Major Scientific Interests
  • Physiological proteomics of Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis is regarded not only as a model organism of Gram positive bacteria but also of functional genomics. Its genome sequence, however, published in 1997 (Kunst et al. 1997) only provides its “blue-print of life”, now functional genomics (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc.) is required to bring this genome sequence to cell physiology. The role of proteomics to transfer the “virtual life of the genes to the real life of the proteins” as the main players of life is the main topic of our research program. Proteomes of growing and non-growing cells will provide global information on the regulation of metabolic pathways or on the stress and starvation responses. Stress/starvation proteomic signatures are valuable tools for the prediction of the physiological state of cells or for the prediction of the action mechanisms of unknown drugs.

  • Stress response of Bacillus subtilis: The σB-dependent general stress response

The induction of the σB-dependent stress proteins is one of the most obvious changes in the protein synthesis profile in response to stress and starvation. About 150 genes belong to this σB-dependent general stress regulon. These proteins provide the non-growing B. subtilis cell with a multiple, non-specific and preventive stress resistance in anticipation of “future stress”. The function of the single stress protein in the establishment of a global resistance against heat, ethanol, oxidative, cold, acid, and osmotic stress is currently analysed. Furthermore, the integration of the general stress regulon into a highly sophisticated adaptational network is under study.
