CRISPRi knockdown of essential genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

ABSTRACT: To understand molecular pathways responding to loss of essential proteins in the inner- or outer-membrane, we knocked down essential genes in the inner- and outer membrane using a CRISPRi approach in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. CRISPRi is an inducible system with which even essential genes can be targeted by a specifig sg-RNA. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic changes upon loss of BamA, LptD and FtsH. Loss of BamA and LptD, both outer membrane proteins, resulted in strong upregulation of genes involved in LipidA modification and upregulation of several two component systems. Depletion of FtsH resulted in strong upregulation in genes responsible for amino acid biosynthesis and regulatory genes. Surprisngly, knockdown of bamA and lptD resulted in (mild) upregulation of H1-T6SS genes.

Depletion of BamA activates the RSI circuit in S. meliloti

Project description:The symbiotic relationship between the alpha-proteobacterium S. meliloti and the legume M. truncatula has been extensively studied. However, stress response mechanisms vital to bacterial survival and adaptation are as yet poorly understood. In this study, we sought to characterize the response of S. meliloti to depletion of essential outer membrane protein BamA, which is predicted to cause a loss of outer membrane integrity and an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the periplasm. A total of 132 differentially expressed genes were detected, with 74 genes up-regulated and 58 genes down-regulated. The transcriptomic response to BamA depletion shares similarities to those observed during activation of the RSI circuit, which plays a role in mitigating loss of viability in response to this stress. Induction of genes in the RSI regulon is likely due to a loss of negative regulator ExoR during BamA depletion. The two-component stress response system CpxRA and regulator CpxP also were found to affect the response to BamA depletion.

The antimicrobial peptide Magainin-2 interacts with BamA impairing folding of E. coli membrane proteins

Project description:In this paper we investigated the mechanism of action of Maganin-2 (Mag-2), a well-known antimicrobial peptide isolated from the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis, by functional proteomic approaches. Several proteins belonging to E. coli macromolecular membrane complexes were identified as Mag-2 putative interactors. Among these, we focused our attention on BamA a membrane protein belonging to the BAM complex responsible for the folding and insertion of nascent β‐barrel Outer Membrane Proteins (OMPs) in the outer membrane. In silico predictions by molecular modelling and in vitro fluorescence binding and Light Scattering experiments carried out using a recombinant form of BamA confirmed the formation of a stable Mag-2/BamA complex and indicated a high affinity of the peptide for BamA. The functional implications of these interactions were investigated by two alternative and complementary approaches. The number of outer membrane proteins OmpA and OmpF produced in E. coli following Mag-2 incubation was evaluated by both western blot analysis and quantitative tandem mass spectrometry in MRM scan mode. In both experiments, a gradual decrease in outer membrane protein production with time was observed because of Mag-2 treatment.

A hybrid TIM complex mediates protein import into hydrogenosomes of Trichomonas vaginalis

Project description:Hydrogenosomes are a specific type of mitochondria that have adapted for life under anaerobiosis. Limited availability of oxygen has resulted in the loss of the membrane- associated respiratory chain, and consequently in the generation of minimal inner membrane potential (), and inefficient ATP synthesis via substrate-level phosphorylation. The changes in energy metabolism are directly linked with the organelle biogenesis. In mitochondria, proteins are imported across the outer membrane via the Translocase of the Outer Membrane (TOM complex), while two Translocases of the Inner Membrane, TIM22, and TIM23, facilitate import to the inner membrane and matrix. TIM23-mediated steps are entirely dependent on and ATP hydrolysis, while TIM22 requires only . The character of the hydrogenosomal inner membrane translocase and the mechanism of translocation is currently unknown.

The gain-of-function allele bamAE470K bypasses the essential requirement for BamD in β-barrel outer membrane protein assembly

Project description:The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria confers innate resistance to toxins and antibiotics. Integral -barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are assembled into the OM by the beta-barrel assembly machine (BAM), which is composed of one OMP, BamA, and four lipoproteins, BamBCDE. BamBCE can be removed individually with only minor effects on barrier function. However, depletion of BamA or BamD, the only BAM components conserved in all diderm bacteria, causes a global defect in OMP assembly and results in cell death. We have identified a gain-of-function mutation, bamAE470K, that bypasses the requirement for BamD. Although bamD::kan bamAE470K cells exhibit growth defects, they assemble OMPs with surprising robustness. Our results demonstrate that the reactions required for beta-barrel folding and membrane integration are catalyzed solely by BamA.

Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mmpl3 conditional mutant

Project description:MmpL3 is an inner membrane transporter of Mycobacterium tuberculosis responsible for the export of trehalose momomycolate, a precursor of the mycobacterial outer membrane component trehalose dimycolate (TDM), as well as mycolic acids bound to arabinogalactan. MmpL3 represents an emerging target for tuberculosis therapy. In this paper, we describe the construction and characterization of an mmpL3 knockdown strain of M. tuberculosis. Downregulation of mmpL3 led to a stop in bacterial division and rapid cell death, preceded by the accumulation of TDM precursors. MmpL3 was also shown to be essential for growth in monocyte-derived human macrophages. Using RNA-seq we also found that MmpL3 depletion caused up-regulation of 47 genes and down-regulation of 23 genes (at least 3-fold change and false discovery rate ≤ 1%). Several genes related to osmoprotection and metal homeostasis were induced, while several genes related to energy production and mycolic acids biosynthesis were repressed suggesting that inability to synthesize a correct outer membrane leads to changes in cellular permeability and a metabolic shiftdown.

High level resistance to the antimicrobial peptide TAT-RasGAP (317-326) results from sequential acquisition of mutations influencing the Escherichia coli cell envelope biogenesis and composition

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to classical antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. TAT-RasGAP (317-326) is an AMP with broad range antibacterial activity, but its mechanism of action is unknown. Escherichia coli can become partially resistant to TAT-RasGAP (317-326) in vitro. In this study, we analysed a strain of E. coli with extensive resistance to TAT-RasGAP (317-326) but not to other AMPs that we obtained after twenty passages during an in vitro resistance selection experiment. This strain accumulates four mutations, that all apparently affect bacterial envelope composition. One of these mutations is a point mutation in bamA, which encodes an essential protein involved in the folding and proper insertion of outer membrane proteins. The point mutation resulted in a charge change in an area of the protein corresponding to a negatively charged loop at the surface of BamA. Using CRISPR-Cas9-based targeted mutagenesis, we showed that mutations lowering the negative charge of this loop decreased sensitivity of E. coli to TAT-RasGAP (317-326). In silico simulations unveiled the molecular driving forces responsible for the interaction between TAT-RasGAP (317-326) and BamA. These results indicated that electrostatic interactions, particularly hydrogen bonds, are involved in the stability of the molecular complex, representing a predictive fingerprint of the TAT-RasGAP (317-326) - BamA interaction strength. Interestingly, BamA activity was not affected by TAT-RasGAP (317-326), indicating that BamA may function as a specific receptor for this AMP. Our results indicate that binding and entry of TAT-RasGAP (317-326) may involve different mechanisms compared to other AMPs, which is in line with limited cross-resistance observed between different AMPs. This limited cross-resistance is important for the clinical application of AMPs towards drug-resistant pathogens.

RNA-seq of Lon and FtsH conditional mutants of Mycoplasma pneumoniae under depleting and inducing conditions

Project description:Using Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a model organism, we conditionally depleted the two essential ATP-dependent proteases (Lon and FtsH) of this bacterium, by engineering three strains carrying a Lon and/or FtsH inducible expression locus. An integrative comparative study combining label-free shotgun proteomics and RNA-seq allowed us to decipher the global cellular response to Lon and FtsH depletion and to define protease substrates in this genome-reduced organism.

The synthetic phenotype of bamBbamE double mutants results from a lethal jamming of the Bam complex by the lipoprotein RcsF

Project description:In Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, the heteropentomeric -barrel assembly machine (Bam) folds and inserts proteins into the outer membrane of the cell envelope. Here, we show that the conditional lethal phenotype of a mutant lacking two of the three nonessential lipoproteins, BamB and BamE, is caused by the lethal jamming of the stripped down Bam complex by a normally surface-exposed lipoprotein, RcsF. Our study highlights the importance of the nonessential Bam complex lipoproteins, BamB and BamE, in regulating the interaction between the essential Bam proteins, BamA and BamD and expands our understanding of the role of the Bam complex in outer membrane biogenesis.

The FtsH3 protease is an epistatic master regulator of the iron and phosphate stress responses in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:Regulation of gene expression is a sophisticated process leading to the activation or suppression of genes due to adaptation to environmental stimuli. The membrane-embedded FtsH proteases conserved in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria, are involved in such regulation. The genome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encodes four FtsH homologues FtsH1-4, functioning in the form of oligomeric complexes. Homologue FtsH3 is bound in two hetero-oligomeric complexes, FtsH1/FstH3 and/or FtsH2/FtsH3, respectively. Previous data showed that the FtsH1/FtsH3 complex is involved in the acclimation of cells to iron deficiency by controlling the availability of the transcriptional regulator Fur (Sll0567). To gain more comprehensive insight into the physiological role of FtsH hetero-complexes, we carried out genome-wide expression profiling of a mutant conditionally depleted in FtsH3, grown under nutrient sufficiency and iron depletion. Our results show, that besides Fur, also the SufR and Pho regulons belong to the set of genes controlled by FtsH. Moreover, by combining the transcriptome data with in silico prediction we identified novel targets of Fur in Synechocystis PCC 6803. Fur tends to evoke mostly repression, but also appears to activate some target genes. We monitored the global gene expression in a conditional Synechocystis PCC6083 ftsH knockdown strain (FtsHdown) (Boehm et al., 2012) and a control strain (WT) at standard conditions and at iron depletion. The presence of ammonia to induced the conditional knockdown. Each sample was done in biological replicates.

RNA-sequencing of Adult Mouse Inner Hair Cells and Outer Hair Cells of the organ of Corti

Project description:To further understand the biological properties of hair cells of the mammalian cochlea, we examined the transcriptome of adult inner and outer hair cells. Morphologically distinct inner and outer hair cells were isolated from the organ of Corti from adult CBA/J mice. One thousand inner and outer hair cells were separately collected for each biological replicate, using the suction pipette technique. RNA sequencing of two biological replicates of IHCs and three biological replicates of OHCs, each with two technical repeats, was performed. The resulting sequenced reads were mapped. Comparisons between inner and outer hair cells allow identification of enriched genes, as well as differentially expressed genes that result in cellular specialization. Our dataset provides an extensive resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying morphology, function, and pathology of adult mouse inner and outer hair cells.
