DegS and RseP homologous proteases are involved in singlet oxygen dependent activation of RpoE in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

ABSTRACT: Singlet oxygen ((1)O2) is the main agent of photooxidative stress and is generated by photosensitizers as (bacterio)chlorophylls. It leads to the damage of cellular macromolecules and therefore photosynthetic organisms have to mount an adaptive response to (1)O2 formation. A major player of the photooxidative stress response in Rhodobacter sphaeroides is the alternative sigma factor RpoE, which is inactivated under non-stress conditions by its cognate anti-sigma factor ChrR. By using random mutagenesis we identified RSP_1090 to be required for full activation of the RpoE response under (1)O2 stress, but not under organic peroxide stress. In this study we show that both RSP_1090 and RSP_1091 are required for full resistance towards (1)O2. Moreover, we revealed that the DegS and RseP homologs RSP_3242 and RSP_2710 contribute to (1)O2 resistance and promote ChrR proteolysis. The RpoE signaling pathway in R. sphaeroides is therefore highly similar to that of Escherichia coli, although very different anti-sigma factors control RpoE activity. Based on the acquired results, the current model for RpoE activation in response to (1)O2 exposure in R. sphaeroides was extended.

RpoH(II) activates oxidative-stress defense systems and is controlled by RpoE in the singlet oxygen-dependent response in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Project description:Photosynthetic organisms need defense systems against photooxidative stress caused by the generation of highly reactive singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)). Here we show that the alternative sigma factor RpoH(II) is required for the expression of important defense factors and that deletion of rpoH(II) leads to increased sensitivity against exposure to (1)O(2) and methylglyoxal in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The gene encoding RpoH(II) is controlled by RpoE, and thereby a sigma factor cascade is constituted. We provide the first in vivo study that identifies genes controlled by an RpoH(II)-type sigma factor, which is widely distributed in the Alphaproteobacteria. RpoH(II)-dependent genes encode oxidative-stress defense systems, including proteins for the degradation of methylglyoxal, detoxification of peroxides, (1)O(2) scavenging, and redox and iron homeostasis. Our experiments indicate that glutathione (GSH)-dependent mechanisms are involved in the defense against photooxidative stress in photosynthetic bacteria. Therefore, we conclude that systems pivotal for the organism's defense against photooxidative stress are strongly dependent on GSH and are specifically recognized by RpoH(II) in R. sphaeroides.

RpoE regulon in Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Project description:In Rhodobacter sphaeroides a transcriptional response to the reactive oxygen species singlet oxygen is controlled by the group IV sigma factor RpoE and the anti-sigma factor ChrR. In this study, we integrated various large datasets to identify genes within the singlet oxygen stress response that contain RpoE-dependent promoters within R. sphaeroides. Transcript pattern clustering and a RpoE-binding sequence model were used to predict candidate promoters that respond to singlet oxygen stress in R. sphaeroides. These candidate promoters were experimentally validated to nine R. sphaeroides RpoE-dependent promoters that control the transcription of 15 genes activated by singlet oxygen.

Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 pRKSorX144 versus pRK415 under singlet oxygen stress.

Project description:To learn more about the function of SorX, we constructed an over-expression strain. For this purpose, the sorX gene together with its 28-bp upstream region was cloned into the over-expression vector pRK4352 and expressed in the R. sphaeroides wild-type 2.4.1 background. The corresponding strain consequently exhibits a SorX over-expression that is driven by the constitutive 16S rRNA (RSP_4352) promoter. The over-expression strain was compared to an empty vector control (pRK415). Total RNA from the over-expression (pRKSorX144) and from the empty vector control (pRK415) strain was extracted after 7 min of singlet oxygen stress and used for microarray analysis to investigate SorX-induced changes on transcriptome level.

Overlapping alternative sigma factor regulons in the response to singlet oxygen in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Project description:Organisms performing photosynthesis in the presence of oxygen have to cope with the formation of highly reactive singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) and need to mount an adaptive response to photooxidative stress. Here we show that the alternative sigma factors RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) are both involved in the (1)O(2) response and in the heat stress response in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We propose RpoH(II) to be the major player in the (1)O(2) response, whereas RpoH(I) is more important for the heat stress response. Mapping of the 5' ends of RpoH(II)- and also RpoH(I)/RpoH(II)-dependent transcripts revealed clear differences in the -10 regions of the putative promoter sequences. By using bioinformatic tools, we extended the RpoH(II) regulon, which includes genes induced by (1)O(2) exposure. These genes encode proteins which are, e.g., involved in methionine sulfoxide reduction and in maintaining the quinone pool. Furthermore, we identified small RNAs which depend on RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) and are likely to contribute to the defense against photooxidative stress and heat stress.

Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 pSurS versus pBBR under singlet oxygen stress.

Project description:To learn more about the function of SurS, we constructed an over-expression strain. For this purpose, the surS gene together with its native RpoE promoter was cloned into the middle-copy plasmid pBBR1 and expressed in the R. sphaeroides wild-type 2.4.1 background. The corresponding strain consequently exhibits a singlet oxygen-induced SurS over-expression compared to an empty vector control. Total RNA from the over-expression (pSurS) and from the empty vector control (pBBR) strain was extracted after 7 min of singlet oxygen stress and used for microarray analysis to investigate SurS-induced changes on transcriptome level. RNA samples collected after 7 min of singlet oxygen stress were analyzed by two-color microarrays. Each microarray contains a pool of three independent biological replicates for each sample.
