The Legionella pneumophila genome evolved to accommodate multiple regulatory mechanisms controlled by the CsrA-system

ABSTRACT: The RNA binding protein CsrA is the master regulator of the bi-phasic life cycle of Legionella pneumophila governing virulence expression in this intracellular pathogen. The goal of the study was to use deep sequencing of RNA enriched by co-immunoprecipitation with epitope tagged CsrA to identify CsrA-associated transcripts at the genome level. We found 478 mRNAs or non-coding RNAs to be targets of CsrA. Among those major regulators including FleQ, the regulator of flagella expression, LqsR, the regulator of quorum sensing and RpoS implicated in stress response were identified. The expression of over 40 type IV secreted effector proteins important for intracellular survival and virulence are under the control of CsrA. Combined with transcriptomics, whole shotgun proteomics of a wild type and a CsrA mutant strain and functional analyses of several CsrA-targeted RNAs we identified the first riboswitch in L. pneumophila, a thiamine pyrophosphate riboswitch, and discovered a new mode of regulation by CsrA that allows L. pneumophila to regulate the pentose phosphate pathway and the glycolysis combined or individually although they share genes in a single operon. Our results further underline the indispensable role of CsrA in the life cycle of L. pneumophila and provide new insights into its regulatory roles and mechanisms.

Proteomics identification of CsrA-regulated proteins in Legionella pneumophila

Project description:The carbon storage regulator protein CsrA regulates cellular processes post-transcriptionally by binding to target-RNAs altering translation efficiency and/or their stability. In this dataset we identified proteins regulated by CsrA in the human bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila by labelfree shotgun proteomics. WT and ∆csrA bacteria were grown to exponential phase in three biological replicates. Bacteria were lysed by sonication and extracted proteins were reducted, alkylated and digested with trypsin. The resulting peptide mixtures were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and proteins were identified by the MaxQuant software. In total of 1,448 proteins were quantified by the MaxLFQ algorithm in a labelfree approach. Cluster analysis showed that expression of almost all proteins was affected by the mutation of CsrA as about half of the identified proteins were up and half were down regulated. About 15% of the proteome (238 proteins) was strongly affected with 132 proteins significantly up and 109 significantly down regulated dependent on CsrA.

The pyruvate-tricarboxylic acid cycle node: a focal point of virulence control in the enteric pathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis [csrA mutant]

Project description:Whole transcriptome assessment of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain YPIII. The Y. pseudotuberculosis csrA regulon was determined in Yersinia minimal minimum developed for the study. CsrA is a key regulator coordinating virulence and metabolism. Y. pseudotuberculosis YPIII or the isogenic csrA mutant strain were cultivated at 25M-BM-0C under aeration on a rotary shaker. First pre-cultures were grown in a 1:1 mixture of HAMM-bM-^@M-^Ys F-12 Nutrient Mixture (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, US) and liquid DMEM medium (Biochrom, Berlin, DE). Second pre-cultures and main cultures were grown in a Yersinia minimal medium (YMM). The analysis comprised three biological replicates for each strain. In addition, samples, taken at three different time points of the exponential growth phase, were used to validate constant expression during the cultivation. Total RNA was extracted using SV Total RNA Isolation System (Promega). The samples were treated with RNase-free DNase (Roche Applied Science) and the quality of the RNA was confirmed by the lack of PCR amplification of the hns gene and by using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.

CsrA-controlled proteins important for Acinetobacter baumannii desiccation tolerance

Project description:Hospital environments serve as excellent reservoirs for the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii in part because it is exceptionally tolerant to desiccation. To understand the functional basis this trait, we used transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) to identify genes contributing to desiccation tolerance in A. baumannii strain AB5075. We identified 142 candidate desiccation tolerance genes, one of which encoded the global post-transcriptional regulator CsrA. We characterized CsrA in more detail by using proteomics to identify proteins that were differentially present in wild type and csrA mutant cells. Among these were a predicted universal stress protein A, an iron-containing redox protein, a KGG-domain containing protein, and catalase. Subsequent mutant analysis showed that each of these proteins was required for A. baumannii desiccation tolerance. The amino acid sequence of the KGG-domain containing protein predicts that it is an intrinsically disordered protein. Such proteins are critical for desiccation tolerance of the small animals called tardigrades. This protein also has a repeat nucleic acid binding amino acid motif, suggesting that it may protect A. baumannii DNA from desiccation-induced damage.

Quorum sensing mediates the emergence of peripheral transmissive Legionella within the pathogen vacuole, selective escape and efficient spread

Project description:Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of the severe pneumonia Legionnaires’ disease, replicates in free-living protozoa as well as in macrophages within a distinct compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). switches between a replicative, non-virulent and a motile, virulent phase. The timing, spatial organization, cues and functional consequences of the biphasic life cycle are not well understood. In this study, we show on a single cell level that bacterial clusters within a distinct pathogen vacuole develop spatially organized and functionally distinct subpopulations over time. At late stages of infection (>42 h), individual motile (PflaA-GFP-positive) and virulent (PralF-GFP-positive) L. pneumophila emerged at the periphery of clusters comprising non-growing bacteria. Comparative proteomics of PflaA-GFP-positive and PflaA-GFP-negative L. pneumophila subpopulations revealed distinct proteomes with flagellar proteins or cell division proteins being exclusively produced by the former or the latter, respectively. Towards the end of an infection cycle (~48 h), PflaA-GFP-positive L. pneumophila preferentially escaped the LCV and the bursting host cell, and the motile subpopulation promoted spreading of L. pneumophila. The emergence of peripheral motile L. pneumophila, LCV escape, host cell lysis and spreading of the bacteria to the environment is controlled by the Lqs quorum sensing system. Thus, quorum sensing controls the emergence of a subpopulation of transmissive L. pneumophila at the LCV periphery, and phenotypic heterogeneity underlies the intracellular bi-phasic life cycle of L. pneumophila.
