Lmo0688 (GmaR) regulon at room temperature

ABSTRACT: Microarray analyses comparing the transcriptional profile of wild-type EGDe relative to ∆lmo0688 (L. monocytogenes) during standing growth at RT in BHI broth. These analyses revealed that Lmo0688 is required for expression of flagellar motility genes during growth at RT. In this study, we identify an additional component of the molecular circuitry governing temperature-dependent flagellar gene expression. At low temperatures (30˚C and below), MogR repression activity is specifically inhibited by an anti-repressor, GmaR. We demonstrate that GmaR forms a stable complex with MogR, preventing MogR from binding its DNA target sites. GmaR anti-repression activity is temperature-dependent due to DegU-dependent transcriptional activation of gmaR at low temperatures. Thus, GmaR production represents the first committed step for flagella production in L. monocytogenes. Interestingly, GmaR also functions as a glycosyltransferase exhibiting O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT) activity for flagellin (FlaA). GmaR is the first OGT to be identified and characterized in prokaryotes. Unlike the well-characterized, highly conserved OGT regulatory protein in eukaryotes, the catalytic activity of GmaR is functionally separable from its anti-repression function.

Project description:The phenotypic and gene expression traits conferred by the alternative sigma factor protein M-OM-^CL in the food-borne pathogen L. monocytogenes were investigated. M-OM-^CL was shown to be important for the efficient growth of this pathogen exposed to food preservative measures such as low storage temperatures, elevated osmolarity and acidity. Based on high throughput phenotypic analysis, M-OM-^CL function was also found to be protective in L. monocytogenes EGDe cells exposed to several antimicrobial compounds including some of the antibiotics currently applied in listeriosis treatment. The expression of flagella genes and motility were significantly compromized upon loss of M-OM-^CL function. A comparative transcriptome analysis of exponential growth EGDe wild type and sigL null cells unveiled 394 genes that are positively controlled through M-OM-^CL dependent transcriptional regulation mechanisms in this bacterium during growth at low (3M-BM-0C) and optimized (37M-BM-0C) temperature conditions. Genes identified indicate that M-OM-^CL is a pleitropic transcription regulator mediating positive expression control of genes involved in diverse cellular processes including protein synthesis, molecular transport, energy metabolism, respiration, transcription regulation, metabolite biosynthesis, and cell envelope composition modification. Overall our observations have revealed that the loss of M-OM-^CL function leads to extensive gene expression defects in L. monocytogenes EGDe cells, and these are consistent with compromized nutrient assimilation, energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and metabolite biosynthesis processes as well as altered cell envelope composition and motility. Numerous gene expression changes imposed by M-OM-^CL loss in EGDe are thus also consistent with pleiotropic phenotypic defects detected in the L. monocytogenes EGDe M-bM-^HM-^FsigL strain.
