Project description:Bacteria modify expression of different types of terminal oxidase in response to oxygen availability. Corynebacterium glutamicum, a facultative anaerobic bacterium in Actinobacteria, possesses aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase and cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidase, the latter of which is induced upon oxygen limitation. We report here that an extracytoplasmic function sigma factor, SigC, is unprecedentedly responsible for the regulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation in conjunction with microarray (ChIP-chip) analysis detected eight SigC-binding regions in the genome, leading to identification of a consensus promoter sequence for SigC recognition. The promoter sequences were found upstream of genes for cytochrome bd, heme a synthesis enzymes, and uncharacterized membrane proteins, all of which were upregulated by sigC overexpression. In contrast, that found on the antisense strand upstream of an operon encoding the cytochrome bc1 complex conferred a SigC-dependent negative effect on the operon expression. The SigC regulon was induced by cytochrome aa3 deficiency without modification of expression of sigC itself, but not by deficiency of the bc1 complex. These findings suggest that SigC is activated in response to impairment of electron transfer via cytochrome aa3, not directly to shift in oxygen levels. Our results provide a novel paradigm for transcriptional regulation of the aerobic respiratory system in bacteria.

Project description:We recently showed that the two-component system (TCS) HrrSA plays a central role in the control of heme homeostasis in the Gram-positive soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. Here, we characterized the function of another TCS of this organism, ChrSA, which exhibits significant sequence similarity to HrrSA, and provide evidence for cross-regulation of the two systems. In this study ChrSA was shown to be crucial for heme resistance of C. glutamicum by activation of the putative heme-detoxifying ABC-transporter HrtBA in the presence of heme. Deletion of either hrtBA or chrSA resulted in a strongly increased sensitivity towards heme. DNA microarray analysis and gel retardation assays with the purified response regulator ChrA provided evidence for ChrA being a repressor of the heme biosynthesis operon hemAC and hemH and an activator of the ctaE-qcrCAB operon, encoding subunits of the cytochrome bc1-aa3 supercomplex of the respiratory chain. The heme oxygenase gene, hmuO, showed a strongly decreased mRNA level in the M-NM-^TchrSA mutant, but no significant binding of ChrA was observed in vitro. Promoter fusion studies of PchrSA with eyfp indicated positive autoregulation of the chrSA operon in the presence of heme. Interestingly, ChrA was also shown to bind to the hrrA promoter and to repress transcription of the paralog response regulator, suggesting a close link between HrrSA and ChrSA. Mutational analysis and in silico prediction resulted in the deduction of a 16-bp weakly conserved inverted repeat as consensus DNA-binding motif of ChrA. Altogether, the present study emphasizes ChrSA as a second TCS, besides HrrSA, involved in heme-dependent gene regulation in C. glutamicum. To identify the influence of ChrSA on global gene expression , DNA microarray analyses were performed with the M-NM-^TchrSA mutant compared to C. glutamicum wild type. For this purpose RNA was isolated from exponentially growing cells cultivated in CgXII minimal medium with 4% glucose and either 2.5 M-BM-5M FeSO4 or 2.5 M-BM-5M hemin as iron source. Three biological replicates were performed.

Project description:The advent of M-bM-^@M-^XomicsM-bM-^@M-^Y techniques bear significant potential for the assessment of the microbiological stability of foods. This requires the integration of molecular data with their implication for cellular physiology. Here we performed a comparative physiological and transcriptional analysis of Bacillus subtilis stressed with three different weak organic acids: the commonly used food preservatives sorbic- and acetic- acid, plus the well-known uncoupler carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP). The concentration of each compound needed to cause a similar reduction of the growth rate negatively correlated with their membrane solubility, and positively with the concentration of undissociated acid. Intracellular acidification was demonstrated by expressing a pH-sensitive GFP derivative. The largest drop in intracellular pH was observed in CCCP-stressed cells and was accompanied by the transcriptional induction of the general stress response (GSR) and SigM regulon, responses known to be induced by acidification. The GSR was induced by acetate, but not by sorbate in mildly-stressed cells. Microarray analysis further revealed that all three acids activate transcriptional programs normally seen upon nutrient limitation and cause diverse responses indicative of an adaptation of the cell envelope. Based on the responses observed and the utilized pH measurements, the inhibitory effect of sorbic acid seems to be more focused on the cell membrane than that of acetic acid or CCCP. Time-series of B. subtilis response to 25 mM potassium acetate and 0.85 M-BM-5M CCCP during controlled growth in batch-fermentors in defined minimal medium (pH 6.4). Samples for microarrays were taken from both the treated and control cultures at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min after addition of acetate and CCCP. Two biologically independent experiments were performed.
