YopB of Yersinia enterocolitica is essential for YopE translocation.

ABSTRACT: A previous study has shown that YopB of Yersinia spp. is essential for translocation of Yop effectors across the eucaryotic plasma membrane (M.-P. Sory and G. R. Cornelis, Mol. Microbiol. 14:583--594, 1994). However, this role was recently challenged (V. T. Lee and O. Schneewind, Mol. Microbiol. 31:1619--1629, 1999). Using protease protection and digitonin extraction, we reconfirm that YopB of Yersinia enterocolitica is essential for the translocation of YopE into HeLa cell monolayers.

A synonymous mutation in Yersinia enterocolitica yopE affects the function of the YopE type III secretion signal.

Project description:Yersinia spp. inject virulence proteins called Yops into the cytosol of target eukaryotic cells in an effort to evade phagocytic killing via a dedicated protein-sorting pathway termed type III secretion. Previous studies have proposed that, unlike other protein translocation mechanisms, Yops are not recognized as substrates for secretion via a solely proteinaceous signal. Rather, at least some of this information may be encoded within yop mRNA. Herein, we report that the first seven codons of yopE, when fused to the reporter protein neomycin phosphotransferase (Npt), are sufficient for the secretion of YopE1-7-Npt when type III secretion is induced in vitro. Systematic mutagenesis of yopE codons 1 to 7 reveals that, like yopQ, codons 2, 3, 5, and 7 are sensitive to mutagenesis, thereby defining the first empirical similarity between the secretion signals of two type III secreted substrates. Like that of yopQ, the secretion signal of yopE exhibits a bipartite nature. This is manifested by the ability of codons 8 to 15 to suppress point mutations in the minimal secretion signal that change the amino acid specificities of particular codons or that induce alterations in the reading frame. Further, we have identified a single nucleotide position in codon 3 that, when mutated, conserves the predicted amino acid sequence of the YopE1-7-Npt but abrogates secretion of the reporter protein. When introduced into the context of the full-length yopE gene, the single-nucleotide mutation reduces the type III injection of YopE into HeLa cells, even though the predicted amino acid sequence remains the same. Thus, yopE mRNA appears to encode a property that mediates the type III injection of YopE.

Multiplex PCR method for differentiating highly pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica and low pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

Project description:A multiplex PCR method for rapid and sensitive diagnosis, differentiating three pathogenic Yersinia groups such as the highly pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, including serotype O8, low pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, and Y. pseudotuberculosis, was developed. Four primer pairs were chosen to detect the genes fyuA, ail, inv, and virF, responsible for the virulence in pathogenic Yersinia species. Under the multiplex PCR conditions, the unique band patterns for the highly pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, low pathogenic Y. enterocolitica, and Y. pseudotuberculosis were generated from Yersinia strains. The detection limit of this method was 101-103 CFU per reaction tube. This multiplex PCR method could detect highly pathogenic Y. enterocolitica O8 from the wild rodent fecal samples that were culture-positive. Therefore, the new multiplex PCR method developed in this study is a useful tool for rapid and sensitive diagnosis, distinguishing three pathogenic Yersinia groups.

Essential role for cyclic AMP and its receptor protein in Yersinia enterocolitica virulence.

Project description:Insertion mutations were isolated in cya and crp of Yersinia enterocolitica, which encode adenylate cyclase and the cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor protein (CRP). The cya and crp mutants were affected for the production of proteins exported by the Ysc, Ysa, and flagellar type III secretion systems (TTSS). Protein production by each TTSS was restored when the respective mutation was complemented by a plasmid-encoded copy of the wild-type gene. Both cya and crp mutants exhibited reduced virulence for orally infected BALB/c mice in a 50% lethal dose analysis. Examination of bacterial survival in host tissues showed that cya and crp mutants colonized Peyer's patches and, to a lesser extent, mesenteric lymph nodes. However, the mutants did not appear to disseminate to the liver and spleen of infected mice. An initial examination of the effectiveness of Y. enterocolitica cya and crp mutants to stimulate protective immunity against subsequent challenge with virulent bacteria in mice was promising. The results indicate that the cAMP-CRP regulatory system is required for Y. enterocolitica virulence.

Generalized transduction of small Yersinia enterocolitica plasmids.

Project description:To study phage-mediated gene transfer in Yersinia, the ability of Yersinia phages to transduce naturally occurring plasmids was investigated. The transduction experiments were performed with a temperate phage isolated from a pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica strain and phage mixtures isolated from sewage. Small plasmids (4.3 and 5.8 kb) were transduced at a frequency of 10(-5) to 10(-7)/PFU. However, we could not detect the transduction of any indigenous virulence plasmid (ca. 72 kb) in pathogenic Yersinia strains. Transductants obtained by infection with the temperate phage were lysogenic and harbored the phage genome in their chromosomes.

Yersinia enterocolitica TyeA, an intracellular regulator of the type III machinery, is required for specific targeting of YopE, YopH, YopM, and YopN into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells.

Project description:Pathogenic Yersinia species employ type III machines to target effector Yops into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. Yersinia tyeA mutants are thought to be defective in the targeting of YopE and YopH without affecting the injection of YopM, YopN, YopO, YopP, and YopT into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. One model suggests that TyeA may form a tether between YopN (LcrE) and YopD on the bacterial surface, a structure that may translocate YopE and YopH across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells (M. Iriarte, M. P. Sory, A. Boland, A. P. Boyd, S. D. Mills, I. Lambermont, and G. R. Cornelis, EMBO J. 17:1907-1918, 1998). We have examined the injection of Yop proteins by tyeA mutant yersiniae with the digitonin fractionation technique. We find that tyeA mutant yersiniae not only secreted YopE, YopH, YopM, and YopN into the extracellular medium but also targeted these polypeptides into the cytosol of HeLa cells. Protease protection, cell fractionation, and affinity purification experiments suggest that TyeA is located intracellularly and binds to YopN or YopD. We propose a model whereby TyeA functions as a negative regulator of the type III targeting pathway in the cytoplasm of yersiniae, presumably by preventing the export of YopN.

The twin arginine translocation system is essential for virulence of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

Project description:Yersinia species pathogenic to humans have been extensively characterized with respect to type III secretion and its essential role in virulence. This study concerns the twin arginine translocation (Tat) pathway utilized by gram-negative bacteria to secrete folded proteins across the bacterial inner membrane into the periplasmic compartment. We have shown that the Yersinia Tat system is functional and required for motility and contributes to acid resistance. A Yersinia pseudotuberculosis mutant strain with a disrupted Tat system (tatC) was, however, not affected in in vitro growth or more susceptible to high osmolarity, oxidative stress, or high temperature, nor was it impaired in type III secretion. Interestingly, the tatC mutant was severely attenuated via both the oral and intraperitoneal routes in the systemic mouse infection model and highly impaired in colonization of lymphoid organs like Peyer's patches and the spleen. Our work highlights that Tat secretion plays a key role in the virulence of Y. pseudotuberculosis.

Role of YbeY in Yersinia enterocolitica O:3

Project description:In order to detect genes that are directly or indirectly affected by the inactivation of the ybeY gene the transcriptomes of the WT and ybeY bacteria grown at 22°C and 37°C were determined. The two temperatures were chosen since temperature is an important cue regulating the virulence genes. When comparing the WT and ybeY mutant strain transcriptomes of bacteria grown at 22°C we found changes in the expression of 350 genes in the ybeY bacteria, out of which 121 (34.6%) were up-regulated and 229 (65.4%) down-regulated. At 37°C 334 genes in the ybeY bacteria showed changes, out of which 48 (14.4%) were up-regulated and 286 (85.6%) down-regulated. Expression of 92 genes was changed at both temperatures, of these 92 genes, 12 were up- and 80 down-regulated.

Role of RfaH in Yersinia enterocolitica O:3

Project description:To assess the effects of rfaH mutation on gene expression, RNA sequencing was carried out using the RNA extracted from rfaH mutant and wild type bacteria cultivated at both 22˚C and 37˚C. Additionally, to differentiate between genes affected directly by the rfaH mutation and those affected by the O-antigen negative phenotype, the Y. enterocolitica O:3 strain YeO3-R1 missing the O-antigen was included in the RNA-sequencing study. At RT-grown bacteria altogether 77 (45 up- and 32 down-regulated) differentially expressed genes were identified. At 37ºC, on the other hand, 44 genes were differentially expressed; 14 genes up- and 30 genes down-regulated. The RNA-sequencing data of YeO3-R1 was available only for bacteria grown at 22˚C and the comparison revealed that 22 of the 102 genes were similarly differentially expressed both in rfaH and YeO3-R1 mutants. To detect genes regulated directly or indirectly by Hfq, deep RNA-seq was performed with RNA isolated from Y. enterocolitica wild-type strain 6471/76 and the YeO3-hfq::Km strain. Total RNA was isolated from two biological replicas of bacteria grown in LB to logarithmic phase (OD600 = 0.6) at two different temperatures, RT and 37°C. knocking out of Hfq affected the transcription of 346 genes at RT and 541 genes at 37°C, i.e., ca. 8 and 12.5 % of the Y. enterocolitica genes, respectively. At RT, of the 346 genes 216 genes were down- and 132 up-regulated, and at 37°C, of the 541 genes, 96 were down- and 445 up-regulated. A total of 95 genes were differentially expressed both at RT and 37°C; 27 showed down- and 59 up-regulated. For 9 genes opposite changes took place depending on the growth temperature.

Homology analysis of pathogenic Yersinia species Yersinia enterocolitica, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia pestis based on multilocus sequence typing.

Project description:We developed a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme and used it to study the population structure and evolutionary relationships of three pathogenic Yersinia species. MLST of these three Yersinia species showed a complex of two clusters, one composed of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Yersinia pestis and the other composed of Yersinia enterocolitica. Within the first cluster, the predominant Y. pestis sequence type 90 (ST90) was linked to Y. pseudotuberculosis ST43 by one locus difference, and 81.25% of the ST43 strains were from serotype O:1b, supporting the hypothesis that Y. pestis descended from the O:1b serotype of Y. pseudotuberculosis. We also found that the worldwide-prevalent serotypes O:1a, O:1b, and O:3 were predominated by specific STs. The second cluster consisted of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Y. enterocolitica strains, two of which may not have identical STs. The pathogenic Y. enterocolitica strains formed a relatively conserved group; most strains clustered within ST186 and ST187. Serotypes O:3, O:8, and O:9 were separated into three distinct blocks. Nonpathogenic Y. enterocolitica STs were more heterogeneous, reflecting genetic diversity through evolution. By providing a better and effective MLST procedure for use with the Yersinia community, valuable information and insights into the genetic evolutionary differences of these pathogens were obtained.
