Project description:“Stress, survival and virulence: the multi-faceted host/microbial interactions.” Bacteria employ epinephrine and norepinephrine, which converge to distinct bacterial crucial processes, like survival and pathogenicity. A novel stress periplasmic membrane protein belonging to previously described BOF family, protein renamed here SrpP, and together with membrane sensor kinase QseC has an essential role in stress response and virulence of S. Typhimurium. SrpP employs its predicted binding pocket, specifically the SrpPE110 residue, and interacts with lipid A modification enzyme, LpxO dioxygenase. Upon this interaction SrpP in S. Typhimurium finely manages multiple membrane functions to culminate in survival upon stress and pathogenesis in vivo, connecting host-stress chemical signaling to cell stress in bacteria.

Project description:Atypical EPEC (aEPEC) strains are part of group of pathogens capable of forming the Attaching and Effacing (A/E) lesion. This lesion is characterized by intimate adherence of bacteria to enterocytes, and microvilli destruction. The genes responsible to cause that lesion are located in a pathogenicity island called Locus of Enterocyte Effacement (LEE). Transcription of LEE genes is subjected to various levels of regulation, including quorum sensing through autoinducer 3 (AI-3) system. AI-3 is an aromatic compound with similar characteristics to the epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones. This similarity allows bacteria to use these hormones and AI-3 to perform cell – to – cell signaling processes and bacteria - host communication processes in order to modulate its virulence. AI-3, epinephrine and norepinephrine are detected by a sensor kinase named quorum sensing E.coli regulator (QseC). In order to investigate the role of QseC and epinephrine in atypical EPEC O55:H7 virulence, we constructed a QseC mutant of this strain and performed transcription and phenotypic analyses in the presence or absence of epinephrine. We have reported here, for the first time, the quorum sensing QseC regulation of virulence genes in atypical EPEC. Our results shown that QseC is a global regulator of gene expression in aEPEC and positively regulates flagellar genes, LEE and non-LEE encoded factors. We also have shown that the presence of epinephrine could be sensed by other receptor that acts as negative regulator of LEE4 and LEE5 genes.

Project description:The facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia in humans and animals. Gram negative bacteria utilize two-component regulatory systems (TCS) to sense and respond to their changing environment. No classical, tandemly arranged sensor kinase and response regulator TCS genes exist in the human virulent Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis, but orphaned members are present. PmrA is an orphan response regulator responsible for intramacrophage growth and virulence; however, the regulation of PmrA activity is not understood. We and others have shown that PmrA represses the expression of priM, described to encode an anti-virulence determinant. By screening a mutant library for increased priM promoter activity, we identified the sensor kinase homolog QseC as an upstream regulator of priM expression, and this regulation is in part, dependent upon the aspartate phosphorylation site of PmrA (D51). PmrA directly binds to the promoter of priM and a PmrAD51A mutation decreases binding. Several examined environmental signals including epinephrine, which is reported to activate QseC in other bacteria, do not affect priM expression in a manner dependent on PmrA. Intramacrophage survival assays also question the finding that PriM is an anti-virulence factor. Thus, these data suggest that the PmrA-regulated gene priM is regulated by an uncoupled TCS QseC-PmrA (QseB) in Francisella.

Project description:The ability to respond to stress is at the core of an organismâs survival. The hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine play a central role in stress responses in mammals, which require the synchronized interaction of the whole neuroendocrine system. Bacteria also sense and respond to epinephrine and norepinephrine as a means to gauge the metabolic and immune state of the host. Mammalian adrenergic receptors are G-coupled protein receptors (GPCRs), bacteria, however, sense these hormones through histidine sensor kinases (HKs). HKs autophosphorylate in response to multiple signals and transfer this phosphate to response regulators (RRs). Two bacterial adrenergic receptors have been identified in EHEC, QseC and QseE, with QseE being downstream of QseC in this signaling cascade. We mapped the QseC signaling cascade in the deadly pathogen enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), which exploits this signaling system to promote disease. Through QseC, EHEC activates expression of metabolic, virulence and stress response genes, synchronizing the cell response to these stress hormones. Coordination of these responses is achieved by QseC phosphorylating three of the thirty two EHEC RRs. The QseB RR, which is QseCâs cognate RR, activates the flagella regulon which controls bacteria motility and chemotaxis. The QseF RR, which is phosphorylated by the QseE adrenergic sensor, coordinates expression of virulence genes involved in formation of lesions in the intestinal epithelia by EHEC, and the bacterial SOS stress response. The third RR, KdpE, controls potassium uptake, osmolarity response, and also the formation of lesions in the intestine. Adrenergic regulation of bacterial gene expression shares several parallels with mammalian adrenergic signaling having profound effects in the whole organism. Understanding adrenergic regulation of a bacterial cell is a powerful approach to study the underlying mechanisms of stress and cellular survival. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray comparisons reveal some trends with respect to signaling cascades. Comparative methods were used to identify networks.

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 S. Typhimurium 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 S. Typhimurium maintain an acidic cytoplasm under sucrose-driven osmotic stress which requires OmpR. Thus, we set out to identify the OmpR targets of S. Typhimurium under osmotic stress.

Project description:We describe how searching chimeric spectra with post-processing including MS²PIP-derived features aids the identification of hypothetical and unannotated proteins. We apply our workflow to the well-characterized human bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and validate novel protein-coding regions with by ribo-seq translation evidence. We further elaborate how riboproteogenomics is instrumental for reannotating ORFs and the discovery of novel ORFs across bacteria.

Project description:The ability to adapt quickly to changing environmental conditions is crucial for growth and survival of bacteria in their natural environment. The common strategy that bacteria utilize to increase their survival under stressful conditions, including antibiotic treatment, is the entry into a non-actively growing state (quiescence). In the wide host-range pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and other Gram negative bacteria, this temporary arrest of proliferation induces the expression of the alternative sigma subunit σS/RpoS of RNA polymerase (RNAP) which remodels global gene expression to reshape the cell physiology and ensure survival in various stress conditions and nutritional deficiencies (i.e. general stress resistance) and long-term cell persistence. σS is also required for virulence and biofilm formation. Our work aims at understanding key molecular and physiological determinants responsible for persistence of non-growing bacteria, using the ubiquitous pathogen S. Typhimurium as a working system. We expect to identify novel functional proteins that are both physiologically important and of wide biological significance. One approach to characterize those proteins is to compare mutant proteome to that of the wild-type strain to unravel potential effects of the mutations on the expression and/or stability of proteins.
