Project description:Membrane vesicles (MVs) are produced by species across all domains of life and have diverse physiological functions and promising applications. While the mechanisms for vesiculation in Gram-negative bacteria are well-established, the genetic determinant and regulation of MVs biogenesis in Gram-positive bacteria remain still largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that a Q225P substitution in the alternative sigma factor SigB greatly triggers MVs production in Staphylococcus aureus strain Newman by directly repressing expression of alkaline shock protein 23, wherein the Q225P mutation hinders the specific binding of SigB to the asp23 promoter. Isogenic deletion of asp23 consistently promotes MVs formation in Newman, highlighting the critical role of both sigB and asp23 in modulating S. aureus vesiculation. While bacterial growth and cytoplasmic membrane fluidity do not be impaired, mutation of asp23 elicits a weakened cell wall and enhanced autolysis that potentially involved in LrgAB-controlled hydrolases and PSMα-mediated activities, which ultimately leads to hypervesiculation in Newman. Furthermore, TEM and proteomic analysis suggest nearly identical morphology and composition, but virulence-associated factors are significantly enriched in MVs upon asp23 deletion. Overall, this study reveals novel genetic determinants and cues underlying S. aureus vesiculation, advancing the understanding of the physiology of MVs biogenesis in Gram-positive bacteria.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen which can cause a wide range of infections. To find new targets for diagnostics and treatment as well as understanding host-pathogen interactions, many studies have focused on the bacterial surface proteins. In the study presented here, bacterial cell surface-shaving, using Lipid-based Protein Immobilization (LPI), followed by tandem mass tag (TMT) protocols for performing relative quantitative mass spectrometry proteomics, was performed to examine the surface proteome (surfaceome) of selected strains of S. aureus. The study included analyses of surface protein-deficient mutants compared to the wildtype S. aureus strain Newman, as well strain isolates of different clinical associations. Quantitative proteomics were applied in the analysis of the surface proteome of Staphylococcus aureus. In study 1, the differential abundance of proteins in the mutant strains ΔClfA, ΔSrtAΔSrtB and ΔSpa was compared to those in the Newman parental strain. All together 7880 peptides were identified in Study 1 corresponding to 1290 proteins, and the results clearly showed that the mutant strains were deficient in the knocked-out genes. The Clinical strains study (Study 2) included the Newman strain, the reference strains LS-1 and SH1000 and three clinical isolates, two from invasive infections and one from mild skin infection. A total of 4949 peptides were identified in Study 2 corresponding to 919 proteins. For each strain, approximately 20 proteins showed higher or lower abundance (fold changes) when compared to the Newman strain. The results indicate that surface shaving of intact bacteria by LPI in combination with protocols for performing quantitative proteomics makes it possible to distinguish differences in protein abundance of the surfaceome, including virulence factors, between S. aureus strains.

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:Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.) is the most common causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia worldwide. A key pathogenic mechanism that exacerbates severity of disease is the disruption of the alveolo-capillary barrier. However, the specific virulence mechanisms responsible for this in the human lung are not yet fully understood. RNA sequencing of Streptococcus pneumoniae transcriptome under infection media conditions, but without the presence of lung tissue, representing anon-host-infection scenario FCS+/- was analyzed,. RNA isolation was performed using an acidic phenol-chloroform extraction protocol (Wetzstein et al., 1992). After DNase-I treatment (Zymo Research, Germany), the RNA quality was checked by Trinean Xpose (Gentbrugge, Belgium) and the Agilent RNA Nano 6000 kit using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Böblingen, Germany). For RNA-seq transcriptomics, Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit (Bacteria) from Illumina (San Diego, CA, USA) was used to remove the rRNA. TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit from Illumina (San Diego, CA, United States) was applied to prepare the cDNA libraries. The cDNAs were sequenced paired end on an Illumina HiSeq 1500 (San Diego, CA, United States) using 70 and 75 bp read length and a minimum sequencing depth of 10 million reads per library.

Project description:S. aureus is one of the major human pathogens that greatly impacts individuals and causes a variety of illnesses ranging from minor skin infections to life-threatening diseases, such as endocarditis, pneumonia, septicemia and toxic shock syndrome. Stk1/Stp1 are particular important for S. aureus pathogenesis and survival as they are thought to participate in regulating virulence, cell wall structure and antibiotic resistance. Understanding how Ser/Thr phosphorylation regulates virulence and antibiotic resistance will provide foundation for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against S. aureus infection. The phosphoproteomic analysis of Staphylococcus aureus Newman strain led to the identification of 76 peptides with mapped phosphorylation sites belonging to 29 distinct proteins. In the case of Stk1, only one peptide (residues 157-182), with the sequence ALSETSLTQTNHVLGTVQYFSPEQAK, was predicted to have a cluster of six phosphorylation sites (Ser159, Thr161, Ser162, Thr164, Thr166 and Thr172). This segment overlaps with the sequence of kinase activation loop (residues 154-176) in Stk1. Further biochemical studies revealed cis autophosphorylation of Thr172 in the GT/S motif is necessary for self-activation and kinase activity of Stk1, whereas the trans autophosphorylation of other activation loop serines/threonins are essential for the optimal kinase activity of Stk1.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is well known for its biofilm formation ability and is responsible for serious, chronic refractory infections worldwide. We previously demonstrated that advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a hallmark of chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic tissues, enhanced biofilm formation by promoting eDNA release via sigB upregulation in S. aureus, contributing to the high morbidity and mortality of diabetic foot ulcer infection. However, the exact regulatory network has not been completely described. Here, we used a pull-down assay and LC‒MS/MS to identify the GlmS protein as a candidate regulator of sigB in S. aureus stimulated by AGEs. Dual-luciferase assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) revealed that GlmS directly upregulated the transcriptional activity of sigB. We constructed Newman ∆glmS for further validation. Quantitative RT‒PCR analysis revealed that AGEs promoted both glmS and sigB expression in the Newman strain but had no effect on Newman ∆glmS. Newman ∆glmS showed a significant attenuation in biofilm formation ability and virulence, accompanied by a decrease in sigB expression, even under AGE stimulation. All of the changes, including pigment deficiency, decreased hemolysis ability, downregulation of hla and hld expression, and less and sparser biofilms, indicated that sigB and biofilm formation ability no longer responded to AGEs in Newman ∆glmS. Our data extend the understanding of GlmS in the global regulatory network of S. aureus and demonstrate a new mechanism by which AGEs can upregulate GlmS, which subsequently directly regulates sigB and plays a significant role in mediating biofilm formation and virulence factor expression.
