Comparison of Expression Profiles for Agrobacterium tumefaciens visR mutant to wild-type strain.

ABSTRACT: Many bacteria colonize surfaces and transition to a sessile mode of growth. The plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens produces a unipolar polysaccharide (UPP) adhesin at single cell poles that contact surfaces. Here we report that elevated levels of the intracellular signal cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) lead to surface-contact-independent UPP production and a red colony phenotype due to production of UPP and the exopolysaccharide cellulose, when A. tumefaciens is incubated with the polysaccharide stain Congo Red. Transposon mutations with elevated Congo Red staining identified presumptive UPP-negative regulators, mutants for which were hyperadherent, producing UPP irrespective of surface contact. Multiple independent mutations were obtained in visN and visR, activators of flagellar motility in A. tumefaciens, now found to inhibit UPP and cellulose production. Expression analysis in a visR mutant and isolation of suppressor mutations, identified three diguanylate cyclases inhibited by VisR. Null mutations for two of these genes decrease attachment and UPP production, but do not alter cellular c-di-GMP levels. However, analysis of catalytic site mutants revealed their GGDEF motifs are required to increase UPP production and surface attachment. Mutations in a specific presumptive c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase also elevate UPP production and attachment, consistent with c-di-GMP activation of surface-dependent adhesin deployment.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa post-translational responses to elevated c-di-GMP levels

Project description:C-di-GMP signaling can directly influence bacterial behavior by affecting the functionality of c-di-GMP-binding proteins. In addition, c-di-GMP can exert an indirect and more global effect on gene transcription or translation, e.g. via riboswitches or by binding to transcription factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of changes in intracellular c-di-GMP levels on gene expression and protein production in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We induced c-di-GMP production via an ectopically introduced diguanylate cyclase and recorded the transcriptional, translational as well as proteomic profile of the cells. We demonstrate that rising levels of c-di-GMP in P. aeruginosa under growth conditions otherwise characterized by low c-di-GMP levels immediately cause a switch to a non-motile, auto-aggregative phenotype. This switch became apparent before any c-di-GMP-dependent role on transcription, translation, or protein abundance could be observed. Our results indicate that sudden rises in global c-di-GMP pools affect the P. aeruginosa phenotype via an alteration of protein functionality, rather than an impact on global gene transcription or translation.

The scr circuit in Vibrio parahaemolyticus: output targets and transcriptional regulation by a c-di-GMP responsive protein

Project description:Vibrio parahaemolyticus scr genes modulate expression of gene sets pertinent to swarming and biofilm formation. They do so by affecting the level of the second messenger c-di-GMP. Here we explore the extent of this regulation by comparing the transcriptomes of a scrABC mutant and its wild-type parental strain. The scope of transcriptional effects modulated by c-di-GMP includes ~100 genes that are positively and negatively regulated. An elevated cellular level of c-di-GMP represses the surface sensing regulon including the genes encoding the lateral flagellar and type three secretion systems while inducing expression of genes encoding cell surface molecules and capsular polysaccharide. Expression of a few transcriptional regulators was also affected, and here we describe the role of one, CpsQ. CpsQ is one of four V. parahaemolyticus homologs in the CsgD/VpsT family of regulators, members of which have been implicated in c-di-GMP signaling. Mutations in cpsQ, like defects in another previously identified capsule regulator, cpsR, suppress the sticky phenotype of scr mutants. By using a combination of mutant and reporter analyses in Vibrio and E. coli, CpsQ is shown to be the direct positive regulator of cpsA transcription and its cpsA-activating ability is found to be responsive to the cellular level of c-di-GMP. Unexpectedly, we find that a low level of this nucleotide diminishes the stability of CpsQ. The molecular interplay in this signaling circuit is further defined by demonstrating that CpsQ is epistatic to CpsS, a negative regulator of capsule. CpsR activates cpsQ, and CpsQ can also regulate its own transcription. Wildtype Vibrio parahaemolyticus (LM5674) and scrABC mutant (LM6567) were grown on rich mediim agar plates and gene expression profiles were compared.

Comparison of expression profiles for Agrobacterium tumefaciens wild-type strain C58 and isogenic pdhS2 (Atu1888) deletion strain

Project description:A conserved regulatory pathway directs developmental transitions and asymmetries in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Core components of this coordination of division and development (CDD) pathway include two integrated phosphorelays. One of these phosphorelays includes at least four histidine sensor kinase homologues, DivJ, PleC, PdhS1, and PdhS2, and at least two response regulators, DivK and PleD. Previously we demonstrated that PdhS2 reciprocally regulates biofilm formation and swimming motility. In the current study we further dissect the architecture of the CDD pathway in A. tumefaciens with respect to PdhS2. We show that PdhS2-dependent effects on attachment and motility require the response regulator, DivK, but do not require PdhS2 autokinase or phosphotransfer activities. We also demonstrate that PdhS2 regulation of biofilm formation is dependent upon multiple diguanylate cyclases, including PleD, DgcA, and DgcB, implying that PdhS2 regulation of this process intersects with pathways regulating levels of the second messenger cyclic-di-GMP. Finally, we show that upon cell division a GFP fusion to PdhS2 dynamically localizes to the new pole of the bacterium suggesting that PdhS2 controls processes in the daughter cell compartment of predivisional cells. These observations suggest that PdhS2 negatively regulates DivK, and possibly PleD, activity to control developmental processes in the daughter cell compartment of predivisional cells, as well as in newly released motile daughter cells. Three biological replicates, independent RNA preparations, one dye swap.

The Pleiotropic Effects of c-di-GMP content in Pseudomonas syringae

Project description:Although the ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays important roles in various cellular functions including the formation of biofilm in a wide range of bacteria, its function in model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is largely elusive. In order to test this in P. syringae, we overexpressed a diguanylate cyclase (YedQ) and a phosphodiesterase (YhjH) that are originally from Escherichia coli, resulting in high and low c-di-GMP levels in P. syringae, respectively. Through performing genome-wide RNA sequencing of these two strains, we found that c-di-GMP regulates (i) fliN, fliE and flhA genes, which are associated with flagellar assembly, (ii) alg8 and alg44, which are related to exopolysaccaride biosynthesis pathway, (iii) pvdE, pvdP and pvsA genes, related to siderophore biosynthesis pathway, and (iv) sodA, which is a superoxide dismutase. In particular, we identified five genes sensitive to elevated c-di-GMP level and constructed five luciferase-based reporters that effectively respond to intracellular level of c-di-GMP in P. syringae, which can be used to measure c-di-GMP levels in vivo in the future. Based on the RNA-seq results, phenotypic assays confirmed that c-di-GMP regulated many important biological pathways in P. syringae, such as negative regulation of type III secretion system (T3SS) and motility as well as positive regulation of EPS production, siderophore production and oxidative stress resistance. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that c-di-GMP is closely related to virulence and stress response in P. syringae, suggesting that tuning its level can be a new strategy to protect plants from the attack of this pathogen in the future.

Phenotypic and integrated analysis of a comprehensive Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 library of mutants lacking cyclic-di-GMP-related genes

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium able to survive and adapt in a multitude of niches as well as thriving within many different hosts. This versatility lies within a large genome of ca 6Mbp and a tight control in the expression of thousands of genes. Among the regulatory mechanisms widely spread in bacteria, cyclic-di-GMP signaling is one which influences all levels of control. It is made by diguanylate cyclases and broken by phosphodiesterases while the intracellular level of this molecule drives phenotypic responses. The signaling involve modification of enzymes or proteins function upon c-di-GMP binding, including modifying the activity of regulators which in turn will impact the transcriptome. In P. aeruginosa, there are ca 40 genes encoding putative DGC or PDE. The combined activity of those enzymes should reflect the c-di-GMP concentration while specific phenotypic output could be correlated to a given set of dgc/pde. This notion of specificity has been addressed in several studies and different strains of P. aeruginosa. Here, we engineered a mutant library for the 41 individual dgc/pde genes in P. aeruginosa PAO1. In most cases, we observed a significant to slight variation in the global c-di-GMP pool, with essentially an impact on biofilm phenotypes including initial attachment and maturation, while very little is observed on motility which differs from previous studies. We observe that minor changes in c-di-GMP level have a drastic phenotypic impact thus supporting the idea of local vs global c-di-GMP pool. Our RNA-seq analysis indicates that all PAO1 dgc/pde genes are expressed in both planktonic and biofilm growth conditions and our work suggests that c-di-GMP networks owe to be reconstructed in one single strain and cannot be built by cross-comparison with studies in other strains.

A meet-up of AcP and c-di-GMP modulates BldD activity for development and antibiotic production in actinobacteria

Project description:Actinobacteria are ubiquitous bacteria undergoing complex developmental transition coincided with antibiotics production in response to stress or nutrients starvation. This transition is mainly controlled by the interaction between the second messenger c-di-GMP and the master repressor BldD. To date, the upstream factors and the global signal networks that regulate this intriguing cell biological processes still remained unknown. In Saccharopolyspora erythraea, we found that acetyl phosphate (AcP) accumulation resulting from environmental nitrogen stress participated in the regulation of BldD activity through cooperation with c-di-GMP. AcP-induced acetylation of BldD at K11 caused the BldD dimer to fall apart and dissociate from the target DNA, as well as disrupted the signal transduction of c-di-GMP, thus governed both developmental transition and antibiotics production. Meanwhile, practical mutation of BldDK11R bypassing the acetylation regulation could enhance the positive effect of BldD on antibiotics production. Our finding represents an entirely different role of the covalent modification caused by AcP, which integrated with c-di-GMP signal in modulating the activity of BldD for development and antibiotic production coping with environmental stress. This coherent and highly conserved regulatory network might offer new insight into the direct connections from specific regulator to the actinobacteria biological process associated with major morphogenetic event
