Acetylation in Borrelia burgdorferi

ABSTRACT: Borelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of the Lyme disease, cycles between a vector (tick) and the mammalian host. Our principal goal is to study how B. burgdorferi adapts its metabolism to colonize and survive in the tick. We established the first growth-phase related acetylome and demonstrated the role of acetylation on central metabolism regulation. We also demonstrated that acetyl phosphate is the primary acetyl donor in B. burgdorferi.

The post-translational modification of proteins has been shown to be extremely important in prokaryotes. Using a highly sensitive mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach, we have characterized the acetylome of B. burgdorferi. As previously reported for other bacteria, a relatively low number (5%) of the potential genome-encoded proteins of B. burgdorferi were acetylated. Of these, the vast majority were involved in central metabolism and cellular information processing (transcr ...[more]

Identification of genes regulated by gadE in E. coli O157:H7

Project description:Integrating laterally acquired virulence genes into the backbone regulatory network is important for the pathogenesis of Escherichia coli O157:H7, which has captured many virulence genes through horizontal transfer during evolution. GadE is an essential transcriptional activator of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system, the most efficient acid resistance mechanism in E. coli. The full contribution of GadE to the acid resistance and virulence of pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 remains largely unknown. We inactivated gadE in E. coli O157:H7 Sakai and compared global transcription profiles with that of wild type in exponential and stationary phases of growth using microarrays containing 6088 ORFs from three E. coli genomes. gadE inactivation significantly altered the expression of 60 genes independent of growth phase and 122 genes in a growth phase-dependent manner. Inactivation of gadE markedly down-regulated the expression of gadA, gadB, gadC and many acid fitness island genes in a growth phase-dependent manner. Nineteen genes encoded on the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE), including ler, showed a significant increase in expression upon gadE inactivation. Altogether, our data indicate that GadE is critical for acid resistance of E. coli O157:H7 and plays an important role in virulence by down-regulating expression of LEE. The results are based on O157:H7 Sakai wild type and gadE mutant exponential and stationary phase cultures grown in MOPS minimal medium. Differences in transcript levels were determined using a mixed model ANOVA in R/MAANOVA which tested for significant differences due to growth phase (exponential or stationary), strain (wild type or mutant) and the interaction of these two factors using the following linear model: array+dye+sample (biological replicate)+ phase+strain+phase*strain. We incorporated the dye-swaps among the biological replicates.

Stage-Specific Alterations in the Transcriptome of Lyme Disease Spirochetes During Tick Feeding and Following Mammalian Host-Adaptation

Project description:To compare the transcriptional profiles of Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) during acquisition (fed larvae), transmission (fed nymphs) and in a mammalian host-like environment (dialysis membrane chambers [DMC]).RNA was isolated from an infected tick (Ixodus scapularis) samples, DMC and in vitro cultures. Array hybridization was performed with 7 RNA samples (from 5 biological replicates) obtained from fed nymphs and 10 RNA samples (from 6 biological replicates) obtained from fed larvae. Mammalian host-adapted spirochetes were generated by growth in DMCs. 4 arrays (2 biological replicates) were performed with DMC samples and in vitro-cultivated (temperature-shifted) samples.RNA was labeled with Cy3and as an internal standard for array hybridization, B. burgdorferi genomic DNA was labeled with Cy5 hybridized to Bb 70-mer slide arrays.Signal was acquired on a GenePix scanner. Background subtracted intensities obtained for each gene were normalized to one reference array using Microsoft Excel. Normalized data sets were further refined using GeneSpring software. A gene was scored as expressed if pixel intensity was >75 and was detected in a majority of arrays for given condition. Differentially expressed genes were identified as those with a fold change >2 at P<0.02 through gene-by-gene comparison of normalized expression data sets using an unpaired t-test within GeneSpring GX12.5.

Characterization of the RelBbu regulon in Borrelia burgdorferi reveals modulation of glycerol metabolism by (p)ppGpp

Project description:The bacterial stringent response is triggered by deficiencies of available nutrients andother environmental stresses. It is mediated by 5'-triphosphate-guanosine-3'- diphosphate and 5'-diphosphate-guanosine-3'-diphosphate (collectively (p)ppGpp) and generates global changes in gene expression and metabolism that enable bacteria to adapt to and survive these challenges. Borrelia burgdorferi encounters multiple stressors in its cycling between ticks and mammals that could trigger the stringent response. We have previously shown that the B. burgdorferi stringent response is mediated by a single enzyme, RelBbu, with both (p)ppGpp synthase and hydrolase activities, and that a B. burgdorferi 297 relBbu null deletion mutant was defective in adapting to stationary phase, incapable of down-regulating synthesis of rRNA and could not infect mice. We have now used this deletion mutant and microarray analysis to identify genes comprising the rel regulon in B. burgdorferi cultured at 34°C, and found that transcription of genes involved in glycerol metabolism is induced by relBbu. Culture of the wild-type parental strain, the relBbu deletion mutant and its complemented derivative at 34°C and 25°C in media containing glucose or glycerol as principal carbon sources revealed a growth defect in the mutant, most evident at the lower temperature. Transcriptional analysis of the glp operon for glycerol uptake and metabolism in these three strains confirmed that relBbu was necessary and sufficient to increase transcription of this operon in the presence of glycerol at both temperatures, and particularly at 25°C. These results confirm and extend previous findings regarding the stringent response in B. burgdorferi. They also demonstrate that the stringent response regulates glycerol metabolism in this organism and is likely crucial for its optimal growth in ticks.

Borrelia burgdorferi gene expression in culture before and after antibody enrichment

Project description:Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, is transmitted to vertebrate hosts by Ixodes ticks. As it moves from tick to host, B. burgdorferi must adapt to survive in a vastly different environment. During the tick bloodmeal, which lasts several days, B. burgdorferi is primed for mammalian infection, growing increasingly virulent as it senses cues from its surroundings in the tick. This conditioning is dependent on key transcriptional regulators; however, the downstream transcriptional changes occurring inside of the tick that promote B. burgdorferi transmission and infection are poorly understood due to technical difficulties in sequencing the B. burgdorferi transcriptome from inside of ticks. We developed a protocol to enrich and sequence B. burgdorferi from inside the tick, and we measured global transcriptional changes occurring in feeding ticks. We identified 192 genes that change expression twofold over the course of the tick bloodmeal, which were predominantly located on the plasmids of the genome. The majority of the upregulated genes encode proteins found at the cell envelope or proteins of unknown function, including 45 upregulated genes encoding outer surface lipoproteins. These genes that increase during feeding are candidates for future functional studies, which can help identify new targets for methods that aim to control the spread of Lyme disease.

Tick Adiponectin Receptor-Mediated Phospholipid Metabolism Contributes to Borrelia burgdorferi Colonization

Project description:Adiponectin-mediated pathways contribute to mammalian homeostasis; however, little is known about adiponectin and adiponectin receptor signaling in arthropods. In this study, we demonstrate that Ixodes scapularis ticks have an adiponectin receptor-like protein (ISARL) but lack adiponectin, suggesting activation by alternative pathways. ISARL expression is significantly upregulated in the tick gut after Borrelia burgdorferi infection, suggesting that ISARL signaling may be co-opted by the Lyme disease agent. Consistent with this, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of ISARL significantly reduced the B. burgdorferi burden in the tick. RNA-seq-based transcriptomics and RNAi assays demonstrate that ISARL-mediated phospholipid metabolism by phosphatidylserine synthase I is associated with B. burgdorferi survival. Furthermore, the tick complement C1q-like protein 3 interacts with ISARL, and B. burgdorferi facilitates this process. This study identifies a new tick metabolic pathway that is connected to the life cycle of the Lyme disease spirochete.

Proteomic analysis of three Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species and disseminating clones: relevance for Lyme vaccine design.

Project description:Lyme borreliosis is first characterized by a cutaneous inflammation, the erythema migrans, and if dissemination occurs after an infected tick bite cutaneous, nervous and articular manifestations appear. Although antibiotic treatments are efficient in the early stage of the infection, a significant number of patients develop disseminated manifestations due to unnoticed or absence of erythema migrans, or to inappropriate treatment. Vaccine could be an efficient approach to decrease Lyme disease incidence. We have developed a proteomic approach based on a Ge-LC-MS/MS strategy to identify new vaccine candidates. We analyzed a disseminating clone and the associated wild type strain for each major pathogenic Borrelia species: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii and B. afzelii. We managed to identify proteins specific and common to the disseminating clones of the 3 main species. In parallel, we used a spectral counting strategy in order to identify up-regulated proteins common to the clones. Thus, we identified 40 proteins that are potentially involved in bacterial virulence and could be of interest in the development of a new vaccine.

Protein Microarray Analysis of Antibody Responses of Experimentally Infected Dogs to Borrelia burgdorferi Antigens OspC

Project description:Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Dogs are at high risk of exposure to ticks and tick-borne pathogens, including B. burgdorferi. Immunodiagnostic assays are usually based on whole-cell preparations of B. burgdorferi as substrate and, consequently, interpretation of results is confounded by antibody cross-reactivity between borrelial antigens and other bacterial species, as well as the anti-LB vaccination status of the dog. For this study, we examined sera from 33 dogs that were experimentally infected with B. burgdorferi through tick bite. These sera were compared with sera from uninfected dogs in their reactivities to 72 different recombinant B. burgdorferi antigens and 24 OspC protein types on a protein microarray. Amongst antigens frequently recognized by infected dogs were several known to be immunogens for humans, such as Decorin-binding protein A (BBA25), BBA64, fibronectin-binding protein (BBK32), VlsE, Erp and Bdr, CRASP proteins, OspC proteins and some flagellar antigens. Of special interest were the novel antigens BBB14 and BB0844, both hypothetical lipoproteins about which very little is currently known, and that were frequently and strongly recognized by infected dog sera. The antibody response of B. burgdorferi-infected dogs presents both similarities and differences from human counterparts, and both can be important for improvement of canine LB diagnosis and vaccine development. Antibody profiling was performed on sera from dogs experimentally-infected with B. burgdorferi and unexposed controls against antigens of B. burgdorferi. Thirty-three serum samples from experimental infections, and 5 unexposed controls were probed on a protein microarray displaying 24 OspC proteins of B. burgdorferi .
