Project description:The mammalian gastrointestinal tract and the bloodstream are highly disparate biological niches, and yet certain commensal-pathogenic microorganisms are able to thrive in both environments. Here, we report the evolution of a unique transcription circuit in the yeast, Candida albicans, which determines its fitness in both host niches. Our comprehensive analysis of the DNA-binding proteins that regulate iron uptake by this organism suggests the evolutionary intercalation of a transcriptional activator called Sef1 between two broadly conserved transcriptional repressors, Sfu1 and Hap43. The Sef1 activator of iron uptake genes promotes virulence in a mouse model of bloodstream infection, whereas the Sfu1 repressor is dispensable for virulence but promotes gastrointestinal commensalism. We propose that the ability to alternate between genetic programs conferring resistance to iron depletion in the bloodstream versus iron toxicity in the gut may be a fundamental attribute of gastrointestinal commensal-pathogens.

Project description:Canonically, the complement system is known for its rapid response to remove microbes in the bloodstream. However, relatively little is known about a functioning complement system on intestinal mucosal surfaces. Herein we report the local synthesis of complement component 3 (C3) in the gut, primarily by stromal cells. C3 is expressed upon commensal colonization, is regulated by the composition of the microbiota in healthy humans and mice, leading to an individual host’s specific luminal C3 levels. The absence of membrane attack complex (MAC) components in the gut ensures that C3 deposition does not result in the lysis of commensals. Pathogen infection triggers the immune system to recruit neutrophils to the infection site for pathogen clearance. Basal C3 levels directly correlate with protection against enteric infection. Our study reveals the gut complement system as a novel innate immune mechanism acting as a vigilant sentinel that combats pathogens and spares commensals.

ChIP analyses to profile genome-wide of distribution of Sef1, Sfu1 and Hap43 in response to various iron availability. 12 independent ChIP experiments were performed on 6 biological replicates of the untagged control and 2 biological replicates each of Sef1-Myc, Sfu1-Myc, and Hap43-Myc.

Project description:Pichia kudriavzevii causes life-threatening infections in immune compromised hosts including hospitalized neonates. This pathogen is resistant to fluconazole while uncommon, strains resistant to multiple antifungal drugs voriconazole, amphotericin B and echinocandins have been reported in healthcare environments. Understanding how P. kudriavzevii spread, persist, and adapt to healthcare settings could help us develop better management strategies. In this study, whole genome sequencing identifies multiple outbreaks of bloodstream infections caused by P. kudriavzevii in a single neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over five years. Interestingly, two genetically diverse clusters of P. kudriavzevii population showed frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events between two temporal samples. The first outbreak cluster (during 2015-16) showed LOH at chromosomes 1, 4 and 5 and the other outbreak cluster (year 2020) exhibited marked LOH at chromosome 2. The circulation of two separate strain clusters of P. kudriavzevii suggests nosocomial transmission in the NICU in different time periods. Further, to evaluate the gene expression difference between isolates from two clusters, we compared the transcriptomic profiles of three isolates of cluster I and II and exhibiting distinct fluconazole MICs. While no difference was found at the azole target gene ERG11 or the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes, differences in transcript abundance were found between the two isolates in genes coding for cell division and filamentation, repressor of ABC gene, FCR1 and ERG5 gene involved in ergosterol biosynthesis pathway. Our study indicates significant diversity, persistence, and rapid evolution of P. kudriavzevii within a single NICU.
