Viral SSB-bound ssDNA activates the bacterial anti-phage defense system DARNA

ABSTRACT: To protect themselves against phage infection, bacteria employ diverse defense systems that are typically activated specifically upon infection. However, the mechanisms of activation and self versus non-self discrimination for most systems remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the bacterial immunity protein DARNA, once activated, cleaves a subset of host tRNAs, thereby inhibiting phage propagation. Although phages escape DARNA-mediated defense through mutations in the gene encoding single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), we find that phage SSBs do not directly stimulate DARNA. Instead, DARNA is activated by single-stranded DNA presented by phage SSB, but not by the host SSB. The recognition of an endogenous nucleic acid signal promoted by a viral protein ensures that DARNA can detect and respond to a broad range of viruses while avoiding auto-immunity.

Profiling Ssb-Nascent Chain Interactions Reveals Principles of Hsp70-Assisted Folding

Project description:The yeast Hsp70 chaperone Ssb interacts with ribosomes and nascent chains to co-translationally assist protein folding. Here, we present a proteome-wide analysis of Hsp70 function during translation, based on in vivo selective ribosome profiling, that reveals mechanistic principles coordinating translation with chaperone-assisted protein folding. Ssb binds most cytosolic, nuclear, and mitochondrial proteins and a subset of ER proteins, supporting its general chaperone function. Position-resolved analysis of Ssb engagement reveals compartment- and protein-specific nascent chain binding profiles that are coordinated by emergence of positively charged peptide stretches enriched in aromatic amino acids. Ssbs’ function is temporally coordinated by RAC but independent from NAC. Analysis of ribosome footprint densities along orfs reveals that ribosomes translate faster at times of Ssb binding. This is coordinated by biases in mRNA secondary structure, and codon usage as well as the action of Ssb, suggesting chaperones may allow higher protein synthesis rates by actively coordinating protein synthesis with co-translational folding.

Whole-Genome Analysis of SSB Larvae Infestation Regulated Rice Genes

Project description:Rice, the worldM-bM-^@M-^Ys most important food crop, is attacked by multiple herbivores and pathogens.the rice striped stem borer (SSB) Chilo suppressalis is one of another most important rice insect pests. Here, we use Affymetrix Whole-Genome rice arrays to detect SSB infestation responsive genes. RNA samples from five damaged stems of SSB-challenged 24 h rice plants or five stems from unchallenged plants (for control samples) were used to array analysis. Two replicate biological experiments of SSB treatment rice arrays and one control samples array were peformed.

Viruses encode tRNA and anti-retron to evade bacterial immunity

Project description:Retrons are bacterial genetic retroelements that encode reverse transcriptase capable of producing multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA) and function as antiphage defense systems. Phages employ several strategies to counter the host defense systems, but no mechanisms for evading retrons are known. Here, we show that tRNATyr and Rad (retron anti defense) of T5 phage family inhibit the defense activity of retron 78 and a broad range of retrons, respectively. The effector protein of retron 78, ptuAB, specifically degraded tRNATyr leading abortive infection, but phage countervailed this defense by supplying tRNATyr. Rad inhibited retron function by degrading noncoding RNA, the precursor of msDNA. In summary, we demonstrated that viruses encode at least two independent strategies for overcoming bacterial defense systems: anti-defense, such as Rad, and defense canceler, like tRNA.

Nuclease-NTPase systems use shared molecular features to control bacterial anti-phage defense

Project description:Bacteria encode diverse defense systems including restriction-modification and CRISPR-Cas that cleave nucleic acid to protect against phage infection. Bioinformatic analyses demonstrate many recently identified anti-phage defense operons are comprised of a nuclease and NTPase protein, suggesting additional nucleic acid targeting systems remain to be understood. Here we develop large-scale comparative cell biology and biochemical approaches to analyze 16 nuclease-NTPase systems and define molecular features that control anti-phage defense. Purification, biochemical characterization, and in vitro reconstitution of nucleic acid degradation demonstrates protein–protein complex formation is a shared feature of multi-gene nuclease-NTPase systems. We show that AbpAB, Hachiman, and PD-T4-8 system nucleases use highly degenerate recognition site preferences to enable broad nucleic acid degradation, and the Azaca system exhibits specific phage targeting through the recognition of modified phage genomic DNA. Our results uncover principles of anti-phage defense system function and highlight the mechanistic diversity of nuclease-NTPase systems in bacterial immunity.

The PA3040-PA3042 operon influences biofilm formation and bacteriophage survival in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Bacteriophages (hereafter “phages”) are ubiquitous predators of bacteria in the natural world, but interest is growing in their development into antibacterial therapy as complement or replacement for antibiotics. However, bacteria have evolved a huge variety of anti-phage defense systems allowing them to resist phage lysis to a greater or lesser extent, and in pathogenic bacteria these inevitably impact phage therapy outcomes. In addition to dedicated phage defense systems, some aspects of the general stress response also impact phage susceptibility, but the details of this are not well known. In order to elucidate these factors in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we used the laboratory-conditioned strain PAO1 as host for phage infection experiments as it is naturally poor in dedicated phage defense systems. Screening by transposon insertion sequencing indicated that the uncharacterized operon PA3040-PA3042 was potentially associated with resistance to lytic phages. However, we found that its primary role appeared to be in regulating biofilm formation. Its expression was highly growth-phase dependent and responsive to phage infection and cell envelope stress.

Retron-Eco1 assembles NAD+-hydrolyzing filaments that provide immunity against bacteriophages

Project description:Retrons are toxin-antitoxin systems protecting bacteria against bacteriophages via abortive infection. The Retron-Eco1 antitoxin is formed by a reverse transcriptase (RT) and a non-coding RNA (ncRNA)/multi-copy single-stranded DNA (msDNA) hybrid that neutralizes an uncharacterized toxic effector. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying phage defense remain unknown. Here, we show that the N-glycosidase effector, which belongs to the STIR superfamily, hydrolyzes NAD+ during infection. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis shows that the msDNA stabilizes a filament that cages the effector in a low-activity state in which ADPr, a NAD+ hydrolysis product, is covalently linked to the catalytic E106 residue. Mutations shortening the msDNA induce filament disassembly and the effector’s toxicity, underscoring the msDNA role in immunity. Furthermore, we discovered a phage-encoded Retron-Eco1 inhibitor (U56) that binds ADPr, highlighting the intricate interplay between retron systems and phage evolution. Our work outlines the structural basis of Retron-Eco1 defense, uncovering ADPr’s pivotal role in immunity.
