Genetic and Biochemical Diversity for N-acylhomoserine Lactone Biosynthesis in the Plant Pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum.

ABSTRACT: The plant pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) regulates the expression of virulence factors by N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing. The LuxI family protein, ExpI, catalyzes AHL biosynthesis in Pcc. The structure of the predominant AHL produced by ExpI differs among Pcc strains, which may be divided into two quorum-sensing classes (QS classes) based on the AHL produced. In the present study, AHL produced by 282 Pcc strains were extracted and identified by LC-MS/MS. Seventy Pcc strains produced N-(3-oxooctanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C8-HSL) as the predominant AHL and were categorized into QS class I. Two hundred Pcc strains produced N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C6-HSL) as the predominant AHL, and were categorized into QS class II-1. Twelve Pcc strains produced only small amounts of 3-oxo-C6-HSL, and were categorized into QS class II-2. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the amino acid sequences of ExpI may be divided into two major clades (I and II). The Pcc strains categorized into ExpI clades I and II entirely matched QS classes I and II, respectively. A multiple alignment analysis demonstrated that only 6 amino acid substitutions were observed among ExpI from QS classes II-1 and II-2. Furthermore, many amino acid substitutions between QS classes I and II were concentrated at the C-terminal region. These amino acid substitutions are assumed to cause significant reductions in 3-oxo-C6-HSL in QS class II-2 or affect the substrate specificity of ExpI between QS classes I and II.

Complete genome sequence of phytopathogenic Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum bacteriophage PP1.

Project description:Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum is a phytopathogen causing soft rot disease on diverse plant species. To control this plant pathogen, P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum-targeting bacteriophage PP1 was isolated and its genome was completely sequenced to develop a novel biocontrol agent. Interestingly, the 44,400-bp genome sequence does not encode any gene involved in the formation of lysogen, suggesting that this phage may be very useful as a biocontrol agent because it does not make lysogen after host infection. This is the first report on the complete genome sequence of the P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum-targeting bacteriophage, and it will enhance our understanding of the interaction between phytopathogens and their targeting bacteriophages.

Potential of a Quorum Quenching Bacteria Isolate Ochrobactrum intermedium D-2 Against Soft Rot Pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum.

Project description:Quorum quenching (QQ) is a promising strategy for preventing and controlling quorum sensing (QS)-mediated bacterial infections. It interferes with QS by the inhibition of signal synthesis, the detection of enzyme-catalyzed degradation, and the modification of signals. N-Acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) represent a family of widely conserved QS signals involved in the regulation of virulence factor production in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. In this study, AHL-degrading bacterial strains were isolated, and the most efficient one was evaluated for its potential against QS-mediated pathogens. Results showed that an AHL-degrading bacteria Ochrobactrum intermedium D-2 effectively attenuated maceration produced by the pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) on radish and potato slices. Strain D-2 exhibited a superior AHL degradation activity and efficiently degraded various AHLs, including N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6HSL), N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3OC6HSL), N-(3-oxooctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3OC8HSL), and N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3OC12HSL). Analysis of the degradation products of AHL by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry led to the identification of N-cyclohexyl-propanamide and propanamide as the main intermediate products, suggesting that AHL was degraded by hydrolysis. Annotation and analysis of the whole genome sequence of strain D-2 revealed the presence of an AHL-lactonase, termed AidF. Moreover, the application of strain D-2 was able to substantially reduce the disease severity caused by Pcc on host plants. These results reveal the biochemical basis of a highly efficient AHL-degrading bacterial isolate and present the potential to attenuate Pcc virulence through QQ.

Antagonistic activity of endophytic actinobacteria from native potatoes (Solanum tuberosum subsp. tuberosum L.) against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and Pectobacterium atrosepticum.

Project description:BackgroundThe native potatoes (Solanum tuberosum subsp. tuberosum L.) grown in Chile (Chiloé) represent a new, unexplored source of endophytes to find potential biological control agents for the prevention of bacterial diseases, like blackleg and soft rot, in potato crops.ResultThe objective of this study was the selection of endophytic actinobacteria from native potatoes for antagonistic activity against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and Pectobacterium atrosepticum, and their potential to suppress tissue maceration symptoms in potato tubers. This potential was determined through the quorum quenching activity using a Chromobacterium violaceaum ATCC 12472 Wild type (WT) bioassay and its colonization behavior of the potato plant root system (S. tuberosum) by means of the Double labeling of oligonucleotide probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization (DOPE-FISH) targeting technique. The results showed that although Streptomyces sp. TP199 and Streptomyces sp. A2R31 were able to inhibit the growth of the pathogens, only the Streptomyces sp. TP199 isolate inhibited Pectobacterium sp. growth and diminished tissue maceration in tubers (p ≤ 0.05). Streptomyces sp. TP199 had metal-dependent acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) quorum quenching activity in vitro and was able to colonize the root endosphere 10 days after inoculation.ConclusionsWe concluded that native potatoes from southern Chile possess endophyte actinobacteria that are potential agents for the disease management of soft rot and blackleg.

Mechanisms of Nα-lauroyl arginate ethyl ester against Penicillium digitatum and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity and mechanisms of Nα-lauroyl arginate ethyl ester (LAE) against Penicillium digitatum and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. The minim inhibitory concentrations of LAE against P. digitatum and P. carotovorum were found to be 400 and 25 μg/ml, respectively. Loss of intracellular protein and nucleic acid increased significantly, and membrane permeability reached 76.28, 54.29 and 85.20%, respectively, when 400 μg/ml of LAE was applied to the hyphae and spores of P. digitatum and to P. carotovorum. Flow cytometry showed that LAE reduced the membrane potential, and the depolarization ratios of P. digitatum and P. carotovorum were 98.19 and 97.25% (P < 0.05), respectively. Transmission electron microscopy photos revealed that LAE caused a rough surface, irregular cellular organelles, protoplast shrinkage, intracytoplasmic coagulation and empty cavities in all three cell types. These results showed that LAE had notable ability to damage the structure of fungal and bacterial cells, making it a possible alternative chemical for use in the preservation of fruits and vegetables.

Characterization of a new bacteriocin, Carocin D, from Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Pcc21.

Project description:Two different bacteriocins, carotovoricin and carocin S1, had been found in Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, which causes soft-rot disease in diverse plants. Previously, we reported that the particular strain Pcc21, producing only one high-molecular-weight bacteriocin, carried a new antibacterial activity against the indicator strain Pcc3. Here, we report that this new antibacterial activity is due to a new bacteriocin produced by strain Pcc21 and named carocin D. Carocin D is encoded by the caroDK gene located in the genomic DNA together with the caroDI gene, which seems to encode an immunity protein. N-terminal amino acid sequences of purified carocin D were determined by Edman degradation. In comparison with the primary translation product of caroDK, it was found that 8 amino acids are missing at the N terminus. This finding proved that carocin D is synthesized as a precursor peptide and that 8 amino acids are removed from its N terminus during maturation. Carocin D has two putative translocation domains; the N-terminal and C-terminal domains are homologous to those of Escherichia coli colicin E3 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa S-type pyocin, respectively. When caroDK and caroDI genes were transformed into carocin D-sensitive bacteria such as Pcc3, the bacteria became resistant to this bacteriocin. Carocin D has one putative DNase domain at the extreme C terminus and showed DNase activity in vitro. This bacteriocin had slight tolerance to heat but not to proteases. The caroDK gene was present in only 5 of 54 strains of P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. These results indicate that carocin D is a third bacteriocin found in P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, and this bacteriocin can be readily expressed in carocin D-sensitive nonpathogenic bacteria, which may have high potential as a biological control agent in the field.

Unraveling the Uncharacterized Domain of Carocin S2: A Ribonuclease Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Bacteriocin.

Project description:Carocin S2 is a bacteriocin with a low molecular weight generated by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum 3F3 strain. The caroS2K gene, which is found in the genomic DNA alongside the caroS2I gene, which codes for an immunity protein, encodes this bacteriocin. We explored the residues responsible for Carocin S2's cytotoxic or RNA-se activity using a structure-based mutagenesis approach. The minimal antibiotic functional region starts at Lys691 and ends at Arg783, according to mutational research. Two residues in the identified region, Phe760 and Ser762, however, are unable to demonstrate this activity, suggesting that these sites may interact with another domain. Small modifications in the secondary structure of mutant caroS2K were revealed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence (ITF), showing ribosomal RNA cleavage in the active site. A co-immunoprecipitation test indicated that the immunity protein CaroS2I binds to CaroS2K's C-terminus, while a region under the uncharacterized Domain III inhibits association of N-terminally truncated CaroS2K from interacting with CaroS2I. Carocin S2, a ribosomal ribonuclease bacteriocin, is the first to be identified with a domain III that encodes the cytotoxic residues as well as the binding sites between its immunity and killer proteins.
