Project description:Candida auris is frequently associated with biofilm-related invasive infections. The resistant profile of these biofilms necessitates innovative therapeutic options, where quorum sensing may be a potential target. Farnesol and tyrosol are two fungal quorum-sensing molecules with antifungal effects at supraphysiological concentrations. Here, we performed genome-wide transcript profiling with C. auris biofilms following farnesol or tyrosol exposure using transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq). Since transition metals play a central role in fungal virulence and biofilm formation, levels of intracellular calcium, magnesium, and iron were determined following farnesol or tyrosol treatment using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Farnesol caused an 89.9% and 73.8% significant reduction in the calcium and magnesium content, respectively, whereas tyrosol resulted in 82.6%, 76.6%, and 81.2% decrease in the calcium, magnesium, and iron content, respectively, compared to the control. Genes involved in biofilm events, glycolysis, ergosterol biosynthesis, fatty acid oxidation, iron metabolism, and autophagy were primarily affected in treated cells. To prove ergosterol quorum-sensing molecule interactions, microdilution-based susceptibility testing was performed, where the complexation of farnesol, but not tyrosol, with ergosterol was impeded in the presence of exogenous ergosterol, resulting in a minimum inhibitory concentration increase in the quorum-sensing molecules. This study revealed several farnesol- and tyrosol-specific responses, which will contribute to the development of alternative therapies against C. auris biofilms.

Project description:To address the question of how quorum sensing controls biofilm formation in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC23270, the transcriptome of this organism in conditions in which quorum sensing response is stimulated by a synthetic acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) analogue has been studied. Tetrazole 9c was used in DNA microarray experiments that allowed the identification of genes regulated by quorum sensing signalling, and more particularly those involved in early biofilm formation.

Project description:The etiologic agent of bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, senses cell density-dependent chemical signals to synchronize transcription between cells of the population in a process named quorum sensing. Though the closely related enteric pathogen Y. pseudotuberculosis uses quorum sensing system to regulate motility, the role of quorum sensing in Y. pestis has been unclear. In this study we performed transcriptional profiling experiments to identify Y. pestis quorum sensing regulated functions. Our analysis revealed that acyl-homoserine lactone based quorum sensing controls the expression of several metabolic functions. Maltose fermentation and the glyoxylate bypass are induced by acyl-homoserine lactone signaling. This effect was seen to be temperature conditional. Metabolism is unresponsive to quorum sensing regulation at mammalian body temperature, indicating a potential role for quorum sensing regulation of metabolism specifically during colonization of the flea vector. It is proposed that utilization of alternative carbon sources may enhance growth and/or survival during prolonged flea colonization, contributing to maintenance of plague in nature.

Project description:Comparison of gene expression in C. elegans with biofilm compared to C. elegans without biofilm. Background: Yersinia pseudotuberculosis YpIII strain forms a biofilm on C. elegans. The biofilm develops over a period of hours. Thus, at 1 hour the worm has little actual biofilm but exhibits abnormal movement; at 24 hours the worm has a large mass of biofilm, mostly over anterior end. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis 3384 does not form a biofilm on C. elegans. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis mutant in the ypsR/ytbR locus does not form a biofilm by virtue of having a non-functional quorum sensing system.

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.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative pathogen that has emerged as one of the most troublesome pathogens for health care institutions globally. Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell-to-cell communication that relies on the production, secretion and detection of autoinducer (AI) signals to share information about cell density and regulate gene expression accordingly. The molecular and genetic basis of Acinetobacter baumannii virulence remains poorly understood. Therefore, the contribution of the abaI/abaR quorum sensing system to growth characteristics, morphology, biofilm formation, resistance, motility and virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii was studied in detail. RNA-seq analysis indicated that genes involved in various aspects of energy production and conversion, Valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation and lipid transport and metabolism are associated with bacterial pathogenicity. Our work provides a new insight into abaI/abaR quorum sensing system effects pathogenicity in A. baumannii. We propose that targeting the AHL synthase enzyme abaI could provide an effective strategy for attenuating virulence. On the contrary, interdicting the autoinducer synthase–receptor abaR elicits unpredictable consequences, which may lead to enhanced bacterial virulence.

Six independent RNA samples from Y. pestis CO92 R114 AHL deficient cultures were paired with six independent RNA samples from control Y. pestis CO92 R88 cultures for hybridization to six two-color microarrays. For three arrays, the control RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 555 dye and the experimental RNA sample was labeled with Alexa 647 dye; the dyes were reversed for the other three arrays to account for any dye bias.
