Project description:Multiple immune pathways in humans conjugate ubiquitin-like proteins to virus and host molecules as a means of antiviral defense. Here we studied an anti-phage defense system in bacteria, comprising a ubiquitin-like protein, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E1 and E2, and a deubiquitinase. We show that during phage infection, this system specifically conjugates the ubiquitin-like protein to the phage central tail fiber, a protein at the tip of the tail that is essential for tail assembly as well as for recognition of the target host receptor. Following infection, cells encoding this defense system release a mixture of partially assembled, tailless phage particles, and fully assembled phages in which the central tail fiber is obstructed by the covalently attached ubiquitin-like protein. These phages exhibit severely impaired infectivity, explaining how the defense system protects the bacterial population from the spread of phage infection. Our findings demonstrate that conjugation of ubiquitin-like proteins is an antiviral strategy conserved across the tree of life.

Project description:The global transcriptional profile of novel T7-like Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage LUZ100 was obtained using the long read RNA sequencing technique ONT-cappable-seq. Using this approach we obtained a comprehensive genome-wide map of viral transcription start sites, terminators and transcription units and gained new insights in the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of T7-like temperate phages.

Project description:By entering a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity, dormant microorganisms are able to contend with suboptimal conditions that would otherwise reduce their fitness. In addition, certain types of dormancy like sporulation, can serve as a refuge from parasitic infections. Phages are unable to attach to spores, but their genomes can be entrapped in the resting structures and are able to resume infection upon host germination. Thus, dormancy has the potential to affect both the reproductive and survival components of phage fitness. Here, we characterized the distribution and diversity of sigma factors in nearly 3,500 phage genomes. Homologs of bacterial sigma factors that are responsible for directing transcription during sporulation were preferentially recovered in phages that infect spore-forming hosts. While non-essential for lytic infection, when expressed in Bacillus subtilis, we demonstrate that phage-encoded sigma factors activated sporulation gene networks and reduced spore yield. Our findings suggest that the acquisition of host-like transcriptional regulators may allow phages to manipulate the expression of complex traits, like the transitions involved in bacterial dormancy.

Project description:The main virulence factor of Vibrio cholerae, the cholera toxin, is encoded by the ctxAB operon, which is contained in the genome of the lysogenic filamentous phage CTX phi. This phage transmits ctxAB genes between V. cholerae bacterial populations that express toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), the CTX phi receptor. In investigating new forms of ctxAB transmission, we found that V. cholerae filamentous phage VGJ phi, which uses the mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) pilus as a receptor, transmits CTX phi or its satellite phage RS1 by an efficient and highly specific TCP-independent mechanism. This is a novel type of specialized transduction consisting in the site-specific cointegration of VGJ phi and CTX phi (or RS1) replicative forms to produce a single hybrid molecule, which generates a single-stranded DNA hybrid genome that is packaged into hybrid viral particles designated HybP phi (for the VGJ phi/CTX phi hybrid) and HybRS phi (for the VGJ phi/RS1 hybrid). The hybrid phages replicate by using the VGJ phi replicating functions and use the VGJ phi capsid, retaining the ability to infect via MSHA. The hybrid phages infect most tested strains more efficiently than CTX phi, even under in vitro optimal conditions for TCP expression. Infection and lysogenization with HybP phi revert the V. cholerae live attenuated vaccine strain 1333 to virulence. Our results reinforce that TCP is not indispensable for the acquisition of CTX phi. Thus, we discuss an alternative to the current accepted evolutionary model for the emergence of new toxigenic strains of V. cholerae and the importance of our findings for the development of an environmentally safer live attenuated cholera vaccine.

Project description:Many, if not all, bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) to control gene expression and collective behaviours, and more recently QS has also been discovered in bacteriophages (phages). Phages can produce communication molecules of their own, or “listen in” on the host’s communication processes, in order to switch between lytic and lysogenic modes of infection. In this project, we studied the interaction of Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera disease, with the lysogenic vibriophage VP882. The lytic cycle of VP882 is induced by the QS molecule DPO (3,5-dimethylpyrazin-2-ol), however, the global regulatory consequences of DPO-mediated VP882 activation have remained unclear.

Project description:hvKP ATCC43816 and its lytic phage H5 were employed as a phage-antibiotic combination model. Based on the comprehensive characterization of phages, including cryo-electron microscopy, we evaluated the synergic effect of H5 on bacterial killing in vitro when combined with multiple antibiotics, and analyzed the advantages of phage-antibiotic combinations from an evolutionary perspective and proposes a novel PAS mechanism by using ceftazidime as an example.

Project description:We describe a novel filamentous phage, designated VGJ phi, isolated from strain SG25-1 of Vibrio cholerae O139, which infects all O1 (classical and El Tor) and O139 strains tested. The sequence of the 7,542 nucleotides of the phage genome reveals that VGJ phi has a distinctive region of 775 nucleotides and a conserved region with an overall genomic organization similar to that of previously characterized filamentous phages, such as CTX phi of V. cholerae and Ff phages of Escherichia coli. The conserved region carries 10 open reading frames (ORFs) coding for products homologous to previously reported peptides of other filamentous phages, and the distinctive region carries one ORF whose product is not homologous to any known peptide. VGJ phi, like other filamentous phages, uses a type IV pilus to infect V. cholerae; in this case, the pilus is the mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin. VGJ phi-infected V. cholerae overexpresses the product of one ORF of the phage (ORF112), which is similar to single-stranded DNA binding proteins of other filamentous phages. Once inside a cell, VGJ phi is able to integrate its genome into the same chromosomal attB site as CTX phi, entering into a lysogenic state. Additionally, we found an attP structure in VGJ phi, which is also conserved in several lysogenic filamentous phages from different bacterial hosts. Finally, since different filamentous phages seem to integrate into the bacterial dif locus by a general mechanism, we propose a model in which repeated integration events with different phages might have contributed to the evolution of the CTX chromosomal region in V. cholerae El Tor.
