is the same thing as mole/L, and that our final volume is 155 miroL, we have:
0.01 mole/L*154.2 g/mole*1L/1000000microL *155 microL = 0.000239 g of DTT is required.
Master mix:
1. Zoom 2D protein solubilizer =128 microL * 6.5 = 832 microL
2. DTT =0.000239g * 6.5 = 0.0016 g
3. Ampholyte = 0.8 microL * 6.5 = 5.2 microL
4. Bromophenol Blue = 0.5 microL * 6.5 = 3.25 microL
5. H2O =10.7 microL * 6.5 = 69. 55 microL
6.Lysate = 15 microL * 6.5 = 97.5 microL
Total volume is = 155 microL * 6.5 = 1007.5 microL
Procedure:
1. 144 microL of rehydrating buffer was added to each sample to bring total volume to 155microL.
2.155microL of the sample was loaded into sample loading well, add strips with gel side up ( follow protocol on pages 22-23 of ZoomIPRunnerSystem manual)
Strips were incubated at the RT overnight.

Summery of the Exposure Experiment
This experiment was designed to examine the growth of the Vibrio tubiashii bacteria exposed to different treatments. Four tanks were set up at the room temperature. Three tanks received 4.435 X 10^11 Vibrio tubiashii bacteria (32ml bacteria/tank). Each tank was randomely allocated among three different treatment: tank 1 had sterile water, tank 2 had alive oysters and sea water, tank 3 had autoclaved oysters and sterile water. Fourth tank was set up as a control and contained alive oysters in sea water WITHOUT Vibrio tubiashii bacteria. Two 1 ml samples were taken from each tank for RNA/Protein analysis. Samples were drawn at the following time intervals: 0, 2 hours, 4 hours, 21 hours and 24 hours.

Description of pH experiment
This experiment is designed to check responses of V. tubiashii to different pH values. 1 ml of V. tubiashii bacteria (C=1.386x10^10 bac/ml) was added to 19 mL of either marine broth or sea H2O of different pH.
Three different pH values were tested for marine broth and sea H2O. Initial pH of the marine broth and sea H2O was measure and gave the values of 7.62 and 8.57 respectively. 0.1 N HCl was used to decrease pH by approximately one unit and 0.1 NaOH was used to increase pH by 1 unit.
Thus, 1 ml of V. tubiashii was added in the tubes containing either marine broth or sea H2O with the following pH:

|
351.01 ng/ ul
|
4. V. tubiashii without foot - tube 2
|
251. 81 ng/ ul
|
I diluted all the sample to get concentration to the 150 ng/ ul and then did spectr. analysis one more time. Here is the values that I got:
1. V.Tubiashii +foot-1st tube
|
139 ng/ ul

The underlying premise is that we need to know more about the basic physiology of Vt in order to develop measures to protect shellfish resources.
One means by which to do this is to look at differences in gene expression under different conditions. Conditions, being for example, alterations in: temperature, salinity, oxygen, host tissue. What genes are important to look at? Conventional comparative gene fishing techniques are not good options as most depend on polyA regions. Several genes have been identified including several that are implicated in virulence. To date there are
31 nucleotide entries in NCBI for Vt. These are obvious choices, however if samples are from sources where other Vibrios are present, effort has to be made to insure the lack of cross-reactivity with other organisms.
A second avenue would be to take a comparative approach using the complete genome sequence from V parahemolyticus and V vulnificus. Several tools are available for this including
whole genome comparison where homologus genes are identified. This and other similar data can be found on the genome project page (
example). For this approach you are basically flying blind not sure if 1) the gene is relavant or 2) if there is sufficient homology.
The techniques discussed so far are "old-fashion" PCR based. Another option would be to once again exploit the other Vibrios, but use a micro array platform, again relying on the assumption there is sufficient homology. Relative comparisons should be simple however.
Protein expression is another viable route. More on that later..

SAFS Seed Proposal:
Development of tools to monitor and predict outbreaks of Vibrio tubiashii
Carolyn Friedman and Steven Roberts
Current state of knowledge
Background Oyster production is important to the US both economically and socially. Pacific Crassostrea gigas
and eastern C. virginica
oysters are the two key culture species within the US with production of Pacific oysters estimated at 89,323,000 lbs (40,601 tonnes) in 2004 and eastern oysters at ~4,000 tonnes (WRAC, 2004; FAO 2006). Washington state produced a majority (~87% or 77,000,000 lbs) of US Pacific oysters and California produces most of the remaining Pacific oysters (7,000,000 lbs). In addition to harvest-sized product, 35 million Pacific oyster seed were produced in 1995 (WRAC 2004) and production has increased since that time.
Oyster Mortality Losses of oysters associated with disease has increased over the past few decades with expansion of known disease agents (such as MSX and Dermo; Fig. 1B) and the introduction of emerging diseases such as that caused by the oyster herpes virus (OsHV) and Vibrio tubiashii
. The impact of diseases on wild and cultured oysters is considered a leading impediment to the oyster industry within the US and subsequently affecting the health of some of key estuaries such as the Chesapeake Bay (Andrews 1988, Burreson et al. 1996, Ragone Calvo et al. 2003). Economic impacts of diseases have hampered the sustainability of oyster culture in several US areas including the mid-Atlantic, Gulf and west coasts. Locally, the hatcheries along the west cost of the US have been impacted by vibriosis (disease caused by members of the genus Vibrio,
including V. tubiashii
) resulting in a lack of seed for many farms and partial closure of at least one hatchery (Jonathan Davis, pers. comm.). In fact, vibriosis caused by a variety of members of the genus Vibrio
are pathogenic to a wide variety of marine invertebrates. Although larvae are most commonly affected, adult shellfish may also be susceptible (e.g. mature abalone in France (Nichols et al. 2002) and manila clams in Europe (see Paillard 2004)
Vibriosis (also called bacillary necrosis) was first described by Tubiash et al. in 1965 and was characterized by swarming of bacteria in and around oyster larvae, which stopped swimming, had empty guts and experienced high losses. This disease bacillary necrosis was further described by Brown (1973) who suspected the involvement of a toxin due to the rapid mortality of oyster larvae within 18 h of exposure. Two major toxins have been described in association with bacillary necrosis, one degrades connective tissues and the second is heat stable and ciliostatic, resulting in cessation of swimming (Nottage et al. 1989). Different host species are know to have varying degrees of susceptibility to specific strains of Vibrio
; when challenged with V. alginolyticus
scallops and pen shells were more susceptible than were Pacific oysters (Luna-Gonzalez et al. 2002). Recently, V. tubiashii
has reemerged as a deadly oyster pathogen along the Pacific coast of the US. Current diagnosis is dependent upon culture methods (Elston et al., pers. comm.). Creating molecular diagnostic methods to complement current culture methods will enhance the capability of diagnosing this pathogen and will also enable the application of these tools to research questions. Recently, Hasegawa (2008) demonstrated that an extracellular metalloprotease is an important virulence factor this this bacterium. Such as gene would be an ideal target for a molecular test. Furthermore, developing techniques to assess how changes in the the environment influence V. tubiashii
physiology will assist in predicting outbreaks and improving hatchery operating practices.
The specific objectives of the current proposal are to 1) develop an improved diagnostic assay to detect V. tubiashii
and 2) develop gene expression assays to be to assess how environmental factors influence pathogen physiology.
Methods
We propose to develop conventional and real-time PCR tests for V. tubiashii
. The 16S rDNA gene and metalloprotease genes of all V. tubiashi
strains and representative related bacteria in GenBank will be aligned using ClustalW. We will select primers (using Primer 3 software) unique to our target bacterium and may also select primers general to this genus for later use to better understand bloom dynamics and relative concentrations for disease development. Primers will be tested using established methods (e.g. Vadopalas et al. 2005, Lyons et al. 2006). We will establish analytical and, as possible, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity according to methods outlined by OIE (2007). We will compare the molecular test to established culture methods currently employed using pure bacterial cultures as well as samples from local hatcheries and seed sources (e.g. Taylor Resources and Hog Island Oyster Company).
In order to determine the abiotic and biotic effects on V. tubiashi
physiology related to growth rates, change in behavior (eg swarmiing), and virulence, real-time quantitative RT-PCR assays will be developed that will target expressed genes. Potential targets for the assay include genes associated with general metabolism (dsdA, Makino et al. 2003), adaptation to environmental stress (rpoS (alternate sigma factor of RNA polymerase) Vasudevan and Venkitanarayanan 2006, Coutard et al. 2007), lateral flagella synthesis (lafK, Merino et al. 2006), quorum sensing and virulence (opaR (luxR homolog) Henke and Bassler 2004), virulence (vtpA / vtpB, Hasegawa et al 2008; toxR Beaubrun et al 2008; tdh2, Coutard et al. 2007; spa24 (component of TTSS system), Coutard et al. 2007). RT-PCR reactions will be carried and analyzed as described above except RNA will be the template. Once assays have been developed and validated laboratory based experiments will be carried out to determine how factors such as temperature and salinity influence expression of certain genes. This will in turn give us information on how the physiology of the pathogen is altered under changing conditions.
Application for future
This research will provide important tools and preliminary data to garner future funds from Washington Sea Grant and/or the National Science Foundation (e.g. Ecology of Infectious Disease rfp). Without preliminary data and ready tools, obtaining funds and helping understand the disease dynamics will not be possible. In addition, the success of our west coast bivalve mollusc industry depends on being able to manage this bacterium. Having a reliable, rapid test as well as information on how environmental factors influence physiology will benefit the industry and researchers. In addition, V. tubiashi
has also emerged in France (T. Renault, IFREMER, and S. Huchette, France Haliotis, pers. comm.), which will provide international collaborative opportunities.
