Influence of the aminoglycoside antibiotic apramycin on host and phage DNA transcription during infection of S. venezuelae ATCC 10712 with phage Alderaan

ABSTRACT: Bacterial populations face the constant threat of viral predation exerted by bacteriophages (or phages). In response, bacteria have evolved a wide range of defense mechanisms against phage challenges. Here, we show that aminoglycosides, a well-known class of antibiotics produced by Streptomyces, are potent inhibitors of phage infection. We observed a broad phage inhibition by aminoglycosides. We demonstrate that aminoglycosides do not prevent the injection of phage DNA into bacterial cells but instead block an early step of the viral life cycle. In this context, we used RNA sequencing of S. venezuelae cells infected with phage Alderaan to comparatively investigate the influence of apramycin on phage DNA tanscription at two different time points after inital infection.

Whole transcriptome analysis of PBMCs stimulated with either a P. aeruginosa phage PNM lysate or with its bacterial host P. aeruginosa

Project description:The ability of bacteriophages to kill bacteria is well known, as is their potential use as alternatives to antibiotics. As such, bacteriophages reach high doses locally through infection of their bacterial host in the human body. In this study we assessed the gene expression profile, by means of whole transcriptome analysis, of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from a healthy human donor and stimulated with a Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PNM lysate, or P. aeruginosa strain 573. The PBMCs were stimulated for 20 h, followed by lysis of the cells and RNA extraction. In total, three stimulations were performed: control sample (i.e. not stimulated), P. aeruginosa phage PNM lysate and P. aeruginosa strain 573. Each stimulation was conducted in triplicate. The transcriptome analysis showed that the phage induce a clear immunological responses. Both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes were up-regulated in the PBMCs in the presence of the phage or its bacterial host. Our results indicate that bacteriophages might play a bigger role in the immune response then previously described and might have a broader effect than the clearing of bacterial infections alone, such as the suppression of the immune response to benefit their own survival.

Impact of phage predation on bacterial transcriptome under simulated human airway conditions

Project description:Phage therapy is a promising adjunct therapeutic approach against bacterial multidrug-resistant infections, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa-derived infections. Nevertheless, the current knowledge about the phage-bacteria interaction within a human environment is limited. In this work, we performed a transcriptome analysis of phage-infected P. aeruginosa adhered to a human epithelium (Nuli-1 ATCC® CRL-4011™). To this end, we performed RNA-sequencing from a complex mixture comprising phage–bacteria–human cells at early, middle, and late infection and compared it to uninfected adhered bacteria. Overall, we demonstrated that phage genome transcription is unaltered by bacterial growth and phage employs a core strategy of predation through upregulation of prophage-associated genes, a shutdown of bacterial surface receptors, and motility inhibition. In addition, specific responses were captured under lung-simulating conditions, with the expression of genes related to spermidine syntheses, sulfate acquisition, spermidine syntheses, biofilm formation (both alginate and polysaccharide syntheses), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) modification, pyochelin expression, and downregulation of virulence regulators. These responses should be carefully studied in detail to better discern phage-induced changes from bacterial responses against phage. Our results establish the relevance of using complex settings that mimics in vivo conditions to study phage-bacteria interplay, being obvious the phage versatility on bacterial cell invasion.

Comparative transcriptomics reveals a conserved Bacterial Adaptive Phage Response (BAPR) to viral predation

Project description:Intrinsic and acquired defenses against bacteriophages, including Restriction/Modification, CRISPR/Cas, and Toxin/Anti-toxin systems have been intensely studied, with profound scientific impacts. However, adaptive defenses against phage infection analogous to adaptive resistance to antimicrobials have yet to be described. To identify such mechanisms, we applied an RNAseq-based, comparative transcriptomics approach in different \textit{Pseudomonas aeruginosa} strains after independent infection by a set of divergent virulent bacteriophages. A common host-mediated adaptive stress response to phages was identified that includes the Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal, through which infected cells inform their neighbors of infection, and what may be a resistance mechanism that functions by reducing infection vigor. With host transcriptional machinery left intact, we also observe phage-mediated differential expression caused by phage-specific stresses and molecular mechanisms. These responses suggest the presence of a conserved Bacterial Adaptive Phage Response mechanism as a novel type of host defense mechanism, and which may explain transient forms of phage persistence.

A phage-encoded RNA-binding protein inhibits the antiviral activity of a toxin-antitoxin system

Project description:Bacteria harbor diverse mechanisms to defend themselves against their viral predators, bacteriophages. In response, phages can evolve counter-defense systems, most of which remain poorly understood. In T4-like phages, the gene tifA prevents bacterial defense by the type III toxin-antitoxin (TA) system toxIN, but the mechanism by which TifA inhibits toxIN remains unclear. Here, we show that TifA directly binds both the endoribonuclease ToxN and RNA, leading to the formation of a high molecular weight ribonucleoprotein complex in which ToxN is inhibited. The RNA binding activity of TifA is necessary for its interaction with and inhibition of ToxN. Thus, we propose that TifA inhibits ToxN during phage infection by trapping ToxN on cellular RNA, particularly the abundant 16S rRNA, preventing cleavage of phage transcripts. Taken together, our results reveal a novel mechanism underlying inhibition of a phage-defensive RNase toxin by a small, phage-encoded protein.

Response to low-level phage predation in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms

Project description:An important lesson from the war on pathogenic bacteria has been the need to understand the physiological responses and evolution of natural microbial communities. Bacterial populations in the environment are generally forming biofilms subject to some level of phage predation. These multicellular communities are notoriously resistant to antimicrobials and, consequently, very difficult to eradicate. This has sparked the search for new therapeutic alternatives, including phage therapy. This study demonstrates that S. aureus biofilms formed in the presence of a non-lethal dose of phage phiIPLA-RODI exhibit a unique physiological state that could potentially benefit both the host and the predator. Thus, biofilms formed under phage pressure are thicker and have a greater DNA content. Also, the virus-infected biofilm displayed major transcriptional differences compared to an untreated control. Significantly, RNA-seq data revealed activation of the stringent response, which could slow down the advance of the bacteriophage within the biofilm. The end result would be an equilibrium that would help bacterial cells to withstand environmental challenges, while maintaining a reservoir of sensitive bacterial cells available to the phage upon reactivation of the dormant carrier population.

Type I CRISPR-Cas provides robust immunity but incomplete attenuation of phage-induced cellular stress

Project description:During infection, phages manipulate bacteria to redirect metabolism towards viral proliferation. To counteract phages, some bacteria employ CRISPR-Cas systems that provide adaptive immunity. While CRISPR-Cas mechanisms have been studied extensively, their effects on both the phage and the host during phage infection remains poorly understood. Here, we analysed the infection of Serratia by a siphovirus (JS26) and the transcriptomic response with, or without type I-E or I-F CRISPR-Cas immunity. In non-immune Serratia, phage infection altered bacterial metabolism by upregulating anaerobic respiration and amino acid biosynthesis genes, while flagella production was suppressed. Furthermore, phage proliferation required a late-expressed viral Cas4, which did not influence CRISPR adaptation. While type I-E and I-F immunity provided robust defence against phage infection, phage development still impacted the bacterial host. Moreover, DNA repair and SOS response pathways were upregulated during type I immunity. We also discovered that the type I-F system is controlled by a positive autoregulatory feedback loop that is activated upon phage targeting during type I-F immunity, leading to a controlled anti-phage response. Overall, our results provide new insight into phage-host dynamics and the impact of CRISPR immunity within the infected cell.

A phage nucleus-associated RNA-binding protein required for jumbo phage infection

Project description:Large-genome bacteriophages (jumbo phages) of the Chimalliviriadae family assemble a nucleus-like compartment bounded by a protein shell that protects the replicating phage genome from host-encoded restriction enzymes and CRISPR/Cas nucleases. While the nuclear shell provides broad protection against host nucleases, it necessitates transport of mRNA out of the nucleus-like compartment for translation by host ribosomes, and transport of specific proteins into the nucleus-like compartment to support DNA replication and mRNA transcription. Here we identify a conserved phage nuclear shell-associated protein that we term chimallin C (ChmC), which adopts a nucleic acid-binding fold, binds RNA with high affinity in vitro and binds phage mRNAs in infected cells. ChmC also forms phase-separated condensates with RNA. Targeted knockdown of ChmC using mRNA-targeting Cas13d halts infections at an early stage. Taken together, our data suggest that the conserved ChmC protein acts as a chaperone for phage mRNAs, potentially stabilizing these mRNAs and driving their translocation through the nuclear shell to promote translation and infection progression.
