Project description:Transcriptional regulation of S. pyogenes strain JS95, containing streptococcal invasion locus (sil) by the pheromone quorum-sensing peptide SilCR. Transcriptional profiling was conducted by comparing untreated JS95 culture with SilCR-treated cultures, using two concentrations of SilCR (10 or 0.05 µg/ml) and two incubation times (10 or 180 minutes). As a control, we used JS95-derived mutant deficient of the two-component system SilA-SilB that is necessary for SilCR signaling (ÎsilAB). Two-condition experiment: with vs. without SilCR of WT JS95 strain; without vs. with SilCR of ÎsilAB mutant. Two biological repeates were performed for experiment using WT JS95 treated with 10 µg/ml SilCR for 10 minutes.

Project description:Mating pheromone is the best-known fungal paracrine signal whose essentiality in determining sexual reproduction has been recognized since six decades ago. We demonstrate that the pheromone cannot induce mating response during unisexual mating due to the lack of a compatible receptor from the same unisexual population. We identify a quorum sensing (QS) peptide Qsp1 in place of pheromone as a specific intercellular signal directing Cryptococcus unisexual reproduction. A typical zinc finger regulator Cqs2 as the master regulator of QS signaling induces unisexual reproduction in response to Qsp1. Collectively, these data demonstrate that QS activation rather than pheromone induction as the pivotal social control mechanism underlies unisexual reproduction in C .neoformans.

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes, otherwise known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is an important and highly adaptable human pathogen with the ability to cause both superficial and severe diseases. Understanding how S. pyogenes senses and responds to its environment will likely aid in determining how it causes a breadth of diseases. One regulatory network involved in GAS’s ability to sense and respond to the changing environment is the Rgg2/3 quorum sensing (QS) system, which responds to metal and carbohydrate availability and regulates changes to the bacterial surface. To better understand the impact of Rgg2/3 QS on S. pyogenes physiology, we performed RNA-seq and TMT (tandem mass tag)-LC-MS/MS analysis on cells in which this system was induced with SHP pheromone or disrupted. Primary findings confirmed that pheromone stimulation in wildtype cultures is limited to the induction of operons whose promoters contain previously determined Rgg2/3 binding sequences. However, a deletion mutant of rgg3, a strain that endogenously produces elevated amounts of pheromone, led to extended alterations of the transcriptome and proteome, ostensibly by stress-induced pathways. Under such exaggerated pheromone conditions, a connection was identified between Rgg2/3 and the stringent response. Mutation of relA, the bifunctional guanosine tetra- and penta-phosphate nucleoside synthetase/hydrolase, and alarmone synthase genes sasA and sasB, impacted culture doubling times and disabled induction of Rgg2/3 in response to mannose, while manipulation of Rgg2/3 signaling modestly altered nucleotide levels. Our findings indicate that excessive pheromone production or exposure places stress on GAS resulting in an indirect altered proteome and transcriptome beyond primary pheromone signaling.

Project description:Whole genome expression profile comparing MGAS315 treated with XIP pheromone versus vehicle-treated cells Interpretations are described further in the manuscript to be submitted: authors Mashburn-Warren, Morrison, and Federle. Title: The Cryptic Competence Pathway in Streptococcus pyogenes is Controlled by a Peptide Pheromone. A two chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Streptococcus pyogenes MGAS315, each treated with either XIP pheromone or with vehicle; RNA preparation of cultures receiving same type of treatment were pooled using equivalent amounts of RNA from each culture. RNA pools were fluorescently labeled and hybridized to arrays designed to the S. pyogenes NZ131 genome.

Project description:Persisters are a small fraction of growth-arrested phenotypic variants that can survive lethal concentrations of antibiotics but are able to resume growth once antibiotics are stopped. Their formation can be a stochastic process or triggered by environmental cues. In the human pathogen Streptococcus mutans, the canonical peptide-based quorum sensing system is an inducible DNA repair system that is pivotal for bacterial survival. Previous work showed that the CSP signaling peptide is a stress-signaling alarmone that promotes the formation of stress-induced persisters. In this study, we exposed S. mutans to the CSP pheromone to mimic DNA damage conditions and isolated the antibiotic persisters by treating the cultures with ofloxacin. Transcriptome analysis was then performed to evaluate the differential gene expression between the normal stationary phase cells and the persisters. RNA-sequencing revealed that triggered persistence was associated with the up-regulation of genes related to several stress-defense mechanisms, notably, multidrug efflux pumps, the arginine deaminase pathway, and the Opu/Opc system. In addition, we showed that inactivation of the VicK kinase of the YycFG essential two-component regulatory system abolished the formation of triggered persisters via the CSP pheromone. These data contribute to the understanding of the triggered persistence phenotype and may suggest new therapeutic strategies for treating persistent streptococcal infections

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate which genes are important for Streptococcus pyogenes during intracellular survival in human macrophages. Streptococcus pyogenes is an important human pathogen, which has recently gained recognition as an intracellular microorganism during the course of severe invasive infections such as necrotizing fasciitis. Although the surface anchored M protein has been identified as a pivotal factor affecting phagosomal maturation and S. pyogenes survival within macrophages, the overall transcriptional profile required for the pathogen to adapt and persist intracellularly is yet unknown. To address this, gene expression profiles of S. pyogenes within human macrophages were determined and compared to those of extracellular bacteria using customized microarrays and real-time qRT-PCR. In order to model the early phase of infection involving adaptation to the intracellular compartment, samples were collected 2h post-infection and within 2 h post infection, the expression of 145 streptococcal genes was significantly altered in the intracellular environment. The majority of differentially regulated genes were associated with metabolic and energy-dependent processes. Key upregulated genes in early phase intracellular bacteria were ihk and irr, encoding a two-component gene regulatory system (TCS). We observed that an isogenic S. pyogenes mutant deficient in ihk/irr displayed significantly reduced bacterial counts as compared to wild-type bacteria following infection of macrophages. Comparison of gene expression of selected genes at 2h and 6h post-infection revealed a dramatic shift in response regulators over time with a down-regulation of ihk/irr genes concurrent with an upreguation of the well-studied covR/S two component regulator. In reinfection assays, intracellular bacteria from the 6h time point exhibited significantly greater survival within macrophages than did bacteria collected at the 2h time point. The findings illustrate how gene expression of S. pyogenes during the intracellular life cycle is fine-tuned by temporal expression of specific two-component systems.

Five samples with three biological replicates are analysed. Each open reading frame in triplicate (three technical replicas per sample). Resulting in 6-9 data points per gene per condition. The extracellular bacteria are control samples and the internal control is the house-keeping gene gyrase.

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus: GAS) is a major human pathogen that causes streptococcal pharyngitis, skin and soft-tissue infections, and life-threatening conditions such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). A large number of virulence-related genes are encoded on GAS genomes, which are involved in host-pathogen interaction, colonization, immune invasion, and long-term survival within hosts, causing the diverse symptoms. Here, we investigated the interaction between GAS-derived extracellular vesicles and host cells in order to reveal pathogenicity mechanisms induced by GAS infection.
