Multigenerational Proteolytic Inactivation of Restriction Upon Subtle Genomic Hypomethylation

ABSTRACT: In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, restriction inactivation upon growth at high temperatures was previously described, however, which system is being inactivated, the underlying mechanism, as well as the timing of recovery, remain unknown. Here, we report that P. aeruginosa Type I methyltransferase (HsdMS) and restriction endonuclease (HsdR) components are degraded by two Lon-like proteases when replicating above 41 °C, which induces partial genome hypomethylation and simultaneously prevents self-targeting, respectively. Interestingly, upon return to 37 °C, methyltransferase activity returns gradually, with restriction activity not fully recovering for over 60 bacterial generations, representing the longest bacterial memory to our knowledge. Forced expression of HsdR over the first 45 generations is toxic, demonstrating the fitness benefit of HsdR inactivation.

Multigenerational Proteolytic Inactivation of Restriction Upon Subtle Genomic Hypomethylation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Restriction-modification (R-M) systems protect against phage infection by detecting and degrading invading foreign DNA. However, like many prokaryotic anti-phage defenses, R-M systems pose a significant risk of auto-immunity, exacerbated by the presence of hundreds to thousands of potential cleavage sites in the bacterial genome. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains experience the temporary inactivation of restriction endonucleases (tiREN) upon growth at high temperatures, but the mechanisms and implications of this are unknown. Here, we report that P. aeruginosa Type I restriction endonuclease (HsdR) is degraded, and the methyltransferase (HsdMS) is partially degraded, by two Lon-like proteases when replicating above 41 °C. This post-translational regulation prevents self-DNA targeting and leads to partial genomic hypomethylation, as demonstrated by SMRT sequencing and eTAM-seq. Interestingly, upon return to 37 ºC, restriction activity and full genomic methylation do not fully recover for up to 60 bacterial generations. Our findings demonstrate that Type I R-M is tightly regulated post-translationally with a long memory effect that ensures genomic stability and mitigates auto-toxicity.

Effect of long-term exposure of platinum nanopariticles on gene expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Project description:Previous synthesized Pt NPs were selected to evaluate the influences on bacterial resistance, and a typical pathogenic microbe P. aeruginosa was chosen as model bacteria. After 60-day PtNPs exposure, we found under 12.5 μg/mL of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) exposure for ~7200 generations, the IC50 of evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 to imipenem (IPM) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) reduced 77.0% and 87.8%, respectively. Interestingly, long-term of PtNPs exposure arose the bacterial susceptibility on antibiotics. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq.

Identifying putative substrates of Lon protease in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:We aim to identify potential substrates of the Lon protease in P. aeruginosa. Samples with the lon protease overexpressed or deleted were compared to the wild type to observe the proteins whose steady-state levels changed with change in Lon levels. We used spectinomycin to inhibit protein synthesis and observed the stability of proteins over 30 and 60 minutes to identify proteins whose stability also changed in response of Lon levels.

RNA-seq and ChIP-seq for Lon

Project description:Lon protease plays vital roles in many biological processes in Pseudomonas syringae, including type III secretion systems (T3SS), transcription regulation, protein synthesis and energy metabolism. Lon also functions as a transcriptional regulator in other bacterial species (e.g., Escherichia coli and Brevibacillus thermoruber). Therefore, we hypothesise that Lon has dual functions in P. syringae. To reveal the molecular mechanisms of Lon as a transcriptional regulator and protease under different environmental conditions, we used a combination of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify the genes or proteins regulated by Lon. As a transcriptional regulator, Lon bound to the promoter regions of PSPPH_4788, gacA, fur, gntR, clpS, lon and glyA and consequently regulated 1-dodecanol oxidation activity, motility, pyoverdine production, gluconokinase activity, N-end rule pathway, lon expression and serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) activity in King’s B medium (KB). In minimal medium (MM), Lon regulated SHMT activity and lon expression by binding to the promoter regions of glyA and lon, respectively. As a protease, Lon regulated the T3SS and metabolic pathways (e.g., amino acid metabolism). In MM, Lon regulated the polysaccharide metabolic process by controlling PSPPH_0514, AlgA, CysD and PSPPH_4991. Taken together, these data demonstrate that Lon acts as a transcriptional regulator or protease in different environments and tunes its virulence and metabolic functions accordingly.

Multigenerational effect of heat stress on the Drosophila melanogaster sperm proteome

Project description:The notion that genes are the sole units of heredity and that a barrier exists between soma and germline has been a major hurdle in elucidating the heritability of traits that were observed to follow a non-Mendelian inheritance pattern. It was only after the conception of “epigenetics” by C. H. Waddington that the effect of parental environment on subsequent generations via non-DNA sequence-based mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, chromatin modifications, non-coding RNAs and proteins, could be established in various organisms, now referred to as multigenerational epigenetic inheritance. Despite the growing body of evidence, the male gamete-derived epigenetic factors that mediate the transmission of such phenotypes are seldom explored, particularly in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Using the heat stress-induced multigenerational epigenetic inheritance paradigm in a widely used position-effect variegation line of Drosophila, named white-mottled, we have dissected the effect of heat stress on the sperm proteome in the current study. We demonstrate that multiple successive generations of heat stress at the early embryonic stage results in a significant downregulation of proteins associated with translation, chromatin organization, microtubule-based processes, and generation of metabolites and energy in the Drosophila sperms. Based on our findings, we propose chromatin-based epigenetic mechanisms, a well-established mechanism for environmentally induced multigenerational effects, as a plausible way of transmitting heat stress memory via the male germ line in subsequent generations. Moreover, we demonstrate the effect of multiple generations of heat stress on the reproductive fitness of Drosophila, shedding light on the adaptive or maladaptive potential of heat stress-induced multigenerational phenotypes.

lonB mutant

Project description:The bacterial Lon protease participates in a variety of biological processes. In Pseudomonas syringae, mutation of lon is known to activate hrpL and a few hrpL-regulated genes in the rich medium. The elevated expression of hrpL and hrpL-regulated genes results from of increased stability of HrpR, the transcriptional activator of hrpL, in the lon mutant. Here we conducted a microarray analysis to determine genes that are differently expressed in the lon- mutant of P. s. pv. tomato DC3000 grown in the rich medium KB. Most genes induced in the lon- mutant belong to the HrpL-regulon or are related to the transcription, protein synthesis, and energy metabolism. The major group of genes reduced in the lon- mutant is related to cell wall biogenesis. The HrpL-regulated genes exhibit different induction patterns in the lon- mutant, suggesting the involvement of regulators additional to HrpL in regulating these genes. Compared with the wild type bacteria, the lon- mutants exhibit elevated hrpL expression in KB medium but reduced hrpL expression in the minimal medium (MM). The reduced hrpL RNA is correlated with the reduced hrpR and hrpS RNAs, suggesting that the Lon-mediated regulation of hrpL involves different mechanisms in KB and MM. Consistent with the reduced expression of the hrpL in MM, the lon- mutants are less pathogenic on host plants. Keywords: Expression profiles of lonB mutant in KB
