Sigma 28-dependent small RNAs regulate timing of flagella biosynthesis

ABSTRACT: Synthesis of flagella is very energy intensive and, while extensive transcriptional regulation has been described, little is known about the post-transcriptional regulation. Small RNAs (sRNAs) are widespread posttranscriptional regulators; most base pairing with mRNAs to affect their stability and/or translation. Here we describe four UTR-derived sRNAs (UhpU, MotR, FliX and FlgO) whose expression is controlled by the flagella sigma factor, sigma 28 in Escherichia coli. UhpU, MotR and FliX have distinct impacts on flagellin levels, flagella number and swimming, with MotR accelerating flagella synthesis and FliX decelerating flagella synthesis. Interestingly, MotR and FliX are noncanonical in that they base pair within the coding sequences of target genes. We characterize their respective positive and negative effects on genes encoding ribosomal proteins.

Methylation of Salmonella Typhimurium flagella promotes bacterial adhesion and host cell invasion

Project description:The long external filament of bacterial flagella is composed of several thousand copies of a single protein, flagellin. Here, we explore the role played by lysine methylation of flagellin in Salmonella, which requires the methylase FliB. We show that both flagellins of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, FliC and FljB, are methylated at surface-exposed lysine residues by FliB. A Salmonella Typhimurium mutant deficient in flagellin methylation is outcompeted for gut colonization in a gastroenteritis mouse model, and methylation of flagellin promotes bacterial invasion of epithelial cells in vitro. Lysine methylation increases the surface hydrophobicity of flagellin and enhances flagella-dependent adhesion of Salmonella to phosphatidylcholine vesicles and epithelial cells.

RNAseq of WT + pctrl, ∆flaX + pctrl and ∆flaX + pPflaAX in V. cholerae

Project description:Gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level is prevalent in all domains of life. In bacteria, ProQ-like proteins have emerged as important RNA chaperones facilitating RNA stability and RNA duplex formation. In the major human pathogen V. cholerae, post-transcriptional gene regulation is key for virulence, biofilm formation, and antibiotic resistance, yet the role of ProQ has not been studied. Here, we show that ProQ interacts with hundreds of transcripts in V. cholerae, including the highly abundant FlaX small RNA (sRNA). Global analyses of RNA duplex formation using RIL-Seq (RNA interaction by ligation and sequencing) revealed a vast network of ProQ-assisted interactions and identified a role for FlaX in motility regulation. Specifically, FlaX base-pairs with multiple sites on the flaB flagellin mRNA, preventing 30S ribosome binding and translation initiation. V. cholerae cells lacking flaX display impaired motility gene expression, altered flagella composition, and reduced swimming in liquid environments. Our results provide a global view on ProQ-mediated RNA duplex formation and pinpoint the mechanistic and phenotypic consequences associated with ProQ-associated sRNAs in V. cholerae.

Genome-wide transcriptional regulation by the flagellar sigma factor FliA in Pseudomonas putida

Project description:The sigma factor FliA (σ28) has been described to activate the expression of several chemoreceptor-encoding genes and the late flagellar genes in Pseudomonas putida, enabling synthesis of the filament, an stator complex and completion of the flagella-associated chemotaxis machinery. The activity of FliA is repressed in the cytoplasm by the anti-sigma factor FlgM upon completion of the flagellar hook. In this study we aim to identify genome-wide targets of regulation by FliA in P. putida KT2442 (a spontaneous rifampicin-resistant mutant of the reference strain KT2440) by performing RNA-seq experiments using a fliA deletion mutant and a constitutively active strain that combines the deletion of flgM with ectopic production of FliA.

Global transcriptional analysis of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 after inactivation of flagella biosynthesis regulator FlhF

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni produces a single flagellum on one or both poles of the cell, the polar flagella not only confer the bacterium darting motility but also involved in its virulence and metabolic processes. FlhF is a lately defined flagella biosynthesis regulator, but how it regulates flagella assembly isn’t clear at present. Previous research had indicated FlhF was associated with gene expression, to understanding its role in flagella system and its correlation with C. jejuni virulence, the global gene expression profiles of C. jejuni NCTC 11168 after inactivation of FlhF was analyzed. Transcriptome analysis revealed that ten genes were significantly differentially expressed with 6 down-regulated and 4 up-regulated, these genes are involved in diverse cellular functions including bacterial chemotaxis, flagellar assembly and two-component system, significance analysis revealed that the pathway of flagellar assembly was remarkable affected. Further studies were focused on the flagella system, FlhF was found play a global role as 63% (41/65) of the flagella genes were down-regulated, it influences flagella gene transcription from the early stage, this effect persists during the synthesis process and has a remarkable impact on the late part. The results above expand our cognition of this regulator, and also helpful for comprehensively and systematically reveal its role in flagella system.

The small RNAs PA2952.1 and prrH as regulators of virulence, motility and iron metabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Purpose: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that undergoes swarming motility in response to semisolid conditions with amino acids as a nitrogen source. With a genome encoding hundreds of potential intergenic small RNAs (sRNAs), P. aeruginosa can easily adapt to different conditions and stresses. We previously identified 20 sRNAs dysregulated under swarming conditions and here provide phenotypic characterization for these sRNAs. Methods: Here, these sRNA were overexpressed in strain PAO1 and subjected to an array of phenotypic screens. Results: Overexpression of prrH resulted in decreased swimming motility, while a ∆prrH mutant had decreased cytotoxicity and increased pyoverdine production. Overexpression of the previously uncharacterized PA2952.1 resulted in decreased swarming and swimming motility, increased gentamicin and tobramycin resistance under swarming conditions, and increased trimethoprim susceptibility. RNA-Seq and proteomics were performed on the wildtype overexpressing PA2952.1 cf. the empty vector control under swarming conditions, and revealed the differential expression of 784 genes and differential abundance of 445 proteins. Amongst these were found 82 transcriptional regulators, two-component systems, sigma and anti-sigma factors. Downstream effectors included downregulated pili, dysregulated flagellar genes, the upregulated efflux pump MexGHI-OpmD, the upregulated arn operon, and downregulated DNA synthesis genes. Genes involved in iron and zinc uptake were also dysregulated, and certain pyoverdine and phenazine genes were upregulated. Conclusions: Overall, the sRNAs PA2952.1 and prrH appeared to be involved in regulating virulence-related programs in P. aeruginosa, including iron acquisition and motility.

Host Acid Signal Controls Salmonella Flagella Biogenesis through CadC-YdiV Axis

Project description:Upon entering host cells, Salmonella quickly turn off flagella biogenesis to avoid recognition by the host immune system. However, it is not clear which host signal(s) Salmonella senses to initiate flagellum control.During the infection of a host,acid pH acts as an important environmental factor to triggers some genes expression. To investigate the effect of environmental acid signaling on the regulation of Salmonella flagella synthesis, we cultivated Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028s to an OD600 of 0.4, and then continued to culture for 2 h at pH 7.0 or pH 5.0. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of cultured cells at different pH condition.

Sigma(M) regulated genes under antibiotic stress (vancomycin)

Project description:Abstract of associated manuscript: The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma(M) factor is activated by cell envelope stress elicited by antibiotics, and by acid, heat, ethanol and superoxide stresses. Here, we have used several complementary approaches to identify genes controlled by sigma(M). In many cases, expression is only partially dependent on sigma(M) because of both overlapping promoter recognition with other ECF sigma factors and the presence of additional promoter elements. Genes regulated by sigma(M) have a characteristic pattern of induction in response to cell envelope-acting antibiotics as evidenced by hierarchical clustering analysis. sigma(M) also contributes to the expression of the Spx transcription factor and thereby indirectly regulates genes of the Spx regulon. Cell envelope stress responses also include regulons controlled by sigma(W), sigma(B) and several two-component regulatory systems (e.g. LiaRS, YycFG, BceRS). Activation of the sigma(M) regulon increases expression of proteins functioning in transcriptional control, cell wall synthesis and shape determination, cell division, DNA damage monitoring, recombinational repair and detoxification.
