Gene expression of a Photorhabdus M-form variant relative to the wild type P-form cells

ABSTRACT: Photorhabdus luminescens bacteria alternate lifestyles between its pathogenic insect host and its mutualistic nematode host. We found that Photorhabdus changes radically from the insect pathogenic form (P-form) to slow growing small cells when initiating mutualism (M-form). Here we characterize the gene expression of the M-form relative to the P-form. RNA was extracted from mid-exponential phase bacterial cultures of genetically locked P-form and M-form cells in LB media supplemented with 1 g/liter sodium pyruvate at 28 degree celcius. M-form gene expression was calculated relative to P-form. Three replicates were performed for each biological sample.

RNA-Sequencing analysis of the Drosophila transcriptomic response to infection by entomopathogenic nematodes and their mutualistic bacteria

Project description:We report the application of next generation RNA sequencing to analyze the transcriptional response of Drosophila adult flies to infection by the insect pathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and their mutualistic bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens, either separately or together. We find that Heterorhabditis and Photorhabdus differentially modulate a large number of genes, many of which participate in metabolic functions, stress responses, repression of gene transcription and neuronal activities. We have also identified Drosophila genes with potential role in nematode recognition and others with putative anti-nematode properties. These findings generate novel insights into how the host immune function is shaped to respond against nematode parasites and their associated bacteria. Transcriptional profiles of Drosophila wild-type adult flies infected with Heterorhabditis bacteriophora carrying or lacking Photorhabdus or the bacteria alone were generated at 12 and 30 hours post infection using Illumina deep sequencing technology.

Transcriptionnal analysis of a Photorhabdus luminescens TT01 variant, named VAR*, which is a colonial and phenotypic variant displaying delayed pathogenicity in the insect, Spodoptera littoralis.

Project description:Photorhabdus luminescens lives in a mutualistic association with entomopathogenic nematodes and is pathogenic for insects. Variants of Photorhabdus frequently arise. VAR* is a colonial and phenotypic variant displaying delayed pathogenicity in the insect, Spodoptera littoralis. In this study, we evaluated the role of transcriptomic modulation in determining the phenotypic variation and delayed pathogenicity of VAR* with respect to the corresponding wild-type form, TT01alpha. A P. luminescens microarray was used to determine changes in transcript profiles in the exponential and stationary phase growth phase of VAR* and TT01alpha grown in LB broth. Direct transcriptomic comparisons were carried out between VAR* and TT01alpha grown in LB broth. RNA were extracted from bacterial cells in the exponential growth phase (6-hour-old culture, 5 x 107 cfu/ml) and stationary phase (45-hour-old culture, 5 x 108 cfu/ml). Each microarray comparison (TT01alpha versus VAR* growth in exponential growth or stationary phase) included six slides, with three dye-swapping replicates. Each microarray comparison is done twice with two independant biological extractions (repbiol1 or 2).

RNA-Sequencing analysis of the Drosophila transcriptomic response to infection by entomopathogenic nematodes and their mutualistic bacteria

The Drosophila immune response towards entomopathogenic nematodes and their associated bacteria.

Project description:Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the genera Heterorhabditis are obligate and lethal insect parasites. In recent years they have been used increasingly as biological control agents. These EPNs are symbiotically associated with bacteria of the genera Photorhabdus. The bacterial symbionts are essential to kill the host (within 24-48 hours) and digest its tissues to provide nutrients for themselves as well for expanding nematodes. Drosophila larvae are suitable insect hosts and part of the tripartite model system we used before to show the importance of haemolymph clotting and eicosanoids during the infection. We used the well-established tripartite model (Drosophila, nematodes, bacteria), DNA chips and bioinformatic tools to compare gene expression in non-infected and infected fly larvae. We focused on the early time point of nematode infection and therefore infected Drosophila larvae using H. bacteriophora harbouring GFP-labelled P. luminescens bacteria. Infected (GFP positive) larvae were collected 6 hours after infection.

DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) overexpression impairs Photorhabdus luminescens motility and virulence

Project description:Dam, the most described bacterial DNA-methyltransferase, is widespread in gamma-proteobacteria. Dam DNA methylation can play a role in various genes expression and is involved in pathogenicity of several bacterial species. In the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, a dam ortholog was identified. Overexpression of dam in P. luminescens did not impair growth ability in vitro. In contrast, compared to a control strain harboring an empty plasmid, a significant decrease in motility was observed in the dam-overexpressing strain. In addition, the dam-overexpressing P. luminescens strain showed a delayed virulence compared to that of the control strain after injection in larvae of the lepidopteran Spodoptera littoralis. These results reveal that Dam plays a major role during P. luminescens insect infection.
