A TetR-family regulator of an RND efflux system that directs artemisinin resistance in Vibrio cholerae

ABSTRACT: Artemisinin (ARS) displayed bactericidal activity against Vibrio cholerae. To assess the mechanistic details of its antibacterial action, we have isolated V. cholerae mutants with enhanced ARS resistance and identified a gene (VCA0767), whose loss-of-function resulted in the ARS resistance phenotypes. This gene (atrR) encodes a TetR family transcriptional regulator, and its deletion mutant displayed the reduction in ARS-induced ROS formation and DNA damage. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the genes encoding an RND efflux pump operon (vexRAB) and the outer membrane component (tolC) were highly upregulated in the artR mutant, suggesting that AtrR might act as a negative regulator of this operon and tolC. Gene deletion of vexR, vexB or tolC abrogated the ARS resistance of the atrR mutant and, more importantly, the ectopic expression of VexAB-TolC was sufficient for the ARS resistance, indicating that the increased expression of the VexAB-TolC efflux system is necessary and sufficient for the ARS resistance of the atrR mutant. The cytoplasmic accumulation of ARS was compromised in the vexBtolC mutant, suggesting that the VexAB-TolC might be the primary efflux system exporting ARS to reduce its toxicity inside of the bacterial cells. The atrR mutant displayed resistance to erythromycin as well in a VexR-dependent manner. This result suggests that AtrR may act as a global regulator responsible for preventing intracellular accumulation of toxic chemicals by enhancing the RND efflux system.

Pyrrole-based inhibitors of RND-type efflux pumps reverse antibiotic resistance and display antivirulence potential

Project description:Efflux pumps of the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily, particularly the AcrAB-TolC and MexAB-OprM, besides mediating intrinsic and acquired resistance, also intervene in bacterial pathogenicity. Inhibitors of such pumps could restore activities of antibiotics and curb bacterial virulence. Here, we identify pyrrole-based compounds that boost antibiotic activity in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inhibiting their archetype RND transporters. The discovered efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) inhibit the efflux of fluorescent probes, attenuate persister formation, and diminish resistant mutant development. Molecular docking and biophysical studies revealed that the EPIs bind to AcrB. EPIs also possess an anti-pathogenic potential and attenuate P. aeruginosa virulence in vivo. The excellent efficacy of the EPI-antibiotic combination was evidenced in animal lung infection and sepsis protection models. These findings indicate that EPIs discovered herein with no off-target effects and negligible toxicity are potential antibiotic adjuvants to address life-threatening bacterial infections.

RNA-seq analysis of AtrR-regulated gene expression in Aspergillus fumigatus cells in response to voriconazole.

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus transcription factor AtrR is a critical determinant of the azole resistance phenotype of this organism. AtrR positively regulates expression of a range of genes involved in azole resistance including the ATP-binding cassette transporter-encoding locus abcG1 (cdr1B/abcC) as well as the gene that encodes the enzymatic target of azole drugs cyp51A. Homology searches of A. fumigatus AtrR against a range of fungal species identified highly conserved 25 amino acid region in the carboxy-terminus. To determine the contribution of this region to AtrR function, we prepared a mutant from of the atrR that lacked this region (Δ855-879). We compared the response of an isogenic wild-type strain to a strain expressing the Δ855-879 AtrR derivative using RNA-seq, both in the absence and the presence of voriconazole challenge. The resulting data indicate that this 25 amino acid segment of AtrR is required for expression of some but not all AtrR target genes.

Real-time visualization of drug resistance acquisition by horizontal gene transfer reveals a new role for AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump

Project description:In our study, we obtained evidence showing that, in the presence of tetracycline, AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump was required for production of protein encoded by a conjugative plasmid acquired by bacterial conjugation. We then address the role of AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump on the level of protein synthesis activity in the presence of tetracycline, which inhibits protein translation by targeting ribosomal 16S rRNA and competing with binding of the anticodon-stem loop of an A-site tRNA. We used a quantitative TMT-nanoLC-mass spectrometry approach to obtained the protein relative abundance ratio before and after incubation with tetracycline, and so in wild-type(MG1655, K12) and AcrAB-TolC mutant strains (ΔacrA, ΔacrB and ΔtolC).

Identification of the EmrR regulon in Chromobacterium violaceum

Project description:Antibiotic resistance can arise by several mechanisms, including mutation in transcription factors that regulate drug efflux pumps. In this work, we identified EmrR as a MarR family transcription factor involved in antibiotic resistance in Chromobacterium violaceum, a Gram-negative bacterium that occurs in soil and water and can act as a human opportunistic pathogen. Antibiogram and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays showed that the ΔemrR mutant presented increased resistance to the antibiotic nalidixic acid in respect to the wild-type strain. The emrR gene is near to a putative operon emrCAB, which encode the efflux pump EmrCAB. DNA Microarray analysis showed that EmrR represses the emrCAB operon and some other putative transporters. Northern blot assays validated that EmrR represses the emrCAB operon and this repression can be released by salicylate, but not other compounds such as nalidixic acid or ethidium bromide. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) showed that EmrR binds directly to the promoter regions of emrR, emrCAB and other genes to exert negative regulation. Therefore, in response to compounds as salicylate, EmrR derepresses the operon emrCAB causing overexpression of the efflux pump EmrCAB and increased resistance to nalidixic acid in C. violaceum.

Conformational restriction shapes the inhibition of a multidrug efflux adaptor protein

Project description:Membrane efflux pumps play a major role in bacterial multidrug resistance. The tripartite multidrug efflux pump system from Escherichia coli, AcrAB-TolC, is a target for inhibition to lessen resistance development and restore antibiotic efficacy, with homologs in other ESKAPE pathogens. Here, we rationalize a mechanism of inhibition against the periplasmic adaptor protein, AcrA, using a combination of hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, cellular efflux assays, and molecular dynamics simulations. We define the structural dynamics of AcrA and find that an inhibitor can inflict long-range stabilisation across all four of its domains, whereas an interacting efflux substrate has minimal effect. Our results support a model where an inhibitor forms a molecular wedge within a cleft between the lipoyl and αβ domains of AcrA, diminishing its conformational transmission of drug-evoked signals from AcrB to TolC. This work provides molecular insights into multidrug adaptor protein function which could be valuable for developing antimicrobial therapeutics.

Expression data of the acrR mutant E.coli compared to wild-type

Project description:AcrR is a known transcriptional repressor for AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux system and mar-sox regulators. We used microarrays to investigate genome-wide target genes for AcrR. In the acrR deletion mutant, the transcription of genes for flagella and motility are significantly increased, indicating that AcrR plays a role in motility of E. coli.

Geobacter sulfurreducens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapted cocultures SWATH-MS

Project description:In this study we further investigate the previously observed syntrophic interaction between Geobacter sulfurreducens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In early coculture establishment, two genetic variants of G. sulfurreducens emerged that were strongly selected for throughout coculture evolution. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants occurred in fabI and tetR genes of G. sulfurreducens. The tetR variants displayed upregulation of adenylate cyclase transporter, CyaE and of RND efflux pump proteins as determined through SWATH-MS proteomics.
