Centromere interactions promote the maintenance of the multipartite genome in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

ABSTRACT: Many pathogens and symbionts contain multipartite genomes, but how they are stably maintained is poorly understood. The plant pathogen, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, contains four replicons. Recent work indicates that their replication origins cluster at cell poles in a manner that depends on their ParB-family centromeric proteins. Here, we provide evidence that centromeric clustering is mediated by interactions between these centromeric proteins. We further show that the disruption of centromere clustering results in the loss of replicons. Our data establish the role of centromeric clustering in multipartite genome maintenance.

Conformation and dynamic interactions of the multipartite genome in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Project description:Bacterial species from diverse phyla contain multiple replicons, yet how these multipartite genomes are organized and segregated during the cell cycle remains poorly understood. Agrobacterium tumefaciens has a 2.8 Mb circular chromosome (Ch1), a 2.1 Mb linear chromosome (Ch2), and two large plasmids (pAt and pTi). We used this alpha proteobacterium as a model to investigate the global organization and temporal segregation of a multipartite genome. Using Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C) assays, we demonstrate that both the circular and the linear chromosomes but neither of the plasmids have their left and right arms juxtaposed from their origins to their termini, generating inter-arm interactions that require the broadly conserved structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex. Moreover, our studies revealed two types of inter-replicon interactions: “ori-ori clustering” in which the replication origins of all four replicons interact, and “Ch1-Ch2 alignment” in which the arms of Ch1 and Ch2 interact linearly along their lengths. We show that the centromeric proteins (ParB1 for Ch1 and RepBCh2 for Ch2) are required for both types of inter-replicon contacts. Finally, using fluorescence microscopy, we validated the clustering of the origins and observed their frequent colocalization during segregation. Altogether, our findings provide a high-resolution view of the conformation of a multipartite genome. We hypothesize that inter-centromeric contacts promote the organization and maintenance of diverse replicons.

Comparison of Expression Profiles for Agrobacterium tumefaciens visR mutant to wild-type strain.

Project description:Many bacteria colonize surfaces and transition to a sessile mode of growth. The plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens produces a unipolar polysaccharide (UPP) adhesin at single cell poles that contact surfaces. Here we report that elevated levels of the intracellular signal cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) lead to surface-contact-independent UPP production and a red colony phenotype due to production of UPP and the exopolysaccharide cellulose, when A. tumefaciens is incubated with the polysaccharide stain Congo Red. Transposon mutations with elevated Congo Red staining identified presumptive UPP-negative regulators, mutants for which were hyperadherent, producing UPP irrespective of surface contact. Multiple independent mutations were obtained in visN and visR, activators of flagellar motility in A. tumefaciens, now found to inhibit UPP and cellulose production. Expression analysis in a visR mutant and isolation of suppressor mutations, identified three diguanylate cyclases inhibited by VisR. Null mutations for two of these genes decrease attachment and UPP production, but do not alter cellular c-di-GMP levels. However, analysis of catalytic site mutants revealed their GGDEF motifs are required to increase UPP production and surface attachment. Mutations in a specific presumptive c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase also elevate UPP production and attachment, consistent with c-di-GMP activation of surface-dependent adhesin deployment.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 whole-genome tiling microarray design and validation

Project description:This research focuses on the design, manufacturing and validation of a new Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 whole-genome tiling microarray platform for novel RNA transcript discovery. A whole-genome tiling microarray allows both annotated genes as well as previously unknown RNA transcripts to be detected and quantified at once. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 genome is re-acquired with next-generation sequencing and then used to design the tilinlg microarray with the thermodynamic analysis program Picky. Validations are performed by subjecting Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 under various growth conditions and then using the tling microarrays to verify expected gene expression patterns.
