Project description:Electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) are capable of electrochemical interactions with electrodes via extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways and serve as essential components in bioelectrochemical systems. Previous studies have suggested that EAB, such as Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, use cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor proteins for coordinately regulating the expression of catabolic and EET-related genes, allowing us to hypothesize that the intracellular cAMP concentration is an important factor determining electrochemical activities of EAB. The present study constructed an MR-1 mutant, cyaC-OE that overexpressed cyaC, a gene encoding a membrane-bound class III adenylate cyclase, and examined its electrochemical and transcriptomic characteristics. We show that intracellular cAMP concentration in cyaC-OE is more than double that in wild-type MR-1, and cya-OE generates approximately two-fold higher current in BES than the wild type. In addition, the expression of genes involved in EET and anaerobic carbon catabolism is up-regulated in cya-OE as compared to that in the wild type. These results suggest that enhancement of the intracellular cAMP level is a promising approach for constructing an EAB with high catabolic and electrochemical activities.

Project description:Bioelectrochemical systems employing mixed microbial communities as biocatalysts are gaining importance as potential renewable energy, bioremediation, or biosensing devices. While we are beginning to understand how individual microorganism species interact with an electrode as electron donor, not much is known about the interactions between different microbial species in a community. Here, we compare the bioelectrochemical performance of Shewanella oneidensis in a pure-culture and in a co-culture with the homolactic acid fermenter Lactococcus lactis. While S. oneidensis alone can only use lactate as electron donor for current production, the co-culture is able to convert glucose into current with a similar coulombic efficiency of approximately 17%, respectively. With (electro)-chemical analysis and transcription profiling, we found that the BES performance and S. oneidensis physiology were not significantly different whether grown as a pure- or co-culture. These co-culture experiments represent a first step in understanding microbial interactions in BES communities with the goal to design complex microbial communities, which specifically convert target substrates into electricity. Further, for the first time, we elucidated S. oneidensis gene expression with an electrode as the only electron acceptor. The expression pattern confirms many previous studies regarding the enzymatic requirements for electrode respiration, and it generates new hypotheses on the functions of proteins, which are so far not known to be involved in electrode respiration. The BES was either operated with S. oneidensis alone, fed with lactate, or it was operated with S. oneidensis and L. lactis with glucose as primary substrate. The basic medium was a modified M4 medium containing 0.5 g/L yeast extract, 0.5 g/L trypton and 5 g/L glycerol phosphate, besides the commen M4 incredients. S. oneidensis oxidizes lactate to acetate and electrons in a BES - the latter generate a current at a graphite anode. The anode biofilm was harvested after about 4 weeks of continuous BES operation and subjected to total RNA extraction.

Project description:The whooping cough agent, Bordetella pertussis, subverts dendritic cell (DCs) functions through powerful immunomodulatory activities of its toxins. Here we focused on the signaling action of the adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) that targets myeloid cells expressing the αMβ2 integrin CD11b/CD18 (known as complement receptor 3 (CR3) or Mac-1). CyaA delivers an extremely catalytically potent adenylyl cyclase enzyme domain into the cytosol of phagocytes and disrupts their innate and adaptive immune functions through unregulated production of the key signaling molecule cAMP. Here we describe the global phosphoproteomic analysis of cAMP signaling in murine bone marrow-derived DCs exposed to CyaA. Gathered data reveal toxin-triggered alternations of phosphorylation status of proteins regulating actin cytoskeleton, chromatin remodeling, mTOR activity and IL-10 gene expression. The reported findings highlight the complexity of subversive physiological manipulation that is exerted on myeloid phagocytes by the cAMP-generating adenylate cyclase toxin of Bordetellae.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the transcriptome due to the lack of adenylate cyclase in light or darkness. As the cAMP pathway represents an output pathway of heterotrimeric G-protein signaling ACY1 is likely to be important for regulation of enzymes in response to different nutrient conditions. Also, a light dependent effect was found earlier.

Project description:Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram-negative respiratory pathogen that causes a diverse spectrum of respiratory disease in a wide-range of hosts. We sought to determine if strains of B. bronchiseptica differed in virulence using the mouse model of infection. Mean lethal doses (LD50) of different B. bronchiseptica strains varied widely in the murine model. B. bronchiseptica strain 253 had a LD50 that was 10-fold lower than the prototypical and fully sequenced B. bronchiseptica strain RB50. Using whole genomic transcriptome analysis covering 100% of B. bronchisetpctica strain RB50ÃÂÃÂs predicted open reading frames (ORFs), 253 was identified as lacking expression of adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT).

Project description:. In this study we show successful use of SWATH-MS for quantitative proteomic analysis of a microbial electrochemically active biofilm. Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was grown on carbon cloth electrodes under continuous anodic electrochemical polarizations in a bioelectrochemical system. Using lactate as the electron donor, anodes serving as terminal microbial electron acceptors were operated at three different electrode potentials (+0.71V, +0.21V & -0.19V vs. SHE) and the development of catalytic activity was monitored by measuring the current traces over time. Once maximum current was reached (usually within 21-29 hours) the electrochemical systems were shut off and biofilm proteins were extracted from the electrodes for proteomic assessment.
