Transcriptional profiling by RNA-seq of A. baumannii AB5075 wild-type, abaI::Tn26 and ∆abaM::Tn26 QS mutants.

ABSTRACT: Acinetobacter baumannii possesses a single divergent luxR/luxI-type quorum sensing (QS) locus named abaR/abaI. This locus also contains a third gene located between abaR and abaI which we term abaM that codes for an uncharacterized member of the RsaM protein family known to regulate N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) dependent QS and the expression of diverse genes in other β- and γ-proteobacteria. However, abaM has never been charatcerized in Acinetobacter baumannii, and the studies about the regulon of abaI are limited. In this study we revealed that AbaM differentially regulates at least 76 genes including the csu pilus operon and the acinetin 505 lipopeptide biosynthetic operon, that are involved in surface adherence, biofilm formation and virulence. A comparison of the wild type, abaM::Tn26 and abaI::Tn26 transcriptomes, indicates that AbaM regulates ~21% of the QS regulon including the csu operon. Moreover, the QS genes (abaI/abaR) were among the most upregulated in the abaM::Tn26 mutant. Overall, our data suggests that abaM is a key regulator of Acinetobacter baumannii QS and gene expression.

Transcriptomic profiling by RNA-seq of A. baumannii 17978 wild-type, and ∆A1S_1874 mutants.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii A1S_1874 gene encodes as a LysR-type transcriptional regulator. LysR family regulators known to regulate biofilm formation, antibiotic resistance, and the expression of diverse genes in other Gram-negative bacteria. However, A1S-1874 has never been characterized in Acinetobacter baumannii, and the studies about the regulon of A1S-1874 are not discovered. In this study we revealed that A1S_1874 differentially regulates at least 302 genes including the csu pilus operon, N-acylhomoserine lactone synthese gene, A1S_0112-A1S_0118 operon, type 1v secretion system related genes that are involved in biofilm formation, surface motility, adherence, quorum sensing and virulence. Overall, our data suggests that A1S-1874 is a key regulator of Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm formation and gene expression.

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.

Transcription regulation by CavA cyclase in Acinetobacter baumannii AB5075

Project description:We perform RNA-seq for comparison of deleted cavA wiht empty vector and complemented strains in A. baumannii AB5075 in order to assess the transcription regulation uder the control of this cyclase. A. baumannii AB5075 ΔcavA EV and ΔcavA+cavA cultures were grown in LB medium with 1mM IPTG (3 biological replicates per strain) until reaching mid-exponential phase. At this point, cells were harvested, treated with RNAlate for preservation of total RNA and stored at -80 C. After that, total RNA was extracted from each sample. The results showed 234 differentially expressed genes of which 143 were upregulated and 91 were downregulated in the ΔcavA+cavA complemented strain compared to the deleted cavA mutant harbouring empty vector (ΔcavA EV). The gene functional groups showing the strongest transcriptional alterations were those related to twitching motility (upregulation of genes involves in biogenesis and control of Type IV pili and com genes) as well as biofilm formation, exopolysaccharides production and fimbriae biogenesis (downregulation of csu operon, pga operon and ABUW_2052-2055). Also, genes related to inter- and intracellular signalling were differentially expressed. Cyclic AMP response regulator vfr and genes involved in c-di-GMP synthesis (ABUW_2135) and degradation (ABUW_1138) were upregulated while another gene linked to c-di-GMP degradation (ABUW_2631) and autoinducer synthase encoding gene abaI (part of the quorum sensing signalling system) were downregulated.

Influence of the pqs genes on Pseudomonas quorum sensing

Project description:The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has complex quorum sensing (QS) circuitry, which involves two acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) systems, the LasI AHL synthase and LasR AHL-dependent transcriptional activator system and the RhlI AHL synthase-RhlR AHL-responsive transcriptional activator. There is also a quinoline signaling system (the Pseudomonas quinolone signal, PQS, system). Although there is a core set of genes regulated by the AHL circuits, there is substantial strain-to-strain variation in the non-core QS regulated genes. Reductive evolution of the QS regulon, and variation in specific genes activated by QS occurs in laboratory evolution experiments with the model strain PAO1. We used a transcriptomics approach to test the hypothesis that reductive evolution in the PAO1 QS regulon can in large part be explained by a simple null mutation in pqsR, the gene encoding the transcriptional activator of the pqs operon. We found that PqsR had very little influence on the AHL QS regulon. This was a surprising finding because the last gene in the PqsR-dependent pqs operon, pqsE, codes for a protein, which physically interacts with RhlR and this interaction is required for full RhlR-dependent activation of some genes. We used comparative transcriptomics to examine the influence of a pqsE mutation on the QS regulon and identified only three transcripts, which were strictly dependent on PqsE. By using reporter constructs we showed that the PqsE influence on other genes was dependent on experimental conditions and we have gained some insight about those conditions. This work adds to our understanding of the plasticity of the P. aeruginosa QS regulon and to the role PqsE plays in RhlR-dependent gene activation.

The abaI/abaR quorum sensing system effects pathogenicity in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative pathogen that has emerged as one of the most troublesome pathogens for health care institutions globally. Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell-to-cell communication that relies on the production, secretion and detection of autoinducer (AI) signals to share information about cell density and regulate gene expression accordingly. The molecular and genetic basis of Acinetobacter baumannii virulence remains poorly understood. Therefore, the contribution of the abaI/abaR quorum sensing system to growth characteristics, morphology, biofilm formation, resistance, motility and virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii was studied in detail. RNA-seq analysis indicated that genes involved in various aspects of energy production and conversion, Valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation and lipid transport and metabolism are associated with bacterial pathogenicity. Our work provides a new insight into abaI/abaR quorum sensing system effects pathogenicity in A. baumannii. We propose that targeting the AHL synthase enzyme abaI could provide an effective strategy for attenuating virulence. On the contrary, interdicting the autoinducer synthase–receptor abaR elicits unpredictable consequences, which may lead to enhanced bacterial virulence.

Effect of the LuxI/R gene on AHL-signaling Molecules and QS Regulatory Mechanism in Hafnia alvei H4

Project description:Hafnia alvei H4 is a bacteria subject to regulation by N-acyl-l-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing system and is closely related to the corruption of instant sea cucumber. Studying the effect of Hafnia alvei H4 quorum sensing regulatory genes on AHLs is necessary for the quality and preservation of instant sea cucumber. In this study, the draft genome of H. alvei H4, which comprises a single chromosome of 4,687,151 bp, was sequenced and analyzed and the types of AHLs were analyzed employing thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and LC-MS/MS. Then the wild-type strain of H. alvei H4 and the luxI/R double mutant (ΔluxIR) were compared by transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). The results indicate that the incomplete genome sequence revealed the presence of one quorum-sensing (QS) gene set, designated as lasI/expR. Three major AHLs, N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL), N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone (C4-HSL), and N-(3-oxo-octanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C8-HSL) were found, with C6-HSL being the most abundant. C6-HSL was not detected in the culture of the luxI mutant (ΔluxI) and higher levels of C4-HSL was found in the culture of the luxR mutant (ΔluxR), which suggested that the luxR gene may have a positive effect on C4-HSL production. It was also found that AHL and QS genes are closely related in the absence of luxIR double deletion. The results of this study can further elucidate at the genetic level that luxI and luxR genes are involved in the regulation of AHL.
