Bacterial Progestin and AdipoQ Receptor (PAQR) homologs universally control membrane potential homeostasis

ABSTRACT: Homologs of the Progestin and AdipoQ Receptors (PAQR) are conserved in Bacteria and Eukarya. In eukaryotes, PAQRs are proposed to modulate membrane fluidity and fatty acid (FA) metabolism. The role of bacterial homologs has not yet been elucidated. Here, we show that the gene for PAQR in Escherichia coli is in the unsaturated FA biosynthesis regulon. Lack of bacterial PAQR homologs from the phylogenetically distant E. coli and Bacillus subtilis provoke subtle changes in FA profiles that do not translate to control of membrane fluidity. Instead, using physiological assays and membrane proteomics, we show that these PAQR mutants share a dysregulated membrane potential, which in E. coli, causes increased antibiotic resistance, altered pH homeostasis, and reduced motility and ATP production. The role of PAQR homologs in E. coli and B. subtilis, and thus the shared ancestral role of bacterial PAQRs, is regulation of transmembrane homeostasis linked to FA metabolism.

Genetic analysis of the role of the conserved inner membrane protein CvpA in EHEC resistance to deoxycholate

Project description:The function of cvpA, a bacterial gene predicted to encode an inner membrane protein, is largely unknown. Early studies in E. coli linked cvpA to Colicin V secretion and recent work revealed that it is required for robust intestinal colonization by diverse enteric pathogens. In enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), cvpA is required for resistance to the bile salt deoxycholate (DOC). Here, we carried out genome-scale transposon-insertion mutagenesis and spontaneous suppressor analysis to uncover cvpA’s genetic interactions and identify common pathways that rescue the sensitivity of a ∆cvpA EHEC mutant to DOC. These screens demonstrated that mutations predicted to activate the σE-mediated extracytoplasmic stress response bypass the ∆cvpA mutant’s susceptibility to DOC. Consistent with this idea, we found that deletions in rseA and msbB and direct overexpression of rpoE restored DOC resistance to the ∆cvpA mutant. Analysis of the distribution of CvpA homologs revealed that this inner membrane protein is conserved across diverse bacterial phyla, in both enteric and non-enteric bacteria that are not exposed to bile. Together, our findings suggest that CvpA plays a role in cell envelope homeostasis in response to DOC and similar stress stimuli in diverse bacteria.

Bacteria modulate tamoxifen-induced death via host fatty acid metabolism

Project description:Our microbiota affects numerous processes involved in development, health, and the response to chemotherapeutic drugs. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator that is used to treat ER positive breast cancer, but that at high doses kills both ER positive and ER-negative breast cancer cells. We recapitulate this off-target effect in Caenorhabditis elegans, which does not have an ER ortholog. We find that different bacteria dramatically modulate tamoxifen toxicity in C. elegans, with a three-order of magnitude difference between animals fed Escherichia coli, Comamonas aquatica, and Bacillus subtilis. Remarkably, host fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis mitigates tamoxifen toxicity, and different bacteria provide the animal with different FAs, resulting in distinct FA profiles. Surprisingly these bacteria modulate tamoxifen toxicity by different death mechanisms, some of which are modulated by FA supplementation and others by antioxidants. Together, this work reveals a complex interplay between bacteria, FA metabolism and tamoxifen toxicity that may provide a blueprint for similar studies in more complex mammals.

Depletion of undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatases (UPP-Pases) disrupts cell envelope biogenesis in Bacillus subtilis

Project description:The integrity of the bacterial cell envelope is essential to sustain life by countering the high turgor pressure of the cell and providing a barrier against chemical insults. In Bacillus subtilis, synthesis of both peptidoglycan and wall teichoic acids requires a common C55 lipid carrier, undecaprenyl-pyrophosphate (UPP), to ferry precursors across the cytoplasmic membrane. The synthesis and recycling of UPP requires a phosphatase to generate the monophosphate form Und-P, which is the substrate for peptidoglycan and wall teichoic acid synthases. Using an optimized CRISPR-dCas9 based transcriptional repression system (CRISPRi), we demonstrate that B. subtilis requires either of two UPP phosphatases, UppP or BcrC, for viability. We show that a third predicted lipid phosphatase (YodM), with homology to diacylglycerol pyrophosphatases, can also support growth when overexpressed. Depletion of UPP phosphatase activity leads to morphological defects consistent with a failure of cell envelope synthesis and strongly activates the M-dependent cell envelope stress response, including bcrC which encodes one of the two UPP phosphatases. These results highlight the utility of an optimized CRISPRi system for investigation of synthetic lethal gene pairs, clarify the nature of the B. subtilis UPP-Pase enzymes, and provide further evidence linking the M regulon to cell envelope homeostasis pathways.

Bacillus subtilis WalR (YycF) ChIP-chip Bacillus subtilis; Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis str. 168

Project description:Identification of the specific WalR (YycF) binding regions on the B. subtilis chromosome during exponential and phosphate starvation growth phases. The data serves to extend the WalRK regulon in Bacillus subtilis and its role in cell wall metabolism, as well as implying a role in several other cellular processes. For each sample analyzed in this study three biological replicates were performed. Three different samples were taken from a strain expressing the WalR-SPA protein as well as from wild-type (168) without a tagged WalR. Samples were taken from exponentially growing cells in low phosphate medium (LPDM) as well as from phosphate-limited cells (T2). Each sample compares ChIP DNA vs. Total DNA from the same cells.

Genome-wide identification of Bacillus subtilis Zur-binding sites.

Project description:The transcriptional factor Zur plays a key role in regulating zinc homeostasis in Bacillus subtilis. The genomic sites bound by Zur were mapped using a chromatine immunoprecipitation approach. This allowed the identification of 80 inter- and intragenic chromosomal sites bound by Zur. This data set contains 2 samples. Immunoprecipitated (IP) DNA from Bacillus subtilis BSAS36 strain (BSB1, a tryptophan-prototrophic derivative 168 strain expressing a SPA-tagged Zur protein) were extracted from bacterial cells in the exponential growth phase. IP and whole-cell extract DNA were hybridized on tiling array to generate ChIP-on-chip profiles. Two biological replicates were anlyzed.

Nascent elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq) for Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis reveals a consensus pause sequence enriched at translation start sites.

Project description:Transcription by RNA polymerase (RNAP) is interrupted by pauses that play diverse regulatory roles. Although individual pauses have been studied in vitro, the determinants of pauses in vivo and their distribution throughout the bacterial genome remain unknown. Using nascent transcript sequencing we identify a 16 nt consensus pause sequence in E. coli that accounts for known regulatory pause sites as well as ~20,000 new in vivo pause sites. In vitro single-molecule and ensemble analyses demonstrate that these pauses result from RNAP/nucleic-acid interactions that inhibit next-nucleotide addition. The consensus sequence also leads to pausing by RNAPs from diverse lineages and is enriched at translation start sites in both E. coli and B. subtilis. Our results thus implicate a conserved mechanism unifying known and newly identified pause events. Examination of nascent transcripts in E. coli and B. subtilis. 6 samples of E. coli NET-seq, 1 sample of E. coli mRNA-seq, and 1 sample of B. subtilis NET-seq.

Interspecies comparison of the bacterial response to allicin reveals species-specific defense strategies

Project description:Allicin, a volatile diallylthiosulfinate from garlic (Allium sativum), exhibits broad-spectrum activity against microbial pathogens. It disrupts thiol and redox homeostasis, proteostasis, and cell membrane integrity leading to inactivation of even multidrug resistant strains. Since medicine demands cost-efficient antimicrobials with so far unexploited mechanisms, allicin with its multifaceted mode of action is a promising lead structure for future therapeutics. However, while progress is being made in fully unraveling its mode of action, little is known on bacterial adaptation strategies to cope with allicin-like stress. Some isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, withstand exposure to higher allicin concentrations than other bacteria due to as yet unknown cellular mechanisms. To elucidate resistance and sensitivity-conferring cellular processes we compared the acute proteomic responses of the resistant species P. aeruginosa and sensitive species Bacillus subtilis to the published proteomic response of E. coli to allicin treatment. The cellular defense strategies shared functional features: proteins involved in protein (re)folding and repair, ROS and RSS detoxification, and cell envelope modification were upregulated. In both Gram-negative species, protein synthesis of up to 64% of the proteins synthesized in untreated cells was down-regulated while the sensitive, Gram-positive B. subtilis responded by upregulation of multiple regulons. A comparison of the B. subtilis proteomic response to a library of proteomic responses to antibiotic treatment, revealed 30 proteins specifically upregulated by allicin. Other upregulated proteins indicating oxidative stress were shared with nitrofurantoin and diamide. Microscopy-based assays further indicate that in B. subtilis cell wall integrity was impaired.
