Transcription Analysis of Clustered Essential Genes

ABSTRACT: All 14 essential genes of chrIII were clustered and reordered, and transcription of the genes was tested. We designed and constructed three types of reorganized essential genes into three different plasmids. For the genomic direction (GD) plasmid, the essential genes were arranged according to their natural chromosomal positions and orientations. For the same direction (SD) plasmid, the essential genes were arrayed in the same positions as GD plasmid, but all genes were assembled in the same direction (SD). For the random direction (RD) plasmid, the essential genes were modularly assembled according to the combined length of three individual genes and thus displayed disorderly. The synIII strains bearing the GD/SD/RD plasmids were phenotypically normal despite of the double expression of 14 essential genes.

RcgA and RcgR, two novel proteins involved in conjugative transfer of rhizobial plasmids

Project description:Rhizobia are gram-negative bacteria able to establish a symbiotic interaction with leguminous plants. Due to their nitrogen fixing capacity, the study of these microorganisms has acquired great relevance for the agriculture. Rhizobia usually harbor many plasmids in their genome which can be transferred to other organisms by conjugation. Two main mechanisms of regulation of rhizobial plasmid transfer have been described: Quorum sensing (QS) and rctA/rctB system. Nevertheless, new genes and molecules that modulate conjugative transfer have been recently described, demonstrating that new actors can tightly regulate the process. In this work, by means of bioinformatics tools and molecular biology approaches, two hypothetical genes are identified as playing key roles in conjugative transfer. These genes are located between conjugative genes of plasmid pLPU83a from Rhizobium favelukesii LPU83, a plasmid that showed a conjugative transfer behavior depending on the genomic background. One of the two mentioned genes, rcgA, is essential for conjugation, while the other, rcgR, acts as an inhibitor of the process. In addition to introducing this new regulatory mechanism, we show evidence of the functions of these genes in different genomic backgrounds, and confirmed that homologous proteins from non-closely related organisms play the same function. These findings set up a cornerstone for a new molecular circuit of conjugative transfer of plasmids.

Control of bacterial phenotype and chromosomal gene expression by single plasmids of Lactococcus lactis IL594

Project description:Plasmid-free Lactococcus lactis IL1403 is one of the best-characterized representatives of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), intensively used in broad microbiology worldwide. Its parent strain, L. lactis IL594, contains seven plasmids (pIL1-pIL7) with resolved DNA sequences and an indicated role for overall plasmid load in enhancing host adaptive potential. To determine how individual plasmids manipulate the expression of phenotypes and chromosomal genes, we conducted global comparative phenotypic analyses combined with transcriptomic studies in plasmid-free L. lactis IL1403, multi-plasmid L. lactis IL594 and its single-plasmid derivatives. The presence of pIL2, pIL4 and pIL5 led to the most pronounced phenotypic differences in the metabolism of several carbon sources, including some β-glycosides and organic acids. The pIL5 plasmid also contributed to increased tolerance to some antimicrobial compounds and heavy metal ions, especially those in the toxic cation group. Comparative transcriptomics showed significant variation in the expression levels of up to 189 chromosomal genes due to the presence of single plasmids, and 435 unique chromosomal genes that are resultant of the activity of all plasmids, which may suggest that the observed phenotypic changes are not only the result of direct action of their own genes, but also originate from indirect actions through cross-talk between plasmids and the chromosome. The data obtained here indicate that plasmid maintenance leads to the development of important mechanisms of global gene regulation that provide changes in the central metabolic pathways and adaptive properties of L. lactis, and suggest the possibility of a similar phenomenon among other groups of bacteria.

Iron acquisition system and cell shape of host bacteria commonly respond to the carriage of three plasmids belonging to different incompatibility groups.

Project description:Plasmids are one of the important mobile genetic elements in bacterial evolution. In this study, to evaluate the generality of the impact of plasmid carriage on host cell between different plasmids, we compared the response of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to harboring three natural plasmids; RP4 (IncP-1, multidrug resistance, 60,099-bp), pCAR1 (IncP-7, carbazole-degradative, 200,231-bp) and NAH7 (IncP-9, naphthalene-degradative, 82,232-bp). We prepared two sets of plasmid-harboring strains from independent conjugation events to elucidate the reproducibility of the impact of the plasmid carriage. As results, the fitness was reduced by the carriage of RP4 and pCAR1 in liquid medium, while it was unaffected or even improved for NAH7-harboring strains. RP4-harboring KT2440 formed smaller colonies than the plasmid-free strain on solid medium (1.6% agar). The host cells were elongated by the carriage of the all plasmids, respectively. Copy number determination by quantitative PCR showed that the amount of each plasmid DNA in the host cell did not differed drastically. Whole genome resequencing showed that 13 SNPs (RP4), 24 SNPs (pCAR1) and 5 SNPs (NAH7) were the total differences between the two substrains for each plasmid-harboring strains. Transcriptome analyses showed that the impact of plasmid carriage was constantly larger in RP4-harboring strain than the other two plasmid-harboring strains. Genes involved in metal acquisition and metabolism were commonly affected by the carriage of the three plasmid. Indeed, plasmid-harboring strains showed greater growth inhibition than plasmid-free strains under iron-limiting condition. This feature could become future target to control plasmid spreading.

Complete genome sequence and the expression pattern of plasmids of the model ethanologen Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 and its xylose-utilizing derivatives 8b and 2032

Project description:In this study, we reported the updated chromosome and plasmid sequence of ZM4, and its two engineered xylose-utilizing strains derivatives (strains 2032 and 8b). The majority of plasmid genes have either homologs from other organisms or some conserved domains. Our bioinformatics analysis suggested that several plasmid genes may be essential genes of ZM4. To further validate the function of these plasmid genes, an RNA-Seq pipeline was developed for Z. mobilis and used to compare the gene expression under various conditions, including anaerobic and aerobic conditions, and in different biomass hydrolysates. Overall, these plasmids genes are more responsive to different concentrated hydrolysates than the different oxygen concentrations tested (such as anaerobic vs. aerobic conditions). Moreover, our results also indicate that the plasmid copy number is affected by growth conditions and foreign gene insertion while the chromosomal gene expression is relatively stable across different conditions in different strain backgrounds.

Plasmid-encoded insertion sequences promote rapid adaptation in clinical enterobacteria

Project description:Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements commonly found in bacteria. Plasmids are known to fuel bacterial evolution through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), but recent analyses indicate that they can also promote intragenomic adaptations. However, the role of plasmids as catalysts of bacterial evolution beyond HGT remains poorly explored. In this study, we investigate the impact of a widespread conjugative plasmid, pOXA-48, on the evolution of various multidrug-resistant clinical enterobacteria. Combining experimental and within-patient evolution analyses, we unveil that plasmid pOXA-48 promotes bacterial evolution through the transposition of plasmid-encoded IS1 elements. Specifically, IS1-mediated gene inactivations expedite the adaptation rate of clinical strains in vitro and foster within-patient adaptation in the gut. We decipher the mechanism underlying the plasmid-mediated surge in IS1 transposition, revealing a negative feedback loop regulated by the genomic copy number of IS1. Given the overrepresentation of IS elements in bacterial plasmids, our findings propose that plasmid-mediated IS transposition represents a crucial mechanism for swift bacterial adaptation.

Plasmid-encoded toxin defence mediates mutualistic microbial interactions

Project description:<p>Gut environments harbour dense microbial ecosystems in which plasmids are widely distributed. Plasmids facilitate the exchange of genetic material among microorganisms while enabling the transfer of a diverse array of accessory functions. However, their precise impact on microbial community composition and function remains largely unexplored. Here we identify a prevalent bacterial toxin and a plasmid-encoded resistance mechanism that mediates the interaction between Lactobacilli and Enterococci. This plasmid is widespread across ecosystems, including the rumen and human gut microbiota. Biochemical characterization of the plasmid revealed a defence mechanism against reuterin, a toxin produced by various gut microbes, such as Limosilactobacillus reuteri. Using a targeted metabolomic approach, we find reuterin to be prevalent across rumen ecosystems with impacts on microbial community structure. Enterococcus strains carrying the protective plasmid were isolated and their interactions with L. reuteri, the toxin producer, were studied in vitro. Interestingly, we found that by conferring resistance against reuterin, the plasmid mediates metabolic exchange between the defending and the attacking microbial species, resulting in a beneficial relationship or mutualism. Hence, we reveal here an ecological role for a plasmid-coded defence system in mediating a beneficial interaction. </p>

Characterization of plasmids mediating carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pretoria, South Africa

Project description:The study aimed to characterize plasmids mediating carbepenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae in Pretoria, South Africa. We analysed 56 K. pneumoniae isolates collected from academic hospital around Pretoria. Based on phenotypic and molecular results of these isolates, 6 representative isolates were chosen for further analysis using long reads sequencing platform. We observed multidrug resistant phenotype in all these isolates, including resistance to aminoglycosides, tetracycline, phenicol, fosfomycin, floroquinolones, and beta-lactams antibiotics. The blaOXA-48/181 and blaNDM-1/7 were manily the plasmid-mediated carbapenemases responsible for carbapenem resistance in the K. pneumoniae isolates in these academic hospitals. These carbapenemase genes were mainly associated with plasmid replicon groups IncF, IncL/M, IncA/C, and IncX3. This study showed plasmid-mediated carbapenemase spread of blaOXA and blaNDM genes mediated by conjugative plasmids in Pretoria hospitals.

A 102 kb RepABC plasmid of xenologous origin modulates chromosomal gene expression in Dinoroseobacter shibae

Project description:The model organism Dinoroseobacter shibae and many other marine Rhodobacterales (Roseobacteraceae, Alphaproteobacteria) are characterized by a multipartite genome organization. Here we show that the original isolate (Dshi-6) contained six extrachromosomal replicons (ECRs), whereas the strain deposited at the DSMZ (Dshi-5) lacked a 102 kb plasmid. To determine the role of the sixth plasmid, we investigated the genomic and physiological differences between the two strains. Therefore, both genomes were (re-)sequenced and gene expression, growth and substrate utilization were examined. For comparison, we included additional plasmid-cured strains in the genome analysis. In the Dshi-6 population, the conjugative 102 kb RepABC-9 plasmid was only present in about 50 % of the cells, irrespective of its experimentally validated stability. In the presence of the sixth plasmid, copy number changes of other ECRs, in particular a decrease of the 86 kb plasmid, were observed. The most conspicuous finding was the strong influence of plasmids on the chromosomal gene expression, especially the repression of the CtrA regulon and the activation of the denitrification gene cluster. The expression is inversely controlled either by the presence of the 102 kb or the absence of the 86 kb plasmid. We identified global regulatory genes on both plasmids, i.e. a sigma 70 factor, and a quorum sensing synthase, that might be responsible for these major changes. The tremendous effects challenge the current understanding of the relevance of volatile plasmids not only for the original host, but also for new recipients after conjugation.

Sequence Requirements for Cascade Function in a Type I-E CRISPR System: Plasmid Loss

Project description:We generated a collection of 13 plasmids, with each plasmid containing a variant of a CRISPR protospacer targeted by spacer 8 of the E. coli CRISPR-I array. We transformed the plasmids as a pool into delta cas3 E. coli cells expressing all other cas genes constitutively. We then transformed these cells with either an empty vector or a plasmid expressing the Cas3 nuclease. DNA surrounding the protospacers was PCR-amplified and sequenced.
