Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a medically important pathogen that exhibit high metabolic versatility allowing it to infect various niches within a host. S. aureus utilizes two major transcriptional regulators, CodY and CcpA, to remodel metabolic and virulence gene expression in response to changing environmental conditions. Previous studies revealed that inactivation of either codY or ccpA has a pronounced impact on different aspects of staphylococcal physiology and pathogenesis. To determine the contribution and interplay of these two regulators in modulating central metabolism, virulence, and biofilm development we constructed and characterized codY ccpA double mutant in S. aureus UAMS-1. In line with previous studies, we found that CcpA and CodY control cellular metabolic status by altering carbon flow through the central and overflow metabolic pathways. Our results demonstrate that ccpA inactivation impairs biofilm formation and decreases incorporation of eDNA into the biofilm matrix while disrupting codY resulted in a robust structured biofilm tethered together with eDNA and PIA. Interestingly, inactivation of both codY and ccpA decreases biofilm biomass and neglects eDNA release in the double mutant. Compared to inactivation of codY, the codY ccpA mutant did not overexpress toxins but maintained overexpression of amino acid metabolism pathways. Furthermore, codY ccpA mutant produced higher amounts of PIA, in contrast to the wild-type strain and ccpA mutant. Overall, results of this study suggest that interplay between CodY and CcpA modulates central metabolism to optimize growth on preferred carbon sources while repressing virulence gene expression until nutrient limitation requires scavenging nutrients from the host.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a medically important pathogen with high metabolic versatility allowing it to infect various niches within a host. S. aureus utilizes two major transcriptional regulators, namely, CodY and CcpA, to remodel metabolic and virulence gene expression in response to changing environmental conditions. Previous studies revealed that inactivation of either codY or ccpA has a pronounced impact on different aspects of staphylococcal physiology and pathogenesis. To determine the contribution and interplay of these two regulators in modulating central metabolism, virulence, and biofilm development, we constructed and characterized the codY ccpA double mutant in S. aureus UAMS-1. In line with previous studies, we found that CcpA and CodY control the cellular metabolic status by altering carbon flux through the central and overflow metabolic pathways. Our results demonstrate that ccpA inactivation impairs biofilm formation and decreases incorporation of extracellular DNA (eDNA) into the biofilm matrix, whereas disrupting codY resulted in a robust structured biofilm tethered together with eDNA and polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA). Interestingly, inactivation of both codY and ccpA decreases biofilm biomass and reduces eDNA release in the double mutant. Compared with the inactivation of codY, the codY ccpA mutant did not overexpress toxins but maintained overexpression of amino acid metabolism pathways. Furthermore, the codY ccpA mutant produced large amounts of PIA, in contrast to the wild-type strain and ccpA mutant. Combined, the results of this study suggest that the coordinated action of CodY and CcpA modulate central metabolism, virulence gene expression, and biofilm-associated genes to optimize growth on preferred carbon sources until starvation sets in. IMPORTANCE Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of biofilm-associated infections, including infective endocarditis, worldwide. A greater understanding of metabolic forces driving biofilm formation in S. aureus is essential for the identification of novel therapeutic targets and for the development of new strategies to combat this medically important pathogen. This study characterizes the interplay and regulation of central metabolism and biofilm development by two global transcriptional regulators, CodY and CcpA. We found that the lack of CcpA and/or CodY have different impacts on intracellular metabolic status leading to a formation of morphologically altered biofilms. Overall, the results of this study provide new insights into our understanding of metabolism-mediated regulation of biofilm development in S. aureus.

Project description:CodY is a conserved broad acting transcriptional factor that regulates the expression of genes related to amino acid metabolism and virulence in Staphylococcus aureus. CodY target genes have been studied by using in vitro DNA affinity purification and deep sequencing (IDAP-Seq). In this study we performed the first in vivo determination of CodY target genes using a novel CodY monoclonal antibody in established ChIP-exo protocols. Our results showed, 1) The same 165 CodY target genes in both strains; 2) That the differential binding intensity for the same target genes under the same conditions were due to sequence differences in the same CodY binding site in the two strains; 3) Based on transcriptomic data, a CodY regulon comprising 72 target genes that revealed that CodY is mainly involved in amino acid transport and metabolism, inorganic ion transport and metabolism, and cellular transcription and translation; and 4) CodY systematically regulated central metabolic flux to generate branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) by mapping the CodY regulon onto a genome-scale metabolic model of S. aureus. Our study performed the first system-level analysis of CodY in two closely related dominant USA300 TCH1516 and LAC strains, thus expanding the size of the known CodY regulon, and giving new insights into the similarities and differences of CodY regulatory roles between closely related strains.

Project description:More than 200 direct CodY target genes in Staphylococcus aureus were identified by genome-wide analysis of in vitro DNA binding. This analysis, which was confirmed for some genes by DNase I footprinting assays, revealed that CodY is a direct regulator of numerous transcription units associated with amino acid biosynthesis, transport of macromolecules and virulence. The virulence genes regulated by CodY fell into three groups. One group was dependent on the Agr system for its expression; these genes were indirectly regulated by CodY through its repression of the agr locus. A second group was regulated directly by CodY. The third group, which includes genes for alpha-toxin and capsule synthesis, was regulated by CodY in two ways, i.e., by direct repression and by repression of the agr locus. Since S. aureus CodY was activated in vitro by the branched chain amino acids and GTP, CodY appears to link changes in intracellular metabolite pools with the induction of numerous adaptive responses, including virulence.

Project description:In this report, codY mutant strains were constructed and used to demonstrate the relationship of (p)ppGpp synthesized by RelP and RelQ with the activation of CodY. In addition, because CodY has not been studied in S. mutans, we used microarrays to demonstrate that this protein function as a global regulator of gene expression in S. mutans.

Project description:To gain knowledge on L. monocytogenes differential CodY activity, we set on analyzing CodY’s regulon in L. monocytogenes in both rich and minimal growth conditions using genome-wide sequencing techniques. Remarkably, we identified for the first time a global regulatory role for CodY when BCAAs are limited, that are similar to those within the mammalian niche. Furthermore, our data establish CodY as a central regulator that integrates metabolism, motility, stress responses and virulence in L. monocytogenes.

Project description:CodY is a widely conserved global regulator, regulating nitrogen metabolism, virulence, and stress response in Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we performed ChIP-seq to define the CodY regulon in L. lactis, and found that CodY served either as an activator or as a repressor of hundreds of genes. The genes involved in amino acid biosynthesis and transport, cell wall synthesis, nisin synthesis and immunity, and several transcription regulators were identified regulated by CodY for the first time. Intriguingly, CodY could directly bind to the downstream of codY. This study gives new insights into the function of CodY controlling cell wall synthesis, nisin synthesis and immunity, as well as self-regulation in L. lactis.
