Project description:Studies on S. aureus sub-populations revealed that genomes are well conserved between isolates from the same lineages despite geographic, temporal and selective diversity. However, variation of hundreds of genes can occur between isolates from different lineages and these genes could be involved in interaction with host components. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diversity of secreted virulence factors in human and zoonotic S. aureus isolates from different clonal complexes. We focused on the S. aureus clonal complexes (CC) 8 and CC22 as dominant human lineages, and CC398 as dominant livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) which is disseminating rapidly. To study the diversity of secreted virulence factors, we compared their extracellular proteomes using label-free LC-MS/MS analysis. A common protein database was created based on DNA sequencing data and PAN genome IDs.

Project description:GAPDHs from human pathogens S. aureus and P. aeruginosa can be readily inhibited by ROS-mediated direct oxidation of their catalytic active cysteines. Because of the rapid degradation of H2O2 by bacterial catalase, only steady-state but not one-dose treatment of H2O2 induces rapid metabolic reroute from glycolysis to pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). We conducted RNA-seq analyses to globally profile the bacterial transcriptomes in response to a steady level of H2O2, which reveals profound transcriptional changes including the induced expression of glycolytic genes in both bacteria. Our results revealed that the inactivation of GAPDH by H2O2 induces a metabolic reroute from glycolysis to PPP; the elevated levels of fructose 1,6-biphosphate (FBP) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) lead to dissociation of their corresponding glycolytic repressors (GapR and HexR, respectively) from their cognate promoters, thus resulting in derepression of the glycolytic genes to overcome H2O2-stalled glycolysis in S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, respectively. Given that H2O2 can be produced constitutively by the host immune response, exposure to the steady-state stress of H2O2 recapitulates more accurately bacterial responses to host immune system in vivo.

Project description:Allicin from garlic is an antimicrobial substance that is effective against several ESKAPE pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, the antimicrobial mode action of allicin has not been revealed in Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we have studied the changes in the transcriptome by Allicin which revealed a thiol-specific oxidative stress response in S. aureus. Using shotgun proteomics, we identified numerous proteins that were modified by protein S-sulfoallylation in S. aureus. Allicin further caused an oxidative shift in the bacillithiol (BSH) redox potential as revealed by Brx-roGFP2 biosensor measurements. In summary, our results revealed that allicin acts via sulfoallylation of Cys residues in proteins causing an impaired redox state in S. aureus.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus can infect a wide range of animals and pose as a serious threat to public health by transferring via animals or animal-derived food stuff. Even more importantly, multiple drug resistance development in the bacteria has resulted in therapeutic failure of a number of antibiotics. Therefore by realizing the need of time, this study was designed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of virulence and resistance in S. aureus. After screening through in vivo and in vitro virulence assays and susceptibility test, a highly virulent and multidrug resistant MRSA strain was selected for differential analysis by RNA-seq technology and gene expression results were verified by RT-qPCR. Up-regulation of crucial regulators like sarA and KdpDE seemed to play role in decreased expression of many exotoxin genes while enhanced the adhesion and cell wall protein expression, leading to strong biofilm production in the presence of inactivated agr system. In addition to resistance genes like blaZ, ermC and femA, up-regulation of vraS and multidrug ABC transporter genes contributed to the multidrug resistance in MRSA. Fluoroquinolone resistance was attributed to mutational changes in gyrA and parC genes. Our findings suggested that many virulence and resistance determinants in S. aureus are controlled by complex network of various regulators, and sarA is the most important of those as it adds to pathogenicity of the bacteria and ensures its survival in diverse environment. Further investigations are required to unveil these mechanisms in S. aureus. Four samples were analysed including 2 MRSA1679a test strain and 2 reference strain ATCC1 samples with two replicates of each.

Project description:Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is becoming refractory to existing antibiotic therapy owing to the inherent ability of S. aureus to develop rapid resistance and is considered a major threat to public health. We found that a natural isolate of Bacillus pumilus from the Columbia River Estuary produces a strong anti-MRSA compound, amicoumacin A. As amicoumacin A has been reported to exhibit anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer activities, we sought to uncover its mechanism of action. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of S. aureus COL in response to amicoumacin A showed alteration in the expression of genes involved in several cellular processes including cell envelope turnover, cross-membrane transport, virulence, metabolism, and general stress response. The most highly induced gene was lrgA, encoding an antiholin-like product, which has been shown to be induced in response to a collapse of membrane potential. In order to gain further insight into the mechanism of action of amicoumacin A, a whole genome comparison of wild-type COL and amicoumacin A-resistant mutants isolated by serial passage method was carried out. Single point mutations resulting in codon substitutions were uncovered in several distinct genes: ksgA, RNA dimethyltranferase; fusA, elongation factor G; dnaG, primase, ; lacD, tagatose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, ; and SACOL0611, encoding a putative glycosyl transferase gene. Based on these results, a candidate approach was undertaken to recreate the same amino acid substitution individually in FusA and KsgA, each of which resulted in two-fold resistance towards amicoumacin A. The fusA gene is known as the site for fusidic acid- resistant mutations; however the codon substitutions in EF-G that cause amicoumacin A resistance and fusidic acid resistance occur in separate domains and do not bring about cross resistance. Taken together, these results suggest that amicoumacin A might cause perturbation of the cell membrane and lead to energy dissipation. Decreased rates of cellular metabolism including protein synthesis and DNA replication in resistant strains might allow cells to compensate for membrane dysfunction and thus increase cell survivability. Amicoumacin A, isolated from Bacillus pumilus, was added to exponentially growing cultures (OD600 =0.5) of Staphylococcus aureus COL at concentrations leading to around 12% and 20% reduction of OD600 after 10 min and 40 min, respectively. Total RNA was isolated from three biological replicates. Labeled cDNA from treated and control cultures (Cy5) was hybridized against a common reference cDNA pool (Cy3). The reference pool was prepared from a mixture of equal amounts of total RNA isolated from all stress and control samples in the experiment.
