Pleomorphic Variants of Borreliella (syn. Borrelia) burgdorferi Express Evolutionary Distinct Transcriptomes.

Project description:Borreliella (syn. Borrelia) burgdorferi is a spirochete bacterium that causes tick-borne Lyme disease. Along its lifecycle B. burgdorferi develops several pleomorphic forms with unclear biological and medical relevance. Surprisingly, these morphotypes have never been compared at the global transcriptome level. To fill this void, we grew B. burgdorferi spirochete, round body, bleb, and biofilm-dominated cultures and recovered their transcriptomes by RNAseq profiling. We found that round bodies share similar expression profiles with spirochetes, despite their morphological differences. This sharply contrasts to blebs and biofilms that showed unique transcriptomes, profoundly distinct from spirochetes and round bodies. To better characterize differentially expressed genes in non-spirochete morphotypes, we performed functional, positional, and evolutionary enrichment analyses. Our results suggest that spirochete to round body transition relies on the delicate regulation of a relatively small number of highly conserved genes, which are located on the main chromosome and involved in translation. In contrast, spirochete to bleb or biofilm transition includes substantial reshaping of transcription profiles towards plasmids-residing and evolutionary young genes, which originated in the ancestor of Borreliaceae. Despite their abundance the function of these Borreliaceae-specific genes is largely unknown. However, many known Lyme disease virulence genes implicated in immune evasion and tissue adhesion originated in this evolutionary period. Taken together, these regularities point to the possibility that bleb and biofilm morphotypes might be important in the dissemination and persistence of B. burgdorferi inside the mammalian host. On the other hand, they prioritize the large pool of unstudied Borreliaceae-specific genes for functional characterization because this subset likely contains undiscovered Lyme disease pathogenesis genes.

Borrelia PeptideAtlas: A proteome resource of common Borrelia burgdorferi isolates for Lyme community

Project description:Lyme disease is a result from an infection by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, and is the leading vector-borne disease in North America. Due to the genomic and proteomic variability of different B. burgdorferi isolates, the study and further comparison of their proteome is key to understand the biology and infectivity of these spirochetes. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics was used to assemble peptide datasets of laboratory isolates B31, MM1, B31-ML23, and the infective isolates B31-5A4, B31-A3, and 297, as well as other public datasets, and is publicly available as the Borrelia PeptideAtlas (http://www.peptideatlas.org/builds/borrelia/). These datasets include information on total proteome, secretome, and membrane proteome of the B. burgdorferi.

Borrelia host adaptation Regulator (BadR) regulates rpoS to modulate host adaptation and virulence factors in Borrelia burgdorferi

Project description:Our study is the first to demonstrate BadR as a repressor of rpoS and thus facilitates spirochete’s transition back into ticks. BadR binds upstream and represses rpoS in unfed ticks. GLcNA-6P, an abundant nutrient of blood and released by subsequent remodeling of the tick peritrophic membrane, relieves repression of BadR on rpoS facilitating vertebrate host adaptation. BadR regulates chitobiose utilization genes and activates genes critical for spirochetes residence of ticks (lp28-4 genes) badR-deficient strain (Gene BB0693) compared to B31-A3 parental wild-type B. burgdorferi strains

DksA controls the response of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi to starvation

Project description:The pathogenic spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi senses and responds to diverse environmental challenges, including changes in nutrient availability, throughout its natural infectious cycle in Ixodes spp. ticks and mammalian hosts. This study examined the role of the putative DnaK suppressor protein (DksA) in the transcriptional response of B. burgdorferi to starvation. Wild-type and dksA-deficient B. burgdorferi strains were subjected to starvation by shifting mid-logarithmic cultures grown in BSK-II medium to serum-free RPMI medium for six hours under microaerobic conditions (5% CO2, 3% O2). Microarray analyses of wild-type B. burgdorferi revealed that genes encoding flagellar components, ribosomal proteins, and DNA replication machinery were downregulated in response to starvation. DksA mediated transcriptomic responses to starvation in B. burgdorferi as the dksA-deficient B. burgdorferi strain differentially expressed only 47 genes in response to starvation compared to the 500 genes differentially expressed by wild-type strains. Consistent with a role for DksA in the starvation response of B. burgdorferi, fewer CFUs were observed for dksA-deficient spirochetes after prolonged starvation in RPMI medium compared to wild-type B. burgdorferi. Transcriptomic analyses revealed a partial overlap between the DksA regulon and the regulon of the guanosine tetraphosphate and guanosine pentaphosphate [(p)ppGpp] synthase RelBbu, while the DksA regulon also included many plasmid-borne genes. Corresponding to a DksA-(p)ppGpp regulatory relationship, (p)ppGpp levels were constitutively elevated in the dksA-deficient strain compared to the wild-type strain. Together, these data indicate that DksA directs the stringent response with a regulatory interplay with (p)ppGpp that is fundamental to B. burgdorferi responses to the environment.

Identification of the differences between gene expression in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF cell line) infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes

Project description:The similarity of Lyme borreliosis to other diseases and the complex pathogenesis cause diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Changes at the cellular and molecular level after Borrelia sp. infection remain still poorly understood. Therefore, the present study focused on the gene expression in human dermal fibroblasts in differentiation of infection with Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto spirochetes. For microarray analysis 10 samples were used: 3 control samples - K, 2 samples of NHDF cells infected with Borrelia garinii - G, 2 samples of NHDF cells infected with Borrelia afzelii - A and 3 samples of NHDF cells infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto - SS.

Acetylation in Borrelia burgdorferi

Project description:Borelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of the Lyme disease, cycles between a vector (tick) and the mammalian host. Our principal goal is to study how B. burgdorferi adapts its metabolism to colonize and survive in the tick. We established the first growth-phase related acetylome and demonstrated the role of acetylation on central metabolism regulation. We also demonstrated that acetyl phosphate is the primary acetyl donor in B. burgdorferi.
