Integration host factor and LuxR synergistically bind DNA to coactivate quorum-sensing genes in Vibrio harveyi.

ABSTRACT: LuxR is the master quorum sensing regulator in Vibrio harveyi. This transcription factor controls the expression of over 600 genes to coordinate group behaviors. In order to understand how LuxR regulates transcription we identified a co-regulator, integration host factor (IHF). In this study we performed RNA-seq to show that the LuxR and IHF regulons overlap significantly.

Hierarchical transcriptional regulation of quorum sensing genes in Vibrio harveyi

Project description:Quorum sensing controls hundreds of genes in vibrios required for cell density-specific behaviors, including bioluminescence, biofilm formation, competence, secretion, and motility. The central regulator in the quorum sensing pathway in vibrios is LuxR/HapR, which directly regulates >100 genes in the 625-gene regulon of Vibrio harveyi. Among these directly regulated genes are 15 transcription factors, which we predicted would comprise the second tier in the hierarchy of the quorum sensing regulon. To better study the mechanism of regulation of the quorum sensing network, we mapped all transcriptional start sites in V. harveyi using dRNA-seq. From these data, we determined the relative position of LuxR binding sites in the promoters of genes directly regulated by LuxR. We confirmed that LuxR directly binds to the promoters of the genes encoding transcription factors and quantified the extent of LuxR activation or repression of transcript levels. Finally, we determined the individual regulons for a subset of transcription factors that have not been previously studied. For regulators such as LysR- or AsnC/Lrp-type transcription factors, the regulons contained >100 genes that contained both unique and overlapping genes with the LuxR regulon. These data support a model in which LuxR directly regulates other transcription factors, which act to further alter the second tier of the gene expression cascade producing cell density behaviors in V. harveyi.

Global H-NS counter-silencing by LuxR activates quorum sensing gene expression

Project description:Bacteria coordinate cellular behaviors using a cell-cell communication system termed quorum sensing. In Vibrio harveyi, the master quorum sensing transcriptional factor LuxR directly regulates >100 genes in response to changes in population density. Here, we show that LuxR derepresses quorum sensing loci by competing with H-NS, a global transcriptional repressor that oligomerizes on DNA to form filaments and bridges. We first identified H-NS as a repressor of bioluminescence gene expression, for which LuxR is a required activator. In an hns deletion strain, LuxR is no longer necessary for transcription activation of the bioluminescence genes, suggesting that the primary role of LuxR is to displace H-NS to derepress gene expression. Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, we determined that H-NS and LuxR co-regulate and co-occupy 28 promoters driving expression of 63 genes across the genome. ChIP-PCR assays show that as autoinducer concentration increases, LuxR protein accumulates at co-occupied promoters while H-NS protein disperses. LuxR is sufficient to evict H-NS from promoter DNA in vitro, which is dependent on LuxR DNA binding activity. From these findings, we propose a model in which LuxR serves as a counter-silencer at H-NS-repressed quorum sensing loci by disrupting H-NS nucleoprotein complexes that block transcription.

Total differential RNA-seq in the marine proteobacterium Vibrio harveyi

Project description:Objectives: determination of transcription start sites in Vibrio harveyi genome and discovery of new transcripts Methods: we performed differential seqencing of total RNA isolated from o.n. control Vibrio harveyi cultures. Sample treatment with Terminator EXonuclease (TEX) allowed differenciation of primary and secondary transcripts, helping in the definition of transcription start sites (TSS) Results: by data-mining RNA-seq data and performing some Northern Blot experiments we were able to detect new putative small-RNAs, along with these results, a more deep analisys of our RNA-seq data will give futher insight into genetic organization of Vibrio harveyi genome to help in its investigation

OpaR, a homolog of Vibrio harveyi LuxR, controls opacity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Project description:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an organism well adapted to communal life on surfaces. When grown on a surface or in a viscous layer, the bacterium induces a large gene system and differentiates to swarmer cells capable of movement over and colonization of surfaces. V. parahaemolyticus displays additional phenotypic versatility manifested as variable colony morphology, switching between translucent and opaque colony types. Although not itself luminescent, V. parahaemolyticus produces autoinducer molecules capable of inducing luminescence in Vibrio harveyi. To examine the role of quorum signaling in the lifestyles of V. parahaemolyticus, the functional homolog of the gene encoding the V. harveyi autoinducer-controlled transcriptional regulatory protein LuxR was cloned. Sequence analysis of the clone predicted an open reading frame with a deduced product 96% identical to LuxR. Introduction of the clone carrying the luxR-like locus into V. parahaemolyticus dramatically affected colony morphology, converting a translucent strain to an opaque one. When the coding sequence for the luxR homolog was placed under the control of the Ptac promoter, conversion to the opaque phenotype became inducible by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside. Allelic disruption of the luxR-like gene on the chromosome of an opaque strain produced a translucent strain proficient in swarming ability. Primer extension mapping demonstrated opaR transcription in opaque but not translucent cell types. It is postulated that this gene, which has been named opaR, encodes a transcription factor controlling cell type. The underlying genetic basis for opaque-translucent variation may be the consequence of a genomic alteration detected in the opaR locus of opaque and translucent strains.
