RNA-seq for AnvM

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common pathogens in hospital-acquired infection, which is tightly controlled by a multi-layered regulatory network including quorum sensing system (QS), type VI secretion system (T6SS) and resistance to host immunity. In the present study, we found that a PA3880 gene, which encodes an unknown protein, acted as a regulator of anaerobic metabolism, response to oxidative stress and virulence in P. aeruginosa. More than thirty PA3880 homologs were found in other bacterial genomes, indicating that PA3880 was widely distributed in bacterial kingdom with a conserved function. Deletion of PA3880 gene changed expression of more than seven hundred genes, including a group of virulence genes under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. To further study the mechanisms of PA3880-mediated regulation on virulence, we utilized bacterial two-hybrid assay and found that PA3880 protein directly interacted with QS regulator MvfR and anaerobic regulator Anr. Loss of PA3880 protein significantly blunted the pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa, resulting in increased survival, decreased bacterial burdens, muffled inflammatory response, and less lung injuries in mice. Mechanistically, we identified that Cys44 was a critical site for full function of PA3880 to influence alveolar macrophage phagocytosis and bacterial clearance. We also found that AnvM directly interacted with host receptors TLR2 and TLR5, which might lead to activation of host immune response. Hence, we named PA3880 as anvM (anaerobic and virulence modulator). The present characterization of anvM will help to uncover new targets and strategies to treat P. aeruginosa infections.

RNA-seq for MvfR, RhlR and QscR

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen of humans, most notably those with cystic fibrosis or whose immune systems are compromised. As a global regulator, MvfR,RhlR and QscR have been characterized to control a group of virulence-related factors and quorum sensing (QS) genes in P. aeruginosa, but its detailed molecular regulatory mechanism is largely elusive. To further gain insights into the direct targets of MvfR,RhlR and QscR in viv, this study focused on identifying the potential targets of MvfR,RhlR and QscR directly regulating QS system and other vireulence pathways. We performed a chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) assay that identified 221, 30 and 1 binding sites of MvfR,RhlR and QscR. The direct regulation of these genes by MvfR,RhlR and QscR have been biochemically and genetically verified. The results indicated that MvfR,RhlR and QscR had direct and profound effects on QS, which provides new cues to better understand the detailed regulatory networks of virulence.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, mvfR and anthranilic acid analogs

Project description:The Pseudomonas aeruginosa MvfR-dependent QS regulatory pathway controls the expression of key virulence genes; and is activated via the extracellular signals 4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline (HHQ) and 3,4-dihydroxy-2-heptylquinoline (PQS), whose syntheses depend on anthranilic acid (AA), the primary precursor of 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines (HAQs). We identified halogenated AA analogs that specifically inhibited HAQ biosynthesis and disrupted MvfR-dependent gene expression. These compounds restricted P. aeruginosa systemic dissemination and mortality in mice, without perturbing bacterial viability, and inhibited osmoprotection, a widespread bacterial function.

ChIP-seq analyses of 10 quorum sensing regulators in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:The Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing (QS) systems contribute to bacterial homeostasis and pathogenicity. Although many regulators have been characterized to control the production of virulence factors and QS signaling molecules, its detailed regulatory mechanisms still remain elusive. Here, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) on 10 key QS regulators. The direct regulation of these genes by corresponding regulator has been confirmed by Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCR). Binding motifs are found by using MEME suite and verified by footprint assays in vitro. Collectively, this work provides new cues to better understand the detailed regulatory networks of QS systems.

The phage-encoded protein PIT2 impacts bacterial quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by direct interaction with LasR

Project description:Quorum sensing (QS) is the cell density-dependent virulence factor regulator in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we elucidate PIT2, a phage-encoded inhibitor of the QS regulator LasR, derived from the lytic Pseudomonas phage LMA2. PIT2 inhibits the effectors PrpL and LasA of the type 2 secretion system of P. aeruginosa and attenuates bacterial virulence towards HeLa cells and in Galleria mellonella. Using RNAseq-based differential gene expression analysis, the effect of PIT2 on the LasR regulatory network was revealed. Moreover, the specific interaction between LasR and PIT2 was determined. These data expand our knowledge on phage-encoded modulators of the bacterial metabolism, as this examples an anti-virulence protein derived from a lytic phage. From an applied perspective, this phage protein reveals and exploits an interesting anti-virulence target in P. aeruginosa. As such, it lays the foundation for a new phage-inspired anti-virulence strategy to combat multidrug resistant pathogens and opens the door for SynBio applications.

Molecular Mechanisms of Master Regulator VqsM mediating Quorum-sensing and Antibiotic Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:The Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing (QS) systems contribute to bacterial homeostasis and pathogenicity. Although the AraC family transcription factor VqsM has been characterized to control the production of virulence factors and QS signaling molecules, its detailed regulatory mechanisms still remain elusive. Here, we report that VqsM directly binds to the lasI promoter region, and thus regulates its expression. To identify additional targets of VqsM in P. aeruginosa PAO1, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) which detected 48 enriched loci harboring VqsM-binding peaks in P. aeruginosa genome. The direct regulation of these genes by VqsM has been confirmed by Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCR). A VqsM-binding motif is found by using MEME suite and verified by footprint assays in vitro. In addition, VqsM directly binds to the promoter regions of antibiotic resistance regulator NfxB and the master type III system regulator ExsA. Notably, the vqsM mutant displayed more resistance to two types of antibiotics and promoted bacterial survival in a mouse model, compared to the wild type PAO1 strain. Collectively, this work provides new cues to better understand the detailed regulatory networks of QS systems, T3SS, and antibiotic resistance.

Novel virulence factors in host-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of the Cystic Fibrosis airways

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa airway infection is the primary cause of death in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). During early infection P. aeruginosa produces multiple virulence factors, which cause acute pulmonary disease and are largely regulated by quorum sensing (QS) intercellular signalling networks. Longitudinal clinical studies have observed the loss, through adaptive mutation, of QS and QS-related virulence in late chronic infection. Although the mechanisms are not understood, infection with QS mutants has been linked to a worse outcome for CF patients. By comparing QS-active and QS-inactive P. aeruginosa CF isolates, we have identified novel virulence factors and pathways associated with QS disruption. In particular, we noted factors implicating increased intra-phagocyte survival. Our data present novel targets as candidates for future CF therapies. Some of these targets are already the subject of drug development programmes for the treatment of other bacterial pathogens and may provide cross-over benefit to the CF population. Refer to individual Series. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE25128: Gene expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis lung infections GSE25129: Comparative genomic hybridisation data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis lung infections

Genetic and transcriptomic characteristics of RhlR-dependent quorum sensing in cystic fibrosis isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: isolate E113

Project description:In people with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF), bacterial infections involving the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. P. aeruginosa uses a cell-cell signaling mechanism called quorum sensing (QS) to regulate many virulence functions. One type of QS consists of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals produced by LuxI-type signal synthases, which bind a cognate LuxR-type transcription factor. In laboratory strains and conditions, P. aeruginosa employs two AHL synthase/receptor pairs arranged in a hierarchy, with the LasI/R system controlling the RhlI/R system and many downstream virulence factors. However, P. aeruginosa isolates with inactivating mutations in lasR are frequently isolated from chronic CF infections. We and others have shown that these isolates frequently use RhlR as the primary QS regulator. RhlR is rarely mutated in CF and environmental settings. We were interested if there were reproducible genetic characteristics of these isolates and if there was a central group of genes regulated by RhlR in all isolates. We examined five isolates and found signatures of adaptation common to CF isolates. Here, we analyzed CF clinial isolate E113. In this strain, RhlR positively regulates 186 genes, including those coding for known virulence factors. These results suggest a key group of QS-regulated factors important for pathogenesis of chronic infection, and position RhlR as a target for anti-QS therapeutics. Our work underscores the need to sample a diversity of isolates to understanding QS beyond what has been described in laboratory strains.
