Acetylcholine signaling regulates osmotic stress adaptation in the phytopathogen Dickeya solani

ABSTRACT: Plants impose strong selective pressures that shape both the composition and functional potential of plant microbiomes. The adaptation of plant-associated bacteria to their hosts relies on an extensive repertoire of signal transduction systems that sense plant-derived molecules and dynamically adjust bacterial physiology and metabolism within the holobiont. These signals include key plant signaling compounds that regulate processes essential for plant–microbe interactions. Among them, acetylcholine is emerging as an important signaling molecule in both plants and bacteria. Here, we demonstrate that acetylcholine regulates the expression of the osmotic stress response betIBA gene cluster in the phytopathogen Dickeya solani, where it plays an important role in osmoprotection. We show that the TetR-family transcriptional regulator associated with this pathway, BetIDs, recognizes acetylcholine as well as choline and trimethylamine.

The periplasmic oxidoreductase DsbA is required for virulence of the phytopathogen Dickeya solani

Project description:The DsbA oxidoreductase is a crucial factor responsible for introduction of disulfide bonds to the extracytoplasmic proteins in bacteria. A lack of the proper disulfides frequently leads to instability and/or loss of protein function. In pathogens, numerous envelope and extracellular proteins play important roles in pathogenesis; therefore, their improper disulfide bonding may lead to avirulent phenotypes. The importance of the DsbA function in phytopathogens has not been extensively studied yet. Dickeya solani is a bacterium from the Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae group which is responsible for very high economic losses mainly on potato. In recent years, D. solani became the most abundant potato pathogen among Dickeya species in Europe. In this work, using the D. solani dsbA mutant, we demonstrated that a lack of the DsbA function caused loss of virulence. Mutant bacteria were deficient in most secreted virulence determinants and were not able to develop disease symptoms in the natural host, the potato plant. The SWATH-MS-based proteomic analysis revealed that the dbsA mutation led to multifaceted effects in the D. solani cells. First of all, the levels of the majority of plant cell wall degrading enzymes and proteins related to motility and chemotaxis were severely reduced. Furthermore, the protein profiles suggested induction of the envelope and cytoplasm stress responses in the mutant cells. Finally, the outer membrane barrier seemed to be disturbed by the mutation. Our results clearly demonstrate that the function played by the DsbA oxidoreductase is indispensable for D. solani virulence and a lack of DsbA significantly disturbs cellular physiology. A thorough analysis of proteomic research suggests that a lack of virulence may result from both, abnormalities of the disulfide deprived virulence determinants and the envelope stress-dependent repression of the virulence genes in the dsbA mutant.

Lon protease is important for growth under stressful conditions and pathogenicity of the phytopathogen, bacterium Dickeya solani.

Project description:The Lon protein is a protease implicated in virulence of many pathogenic bacteria, including some plant pathogens. However, little is known about the role of Lon in bacteria from genus Dickeya. This group of bacteria include important potato pathogens, with the most aggressive species, D. solani. To determine the importance of Lon for pathogenicity and response to stress conditions of bacteria, we constructed a D. solani Δlon strain. The mutant bacteria showed increased sensitivity to certain stress conditions, in particular osmotic and high-temperature stresses. Furthermore, qPCR analysis showed an increased expression of the lon gene in D. solani under these conditions. The deletion of the lon gene resulted in decreased motility, lower activity of secreted pectinolytic enzymes and finally delayed onset of blackleg symptoms in the potato plants. In the Δlon cells, the altered levels of several proteins, including virulence factors and proteins associated with virulence, were detected by means of MS-SWATCH analysis. These included components of the type III secretion system and proteins involved in bacterial motility. Our results indicate that Lon protease is important for D. solani to withstand stressful conditions and effectively invade the potato plant.

An endogenous auxin network shapes virulence and plant adaptation in Dickeya dadantii

Project description:Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a central phytohormone regulating plant growth and development and is increasingly recognized as an intra- and inter-kingdom signaling molecule that modulates diverse bacterial processes relevant during plant–microbe interactions. While IAA biosynthesis is widespread among plant-associated bacteria, the mechanisms through which this auxin regulates bacterial physiology and virulence, as well as those controlling its production, remain poorly understood. Here, we show that IAA synthesis deficiency in the globally relevant phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii triggers global transcriptional reprogramming and results in reduced virulence and fitness during plant infection. IAA was found to regulate the expression of the AaeXAB efflux pump, which mediates endogenous IAA secretion and confers resistance to plant defense–related phytohormones, including auxin and salicylic acid. This efflux system also contributes to successful plant infection and colonization in D. dadantii. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the AaeXAB pump is commonly present among Pseudomonadota isolated from plant-associated environments. Moreover, IAA deficiency altered the expression of an indole-responsive regulator, suggesting cross-talk between IAA- and indole-mediated signaling networks. Our data also uncover a complex regulatory circuit coordination IAA production in D. dadantii, involving the ExpIR and Vfm quorum-sensing systems and the transcriptional regulators TyrR, TrpR, and LrhA. Collectively, our findings provide new insights into the role of IAA as a bacterial signal promoting plant adaptation and virulence. Targeting IAA biosynthesis and efflux pump activity may offer promising avenues for microbiome engineering and the development of anti-virulence strategies in phytopathogenesis.
