Project description:Salmonellosis is one of the leading health problems worldwide. With the rise of drug resistance strains it has become imperative to identify alternative strategies. Naringenin, a flavonone, is present predominantly in grapefruit. Previously we have demonstrated that naringenin is potent inhibitor of cell-cell signaling. In the present study, we provide evidence that naringenin specifically represses 24 genes in the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1, and down-regulates 17 genes involved in flagellar and motility; thereby, attenuating virulence and cell motility, respectively. This is the first molecular evidence to demonstrate effect of naringenin on bacterial virulence and cell motility. One condition experiment, naringenin treated versus DMSO treated. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 treatment, hybridized in dye-swapped design

Project description:Vibrio campbellii is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that is both free-living and a pathogen of marine organisms and exhibits swimming motility via a single, polar flagellum. Swimming motility is a critical virulence factor in V. campbellii pathogenesis, and disruption of the flagellar motor significantly decreases host mortality. However, while V. campbelli encodes homologs of flagellar and chemotaxis genes conserved by other members of the Vibrionaceae, the regulatory network governing these genes have not been explored. We systematically deleted all 63 known flagellar and chemotaxis genes in V. campbellii and examined their effects on motility compared to their homologs in other Vibrios. We specifically focused on assessing the roles of the core flagellar regulators of the flagellar regulatory hierarchy established in other Vibrios: rpoN, flrA, flrC, and fliA. Although V. campbellii transcription of flagellar and chemotaxis genes is governed by a multi-tiered regulatory hierarchy similar to other Vibrios, we observed two critical differences: the σ54-dependent regulator FlrA is dispensable for motility, and Class II gene expression is independent of σ54 regulation. Our genetic and phenotypic dissection of the V. campbellii flagellar regulatory network highlights the differences that have evolved in flagellar regulation across the Vibrionaceae.

Project description:Vibrio cholerae is highly motile by the action of a single polar flagellum. The loss of motility reduces the infectivity of V. cholerae, demonstrating that motility is an important virulence factor. FlrC is the sigma-54-dependent positive regulator of flagellar genes. Recently, the genes VC2206 (flgP) and VC2207 (flgO) were identified as being regulated by FlrC by microarray analysis of an flrC mutant. FlgP is reported to be an outer membrane lipoprotein required for motility that functions as a colonization factor. The study reported here focuses on the characterization of flgO, the first gene in the flgOP operon. We show FlgO/P are important for motility, as these mutants have reduced motility phenotypes. The flgO/P mutant populations display fewer motile cells as well as reduced numbers of flagellated cells. The flagella produced by the flgO/P mutant strains are shorter in length than the WT flagella, which can be restored by inhibiting rotation of the flagellum. FlgO is an outer membrane protein that localizes throughout the membrane and not at the flagellar pole. Although FlgO/P do not specifically localize to the flagellum, they are required for flagellar stability. Due to the nature of these motility defects, we established that the flagellum is not sufficient for adherence, rather, motility is the essential factor required for attachment and thus colonization by V. cholerae O1 of the classical biotype. This study reveals a novel mechanism for which the OMPs FlgO and FlgP function in motility to mediate flagellar stability and influence attachment and colonization.

Project description:We examined two variants of the genome-sequenced strain, Campylobacter jejuni NCTC11168, which show marked differences in their virulence properties including colonization of poultry, invasion of Caco-2 cells, and motility. Transcript profiles obtained from whole genome DNA microarrays and proteome analyses demonstrated that these differences are reflected in late flagellar structural components and in virulence factors including those involved in flagellar glycosylation, and cytolethal distending toxin production. We identified putative s28 and s54 promoters for many of the affected genes, and found that greater differences in expression were observed for s28-controlled genes. Inactivation of the gene encoding s28, fliA, resulted in an unexpected increase in transcripts with s54 promoters, as well as decreased transcription of s28-regulated genes. This was unlike the transcription profile observed for the attenuated C. jejuni variant, suggesting that the reduced virulence of this organism was not entirely due to impaired function of s28. However, inactivation of flhA, an important component of the flagellar export apparatus, resulted in expression patterns similar to that of the attenuated variant. These findings indicate that the flagellar regulatory system plays an important role in campylobacter pathogenesis and that flhA is a key element involved in the coordinate regulation of late flagellar genes and of virulence factors in C. jejuni. Furthermore, we provide a model for flagellar regulation, which forms a foundation for the study of the unique regulatory networks in this important human pathogen. Keywords: parallel sample

Project description:Many bacteria convert bicyclic compounds, such as indole and naphthalene, to oxidized compounds, including hydroxyindoles and naphthols. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous bacterium that inhabits diverse environments, shows pathogenicity against animals, plants and other microorganisms, and increasing evidence has shown that several bicyclic compounds alter the virulence-related phenotypes of P. aeruginosa. Here, we revealed that hydroxyindoles (4- and 5-hydroxyindoles) and naphthalene derivatives bearing hydroxyl groups specifically inhibit swarming motility but have minor effects on other motilities, including swimming and twitching, in P. aeruginosa. Further analyses using 1-naphthol showed that this effect is also associated with clinically isolated hyper swarming P. aeruginosa cells. Swarming motility is associated with the dispersion of cells from biofilms, and the addition of 1-naphthol maintained biofilm biomass without cell dispersion. Swarming inhibition did not mediate rhamnolipid production, which regulates swarming motility in P. aeruginosa. Transcriptome analyses revealed that 1-naphthol increases gene expression associated with multidrug efflux and represses gene expression associated with aerotaxis and pyochelin, flagellar, and pili synthesis. In the present study, we showed that several bicyclic compounds bearing hydroxyl groups inhibit the swarming motility of P. aeruginosa, and these results provide new insight into the chemical structures that inhibit the specific phenotypes of P. aeruginosa. In total 4 samples: gene expressions of P. aeruginosa with (2 samples) or without (2 samples) 1-naphthol

Project description:We have exploited a spontaneously isolated mutant IgaA(T191P) that is near-maximally activated for the Rcs system, to identify a vast set of genes that respond, and report new regulatory properties of this signaling system in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Microarray data show that the Rcs system normally functions as a positive regulator of SPI-2 and other genes important for growth of Salmonella in macrophages, although when highly activated, the system completely represses the SPI-1/SPI-2 virulence, flagellar, and fimbrial biogenesis pathways. The auxilliary protein RcsA, which works with RcsB to positively regulate colanic acid and other target genes, not only stimulates but also antagonizes the positive regulation of many genes in the igaA mutant. We show that RcsB represses motility through the 'RcsB box' in the promoter region of the master operon flhDC, and that RcsA is not required for this regulation. Curiously, RcsB selectively stimulates expression of the flagellar Type 3 secretion genes fliPQR; an RcsAB box located downstream of fliR influences this regulation. We show that excess colanic acid impairs swimming and inhibits swarming motility, consistent with the inverse regulation of the two pathways by the Rcs system.
