The Lysine Acetylation Modification in the Porin Aha1 of Aeromonas hydrophila Regulates the Uptake of Multidrug Antibiotics.

ABSTRACT: Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) modification plays important roles in diverse physiological functions. However, there is little evidence on the role of Kac modification in bacterial antibiotic resistance. Here, we compared the differential expressions of whole-cell proteins and Kac peptides in oxytetracycline sensitive and oxytetracycline resistance (OXY^R) strains of Aeromonas hydrophila using quantitative proteomics technologies. We observed a porin family protein Aha1 downregulated in the OXY^R strain, which may have an important role in the OXY resistance. Interestingly, seven of eight Kac peptides of Aha1 decreased abundance in OXY^R as well. Microbiologic assays showed that the K57R, K187R, and K197R Aha1 mutants significantly increased antibiotic resistance to OXY and reduced the intracellular OXY accumulation in OXY stress. Moreover, these Aha1 mutants displayed multidrug resistance features to tetracyclines and β-lactam antibiotics. The 3D model prediction showed that the Kac states of K57, K187, and K197 sites located at the extracellular pore vestibule of Aha1 may be involved in the uptake of specific types of antibiotics. Overall, our results indicate a novel antibiotic resistance mechanism mediated by Kac modification, which may provide a clue for the development of antibiotic therapy strategies.

Project description:The cytotoxic enterotoxin Act from a diarrheal isolate, SSU, of Aeromonas hydrophila is aerolysin related and crucial to the pathogenesis of Aeromonas infections. To elucidate the role of environmental signals which influence the expression of the cytotoxic enterotoxin gene (act), a portion of the act gene, including the putative promoter region, was fused in frame to a truncated alkaline phosphatase gene (phoA) of Escherichia coli. The act::phoA reporter gene was then introduced into the chromosome of A. hydrophila by using the suicide vector pJQ200SK, allowing the fusion protein to be secreted out into the culture medium. Western blot analysis demonstrated the presence of a correctly size 110-kDa fusion protein in the culture supernatant, which reacted with both anti-Act and anti-alkaline phosphatase antibodies. Based on alkaline phosphatase (PhoA) activity in the culture supernatant, we demonstrated that calcium significantly increased the activity of the act promoter but that glucose and iron repressed its activity in a dose-dependent fashion. The act promoter exhibited optimal activity at pH 7.0 and at 37 degrees C, and maximal PhoA activity was noted when the culture was aerated. Using a Vibrio cholerae iron uptake regulator gene (fur) as a probe, a 2.6-kb SalI/HindIII DNA fragment from an A. hydrophila chromosome was cloned and sequenced. The DNA sequence revealed a 429-bp open reading frame that exhibited 69% homology at the DNA level with the fur gene and 79% homology at the amino acid level with the iron uptake regulator (Fur) protein of V. cholerae. Complementation experiments demonstrated that the A. hydrophila fur gene could restore iron regulation in an E. coli fur-minus mutant. Using the suicide vector pDMS197, we generated a fur isogenic mutant of wild-type A. hydrophila SSU. Northern blot analysis data indicated that the repression in the transcription of the act gene by iron was relieved in the fur isogenic mutant. Further, iron regulation in the fur isogenic mutant of A. hydrophila could be restored by complementation. These results are important in understanding the regulation of the act gene under in vivo conditions.
