L-Ascorbic Acid Restricts Vibrio cholerae Survival in Various Growth Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Cholera, a deadly diarrheal disease, continues to ravage various parts of the world. It is caused by Vibrio cholerae, an important member of the gamma-proteobacteria. Based on certain genetic and phenotypic tests, the organism is classified into two major biotypes, namely classical and El Tor. The El Tor and its variants are majorly responsible for the ongoing seventh pandemic across the globe. Previously, we have shown that cross-feeding of glucose metabolic acidic by-products of gut commensals can severely affect the viability of the biotypes. In this work, we examined the effect of L-ascorbic acid on the survival of Vibrio cholerae strains belonging to both biotypes and different serotypes. We observed that L-ascorbic acid effectively restricts the growth of all strains under various conditions including strains adapted to acid stress. In addition, L-ascorbic acid is also effective in decreasing bile-induced biofilms of Vibrio cholerae.

Differential endopeptidase requirements during adaptation to changing growth conditions in Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:The bacterial cell wall is a covalently linked meshwork of peptidoglycan (PG) that establishes cell shape and prevents osmotic lysis. This structure must be flexible enough to accommodate transenvelope protein complexes, but strong enough to withstand high intracellular pressure. In order to elongate and divide, cells must remodel the cell wall through the concerted action of PG synthesis and degradation. Endopeptidases, a class of PG degrading enzymes, facilitate cell growth by hydrolyzing PG crosslinks. Vibrio cholerae encodes several functionally redundant endopeptidases, two of which are nearly identical: ShyA and ShyC. To investigate differential roles of these enzymes, we assessed growth and morphology of ShyA and ShyC mutants. We found that ShyA, but not ShyC, is required for normal adaptation to low osmolarity medium. Cells lacking ShyA exhibited longer lag phase and aberrant morphology during adaptation, and reduced survival in the presence of a beta-lactam antibiotic. Lastly, our experiments revealed that cells lacking ShyA's LysM domain exhibited more severe defects than cells lacking ShyA altogether, implicating the LysM domain in proper regulation of ShyA activity.

Role of rpoS in stress survival and virulence of Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae is known to persist in aquatic environments under nutrient-limiting conditions. To analyze the possible involvement of the alternative sigma factor encoded by rpoS, which is shown to be important for survival during nutrient deprivation in several other bacterial species, a V. cholerae rpoS homolog was cloned by functional complementation of an Escherichia coli mutant by using a wild-type genomic library. Sequence analysis of the complementing clone revealed an 1.008-bp open reading frame which is predicted to encode a 336-amino-acid protein with 71 to 63% overall identity to other reported rpoS gene products. To determine the functional role of rpoS in V. cholerae, we inactivated rpoS by homologous recombination. V. cholerae strains lacking rpoS are impaired in the ability to survive diverse environmental stresses, including exposure to hydrogen peroxide, hyperosmolarity, and carbon starvation. These results suggest that rpoS may be required for the persistence of V. cholerae in aquatic habitats. In addition, the rpoS mutation led to reduced production or secretion of hemagglutinin/protease. However, rpoS is not critical for in vivo survival, as determined by an infant mouse intestinal competition assay.

Classical and El Tor biotypes of Vibrio cholerae differ in timing of transcription of tcpPH during growth in inducing conditions.

Project description:Two protein pairs in Vibrio cholerae, ToxRS and TcpPH, are necessary for transcription from the toxT promoter and subsequent expression of cholera virulence genes. We have previously shown that transcription of tcpPH in classical strains of V. cholerae is activated at mid-log-phase growth in ToxR-inducing conditions, while transcription of tcpPH in El Tor strains is not. In this study, we showed that while transcription of tcpPH differs at mid-log-phase growth in ToxR-inducing conditions between the biotypes, transcription is equivalently high during growth in AKI conditions. We used tcpPH::gusA transcriptional fusions to quantitate expression of tcpPH in each biotype throughout growth in ToxR-inducing conditions and showed that although transcription of tcpPH is reduced at mid-log-phase growth in an El Tor strain, transcription is turned on later in growth to levels in excess of those in the classical strain (although cholera toxin is not produced). This suggests that the difference in expression of cholera virulence factors in response to ToxR-inducing conditions between the El Tor and classical biotypes of V. cholerae may be related to the timing of transcription of tcpPH rather than the absolute levels of transcription.

Design and Construction of Vibrio cholerae Strains That Harbor Various CTX Prophage Arrays.

Project description:Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains arise upon infection and integration of the lysogenic cholera toxin phage, the CTX phage, into bacterial chromosomes. The V. cholerae serogroup O1 strains identified to date can be broadly categorized into three main groups: the classical biotype strains, which harbor CTX-cla; the prototype El Tor strains (Wave 1 strains), which harbor CTX-1; and the atypical El Tor strains, which harbor CTX-2 (Wave 2 strains) or CTX-3~6 (Wave 3 strains). The efficiencies of replication and transmission of CTX phages are similar, suggesting the possibility of existence of more diverse bacterial strains harboring various CTX phages and their arrays in nature. In this study, a set of V. cholerae strains was constructed by the chromosomal integration of CTX phages into strains that already harbored CTX phages or those that did not harbor any CTX phage or RS1 element. Strains containing repeats of the same kind of CTX phage, strains containing the same kind of CTX phage in each chromosome, strains containing alternative CTX phages in one chromosome, or containing different CTX phages in each chromosome have been constructed. Thus, strains with any CTX array can be designed and constructed. Moreover, the strains described in this study contained the toxT-139F allele, which enhances the expression of TcpA and cholera toxin. These characteristics are considered to be important for cholera vaccine development. Once their capacity to provoke immunity in human against V. cholerae infection is evaluated, some of the generated strains could be developed further to yield cholera vaccine strains.

iTRAQ-based proteomic profiling of Vibrio parahaemolyticus under various culture conditions.

Project description:BackgroundVibrio parahaemolyticus is a common pathogen infecting humans and marine animals; this pathogen has become a major concern of marine food products and trade. In this study, V. parahaemolyticus isolated from sewage was exposed to different culture conditions and analyzed by isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) based reversed-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique. Our goal is to gain further insights into the proteomics of V. parahaemolyticus, particularly differentially expressed proteins closely correlated with growth conditions and pathogenicity associated proteins.ResultsIn this study, a total of 2,717 proteins including numerous membrane proteins were significantly identified, and 616 proteins displayed significant differential expression under different conditions. Of them, 12 proteins mainly participating in metabolism showed the most elastic expression differentiation between different culture conditions. Some membrane proteins such as type I secretion outer membrane protein, TolC, lipoprotein, efflux system proteins iron-regulated protein A and putaive Fe-regulated protein B, ferric siderophore receptor homolog and several V. parahaemolyticus virulence-associated proteins were differentially regulated under different conditions. Some differentially regulated proteins were analyzed and confirmed at gene expression level by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).ConclusionsProteomics analysis results revealed the characteristics of V. parahaemolyticus proteome expression, provided some promising biomarkers related with growth conditions, the results likely advance insights into the mechanism involved in the response of V. parahaemolyticus to different conditions. Some virulence-associated proteins were discovered to be differentially expressed under different conditions.

Activation of Vibrio cholerae quorum sensing promotes survival of an arthropod host.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae colonizes the human terminal ileum to cause cholera, and the arthropod intestine and exoskeleton to persist in the aquatic environment. Attachment to these surfaces is regulated by the bacterial quorum-sensing signal transduction cascade, which allows bacteria to assess the density of microbial neighbours. Intestinal colonization with V. cholerae results in expenditure of host lipid stores in the model arthropod Drosophila melanogaster. Here we report that activation of quorum sensing in the Drosophila intestine retards this process by repressing V. cholerae succinate uptake. Increased host access to intestinal succinate mitigates infection-induced lipid wasting to extend survival of V. cholerae-infected flies. Therefore, quorum sensing promotes a more favourable interaction between V. cholerae and an arthropod host by reducing the nutritional burden of intestinal colonization.

NhaA, an Na(+)/H(+) antiporter involved in environmental survival of Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae, the agent of cholera, is a normal inhabitant of aquatic environments, in which it survives under a wide range of conditions of pH and salinity. In this work, we identified the nhaA gene in a wild-type epidemic strain of V. cholerae O1. nhaA encodes a protein of 382 amino acids that is very similar to the proteins NhaA of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus ( approximately 87% identity), and Escherichia coli (56% identity). V. cholerae NhaA complements an E. coli nhaA mutant, enabling it to grow in 700 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, indicating functional homology to E. coli NhaA. However, unlike E. coli, the growth of a nhaA-inactivated mutant of V. cholerae was not restricted at various pH and NaCl concentrations, although it was inhibited in the presence of 120 mM LiCl at pH 8.5. Nevertheless, using a nhaA'-lacZ transcriptional fusion, we observed induction of nhaA transcription by Na(+), Li(+), and K(+). These results strongly suggest that NhaA is an Na(+)/H(+) antiporter contributing to the Na(+)/H(+) homeostasis of V. cholerae. nhaA-related sequences were detected in all strains of V. cholerae from the various serogroups. This gene is presumably involved in the survival and persistence of free-living bacteria in their natural habitat.
