Influence of the Hfq and Crc global regulators on the control of iron homeostasis in Pseudomonas putida

ABSTRACT: Metabolically versatile bacteria use catabolite repression control to select their preferred carbon sources, thus optimizing carbon metabolism. In pseudomonads, this occurs through the combined action of the proteins Hfq and Crc, which form stable tripartite complexes at target mRNAs, inhibiting their translation. The activity of Hfq/Crc is antagonised by small RNAs of the CrcZ family, the amounts of which vary according to carbon availability. The present work examines the role of Pseudomonas putida Hfq protein under conditions of low-level catabolite repression, in which Crc protein would have a minor role since it is sequestered by CrcZ/CrcY. The results suggest that, under these conditions, Hfq remains operative and plays an important role in iron homeostasis. In this scenario, Crc appears to participate indirectly by helping CrcZ/CrcY to control the amount of free Hfq in the cell. Iron homeostasis in pseudomonads relies on regulatory elements such as the Fur protein, the PrrF1-2 sRNAs, and several extracytoplasmic sigma factors. Our results show that the absence of Hfq is paralleled by a reduction in PrrF1-2 small RNAs. Hfq thus provides a regulatory link between iron and carbon metabolism, coordinating the iron supply to meet the needs of the enzymes operational under particular nutritional regimes.

Novel targets of the CbrAB/Crc carbon catabolite control system revealed by transcript abundance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [BSM]

Project description:The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can utilize several carbon and nitrogen compounds as energy sources, which allows the bacterium to grow on a variety of different environments. Nevertheless, the uptake and utilization of these compounds is organized in a hierarchical manner, which is guaranteed by a mechanism named catabolite repression. In P. aeruginosa catabolite repression is a post-transcriptional process with the translational repressor protein, Crc, as the main component. Crc recognizes CA-motifs (acronym for catabolite activity) present in the vicinity of the ribosome binfing site of corresponding target mRNAs and therefore compete with ribosome binding. Certain conditions, which are mainly related to changes in the carbon to nitrogen ratio, induce the two component system CbrAB, which activates the transcription of the sRNA CrcZ. The sRNA sequesters Crc and allows the translation of the target mRNAs. The main focus of this study was to identify novel direct targets of the CbrAB/Crc system with the use of a transcriptome analysis in combination with the search for CA-motifs. We were able to identify five novel targets (estA, acsA, dctP, bkdR and aroP2), which were involved in the uptake and utilization of less preferred carbon sources and amino acids. Direct interaction of Crc with these genes and the resulting regulation by CbrB and CrcZ were verified using mutational analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments. Moreover, these targets were discussed in the light of growth and biofilm development in synthetic CF sputum medium which emphasised the importance of the CbrAB/Crc system as a regulator of chronic infection. keyword(s): genetic modification Comparative transcriptome analysis with the PAO1 wild type strain and PAO6673 (delta crc), PAO66711 (delta cbrB), PAO6679 (delta crcZ) strains grown in BSM-Succinate medium.

The Crc/CrcZ-CrcY global regulatory system helps integrating gluconeogenic and glycolytic metabolism in Pseudomonas putida

Project description:In metabolically versatile bacteria, carbon catabolite repression (CCR) facilitates the preferential assimilation of the most efficient carbon sources, improving growth rate and fitness. In Pseudomonas putida, the Crc protein and the CrcZ and CrcY small RNAs (sRNAs), which are believed to antagonise Crc, are key players in CCR. Contrary to what occurs in other bacterial species, succinate or glucose elicit a weak CCR in this bacterium. We combined metabolic, transcriptomics and constraints-based metabolic flux analyses to clarify whether P. putida prefers succinate or glucose, and the role of the Crc/CrcZ-CrcY regulatory system in their metabolization. Succinate was consumed faster than glucose and allowed a higher growth rate. However, both compounds were co-metabolised when provided simultaneously. The levels of CrcZ and CrcY were lower when both substrates were present than when only one of them was provided, suggesting a role for Crc in coordinating metabolism. Metabolic reconstructions suggested that, when both substrates are present, Crc works to organize a metabolism in which carbon compounds flow in two opposite directions: from glucose to pyruvate, and from succinate to pyruvate. Therefore, Crc serves not only to favour the assimilation of preferred compounds, but also to balance the carbon fluxes, optimising metabolism and growth.

Identifying candidate genes whose expression is regulated by CbrAB and NtrBC in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25

Project description:Histidine is a good source of nutrient for many bacteria, but its utilization poses a significant challenge as it delivers excess nitrogen over carbon. The rate of histidine catabolism (hut) must thus be tightly regulated. Here, in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, we show that the CbrAB two-component system directly activates the transcription of hut genes, while mediating succinate-induced carbon catabolite repression of hut at the translational level via the CbrAB-CrcYZ-Hfq/Crc regulatory cascade. When growing in minimal salt medium supplemented with histidine and succinate (the most preferred carbon source), the CbrAB-mediated promoter activity is weak; and the global nitrogen regulator NtrBC plays the dominant role in directly activating hut transcription.

Analysis of ΔcrcZ suppressor mutations

Project description:The ΔcrcZ mutant shows constitutive repression of all crc/Hfq target genes in the translation. Therefore, it presents a hyper‐repressed phenotype (more repressed than the parental strain) in the acquisition of secondary carbon sources, even though the preferred carbon source is not present. Δcrc is more sensitive to antibiotics, more susceptible to oxidative stress, and less motile than the parental strain. The ΔcrcZ strain is more motile and more resistant to antibiotics than the parental strain. However, it presents a susceptibility profile to oxidative stress that is very similar to that of the parental strain. When the ΔcrcZ mutant is seeded on minimal medium with a secondary carbon source it grows poorly. However, the appearance of colonies that grow similarly to the parental strain is observed. These colonies are formed from mutants derived_expression.tsv from the ΔcrcZ strain that are "revertants" of this repression phenotype in the assimilation of the secondary carbon source, and generally "pseudorevertants" of the ΔcrcZ mutation, or present a "mutation "suppressor" of the crcZ deletion. 4 mutant clones resistant to FAA (FAA resistant, present catabolic repression) and sensitive clones (FAA sensible, do not present catabolic repression) were analyzed.

Genome-wide mapping of the RNA targets of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa riboregulatory protein RsmN

Project description:Pseudomonads typically carry multiple non-identical alleles of the post-transcriptional regulator rsmA. In P. aeruginosa, RsmN is notable in that its structural rearrangement confers distinct and overlapping functions with RsmA. However, little is known about the specificities RsmN for its target RNAs and overall impact on the biology of this pathogen. We purified and mapped 503 transcripts directly bound by RsmN in P. aeruginosa. About 200 of the mRNAs identified encode proteins of demonstrated function including some determining acute and chronic virulence traits. For example, RsmN reduces biofilm development both directly and indirectly via multiple pathways, involving control of Pel exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and c-di-GMP levels. The RsmN targets identified are also shared with RsmA, although deletion of rsmN generally results in less pronounced phenotypes than those observed for rsmA or rsmAN mutants, probably as a consequence of different binding affinities. New targets for the Rsm system, previously masked by the presence of RsmN were identified. These include the small non-coding RNA CrcZ involved in carbon catabolite repression, for which differential binding of the two proteins to specific CrcZ target sequences is demonstrated. The results presented here provide new insights into the intricacy of riboregulatory networks involving multiple but distinct RsmA homologues.

The glycolytic and gluconeogenic transcriptome of Pseudomonas putida KT2440

Project description:Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a metabolically versatile soil bacterium useful both as a model biodegradative organism and as a host of catalytic activities of biotechnological interest. In this report, we present the high-resolution transcriptome of P. putida grown in different carbon sources as revealed by deep sequencing of the corresponding RNA pools. Examination of the data from growth on glycolytic (glucose, fructose) and gluconeogenic (succinate or glycerol) substrates revealed that > 20% of the P. putida genome is differentially expressed depending on the ensuing metabolic regime. Changes affected not only metabolic genes but also a suite of global regulators, e.g. the rpoS sigma subunit of RNAP, various cold-shock proteins and the three HU histone-like proteins. Specifically, the genes encoding HU subunit variants hupA, hupB and hupN drastically altered their expression levels (and thus their ability to form heterodimeric combinations) under the different growth conditions. Furthermore, we found that the two small RNAs crcZ and crcY, known to inhibit the Crc protein that mediates catabolite repression in P. putida, were both down-regulated by glucose. cDNA libraries from Pseudomonas supplemented with different carbon sources (glucose, glycerol, fructose, succinate) were sequenced using HiSeq 2000 to yield 91 paired-end reads. Gene expression values were compared.
