Changes in relative transcript amounts caused by ∆ftsH in Staphylococcus aureus USA300

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen causing skin infection and many serious diseases such as pneumonia, sepsis, and toxic shock syndrome. In the bacterium, the membrane-bound protease FtsH plays important roles in the bacterial resistance to various stresses. This study was initiated to explain the strain-specific aggregation of the ftsH-deletion mutant of the Newman strain. To understand the molecular basis of the phenotype, we identified FtsH substrate proteins by comparing the protein contents of two different strains, Newman and USA300, and found that, in the strain Newman, a single nucleotide change in the sensor histidine kinase saeS gene placed the SaeRS two-component system under the control of FtsH, leading to the strain-specific cell-aggregation phenotype. Not only does our study provide a new methodology for protease-substrate determination but it also demonstrates that even a single nucleotide polymorphism can rewire bacterial regulatory network, resulting in a strain-specific phenotype. Our study shows the pitfall of making sweeping conclusion based on experimental results from a single bacterial strain.

Ribonuclease J modulates cell shape, exotoxin production, and virulence in Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Project description:RNA degradation is a crucial process in bacterial cells for maintaining proper transcriptome homeostasis and coping with changing environments. A specialized ribonuclease known as RNase J (RnJ) participates in mRNA turnover in many Gram-positive bacteria; however, nothing is known about this process in Corynebacterium diphtheriae, nor is the identity of this RNase. We report here that C. diphtheriae DIP1463 encodes a predicted RnJ homolog, comprised of an N-terminal beta-lactamase domain, followed by beta-CASP and C-terminal domains. We show that a recombinant protein encompassing the beta-lactamase domain possessed 5’-exoribonuclease activity, which was abolished by alanine-substitution of conserved catalytic residues His186 and His188. Intriguingly, deletion of DIP1463/rnj in C. diphtheriae caused slow growth and augmented cell width. Comparative RNA-seq analysis revealed that RnJ controls a large regulon encoding many factors predicted to be involved in biosynthesis, regulation, transport, and iron acquisition. One up-regulated gene in ∆rnj mutant is ftsH, coding for the cell division protein FtsH, an inner membrane protease. Interestingly, overexpression of FtsH in the wild-type strain also caused cell-width augmentation. However, unlike the rnj mutant, which was attenuated in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of infection, the FtsH-overexpressing strain exhibited the same virulence phenotype as the wild-type strain. Remarkably, under iron-depleted conditions, production of the exotoxin diphtheria toxin was significantly reduced in the rnj mutant compared to the wild-type strain, likely due to dysregulated secretion of the toxin. Evidently, RNase J is a key ribonuclease that post-transcriptionally influences the expression of factors vital to C. diphtheriae physiology and virulence.

RNA-seq of Lon and FtsH conditional mutants of Mycoplasma pneumoniae under depleting and inducing conditions

Project description:Using Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a model organism, we conditionally depleted the two essential ATP-dependent proteases (Lon and FtsH) of this bacterium, by engineering three strains carrying a Lon and/or FtsH inducible expression locus. An integrative comparative study combining label-free shotgun proteomics and RNA-seq allowed us to decipher the global cellular response to Lon and FtsH depletion and to define protease substrates in this genome-reduced organism.

SaeRS-dependent inhibition of biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus Newman

Project description:The SaeRS two-component regulatory system of Staphylococcus aureus is known to affect the expression of many genes. The SaeS protein is the histidine kinase responsible for phosphorylation of the response regulator SaeR. In S. aureus Newman, the sae system is constitutively expressed due to a point mutation in saeS, relative to other S. aureus strains, which results in substitution of proline for leucine at amino acid 18. Strain Newman is unable to form a robust biofilm and we report here that the biofilm-deficient phenotype is due to the saeSP allele. Replacement of the Newman saeSP with saeSL, or deletion of saeRS, resulted in a biofilm-proficient phenotype. Newman culture supernatants were observed to inhibit biofilm formation by other S. aureus strains, but did not affect biofilm formation by S. epidermidis. Culture supernatants of Newman saeSL or Newman ΔsaeRS had no significant effect on biofilm formation. The inhibitory factor was inactivated by incubation with proteinase K, but survived heating, indicating that the inhibitory protein is heat-stable. The inhibitory protein was found to affect the attachment step in biofilm formation, but had no effect on preformed biofilms. Replacement of saeSL with saeSP in the biofilm-proficient S. aureus USA300 FPR3757 resulted in the loss of biofilm formation. Culture supernatants of USA300 FPR3757 saeSP, did not inhibit biofilm formation by other staphylococci, suggesting that the inhibitory factor is produced but not secreted in the mutant strain. A number of biochemical methods were utilized to isolate the inhibitory protein. Although a number of candidate proteins were identified, none were found to be the actual inhibitor. In an effort to reduce the number of potential inhibitory genes, RNA-Seq analyses were done with wild-type strain Newman and the saeSL and ΔsaeRS mutants. RNA-Seq results indicated that sae regulates many genes that may affect biofilm formation by Newman.

Rhomboid mediates membrane protein quality control as an intramembrane protease and adaptor of AAA protease.

Project description:Magnesium homeostasis is essential for life and depends on magnesium transporters whose activity and ion selectivity need to be tightly controlled. Rhomboid intramembrane proteases pervade the prokaryotic kingdom but their functions are largely elusive. Using proteomics we find that Bacillus subtilis rhomboid protease YqgP interacts with the membrane bound ATP-dependent processive metalloprotease FtsH and cleaves MgtE, the major high-affinity magnesium transporter in B. subtilis. MgtE cleavage by YqgP is potentiated in low magnesium and high manganese or zinc conditions, which protects B. subtilis from Mn2+/ Zn2+ toxicity. The N-terminal cytosolic domain of YqgP binds Mn2+ and Zn2+ and facilitates MgtE cleavage. Independently of its protease activity, YqgP acts as a substrate adaptor for FtsH, which is necessary for degradation of MgtE. YqgP thus unites a protease and pseudoprotease function, which indicates the evolutionary origin of rhomboid pseudoproteases, such as Derlins that are intimately involved in ER associated degradation. Conceptually, the YqgP-FtsH system we describe here is equivalent to a primordial form of ‘ERAD’ in bacteria and exemplifies an ancestral function of rhomboid-superfamily proteins.

The FtsH3 protease is an epistatic master regulator of the iron and phosphate stress responses in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Project description:Regulation of gene expression is a sophisticated process leading to the activation or suppression of genes due to adaptation to environmental stimuli. The membrane-embedded FtsH proteases conserved in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria, are involved in such regulation. The genome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encodes four FtsH homologues FtsH1-4, functioning in the form of oligomeric complexes. Homologue FtsH3 is bound in two hetero-oligomeric complexes, FtsH1/FstH3 and/or FtsH2/FtsH3, respectively. Previous data showed that the FtsH1/FtsH3 complex is involved in the acclimation of cells to iron deficiency by controlling the availability of the transcriptional regulator Fur (Sll0567). To gain more comprehensive insight into the physiological role of FtsH hetero-complexes, we carried out genome-wide expression profiling of a mutant conditionally depleted in FtsH3, grown under nutrient sufficiency and iron depletion. Our results show, that besides Fur, also the SufR and Pho regulons belong to the set of genes controlled by FtsH. Moreover, by combining the transcriptome data with in silico prediction we identified novel targets of Fur in Synechocystis PCC 6803. Fur tends to evoke mostly repression, but also appears to activate some target genes. We monitored the global gene expression in a conditional Synechocystis PCC6083 ftsH knockdown strain (FtsHdown) (Boehm et al., 2012) and a control strain (WT) at standard conditions and at iron depletion. The presence of ammonia to induced the conditional knockdown. Each sample was done in biological replicates.
