Project description:Cervimycins A-D are bis-glycosylated polyketide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces tendae HKI 0179 with bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, cervimycin C (CmC) treatment caused a spaghetti-like phenotype in Bacillus subtilis 168, with elongated curved cells, which stayed joined after cell division, and exhibited a chromosome segregation defect, resulting in ghost cells without DNA. Electron microscopy of cervimycin treated S. aureus (3 x MIC) revealed swollen cells, misshapen septa, cell wall thickening, and a rough cell wall surface. Incorporation tests in B. subtilis indicated an effect on DNA biosynthesis at high cervimycin concentrations. Indeed, artificial down-regulation of the DNA gyrase subunit B gene (gyrB) increased the activity of cervimycin in agar diffusion tests, and, in high concentrations (starting at 62.5 x MIC), the antibiotic inhibited S. aureus DNA gyrase supercoiling activity in vitro. To obtain a more global view on the mode of action of CmC, transcriptomics and proteomics of cervimycin treated versus untreated S. aureus cells were performed. Interestingly, 3 x MIC of cervimycin did not induce the SOS response, which would indicate disturbance of the DNA gyrase activity in vivo. Instead, cervimycin induced the expression of the CtsR/HrcA heat shock operon and the expression of autolysins, exhibiting similarity to the ribosome-targeting gentamicin. In summary, we identified the DNA gyrase as a target, but at low concentrations electron microscopy and omics data revealed a more complex mode of action of cervimycin, that comprised induction of the heat shock response, indicating protein stress in the cell. A synergistic effect was seen when sodium chloride (NaCl) was added during cervimycin MIC testing of S. aureus SG511. Thus, transcriptomics of S. aureus cells under osmotic stress (1 M NaCl) were performed. The stress response was compared to the cervimycin stress response to identify factors which might contribute to the synergistic antibacterial effect of the two molecules.

Project description:The resistance to antibiotics is an emerging problem, and necessitates novel antibacterial therapies. Cervimycins A–D are bi-glycosylated polyketides produced by Streptomyces tendae HKI 0179 with promising activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Microscopically, cervimycin C (CmC) treatment caused a spaghetti-like phenotype in Bacillus subtilis 168, with elongated curved cells, which stayed joined after cell division, and exhibited a chromosome segregation defect. Electron microscopy of cervimycin treated S. aureus revealed swelling of some cells, misshaped septa, and cell wall thickening and a rough cell wall surface. Incorporation tests in B. subtilis indicated an effect on DNA metabolism at high cervimycin-concentrations. Indeed, the down-regulation of the DNA gyrase subunit B (gyrB) acted synergistically with cervimycin, and the antibiotic inhibited the in vitro DNA gyrase supercoiling activity. To get a more global view on the mode of action of CmC, transcriptomics and proteomics of cervimycin treated versus untreated S. aureus cells were performed. Interestingly, and in contrast to the previous results, cervimycin did not induce the SOS response in S. aureus, which would indicate disturbance of the DNA gyrase. Instead, cervimycin induced the expression of the CtsR/HrcA heat shock operon and the expression of autolysins. Taken together, we identified the DNA gyrase as one target of cervimycin, but omics data revealed massive alterations in cervimycin treated S. aureus, involving cell wall modifying enzymes and protein stress response, indicating a complex mode of action of cervimycin, that is distinct from other antibiotics.

Project description:Persister cells are genetically identical variants in a bacterial population that have phenotypically modified their physiology to survive environmental stress. . To better define general persistence mechanisms that can be targeted to develop anti-persistence therapeutics, we performed transcriptomics analyses of Burkholderia thailandensis enriched for persisters using three methods: flow sorting by low proton motive force, meropenem treatment, and culture aging. Although the three persister populations generally expressed divergent gene expression profiles that underscores the multi-mechanistic nature of persistence, there were several common gene pathways expressed in two or more persister populations, including polyketide and non-ribosomal peptide synthesis, Clp proteases, mobile elements, enzymes involved in the lipid metabolism, and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter systems. In particular, identification of genes that encode for polyketide synthases (PKS) and fatty acid catabolism indicate that generation of secondary metabolites, natural products, and complex lipids are needed for the maintenance of the persistence state. Persisters are markedly reduced in transposon mutants of the PKS gene BTH_I2366. Furthermore, treatment of multiple bacterial pathogens with the fatty acid synthesis inhibitor, CP-640186, potentiated antibiotic efficacy against the persisters. All together, our results suggest that bacterial persisters may exhibit an outward dormant physiology, but maintain active metabolic processes that are required to maintain persistence.

Project description:This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/The drug Praziquantel is the most commonly used drug for parasitic flatworms. It is currently being increasingly used in mass drug administration programmes, raising concerns over whether resistance will develop. Although widely used, its mode of action was until very recently uncertain. This study will investigate the praziquantel mode of action and resistance by sequencing the transcriptomes of Dugesia japonica and different stages and strains of S. mansoni.

Project description:An unusual polyketide with a new carbon skeleton, lindgomycin (1), and the recently described ascosetin (2) were extracted from mycelia and culture broth of different Lindgomycetaceae strains, which were isolated from a sponge of the Kiel Fjord in the Baltic Sea (Germany) and from the Antarctic. Their structures were established by spectroscopic means. In the new polyketide, two distinct domains, a bicyclic hydrocarbon and a tetramic acid, are connected by a bridging carbonyl. The tetramic acid substructure of compound 1 was proved to possess a unique 5-benzylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione unit. The combination of 5-benzylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione of compound 1 in its tetramic acid half and 3-methylbut-3-enoic acid pendant in its decalin half allow the assignment of a new carbon skeleton. The new compound 1 and ascosetin showed antibiotic activities with IC50 value of 5.1 (±0.2) µM and 3.2 (±0.4) μM, respectively, against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
