<h4>Background</h4>The maintenance of internal pH in bacterial cells is challenged by natural stress conditions, during host infection or in biotechnological production processes. Comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic analyses has been conducted in several bacterial model systems, yet questions remain as to the mechanisms of pH homeostasis.<h4>Results</h4>Here we present the comprehensive analysis of pH homeostasis in C. glutamicum, a bacterium of industrial importance. At pH values between ...[more]

Project description:Oxidation of methionine leads to the formation of the S and R diastereomers of methionine sulfoxide (MetO), which can be reversed by the actions of two structurally unrelated classes of methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr), MsrA and MsrB, respectively. Although MsrAs have long been demonstrated in numerous bacteria, their physiological and biochemical functions remain largely unknown in Actinomycetes. Here, we report that a Corynebacterium glutamicum methionine sulfoxide reductase A (CgMsrA) that belongs to the 3-Cys family of MsrAs plays important roles in oxidative stress resistance. Deletion of the msrA gene in C. glutamicum resulted in decrease of cell viability, increase of ROS production, and increase of protein carbonylation levels under various stress conditions. The physiological roles of CgMsrA in resistance to oxidative stresses were corroborated by its induced expression under various stresses, regulated directly by the stress-responsive extracytoplasmic-function (ECF) sigma factor SigH. Activity assays performed with various regeneration pathways showed that CgMsrA can reduce MetO via both the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase (Trx/TrxR) and mycoredoxin 1/mycothione reductase/mycothiol (Mrx1/Mtr/MSH) pathways. Site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that Cys56 is the peroxidatic cysteine that is oxidized to sulfenic acid, while Cys204 and Cys213 are the resolving Cys residues that form an intramolecular disulfide bond. Mrx1 reduces the sulfenic acid intermediate via the formation of an S-mycothiolated MsrA intermediate (MsrA-SSM) which is then recycled by mycoredoxin and the second molecule of mycothiol, similarly to the glutathione/glutaredoxin/glutathione reductase (GSH/Grx/GR) system. However, Trx reduces the Cys204-Cys213 disulfide bond in CgMsrA produced during MetO reduction via the formation of a transient intermolecular disulfide bond between Trx and CgMsrA. While both the Trx/TrxR and Mrx1/Mtr/MSH pathways are operative in reducing CgMsrA under stress conditions in vivo, the Trx/TrxR pathway alone is sufficient to reduce CgMsrA under normal conditions. Based on these results, a catalytic model for the reduction of CgMsrA by Mrx1 and Trx is proposed.

Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum is generally regarded as a moderately salt- and alkali-tolerant industrial organism. However, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying these specific adaptations. Here, we found that the Mrp1 antiporter played crucial roles in conferring both environmental Na+ resistance and alkali tolerance whereas the Mrp2 antiporter was necessary in coping with high-KCl stress at alkaline pH. Furthermore, the ?mrp1 ?mrp2 double mutant showed the most-severe growth retardation and failed to grow under high-salt or alkaline conditions. Consistent with growth properties, the Na+/H+ antiporters of C. glutamicum were differentially expressed in response to specific salt or alkaline stress, and an alkaline stimulus particularly induced transcript levels of the Mrp-type antiporters. When the major Mrp1 antiporter was overwhelmed, C. glutamicum might employ alternative coordinate strategies to regulate antiport activities. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that several conserved residues were required for optimal Na+ resistance, such as Mrp1A K299, Mrp1C I76, Mrp1A H230, and Mrp1D E136 Moreover, the chromosomal replacement of lysine 299 in the Mrp1A subunit resulted in a higher intracellular Na+ level and a more alkaline intracellular pH value, thereby causing a remarkable growth attenuation. Homology modeling of the Mrp1 subcomplex suggested two possible ion translocation pathways, and lysine 299 might exert its effect by affecting the stability and flexibility of the cytoplasm-facing channel in the Mrp1A subunit. Overall, these findings will provide new clues to the understanding of salt-alkali adaptation during C. glutamicum stress acclimatization.IMPORTANCE The capacity to adapt to harsh environments is crucial for bacterial survival and product yields, including industrially useful Corynebacterium glutamicum Although C. glutamicum exhibits a marked resistance to salt-alkaline stress, the possible mechanism for these adaptations is still unclear. Here, we present the physiological functions and expression patterns of C. glutamicum putative Na+/H+ antiporters and conserved residues of Mrp1 subunits, which respond to different salt and alkaline stresses. We found that the Mrp-type antiporters, particularly the Mrp1 antiporter, played a predominant role in maintaining intracellular nontoxic Na+ levels and alkaline pH homeostasis. Loss of the major Mrp1 antiporter had a profound effect on gene expression of other antiporters under salt or alkaline conditions. The lysine 299 residue may play its essential roles in conferring salt and alkaline tolerance by affecting the ion translocation channel of the Mrp1A subunit. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of Na+/H+ antiporters in sodium antiport and pH regulation.
