RNASeq libraries of quorum-sensing induced and wild-type M. ciceri bv. biserrulae WSM1271

ABSTRACT: M. ciceri WSM1271 carries a novel integrative and conjugative element (ICE) termed a tripartite ICE (ICE3) that exists as thee separated DNA regions in the chromosome. Three site-specific recombinases acting on three distinct pairs of attachment sites catalyse recombination between the three ICE3 DNA regions leading to their excision from the chromosome to form a single plasmid-like entity for horizontal conjugative transfer. RNASeq was used to probe for differentially expressed ICE3-encoded genes in WSM1271 wild-type cells, and engineered WSM1271 cells carrying cloned copies of two quorum-sensing loci that induce ICE3 excision and transfer. Overall, 187 significantly differentially expressed genes (adjusted P-value < 0.05) were identified and although ICEMcSym1271 comprised only ~7.6% of the chromosome, 15.5% (29) of the differentially expressed genes were located on ICEMcSym1271. Genes likely involved in activation of excision and conjugation including rdfS, rlxS, msi172-msi171 and the type-IV conjugative pilus gene cluster msi031-trbBCDEJLFGI-msi021 were all significantly induced. The RNA-Seq libraries generated in this study have strongly aided the development of our model detailing the regulation of excision and transfer of ICE3s.

Autonomous plasmid-like replication of a conjugative transposon

Project description:Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs), a.k.a., conjugative transposons, are mobile genetic elements involved in many biological processes, including the spread of antibiotic resistance. Unlike conjugative plasmids that are extra-chromosomal and replicate autonomously, ICEs are integrated in the chromosome and replicate passively during chromosomal replication. It is generally thought that ICEs do not replicate autonomously. We found that when induced, Bacillus subtilis ICEBs1 replicates as a plasmid. The ICEBs1 origin of transfer (oriT) served as the origin of replication and the conjugal DNA relaxase served as the replication initiation protein. Autonomous replication of ICEBs1 conferred genetic stability to the excised element, but was not required for mating. The B. subtilis helicase PcrA that mediates unwinding and replication of Gram-positive rolling circle replicating plasmids was required for ICEBs1 replication and mating. Nicking of oriT by the relaxase and unwinding by PcrA likely directs transfer of a single-strand of ICEBs1 into recipient cells. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Prevalence of multi-resistant plasmids in hospital inhalable particulate matter (PM) and its impact on horizontal gene transfer

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is exacerbated by the exchange of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) between microbes from diverse habitats. Plasmids are important ARGs mobile elements and are spread by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). In this study, we demonstrated the presence of multi-resistant plasmids from inhalable particulate matter (PM) and its effect on gene horizontal transfer. Three transferable multi-resistant plasmids were identified from PM in a hospital, using conjugative mating assays and nanopore sequencing. pTAir-3 contained 26 horizontal transfer elements and 10 ARGs. Importantly pTAir-5 harbored carbapenem resistance gene (blaOXA) which shows homology to plasmids from human and pig commensal bacteria, thus indicating that PM is a media for antibiotic resistant plasmid spread. In addition, 125 μg/mL PM2.5 and PM10 significantly increased the conjugative transfer rate by 110% and 30%, respectively, and augmented reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Underlying mechanisms were revealed by identifying the upregulated expressional levels of genes related to ROS, SOS, cell membranes, pilus generation, and transposition via genome-wide RNA sequencing. The study highlights the airborne spread of multi-resistant plasmids and the impact of inhalable PM on the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance.

rctR

Project description:RctR encodes a protein belonging to the GntR family of transcriptional regulators and is involved in regulation of conjugative transfer of symbiotic plasmids of Sinorhizobium meliloti. In order to identify genes differentially expressed in a 1021RctR mutant, the transcriptome of S. meliloti 1021RctR was compared with that of the wild-type 1021, using Sm6kOligo DNA microarrays. Cells of 1021 and 1021RctR were grown at 30C in TY broth to mid logarothmic phase (OD600nm)=0.7-0.8 before RNA isolation.

RcgA and RcgR, two novel proteins involved in conjugative transfer of rhizobial plasmids

Project description:Rhizobia are gram-negative bacteria able to establish a symbiotic interaction with leguminous plants. Due to their nitrogen fixing capacity, the study of these microorganisms has acquired great relevance for the agriculture. Rhizobia usually harbor many plasmids in their genome which can be transferred to other organisms by conjugation. Two main mechanisms of regulation of rhizobial plasmid transfer have been described: Quorum sensing (QS) and rctA/rctB system. Nevertheless, new genes and molecules that modulate conjugative transfer have been recently described, demonstrating that new actors can tightly regulate the process. In this work, by means of bioinformatics tools and molecular biology approaches, two hypothetical genes are identified as playing key roles in conjugative transfer. These genes are located between conjugative genes of plasmid pLPU83a from Rhizobium favelukesii LPU83, a plasmid that showed a conjugative transfer behavior depending on the genomic background. One of the two mentioned genes, rcgA, is essential for conjugation, while the other, rcgR, acts as an inhibitor of the process. In addition to introducing this new regulatory mechanism, we show evidence of the functions of these genes in different genomic backgrounds, and confirmed that homologous proteins from non-closely related organisms play the same function. These findings set up a cornerstone for a new molecular circuit of conjugative transfer of plasmids.
