Chromatin Immunoprecipitation of HA-tagged PA14_69770 and RpoA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa UCBPP-PA14

ABSTRACT: Extremely slow growth imposed by energy limitation is a ubiquitous but poorly understood physiological state for microbes. We used oxygen limitation to impose this state on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and measured newly synthesized proteins using a time-selective proteome labeling method (BONCAT) to identify relevant regulators and metabolic pathways. We further characterized one upregulated protein that has no homology to any known protein domains. This small, acidic protein is post-transcriptionally regulated and physically interacts with RNA polymerase, binding near the secondary channel during transcription elongation, and leading to widespread effects on gene expression. For some genes, the impacts on transcript and protein levels are different, suggesting possible modulation of translation as well. These effects have phenotypic consequences, as deletion of the gene affects biofilm formation, secondary metabolite production, and fitness in fluctuating conditions. Based on these phenotypes, we have designated the protein SutA (survival under transitions).

Project description:Background Using pigs as organ donors has advanced xenotransplantation to the point that it is almost ready for clinical use. However, there is still a zoonotic risk associated with xenotransplantation, and the potential transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses needs to be surveyed. Despite significant attempts to eliminate this risk, by the selection of PERV-C free pigs with low expression of PERV-A, -B, and by the genome-wide inactivation of PERV using CRISPR/Cas9, the impact of superinfection resistance (SIR) was not investigated. SIR is a viral trait that prevents reinfection (superinfection). For PERV, the underlying mechanism is unclear, whether and how cells, that harbor functional PERV, are protected. Using PERV-C(5683) as a reference virus, we investigated SIR in a newly developed in vitro model to pursue the mechanism and confirm its protective effect. Results We developed three PERV-C constructs on the basis of PERV-C(5683), each of which carries a hemagglutinin tag (HA-tag) at a different position of the envelope gene (SP-HA, HA-VRA, and RPep-HA), to distinguish between primary infection and superinfection. The newly generated PERV-C(5683)-HA viruses were characterized while quantifying the viral RNA, reverse transcriptase activity, protein expression analysis, and infection studies. It was demonstrated that SP-HA and RPep-HA were comparable to PERV-C(5683), whereas HA-VRA was not replication competent. SP-HA and RPep-HA were chosen to challenge PERV-C(5683)-positive ST-IOWA cells demonstrating that PERV-C-HA viruses are not able to superinfect those cells. They do not integrate into the genome and are not expressed. Conclusions The mechanism of SIR applies to PERV-C. The production of PERV-C particles serves as a defense mechanism from superinfection with exogenous PERV-C. It was demonstrated by newly generated PERV-C(5683)-HA clones that might be used as a cutting-edge tool. The HA-tagging of PERV-C is novel, providing a blueprint for the tagging of other human tropic PERV viruses. The tagged viruses are suitable for additional in vitro and in vivo infection studies and will contribute, to basic research on viral invasion and pathogenesis. It will maintain the virus safety of XTx. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12977-023-00630-x.
