The Legionella pneumophila genome evolved to accommodate multiple regulatory mechanisms controlled by the CsrA-system

ABSTRACT: The RNA binding protein CsrA is the master regulator of the bi-phasic life cycle of Legionella pneumophila governing virulence expression in this intracellular pathogen. The goal of the study was to use deep sequencing of RNA enriched by co-immunoprecipitation with epitope tagged CsrA to identify CsrA-associated transcripts at the genome level. We found 478 mRNAs or non-coding RNAs to be targets of CsrA. Among those major regulators including FleQ, the regulator of flagella expression, LqsR, the regulator of quorum sensing and RpoS implicated in stress response were identified. The expression of over 40 type IV secreted effector proteins important for intracellular survival and virulence are under the control of CsrA. Combined with transcriptomics, whole shotgun proteomics of a wild type and a CsrA mutant strain and functional analyses of several CsrA-targeted RNAs we identified the first riboswitch in L. pneumophila, a thiamine pyrophosphate riboswitch, and discovered a new mode of regulation by CsrA that allows L. pneumophila to regulate the pentose phosphate pathway and the glycolysis combined or individually although they share genes in a single operon. Our results further underline the indispensable role of CsrA in the life cycle of L. pneumophila and provide new insights into its regulatory roles and mechanisms.

Proteomics identification of CsrA-regulated proteins in Legionella pneumophila

Project description:The carbon storage regulator protein CsrA regulates cellular processes post-transcriptionally by binding to target-RNAs altering translation efficiency and/or their stability. In this dataset we identified proteins regulated by CsrA in the human bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila by labelfree shotgun proteomics. WT and ∆csrA bacteria were grown to exponential phase in three biological replicates. Bacteria were lysed by sonication and extracted proteins were reducted, alkylated and digested with trypsin. The resulting peptide mixtures were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and proteins were identified by the MaxQuant software. In total of 1,448 proteins were quantified by the MaxLFQ algorithm in a labelfree approach. Cluster analysis showed that expression of almost all proteins was affected by the mutation of CsrA as about half of the identified proteins were up and half were down regulated. About 15% of the proteome (238 proteins) was strongly affected with 132 proteins significantly up and 109 significantly down regulated dependent on CsrA.

The pyruvate-tricarboxylic acid cycle node: a focal point of virulence control in the enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis [csrA mutant]

Project description:Whole transcriptome assessment of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain YPIII. The Y. pseudotuberculosis csrA regulon was determined in Yersinia minimal minimum developed for the study. CsrA is a key regulator coordinating virulence and metabolism. Y. pseudotuberculosis YPIII or the isogenic csrA mutant strain were cultivated at 25M-BM-0C under aeration on a rotary shaker. First pre-cultures were grown in a 1:1 mixture of HAMM-bM-^@M-^Ys F-12 Nutrient Mixture (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, US) and liquid DMEM medium (Biochrom, Berlin, DE). Second pre-cultures and main cultures were grown in a Yersinia minimal medium (YMM). The analysis comprised three biological replicates for each strain. In addition, samples, taken at three different time points of the exponential growth phase, were used to validate constant expression during the cultivation. Total RNA was extracted using SV Total RNA Isolation System (Promega). The samples were treated with RNase-free DNase (Roche Applied Science) and the quality of the RNA was confirmed by the lack of PCR amplification of the hns gene and by using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.

CsrA-controlled proteins important for Acinetobacter baumannii desiccation tolerance

Project description:Hospital environments serve as excellent reservoirs for the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii in part because it is exceptionally tolerant to desiccation. To understand the functional basis this trait, we used transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) to identify genes contributing to desiccation tolerance in A. baumannii strain AB5075. We identified 142 candidate desiccation tolerance genes, one of which encoded the global post-transcriptional regulator CsrA. We characterized CsrA in more detail by using proteomics to identify proteins that were differentially present in wild type and csrA mutant cells. Among these were a predicted universal stress protein A, an iron-containing redox protein, a KGG-domain containing protein, and catalase. Subsequent mutant analysis showed that each of these proteins was required for A. baumannii desiccation tolerance. The amino acid sequence of the KGG-domain containing protein predicts that it is an intrinsically disordered protein. Such proteins are critical for desiccation tolerance of the small animals called tardigrades. This protein also has a repeat nucleic acid binding amino acid motif, suggesting that it may protect A. baumannii DNA from desiccation-induced damage.

The CpxRA two-component system promotes intracellular survival and is a key regulator of virulence factors in Legionella pneumophila

Project description:The bacterium Legionella pneumophila is capable of intracellular replication within freshwater protozoa as well as human alveolar macrophages, the latter of which results in the serious pneumonia Legionnaires’ disease. A primary factor involved in these host cell interactions is the Dot/Icm Type IV secretion system that is responsible for translocating effector proteins needed to establish and maintain the bacterial replicative niche. Several regulatory factors have been identified to control the expression of the Dot/Icm system and effectors, one of which is the CpxRA two-component system, suggesting essentiality for virulence. However, studies elsewhere have shown that L. pneumophila strains harboring mutated cpxRA genes have minimal to no impact on L. pneumophila intracellular growth in protozoa and macrophages. In this study, we generated L. pneumophila cpxR, cpxA, and cpxRA in-frame null mutant strains to further delineate the role of the CpxRA system in bacterial survival and virulence. Surprisingly, we found that cpxR and cpxRA are essential for intracellular replication within Acanthamoeba castellanii, but not in U937 macrophage-like cells. Transcriptome analysis revealed that CpxRA regulates a large number of virulence-associated proteins including a number of Dot/Icm effectors as well as 14 Type II secreted substrates. Furthermore, the cpxR and cpxRA mutants were more sodium resistant than wildtype, and cpxRA expression reaches maximal levels during post-exponential phase. Taken together, our findings suggest the CpxRA system is a key contributor to L. pneumophila virulence via virulence factor regulation.
