The phage-encoded protein PIT2 impacts bacterial quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by direct interaction with LasR

Project description:Quorum sensing (QS) is the cell density-dependent virulence factor regulator in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we elucidate PIT2, a phage-encoded inhibitor of the QS regulator LasR, derived from the lytic Pseudomonas phage LMA2. PIT2 inhibits the effectors PrpL and LasA of the type 2 secretion system of P. aeruginosa and attenuates bacterial virulence towards HeLa cells and in Galleria mellonella. Using RNAseq-based differential gene expression analysis, the effect of PIT2 on the LasR regulatory network was revealed. Moreover, the specific interaction between LasR and PIT2 was determined. These data expand our knowledge on phage-encoded modulators of the bacterial metabolism, as this examples an anti-virulence protein derived from a lytic phage. From an applied perspective, this phage protein reveals and exploits an interesting anti-virulence target in P. aeruginosa. As such, it lays the foundation for a new phage-inspired anti-virulence strategy to combat multidrug resistant pathogens and opens the door for SynBio applications.

Biological characterization of virulent therapeutic bacteriophage PAK_P3 infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:We have isolated and characterized several bacteriophages infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa distantly related to Felix O1 virus and proposed they form a new subfamily named Felixounavirinae. The infectious cycle of bacteriophages belonging to this subfamily has not been studied yet in terms of gene expression. The present study reports the RNA-Seq analysis of bacteriophage PAK_P3 infecting PAK strain of P. aeruginosa. RNA profile of Host and Phage at 0min, 3.5min and 13 min after infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK strain with the Pseudomonas phage PAK P3. Three biological replicates for each time point.

Transcriptomic and Metabolomics Profiling of Phage–Host Interactions between Phage PaP1 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:The basic biology of bacteriophage–host interactions has attracted increasing attention due to a renewed interest in the therapeutic potential of bacteriophages. In addition, knowledge of the host pathways inhibited by phage may provide clues to novel drug targets. However, the effect of phage on bacterial gene expression and metabolism is still poorly understood. In this study, we tracked phage–host interactions by combining transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected with a lytic bacteriophage, PaP1. Compared with the uninfected host, 7.1% (399/5655) of the genes of the phage-infected host were differentially expressed genes (DEGs); of those, 354 DEGs were downregulated at the late infection phase. Many of the downregulated DEGs were found in amino acid and energy metabolism pathways. Using metabolomics approach, we then analyzed the changes in metabolite levels in the PaP1-infected host compared to un-infected controls. Thymidine was significantly increased in the host after PaP1 infection, results that were further supported by increased expression of a PaP1-encoded thymidylate synthase gene. Furthermore, the intracellular betaine concentration was drastically reduced, whereas choline increased, presumably due to downregulation of the choline–glycine betaine pathway. Interestingly, the choline–glycine betaine pathway is a potential antimicrobial target; previous studies have shown that betB inhibition results in the depletion of betaine and the accumulation of betaine aldehyde, the combination of which is toxic to P. aeruginosa. These results present a detailed description of an example of phage-directed metabolism in P. aeruginosa. Both phage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes and phage-directed host gene expression may contribute to the metabolic changes observed in the host.

The phage-encoded PIT4 protein impacts the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pili by affecting different two-component systems

Project description:Two component systems (TCSs) control a large proportion of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Yet, investigations on inhibitors of regulatory pathways of TCS remain scare, despite their potential in anti-virulence strategies. This work encompasses the working mechanism of PIT4, a protein derived from the lytic P. aeruginosa phage LSL4. This viral protein inhibits bacterial motility and in particular twitching motility, while reducing the virulence of P. aeruginosa towards HeLa cells. Via differential gene expression and a yeast two-hybrid screen, PIT4 was shown to interact with components of different two component systems. In one-on-one interaction assays, it was confirmed that PIT4 interacts with the histidine kinases FleS, PilS and PA2882, through interaction with the histidine kinase domain. As such, this work highlights the potential of previously unknown phage proteins in virulence regulation of multidrug resistant pathogens that might be exploited for anti-virulence strategies and biotechnological applications.

RNA-Seq analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 cells infected with PhiKZ phage

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PhiKZ is the type representative of the M-bM-^@M-^XgiantM-bM-^@M-^Y phage genus with unusually large virions and genomes. By unraveling the transcriptional map of the 280 kb genome to single-nucleotide resolution, we show that it encodes 369 genes organized in 134 operons, 20% more than originally annotated. Early transcription is initiated from 28 highly conserved AT-rich promoters distributed over the PhiKZ genome, all located on the same strand. Transcription of middle and late genes is dependent on protein synthesis and mediated by very poorly conserved middle (6) and late (16) promoters. As a result of massive PhiKZ transcription, halfway through infection only 1.5% of all mRNAs in the infected cell remain bacterial. Unique to PhiKZ is its ability to complete its infection in complete absence of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) enzyme activity. Its transcription is performed by the consecutive action of two PhiKZ-encoded, non-canonical RNAPs, one of which is packed within the virion. This unique, rifampicin-resistant transcriptional machinery is conserved among giant viruses, seems to function without auxiliary factors and might have its origin preceding the split between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Construction of transcription maps for the PhiKZ phage and analysis of differential expression of host and phage genes using RNA-Seq data from samples taken in duplicate at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 35 minutes into infection.

The repressor C protein, Pf4r, controls superinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 by the Pf4 filamentous phage and regulates host gene expression

Project description:It has been shown that the filamentous phage, Pf4, plays an important role in biofilm development, stress tolerance, genetic variant formation and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. These behaviours are linked to the appearance of superinfective phage variants. Here, we have investigated the molecular mechanism of superinfection as well as how the Pf4 phage can control host gene expression to modulate host behaviours. Pf4 exists as a prophage in PAO1 and encodes a homolog of the P2 phage repressor C. Through a combination of molecular techniques, ChIPseq and transcriptomic analyses, we show that repressor C (Pf4r) is the minimal factor for immunity against reinfection by Pf4 possibly through Pf4r binding to its putative promoter region, and that Pf4r also functions as a transcriptional regulator for expression of host genes. A binding motif for Pf4r was also identified. In wild type P. aeruginosa and Pfr4 complemented Pf4 deficient mutant strains, virulence factor related genes including phenazine and type VI secretion system effectors were upregulated, potentially explaining the reduced virulence of Pf4-deficient P. aeruginosa PAO1. X-ray crystal structure analysis shows that Pf4r forms symmetric homo-dimers homologous to the E.coli bacteriophage P2 RepC protein. A mutation associated with the superinfective Pf4r variant, found at the dimer interface, suggests dimer formation may be disrupted, which derepresses phage replication. This is supported by MALS analysis where the Pf4r* protein only shows monomer formation. Collectively, these data suggest the mechanism by which filamentous phages play such an important role in P. aeruginosa biofilm development.
