Project description:Surface appendages such as flagella and type IV pili mediate a broad range of bacterial behaviors including motility, attachment, and surface sensing. While many species harbor both flagella and type IV pili, little is known about how or if their synthesis is coupled. Here, we show that deletions of genes encoding different flagellum machinery components result in a reduction of pilus synthesis in Caulobacter crescentus. First, we show that different flagellar mutants exhibit different levels of sensitivity to a pilus-dependent phage and that less cells within populations of flagellar mutants make pili. Furthermore, we find that single cells within flagellar mutant populations produce less pili per cell. We demonstrate that these gene deletions result in reduced transcription of pilus-associated genes and have a broad effect on global transcription profiles. Finally, we show that the decrease in pilus production is due to a reduction in the pool of pilin subunits that are polymerized into pilus fibers. These data demonstrate that mutations in flagella gene components affect not only motility but can also have considerable and unexpected consequences on other aspects of cell biology.

Project description:Caulobacter crescentus is an alphaproteobacterium that divides assymetrically. Each cell cycle results in the production of a motile flagellated cell and a sessile cell called the swamer cell and the stalked cell, respectively. The flagellar filament is composed of thousands polymerized flagellins. We showed that glycosylation of flagellins is required for the assembly of the flagellum. This glycosylation is performed by soluble FlmG glycosyltransferases that transfer nonulosonic acids (pseudaminic acid or legionaminic acid) directly to the flagellins. Such glycosylation system is also present in a close relative of Caulobacter crescentus, Brevundimonas subvibrioides. The project is to identify the site of glycosylation and the potential sugar added on this site.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Caulobacter crescentus NA1000 dcdnL mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. In bacteria, transcription of housekeeping genes required for metabolic homeostasis and cell proliferation is guided by the sigma factor σ70. The conserved CarD-like transcriptional regulator, CdnL, associates with promoter regions where σ70 localizes and stabilizes the open promoter complex. Caulobacter crescentus cells lacking CdnL have severe morphological and growth defects. Our microarray experiment demonstrates how cdnL deletion affects the transcriptome of Caulobacter crescentus.

Furthermore, we find that single cells within flagellar mutant populations produce fewer pili per cell.

These data demonstrate that mutations in flagellar gene components not only affect motility but also can have considerable and unexpected consequences for other aspects of cell biology.IMPORTANCE Most bacterial species synthesize surface-exposed appendages that are important for environmental interactions and survival under diverse conditions. It is often assumed that these appendages act independently of each other and that mutations in either system can be used to assess functionality in specific processes. However, we show that mutations in flagellar genes can impact the production of type IV pili, as well as alter general RNA transcriptional profiles compared to a wild-type strain. These data demonstrate that seemingly simple mutations can broadly affect cell-regulatory networks.
