Project description:GacS/GacA is a widely distributed two-component system playing an essential role as a key global regulator, although its characterization in phytopathogenic bacteria has been deeply biased, being intensively studied in pathogens of herbaceous plants but barely investigated in pathogens of woody hosts. P. savastanoi pv. savastanoi (Psv) is characterized by inducing tumours in the stem and branches of olive trees. In this work, the model strain Psv NCPPB 3335 and a mutant derivative with a complete deletion of gene gacA were subjected to RNA-Seq analyses in a minimum medium and a medium mimicking in planta conditions, accompanied by RT-qPCR analyses of selected genes and phenotypic assays. These experiments indicated that GacA participates in the regulation of at least 2152 genes in strain NCPPB 3335, representing 37.9 % of the annotated CDSs. GacA also controls the expression of diverse rsm genes, and modulates diverse phenotypes, including motility and resistance to oxidative stresses. As occurs with other P. syringae pathovars of herbaceous plants, GacA regulates the expression of the type III secretion system and cognate effectors. In addition, GacA also regulates the expression of WHOP genes, specifically encoded in P. syringe strains isolated from woody hosts, and genes for the biosynthesis of phytohormones. A gacA mutant of NCPPB 3335 showed increased virulence, producing large immature tumours with high bacterial populations, but showed a significantly reduced competitiveness in planta. Our results further extend the role of the global regulator GacA in the virulence and fitness of a P. syringae pathogen of woody hosts.

Project description:The biocontrol agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23 protects canola (Brassica napus) against infection by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Production of PA23 secondary metabolites is governed by a complex regulatory pathway that includes the GacA/GacS two component system, the PhzI/PhzR quorum-sensing system, and a novel LysR-type transcriptional regulator, called PtrA. Through RNA-sequencing, transcriptomic profiles of PA23-WT, two quorum sensing-deficient strains, PA23-AHL and PA23-phzR, and regulatory mutants PA23-gacA, PA23-gacS and PA23-ptrA were generated allowing elucidation of the PhzRI, Gac and PtrA regulons of P. chlororaphis PA23.

Project description:Pseudomonas species are ubiquitous in plant-associated environments and produce an array of volatiles, enzymes and antimicrobials. The biosynthesis of many metabolites is regulated by the GacS/GacA two-component regulatory system. Transcriptome analysis of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 revealed that 702 genes were differentially regulated (fold change>4, P<0.0001) in a gacS::Tn5 mutant, with 300 and 402 genes up- and down-regulated, respectively. Genes that were significantly down-regulated are involved in viscosin biosynthesis (viscABC), protease production (aprA), motility, biofilm formation, and secretory systems. Genes that were significantly up-regulated are involved in siderophore biosynthesis and oxidative stress. In contrast to previous studies with gac-mutants of other Pseudomonas species/strains, the gacS mutant of SBW25 inhibited growth of oomycete, fungal and bacterial pathogens significantly more than parental strain SBW25. A potential candidate for this enhanced antimicrobial activity was a large nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster predicted to encode for an 8-amino-acid ornicorrugatin-like peptide. Site-directed mutagenesis of an NRPS gene in this cluster, however, did not lead to a reduction in the antimicrobial activity of the gacS mutant. Collectively these results indicate that a mutation in the GacS/GacA regulatory system causes major transcriptional changes in P. fluorescens SBW25 and significantly enhances its antimicrobial activities by yet unknown mechanisms.

This expression study used total RNA recovered from four separate wild-type cultures of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 and four separate cultures of the gacS mutant. Expression design was based on the updated genome sequence of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, NC_012660.1 and associated plasmid pQBR0476 with nineteen 60-mer probe per gene. Each probe is replicated 3 times. The design includes random GC and other control probes.

Project description:The GacS/GacA two component regulatory system globally activates the production of secondary metabolites including phenazines in Pseudomonas chlororaphis 30-84. To better understand the regulatory role of the Gac system, we conducted RNA-seq analyses to determine the regulon of the response regulator GacA. Transcriptome analyses identified over 700 genes differentially regulated by GacA. Consistent with our previous findings, phenazine biosynthetic genes were significantly down-regulated in a gacA mutant. The expression levels of phenazine regulatory genes such as phzI, phzR, iopA, iopB, rpoS and pip were also decreased. Moreover, the expression of three none-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) including rsmX, rsmY and rsmZ was significantly decreased by gacA mutation consistent with the presence of GacA binding sites in their promoters. Our results also demonstrated that over-expression of rsmZ from a non-gac regulated promoter resulted in the restoration of AHL and phenazine production as well as the expression of other secondary metabolites in gac mutants. The role of RsmA and RsmE in phenazine production was also investigated. Over-expression of rsmE, but not rsmA, resulted in decreased AHL production and phenazine gene expression in P. chlororaphis. Consistently, a mutation in rsmE bypassed the requirement of GacA in phenazine gene expression. On the contrary, constitutive expression of the phzI/phzR quorum sensing system was not able to rescue phenazine production in the gacA mutant indicating the direct impact of Gac system on the transcript stability of phenazine biosynthetic genes. Together, these results indicate that the Gac system regulates phenazine production at multiple levels and exerts its positive effect on AHL and phenazine biosynthesis via RsmZ and RsmE. A model is proposed to illustrate the GacA regulon in P. chlororaphis 30-84. A total of 6 samples were analyzed in AB medium + 2% casamino acids, Pseudomonas chlororaphis wild type strain (3 replicates); Pseudomonas chlororaphis gacA mutant (3 replicates).

Project description:The GacS/GacA signal transduction system is a central regulator in Pseudomonas spp., including the biological control strain P. fluorescens Pf-5, in which GacS/GacA controls the production of secondary metabolites and exoenzymes that suppress plant pathogens. A whole genome oligonucleotide microarray was developed for Pf-5 and used to assess the global transcriptomic consequences of a gacA mutation in P. fluorescens Pf-5. In cultures at the transition from exponential to stationary growth phase, GacA significantly influenced transcript levels of 632 genes, representing more than 10% of the 6147 annotated genes in the Pf-5 genome. Transcripts of genes involved in the production of hydrogen cyanide, the antibiotic pyoluteorin, and the extracellular protease AprA were at a low level in the gacA mutant, whereas those functioning in siderophore production and other aspects of iron homeostasis were significantly higher in the gacA mutant than in wild-type Pf-5. Notable effects of gacA inactivation were also observed in the transcription of genes encoding components of a type VI secretion system and cytochrome C oxidase subunits. Two novel gene clusters expressed under the control of gacA were identified from transcriptome analysis, and we propose global-regulator-based genome mining as an approach to decipher the secondary metabolome of Pseudomonas spp.

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola is the causal agent of halo blight disease of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), which is characterized by water-soaked lesions surrounded by a chlorotic halo resulting from the action of a non-host-specific toxin known as phaseolotoxin, that inhibits the enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase involved in the arginine biosynthesis pathway. It was previously reported that genes within the Pht cluster were involved in the regulation and synthesis of phaseolotoxin. The GacS/GacA two component signal transduction system controls important pathogenicity and virulence mechanisms in several Gram-negative bacteria. In the present study we hybridized a genomic microarray of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 to compare transcriptional profiles from wild type strain and a gacA- null mutant with a Tox- 11 phenotype. Results show that GacA controls expression of genes within the Pht cluster as well as another group of clustered genes located in a 13 different region in the bacterial chromosome that contains at least one gene unambiguously shown to be directly involved in phaseolotoxin biosynthesis. Results suggest that this cluster is a new pathogenicity island containing genes whose regulation is also under GacA regulatory cascade and it will require further investigation to determine gene functions and their relationship to virulence mechanisms

A gacA mutant of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 was harvested at early (OD 0.5) and late (OD 2.4) time points and compared to wild-type Pf-5 harvested in parallel. For each slide, an experimental RNA sample from a gacA mutant was labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 and was hybridized with a reference RNA sample from wild-type Pf-5 labeled with the other Cy dye. There are six slides per condition. Each condition is represented by three biological replicates. There are two flip-dye replicates for each biological replicate. Each slide contains three replicate spots per gene.
