Translational profiling of stress-induced small proteins uncovers a connection among distinct signaling systems

ABSTRACT: Bacteria utilize sophisticated mechanisms to detect and adapt to challenging environmental conditions by activating specific genes that help counteract stressors. Over 150 small proteins (≤ 50 amino acids long) are documented in Escherichia coli, but only a fraction of them are well-studied. Many of these proteins do not have an associated phenotype and their biological roles remain elusive. Here, we investigate small proteins induced in response to magnesium limitation using ribosome profiling, RNA sequencing, and transcriptional reporter assays. We uncover 17 small proteins with increased translation initiation, a majority of which are transcriptionally upregulated by the PhoQ-PhoP two-component signaling system, central for magnesium homeostasis. Next, we describe small protein-specific deletion and overexpression phenotypes, which underscore the significance of their expression to cellular physiology in low magnesium stress. Most remarkably, our study reveals the small protein YoaI as a connector of the major signaling networks – PhoR-PhoB and EnvZ-OmpR in E. coli.

To compare the transcriptome of ompR null strains with wild-type strain of E. coli during acid or osmotic stress

Project description:In bacteria, one paradigm for signal transduction is the two-component regulatory system, consisting of a sensor kinase (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a DNA binding protein). The EnvZ/OmpR two-component system in E. coli responds to osmotic stress and regulates expression of outer membrane proteins. Furthermore, bacteria were believed to regulate pH by acidifying after external acid stress, then immediately recovering. Using a pH-sensor in single living cells, we show that E. coli maintain an acidic cytoplasm. The osmotic stress transcription factor OmpR, was required. Thus, we set out to identify the OmpR targets under acid and osmotic stress.

Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network construction

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae, a Gram-negative plant pathogen, infects more than 50 crops with its type III secretion system (T3SS) and causes severe economic losses around the world. Although the mechanisms of virulence-associated regulators of P. syringae T3SS have been studied for decades, the crosstalk and network underlying these regulators are still elusive. Previously, we have individually studied a group of T3SS regulators, including AefR, HrpS, and RhpRS. In the present study, we found 4 new T3SS regulator genes (envZ, ompR, tsiS and phoQ) via transposon-mediated mutagenesis. Two-component systems EnvZ and TsiS natively regulate T3SS. In order to uncover the crosstalk between 16 virulence-associated regulators, (including AefR, AlgU, CvsR, GacA, HrpL, HrpR, HrpS, MgrA, OmpR, PhoP, PilR, PsrA, RhpR, RpoN, TsiR and Vfr) in P. syringae, we mapped an intricate network named PSVnet (Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network) by combining differentially expression genes in RNA-seq and binding loci in ChIP-seq of all regulators.

An intracellular phosphorus-starvation signal activates the PhoB/PhoR two-component system in Salmonella enterica

Project description:Bacteria acquire P primarily as inorganic orthophosphate (Pi, PO43-). Once internalized, Pi is rapidly assimilated into biomass during the synthesis of ATP. Because Pi is essential, but excessive ATP is toxic, the acquisition of environmental Pi is tightly regulated. In the bacterium Salmonella enterica (Salmonella), growth in Pi-limiting environments activates the membrane sensor histidine kinase PhoR, leading to the phosphorylation of its cognate transcriptional regulator PhoB and subsequent transcription of genes involved in adaptations to low Pi. Pi limitation is thought to promote PhoR kinase activity by altering the conformation of a membrane signaling complex comprised by PhoR, the multicomponent Pi transporter system PstSACB and the regulatory protein PhoU. The identity of the low Pi signal and how it controls PhoR activity remain unknown. Here we characterize the PhoB-dependent and independent transcriptional changes elicited by Salmonella in response to P starvation, and identify PhoB-independent genes that are required for the utilization of several organic-P sources. We use this knowledge to identify the cellular compartment where the PhoR signaling complex senses the low Pi signal. We demonstrate that the PhoB and PhoR signal transduction proteins can be maintained in an inactive state even when Salmonella is grown in media lacking Pi. Our results establish that PhoR activity is controlled by by an intracellular signal resulting from P insufficiency.

Project description:OmpR is a DNA binding protein belonging to the OmpR/EnvZ two component system. This system is known to sense changes in osmolarity in Escherichia coli. Recently, OmpR in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was found to be activated by acidic pH and DNA relaxation. In this study, ChIP-on-chip was employed to ascertain the genome-wide distribution of OmpR in Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli in acidic and neutral pH. In addition we investigated the affect of DNA relaxation on OmpR binding in Salmonella Typhimurium. Analysis of OmpR binding at pH 7 and pH 4.5 in E-minimal medium in both SL1344 and CSH50. Three independent biological replicates at each pH 7 and pH 4.5 was performed. This was done in each strain background. DNA was immunopreciptated using an anti-FLAG anitbody which binds to flag-tagged OmpR in both strains. Two control M-bM-^@M-^XmockM-bM-^@M-^Y experiments were performed under the same culture condtions in each strain background; DNA was immunopreciptated using normal mouse IgG antibody. To analyse the effect of DNA relaxation onOmpR binding SL1344 was maintained in the exponential growth phase in LB broth with and without treatment with the drug novobiocin (25 M-NM-<g/ml) for 40 min. This was peformed on two independent occasions. In all cases the experimental immunoprecipitated DNA was hybridised against the input DNA.

To compare the transcriptome of ompR null strains with wild-type strain of S. Typhimurium during osmotic stress

Project description:In bacteria, one paradigm for signal transduction is the two-component regulatory system, consisting of a sensor kinase (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a membrane protein) and a response regulator (usually a DNA binding protein).

Identification of the PhoB regulon and role of PhoU in the phosphate-starvation response of Caulobacter crescentus (expression)

Project description:An ability to sense and respond to changes in extracellular phosphate is critical to the survival of most bacteria. For Caulobacter crescentus, which typically lives in phosphate-limited environments, this process is especially crucial. Like many bacteria, Caulobacter responds to phosphate limitation through a conserved two-component signaling pathway called PhoR-PhoB, but the direct regulon of PhoB in this organism is unknown. Here, we use ChIP-Seq to map the global binding patterns of the phosphate-responsive transcriptional regulator PhoB in both phosphate-limited and -replete conditions. Combined with genome-wide expression profiling, our work demonstrates that PhoB is induced to regulate nearly 50 genes in phosphate-starved conditions. The PhoB regulon is comprised primarily of genes known or predicted to help Caulobacter scavenge for and import inorganic phosphate, including 15 different membrane transporters. We also investigated the regulatory role of PhoU, a widely conserved protein proposed to coordinate phosphate import with expression of the PhoB regulon by directly modulating the histidine kinase PhoR. However, our studies show that it likely does not play such a role in Caulobacter as depleting PhoU has no significant effect on PhoB-dependent gene expression. Instead, cells lacking PhoU exhibit a striking accumulation of large polyphosphate granules suggesting that PhoU participates in controlling intracellular phosphate metabolism.

Adaptive mutations that prevent cross-talk enable the expansion of paralogous signaling protein families

Project description:Orthologous proteins often harbor numerous substitutions, but whether these differences result from neutral or adaptive processes is usually unclear. To tackle this challenge, we examined the divergent evolution of a model bacterial signaling pathway comprising the kinase PhoR and its cognate substrate PhoB. We show that the specificity-determining residues of these proteins are typically under purifying selection, but have, in α-proteobacteria, undergone a burst of diversification followed by extended stasis. By reversing mutations that accumulated in an α-proteobacterial PhoR, we demonstrate that these substitutions were adaptive, enabling PhoR to avoid cross-talk with a paralogous pathway that arose specifically in α-proteobacteria. Our findings demonstrate that duplication and the subsequent need to avoid cross-talk strongly influence signaling protein evolution. These results provide a concrete example of how system-wide insulation can be achieved post-duplication through a surprisingly limited number of mutations. Our work may help explain the apparent ease with which paralogous protein families expanded in all organisms.
