The Pleiotropic Effects of c-di-GMP content in Pseudomonas syringae

ABSTRACT: Although the ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays important roles in various cellular functions including the formation of biofilm in a wide range of bacteria, its function in model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is largely elusive. In order to test this in P. syringae, we overexpressed a diguanylate cyclase (YedQ) and a phosphodiesterase (YhjH) that are originally from Escherichia coli, resulting in high and low c-di-GMP levels in P. syringae, respectively. Through performing genome-wide RNA sequencing of these two strains, we found that c-di-GMP regulates (i) fliN, fliE and flhA genes, which are associated with flagellar assembly, (ii) alg8 and alg44, which are related to exopolysaccaride biosynthesis pathway, (iii) pvdE, pvdP and pvsA genes, related to siderophore biosynthesis pathway, and (iv) sodA, which is a superoxide dismutase. In particular, we identified five genes sensitive to elevated c-di-GMP level and constructed five luciferase-based reporters that effectively respond to intracellular level of c-di-GMP in P. syringae, which can be used to measure c-di-GMP levels in vivo in the future. Based on the RNA-seq results, phenotypic assays confirmed that c-di-GMP regulated many important biological pathways in P. syringae, such as negative regulation of type III secretion system (T3SS) and motility as well as positive regulation of EPS production, siderophore production and oxidative stress resistance. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that c-di-GMP is closely related to virulence and stress response in P. syringae, suggesting that tuning its level can be a new strategy to protect plants from the attack of this pathogen in the future.

Use of transcriptome data to study the c-di-GMP signaling network in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates

Project description:In the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type strain PA14, 40 genes are known to encode for diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and/or phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which modulate the intracellular pool of the nucleotide second messenger c-di-GMP. While in general, high levels of c-di-GMP drive the switch from highly motile phenotypes towards a sessile lifestyle, the different c-di-GMP modulating enzymes are responsible for smaller and in parts non-overlapping phenotypes. In this study, we sought to utilize previously recorded P. aeruginosa gene expression datasets on 414 clinical isolates to uncover transcriptional changes as a result of a high expression of genes encoding diguanylate cyclases. We demonstrate that the selection of sub-groups of clinical isolates with high versus low expression of regulatory genes served the identification of their downstream regulons. Thus, analyzing transcriptional profiles of clinical isolates with variant expression of diguanylate cyclase genes might provide a unique opportunity to bypass the problem that for many c-di-GMP modulating enzymes it is not known under which conditions their expression is activated. However, because the high c-di-GMP associated phenotypes were rapidly lost in the clinical isolates, we were unable to confirm diguanylate specific gene regulation. It is possible that the elevated c-di-GMP concentrations observed in the clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were due to a memory response, in which the bacteria maintain a certain level of c-di-GMP even after being removed from the conditions that induced the production of c-di-GMP. Further studies would be needed to determine the specific mechanisms underlying this memory response in P. aeruginosa.

High intracellular c-di-GMP levels antagonize quorum sensing and virulence gene expression in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111

Project description:In this study, we have analysed the transcriptional profile of B. cenocepacia H111 upon artificially altering the global cellular c-di-GMP levels. A total of 111 genes was found to be differentially expressed, of which 96 genes were down-regulated when c-di-GMP concentrations were increased. The BDSF, AHL and c-di-GMP regulons overlap for the regulation of 24 genes. Intriguingly, at a high intracellular c-di-GMP level expression of the AHL synthase cepI was found to be more than 10-fold down-regulated. Among the exclusively c-di-GMP regulated genes were genes of the phenylacetate catabolic pathway and of the type III secretion system.

Protein Deacetylase CobB Interplays with c-di-GMP

Project description:As a ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger, c-di-GMP plays key regulatory roles in processes like bacterial motility and transcription regulation. We found that c-di-GMP had impact on lysine acetylation level. To further investigate the regulation role, we performed a quantitative analysis of E. coli acetylome. In addition, we found that CobB is an effective deacetylase of YdeH, a major diguanylate cyclase (DGC) of E.coli that is endogenously acetylated. Mass spectrometry analysis identified YdeH K4 as the major site of acetylation, and it could be deacetylated by CobB.

Discovery of the genes controlled by the second messenger cyclic di-GMP in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates many biological processes in bacteria. The genome in Mycobacterium tuberculosis encodes a single copy of the diguanylate cyclase gene (dgc) responsible for c-di-GMP synthesis. To determine the role of c-di-GMP signaling in M. tuberculosis, the mutant strain of Δdgc was generated in the virulent H37Rv strain. We used whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the genes controlled by c-di-GMP in M. tuberculosis, providing molecular proof for the phenotypes modulated by the signaling. Wild-type H37Rv and Δdgc cultures were analyzed under aerobic conditions or in an in vitro dormancy model. Bacteria were collected at OD600 =1.3 for the aerobic cultures and upon the beginning of anaerobiosis for the cultures in the dormancy model. One culture for each experiment was assayed except for Δdgc under anaerobiosis (2 independent cultures).

SvenBldDChIPSeq

Project description:To examine the effects of cyclic-di-GMP on DNA binding by BldD in vivo, we manipulated the levels of c-di-GMP in Streptomyces venezuelae and monitored the effect on BldD binding to its target promoters in vivo by ChIP-seq, using a polyclonal BldD antibody. The degree of BldD binding was assayed at a single time point in wild-type (wt) S. venezuelae and the wt overexpressing either the diguanylate cyclase CdgB or the phosphodiesterase YhjH. A bldD null mutant was used a negative control.

Phenotypic and integrated analysis of a comprehensive Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 library of mutants lacking cyclic-di-GMP-related genes

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium able to survive and adapt in a multitude of niches as well as thriving within many different hosts. This versatility lies within a large genome of ca 6Mbp and a tight control in the expression of thousands of genes. Among the regulatory mechanisms widely spread in bacteria, cyclic-di-GMP signaling is one which influences all levels of control. It is made by diguanylate cyclases and broken by phosphodiesterases while the intracellular level of this molecule drives phenotypic responses. The signaling involve modification of enzymes or proteins function upon c-di-GMP binding, including modifying the activity of regulators which in turn will impact the transcriptome. In P. aeruginosa, there are ca 40 genes encoding putative DGC or PDE. The combined activity of those enzymes should reflect the c-di-GMP concentration while specific phenotypic output could be correlated to a given set of dgc/pde. This notion of specificity has been addressed in several studies and different strains of P. aeruginosa. Here, we engineered a mutant library for the 41 individual dgc/pde genes in P. aeruginosa PAO1. In most cases, we observed a significant to slight variation in the global c-di-GMP pool, with essentially an impact on biofilm phenotypes including initial attachment and maturation, while very little is observed on motility which differs from previous studies. We observe that minor changes in c-di-GMP level have a drastic phenotypic impact thus supporting the idea of local vs global c-di-GMP pool. Our RNA-seq analysis indicates that all PAO1 dgc/pde genes are expressed in both planktonic and biofilm growth conditions and our work suggests that c-di-GMP networks owe to be reconstructed in one single strain and cannot be built by cross-comparison with studies in other strains.

A deterministic, c-di-GMP-dependent genetic program ensures the generation of phenotypically similar, symmetric daughter cells during cytokinesis

Project description:Phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria results from stochastic processes or deterministic genetic programs. These deterministic programs often incorporate the versatile second messenger c-di-GMP, and by deploying c-di-GMP metabolizing enzyme(s) asymmetrically during cell division give rise to daughter cells with different c-di-GMP levels. Here, we identify a deterministic c-di-GMP-dependent genetic program that is hardwired into the cell cycle of Myxococcus xanthus to minimize cellular heterogeneity and guarantee the formation of phenotypically similar daughter cells during division. Cells lacking the diguanylate cyclase DmxA have an aberrant motility behaviour. DmxA is recruited to the cell division site and its activity switched on during cytokinesis, resulting in a dramatic but transient increase in the c-di-GMP concentration. During cytokinesis, this c-di-GMP burst ensures the symmetric incorporation and allocation of structural motility proteins and motility regulators at the new cell poles of the two daughters, thereby generating mirror-symmetric, phenotypically similar daughters with correct motility behaviours. These findings suggest a general c-di-GMP-dependent mechanism for minimizing cellular heterogeneity, and demonstrate that bacteria by deploying c-di-GMP metabolizing enzymes to distinct subcellular locations ensure the formation of dissimilar or similar daughter cells.

B31 vs rrp1 mutant

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of gene expression between parental strain B31 and rrp1 mutant. Cyclic-di-GMP is a bacterial second messenger that modulates many biological processes. Although its role in bacterial pathogenesis during mammalian infection has been widely recognized, the role of c-di-GMP in pathogen's life cycle in vector hosts is less understood. The enzootic cycle of the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi involves both a mammalian host and an Ixodes tick vector. The B. burgdorferi genome encodes a single copy of the diguanylate cyclase gene (rrp1), which is responsible for the production of c-di-GMP. To determine the role of c-di-GMP in the life cycle of B. burgdorferi, an Rrp1-deficient B. burgdorferi strain was generated. The rrp1 mutant remains infectious in the mammalian host, but could not survive in the tick vector. To identify the mechanisms of Rrp1 contributing to B. burgdorferi pathogenesis and gene regulation, microarray was employed to compare gene expression profiles between the parental strain B31 and the rrp1 mutant. Two-condition experiment, B31 vs. rrp1 mutant. Biological replicates: 3 B31, 3 rrp1 mutant, independently grown and harvested. One replicate (dye-swap) per array.
