Transcriptome study of the covS-regulation of a Group A Streptococcus pyogenes M23ND

ABSTRACT: We investigated the covS-regulation of S. pyogenes in a hypervirulent M23 strain using RNA-sequencing. The differential gene expression comparison between the covS- mutant and isogenic wild type covS+ identified altered expression of 349 (18%) genes, including a broad spectrum of virulence genes and diverse metabolic genes. The data showed that the strain achieved hypervirulence by enhancing the expression of genes responsible for invasiveness and antiphagocytosis (i.e., hasABC), by abrogating the expression of toxic genes (i.e., speB), and by compromising gene products with dispensable functions (i.e., sfb1). Meanwhile, we found that covS also regulated diverse kinds of metabolic genes that maximized nutrient utilization and energy metabolism during growth and dissemination. From constructing a genome-scale metabolic model, we identified fourteen non-redundant metabolic gene modules, which constitute unique sources for specific nutrients. These genes were probably essential for pathogen growth and virulence. In general, this study provided quantitative transcriptomic signatures of the covS regulation in a hypervirulent S. pyogenes strain and addressed major aspects of the covS-modulated virulent mechanisms. Examination of expression profiling of covS- mutant strain and isogenic wild type covS+ at different growth stages.

Transcriptome comparison of M1T1 WT, AP and delta CovS strains

Project description:Group A streptococci (GAS) may engage different sets of virulence strategies, depending on the site of infection and host context. We previously isolated 2 phenotypic variants of a globally disseminated M1T1 GAS clone: a virulent wild-type (WT) strain, characterized by a SpeB(+)/SpeA(-)/Sda1(low) phenotype, and a hypervirulent animal-passaged (AP) strain, better adapted to survive in vivo, with a SpeB(-)/SpeA(+)/Sda1(high) phenotype. This AP strain arises in vivo due to the selection of bacteria with mutations in covS, the sensor part of a key 2-component regulatory system, CovR/S. To determine whether covS mutations explain the hypervirulence of the AP strain, we deleted covS from WT bacteria (DeltaCovS) and were able to simulate the hypervirulence and gene expression phenotype of naturally selected AP bacteria. Correction of the covS mutation in AP bacteria reverted them back to the WT phenotype. Our data confirm that covS plays a direct role in regulating GAS virulence.

Insert in CovS Gene Distinguishes a Pharyngeal and a Blood Isolate of Streptococcus pyogenes Found in the Same Individual.

Project description:Expression of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors by Streptococcus pyogenes are controlled by many regulators, of which covR/S is one of the best characterized and can influence ~15% of the genome. Animal models have established that mutants of CovR/S arise spontaneously in vivo resulting in highly invasive organisms. We analyzed a pharyngeal and a blood isolate of S. pyogenes recovered from the same individual 13 days apart. The two isolates varied in many phenotypic properties including speB production, which were reflected in transcriptome analyses. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, and partial sequencing of some key genes failed to show any differences except for an 11-base insert in the covS gene in the blood isolate. These results showing that pharyngeal and blood isolates from a single individual which differ by a simple insertion, provide evidence for the model that regulatory gene mutations allow S. pyogenes to invade different niches in the body. A chip study using total RNA recovered from two separate wild-type cultures of group A Streptococcus, Streptococcus pyogenes UH322 and UH328. Each chip measures the expression level of 1865 genes replicated twice from 7 fully sequenced strains of Streptococcus pyogenes (M1_GAS NC_002737; MGAS10394 NC_006086; MGAS315 NC_004070; MGAS5005 NC_007297; MGAS6180 NC_007296; MGAS8232 NC_003485; SSI-1 NC_004606 with fourteen 24-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

CovS Inactivation Reduces CovR Promoter Binding at Diverse Virulence Factor Encoding Genes in Group A Streptococcus

Project description:We performed CovR ChIP-seq analysis in the emm1 strain MGAS2221 and its CovS kinase deficient derivative strain 2221-CovS-E281A. We identified that CovR bound in the promoter regions of nearly all virulence factor encoding genes in the CovR regulon. Additionally, direct CovR binding was observed for numerous genes encoding proteins involved in amino acid metabolism, but we found limited direct CovR binding to genes encoding other transcriptional regulators. The consensus sequence AATRANAAAARVABTAAA was present in the promoters of genes directly regulated by CovR, and mutations of highly conserved positions within this motif relieved CovR repression of the hasA and M2221_0187 promoters. Analysis of strain 2221-CovS-E281A revealed that binding of CovR at repressed, but not activated, promoters is highly dependent on CovR~P state. CovR repressed virulence factor encoding genes could be grouped dependent on how variation in CovR~P differentially impacted DNA binding and gene transcript levels.

Exoproteomic analysis of two MLST clade 2 strains of Clostridioides difficile from Latin America

Project description:Clostridioides difficile BI/NAP1/ribotype 027 is an epidemic hypervirulent strain found worldwide, including in Latin America. We examined the genomes and exoproteomes of two multilocus sequence type (MLST) clade 2 C. difficile strains considered hypervirulent: ICC-45 (ribotype SLO231/UK[CE]821), isolated in Brazil, and NAP1/027/ST01 (LIBA5756), isolated during a 2010 outbreak in Costa Rica. C. difficile isolates were cultured and extracellular proteins were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Genomic analysis revealed that these isolates shared most of the gene composition. Only 83 and 290 NAP1/027 genes were considered singletons in ICC-45 and NAP1/027, respectively. Exoproteome analysis revealed 197 proteins, of which 192 were similar in both strains. Only five proteins were exclusive to the ICC-45 strain. These proteins were involved with catalytic and binding functions and indirectly interacted with proteins related to pathogenicity. Most proteins, including TcdA, TcdB, flagellin subunit, and cell surface protein, were overrepresented in the ICC-45 strain; 14 proteins, including mature S-layer protein, were present in higher proportions in LIBA5756. These data show close similarity between the genome and proteins in the supernatant of two strains with hypervirulent features isolated in Latin America and underscore the importance of epidemiological surveillance of the transmission and emergence of new strains.

Hyperphosphorylation of the Group A Streptococcal Control of Virulence Regulator Increases Promoter Occupancy Specifically at Virulence Factor Encoding Genes

Project description:The control of virulence two-component gene regulatory system (CovRS) is critical to the pathogenesis of many medically important streptococci. In emm1 group A streptococci (GAS), CovR directly binds the promoters of numerous GAS virulence factor encoding genes. Elimination of CovS phosphatase activity increases CovR phosphorylation (CovR~P) levels and abrogates GAS virulence. Given the emm type-specific diversity of CovRS function, herein we used ChIP-seq to define global CovR DNA occupancy in the wild-type emm3 strain MGAS10870 (medium CovR~P) and its CovS phosphatase-negative derivative 10870-CovS-T284A (high CovR~P). In the wild-type emm3 strain, 89% of the previously identified emm1 CovR binding sites present in the emm3 genome were also enriched; additionally, we ascertained unique CovR binding, primarily to genes in mobile genetic elements and other sites of inter-strain chromosomal differences. Elimination of phosphatase activity specifically increased CovR occupancy at the promoters of a broad array of CovR repressed virulence factor encoding genes, including those encoding the key GAS regulator Mga and M protein. However, a limited number of promoters had augmented enrichment at low CovR~P levels. Differential motif searches using sequences enriched at high vs. low CovR~P levels revealed two distinct binding patterns. At high CovR~P, a pseudo-palindromic AT-rich consensus sequence consistent with CovR binding as a dimer was determined. Conversely, sequences specifically enriched at low CovR~P contained isolated “ATTARA” motifs suggesting an interaction with a monomer. These data extend understanding of global CovR DNA occupancy beyond emm1 GAS and provide a mechanism for previous observations regarding hypovirulence induced by CovS phosphatase abrogation.
