CovS Inactivation Reduces CovR Promoter Binding at Diverse Virulence Factor Encoding Genes in Group A Streptococcus

ABSTRACT: We performed CovR ChIP-seq analysis in the emm1 strain MGAS2221 and its CovS kinase deficient derivative strain 2221-CovS-E281A. We identified that CovR bound in the promoter regions of nearly all virulence factor encoding genes in the CovR regulon. Additionally, direct CovR binding was observed for numerous genes encoding proteins involved in amino acid metabolism, but we found limited direct CovR binding to genes encoding other transcriptional regulators. The consensus sequence AATRANAAAARVABTAAA was present in the promoters of genes directly regulated by CovR, and mutations of highly conserved positions within this motif relieved CovR repression of the hasA and M2221_0187 promoters. Analysis of strain 2221-CovS-E281A revealed that binding of CovR at repressed, but not activated, promoters is highly dependent on CovR~P state. CovR repressed virulence factor encoding genes could be grouped dependent on how variation in CovR~P differentially impacted DNA binding and gene transcript levels.

Hyperphosphorylation of the Group A Streptococcal Control of Virulence Regulator Increases Promoter Occupancy Specifically at Virulence Factor Encoding Genes

Project description:The control of virulence two-component gene regulatory system (CovRS) is critical to the pathogenesis of many medically important streptococci. In emm1 group A streptococci (GAS), CovR directly binds the promoters of numerous GAS virulence factor encoding genes. Elimination of CovS phosphatase activity increases CovR phosphorylation (CovR~P) levels and abrogates GAS virulence. Given the emm type-specific diversity of CovRS function, herein we used ChIP-seq to define global CovR DNA occupancy in the wild-type emm3 strain MGAS10870 (medium CovR~P) and its CovS phosphatase-negative derivative 10870-CovS-T284A (high CovR~P). In the wild-type emm3 strain, 89% of the previously identified emm1 CovR binding sites present in the emm3 genome were also enriched; additionally, we ascertained unique CovR binding, primarily to genes in mobile genetic elements and other sites of inter-strain chromosomal differences. Elimination of phosphatase activity specifically increased CovR occupancy at the promoters of a broad array of CovR repressed virulence factor encoding genes, including those encoding the key GAS regulator Mga and M protein. However, a limited number of promoters had augmented enrichment at low CovR~P levels. Differential motif searches using sequences enriched at high vs. low CovR~P levels revealed two distinct binding patterns. At high CovR~P, a pseudo-palindromic AT-rich consensus sequence consistent with CovR binding as a dimer was determined. Conversely, sequences specifically enriched at low CovR~P contained isolated “ATTARA” motifs suggesting an interaction with a monomer. These data extend understanding of global CovR DNA occupancy beyond emm1 GAS and provide a mechanism for previous observations regarding hypovirulence induced by CovS phosphatase abrogation.

Transcriptome comparison of M1T1 WT, AP and delta CovS strains

Project description:Group A streptococci (GAS) may engage different sets of virulence strategies, depending on the site of infection and host context. We previously isolated 2 phenotypic variants of a globally disseminated M1T1 GAS clone: a virulent wild-type (WT) strain, characterized by a SpeB(+)/SpeA(-)/Sda1(low) phenotype, and a hypervirulent animal-passaged (AP) strain, better adapted to survive in vivo, with a SpeB(-)/SpeA(+)/Sda1(high) phenotype. This AP strain arises in vivo due to the selection of bacteria with mutations in covS, the sensor part of a key 2-component regulatory system, CovR/S. To determine whether covS mutations explain the hypervirulence of the AP strain, we deleted covS from WT bacteria (DeltaCovS) and were able to simulate the hypervirulence and gene expression phenotype of naturally selected AP bacteria. Correction of the covS mutation in AP bacteria reverted them back to the WT phenotype. Our data confirm that covS plays a direct role in regulating GAS virulence.

Evaluation of covS polymorphisms on group A streptococcal global gene expression

Project description:We sought to determine how single amino acid changes in the active site of CovS autophosphorylation and subsequent phosphorylation of the response regulator CovR affect the gene expression profile of group A streptococcus There were 6 strains analyzed, each in quadruplicate replicates: 1) wild-type GAS; 2) covS deletion strain; 3) covS with alanine at AA 280; 4) covS with valine at AA 281; 5) covS with valine at AA 284; 6) covS with alanine at AA 457

Transcriptome study of the covS-regulation of a Group A Streptococcus pyogenes M23ND

Project description:We investigated the covS-regulation of S. pyogenes in a hypervirulent M23 strain using RNA-sequencing. The differential gene expression comparison between the covS- mutant and isogenic wild type covS+ identified altered expression of 349 (18%) genes, including a broad spectrum of virulence genes and diverse metabolic genes. The data showed that the strain achieved hypervirulence by enhancing the expression of genes responsible for invasiveness and antiphagocytosis (i.e., hasABC), by abrogating the expression of toxic genes (i.e., speB), and by compromising gene products with dispensable functions (i.e., sfb1). Meanwhile, we found that covS also regulated diverse kinds of metabolic genes that maximized nutrient utilization and energy metabolism during growth and dissemination. From constructing a genome-scale metabolic model, we identified fourteen non-redundant metabolic gene modules, which constitute unique sources for specific nutrients. These genes were probably essential for pathogen growth and virulence. In general, this study provided quantitative transcriptomic signatures of the covS regulation in a hypervirulent S. pyogenes strain and addressed major aspects of the covS-modulated virulent mechanisms.

Transcriptomes of covR/S mutant strains of S. pyogenes

Project description:Two covR mutant derivatives of parental strain MGAS2221 were recovered from mice experimentally infected with MGAS2221 and shown to differ in terms of the number and concentration of secreted proteins. One of the covR mutant strains had a secretion phenotype identical to a covS mutant strain, while the other had a secretion phenotype identical to a constructed covR mutant strain. To further investigate the potential differences between the two covR mutant strains we performed expression microarray analysis.

Insert in CovS Gene Distinguishes a Pharyngeal and a Blood Isolate of Streptococcus pyogenes Found in the Same Individual.

Project description:Expression of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors by Streptococcus pyogenes are controlled by many regulators, of which covR/S is one of the best characterized and can influence ~15% of the genome. Animal models have established that mutants of CovR/S arise spontaneously in vivo resulting in highly invasive organisms. We analyzed a pharyngeal and a blood isolate of S. pyogenes recovered from the same individual 13 days apart. The two isolates varied in many phenotypic properties including speB production, which were reflected in transcriptome analyses. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing, and partial sequencing of some key genes failed to show any differences except for an 11-base insert in the covS gene in the blood isolate. These results showing that pharyngeal and blood isolates from a single individual which differ by a simple insertion, provide evidence for the model that regulatory gene mutations allow S. pyogenes to invade different niches in the body.
