Project description:Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of plague, is able to sense cell density by quorum sensing. The function of quorum sensing in Y. pestis is not clear. Here, the process of quorum sensing was investigated by comparing transcript profiles when three quorum-sensing synthase genes are knocked out. Two strains, ∆pgm (pigmentation-negative) mutant R88 as treatment and quorum sensing null strain R115 with mutations (∆pgm, ∆ypeIR, ∆yspIR, and ∆luxS) as control, are used in this analysis.

Project description:Paenibacillus polymyxa is an agriculturally important plant growth promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR). Many Paenibacillus species are known to be engaged in complex bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host interactions, which in other bacteria were shown to necessitate quorum sensing communication, but to date no quorum sensing systems have been described in Paenibacillus. Here we show that the type strain P. polymyxa ATCC 842 encodes at least 16 peptide-based communication systems. Each of these systems comprises a pro-peptide that is secreted to the growth medium and further processed to generate a mature short peptide. Each peptide has a cognate intracellular receptor of the RRNPP family, and we show that external addition of P. polymyxa communication peptides to the medium leads to reprogramming of the transcriptional response. We found that these quorum sensing systems are conserved across hundreds of species belonging to the Paenibacillaceae family, with some species encoding more than 25 different peptide-receptor pairs, representing a record number of quorum sensing systems encoded in a single genome.

Project description:Bacteria coordinate cellular behaviors using a cell-cell communication system termed quorum sensing. In Vibrio harveyi, the master quorum sensing transcriptional factor LuxR directly regulates >100 genes in response to changes in population density. Here, we show that LuxR derepresses quorum sensing loci by competing with H-NS, a global transcriptional repressor that oligomerizes on DNA to form filaments and bridges. We first identified H-NS as a repressor of bioluminescence gene expression, for which LuxR is a required activator. In an hns deletion strain, LuxR is no longer necessary for transcription activation of the bioluminescence genes, suggesting that the primary role of LuxR is to displace H-NS to derepress gene expression. Using RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, we determined that H-NS and LuxR co-regulate and co-occupy 28 promoters driving expression of 63 genes across the genome. ChIP-PCR assays show that as autoinducer concentration increases, LuxR protein accumulates at co-occupied promoters while H-NS protein disperses. LuxR is sufficient to evict H-NS from promoter DNA in vitro, which is dependent on LuxR DNA binding activity. From these findings, we propose a model in which LuxR serves as a counter-silencer at H-NS-repressed quorum sensing loci by disrupting H-NS nucleoprotein complexes that block transcription.

Project description:Quorum sensing is a term used to describe cell-to-cell communication that allows cell density-dependent gene expression. Many Gram-negative bacteria use acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) synthases to generate fatty acyl-HSL quorum sensing signals, which function with signal receptors to control expression of specific genes. The fatty acyl group is derived from fatty acid biosynthesis and provides signal specificity, but the variety of signals is limited. We have discovered that the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris uses an acyl-HSL synthase to produce p-coumaroyl-HSL by using environmental p-coumaric acid rather than fatty acids from cellular pools. The bacterium has a signal receptor with homology to fatty acyl-HSL receptors that responds to p-coumaroyl-HSL to regulate global gene expression. We also found that p-coumaroyl-HSL is made by other bacteria including Bradyrhizobium BTAi1 and Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-3. This discovery extends the range of possibilities for acyl-HSL quorum sensing and raises fundamental questions about quorum sensing within the context of environmental signaling.

Project description:The quorum regulatory cascade is poorly characterized in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, in part because swarming and pathogenicity - the hallmark traits of the organism - are repressed by this scheme of gene control. As a consequence, many isolates appear silenced for quorum sensing via phase variation. In these studies, we examine a swarm proficient, virulent strain and find an altered function allele of the central quorum regulator luxO. We use this allele, which produces a constitutively active LuxO, to probe the upstream elements of the pathway and demonstrate their functionality for the first time. We find that the state of luxO affects expression of three small regulatory RNAS (Qrrs) and the activity of a translational fusion in opaR, the central output regulator. We use microarray profiling to determine the OpaR regulon, which was found to encompass ~5.2% of the genome. The quorum sensing proficient strain seems adapted for a sessile, community lifestyle; it is competent to uptake DNA, produces much capsular polysaccharide, has a high level of c-di-GMP, and strongly expresses one type six secretion system. Expressing the entire surface sensing regulon and numerous methyl accepting chemotaxis proteins, the quorum-disrupted cell type seems prepared for a mobile lifestyle. It is also cytotoxic to host cells in co-culture and expresses distinct type six as well as type three secretion systems. Thus, the scope and nature of the genes in the OpaR regulon provide many clues to the distinguishing traits of this Vibrio species as well as to the quite divergent survival strategies of the quorum ON/OFF phase variants
