Alteration of global transcription by the phytochemical Kaempferol in Acinetobacter baumannii AB5075

ABSTRACT: We perform RNA-seq comparing a treatment with 0.375 mM Kaempferol to a mock treatment (DMSO) in A. baumannii AB5075 in order to describe the alterations in global transcription produced by this phytochemical. A. baumannii AB5075 cultures were grown in LB medium in the presence of 0.375 mM Kaempferol or a DMSO control (3 biological replicates per condition) until reaching mid-exponential phase. At this point, cells were harvested, treated with RNAlater for preservation of total RNA and stored at -80 C. After that, total RNA was extracted from each sample. As a result, 99 genes appeared upregulated in the presence of Kaempferol whereas 18 were downregulated. In highlights, the gene functional groups showing the strongest transcriptional alterations were those related to iron acquisition, siderophore biosynthesis and iron transport genes.

Alteration of global transcription by the artificial sweetener acesulfame K in Acinetobacter baumannii AB5075

Project description:We perform RNA-seq comparing a treatment with 1.33% acesulfame K to a mock treatment in A. baumannii AB5075 in order to describe the alterations in global transcription produced by this artificial sweetener. A. baumannii AB5075 cultures were grown in LB medium in the presence of 1.33% acesulfame K or a water control (3 biological replicates per condition) until reaching mid-exponential phase. At this point, cells were harvested, treated with RNAlate for preservation of total RNA and stored at -80 C. After that, total RNA was extracted from each sample. As a result, 212 genes appeared upregulated in the presence of acesulfame K, whereas 252 were downregulated. In highlights, the gene functional groups showing the strongest transcriptional alterations were those related to twtching motility and natural transformation (downregulation of genes involves in biogenesis and control of Type IV pili and com genes), as well as genes involved in iron acquisition and siderophore biosynthesis and an uncharacterised gene cluster that might be involved in detoxification of sulfonamide compounds.

Acinetobacter baumannii response to cefiderocol challenge in human urine

Project description:Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel chlorocatechol-substituted siderophore approved to treat complicated urinary tract infections and for hospital-acquired and ventilator-acquired pneumonia. In previous work, human fluids, were shown to increase the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of Acinetobacter baumannii against CFDC and reduce the expression of genes related to iron uptake systems, which could explain the need for higher concentrations of CFDC to exert inhibitory action. Herein, we analyzed the impact of human urine (HU), which contains low albumin concentrations, on the expression of iron-uptake related genes and MIC values of two carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. Levels of resistance to CFDC were not modified by HU in strain AMA40 but were reduced in the case of strain AB5075. Testing other carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates showed that the CFDC MICs were unmodified or reduced in the presence of HU. The expression of piuA, pirA, bauA, and bfnH determined by qRT-PCR was enhanced in both strains when HU was present in the culture medium. All four tested genes are involved in recognizing ferric siderophore complexes or internalization into the cell’s cytosol. In contrast, the effect of HU on genes associated with resistance to β-lactams, antibiotics commonly used to treat urinary tract infections caused by A. baumannii, was variable; the transcriptional analysis of pbp1, pbp3, blaOXA-51-like, blaADC, and blaNDM-1 showed significant variation. In summary, HU, probably due to the albumin and free iron content, does not adversely impact or slightly improves the activity of CFDC when tested against A. baumannii in urine in contrast to other human bodily fluids.

Towards the complete small RNome of Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:In recent years, the Gram-negative bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii has garnered considerable attention for its unprecedented capacity to rapidly develop resistance to antibacterial therapeutics. This is coupled with the seemingly epidemic emergence of new hyper-virulent strains. Although strain-specific differences for A. baumannii isolates have been well described, these studies have primarily focused on proteinaceous factors. At present, only limited publications have investigated the presence and role of small regulatory RNA (sRNA) transcripts. Herein, we perform such an analysis, describing the RNA-seq-based identification of 78 A. baumannii sRNAs in the AB5075 background. Together with six previously identified elements, we include each of these in a new genome annotation file, which will serve as a tool to investigate regulatory events in this organism. Our work reveals that the sRNAs display high expression, accounting for >50 % of the 20 most strongly expressed genes. Through conservation analysis we identified six classes of similar sRNAs, with one found to be particularly abundant and homologous to regulatory, C4 antisense RNAs found in bacteriophages. These elements appear to be processed from larger transcripts in an analogous manner to the phage C4 molecule and are putatively controlled by two further sRNAs that are strongly antisense to them. Collectively, this study offers a detailed view of the sRNA content of A. baumannii, exposing sequence and structural conservation amongst these elements, and provides novel insight into the potential evolution, and role, of these understudied regulatory molecules. This study is based on the annotation of novel sRNAs on basis of an Acinetobacter baumannii RNA sequencing dataset. Each sample was generated by pooling three independent biological replicate RNA preps

CsrA-controlled proteins important for Acinetobacter baumannii desiccation tolerance

Project description:Hospital environments serve as excellent reservoirs for the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii in part because it is exceptionally tolerant to desiccation. To understand the functional basis this trait, we used transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) to identify genes contributing to desiccation tolerance in A. baumannii strain AB5075. We identified 142 candidate desiccation tolerance genes, one of which encoded the global post-transcriptional regulator CsrA. We characterized CsrA in more detail by using proteomics to identify proteins that were differentially present in wild type and csrA mutant cells. Among these were a predicted universal stress protein A, an iron-containing redox protein, a KGG-domain containing protein, and catalase. Subsequent mutant analysis showed that each of these proteins was required for A. baumannii desiccation tolerance. The amino acid sequence of the KGG-domain containing protein predicts that it is an intrinsically disordered protein. Such proteins are critical for desiccation tolerance of the small animals called tardigrades. This protein also has a repeat nucleic acid binding amino acid motif, suggesting that it may protect A. baumannii DNA from desiccation-induced damage.

Phytochemical variations in medicinal herbs affecting bioefficacy: Equisetum arvense extracts in the global market place as a case study

Project description:We used phytochemical profiling techniques to generate a list of compounds present in each of 13 Equisetum arvense samples sourced globally. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the treatment of the model system Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a chosen number of these extracts. A thorough bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the relationship between phytochemical and gene expression response profiles. We analysed 18 Equisetum arvense microarrays. Six samples were chosen from the original 13 for microarray analysis, 5 of which were performed in duplicate and the sixth in quadruplicate. Control arrays were also performed in quadruplicate.

In vivo protein interaction network analysis reveals porin-localized toxin inactivation in antibiotic resistant bacteria

Project description:The nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is a frequent cause of hospital acquired infections worldwide, and a challenge for treatment due to its evolved resistance to antibiotics, including carbapenems. To gain insight on A. baumannii antibiotic resistance mechanisms, we analyzed the protein interaction network of a multidrug-resistant A. baumannii clinical strain Ab5075. Using in vivo chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry, we identified 2,068 non-redundant cross-linked peptide pairs containing 245 intra- and 398 inter- molecular interactions. Outer membrane proteins OmpA and YiaD, and carbapenemase Oxa-23 are hubs of the identified interaction network. Eighteen novel interactors of Oxa-23 were identified. Interactions of Oxa-23 with outer membrane porins OmpA and CarO were verified with co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Furthermore, transposon mutagenesis of oxa-23 or interactors of Oxa-23 demonstrated changes in meropenem or imipenem sensitivity in Ab5075. These results provide the first view of a porin-localized toxin inactivation model and increase understanding of bacterial antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
