Transcriptional analysis of quorum sensing deficient in Yersinia pestis CO92 at 37M-BM-0C


ABSTRACT: Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague, is able to sense cell density by quorum sensing. The function of quorum sensing in Y. pestis is not clear. Here, the process of quorum sensing was investigated by comparing transcript profiles when three quorum-sensing synthase genes are knocked out. Two strains, M-bM-^HM-^Fpgm (pigmentation-negative) mutant R88 as treatment and quorum sensing null strain R115 with mutations (M-bM-^HM-^Fpgm, M-bM-^HM-^FypeIR, M-bM-^HM-^FyspIR, and M-bM-^HM-^FluxS) as control, are used in this analysis. Six independent RNA samples from R115 cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from R88 cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. A dye-swap design was used to remove the Cy5 and Cy3 dye bias.

The autoinducer-2 (AI-2) quorum-sensing system has been linked to diverse phenotypes and regulatory changes in pathogenic bacteria. In the present study, we performed a molecular and biochemical characterization of the AI-2 system in Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. In strain CO92, the AI-2 signal is produced in a luxS-dependent manner, reaching maximal levels of 2.5 μM in the late logarithmic growth phase, and both wild-type and pigmentation (pgm) mutant strains made equivalent l  ...[more]
