Transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli mutants involved in inorganic polyphosphate metabolism

ABSTRACT: Inorganic polyphosphate (Poly P) is a polymer of various phosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds as in ATP. It is found in all cells in nature with roles in the origin and survival of species, particularly in bacteria. To study the role of the inorganic polyphosphate in bacteria, we obtained knockout mutants of polyP metabolism genes in Escherichia coli K12. We performed DNA microarray experiments of single mutants in polyphosphate kinase 1 (PPK1), exopolyphosphatase (PPX) and also with the double mutant (PPK1 and PPX). The mutant strains growth normally in LB medium but have different colony morphology phenotypes. All mutants have flagellation problems and a detail description of all gain and lost phenotypes o these strains will be published soon because we performed a complete phenotypic microarray study of all three mutant strains.

Understanding the roles of dksA and greA in inorganic polyphosphate accumulation in Escherichia coli

Project description:Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is synthesized by bacteria in response to various stresses, but the mechanism of its regulation is unknown. Mutants of Escherichia coli lacking the RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor dksA are defective in polyP synthesis after a nutrient limitation stress, and this defect is reversed in a dksA greA mutant. In this work, we used RNA sequencing to compare transcription in wild-type, dksA, and dksA greA strains of E. coli before and after nutrient limitation, to identify genes whose expression pattern correlates with ability to synthesize polyP.

Accumulation of inorganic polyphosphate mediates metabolic downshift and antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:The stringent response, involving the regulatory molecules inorganic polyphosphate (poly P) and (p)ppGpp, is believed to mediate Mycobacterium tuberculosis persistence. In this study, we identified a novel exopolyphosphatase responsible for poly P hydrolysis. Using two different poly P-accumulating M. tuberculosis recombinant strains, we found that increased poly P content drives the organisms into early growth arrest, and contributes to tolerance to the cell wall-active agent isoniazid, increased resistance to stress conditions, and improved survival in macrophages. Transcriptomic and metabolomics analysis revealed metabolic downshift manifested by reduced expression of the transcriptional and translational machinery, and shift from utilization of glucose as a carbon source. In summary, regulation of the poly P balance is critical for persister formation in M. tuberculosis. The transcriptome of poly P accumulation strains, Rv1026 knock-down and ppk1 knock-in were compared to empty vector strains by RNA-seq.

Transcriptome analysis of cryptococcal IPK mutants

Project description:In eukaryotes, inositol polyphosphates perform essential metabolic and signaling functions. Using human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans as a model, we created mutants in three inositol polyphosphates kinases: Arg1, Ipk1 and Kcs1. Each of the mutants produces a unique repertoire of inositol polyphosphates, different from the wild type strain. Comparative phenotypic and transcriptome analyses of wild type and mutant strains indicates that inositol polyphosphate PP-IP5 (IP7) is the key regulator of gene expression, fitness and virulence in C. neoformans.

Daptomycin tolerance in the Staphylococcus aureus pitA6 mutant is due to upregulation of the dlt-operon

Project description:It is very important to understand the mechanisms how bacteria become tolerant towards antibiotics during clinical therapy. In a previous study we showed that increased daptomycin (DAP) tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus was due to a point mutation in pitA (inorganic phosphate transporter) that led to intracellular accumulation of both inorganic phosphate (Pi) and polyphosphate (polyP). DAP tolerance in that pitA6 mutant differs from classical resistance mechanisms as there was no increase in minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). In this study we demonstrate that DAP tolerance in the pitA6 mutant is not triggered by the accumulation of polyP. Transcriptome analysis revealed that about 234 genes were at least 2.0-fold differently expressed in the mutant. Particularly, genes involved in protein biosynthesis, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism as well as in replication and maintenance of DNA were downregulated. However, the most important change was the upregulation of the dlt-operon, which is induced by the accumulation of intracellular Pi. The GraXRS system, known as activator of both dlt and mprF, as well as surface charge, cell wall thickness or the content of wall teichoic acids (WTA) are not involved in DAP tolerance in the pitA6 mutant. In conclusion the DAP tolerance in the pitA6 mutant is due to an upregulation of the dlt-operon triggered directly or indirectly by the accumulation of Pi. WT strain HG003 and its pitA mutant were used to compare transcriptomic changes after 6 or 8 hours of growth in suspension in TSB medium

Ddp1 cooperates with Ppx1 to counter a stress response initiated by non-vacuolar polyphosphate

Project description:In diverse cells from bacterial to mammalian species, inorganic phosphate is stored in long chains called polyphosphates (polyP). These near universal polymers, ranging from 3 to thousands of phosphate moieties in length, are associated with molecular functions including energy homeostasis, protein folding, and cell signaling. In many cell types, polyphosphate is concentrated in subcellular compartments or organelles. In the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, polyP synthesis by the membrane-bound VTC complex is coupled to its translocation into the lumen of the vacuole, a lysosome-related organelle, where it is stored at high concentrations. In contrast, ectopic expression of bacterial polyphosphate kinase, PPK, results in the toxic accumulation of polyP outside of the vacuole. In this study, we used label-free mass spectrometry to investigate the mechanisms underlying this toxicity. We find that PPK expression results in the activation of a stress response mediated in part by the Hog1 and Yak1 kinases, and Msn2/Msn4 transcription factors. This response is countered by the combined action of the Ddp1 and Ppx1 polyphosphatases that function together to counter polyP accumulation and downstream toxicity. In contrast, ectopic expression of previously proposed mammalian polyphosphatases did not impact PPK-mediated toxicity in the yeast model, suggesting either that these enzymes do not function directly as polyphosphatases in vivo or that they require co-factors unique to higher eukaryotes. Our work provides a mechanistic explanation for why polyP accumulation outside of lysosome-related organelles is toxic. Further, it serves as a resource for exploring how polyP may impact conserved biological processes at a molecular level.
