Project description:PhiRSA1 is a wide-host-range bacteriophage isolated from Ralstonia solanacearum. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence of the phiRSA1 genomic DNA was determined. The genome was 38,760 bp of double-stranded DNA (65.3% G+C) with 19-bp 5'-extruding cohesive ends (cos) and contained 51 open reading frames (ORFs). Two-thirds of the phiRSA1 genomic region encodes the phage structural modules, and they are very similar to those reported for coliphage P2 and P2-like phages. A phiRSA1 minireplicon with an 8.2-kbp early-expressing region was constructed. A late-expression promoter sequence motif was predicted for these phiRSA1 genes as 5' TGTTGT-(X)13-ACAACA. The genomic sequence similarity between phiRSA1 and related phages phi52237 and phiCTX was interrupted by three AT islands, one of which contained an insertion sequence element, suggesting that they were recombinational hot spots. phiRSA1 was found to be integrated into at least three different strains of R. solanacearum, and the chromosomal integration site (attB) was identified as the 3' portion of the arginine tRNA(CCG) gene. In the light of the phiRSA1 gene arrangement, one possible prophage sequence previously detected on the chromosome of R. solanacearum strain GMI1000 was characterized as a phiRSA1-related prophage (designated phiRSX). phiRSX was found to be integrated at the serine tRNA (GGA) gene as an att site, and its size was determined to be 40,713 bp. phiRSX ORFs shared very high amino acid identity with their phiRSA1 counterparts. The relationships and evolution of these P2-like phages are discussed.

Project description:Ralstonia solanacearum is a ubiquitous soil-borne plant pathogenic bacterium, which frequently encounters and interacts with other soil cohabitants in competition for environmental niches. Ralsolamycin, which is encoded by the rmy genes, has been characterized as a novel inter-kingdom interaction signal that induces chlamydospore development in fungi. In this study, we provide the first genetic evidence that the rmy gene expression is controlled by the PhcBSR quorum sensing (QS) system in strain GMI1000. Mutation of phcB could lead to significant reduction of the expression levels of the genes involved in ralsolamycin biosynthesis. In addition, both the phcB and rmy mutants were attenuated in induction of chlamydospore formation in Fusarium oxysporum f. cubense and diminished in the ability to compete with the sugarcane pathogen Sporisorium scitamineum. Agreeable with the pattern of QS regulation, transcriptional expression analysis showed that the transcripts of the rmy genes were increased along with the increment of the bacterial population density. Taken together, the above findings provide new insights into the regulatory mechanisms that the QS system involves in governing the ralsolamycin inter-kingdom signaling system.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ralstonia solanacearum is an important plant pathogen. The genome of R. solananearum GMI1000 is organised into two replicons (a 3.7-Mb chromosome and a 2.1-Mb megaplasmid) and this bipartite genome structure is characteristic for most R. solanacearum strains. To determine whether the megaplasmid was acquired via recent horizontal gene transfer or is part of an ancestral single chromosome, we compared the abundance, distribution and composition of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) between both replicons and also compared the respective compositional biases. RESULTS:Our data show that both replicons are very similar in respect to distribution and composition of SSRs and presence of compositional biases. Minor variations in SSR and compositional biases observed may be attributable to minor differences in gene expression and regulation of gene expression or can be attributed to the small sample numbers observed. CONCLUSIONS:The observed similarities indicate that both replicons have shared a similar evolutionary history and thus suggest that the megaplasmid was not recently acquired from other organisms by lateral gene transfer but is a part of an ancestral R. solanacearum chromosome.

Project description:The alternative sigma factor RpoN is a unique regulator found among bacteria. It controls numerous processes that range from basic metabolism to more complex functions such as motility and nitrogen fixation. Our current understanding of RpoN function is largely derived from studies on prototypical bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas putida. Although the extent and necessity of RpoN-dependent functions differ radically between these model organisms, each bacterium depends on a single chromosomal rpoN gene to meet the cellular demands of RpoN regulation. The bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum is often recognized for being the causative agent of wilt disease in crops, including banana, peanut and potato. However, this plant pathogen is also one of the few bacterial species whose genome possesses dual rpoN genes. To determine if the rpoN genes in this bacterium are genetically redundant and interchangeable, we constructed and characterized ?rpoN1, ?rpoN2 and ?rpoN1 ?rpoN2 mutants of R. solanacearum GMI1000. It was found that growth on a small range of metabolites, including dicarboxylates, ethanol, nitrate, ornithine, proline and xanthine, were dependent on only the rpoN1 gene. Furthermore, the rpoN1 gene was required for wilt disease on tomato whereas rpoN2 had no observable role in virulence or metabolism in R. solanacearum GMI1000. Interestingly, plasmid-based expression of rpoN2 did not fully rescue the metabolic deficiencies of the ?rpoN1 mutants; full recovery was specific to rpoN1. In comparison, only rpoN2 was able to genetically complement a ?rpoN E. coli mutant. These results demonstrate that the RpoN1 and RpoN2 proteins are not functionally equivalent or interchangeable in R. solanacearum GMI1000.

Project description:The invasion and colonization of host plants by the destructive pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum rely on its cell motility, which is controlled by multiple factors. Here, we report that the LysR-type transcriptional regulator CrgA (RS_RS16695) represses cell motility in R. solanacearum GMI1000. CrgA possesses common features of a LysR-type transcriptional regulator and contains an N-terminal helix-turn-helix motif as well as a C-terminal LysR substrate-binding domain. Deletion of crgA results in an enhanced swim ring and increased transcription of flhDC In addition, the ΔcrgA mutant possesses more polar flagella than wild-type GMI1000 and exhibits higher expression of the flagellin gene fliC Despite these alterations, the ΔcrgA mutant did not have a detectable growth defect in culture. Yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that CrgA interacts directly with the flhDC promoter. Expressing the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter under the control of the crgA promoter showed that crgA transcription is dependent on cell density. Soil-soaking inoculation with the crgA mutant caused wilt symptoms on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Hong yangli) plants earlier than inoculation with the wild-type GMI1000 but resulted in lower disease severity. We conclude that the R. solanacearum regulator CrgA represses flhDC expression and consequently affects the expression of fliC to modulate cell motility, thereby conditioning disease development in host plants.IMPORTANCERalstonia solanacearum is a widely distributed soilborne plant pathogen that causes bacterial wilt disease on diverse plant species. Motility is a critical virulence attribute of R. solanacearum because it allows this pathogen to efficiently invade and colonize host plants. In R. solanacearum, motility-defective strains are markedly affected in pathogenicity, which is coregulated with multiple virulence factors. In this study, we identified a new LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR), CrgA, that negatively regulates motility. The mutation of the corresponding gene leads to the precocious appearance of wilt symptoms on tomato plants when the pathogen is introduced using soil-soaking inoculation. This study indicates that the regulation of R. solanacearum motility is more complex than previously thought and enhances our understanding of flagellum regulation in R. solanacearum.

Project description:BackgroundThe infection and virulence functions of diverse plant and animal pathogens that possess quorum sensing systems are regulated by N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) acting as signal molecules. AHL-acylase is a quorum quenching enzyme and degrades AHLs by removing the fatty acid side chain from the homoserine lactone ring of AHLs. This blocks AHL accumulation and pathogenic phenotypes in quorum sensing bacteria.ResultsAn aac gene of undemonstrated function from Ralstonia solanacearum GMI1000 was cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli; it inactivated four AHLs that were tested. The sequence of the 795 amino acid polypeptide was considerably similar to the AHL-acylase from Ralstonia sp. XJ12B with 83% identity match and shared 39% identity with an aculeacin A acylase precursor from the gram-positive actinomycete Actinoplanes utahensis. Aculeacin A is a neutral lipopeptide antibiotic and an antifungal drug. An electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis verified that Aac hydrolysed the amide bond of AHL, releasing homoserine lactone and the corresponding fatty acids. However, ESI-MS analysis demonstrated that the Aac could not catalyze the hydrolysis of the palmitoyl moiety of the aculeacin A. Moreover, the results of MIC test of aculeacin A suggest that Aac could not deacylate aculeacin A. The specificity of Aac for AHLs showed a greater preference for long acyl chains than for short acyl chains. Heterologous expression of the aac gene in Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 effectively inhibited violacein and chitinase activity, both of which were regulated by the quorum-sensing mechanism. These results indicated that Aac could control AHL-dependent pathogenicity.ConclusionThis is the first study to find an AHL-acylase in a phytopathogen. Our data provide direct evidence that the functioning of the aac gene (NP520668) of R. solanacearum GMI1000 is via AHL-acylase and not via aculeacin A acylase. Since Aac is a therapeutic potential quorum-quenching agent, its further biotechnological applications in agriculture, clinical and bio-industrial fields should be evaluated in the near future.
