Analysis of bacterial Type VI Secretion Systems Stoichiometry by Targeted Proteomics

ABSTRACT: The bacterial Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is important for bacterial competition as well as virulence in many Gram-negative bacteria, including human pathogens. T6SS is evolutionarily related to the contractile phage tails and assembles as a cell envelope attached organelle. The assembly progresses from formation of a membrane complex to assembly of a baseplate followed by copolymerization of a sheath-tube. Rapid sheath contraction propels the rigid inner tube with associated effectors into target cells. To understand the assembly and stoichiometry of this nanomachine, we applied targeted proteomics to determine the protein abundances of the key T6SS components in three model bacteria. The overall stoichiometry of the components is conserved across species and it agrees with the expected composition of the nanomachine. However, there are also species-specific variations of certain components, which may explain the observed differences in the respective dynamics of T6SS. Furthermore, changes in the protein abundance during different growth conditions point to possible mechanisms of regulation of T6SS dynamics. The combination of live-cell imaging and mass-spectrometry analysis suggests that a baseplate component TssE of V. cholerae might undergo an active proteolysis, which together with an effector protein VasX could be involved in regulation of baseplate dynamics and thus T6SS activity.

Phosphoproteomic analysis of Francisella

Project description:Francisella possesses a non-canonical T6SS that is essential for efficient phagosomal escape and access to the cytosol of infected macrophages. Using a global and site-specific phosphoproteomic analysis of Francisella we identified here a unique phosphorylation site on IglB, the TssC homologue and a key component of the T6SS contractile sheath. Phosphorylation of the sheath may constitute a previously unrecognized mechanism contributing to the dynamics of assembly-disassembly of the T6SS.

Phosphoproteome of Francicella Tularensis

Project description:The pathogenic bacterium Francisella tularensis possesses a non-canonical T6SS encoded on the Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI) that is essential for efficient phagosomal escape and access to the cytosolic compartment of infected host cells. Using a global and site-specific phosphoproteomic analysis of F. novicida, we identified a phosphorylated form of IglB, which constitutes with iglA the outer sheath of the T6SS. We show here that substitution of the unique phosphorylated tyrosine (Y139) of IglB to alanine or to the non-phosphorylatable analogue phenylalanine prevents the formation of the sheath-like structures and impairs normal bacterial phagosomal escape. We propose that IglB phosphorylation is involved in the dynamics of assembly-disassembly of the sheath.

The T6SSs of the entomopathogenic Photorhabdus laumondii revealed interbacterial competition and cross-link with diverse Photorhabdus-virulence mechanisms

Project description:Secretion systems are used as weapons by a variety of Gram-negative bacteria. Among them the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) gained more interest throughout the last years. The system functions as a molecular nano-weapon: it is used in inter-kingdom competition by various bacteria to deliver toxic effectors in target cells. Here we describe the role of the T6SS in Photorhabdus laumondii subsp. laumondii strain DJC, an entomopathogenic biocontrol agent able to live in different environmental niches, such as in symbiosis with nematodes and in the rhizosphere on plant roots. Using bioinformatic and protein motif analyses we identified four T6SS gene clusters (T6SS-1, T6SS-2, T6SS-3 and T6SS-4) and multiple orphan T6SS related genes in the genome of P. laumondii. Furthermore, we highlighted 11 T6SS effector-immunity pairs, including three undescribed membrane disrupting effectors, each with putatively different antibacterial activities. By label-free mass spectrometry of P. laumondii wild type cells and respective T6SS-deficient strains, we could point out a cross-link between T6SS and other Photorhabdus’ virulence related mechanisms such as PVCs, T3SS and pyocins. Furthermore, a change in motility as well as in the secondary metabolism was observed upon T6SS-deficiency. Here, we shed light on the T6SS in P. laumondii DJC and suggesting a cross-link of various virulence mechanisms, which could help to gain knowledge on T6SS and better figure out the Photorhabdus ability to live in polymicrobial environments.

The Achromobacter xylosoxidans type VI secretion system 2 (T6SS): from clinical to molecular evidences of its 3 implication in cystic fibrosis

Project description:Bacteria of the genus Achromobacter are environmental germs, with an unknown reservoir, which can become opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients, and be responsible for bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia and peritonitis. Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an emerging pathogenic bacterium frequently isolated in the context of cystic fibrosis (CF). Recent studies show that A. xylosoxidans is involved in the degradation of the respiratory function of CF patients. The respiratory ecosystem of CF patients is colonized by bacterial species that constantly fight for space and access to nutrients. In particular, these bacteria use an antagonism system, a type VI secretion nanomachine (T6SS), which represents a virulence factor in many pathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the T6SS genes in Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolated in cystic fibrosis patient. We also evaluated clinical and molecular characteristics of T6SS-positive A. xylosoxidans strains. We have shown that A. xylosoxidans possesses a T6SS-encoded gene cluster and that some environmental and clinical isolates assemble a functional T6SS nanomachine. The A. xylosoxidans T6SS is used to target competitor bacteria, including other CF-specific pathogens. We gathered some evidences pointing toward a role of T6SS in CF-lung colonization: i, CF mimicking conditions trigger the activation of A. xylosoxidans T6SS; ii, we detected Hcp in the sputum of CF patient and iii, the T6SS helps internalization of A. xylosoxidans in lung epithelial cells. Our study highlights a new clinical determinant of the virulence of A. xylosoxidans as well as new diagnostic and therapeutic options in cystic fibrosis.

Differential scaling between G1 protein production and cell size dynamics promotes commitment to the cell division cycle in budding yeast

Project description:In the unicellular eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cln3–cyclin-dependent kinase activity enables Start, the irreversible commitment to the cell division cycle. However, the concentration of Cln3 has been paradoxically considered to remain constant during G1, due to the presumed scaling of its production rate with cell size dynamics. Measuring metabolic and biosynthetic activity during cell cycle progression in single cells, we found that cells exhibit pulses in their protein production rate. Rather than scaling with cell size dynamics, these pulses follow the intrinsic metabolic dynamics, peaking around Start. Using a viral- based bicistronic construct and targeted proteomics to measure Cln3 at the single-cell and population levels, we show that the differential scaling between protein production and cell size leads to a temporal increase in Cln3 concentration, and passage through Start. This differential scaling causes Start in both daughter and mother cells across growth conditions. Thus, uncou- pling between two fundamental physiological parameters drives cell cycle commitment.

Comparative genomics and interactomics of polyadenylation factors for the prediction of new parasite targets: Entamoeba histolytica as a working model

Project description:E. histolytica trophozoites (3x105) harvested in exponential growth phase were transferred to 25 cm² cell culture flasks and grown at 37°C for 24 h. Then, parasites were exposed to irradiation in a 254 nm UV-transilluminator (BioDoc-It Imaging System (UVP)) for 30 min at 4°C (Valdés et al., 2014) and cytoplasmic (CE) and nuclear (NE) extracts were obtained using the NE-PER Kit (Thermo Scientific™) according to manufacturer instructions. Immunoprecipitation (IP) assays were performed using Dynabeads protein A/G (Invitrogen) following manufacturer recommendations. Briefly, Dynabead magnetic beads (25 µl) were coupled with 10 µg of anti-HsCFIm25 polyclonal antibody (GeneTex, GTX115535) and anti-EhCFIm25 polyclonal antibody, previously produced and validated by our group (Pezet-Valdez et al., 2013) for 30 min at room temperature. Then, beads-antibody complex was incubated with NE (100 µg) for 2 h at 37°C followed by three washes with wash buffer (20 mM Tris, pH 7.5; 0.5M NaCl and 0.05% Tween 20). Finally, magnetic bead- antibodies-proteins complex was resuspended in elution buffer (0.1 M glycine, pH 2.0) for 2 minutes at room temperature to dissociate the complex; the tube was placed on the magnet and the supernatant containing eluted antibody and bound proteins was collected.

Expression data from batch cultivations of Aspergillus niger wild type and adrA, facB and creA deletion mutants

Project description:Expression data from batch cultivations of Aspergillus niger wild type strain ATCC 1015 and adrA, facB and creA deletion mutants constructed on ATCC 1015 background strain with glucose or glycerol as carbon sources. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis was used to identify genes either affected directly or indirectly by each transcription factor investigated during growth on a repressing or a derepressing carbon source. For this purpose, batch cultivations under well-controlled conditions were performed with Aspergillus niger wild type strain ATCC 1015 and the three deletion mutants of the corresponding transcription factors AdrA, FacB and CreA. Samples for RNA extraction were collected and further processed for hybridization in custom-designed Affymetrix microarrays containing probes for three Aspergillus species, including A. niger. Triplicate batch fermentations of each of the four Aspergillus niger strains used, the wild type A. niger strain ATCC 1015 and three gene deletion mutants, were carried out using glucose or glycerol as carbon source, and transcriptome analysis was performed. Biomass from each batch cultivation was harvested in the exponential phase of growth and further processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
