VimR is a conserved transcription regulator controlling virulence and metabolism in Pseudomonas syringae

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas syringae, a highly destructive plant bacterial pathogen causing severe disease and significant yield losses in agriculture globally, has complex regulatory systems involving many transcriptional factors (TFs). Although the LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR) family proteins are a well-known group of TFs involved in diverse physiological functions, the roles of LTTRs in P. syringae are still largely unknown. In this study, we characterised a LysR-type TF, PSPPH4638, which is a virulence and metabolism regulator (VimR) with multiple functions. Genome-wide identification of VimR using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing revealed 1,032 binding sites in the genome, of which 85% were in intergenic regions. Transcriptomic analysis showed altered expression of 454 and 82 genes in response to vimR deletion in King’s B medium (KB) and minimal medium, respectively. Conjoint analysis showed that 99 genes were directly affected by VimR in KB. VimR was identified as a repressor of the type III secretion system, oxidative stress response and key metabolic pathways such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In addition, we found that VimR was positively involved in the type VI secretion system and alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism. Taken together, our findings identified a new TF VimR and revealed its important functions in P. syringae. This is the first time to describe a transcription factor that regulates both type III secretion system and type VI secretion system and multiple metabolic pathways in Pseudomonas syringae.

ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses of genomic regulators in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Regulatory networks including virulence-related transcriptional factors (TFs) determine bacterial pathogenicity in response to different environmental cues. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen of humans, recruits numerous TFs in quorum sensing (QS) system, type III secretion system (T3SS) and Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to mediate the pathogenicity. Although many virulence-related TFs have been illustrated individually, very little is known about their crosstalks and regulatory network. Here, based on chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq), we primarily focused on understanding the crosstalks of 20 virulence-related TFs, which led to construction of a virulence regulatory network named PAGnet (Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genomic integrated regulatory network), including 82 crosstalk targets. The PAGnet uncovered the intricate mechanism of virulence regulation and revealed master regulators in QS, T3SS and T6SS pathways. In particular, GacA and ExsA showed novel functions in QS and nitrogen metabolism. In addition, an online PAGnet platform was provided to analyze these TFs and more virulence factors. Taken together, the present study revealed the function-specific crosstalks of virulence regulatory network, which might provide new strategies for treating infections in P. aeruginosa in the future.

Repertoire and abundance of secreted virulence factors shape the pathogenic capacity of Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata is a member of the sugar beet pathobiome and the causative agent of leaf spot disease. Like many pathogenic bacteria, P. syringae relies on the secretion of toxins, which manipulate host-pathogen interactions, to establish and maintain an infection. This study analyzes the secretome of six pathogenic P. syringae pv. aptata strains with different defined virulence capacities in order to identify common and strain-specific features, and correlate the secretome with disease outcome. All strains show a high type III secretion system (T3SS) and type VI secretion system (T6SS) activity under apoplast-like conditions mimicking the infection. Surprisingly, we found that low pathogenic strains show a higher secretion of most T3SS substrates (19 of the 23 detected effectors and accessory harpin proteins), whereas a distinct subgroup of four effectors is exclusively secreted in medium and high pathogenic strains. Similarly, we detected two T6SS secretion patterns: while one set of proteins was highly secreted in all strains, another subset consisting of known T6SS substrates and previously uncharacterized proteins with a highly similar secretion pattern was exclusively secreted in medium and high virulence strains. Taken together, our data shows that P. syringae pathogenicity is correlated with the repertoire and fine-tuning of effector secretion and indicates distinct strategies for establishing virulence of P. syringae pv. aptata in plants.

Whole-transcriptome microarray analysis of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae CRAFRU 8.43 and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 grown in apoplast-like conditions supplemented or not with kiwifruit or tomato extract

Project description:Purpose: The outcome of host–pathogen interactions is thought to reflect the offensive and defensive capabilities of both players. When plants interact with Pseudomonas syringae, several well-characterized virulence factors contribute to early bacterial pathogenicity, including the type III secretion system (T3SS), which must be activated by signals from the plant and environment to allow the secretion of virulence effectors. The manner in which these signals regulate T3SS activity is still unclear. Conlusion: the analysis revealed that the perception of plant signals from kiwifruit or tomato extracts anticipates T3SS expression in P. syringae pv. actinidiae compared to apoplast-like conditions

Chip-seq analysis of hrpRSL and Lon in Pseudomonas syringas

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae uses HrpRSL to regulate the expression of type III secretion system (T3SS) genes and bacterial virulence. However, the molecular mechanism and the regulons of HrpRSL have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) on HrpRSL and Lon. The direct regulation of these genes by corresponding regulator has been confirmed by Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCR). Binding motifs are found by using MEME suite and verified by footprint assays in vitro. Collectively, this work provides new cues to better understand the detailed regulatory networks of T3SS systems in P. syringae. ChIP-seq analysis of HrpRSL and Lon in Pseudomonas syringas

Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network construction

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae, a Gram-negative plant pathogen, infects more than 50 crops with its type III secretion system (T3SS) and causes severe economic losses around the world. Although the mechanisms of virulence-associated regulators of P. syringae T3SS have been studied for decades, the crosstalk and network underlying these regulators are still elusive. Previously, we have individually studied a group of T3SS regulators, including AefR, HrpS, and RhpRS. In the present study, we found 4 new T3SS regulator genes (envZ, ompR, tsiS and phoQ) via transposon-mediated mutagenesis. Two-component systems EnvZ and TsiS natively regulate T3SS. In order to uncover the crosstalk between 16 virulence-associated regulators, (including AefR, AlgU, CvsR, GacA, HrpL, HrpR, HrpS, MgrA, OmpR, PhoP, PilR, PsrA, RhpR, RpoN, TsiR and Vfr) in P. syringae, we mapped an intricate network named PSVnet (Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network) by combining differentially expression genes in RNA-seq and binding loci in ChIP-seq of all regulators.

ChIP-seq and RNA-seq for RhpR in KB and MM medium

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae, the leading cause of crop diseases world-wide, uses type III secretion system (T3SS) to invade host plants. Our previous studies demonstrate that two-component system RhpRS enable P. syringae to coordinate T3SS gene expression, which is dependent on the phosphorylation state of RhpR in different environmental conditions. Homologs of RhpRS are distributed in a wide range of bacterial species, indicating a general regulatory mechanism. However, it remains elusive that how RhpRS relies on external signals and phosphorylation state to exercise its regulatory functions. To this end, we performed ChIP-seq assays to identify specific binding sites of RhpR and RhpRD70A in either King’s B (KB, T3SS-inhibiting medium) or minimal medium (MM, T3SS-inducing medium). Through data analysis, we identified 125 KB-dependent binding sites and 188 phosphorylation-dependent binding sites of RhpR. In KB, RhpR directly positively regulated cytochrome c550 production (via ccmA) and alcohol dehydrogenase activity (via adhB), but negatively regulated anthranilate synthase activity (via trpG) and protease activity (via hemB). Besides, phosphorylated RhpR (RhpR-P) directly negatively regulated T3SS (via hrpR and hopR1), swimming motility (via flhA), c-di-GMP level (via PSPPH_2590) and biofilm formation (via algD), while positively regulated twitching motility (via fimA) and lipopolysaccharide production (via PSPPH_2653). Our RNA-seq analyses newly identified 474 and 840 genes that regulated by RhpR in KB and MM respectively. Collectively, the present study revealed that rich nutrient condition allows RhpR to directly regulate the multiple metabolic pathways of P. syringae, while phosphorylation enables RhpR to specifically control virulence and cell envelope. RhpRS governs both virulence and multiple metabolic pathways by tuning its phosphorylation and sensing environmental signals in KB, respectively.
