Project description:The global transcriptional regulator Hha of Escherichia coli controls hemolysin activity, biofilm formation, and virulence expressions. Earlier, we have reported that Hha represses initial biofilm formation and disperses biofilms as well as controls prophage excision in E. coli. Since biofilm dispersal is a promising area to control biofilms, here we rewired Hha to control biofilm dispersal and formation. The Hha variant Hha13D6 was obtained to have enhanced biofilm dispersal activity along with increased toxicity compared to wild-type Hha (Hha13D6 induces dispersal 60%, whereas wild-type Hha induces dispersal at early biofilms but not at mature biofilms). Toxic Hha13D6 caused cell death probably by the activation of proteases HslUV, Lon, and PrlC, and deletion of protease gene hslV with overproducing Hh13D6 repressed biofilm dispersal, indicating Hha13D6 induces biofilm dispersal through the activity of protease HslV. Furthermore, another Hha variant Hha24E9 was also obtained to decrease biofilm formation 4-fold compared to wild-type Hha by regulation of gadW, glpT, and phnF. However, the dispersal variant Hha13D6 did not decrease biofilm formation, while the biofilm variant Hha24E9 did not induce biofilm dispersal. Hence, Hha may have evolved two ways in response to environmental factors to control biofilm dispersal and formation, but both controlling mechanisms come from different regulatory systems. For the whole-transcriptome study of BW25113 hha/pCA24N-hha13D6 versus BW25113 hha/pCA24N-hha biofilm dispersal, cells were grown in 250 mL of LB glucose (0.2%) for 16 h at 125 rpm with 10 g of glass wool (Corning Glass Works, Corning, NY, USA) in 1 L Erlenmeyer flasks to form a robust biofilm (Ren et al., 2004) and incubated an additional 1 h with 1 mM IPTG to induce wild-type Hha and Hha13D6. Similarly, for the whole transcriptome study of BW25113 hha/pCA24N-hha24E9 versus BW25113 hha/pCA24N-hha biofilm formation, cells were grown in 250 mL of LB glucose (0.2%) containing 1 mM IPTG for 7 h at 250 rpm with 10 g of glass wool to form biofilms. Biofilm cells were obtained by rinsing and sonicating the glass wool in sterile 0.85% NaCl solution at 0°C, and RNALater buffer® (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) was added to stabilize RNA during the RNA preparation steps. Total RNA was isolated from biofilm cells using a bead beater (Biospec, Bartlesville, OK, USA). cDNA synthesis, fragmentation, and hybridizations to the E. coli GeneChip Genome 2.0 array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA; P/N 511302). Genes were identified as differentially expressed if the expression ratio was higher than the standard deviation: 2.0-fold (induced and repressed) cutoff for Hha13D6 DNA microarrays (standard deviation 1.3-fold) and 10.0-fold (induced) or 4.0-fold (repressed) for Hha24E9 DNA microarrays (standard deviation 4.0-fold), and if the p-value for comparing two chips was less than 0.05.

Project description:Protein phosphorylation has a major role in controlling the life-cycle and infection stages of bacteria. Proteome-wide occurrence of S/T/Y phosphorylation has been reported for many prokaryotic systems. Previously, we reported the phosphoproteome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas putida. In this study, we show the role of S/T phosphorylation of one motility protein, FliC, in regulating multiple surface-associated phenomena of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The absence of phosphorylation in the conserved T27 and S28 residues of flagellin FliC, interestingly, did not affect swimming motility, but affected the secretome of type 2 secretion system (T2SS) and biofilm formation of PAO1. Flagellin phosphomutants had increased levels and activities of type 2 secretome proteins. This occurs by a possible mechanism affecting the secretion efficiency of T2SS machinery. Flagellin phosphomutants also formed reduced biofilm at 24h and had delayed biofilm dispersal under static and dynamic flow conditions, respectively. The levels of type 2 secretome and biofilm formation under static conditions had an inverse correlation. Hence, increase in the levels of type 2 secretome was accompanied by reduced biofilm formation in the flagellin phosphomutants. Altogether, we found a system of phosphorylation that co-ordinately regulates surface related processes such as proteases secretion by T2SS, biofilm formation and dispersal.

Project description:A Type II VapB14 Antitoxin regulates biofilm dispersal in the archaeal thermoacidophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, not only through traditional Toxin neutralization but also through noncanonical transcriptional regulation. Type II VapC Toxins are ribonucleases that are neutralized by their proteinaceous cognate Type II VapB Antitoxin. VapB Antitoxins have a flexible tail at their C-terminus that covers the Toxin’s active site neutralizing its activity. VapB Antitoxins also have a DNA binding domain at their N-terminus that allows them to not only auto-repress their own promoters but also distal targets. VapB14 Antitoxin gene deletion in S. acidocaldarius stunted biofilm and planktonic growth and increased motility structures (archaella). Conversely, planktonic cells were devoid of archaella in the ΔvapC14 cognate Toxin mutant. VapB14 is highly conserved at both the nucleotide and amino acid levels across the Sulfolobales, extremely unusual for Type II Antitoxins that are typically acquired through horizontal gene transfer. Furthermore, homologs of VapB14 are found across the Crenarchaeota, in some Euryarchaeota, and even bacteria. S. acidocaldarius vapB14 and its homolog in the thermoacidophile Metallosphaera sedula (Msed_0871) were both up-regulated in biofilm cells, supporting the role of the Antitoxin in biofilm regulation. The findings here suggest that a stand-alone VapB-type Antitoxin was the product of selective evolutionary pressure to influence biofilm formation in these archaea, a vital microbial community behavior.

Project description:In this study we showed that one PTS of S. mutans is specific for biofilm mode of growth in the presence of sucrose. Our data indicates that this PTS is involved in transport and metabolism of disaccharides and possibly oligosaccharides synthesized by GtfI and GtfSI. Global transcriptional patterns were obtained in different growth modes on specific carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose and nigerose). To assure reproducibility of the data, the cultures were always grown to the same optical density for RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Multiple conditions were analyzed with 2 or 6 replicates for each. Carbohydrate response in different growth modes.

Project description:The rate, timing, and mode of species dispersal is recognized as a key driver of the structure and function of communities of macroorganisms, and may be one ecological process that determines the diversity of microbiomes. Many previous studies have quantified the modes and mechanisms of bacterial motility using monocultures of a few model bacterial species. But most microbes live in multispecies microbial communities, where direct interactions between microbes may inhibit or facilitate dispersal through a number of physical (e.g., hydrodynamic) and biological (e.g., chemotaxis) mechanisms, which remain largely unexplored. Using cheese rinds as a model microbiome, we demonstrate that physical networks created by filamentous fungi can impact the extent of small-scale bacterial dispersal and can shape the composition of microbiomes. From the cheese rind of Saint Nectaire, we serendipitously observed the bacterium Serratia proteamaculans actively spreads on networks formed by the fungus Mucor. By experimentally recreating these pairwise interactions in the lab, we show that Serratia spreads on actively growing and previously established fungal networks. The extent of symbiotic dispersal is dependent on the fungal network: diffuse and fast-growing Mucor networks provide the greatest dispersal facilitation of the Serratia species, while dense and slow-growing Penicillium networks provide limited dispersal facilitation. Fungal-mediated dispersal occurs in closely related Serratia species isolated from other environments, suggesting that this bacterial-fungal interaction is widespread in nature. Both RNA-seq and transposon mutagenesis point to specific molecular mechanisms that play key roles in this bacterial-fungal interaction, including chitin utilization and flagellin biosynthesis. By manipulating the presence and type of fungal networks in multispecies communities, we provide the first evidence that fungal networks shape the composition of bacterial communities, with Mucor networks shifting experimental bacterial communities to complete dominance by motile Proteobacteria. Collectively, our work demonstrates that these strong biophysical interactions between bacterial and fungi can have community-level consequences and may be operating in many other microbiomes.
