The Condition-Dependent Transcriptional Landscape of Burkholderia pseudomallei

ABSTRACT: Bacterial transcriptomes are dynamic, context-specific and condition-dependent. Infection by the soil bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, causes melioidosis, an often fatal infectious disease of humans and animals. Possessing a large multi-chromosomal genome, B. pseudomallei is able to persist and survive in a multitude of environments. To obtain a comprehensive overview of B. pseudomallei expressed transcripts, we initiated whole-genome transcriptome profiling covering a broad spectrum of conditions and exposures M-bM-^@M-^S a so-called M-bM-^@M-^\condition compendiumM-bM-^@M-^]. Using the compendium, we confirmed many previously-annotated genes and operons, and also identified hundreds of novel transcripts including anti-sense transcripts and non-coding RNAs. By systematically examining genes exhibiting highly similar expression patterns, we ascribed putative functions to previously uncharacterized genes, and identified novel regulatory elements controlling these expression patterns. We also used the compendium to elucidate candidate virulence pathways associated with quorum-sensing and infection in mice. Our study showcases the power of a B. pseudomallei condition compendium as a valuable resource for understanding microbial physiology and the pathogenesis of melioidosis. The transcriptome profiles of Bp exposed to 82 conditions were captured using a custom-designed tiling microarray and compiled into a compendium revealing novel genomic features and co-expression network.

Role of ppiB in burkholderia pseudomallei

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis a disease endemic in South-East Asia and Northern Australia. The mortality rates in these areas are unacceptably high even with antibiotic treatment, attributed to intrinsic and acquired resistance of B. pseudomallei to antibiotics. With very few options for therapeutics there is an urgent requirement to identify anti-bacterial targets for the development of novel, effective treatments. In this study we examine the role and effect of ppiB on the proteome. Using LFQ analysis we show loss of ppiB has dramatic effect on the Burkholderia pseudomallei proteome.

Infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei – immune correlates of survival in acute melioidosis

Project description:Melioidosis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. It is widespread in Southeast Asia and under-reported across tropical regions worldwide. Patients present with a range of clinical syndromes including sepsis, pneumonia and focal abscesses, with a mortality rate of 40% in hospitalized patients in Thailand. Up to two-thirds of patients with melioidosis have diabetes mellitus. In this experiment we sought to characterize pathways activated by whole killed B. pseudomallei bacteria and by three vaccine candidate proteins from B. pseudomallei, BPSL2520 (uncharacterized protein), BPSS1525 (BopE) and BPSL2096 (AhpC) in patients with diabetes and acute melioidosis.

Comparative transcriptomics of Burkholderia pseudomallei from soil media and infected host

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei can adapt to and thrive in a variety of environments, including soil and water, and also can infect different hosts, including humans, leading to the tropical disease melioidosis. Modulation of gene and protein expression is one of this pathogen's adaptive survival mechanisms, which could lead to changes in the bacteria's cell membrane, metabolism, and virulence. To better understand bacterial adaptation and host-pathogen interactions, this study compared the expression profiles of B. pseudomallei from infected mice to B. pseudomallei cultivated in soil extract media. B. pseudomallei in vivo was created by infecting mice through the intraperitoneal route and harvesting the spleens on day 5 post infection. Total RNA was isolated and sequenced from the harvested spleen. Sequence reads were mapped to the B. pseudomallei UKMD286 strain genome sequence.

Genomic Acquisition of Virulence Factors in Natural Isolates of Burkholderia

Project description:An important, but rarely performed, test of Koch’s molecular postulates involves evaluating the capacity of candidate virulence genes to confer pathogenicity in otherwise non-virulent species. Unbiased genomic surveys of avirulent natural isolates might reveal rare variants possessing specific virulence features, which might prove useful in testing their functional sufficiency. Using a custom pan-genome array, we analyzed a panel of avirulent Burkholderia thailandensis (Bt) isolates related to Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the causative agent of the often fatal human and animal disease melioidosis. We report the discovery of variant Bt isolates exhibiting isolated acquisition of a capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis gene cluster (BpCPS), long regarded as an critical species-specific virulence factor essential for Bp mammalian virulence. BpCPS-expressing Bt strains exhibited certain pathogen-related phenotypes including resistance to human complement binding, but did not exhibit enhanced virulence when assessed in two different in vivo animal infection models. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the BpCPS-expressing Bt strains likely reside within an evolutionary subgroup distinct from the majority of previously-described Bt strains. Our findings suggest that BpCPS acquisition alone is unlikely to fully explain the ability of Bp to colonize humans and animals, highlighting the importance of other collaborating factors in the pathogenesis of mammalian melioidosis. Genomic DNA of several Bt strains were hybridized against a common reference strain (Bt E264), to see gain/loss

The expression of virulence and antimicrobial related proteins in different Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates

Project description:Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei are both potential biological threats agents. Melioidosis caused by B. pseudomallei is endemic in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, while glanders caused by B. mallei infections are rare. Here we studied the proteomes of different B. mallei and B. pseudomallei isolates to determine species specific characteristics. Analyzing the expressed proteomes of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei revealed differences between B. mallei and B. pseudomallei but also between isolates from the same species. Expression of multiple virulence factors and proteins of several PKS/NRPS clusters was demonstrated. Proteome analysis can be used not only to identify bacteria but also to characterize the expression of important factors that putatively contribute to pathogenesis of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of Burkholderia pseudomallei Bsa Type III secretion system effectors using hyper-secreting mutants

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei is an intracellular pathogen and the causative agent of melioidosis, a severe disease of humans and animals. One of the virulence factors critical for early stages of infection is the Burkholderia secretion apparatus (Bsa) Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS), a molecular syringe that injects bacterial proteins, called effectors, into eukaryotic cells where they subvert cellular functions to the benefit of the bacteria. While the Bsa T3SS itself is known to be important for invasion, intracellular replication, and virulence, only a few genuine effector proteins have been identified and the complete repertoire of proteins secreted by the system has not yet been fully characterised. We constructed a mutant lacking bsaP, a homologue of the T3SS gatekeeper family of proteins that exert control over the timing and magnitude of effector protein secretion. Mutants lacking BsaP, or the T3SS translocon protein BipD, were observed to hyper-secrete the known Bsa effector protein BopE, providing evidence of their role in post-translational control of the Bsa T3SS and representing key reagents for the identification of its secreted substrates. Isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantification (iTRAQ), a gel-free quantitative proteomics technique, was used to compare the secreted protein profiles of the Bsa T3SS hyper-secreting mutants of B. pseudomallei with the isogenic parent strain and a bsaZ mutant incapable of effector protein secretion. Our study provides one of the most comprehensive core secretomes of B. pseudomallei described to date and identified 26 putative Bsa-dependent secreted proteins that may be considered candidate effectors. Two of these proteins, BprD and BapA, were validated as novel effector proteins secreted by the Bsa T3SS of B. pseudomallei.

Genome-wide analysis of blood, spleen and lung expression of C57BL/6 mice subjected to Burkholderia pseudomallei infection

Project description:Melioidosis, a severe human disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from acute septicaemia to chronic localized illness or latent infection. Mice were intranasally infected with either high or low doses of B. pseudomallei to generate either acute, chronic or latent infection and host blood and tissue transcriptional profiles were generated. Acute infection was accompanied by a homogeneous signature associated with induction of multiple innate immune response pathways, such as IL10, TREM1 and IFN-signaling, largely found in both blood and tissue. The transcriptional profile in blood reflected the heterogeneity of chronic infection and quantitatively reflected the severity of disease. Comparison of these mouse blood datasets by pathway and modular analysis with the blood transcriptional signature of patients with melioidosis showed that many genes were similarly perturbed, including IL10, TREM1 and IFNsignaling, revealing the common immune response occurring in both mice and humans.
