Protoanemonin: A new natural quorum sensing inhibitor that selectively activates iron starvation response

ABSTRACT: Many Gram-negative bacteria employ cell-to-cell communication mediated by N-acyl homoserine lactones (quorum sensing) to control expression of a wide range of genes including, but not limited to, genes encoding virulence factors. Outside the laboratory, the bacteria live in complex communities where signals may be perceived across species. We here present a newly found natural quorum sensing inhibitor, produced by the pseudomonads Pseudomonas sp. B13 and Pseudomonas reinekei MT1 as a blind end in the biodegradation of organochloride xenobiotics, which inhibits quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa in naturally occurring concentrations. This catabolite, 4-methylenebut-2-en-4-olide, also known as protoanemonin, has been reported to possess antibacterial properties, but seems to have dual functions. Using transcriptomics and proteomics, we found that protoanemonin significantly reduced expression of genes and secretion of proteins known to be under control of quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa. Moreover, we found activation of genes and gene products involved in iron starvation response. It is thus likely that inhibition of quorum sensing, as the production of antibiotics, is a phenomenon found in complex bacterial communities.

Strain P. aeruginosa MPAO1 was cultivated under defined ABT medium. The orginal culture was divided in the early exponential phase into two parts. One was treated with 125M-NM-<M Protoanemonin and the other served as a control. The experiment was performed in duplicates.

Microarray analysis of effect of N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl) homoserine lactone on S. cerevesiae

Project description:We examined whether the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can sense chemical signals from prokaryotes, specifically a variety of quorum sensing molecules from different bacteria species and from Candida albicans. We found that only N-acyl-3-oxo-dodecanoyl homoserine lactone (C12) from the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa induces a stress response in yeast. Microarray experiments were performed in order to continue investigating the stress response. We treated S. cerevesiae (WT strain W303) with N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl) homoserine lactone (C12), a quorum sensing molecule of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which we found causes a stress response using a GFP reporter for HSP-12. Treatment conditions: 100 uM C12, 100 uM C12-lactam (control: synthetic analogue of C12 that is inactive in P. aeruginosa), DMSO (control: solvent), and 0.3 mM H2O2 (for comparison to oxidative stress).

Response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCSF1 to the Gram-negative pathogen-associated quorum sensing molecule N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone.

Project description:The bacterial quorum sensing (QS) phenomenon has been well studied since its discovery and has traditionally been considered to include signaling pathways recognized exclusively within either Gram-positive (Gm+) or Gram-negative (Gm-) bacteria. The Gm+ bacteria are known to utilize quorum sensing pathways mediated by various small autoinducing peptides (AIP), while the Gm- bacteria use small molecules known collectively as acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL). Distinct structural differences between the types of signaling molecules have historically implied a lack of cross-talk among Gm+ and Gm- QS systems. Recent investigations, however, have demonstrated the ability for AIPs and AHLs to be produced by noncanonical organisms, implying QS systems may be more universally recognized than previously hypothesized. With that in mind, our interests were piqued by the organisms Lactobacillus plantarum, a Gm+ commensal probiotic known to participate in AIP-mediated QS, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a characterized Gm- pathogen whose virulence is controlled by AHL-mediated QS. Both health-related organisms are known to inhabit the human gut in various instances, both are characterized to elicit distinct effects on host immunity, and some studies hint at the putative ability of L. plantarum to degrade AHLs produced by P. aeruginosa. We therefore wanted to determine if L. plantarum cultures would respond to the addition of N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3OC12) from P. aeruginosa by analyzing changes on both the transcriptome and proteome over time. Based on the observed upregulation of various two-component systems, response regulators, and native quorum sensing related genes, the resulting data provide evidence of an AHL recognition and response by L. plantarum.

Determination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transcriptome induced by oleic acid or its derived oxylipins 10-HOME and 7,10-DiHOME.

Project description:Oxygenated unsaturated fatty acids, known as oxylipins, are signaling molecules commonly used for cell-to-cell communication in eukaryotes. However, a role for oxylipins in mediating communication in prokaryotes has not previously been described. Bacteria mainly communicate via quorum sensing (QS) , which involves the production and detection of diverse small molecules termed autoinducers. We showed that oleic acid-derived oxylipins 10-HOME and 7,10-DiHOME produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa function as autoinducers of a novel quorum sensing system termed Oxylipin-Dependent QS Sytem (ODS). This experiment was designed to determine the genes whose expression is altered by these P. aeruginosa oxylipins. We found that the ODS system controls the cell density-dependent expression of a P. aeruginosa gene subset through the mediation of 10-HOME and 7,10-DiHOME oxylipins.

The ParS/ParR regulon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Project description:The ParS/ParR two component regulatory system plays important roles for multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study we report RNA-seq analyses of the transcriptomes of P. aeruginosa PAO1 wild type and par mutants growing in a minimal medium containing 2% casamino acids. This has allowed the quantification of PAO1 transcriptome, and further defines the regulon that is dependent on the ParS/ParR system for expression. Our RNA-seq analysis produced the first estimates of absolute transcript abundance for the 5570 coding genes in P. aeruginosa PAO1. Comparative transcriptomics of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and par mutants identified a total of 464 genes regulated by ParS and ParR. Results also showed that mutations in the parS/parR system abolished the expression of the mexEF-oprN operon by down-regulating the regulatory gene mexS. In addition to affecting drug resistance genes, transcripts of quorum sensing genes (rhlIR and pqsABCDE-phnAB), were significantly up-regulated in both parS and parR mutants. Consistent with these results, a significant portion of the ParS/ParR regulated genes belonged to the MexEF-OprN and quorum sensing regulons. Deletion of par genes also lead to overproduction of phenazines and increased swarming motility, consistent with the up-regulation of quorum sensing genes. Our results established a link among ParS/ParR, MexEF-OprN and quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Based on these results, we propose a model to illustrate the relationship among these regulatory systems in P. aeruginosa. A total of 9 samples were analyzed in AB medium + 2% casamino acids, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 wild type strain (3 replicates); Pseudomonas aeruginosa parS mutant (3 replicates); Pseudomonas aeruginosa parR mutant (3 replicates).

RNAseq reveals that Pseudomonas aeruginosa mounts medium-dependent competitive responses when sensing diffusible cues from Burkholderia cenocepacia

Project description:Most habitats on earth are colonized by diverse bacterial communities, offering ample opportunities for inter-species interactions. While competition for space and nutrients might often dominate such interactions, little is known about whether bacteria can sense competitors and mount specific responses to withstand their attacks. The competition-sensing hypothesis proposes that bacteria can do so through nutrient stress and cell damage cues. Here, we conducted a replicated RNAseq-transcriptomic study to test this hypothesis. We exposed Pseudomonas aeruginosa to either its own spent medium or to the supernatant of its competitor Burkholderia cenocepacia. Compared to controls, we detected significant changes in the transcriptome of P. aeruginosa that entail both general responses to spent medium and specific responses to the competitor. Specifically, genes encoding various competitive traits, including the type-VI secretion system, the siderophore pyoverdine, and the toxins phenazines and hydrogen cyanide, were upregulated when exposed to the competitor supernatant. Similarly, several stress response and quorum-sensing regulators were overexpressed. Moreover, we found transcriptional responses to vary as a function of iron availability, whereby metabolically more costly responses were launched under iron rich conditions. Altogether, our results reveal nuanced competitive responses of P. aeruginosa when exposed to B. cenocepacia supernatant, integrating both environmental and social cues.

Lyngbyoic Acid, a "Tagged" Fatty Acid from a Marine Cyanobacterium, Disrupts Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism of bacterial gene regulation in response to increases in population density. Production of small molecule QS signals, their accumulation within a diffusion-limited environment and their binding to the LuxR-type receptor trigger QS-controlled gene regulatory cascades. QS pathways mediated by acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) in Gram-negative bacteria are the best studied. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for example, binding of AHLs to their cognate receptors (LasR, RhlR) controls production of virulence factors, pigments, antibiotics and other behaviors important for its interactions with eukaryotic hosts and other bacteria. We isolated a new small cyclopropane-containing fatty acid, lyngbyoic acid (1), as a major metabolite of the marine cyanobacterium, Lyngbya sp., collected off Fort Pierce, Florida. The structure of 1 was determined by NMR, MS and optical rotation. We screened 1 against four reporters based on AHL receptors from Vibrio fischeri (LuxR), Aeromonas hydrophila (AhyR), Agrobacterium tumefaciens (TraR) and P. aeruginosa (LasR) and found that 1 most strongly affected LasR. We show, by using a defined set of reporters, that compound 1 acts both through the AHL-binding site of LasR and independent of it. We also show that 1 reduces pyocyanin and LasB, both on the protein and transcript level, in wild-type P. aeruginosa, and that 1 directly inhibits LasB enzymatic activity. Conversely, dodecanoic acid (11) increased pyocanin and LasB, demonstrating that 1 is a “tagged” fatty acid potentially resistant to β-oxidation. 1 mL Cultures of P. aeruginosa PAO1 were grown for 6h at 37 °C with shaking either in the presence of lyngbyoic acid (1 mM) or EtOH alone (10 μL) as a control. RNA samples were obtained from one treated and one control culture, and were reverse transcribed, labeled and fragmented according to Affymetrix's protocol. The two samples were hybridized in duplicate.

Gene expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis lung infections

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen in the lungs of the cystic fibrosis patients. As infection develops the organism progressively adapts to its environment and its mode of pathogenesis alters, frequently including the loss of quorum sensing regulated virulence factors. We used microarrays to detail differences between two P. aeruginosa isolates from CF patients, one of which (UUPA38) exhibited an active quorum sensing system (QS+) typical of early acute infection while the other (UUPA85) was QS-compromised (QS-) typical of chronic CF-adapted infection.
