The polar flagellar transcriptional regulatory network in Vibrio campbellii deviates from known Vibrio species

ABSTRACT: Vibrio campbellii is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that is both free-living and a pathogen of marine organisms and exhibits swimming motility via a single, polar flagellum. Swimming motility is a critical virulence factor in V. campbellii pathogenesis, and disruption of the flagellar motor significantly decreases host mortality. However, while V. campbelli encodes homologs of flagellar and chemotaxis genes conserved by other members of the Vibrionaceae, the regulatory network governing these genes have not been explored. We systematically deleted all 63 known flagellar and chemotaxis genes in V. campbellii and examined their effects on motility compared to their homologs in other Vibrios. We specifically focused on assessing the roles of the core flagellar regulators of the flagellar regulatory hierarchy established in other Vibrios: rpoN, flrA, flrC, and fliA. Although V. campbellii transcription of flagellar and chemotaxis genes is governed by a multi-tiered regulatory hierarchy similar to other Vibrios, we observed two critical differences: the σ54-dependent regulator FlrA is dispensable for motility, and Class II gene expression is independent of σ54 regulation. Our genetic and phenotypic dissection of the V. campbellii flagellar regulatory network highlights the differences that have evolved in flagellar regulation across the Vibrionaceae.

Indole signaling and (micro)algal auxins decrease the virulence of Vibrio campbellii, a major pathogen of aquatic organisms

Project description:Vibrio campbellii BAA-1116 was used as a Harveyi clade model organism to determine the impact of indole signaling on virulence. Gene expression analysis of V. campbellii grown in LB35 broth with or without 100 μM indole revealed that indole decreased: (1) V. campbellii virulence in shrimp and prawn challenge assays, (2) exopolysaccharide production, and (3) swimming motility. The results also indicated that indole inhibits quorum sensing-regulated bioluminescence and blocks the three-channel quorum sensing system by interfering with quorum sensing signal transduction.

Integrated proteomic/lipidomics reveal that the swarming motility of Paenibacillus polymyxa is driven by phospholipid changes, surfactants, and flagellar specialization

Project description:To better understand the molecular-level details of the swarming phenotype in P. polymyxa,m this study was designed to use a bioinformatics approach to integrate proteomics and lipidomics datasets generated for P. polymyxa grown in liquid swimming culture bacteria vs. swarming on agar platesbacteria. Integration of omics datasets unraveled the growth condition dependent phospholipid metabolism and possible membrane remodulation. Further, this study identifies the possible roles of GHs, flagellar assembly, chemotaxis and production of wetting agents and surfactants in swarming motility along with the validation from gene expression using RT-PCR.

Eukaryotic catecholamine hormones influence the chemotactic control of Vibrio campbellii by binding to the coupling protein CheW

Project description:In addition to their well-known role as stress-associated catecholamine hormones in animals and humans, epinephrine (EPI) and norepinephrine (NE) act as interkingdom signals between eukaryotic hosts and bacteria. However, the molecular basis of their effects on bacteria is not well understood. In initial phenotypic studies utilizing Vibrio campbellii as a model organism, we characterized the bipartite mode of action of catecholamines, which consists of promotion of growth under iron limitation, and enhanced colony expansion. In order to identify the molecular targets of the hormones, we designed and synthesized tailored probes for chemical proteomic studies. As the catechol group in EPI and NE acts as iron chelator and is prone to form a reactive quinone moiety, we devised a photoprobe based on the adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (PE), which solely influenced colony expansion on soft agar. Using this probe, we identified CheW, located at the core of the chemotaxis signaling network, as a major target. In vitro studies confirmed that EPI, NE, PE, as well as labetalol, a clinically applied antagonist, bind to purified CheW with affinity constants in the sub-micromolar range. In line with these findings, exposure of V. campbellii to these adrenergic agonists affects the chemotactic control of the bacterium. This study highlights a previously unknown effect of eukaryotic signaling molecules on bacterial motility.

Characterization of Two Outer Membrane Proteins, FlgO and FlgP, that Influence Vibrio cholerae Motility

Project description:Vibrio cholerae is highly motile by the action of a single polar flagellum. The loss of motility reduces the infectivity of V. cholerae, demonstrating that motility is an important virulence factor. FlrC is the sigma-54-dependent positive regulator of flagellar genes. Recently, the genes VC2206 (flgP) and VC2207 (flgO) were identified as being regulated by FlrC by microarray analysis of an flrC mutant. FlgP is reported to be an outer membrane lipoprotein required for motility that functions as a colonization factor. The study reported here focuses on the characterization of flgO, the first gene in the flgOP operon. We show FlgO/P are important for motility, as these mutants have reduced motility phenotypes. The flgO/P mutant populations display fewer motile cells as well as reduced numbers of flagellated cells. The flagella produced by the flgO/P mutant strains are shorter in length than the WT flagella, which can be restored by inhibiting rotation of the flagellum. FlgO is an outer membrane protein that localizes throughout the membrane and not at the flagellar pole. Although FlgO/P do not specifically localize to the flagellum, they are required for flagellar stability. Due to the nature of these motility defects, we established that the flagellum is not sufficient for adherence, rather, motility is the essential factor required for attachment and thus colonization by V. cholerae O1 of the classical biotype. This study reveals a novel mechanism for which the OMPs FlgO and FlgP function in motility to mediate flagellar stability and influence attachment and colonization.

Expression data from wild-type Vibrio fischeri and a flrA deletion mutant.

Project description:The marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri requires flagellar motility to undergo symbiotic initiation with its host, the Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes. We sought to identify the genes activated by the sigma54-dependent flagellar master regulator, FlrA, in V. fischeri, thereby determining the flagellar regulon in this model symbiont. We performed microarray analysis on wild-type Vibrio fischeri ES114 and a flrA deletion mutant, DM159, grown to mid-log phase in seawater tryptone, a condition in which cells are highly motile (two biological replicates per condition).

Diversity in natural transformation frequencies and regulation across Vibrio species

Project description:In marine Vibrio species, chitin-induced natural transformation enables bacteria to take up DNA from the external environment and integrate it into their genome via homologous recombination. Expression of the master competence regulator TfoX bypasses the need for chitin induction and drives expression of the genes required for competence in several Vibrio species. Here, we show that TfoX expression in two Vibrio campbellii strains, DS40M4 and NBRC 15631, enables high frequencies of natural transformation. Conversely, transformation was not achieved in the model quorum-sensing strain V. campbellii BB120 (previously classified as Vibrio harveyi). Surprisingly, we find that quorum sensing is not required for transformation in V. campbellii DS40M4. This result is in contrast to Vibrio cholerae that requires the quorum-sensing regulator HapR to activate the competence regulator QstR. However, similar to V. cholerae, QstR is necessary for transformation in DS40M4. To investigate the difference in transformation frequencies between BB120 and DS40M4, we used previously studied V. cholerae competence genes to inform a comparative genomics analysis coupled with transcriptomics. BB120 encodes homologs of all known competence genes, but most of these genes were not induced by ectopic expression of TfoX, which likely accounts for the non-functional natural transformation in this strain. Comparison of transformation frequencies among Vibrio species indicates a wide disparity among even closely related strains, with Vibrio vulnificus having the lowest functional transformation frequency. We show that ectopic expression of both TfoX and QstR is sufficient to produce a significant increase in transformation frequency in Vibrio vulnificus.
