Project description:To examine the effects of cyclic-di-GMP on DNA binding by BldD in vivo, we manipulated the levels of c-di-GMP in Streptomyces venezuelae and monitored the effect on BldD binding to its target promoters in vivo by ChIP-seq, using a polyclonal BldD antibody. The degree of BldD binding was assayed at a single time point in wild-type (wt) S. venezuelae and the wt overexpressing either the diguanylate cyclase CdgB or the phosphodiesterase YhjH. A bldD null mutant was used a negative control.

Project description:In the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type strain PA14, 40 genes are known to encode for diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and/or phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which modulate the intracellular pool of the nucleotide second messenger c-di-GMP. While in general, high levels of c-di-GMP drive the switch from highly motile phenotypes towards a sessile lifestyle, the different c-di-GMP modulating enzymes are responsible for smaller and in parts non-overlapping phenotypes. In this study, we sought to utilize previously recorded P. aeruginosa gene expression datasets on 414 clinical isolates to uncover transcriptional changes as a result of a high expression of genes encoding diguanylate cyclases. We demonstrate that the selection of sub-groups of clinical isolates with high versus low expression of regulatory genes served the identification of their downstream regulons. Thus, analyzing transcriptional profiles of clinical isolates with variant expression of diguanylate cyclase genes might provide a unique opportunity to bypass the problem that for many c-di-GMP modulating enzymes it is not known under which conditions their expression is activated. However, because the high c-di-GMP associated phenotypes were rapidly lost in the clinical isolates, we were unable to confirm diguanylate specific gene regulation. It is possible that the elevated c-di-GMP concentrations observed in the clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were due to a memory response, in which the bacteria maintain a certain level of c-di-GMP even after being removed from the conditions that induced the production of c-di-GMP. Further studies would be needed to determine the specific mechanisms underlying this memory response in P. aeruginosa.

Project description:Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates many biological processes in bacteria. The genome in Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes a single copy of the diguanylate cyclase gene (dgc) responsible for c-di-GMP synthesis. To determine the role of c-di-GMP signaling in M. tuberculosis, the mutant strain of Δdgc was generated in the virulent H37Rv strain. We used whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the genes controlled by c-di-GMP in M. tuberculosis, providing molecular proof for the phenotypes modulated by the signaling.

Project description:C-di-GMP signaling can directly influence bacterial behavior by affecting the functionality of c-di-GMP-binding proteins. In addition, c-di-GMP can exert an indirect and more global effect on gene transcription or translation, e.g. via riboswitches or by binding to transcription factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of changes in intracellular c-di-GMP levels on gene expression and protein production in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We induced c-di-GMP production via an ectopically introduced diguanylate cyclase and recorded the transcriptional, translational as well as proteomic profile of the cells. We demonstrate that rising levels of c-di-GMP in P. aeruginosa under growth conditions otherwise characterized by low c-di-GMP levels immediately cause a switch to a non-motile, auto-aggregative phenotype. This switch became apparent before any c-di-GMP-dependent role on transcription, translation, or protein abundance could be observed. Our results indicate that sudden rises in global c-di-GMP pools affect the P. aeruginosa phenotype via an alteration of protein functionality, rather than an impact on global gene transcription or translation.

Project description:Although the ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays important roles in various cellular functions including the formation of biofilm in a wide range of bacteria, its function in model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is largely elusive. In order to test this in P. syringae, we overexpressed a diguanylate cyclase (YedQ) and a phosphodiesterase (YhjH) that are originally from Escherichia coli, resulting in high and low c-di-GMP levels in P. syringae, respectively. Through performing genome-wide RNA sequencing of these two strains, we found that c-di-GMP regulates (i) fliN, fliE and flhA genes, which are associated with flagellar assembly, (ii) alg8 and alg44, which are related to exopolysaccaride biosynthesis pathway, (iii) pvdE, pvdP and pvsA genes, related to siderophore biosynthesis pathway, and (iv) sodA, which is a superoxide dismutase. In particular, we identified five genes sensitive to elevated c-di-GMP level and constructed five luciferase-based reporters that effectively respond to intracellular level of c-di-GMP in P. syringae, which can be used to measure c-di-GMP levels in vivo in the future. Based on the RNA-seq results, phenotypic assays confirmed that c-di-GMP regulated many important biological pathways in P. syringae, such as negative regulation of type III secretion system (T3SS) and motility as well as positive regulation of EPS production, siderophore production and oxidative stress resistance. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that c-di-GMP is closely related to virulence and stress response in P. syringae, suggesting that tuning its level can be a new strategy to protect plants from the attack of this pathogen in the future.

Wild-type H37Rv and Δdgc cultures were analyzed under aerobic conditions or in an in vitro dormancy model. Bacteria were collected at OD600 =1.3 for the aerobic cultures and upon the beginning of anaerobiosis for the cultures in the dormancy model. One culture for each experiment was assayed except for Δdgc under anaerobiosis (2 independent cultures).

Project description:Phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria results from stochastic processes or deterministic genetic programs. These deterministic programs often incorporate the versatile second messenger c-di-GMP, and by deploying c-di-GMP metabolizing enzyme(s) asymmetrically during cell division give rise to daughter cells with different c-di-GMP levels. Here, we identify a deterministic c-di-GMP-dependent genetic program that is hardwired into the cell cycle of Myxococcus xanthus to minimize cellular heterogeneity and guarantee the formation of phenotypically similar daughter cells during division. Cells lacking the diguanylate cyclase DmxA have an aberrant motility behaviour. DmxA is recruited to the cell division site and its activity switched on during cytokinesis, resulting in a dramatic but transient increase in the c-di-GMP concentration. During cytokinesis, this c-di-GMP burst ensures the symmetric incorporation and allocation of structural motility proteins and motility regulators at the new cell poles of the two daughters, thereby generating mirror-symmetric, phenotypically similar daughters with correct motility behaviours. These findings suggest a general c-di-GMP-dependent mechanism for minimizing cellular heterogeneity, and demonstrate that bacteria by deploying c-di-GMP metabolizing enzymes to distinct subcellular locations ensure the formation of dissimilar or similar daughter cells.

Project description:The innate immune system responds to unique molecular signatures that are widely conserved among microbes but that are not normally present in host cells. Compounds that stimulate innate immune pathways may be valuable in the design of novel adjuvants, vaccines, and other immunotherapeutics.The cyclic dinucleotide cyclic-di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a recently appreciated second messenger that plays critical regulatory roles in many species of bacteria but is not produced by eukaryotic cells. In vivo and in vitro studies have previously suggested that c-di-GMP is a potent immunostimulatory compound recognized by mouse and human cells. Here we provide evidence that c-di-GMP is sensed in the cytosol of mammalian cells via a novel immunosurveillance pathway. The potency of cytosolic signaling induced by cyclic-di- GMP is comparable to that induced by cytosolic delivery of DNA, and both nucleic acids induce a similar transcriptional profile, including triggering of type I interferons and coregulated genes via induction of TBK1, IRF3, NF-!B and MAP kinases. However, the cytosolic pathway that senses c-di-GMP appears to be distinct from all known nucleic acid-sensing pathways.Our results suggest a novel mechanism by which host cells can induce an inflammatory response to a widely produced bacterial ligand. Three-condition experiment: macrophages transfected with mono-GMP (negative control), double-stranded DNA (positive control), or cyclic-di-GMP (experimental condition). Biological replicates: two, independently treated, harvested, and hybridized to arrays. One replicate per array, except two technical replicates were performed for one of the positive control samples.

Project description:As a ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger, c-di-GMP plays key regulatory roles in processes like bacterial motility and transcription regulation. We found that c-di-GMP had impact on lysine acetylation level. To further investigate the regulation role, we performed a quantitative analysis of E. coli acetylome. In addition, we found that CobB is an effective deacetylase of YdeH, a major diguanylate cyclase (DGC) of E.coli that is endogenously acetylated. Mass spectrometry analysis identified YdeH K4 as the major site of acetylation, and it could be deacetylated by CobB.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of gene expression between parental strain B31 and rrp1 mutant. Cyclic-di-GMP is a bacterial second messenger that modulates many biological processes. Although its role in bacterial pathogenesis during mammalian infection has been widely recognized, the role of c-di-GMP in pathogen's life cycle in vector hosts is less understood. The enzootic cycle of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi involves both a mammalian host and an Ixodes tick vector. The B. burgdorferi genome encodes a single copy of the diguanylate cyclase gene (rrp1), which is responsible for the production of c-di-GMP. To determine the role of c-di-GMP in the life cycle of B. burgdorferi, an Rrp1-deficient B. burgdorferi strain was generated. The rrp1 mutant remains infectious in the mammalian host, but could not survive in the tick vector. To identify the mechanisms of Rrp1 contributing to B. burgdorferi pathogenesis and gene regulation, microarray was employed to compare gene expression profiles between the parental strain B31 and the rrp1 mutant. Two-condition experiment, B31 vs. rrp1 mutant. Biological replicates: 3 B31, 3 rrp1 mutant, independently grown and harvested. One replicate (dye-swap) per array.
