Transcriptional changes associated to resistance to the cell wall active bacteriocin Lcn972

ABSTRACT: Lcn972 is a non-modified bacteriocin that targets exclusively Lactococcus sp. Addition of Lcn972 inhibits cell wall biosynthesis at the septum by binding to the cell wall precursor lipid II. Resistance to Lcn972 develops upon selection with subinhibitory concentrations. The transcriptome of the highly resistant L. lactis D1 derived from the susceptible strain L. lactis MG1614 was compared. Fourteen genes were significantly up-regulated and 29 were down-regulated (expression change > 2-fold, p<0.001). Down-regulation was mostly found in sugar catabolic genes. Up-regulated genes included members of the cell envelope stress (CesR) regulon, the penicillin-binding protein pbpX and llmg2447, which may encode a putative extracytoplasmic function (ECF) anti-sigma factor located downstream of a non-functional ECF-sigX. Up-regulation of llmg2447 was linked to integration of IS981 that exchanged the -35 promoter region of llmg2447. Over-expression of llmg2447 resulted in highly Lcn972-resistant L. lactis transformants. The transcriptomes of Lactococcus lactis MG1614 susceptible to Lcn972 and L. lactis D1 resistant to Lcn972, grown under laboratory conditions, were compared using four biological replicates.

Lactococcin 972 (Lcn972) is a cell wall-active bacteriocin that inhibits cell wall biosynthesis in Lactococcus lactis. In this work, the transcriptomes of the Lcn972-resistant (Lcn(r)) mutant L. lactis D1 and its parent strain were compared to identify factors involved in Lcn972 resistance. Upregulated genes included members of the cell envelope stress (CesSR) regulon, the penicillin-binding protein pbpX gene and gene llmg2447, which may encode a putative extracytoplasmic function (ECF) anti-sig ...[more]

Project description:Amino acid assimilation and metabolism are crucial for bacterial growth and survival and this is particularly obvious for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that are generally auxotroph for various amino acids. However, amino acid assimilation is poorly characterized and a complete description of the response during amino acid starvation is still lacking in LAB. In this context, the global response of the LAB model Lactococcus lactis was characterized during isoleucine starvation in batch culture. The stress was imposed by isoleucine natural consumption in an initially rich chemically defined medium. Dynamic analyses were performed both using transcriptomic and proteomic approaches. The response was found to occur gradually and could be divided into three major parts that were firstly deduced from transcriptomic analysis and generally corroborated by proteomic results: (i) a global repression of biogenic processes (transcription, translation, and carbon metabolism and transport), (ii) a specific response related to the limiting nutrient (numerous pathways belonging to carbon or nitrogen metabolism and leading to isoleucine supply were activated) and (iii) an additional response connected to oxidative stress (induction of aerobic metabolism, electron transport, thioredoxin metabolism and pyruvate dehydrogenase). The involvement of various regulatory mechanisms such as growth rate regulation, stringent response, CodY, GlnR, and CcpA regulations, was discussed on the basis of transcriptomic data comparisons. Above the full description of L. lactis isoleucine starvation response, this work additionally provided a complex but realistic outlook of the regulation network involved in isoleucine starvation. Such integrated and comparative approach will allow, by its implementation to other regulations and environmental conditions, the whole regulatory network of L. lactis or any other microorganism to be deciphered. Batch cultivation of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 were carried out on a chemically defined medium and under controlled conditions (30 °C, pH 6.6, nitrogen atmosphere). Cell samples were harvested at steady state. Total RNA was extracted from these samples and radiolabelled cDNA were prepared and hybridized on nylon arrays. 1948 amplicons specific of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 genes were spotted twice on the array. Samples corresponding to various growth rates were analyzed simultaneously and 3 independent repetitions were performed.
