The Transcriptomic Signature of Tigecycline in Acinetobacter baumannii

ABSTRACT: Tigecycline, a protein translation inhibitor, is a treatment of last resort for infections caused by the opportunistic multidrug resistant human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. However, strains resistant to tigecycline were reported not long after its clinical introduction. Translation inhibitor antibiotics perturb ribosome function and induce the reduction of (p)ppGpp, an alarmone involved in the stringent response that negatively modulates ribosome production. Through RNA sequencing, this study revealed a significant reduction in the transcription of genes in citric acid cycle and cell respiration, suggesting tigecycline inhibits or slows down bacterial growth. Our results indicated that the drug-induced reduction of (p)ppGpp level promoted the production but diminished the degradation of ribosomes, which mitigates the translational inhibition effect by tigecycline. The reduction of (p)ppGpp also led to a decrease of transcription coupled nucleotide excision repair which likely increases the chances of development of tigecycline resistant mutants. Increased expression of genes linked to horizontal gene transfer were also observed. The most upregulated gene, rtcB, involving in RNA repair, is either a direct tigecycline stress response or is in response to the transcription de-repression of a toxin-antitoxin system. The most down-regulated genes encode two b-lactamases, which is a possible by-product of tigecycline-induced reduction in transcription of genes associated with peptidoglycan biogenesis. This transcriptomics study provides a global genetic view of why A. baumannii is able to rapidly develop tigecycline resistance.

ppGpp signal plays critical role in pathogenesis of Acinetobacter baumannii 17978

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of nosocomial infections which can survive in different hospital environments and its multidrug-resistant capacity is major concern now-a-days. ppGpp dependent stringent response mediates reprogramming of gene expression with diverse function in many bacteria. A baumannii A1S_0579 gene is responsible for ppGpp production. Transcriptome analysis of early stationary phase cultures represents several differentially expressed genes in ppGpp deficient strain (∆A1S_0579). We found that the expression of csu operon, which is important in pili biosynthesis for early biofilm formation, was significantly reduced in the ppGpp-deficient strain. Our findings showed that ppGpp signaling plays critical role in biofilm formation, surface motility, adherence and virulence of A baumannii. This study is the first demonstration of the association between ppGpp and pathogenicity of A. baumannii.

The stringent response inhibits DNA replication initiation in E. coli by modulating supercoiling of oriC

Project description:The stringent response enables bacteria to respond to a variety of environmental stresses, especially various forms of nutrient limitation. During the stringent response the cell produces large quantities of the nucleotide alarmone ppGpp, which modulates many aspects of cell physiology, including reprogramming transcription, blocking protein translation, and inhibiting new rounds of DNA replication. The mechanism by which ppGpp inhibits DNA replication initiation in Escherichia coli remains unclear. Prior work suggested that ppGpp blocks new rounds of DNA replication by inhibiting transcription of the essential initiation factor dnaA, but we found that replication is still inhibited by ppGpp in cells ectopically producing DnaA. Instead, we provide evidence that a global reduction of transcription by ppGpp prevents replication initiation by modulating the supercoiling state of the origin of replication, oriC. Active transcription normally introduces negative supercoils into oriC to help promote replication initiation, so the accumulation of ppGpp reduces initiation potential at oriC. We find that maintaining transcription near oriC, either by expressing a ppGpp-blind RNA polymerase mutant or by inducing transcription from a ppGpp-insensitive promoter, can strongly bypass the inhibition of replication by ppGpp. Additionally, we show that increasing global negative supercoiling by inhibiting topoisomerase I or by deleting the nucleoid-associated protein seqA, also relieves inhibition. We propose a model, potentially conserved across proteobacteria, in which ppGpp indirectly creates an unfavorable energy landscape for initiation by preventing the introduction of negative supercoils into oriC.

iTRAQ based proteomic analysis to reveal the mechanism of tigecycline resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:The antibiotic resistance of A. baumannii has been increasing in recent years. There are still many questions unclear concerning the mechanism of tigecycline resistance in A. baumannii. iTRAQ based proteomic analysis were used to reveal the mechanism of tigecycline resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii.

(p)ppGpp controls stringent factors by exploiting antagonistic allosteric coupling between catalytic domains

Project description:Escherichia coli RelA is a ribosomal factor with strong (p)ppGpp synthesis activity that is dramatically activated in the presence of deacylated tRNA in the ribosomal A-site. RelA is a unique enzyme in that it is directly positively regulated by its product, alarmone nucleotide (p)ppGpp. Using HDX-MS, mulecular docking, biochemsitry, and microbiology approaches, we localise the (p)ppGpp binding site of E. coli RelA and uncover the molecular mechanism of RelA regulation by the alarmone.

The alarmone (p)ppGpp is part of the heat shock response of Bacillus subtilis

Project description:Here, B. subtilis was used as a model organism to investigate how cells respond and adapt to proteotoxic stress conditions. Our experiments suggested that the stringent response, caused by raised levels of the (p)ppGpp alarmone, plays a role during thermotolerance development and the heat shock response. Accordingly, our experiments revealed a rapid increase of cellular (p)ppGpp levels upon heat shock as well as salt- and oxidative stress. Strains lacking (p)ppGpp exhibited increased stress sensitivity, while raised (p)ppGpp levels conferred increased stress tolerance to heat- and oxidative stress. During thermotolerance development, stress response genes were highly up-regulated together with a concurrent transcriptional down-regulation of the rRNA, which was influenced by the second messenger (p)ppGpp and the transcription factor Spx. Remarkably, we observed that (p)ppGpp appeared to control the cellular translational capacity and that during heat stress the raised cellular levels of the alarmone were able to curb the rate of protein synthesis. Furthermore, (p)ppGpp controls the heat-induced expression of Hpf and thus the formation of translationally inactive 100S disomes. These results indicate that B. subtilis cells respond to heat-mediated protein unfolding and aggregation, not only by raising the cellular repair capacity, but also by decreasing translation involving (p)ppGpp mediated stringent response to concurrently reduce the protein load for the cellular protein quality control system.

Comparing the transcriptional profiles of a Caulobacter crescentus CB15N (NA1000) wild-type to a SpoT null in carbon starvation.

Project description:SpoT is an Rsh (Rel / Spo homolog) protein, which synthesizes the alarmone ppGpp in response to starvation. This experiment is quantifying transcription in two Caulobacter strains after 5 minutes of glucose starvation: one strain is wild-type CB15N (NA1000); the other strain is NA1000 which has a chromosomal in-frame deletion of the spoT gene. The wild-type strain can synthesize the alarmone ppGpp in response to starvation and the spoT null strain cannot. Both strains were cultured in M2 defined medium with glucose as the sole carbon source, and then washed and incubated in M2 medium lacking glucose for 5 minutes before RNA isolation.

Project description:The impact on gene expression by the alarmone (p)ppGpp during growth and non-growth was determined by comparing the transcriptome of R. etli CFN42 wild type and rel mutant.
