Project description:RNases perform indispensable functions in regulating gene expression in many bacterial pathogens by processing and/or degrading RNAs. Despite the pivotal role of RNases in regulating bacterial virulence factors, the functions of RNases have not yet been studied in the major human respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). Here, we sought to determine the impact of two conserved RNases, the endoribonuclease RNase Y and exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), on the physiology and virulence of S. pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39. We report that RNase Y and PNPase are essential for pneumococcal pathogenesis as both deletion mutants showed strong attenuation of virulence in murine models of invasive pneumonia. Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed that nearly 200 mRNA transcripts were significantly up-regulated, whereas the abundance of several pneumococcal sRNAs, including the Ccn (CiaR Controlled Noncoding RNA) sRNAs, were altered in the ∆rny mutant relative to the wild-type strain. Additionally, lack of RNase Y resulted in pleiotropic phenotypes that included defects in pneumococcal cell morphology and growth in vitro. In contrast, Dpnp mutants showed no growth defect in vitro, but differentially expressed a total of 40 transcripts including the tryptophan biosynthesis operon genes and numerous 5’-cis-acting regulatory RNAs, a majority of which were previously shown to impact pneumococcal disease progression in mice using the serotype 4 strain TIGR4. Altogether our data suggest that RNase Y exerts a global impact on pneumococcal physiology, while PNPase-mediates virulence phenotypes, likely through sRNA regulation.

We report that RNase Y and PNPase are essential for pneumococcal pathogenesis, as both deletion mutants showed strong attenuation of virulence in murine models of invasive pneumonia. Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed that the abundances of nearly 200 mRNA transcripts were significantly increased, whereas those of several pneumococcal small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs), including the Ccn (CiaR-controlled noncoding RNA) sRNAs, were altered in the Δrny mutant relative to the wild-type strain. Additionally, lack of RNase Y resulted in pleiotropic phenotypes that included defects in pneumococcal cell morphology and growth in vitro. In contrast, Δpnp mutants showed no growth defect in vitro but differentially expressed a total of 40 transcripts, including the tryptophan biosynthesis operon genes and numerous 5' cis-acting regulatory RNAs, a majority of which were previously shown to impact pneumococcal disease progression in mice using the serotype 4 strain TIGR4. Together, our data suggest that RNase Y exerts a global impact on pneumococcal physiology, while PNPase mediates virulence phenotypes, likely through sRNA regulation. IMPORTANCE Streptococcus pneumoniae is a notorious human pathogen that adapts to conditions in distinct host tissues and responds to host cell interactions by adjusting gene expression. RNases are key players that modulate gene expression by mediating the turnover of regulatory and protein-coding transcripts. Here, we characterized two highly conserved RNases, RNase Y and PNPase, and evaluated their impact on the S. pneumoniae transcriptome for the first time. We show that PNPase influences the levels of a narrow set of mRNAs but a large number of regulatory RNAs primarily implicated in virulence control, whereas RNase Y has a more sweeping effect on gene expression, altering levels of transcripts involved in diverse cellular processes, including cell division, metabolism, stress response, and virulence. This study further reveals that RNase Y regulates expression of genes governing competence by mediating the turnover of CiaR-controlled noncoding (Ccn) sRNAs.

Project description:Zn and Mn are essential micronutrients for many bacteria including Streptococcus pneumoniae. While Zn performs vital structural or catalytic roles in certain proteins, in excess, Zn can inhibit Mn uptake by S. pneumoniae and displace, but not functionally replace Mn from key enzymes including superoxide dismutase A (SodA). Here, we show that the Ccn small regulatory RNAs promote S. pneumoniae Mn uptake and resistance to the oxidative stress. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these small regulatory RNAs modulate the ability of S. pneumoniae to cause invasive pneumonia. Altogether, these findings reveal a new layer of regulation of S. pneumoniae Zn and Mn homeostasis and suggest that there are factors in addition to known transporters that modulate intracellular Mn levels.
