Project description:Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 spxB- mutant vs D39. For DNA microarray analysis, D39 wild-type and two independently obtained D39spxB- mutants were grown as four, two and two biological replicates, respectively, in Glc-M17 under semi-aerobic conditions and harvested at an OD595 of approximately 0.25 (mid-exponential). The RNA of both D39spxB- strains was compared to D39 and the combined data was analyzed. All other procedures regarding microarray analyses were done as described before. A gene was considered differentially expressed when the fold change was ≥ 2, ≤ 0.5, with a Bayes p ≤ 0.00001 and when at least 7 measurements were available.

Project description:The catalase-negative, facultative anaerobe Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 is naturally resistant to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced endogenously by pyruvate oxidase (SpxB). Here, we investigate the adaptive response to endogenously produced H2O2. We show that lactate oxidase, which converts lactate to pyruvate, positively impacts pyruvate flux through SpxB and that ∆lctO mutants produce significantly lower H2O2. In addition, both the SpxB and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) pathways contribute to acetyl-CoA production during aerobic growth, and the pyruvate format lyase (PFL) pathway is the major acetyl-CoA pathway during anaerobic growth. Microarray analysis of the D39 strain cultured under aerobic vs. strict anaerobic conditions show up-regulation of spxB, a rhodanese-like protein (spd0091), tpxD, sodA, piuB, piuD and an Fe-S protein biogenesis operon under H2O2-producing conditions. Proteome profiling of H2O2-induced sulfenylation reveals that sulfenylation levels correlate with cellular H2O2 production, with endogenous sulfenylation of ≈50 proteins. Deletion of tpxD increases cellular sulfenylation 5-fold and has an inhibitory effect on ATP generation. Two major targets of protein sulfenylation are glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapA) and SpxB itself, but also include pyruvate kinase, LctO, AdhE and acetate kinase (AckA). Sulfenylation of GapA is inhibitory, while the effect on SpxB activity is negligible, consistent with this cell-abundant protein functioning as a “sink” for endogenous H2O2. Strikingly, four enzymes of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis are sulfenylated, as are enzymes associated nucleotide biosynthesis via ribulose-5-phosphate. We propose that LctO/SpxB-generated H2O2 functions as a signaling molecule to down-regulate capsule production and drive altered flux through sugar utilization pathways.

Project description:Cobalt (Co(2 +)) is an important transition metal ion that plays a vital role in cellular physiology of bacteria. The role of Co(2 +) in the regulation of several genes/operons in Streptococcus pneumoniae has recently been reported [1]. The data described in this article relate to the genome-wide transcriptional profiling of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39, either in the presence or absence of 0.5 mM Co(2 +) in chemically defined medium (CDM) using DNA microarray analysis. Genes belonging to a broad range of cellular processes such as virulence, transport and efflux systems, stress response and surface attachment were differentially expressed in the presence of Co(2 +). We used transcriptional lacZ assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) to confirm our results [1]. The dataset is publicly available at the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) with accession number GSE57696.

Project description:A precise understanding of the genomic organization into transcriptional units and their regulation is essential for our comprehension of opportunistic human pathogens and how they cause disease. Using single-molecule real-time (PacBio) sequencing we unambiguously determined the genome sequence of Streptococcus pneumoniae strain D39 and revealed several inversions previously undetected by short-read sequencing. Significantly, a chromosomal inversion results in antigenic variation of PhtD, an important surface-exposed virulence factor. We generated a new genome annotation using automated tools, followed by manual curation, reflecting the current knowledge in the field. By combining sequence-driven terminator prediction, deep paired-end transcriptome sequencing and enrichment of primary transcripts by Cappable-Seq, we mapped 1015 transcriptional start sites and 748 termination sites. We show that the pneumococcal transcriptional landscape is complex and includes many secondary, antisense and internal promoters. Using this new genomic map, we identified several new small RNAs (sRNAs), RNA switches (including sixteen previously misidentified as sRNAs), and antisense RNAs. In total, we annotated 89 new protein-encoding genes, 34 sRNAs and 165 pseudogenes, bringing the S. pneumoniae D39 repertoire to 2146 genetic elements. We report operon structures and observed that 9% of operons are leaderless. The genome data are accessible in an online resource called PneumoBrowse (https://veeninglab.com/pneumobrowse) providing one of the most complete inventories of a bacterial genome to date. PneumoBrowse will accelerate pneumococcal research and the development of new prevention and treatment strategies.

Project description:Pyrimidine nucleotides play an important role in the biosynthesis of activated nucleotide sugars (NDP-sugars). NDP-sugars are the precursors of structural polysaccharides in bacteria, including capsule, which is a major virulence factor of the human pathogen S. pneumoniae. In this work, we identified a spontaneous non-reversible mutant of strain D39 that displayed a non-producing capsule phenotype. Whole-genome sequencing analysis of this mutant revealed several non-synonymous single base modifications, including in genes of the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines and in the -10 box of capsule operon promoter (Pcps). By directed mutagenesis we showed that the point mutation in Pcps was solely responsible for the drastic decrease in capsule expression. We also demonstrated that D39 subjected to uracil deprivation shows increased biomass and decreased Pcps activity and capsule amounts. Importantly, Pcps expression is further decreased by mutating the first gene of the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, carA. In contrast, the absence of uracil from the culture medium showed no effect on the spontaneous mutant strain. Co-cultivation of the wild-type and the mutant strain indicated a competitive advantage of the spontaneous mutant (non-producing capsule) in medium devoid of uracil. We propose a model in that uracil may act as a signal for the production of different capsule amounts in S. pneumoniae.
