Lsr2, a novel cyclic di-GMP receptor, regulate the synthesis of keto-mycolic acid and control biofilm formation in mycobacteria

ABSTRACT:

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a well-known second messenger that plays a key role in many physiological processes in bacteria. The synthesis of lipids is essential for bacterial biofilm formation. However, whether c-di-GMP signaling modulates the synthesis of lipid and further regulates biofilm formation in mycobacteria is unclear, and the c-di-GMP receptor involved remains unknown. In this study, we characterized the nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) Lsr2 as a novel c-di-GMP receptor in mycobacteria. c-di-GMP specifically binds to Lsr2 at a ratio of 1:1. We showed that c-di-GMP promotes mycobacterial biofilm formation in a manner dependent on Lsr2. Furthermore, Lsr2 mediates the synthesis of keto-mycolic acid, the lipid component of the mycobacterial cell wall, by positively regulating the expression of HadD, a (3R)-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase, thus, Lsr2 ultimately controls biofilm formation. Finally, c-di-GMP promotes the positive regulation of HadD by Lsr2 and mycobacterial biofilm formation. Thus, we report a novel c-di-GMP receptor that links the second messenger’s function to lipid synthesis and biofilm formation in mycobacteria.

Project description:Pseudomonas fluorescens is implicated in food spoilage especially under cold storage, causing the increase of food waste and the reduction of environmental (and nutritional) sustainability. In food industry, Pseudomonas biofilm on pipe surfaces and facilities creates a persistent source of contamination and increases resistance to common disinfection strategies. Even though gene expression and protein pattern changes under environmental stimuli have been suggested, cellular mechanisms involved in biofilm production are poorly investigated for this species. In the present work, the cheese blue pigmenting P. fluorescens ITEM 17298 produced increased biofilm biomass and motility at 15 °C in comparison to 30 °C. Proteomic analysis revealed major differences of proteins involved in biofilm formation. In particular, at 15 °C we found increased amount of the c-di-GMP regulator PleD involved in motility as well as AlgB and the carbon storage regulator directly involved biofilm formation. Carbon metabolism, protein and fatty acid synthesis were also stimulated under cold incubation. Moreover, for the first time, enzymes correlated to indigoidine synthesis (blue pigment) were identified in the same condition. The differences in expression of regulatory proteins could therefore be the major determinant of the biofilm formation ability of P. fluorescens under refrigerated condition. Genomic and proteomic results also revealed virulence factors mostly detected at 30 °C. In order to counteract P. fluorescens persistence, this study also proposed a control strategy for biofilm development. Thus, a sub-lethal concentration of bovine lactoferrin hydrolysate (HLF) was assayed at both temperatures. Treatment caused a significant reduction in biofilm biomass, also confirmed by changes in proteome pattern. At each condition proteins involved regulatory functions and transcription factors were downregulated after HLF-treatment. Among these, at 15 °C we found that PleD was absent in treated samples, whilst negative regulators of alginate biosynthesis were detected; likewise, indigoidine related proteins were repressed. The cyclic-di-GMP-binding biofilm dispersal mediator was instead detected in all treated samples.

Project description:Beneficial microbial symbionts are often horizontally acquired by their animal hosts from environmental sources, requiring the symbionts to complete a lifestyle transition from free-living in the environment to association with host tissues. In the model symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and its microbial symbiont Vibrio fischeri, one mechanism used to make this transition during host colonization is the formation of biofilm-like aggregates on host mucosa. Extensive work has previously been conducted to isolate the critical factors controlling V. fischeri biofilm formation, yet much remains unknown regarding the full breadth of the biofilm-associated regulon. Here, we probed in vitro models of biofilm formation using transcriptomics, to identify novel regulatory pathways active within biofilms of the V. fischeri type strain ES114. Through comparing the gene-sets which became differentially regulated in multiple biofilm models, we discovered a shared set of 232 genes which demonstrated similar patterns in expression relative to uninduced controls. These genes contained representatives of multiple exopolysaccharide loci, genes involved in flagellar motility, and a diverse collection of other genes. Follow-up analysis suggested that these transcriptomic changes reflected true phenotypic effects, including changes in motility and cyclic-di-GMP production in biofilm-induced backgrounds. Beyond characterizing the shared biofilm response, we additionally profiled the regulatory activity of the sensor kinase RscS. This sensor kinase has previously been characterized to function as a phospho-donor within an established biofilm-inducing phospho-relay, yet our data suggests that RscS moonlights in at least one other phospho-relay that integrates downstream signaling from a homolog of the Vibrio cholerae response regulator VpsR, without a need for its established signaling partners. Overall, this study adds to our understanding of the genes involved in V. fischeri biofilm regulation, while revealing new regulatory pathways branching from previously characterized signaling networks.
