Allosteric regulation by c-di-AMP modulates global signal integration in Actinobacteria

ABSTRACT: C-di-AMP is primarily associated with the regulation of carbon utilization as well as other central traits, central metabolism, and bacterial stringent response to environmental changes. Elevated c-di-AMP levels result in aberrant physiology for most c-di-AMP synthesizing organisms, drawing particular attention to the importance of the c-di-AMP homeostasis and the molecular mechanisms pertaining to nucleotide metabolism and signal transduction. Here we show that c-di-AMP binds the GntR-family regulator DasR, uncovering a direct link between c-di-AMP and GlcNAc signaling. Further, we show c-di-AMP functions as an allosteric activator of DasR activity. GlcNAc is necessary for cell-surface structure from bacteria to humans, as well as a signal for bacterial development and antibiotic production. DasR is a global repressor that oversees GlcNAc metabolism and antibiotic production, which enables Actinobacteria to cope with stress and starvation. Our in vivo studies reveal the important biological role of allosteric regulation by c-di-AMP in metabolic imbalance and the transduction of a series of signals. Notably, DasR also controls intracellular c-di-AMP level through direct repression on disA. Overall, we identify a function of allosteric regulation between c-di-AMP and DasR in global signal integration and c-di-AMP homeostasis in bacteria, which is likely widespread in Actinobacteria.

A meet-up of AcP and c-di-GMP modulates BldD activity for development and antibiotic production in actinobacteria

Project description:Actinobacteria are ubiquitous bacteria undergoing complex developmental transition coincided with antibiotics production in response to stress or nutrients starvation. This transition is mainly controlled by the interaction between the second messenger c-di-GMP and the master repressor BldD. To date, the upstream factors and the global signal networks that regulate this intriguing cell biological processes still remained unknown. In Saccharopolyspora erythraea, we found that acetyl phosphate (AcP) accumulation resulting from environmental nitrogen stress participated in the regulation of BldD activity through cooperation with c-di-GMP. AcP-induced acetylation of BldD at K11 caused the BldD dimer to fall apart and dissociate from the target DNA, as well as disrupted the signal transduction of c-di-GMP, thus governed both developmental transition and antibiotics production. Meanwhile, practical mutation of BldDK11R bypassing the acetylation regulation could enhance the positive effect of BldD on antibiotics production. Our finding represents an entirely different role of the covalent modification caused by AcP, which integrated with c-di-GMP signal in modulating the activity of BldD for development and antibiotic production coping with environmental stress. This coherent and highly conserved regulatory network might offer new insight into the direct connections from specific regulator to the actinobacteria biological process associated with major morphogenetic event

The impact of c-di-AMP levels on gene expression in Enterococcus faecalis

Project description:Second messenger nucleotides such as c-di-AMP are produced by bacteria in response to environmental stimuli and can contribute to the regulation of a number of cellular processes including osmoregulation, envelope homeostasis, central metabolism, and biofilm formation. Here, as part of an effort to uncover the biological significance of c-di-AMP in the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis, we utilized high-throughout RNA Sequencing analysis to explore the impact of deletion of genes responsible for c-di-AMP synthesis (cdaA) and degradation (dhhP and gdpP).

Transcriptome changes in response to accumulation of cyclic di-AMP in Bacillus subtilis.

Project description:Cyclic di-AMP is an essential second messenger in many Gram-positive bacteria, including the model organism Bacillus subtilis. Here, we analyzed the transcriptome of a strain accumulating c-di-AMP in vivo. Our results demonstrate that accumulation of c-di-AMP affects the expression of several hundred genes, among them many mother-cell specific sporulation genes. Additionally, the two major biofilm operons, epsA-O and tapA-sipW-tasA, are affected. High levels of c-di-AMP abolish transcription of genes responsible for biofilm formation which in turn leads to a defect in complex colony formation in B. subtilis.

The CdaA Regulon in Streptoccus mutans

Project description:Nucleotide signaling pathways are found in all kingdoms of life and are utilized to coordinate a rapid response to changes in the environment. One more recently discovered signaling nucleotide is the secondary messenger cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP), which is widely distributed among bacteria and is also found in several archaea. This cyclic nucleotide has been shown to involve in several important cellular processes, including maintenance of DNA integrity, cell wall metabolism, stress tolerance, transcription regulation and virulence. However, the mechanisms by which c-di-AMP modulates these physiological changes have remained largely unknown.In the present study, we identified and characterized a c-di-AMP synthase (CdaA) in S. mutans UA159. Furthermore, we investigated the role of CdaA in S. mutans cell physiology and global gene expression by utilizing cdaA gene in-frame deletion mutant. Our findings suggest that CdaA is an important global modulator of optimal growth and environmental adaption in this pathogen.

c-di-AMP signaling is required for bile salts resistance and long-term colonization by Clostridioides difficile

Project description:In this study, we showed for the first time that c-di-AMP is produced by C. difficile and controls the uptake of potassium, making it essential for growth. We found that c-di-AMP is involved in biofilm formation, cell wall homeostasis, osmotolerance as well as detergent and bile salt resistance in C. difficile. We identified BusR as a new regulator that binds c-di-AMP and represses the expression of the compatible solute transporter BusAA-AB. Interestingly, a busR mutant is highly resistant to a hyperosmotic or bile salt stress compared to the parental strain while a busAA mutant is more susceptible. A short exposure of C. difficile cells to bile salts resulted in a decrease of the c-di-AMP concentrations reinforcing the hypothesis that changes in membrane characteristics due to variations of the cellular turgor or membrane damages constitute a signal for the adjustment of the intracellular c-di-AMP concentration. In a colonization mouse model, a strain producing elevated c-di-AMP concentrations failed to persist in the gut in contrast to the parental strain. Thus, c-di-AMP is a signaling molecule with pleiotropic effects that controls osmolyte uptake to confer osmotolerance and bile salt resistance in C. difficile and that is important for colonization of the host.

Modulation of cAMP levels by a conserved actinobacteria phosphodiesterase enzyme reduces antimicrobial tolerance in mycobacteria

Project description:The second messenger, cyclic-AMP (cAMP) is conserved across all taxa of life. It is involved in propagating the signal from environmental stimuli and converting it into a response. In bacteria such as M. tuberculosis (Mtb), P. aeruginosa, V. cholerae and B. pertussis, cAMP has been implicated in virulence, regulation of metabolism and gene expression. Cyclic AMP signalling in mycobacteria is especially complex – with 16 enzymes that produce cAMP in Mtb alone. By discovery of a novel, actinobacteria conserved enzyme that degrades cAMP, we have developed a tool to modulate cAMP levels in mycobacteria. By using a combination of metabolomics, bioenergetics and time-to-kill assays, we show that when this enzyme is overexpressed in the model organism M. smegmatis, there is a 3.3 -fold decrease in intracellular cAMP levels. This was concomitant with altered cell envelope permeability, compromised bioenergetics and most importantly, led to a decrease in the tolerance to various frontline antimicrobials. Taken together, this work provides clear evidence that cAMP is involved in antimicrobial tolerance in mycobacteria and that this may represent a promising new target for antimicrobial development.

Coordinated regulation of osmotic imbalance by c-di-AMP shapes ß-lactam tolerance in Group B Streptococcus

Project description:Streptococcus agalactiae is among the few pathogens that have not developed resistance to ß-lactam antibiotics despite decades of clinical use. The molecular basis of this long-lasting susceptibility has not been investigated, and it is uncertain whether specific mechanisms constraint the emergence of resistance. In this study, we first report a conserved role of the signaling nucleotide cyclic-di-AMP in the sensitivity of S. agalactiae to ß-lactam. Specifically, we demonstrate that inactivation of the phosphodiesterase GdpP confers ß-lactam tolerance. Characterizing the signaling pathway revealed an antagonistic regulation by the transcriptional factor BusR, which is activated by c-di-AMP and negatively regulates ß-lactam susceptibility. Furthermore, we show that simultaneous inhibition of osmolyte transporters activity and transcription by c-di-AMP has an additive effect, sustaining ß-lactam tolerance. Finally, transposon mutagenesis for ß-lactam reduced susceptibility reveals a convergent pattern of mutations, including in the KhpAB small RNA chaperone and the protein S immunomodulator. Overall, our findings suggest mechanisms that may foster antibiotic resistance in S. agalactiae and demonstrate that c-di-AMP acts as a turgor pressure rheostat, coordinating an integrated response to cell wall weakening due to ß-lactam activity.

N-Acetylglucosamine-Induced Cell Death in Candida albicans and Its Implications for Adaptive Mechanisms of Nutrient Sensing in Yeasts

Project description:Single-celled organisms have different strategies to sense and utilize nutrients in their ever-changing environments. The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a common member of the human microbiota, especially that of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. An important question concerns how C. albicans gained a competitive advantage over other microbes to become a successful commensal and opportunistic pathogen. Here, we report that C. albicans uses N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), an abundant carbon source present in the GI tract, as a signal for nutrient availability. When placed in water, C. albicans cells normally enter the G0 phase and remain viable for weeks. However, they quickly lose viability when cultured in water containing only GlcNAc. We term this phenomenon GlcNAc-induced cell death (GICD). GlcNAc triggers the upregulation of ribosomalbiogenesis genes, alterations of mitochondrial metabolism, and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by rapid cell death via both apoptotic and necrotic mechanisms. Multiple pathways, including the conserved cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling and GlcNAc catabolic pathways, are involved in GICD. GlcNAc acts as a signaling molecule to regulate multiple cellular programs in a coordinated manner and therefore maximizes the efficiency of nutrient use. This adaptive behavior allows C. albicans’ more efficient colonization of the gut. Expression profiles of Candida alibcans in three different 5 hours) were determined by high throughput sequencing technology.
