Differential gene expression patterns of Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis during infection and biofilm formation in the flea digestive tract

Project description:Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, emerged as a flea-borne pathogen only within the last 6,000 years. Just five simple genetic changes in the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis progenitor, which served to eliminate toxicity to fleas and to enhance survival and biofilm formation in the flea digestive tract, were key to the transition to the arthropod-borne transmission route. To gain a deeper understanding of the genetic basis for the development of a transmissible biofilm infection in the flea foregut, we evaluated additional gene differences and performed in vivo transcriptional profiling of Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis wild-type (unable to form biofilm in the flea foregut), and a Y. pseudotuberculosis mutant strain (able to produce foregut-blocking biofilm in fleas) recovered from fleas 1 day and 14 days after an infectious bloodmeal. Surprisingly, the Y. pseudotuberculosis mutations that increased c-di-GMP levels and enabled biofilm development in the flea did not change expression levels of the hms genes responsible for the synthesis and export of the extracellular polysaccharide matrix required for mature biofilm formation. The Y. pseudotuberculosis mutant uniquely expressed much higher levels of one of the Yersinia Type VI secretion systems (T6SS-4) in the flea, and this locus was required for flea blockage by Y. pseudotuberculosis, but not by Y. pestis. Significant differences between the two species in expression of several metabolism genes, the Psa fimbrial genes, quorum sensing related genes, transcriptional regulators, and stress response genes were evident during flea infection. The results provide insights into how Y. pestis has adapted to life in its flea vector and point to evolutionary changes in the regulation of biofilm development pathways in these two closely related species

Transcriptional analysis of ypeIR mutation in Yersinia pestis at 37°C

Project description:The etiologic agent of bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, senses cell density-dependent chemical signals to synchronize transcription between cells of the population in a process named quorum sensing. Though the closely related enteric pathogen Y. pseudotuberculosis uses quorum sensing system to regulate motility, the role of YpeIR quorum sensing in Y. pestis has been unclear. YpeIR is one of the AHL quorum sensing system in Y. pestis. In this study we performed transcriptional profiling experiments to identify Y. pestis YpeIR quorum sensing regulated functions at 37°C.

Preadaptation of Yersinia pestis to resist mammalian innate immunity during transit through the flea vector

Project description:Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, is transmitted to mammals by infected fleas. Y. pestis exhibits a distinct life stage in the flea, where it grows in the form of a cohesive biofilm that promotes transmission. After transmission, the temperature shift to 37°C induces many known virulence factors of Y. pestis that confer resistance to innate immunity. These factors are not produced in the low-temperature environment of the flea, however, suggesting that Y. pestis is vulnerable to the initial encounter with innate immune cells at the flea bite site. In this study, we used whole-genome microarrays to compare the Y. pestis in vivo transcriptome in infective fleas to in vitro transcriptomes in temperature-matched biofilm and planktonic cultures, and to the previously characterized in vivo gene expression profile in the rat bubo. In addition to genes involved in metabolic adaptation to the flea gut and biofilm formation, several genes with known or predicted roles in resistance to innate immunity and pathogenicity in the mammal were upregulated in the flea. Y. pestis from infected fleas were more resistant to phagocytosis than in vitro-grown bacteria, which was largely attributable to a cluster of insecticidal-like toxin genes that were highly expressed only in the flea. Our results indicate that cycling through the flea vector preadapts Y. pestis to face the mammalian innate immune response that it encounters immediately after transmission.

Transcriptional analysis of temperature regulation in Yersinia pestis

Project description:Temperature is a key environmental factor for facultative pathogens during the host adaptation response. To assess the functional role of temperature in Yersinia pestis, a microarray study was conducted comparing the Δpgm (pigmentation-negative) R88 strain grown at 37°C or 30°C.

Role of the Yersinia pestis Phospholipase D (Ymt) in the Initial Aggregation Step of Biofilm Formation in the Flea

Project description:Transmission of Yersinia pestis by fleas depends on the formation of condensed bacterial aggregates embedded within a gel-like matrix that localize to the proventricular valve in the flea foregut and interfere with normal blood feeding.The matrix of the bacterial aggregates is complex,containing large amounts of protein and lipid (particularly cholesterol) derived from the flea's blood meal. The goal of this study was to biochemically characterize the EPS of the Y. pestis aggregates that form after infection and to identify factors required for this initial stage of biofilm formation.

Global gene expression analysis of Yersinia pestis AHL quorum sensing at 37°C

Project description:Quorum sensing is a cell to cell communication process that involves chemical signaling. Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, has two functional AHL quorum sensing systems Ysp and Ype. For several reasons, it was not clear what effect AHL pathways have on virulence gene expression and survival in the two different hosts, flea and human. To investigate to what effect AHL quorum sensing has on gene expression, we conducted microarray studies comparing Yersinia pestis CO92 (∆pgm) to a double AHL mutant strain (∆pgm ΔypeIR ΔyspIR) at 37°C.
