Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PhiKZ is the type representative of the M-bM-^@M-^XgiantM-bM-^@M-^Y phage genus with unusually large virions and genomes. By unraveling the transcriptional map of the 280 kb genome to single-nucleotide resolution, we show that it encodes 369 genes organized in 134 operons, 20% more than originally annotated. Early transcription is initiated from 28 highly conserved AT-rich promoters distributed over the PhiKZ genome, all located on the same strand. Transcription of middle and late genes is dependent on protein synthesis and mediated by very poorly conserved middle (6) and late (16) promoters. As a result of massive PhiKZ transcription, halfway through infection only 1.5% of all mRNAs in the infected cell remain bacterial. Unique to PhiKZ is its ability to complete its infection in complete absence of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) enzyme activity. Its transcription is performed by the consecutive action of two PhiKZ-encoded, non-canonical RNAPs, one of which is packed within the virion. This unique, rifampicin-resistant transcriptional machinery is conserved among giant viruses, seems to function without auxiliary factors and might have its origin preceding the split between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Construction of transcription maps for the PhiKZ phage and analysis of differential expression of host and phage genes using RNA-Seq data from samples taken in duplicate at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 35 minutes into infection.

Project description:Bacteriophages are highly abundant viruses of bacteria. The major role of phages in microbial ecology to shape bacterial communities and their emerging medical potential as antibacterial agents have triggered a rebirth of phage research. It is of particular interest to understand the molecular mechanisms by which phages gain control over their host. Omics technologies such as next-generation sequencing and protein-profiling technologies can provide novel insights into transcriptional and translational events occurring during the infection process. Thereby, the temporal organization of the transcriptome and proteome of the phage and their bacterial hosts can be monitored. In this study, we performed next-generation sequencing and proteomics to study the transcriptome and proteome of the T4 phage and its host during the infection in a time-resolved manner. Our data shows the temporally resolved appearance of bacteriophage T4 transcripts and proteins, confirming previously described subgrouping of T4 gene products into early, middle and late infection phases. We observe specific early transcripts giving rise to middle or late proteins indicating the existence of previously not reported post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms controlling the translation of T4 mRNAs. Moreover, we investigated the stability of E. coli-originated transcripts and proteins in the course of infection, identifying degradation of E. coli transcripts and preservation of the host proteome. This study provides the first comprehensive insights into the transcriptomic and proteomic takeover by the bacteriophage T4, exemplifying the power and value of high-throughput technologies to simultaneously characterize multiple gene expression events. Moreover, we created a user-friendly application available to the entire scientific community to access gene expression patterns for their host and phage genes of interest.

Project description:Programmed cell suicide of infected bacteria, known as abortive infection (Abi), serves as a central immune defense strategy to prevent the spread of bacteriophage viruses and other invasive genetic elements across a population. Many Abi systems utilize bespoke cyclic nucleotide immune messengers generated upon infection to rapidly mobilize cognate death effectors. Here, we identify a large family of bacteriophage nucleotidyltransferases (NTases) which synthesize competitor cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) ligands and inhibit NAD-depleting TIR effectors activated through a linked STING CDN sensor domain (TIR-STING). Through a functional screen of NTase-adjacent phage genes, we uncover candidate inhibitors of host TIR-STING suicide signaling. Among these, we demonstrate that a virus MazG-like nucleotide pyrophosphatase, Atd1, depletes the starvation alarmone (p)ppGpp, revealing a role for the alarmone-activated host toxin MazF as a key executioner of TIR-driven abortive infection. Phage NTases and counter-defenses like Atd1 preserve host viability to ensure virus propagation, and may be exploited as tools to modulate TIR and STING immune responses.

Project description:ChmA forms the phage nucleus in PhiKZ-infected PAO1 cells, we aimed to illuminate the effects on the transcriptome upon knockdown (KD) of ChmA translation through anti-sense-based technology. We identified phage transcripts that are affected in level upon KD of ChmA and clustering allowed to group these together that likely are expressed at a similar stage and dependency in the phage replication cycle.

Project description:We aimed to illuminate the effects on the transcriptome upon translation knockdown (KD) of core genes and other characterised genes or early expressed genes in PHIKZ through anti-sense-based technology. We identified phage transcripts that are affected in level upon KD and clustering allowed to group these together that likely are expressed at a similar stage and dependency in the phage replication cycle. The read coverage can point to alterations in transcripts and mode of action for several candidates that were knocked down.

Project description:Elucidating host-bacteriophage dynamics is an important approach to elucidating bacterial survival functions and responses to infection. The model bacteriophage φX174 endemically found amongst the human intestinal microbiota and has a long history of use in bacteriophage based research, however the common laboratory host’s response to infection lacks detailed investigation. In this study we have measured host Escherichia coli C122 proteomic and transcriptomic response to φX174 infection to fill this knowledge gap. We identify differentially expressed genes and proteins during phage induced lysis. We also use mass spectrometry to identify and quantify all φX174 proteins and over 1700 E. coli proteins enabling us to comprehensively map host pathways involved in φX174 infection. Most notably, in our dual omics investigation we observe significant host responses pertaining to membrane remodeling, cellular chaperone activity, and lipoprotein processing. We also highlight host small heat-shock proteins IbpA and IbpB as having fold-change inductions comparable to that of the phage proteins. Together, this study provides foundational and the first proteomic and transcriptomic data characterizing host response to Microviridae infection.
