Identification of the PhoB regulon and role of PhoU in the phosphate-starvation response of Caulobacter crescentus (ChIP-seq)

ABSTRACT: An ability to sense and respond to changes in extracellular phosphate is critical to the survival of most bacteria. For Caulobacter crescentus, which typically lives in phosphate-limited environments, this process is especially crucial. Like many bacteria, Caulobacter responds to phosphate limitation through a conserved two-component signaling pathway called PhoR-PhoB, but the direct regulon of PhoB in this organism is unknown. Here, we use ChIP-Seq to map the global binding patterns of the phosphate-responsive transcriptional regulator PhoB in both phosphate-limited and -replete conditions. Combined with genome-wide expression profiling, our work demonstrates that PhoB is induced to regulate nearly 50 genes in phosphate-starved conditions. The PhoB regulon is comprised primarily of genes known or predicted to help Caulobacter scavenge for and import inorganic phosphate, including 15 different membrane transporters. We also investigated the regulatory role of PhoU, a widely conserved protein proposed to coordinate phosphate import with expression of the PhoB regulon by directly modulating the histidine kinase PhoR. However, our studies show that it likely does not play such a role in Caulobacter as depleting PhoU has no significant effect on PhoB-dependent gene expression. Instead, cells lacking PhoU exhibit a striking accumulation of large polyphosphate granules suggesting that PhoU participates in controlling intracellular phosphate metabolism.

An intracellular phosphorus-starvation signal activates the PhoB/PhoR two-component system in Salmonella enterica

Project description:Bacteria acquire P primarily as inorganic orthophosphate (Pi, PO43-). Once internalized, Pi is rapidly assimilated into biomass during the synthesis of ATP. Because Pi is essential, but excessive ATP is toxic, the acquisition of environmental Pi is tightly regulated. In the bacterium Salmonella enterica (Salmonella), growth in Pi-limiting environments activates the membrane sensor histidine kinase PhoR, leading to the phosphorylation of its cognate transcriptional regulator PhoB and subsequent transcription of genes involved in adaptations to low Pi. Pi limitation is thought to promote PhoR kinase activity by altering the conformation of a membrane signaling complex comprised by PhoR, the multicomponent Pi transporter system PstSACB and the regulatory protein PhoU. The identity of the low Pi signal and how it controls PhoR activity remain unknown. Here we characterize the PhoB-dependent and independent transcriptional changes elicited by Salmonella in response to P starvation, and identify PhoB-independent genes that are required for the utilization of several organic-P sources. We use this knowledge to identify the cellular compartment where the PhoR signaling complex senses the low Pi signal. We demonstrate that the PhoB and PhoR signal transduction proteins can be maintained in an inactive state even when Salmonella is grown in media lacking Pi. Our results establish that PhoR activity is controlled by by an intracellular signal resulting from P insufficiency.

Genome-wide characterization of PhoB binding profile in Escherichia coli (gene expression data)

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation was combined with high-density tiling array (ChIP-chip) and gene expression microarray to reveal the adaptive responses of Escherichia coli to phosphate starvation. The first sketch of the genome-wide distribution of PhoB binding profile was unveiled and 43 regions were identified as the PhoB binding regions. The presence of a significant common motif in these binding regions allowed us to reconstruct the PhoB binding pattern. By comparing the ChIP-chip and microarray datasets, we were also able to identify genes directly or indirectly affected through PhoB regulation. Nineteen out of the 287 differentially expressed genes in the presence and absence of PhoB activity were considered as the genes directly regulated by PhoB. The adaptive responses affected through PhoB regulation are discussed and these responses involve in several important biological functions including transcriptional regulation, transportation, membrane component arrangement, sigma factor modulation and DNA replication inhibition. Under phosphate starvation condition, the gene expression profiles from MG1655 and its PhoB knock-out isogenetic strain are compared to identify the PhoB affected genes.
