Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is known to synthesize and respond to the cell signaling molecule, autoinducer-2 (AI-2). The luxS gene is involved in the synthesis of AI-2. We have previously shown that luxS controls a variety of bacterial processes in S. Typhimurium. In this study we identified the genes regulated by AI-2 using mRNA samples from isogenic luxS gene mutant of S. Typhimurium strain 87-26254 grown in LB media in the presence/absence of in vitro synthesized AI-2. In the presence of in vitro synthesized AI-2, 536 genes were significantly (p<0.05) regulated. Interestingly, in vitro synthesized AI-2 caused the down-regulation of 39 genes in Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-1 (SPI-1) including the transcriptional regulators hilA, hilD, and invF. Purified cDNAs from the mutant supplemented with AI-2 and mutant without AI-2 (PBS) were each labeled with Cy-3 mono-Reactive Dye and Cy-5 mono-Reactive Dye (GE Health Care, Piscataway, NJ) and were processed using a dye-swapping design. A total of eight microarray arrays, each with duplicate spots for each gene and used for mutant supplemented with AI-2.

Typhimurium strain 87-26254 grown in LB media in the presence of S. Typhimurium wild type CFS / absence AI-2 (mutant CFS of S. Typhimurium). In the presence of AI-2 in CFS, 758 genes were significantly regulated. Interstingly, AI-2 in CFS caused the down-regulation of 39 genes in Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-1 (SPI-1).

Project description:Autoinducer 2 (AI-2), a widespread by-product of the LuxS-catalyzed S-ribosylhomocysteine cleavage reaction in the activated methyl cycle, has been suggested to serve as an intra- and interspecies signaling molecule, but in many bacteria AI-2 control of gene expression is not completely understood. Particularly, we have a lack of knowledge about AI-2 signaling in the important human pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis. Here, to determine the role of LuxS and AI-2 in S. epidermidis, we analyzed genome-wide changes in gene expression in an S. epidermidis luxS mutant and after addition of AI-2 synthesized by over-expressed S. epidermidis Pfs and LuxS enzymes. Genes under AI-2 control included mostly genes involved in sugar, nucleotide, amino acid, and nitrogen metabolism, but also virulence-associated genes coding for lipase and bacterial apoptosis proteins. In addition, we demonstrate by liquid chromatography/mass-spectrometry of culture filtrates that the pro-inflammatory phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) peptides, key virulence factors of S. epidermidis, are under luxS/AI-2 control. Our results provide a detailed molecular basis for the role of LuxS in S. epidermidis virulence and suggest a signaling function for AI-2 in this bacterium.

Project description:Cell to cell communication in bacteria to regulate various cellular processes with respect to their population density is termed quorum sensing and is achieved using signaling molecules called autoinducers. LuxS, which is involved in the synthesis of the autoinducer molecule-2 (AI-2), is conserved in several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including the enteric pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium. Genes that are regulated by luxS in S. Typhimurium were identified using microarrays and RNA samples from wild type S. Typhimurium and its isogenic luxS mutant, in two growth conditions (presence and absence of glucose), and at two different time points (mid-log and early-stationary phases). Minimal differential gene expression was observed in the presence of glucose. In the absence of both luxS and glucose, a total of 1560 genes were differentially expressed and 1361 genes were identified as luxS/AI-2-regulated at the mid-log phase and 199 genes at the early-stationary phase. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed on selected genes to validate the microarray results. These results suggest that although the expression of the luxS gene in S. Typhimurium is independent of the growth condition, its role in the production of AI-2 depends on the growth condition. It was found that luxS/AI-2 plays a vital role in a variety of processes such as metabolism, virulence gene expression, motility, transcription and translation.

Project description:In the present study we show that a functional luxS gene is present in all members of the genus Bifidobacterium and that AI-2 production by Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 is necessary to confer protection against Salmonella infection in Caenorhabditis elegans. Mutants carrying a disrupted luxS gene conferred less protection than the WT, whereas administration of a complemented strain, a LuxS-overexpression strain and the WT resulted in similar survival. Transcriptome data obtained for both the WT and the luxS-insertion mutant grown in vitro suggest that LuxS has a metabolic role that impacts on iron metabolism. In line with this, we demonstrated that the luxS mutant is significantly more susceptible to the ferrous ion chelator 2,2-dipyridyl than the WT strain. Furthermore, qRT-PCR shows that the iron regulated genes are upregulated under in vivo conditions, while we also show that LuxS is required for colonization of BALB/c mice. Altogether, our findings provide detailed insights into the molecular mechanism underlying gut pathogen protection conferred by bifidobacteria.

Project description:LuxS is an enzyme involved in the activated methyl cycle. The by-product of this cycle, autoinducer 2 (AI-2), could be an important quorum sensing signal. LuxS was conserved and regulated many behaviors in different bacteria, but in most species, whether the regulations are related to AI-2 mediated quorum sensing is still unknown. In our previous study, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the etiologic agent of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia, was found to possess the functional LuxS affecting biofilm formation and virulence. In this study, microarray was used to compare the transcriptional profiles of the A. pleuropneumoniae wildtype strain 4074, luxS mutant and its AI-2 supplemented strain in four different growth phases. The results demonstrated that both LuxS and AI-2 played important roles in metabolism of this bacterium. AI-2 did not recover the gene expression changes caused by luxS deletion but caused more extensive metabolic alterations in the luxS mutant in a concentration dependent manner. Regulations of the genes involved in iron metabolism, carbonhydrate transport and host cell adhesion were validated by real-time RT-PCR and phenotypic investigations under different conditions. The results demonstrated that sugar uptake was repressed by LuxS independent of AI-2. However, iron metabolism, an important process of infection for A. pleuropneumoniae, could be controlled by LuxS through AI-2. Adhesion to host cells was also affected by LuxS and AI-2, but exogenous AI-2 displayed more obvious effects. Our results indicated that both LuxS and AI-2 are essential in the metabolism of A. pleuropneumoniae. The function of LuxS/AI-2 displayed pleiotropic roles in different conditions. AI-2 may not serve as a quorum sensing autoinducer but a metabolite or an environmental cue to affect the metabolism and virulence traits of this important pathogen.

Project description:HilD is a regulator of Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) virulence genes in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. To identify novel HilD-regulated genes, we mapped the genome-wide association of HilD in S. Typhimurium under SPI-1-inducing conditions (high salt, low aeration) using ChIP-seq. HilD was C-terminally tagged with 3 FLAG tags in strain 14028s.

Project description:The AI-2 quorum-sensing system has been linked to diverse phenotypes and regulatory changes in pathogenic bacteria. In strain CO92, the AI-2 signal is produced in a luxS-dependent manner, reaching maximal levels of 2.5 μM in late logarithmic growth, and both wild type and pigmentation mutant strains made equivalent levels of AI-2. Y. pestis CO92 possesses a chromosomal lsr locus encoding factors involved in the binding and import of AI-2, and confirming this assignment, an lsr deletion increased extracellular pools of AI-2. To assess the functional role of AI-2 sensing in Y. pestis, microarray study was conducted comparing the ∆Pgm strain R88 to a ∆Pgm ∆luxS mutant at 30°C to mimic the flea gut.
