Bacterial Haemoprotein Sensors of NO: H-NOX and NosP.

ABSTRACT: Low concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) modulate varied behaviours in bacteria including biofilm dispersal and quorum sensing-dependent light production. H-NOX (haem-nitric oxide/oxygen binding) is a haem-bound protein domain that has been shown to be involved in mediating these bacterial responses to NO in several organisms. However, many bacteria that respond to nanomolar concentrations of NO do not contain an annotated H-NOX domain. Nitric oxide sensing protein (NosP), a newly discovered bacterial NO-sensing haemoprotein, may fill this role. The focus of this review is to discuss structure, ligand binding, and activation of H-NOX proteins, as well as to discuss the early evidence for NO sensing and regulation by NosP domains. Further, these findings are connected to the regulation of bacterial biofilm phenotypes and symbiotic relationships.

NosP Signaling Modulates the NO/H-NOX-Mediated Multicomponent c-Di-GMP Network and Biofilm Formation in Shewanella oneidensis.

Project description:Biofilms form when bacteria aggregate in a self-secreted exopolysaccharide matrix; they are resistant to antibiotics and implicated in disease. Nitric oxide (NO) is known to mediate biofilm formation in many bacteria via ligation to H-NOX (heme-NO/oxygen binding) domains. Most NO-responsive bacteria, however, lack H-NOX domain-containing proteins. We have identified another NO-sensing protein (NosP), which is predicted to be involved in two-component signaling and biofilm regulation in many species. Here, we demonstrate that NosP participates in the previously described H-NOX/NO-responsive multicomponent c-di-GMP signaling network in Shewanella oneidensis. Strains lacking either nosP or its co-cistronic kinase nahK (previously hnoS) produce immature biofilms, while hnoX and hnoK (kinase responsive to NO/H-NOX) mutants result in wild-type biofilm architecture. We demonstrate that NosP regulates the autophosphorylation activity of NahK as well as HnoK. HnoK and NahK have been shown to regulate three response regulators (HnoB, HnoC, and HnoD) that together comprise a NO-responsive multicomponent c-di-GMP signaling network. Here, we propose that NosP/NahK adds regulation on top of H-NOX/HnoK to modulate this c-di-GMP signaling network, and ultimately biofilm formation, by governing the flux of phosphate through both HnoK and NahK. In addition, it appears that NosP and H-NOX act to counter each other in a push-pull mechanism; NosP/NahK promotes biofilm formation through inhibition of H-NOX/HnoK signaling, which itself reduces the extent of biofilm formation. Addition of NO results in a reduction of c-di-GMP and biofilm formation, primarily through disinhibition of HnoK activity.

Nitric oxide-sensing H-NOX proteins govern bacterial communal behavior.

Project description:Heme-nitric oxide/oxygen binding (H-NOX) domains function as sensors for the gaseous signaling agent nitric oxide (NO) in eukaryotes and bacteria. Mammalian NO signaling is well characterized and involves the H-NOX domain of soluble guanylate cyclase. In bacteria, H-NOX proteins interact with bacterial signaling proteins in two-component signaling systems or in cyclic-di-GMP metabolism. Characterization of several downstream signaling processes has shown that bacterial H-NOX proteins share a common role in controlling important bacterial communal behaviors in response to NO. The H-NOX pathways regulate motility, biofilm formation, quorum sensing, and symbiosis. Here, we review the latest structural and mechanistic studies that have elucidated how H-NOX domains selectively bind NO and transduce ligand binding into conformational changes that modulate activity of signaling partners. Furthermore, we summarize the recent advances in understanding the physiological function and biochemical details of the H-NOX signaling pathways.

Gas Sensing by Bacterial H-NOX Proteins: An MD Study.

Project description:Gas sensing is crucial for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and is primarily performed by heme-based sensors, including H-NOX domains. These systems may provide a new, alternative mode for transporting gaseous molecules in higher organisms, but for the development of such systems, a detailed understanding of the ligand-binding properties is required. Here, we focused on ligand migration within the protein matrix: we performed molecular dynamics simulations on three bacterial (Ka, Ns and Cs) H-NOX proteins and studied the kinetics of CO, NO and O2 diffusion. We compared the response of the protein structure to the presence of ligands, diffusion rate constants, tunnel systems and storage pockets. We found that the rate constant for diffusion decreases in the O2 > NO > CO order in all proteins, and in the Ns > Ks > Cs order if single-gas is considered. Competition between gases seems to seriously influence the residential time of ligands spent in the distal pocket. The channel system is profoundly determined by the overall fold, but the sidechain pattern has a significant role in blocking certain channels by hydrophobic interactions between bulky groups, cation-π interactions or hydrogen bonding triads. The majority of storage pockets are determined by local sidechain composition, although certain functional cavities, such as the distal and proximal pockets are found in all systems. A major guideline for the design of gas transport systems is the need to chemically bind the gas molecule to the protein, possibly joining several proteins with several heme groups together.

Bacterial Heme-Based Sensors of Nitric Oxide.

Project description:SIGNIFICANCE:The molecule nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to regulate behaviors in bacteria, including biofilm formation. NO detection and signaling in bacteria is typically mediated by hemoproteins such as the bis-(3',5')-cyclic dimeric adenosine monophosphate-specific phosphodiesterase YybT, the transcriptional regulator dissimilative nitrate respiration regulator, or heme-NO/oxygen binding (H-NOX) domains. H-NOX domains are well-characterized primary NO sensors that are capable of detecting nanomolar NO and influencing downstream signal transduction in many bacterial species. However, many bacteria, including the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respond to nanomolar concentrations of NO but do not contain an annotated H-NOX domain, indicating the existence of an additional nanomolar NO-sensing protein (NosP). Recent Advances: A newly discovered bacterial hemoprotein called NosP may also act as a primary NO sensor in bacteria, in addition to, or in place of, H-NOX. NosP was first described as a regulator of a histidine kinase signal transduction pathway that is involved in biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa. CRITICAL ISSUES:The molecular details of NO signaling in bacteria are still poorly understood. There are still many bacteria that are NO responsive but do encode either H-NOX or NosP domains in their genomes. Even among bacteria that encode H-NOX or NosP, many questions remain. FUTURE DIRECTIONS:The molecular mechanisms of NO regulation in many bacteria remain to be established. Future studies are required to gain knowledge about the mechanism of NosP signaling. Advancements on structural and molecular understanding of heme-based sensors in bacteria could lead to strategies to alleviate or control bacterial biofilm formation or persistent biofilm-related infections.

Fluorescent sensors of siderophores produced by bacterial pathogens.

Project description:Siderophores are iron-chelating molecules that solubilize Fe3+ for microbial utilization and facilitate colonization or infection of eukaryotes by liberating host iron for bacterial uptake. By fluorescently labeling membrane receptors and binding proteins, we created 20 sensors that detect, discriminate, and quantify apo- and ferric siderophores. The sensor proteins originated from TonB-dependent ligand-gated porins (LGPs) of Escherichia coli (Fiu, FepA, Cir, FhuA, IutA, BtuB), Klebsiella pneumoniae (IroN, FepA, FyuA), Acinetobacter baumannii (PiuA, FepA, PirA, BauA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (FepA, FpvA), and Caulobacter crescentus (HutA) from a periplasmic E. coli binding protein (FepB) and from a human serum binding protein (siderocalin). They detected ferric catecholates (enterobactin, degraded enterobactin, glucosylated enterobactin, dihydroxybenzoate, dihydroxybenzoyl serine, cefidericol, MB-1), ferric hydroxamates (ferrichromes, aerobactin), mixed iron complexes (yersiniabactin, acinetobactin, pyoverdine), and porphyrins (hemin, vitamin B12). The sensors defined the specificities and corresponding affinities of the LGPs and binding proteins and monitored ferric siderophore and porphyrin transport by microbial pathogens. We also quantified, for the first time, broad recognition of diverse ferric complexes by some LGPs, as well as monospecificity for a single metal chelate by others. In addition to their primary ferric siderophore ligands, most LGPs bound the corresponding aposiderophore with ∼100-fold lower affinity. These sensors provide insights into ferric siderophore biosynthesis and uptake pathways in free-living, commensal, and pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria.

Bacterial iron-sulfur cluster sensors in mammalian pathogens.

Project description:Iron-sulfur clusters act as important cofactors for a number of transcriptional regulators in bacteria, including many mammalian pathogens. The sensitivity of iron-sulfur clusters to iron availability, oxygen tension, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species enables bacteria to use such regulators to adapt their gene expression profiles rapidly in response to changing environmental conditions. In this review, we discuss how the [4Fe-4S] or [2Fe-2S] cluster-containing regulators FNR, Wbl, aconitase, IscR, NsrR, SoxR, and AirSR contribute to bacterial pathogenesis through control of both metabolism and classical virulence factors. In addition, we briefly review mammalian iron homeostasis as well as oxidative/nitrosative stress to provide context for understanding the function of bacterial iron-sulfur cluster sensors in different niches within the host.
