Transfer of Non-coding DNA Drives Regulatory Rewiring in Bacteria

ABSTRACT: The rapid pace of evolution in bacteria is widely attributed to the promiscuous horizontal transfer and recombination of protein-coding genes. However, it is not known whether the same forces also drive the evolution of non-coding regulatory regions. Here we demonstrate that regulatory region can ‘switch’ between non-homologous alternatives and that such switching is ubiquitous, occurring across the bacterial domain. We show that such regulatory switching strongly impacts promoter architecture and expression divergence. We further show that regulatory transfer facilitates rapid phenotypic diversification of a human pathogen. This regulatory mobility enables bacterial genes to access a vast pool of potential regulatory elements, facilitating efficient exploration of the regulatory landscape.

A bacteriophage enzyme induces bacterial metabolic perturbation that confers a novel promiscuous function.

Project description:One key concept in the evolution of new functions is the ability of enzymes to perform promiscuous side-reactions that serve as a source of novelty that may become beneficial under certain conditions. Here, we identify a mechanism where a bacteriophage-encoded enzyme introduces novelty by inducing expression of a promiscuous bacterial enzyme. By screening for bacteriophage DNA that rescued an auxotrophic E. coli mutant carrying a deletion of the ilvA gene, we show that bacteriophage-encoded S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) hydrolases reduce SAM levels. Via this perturbation of bacterial metabolism, expression of the promiscuous bacterial enzyme MetB is increased, which in turn complements the absence of IlvA. These results demonstrate how foreign DNA can increase the metabolic capacity of bacteria, not only by transfer of bona fide new genes, but also by bringing cryptic bacterial functions to light via perturbations of cellular physiology.

Continuous evolution of compact protein degradation tags regulated by selective cereblon molecular glues

Project description:Small molecule-triggered protein degradation tags (degrons) are powerful tools for biology, biotechnology, and therapeutics development. Commonly used degrons, however, are large protein domains (typically >100 amino acids) that cannot be easily or cleanly installed in endogenous protein-coding genes in most cell types. Although some zinc-finger (ZF) degrons are theoretically small enough for facile endogenous tagging, all are triggered by small molecules with substantial off-target effects, precluding their use as highly specific modulators of endogenous protein levels. We developed a phage-assisted continuous evolution platform for molecular glues (MG-PACE) and applied it to evolve ZF degrons that engage cereblon (CRBN) only in the presence of orthogonal thalidomide derivatives. MG-PACE evolved a 36-amino acid ZF degron (SD40) that binds CRBN with high affinity in the presence of PT-179, a thalidomide derivative with no detected neosubstrate activity. The evolved degron is small enough to be efficiently inserted into targeted genomic sites in human cells using prime editing. Human proteins tagged with the evolved degron are rapidly and potently degraded by the otherwise-inert PT-179. To overcome the inactivity of IMiD-based degrons in rodents, we separately used MG-PACE to evolve ZF degrons that engage mouse CRBN, enabling induced target protein degradation in mouse cells. High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of SD40 in complex with CRBN/DDB1 bound to PT-179 or pomalidomide reveal mechanistic insights into the evolution and molecular basis of SD40’s activity and specificity. Collectively, our efforts establish a system for the rapid evolution of molecular glue complexes with novel specificities and compact ZF tags that overcome shortcomings associated with existing degrons.

Rapid discovery of cyclic peptide protein aggregation inhibitors through continuous selection HTS data

Project description:We report a new platform for the rapid phenotypic selection of protein aggregation inhibitors from genetically encoded cyclic peptide libraries in E. coli based on phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE). Here, we developed a new PACE-compatible selection for protein aggregation inhibition and employed it to identify cyclic peptides that suppress amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) and human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) aggregation. Additionally, we integrated a negative selection that removes false positives and off-target hits, significantly improving cyclic peptide selectivity. We show that selected inhibitors are active when chemically re-synthesized in in vitro assays. Our platform provides a powerful new approach for the rapid discovery of cyclic peptide inhibitors of protein aggregation and may serve as the basis for the future evolution of cyclic peptides with a broad spectrum of inhibitory activities. Data deposited here are HTS data critical to the conclusions of this study.

Rapid design of bacteriophage cocktails to suppress the burden and virulence of gut-resident carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Project description:Antibiotic use can lead to expansion of multi-drug resistant pathobionts within the gut microbiome that can cause life-threatening infections. Selective alternatives to conventional antibiotics are in dire need. Here, we describe a Klebsiella PhageBank that enables the rapid design of antimicrobial bacteriophage cocktails to treat multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Using a transposon library in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, we identified host factors required for phage infection in major Klebsiella phage families. Leveraging the diversity of the PhageBank and experimental evolution strategies, we formulated combinations of phages that minimize the occurrence of phage resistance in vitro. Optimized bacteriophage cocktails selectively suppressed the burden of multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae in the mouse gut microbiome and drove bacterial populations to lose key virulence factors that act as phage receptors. Further, phage-mediated diversification of bacterial populations in the gut enabled co-evolution of phage variants with higher virulence and a broader host range. Altogether, the Klebsiella PhageBank represents a roadmap for both phage researchers and clinicians to enable phage therapy against a critical multidrug-resistant human pathogen.

Plasmid-encoded insertion sequences promote rapid adaptation in clinical enterobacteria

Project description:Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements commonly found in bacteria. Plasmids are known to fuel bacterial evolution through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), but recent analyses indicate that they can also promote intragenomic adaptations. However, the role of plasmids as catalysts of bacterial evolution beyond HGT remains poorly explored. In this study, we investigate the impact of a widespread conjugative plasmid, pOXA-48, on the evolution of various multidrug-resistant clinical enterobacteria. Combining experimental and within-patient evolution analyses, we unveil that plasmid pOXA-48 promotes bacterial evolution through the transposition of plasmid-encoded IS1 elements. Specifically, IS1-mediated gene inactivations expedite the adaptation rate of clinical strains in vitro and foster within-patient adaptation in the gut. We decipher the mechanism underlying the plasmid-mediated surge in IS1 transposition, revealing a negative feedback loop regulated by the genomic copy number of IS1. Given the overrepresentation of IS elements in bacterial plasmids, our findings propose that plasmid-mediated IS transposition represents a crucial mechanism for swift bacterial adaptation.
