Catabolite repression by intracellular succinate in Campylobacter jejuni

ABSTRACT: Bacteria have evolved different mechanisms to catabolize carbon sources from a mixture of nutrients. They first consume their preferred carbon source, before others are used. Regulatory mechanisms adapt the metabolism accordingly to maximize growth and to outcompete other organisms. The human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is an asaccharolytic Gram-negative bacterium that catabolizes amino acids and organic acids for growth. It prefers serine and aspartate as carbon sources, however it lacks all regulators known to be involved in regulating carbon source utilization in other organisms. In which manner C. jejuni adapts its metabolism towards the presence or absence of preferred carbon sources is unknown. In this study, we show with transcriptomic analysis and enzyme assays how C. jejuni adapts its metabolism in response to its preferred carbon source serine. In the presence of serine as well as lactate and pyruvate C. jejuni represses the utilization of other carbon sources, by repressing the expression of a number of central metabolic enzymes. The regulatory proteins RacR, Cj1000 and CsrA play a role in the regulation of these metabolic enzymes. This metabolism dependent transcriptional repression correlates with an accumulation of intracellular succinate. Hence, we propose a demand-based catabolite repression mechanism in C. jejuni, which depends on the intracellular succinate level.

Identifying candidate genes whose expression is regulated by CbrAB and NtrBC in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25

Project description:Histidine is a good source of nutrient for many bacteria, but its utilization poses a significant challenge as it delivers excess nitrogen over carbon. The rate of histidine catabolism (hut) must thus be tightly regulated. Here, in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, we show that the CbrAB two-component system directly activates the transcription of hut genes, while mediating succinate-induced carbon catabolite repression of hut at the translational level via the CbrAB-CrcYZ-Hfq/Crc regulatory cascade. When growing in minimal salt medium supplemented with histidine and succinate (the most preferred carbon source), the CbrAB-mediated promoter activity is weak; and the global nitrogen regulator NtrBC plays the dominant role in directly activating hut transcription.

The Crc/CrcZ-CrcY global regulatory system helps integrating gluconeogenic and glycolytic metabolism in Pseudomonas putida

Project description:In metabolically versatile bacteria, carbon catabolite repression (CCR) facilitates the preferential assimilation of the most efficient carbon sources, improving growth rate and fitness. In Pseudomonas putida, the Crc protein and the CrcZ and CrcY small RNAs (sRNAs), which are believed to antagonise Crc, are key players in CCR. Contrary to what occurs in other bacterial species, succinate or glucose elicit a weak CCR in this bacterium. We combined metabolic, transcriptomics and constraints-based metabolic flux analyses to clarify whether P. putida prefers succinate or glucose, and the role of the Crc/CrcZ-CrcY regulatory system in their metabolization. Succinate was consumed faster than glucose and allowed a higher growth rate. However, both compounds were co-metabolised when provided simultaneously. The levels of CrcZ and CrcY were lower when both substrates were present than when only one of them was provided, suggesting a role for Crc in coordinating metabolism. Metabolic reconstructions suggested that, when both substrates are present, Crc works to organize a metabolism in which carbon compounds flow in two opposite directions: from glucose to pyruvate, and from succinate to pyruvate. Therefore, Crc serves not only to favour the assimilation of preferred compounds, but also to balance the carbon fluxes, optimising metabolism and growth.

Transcriptomic analysis of Campylobacter jejuni grown in medium containing serine as a main energy source

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most important causes of food-borne diseases in industrialized countries. It is known that amino acids are important nutrient source for this pathogen, because C. jejuni lacks enzymes related to glycolysis. However, the characteristics on metabolism of C. jejuni grown in the nutrient restricted medium with a specific amino acid is not fully elucidated. This study shows that C. jejuni NCTC11168 grew well in the nutrient restricted medium containing serine, aspartate, glutamate, and proline. The single subtraction of serine significantly reduced the growth, while three other amino acids did not, suggesting the priority of serine among the four amino acids. In the transcriptomic analysis of C. jejuni NCTC11168 grown in medium with serine as a main energy source. Serine seemed to be sensed by some chemoreceptors and the C. jejuni might reached an adaptation stage with active growth. That is, the expression of flagellar assembly components was downregulated and the biosynthesis of multiple amino acids and nucleotide sugars were upregulated. These data suggest the higher requirement of serine as a nutrient of C. jejuni NCTC11168.

Adaptively evolved yeast mutants on galactose shows trade-offs in carbon utilization on glucose.

Project description:Exploring molecular details of carbon utilization trade-offs in galactose-evolved yeast Adaptively evolved yeast mutants on galactose for around 400 generations showed diminished growth and carbon uptake rates on glucose. Genome-scale approaches were applied to characterize the molecular genetic basis of these trade-offs in carbon source utilization. Engineered mutants showing trade-offs in a specific carbon uptake rate between both carbons were used as controls. The transcriptional responses of the evolved mutants were almost identical during growth on both carbon sources. These carbon-independent conserved patterns were clearly observed in specific pathways and genes. Up-regulation of PGM2, a confirmed beneficial genetic change for improving galactose utilization was preserved on both carbons. In addition, HXK1, GLK1 and genes involved in reserve carbohydrate metabolism were up-regulated, while HXK2 was down-regulated. Genes that have a transcription factor binding site for Gis1p, Rph1p, Msn2/4p and Nrg1p were up-regulated. These results indicated changes in the metabolic pathways involved in metabolism of both carbons and in nutrient signaling pathway. The concentration profile of trehalose and glycogen supported these findings. Mutations in RAS2 and ERG5 genes were selected because of their beneficial and neutral effect on galactose utilization, respectively in our previous study. Site-directed mutants containing galactose-beneficial mutations in RAS2 only resulted in a significant decrease in glucose utilization. Integration of all these analyses clearly suggest an antagonistic pleiotropic trade-off in carbon source utilization caused by changes in regulatory region, and we hereby demonstrate how systems biology can be used to gain insight into evolutionary processes at the molecular level. Yeast galactose evolved mutants having improved galactose availability were grown on aerobic batch with glucose as carbon source

Transcript and Proteomic Analyses of Wild-Type and GPA2 Mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains

Project description:In response to limited nitrogen and abundant carbon sources, diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains undergo a filamentous transition in cell growth as part of pseudohyphal differentiation. Use of the disaccharide maltose as the principal carbon source, in contrast to the preferred nutrient monosaccharide glucose, has been shown to induce a hyper-filamentous growth phenotype in a strain deficient for GPA2 which codes for a Galpha protein component that interacts with the glucose-sensing receptor Gpr1p to regulate filamentous growth. In this report, we compare the global transcript and proteomic profiles of wild-type and Gpa2p deficient diploid yeast strains grown on both rich and nitrogen starved maltose media. We find that deletion of GPA2 results in significantly different transcript and protein profiles when switching from rich to nitrogen starvation media. The results are discussed with a focus on the genes associated with carbon utilization, or regulation thereof, and a model for the contribution of carbon sensing/metabolism-based signal transduction to pseudohyphal differentiation is proposed. Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nitrogen starvation, maltose, pseudohyphal differentiation, yeast, expression profiling

Proteomic characterization of the Pseudomonas sp. strain phDV1 response to monocyclic aromatic compounds

Project description:The degradation of aromatic compounds comprises an important step in the removal of pollutants and re-utilization of plastics and other non-biological polymers. Here we set out to study Pseudomonas sp. strain phDV1, a gram-negative bacterium that was selected for its ability to degrade aromatic compounds. In order to understand how the aromatic compounds and their degradation products are reintroduced in the metabolism of the bacteria and the systematic/metabolic response of the bacterium to the new carbon source, the proteome of this strain was analysed in the presence of succinate, phenol and o-, m-, p-cresol as sole carbon source. We then applied label-free quantitative proteomics to monitor overall proteome remodeling during metabolic adaptation to different carbon sources. As a reference proteome, we grew the bacteria in succinate and then compared the respective proteomes of bacteria grown on phenol and different cresols. In total, we identified 2295 proteins; 1908 proteins were used for quantification between different growth conditions. We found that 70, 100, 150 and 155 proteins were significantly differentially expressed in cells were grown in phenol, o-, m- and p-cresol-containing medium, respectively. The carbon source affected the synthesis of enzymes related to aromatic compound degradation, and in particular, the enzyme involved in the meta-pathway of monocyclic aromatic compounds degradation. In addition, proteins involved in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), an attractive biomaterial, showed higher expression levels in the presence of monocyclic aromatic compounds.Our results provide for the first time comprehensive information on the proteome response of this strain to monocyclic aromatic compounds.

Novel targets of the CbrAB/Crc carbon catabolite control system revealed by transcript abundance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [BSM]

Project description:The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can utilize several carbon and nitrogen compounds as energy sources, which allows the bacterium to grow on a variety of different environments. Nevertheless, the uptake and utilization of these compounds is organized in a hierarchical manner, which is guaranteed by a mechanism named catabolite repression. In P. aeruginosa catabolite repression is a post-transcriptional process with the translational repressor protein, Crc, as the main component. Crc recognizes CA-motifs (acronym for catabolite activity) present in the vicinity of the ribosome binfing site of corresponding target mRNAs and therefore compete with ribosome binding. Certain conditions, which are mainly related to changes in the carbon to nitrogen ratio, induce the two component system CbrAB, which activates the transcription of the sRNA CrcZ. The sRNA sequesters Crc and allows the translation of the target mRNAs. The main focus of this study was to identify novel direct targets of the CbrAB/Crc system with the use of a transcriptome analysis in combination with the search for CA-motifs. We were able to identify five novel targets (estA, acsA, dctP, bkdR and aroP2), which were involved in the uptake and utilization of less preferred carbon sources and amino acids. Direct interaction of Crc with these genes and the resulting regulation by CbrB and CrcZ were verified using mutational analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments. Moreover, these targets were discussed in the light of growth and biofilm development in synthetic CF sputum medium which emphasised the importance of the CbrAB/Crc system as a regulator of chronic infection. keyword(s): genetic modification Comparative transcriptome analysis with the PAO1 wild type strain and PAO6673 (delta crc), PAO66711 (delta cbrB), PAO6679 (delta crcZ) strains grown in BSM-Succinate medium.
