Bacteria can modify their morphology in response to environmental stimuli for survival or host defense evasion. The rich glucose <i>in vivo</i> or in the Luria-Bertani (LB) medium shortened the cell length of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>. The environmental glucose decreased the levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and the transcription of <i>crp</i>, which declined the cAMP-cAMP receptor protein (cAMP-CRP) activity. The cell length of <i>crp</i> deletion mutant was significantly shorter than that of the ...[more]

Project description:Carbapenem-resistantKlebsiella pneumoniae(CR-Kp) is significant threat to public health worldwide. The primary reservoir for CR-Kp is the intestinal tract, where the bacterium is usually present at low density, but can bloom following antibiotic treatment, mostly in hospital settings. The impact of disturbances in the intestinal environment on the fitness, survival, expansion, and drug susceptibility of this pathogen is not well-understood. Nevertheless, gaining such knowledge could lead to innovative intervention strategies for addressing colonization and infection. Here, we adopted anin vivomodel to examine the transcriptional adaptation of a CR-Kp clinical isolate to immune activation in the intestine. We report that as early as 6 hours following host treatment with anti-CD3 antibody, CR-Kp underwent rapid transcriptional changes including downregulation of genes involved in sugar utilization and amino acid biosynthesis, and upregulation of genes involved in amino acid uptake and catabolism, antibiotic resistance, and stress response. In agreement with these findings, the concentration of oxidative species and amino acids was increased in the mouse intestine following treatment. Genes encoding for proteins containing the domain of unknown function (DUF) 1471 were particularly upregulated, however their deletion did not impair CR-Kp fitness in vivoupon immune activation. Transcription factor enrichment analysis identified the global regulator cAMP-Receptor Protein CRP as a potential orchestrator of the observed transcriptional signature. In keeping with the recognized role of CRP in regulating utilization of alternative carbon sources, CRP deletion in CR-Kp resulted in strongly impaired gut colonization, but this effect was not amplified by immune activation. Thus, following intestinal colonization, which occurs in a CRP-dependent manner, CR-Kp can rapidly respond to immune cues by implementing a well-defined and complex transcriptional program whose direct relevance towards bacterial fitness remains cryptic. Further analyses utilizing this model may identify key factors to tackle the intestinal stage of CR-Kp colonization.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of global deaths due to antibiotic resistance. Of particular concern, is the rapid expansion within K. pneumoniae lineages of resistance to beta-lactams, the most prescribed class of antibiotics. Additionally, the environmental factors that influence pathogen physiology and, subsequently, antibiotic resistance remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that physiologically-relevant drops in culture medium pH result in increased antibiotic resistance particularly towards beta-lactams that inhibit cell division. We identified two genes that contribute to acid-dependent beta-lactam resistance, the class A PBP, PBP1b, and the paralogous class B PBP, PBP3PARA. Loss of either gene increases K. pneumoniae susceptibility to beta-lactams at low pH. Our data suggests that functional redundancy among cell wall synthesis enzymes allows for specialization and ensures that cell wall synthesis occurs robustly across a range of pH conditions.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is a human commensal bacterium that causes serious diseases. Peptidoglycan (PG) is the critical component of bacteria that maintains cell shape, size, chaining, and turgor resistance. Because of its surface exposure and eubacterial-specific mechanism of biosynthesis, PG biosynthesis remains an outstanding target for discovery of new antibiotics to resistant “superbugs,” like S. pneumoniae. Pneumococcal PG biosynthesis is carried out by a balance of septal and peripheral (side-wall-like) PG synthesis mediated by bPBP2x and bPBP2b, respectively, that emanates from midcell regions. We selected for additional suppressor mutations, besides mltG, that eliminate the requirement for essential bPBP2b in peripheral PG synthesis. We found that mutations that inactivate a putative RNA binding protein, designated KhpA, suppressed the requirement for some, but not all of the essential proteins required for peripheral PG synthesis. KhpA was used as bait in co-IP experiments to demonstrate interactions with a second RNA binding protein, designated KhpB, in cells. Mutations in khpA or khpB phenocopy each other and result in slower growth rates, smaller cell size with normal aspect ratios, and induction of cell wall stress responses. RIP-Seq analyses confirmed KhpAB as RNA binding protein in cells. Another suppressor of Δpbp2b implicated induction of a cell division operon as a way to bypass the requirement for bPBP2b. We show that increased expression of this cell division operon occurs in ΔkhpAB mutants and that this induction is necessary and sufficient to account for suppression of Δpbp2b. Comparisons of relative transcript amounts and protein levels indicate that induction of this cell division operon in ΔkhpAB mutants occurs primarily at the post-transcriptional level. Together, our results show that KhpAB, which are virulence factors in S. pneumoniae and are conserved in other Gram-positive pathogens, acts as a new class of RNA binding protein, with properties analogous to Hfq in Gram-negative bacteria.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is an opportunistic human pathogen which encodes a single eukaryotic-type Ser/Thr protein kinase StkP and its functional counterpart protein phosphatase PhpP. These signalling enzymes play a crucial role in the coordination of cell division and growth in pneumococcus. In this study, we determined the proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiles of relevant mutants. A comparison with the wild type provided a representative data set of new phosphoacceptor sites and StkP-dependent substrates. StkP phosphorylates key proteins involved in cell division and cell wall biosynthesis in unencapsulated laboratory Rx1 strain as well as encapsulated virulent strain D39. Moreover, we show that StkP plays important role in eliciting an adaptive response induced by cell wall directed antibiotic. Phosphorylation of WalK sensor kinase and decline of the abundance of WalK and proteins of core WalR/K regulon implies cross-talk between StkP and WalR/K two-component system. Inspection of proteome profiles revealed gene clusters regulated by catabolite control mechanism suggesting a tight coupling of carbon flow and cell wall homeostasis. The disbalance of steady-state protein phosphorylation in the mutants as well as after antibiotic treatment is accompanied by accumulation of global Spx regulator indicating Spx-mediated envelope stress response. In summary, StkP translates the sensed signal about the cell-wall status to key cell division and regulatory proteins and in this way controls cell cycle and cell wall homeostasis.

Project description:PcsB is a protein of unknown function that plays a critical role in cell division in Streptococcus pneumoniae and other ovococcus species of Streptococcus. We constructed isogenic sets of mutants expressing different amounts of PcsB in laboratory strain R6 and virulent serotype 2 strain D39 to evaluate its cellular roles. Insertion mutagenesis in parent and pcsB+ merodiploid strains indicated that pcsB is essential in serotype 2 S. pneumoniae. Quantitative Western blotting of wild-type and epitope-tagged PcsB showed that all PcsB was processed into cell-associated and secreted forms of the same molecular mass. These analyses showed that PcsB bound to cells is present in relatively low amounts of only â 300 molecules per cell. Controlled expression and complementation experiments indicated that there was a causative relationship between the severity of defects in cell division and decreasing PcsB amount. These experiments also indicated that perturbations of expression of the upstream mreCD genes did not contribute to the cell division defects of pcsB mutants and that mreCD could readily be deleted in these strains. Unexpectedly, the defects in cell division and cell shape in pcsB mutants or other mutants defective in cell wall biosynthesis, such as dacA, were strongly influenced by capsule. Underexpression of PcsB did not result in changes in the amounts or composition of lactoyl-muropeptides, which were markedly different in the R6 and D39 strains, and there was no correlation between decreased PcsB amount and sensitivity to penicillin. Finally, microarray analyses indicated that underexpression of PcsB may generate a signal that increases expression of the VicRK regulon, which includes pcsB. Four independent hybridizations using independent RNA preparations from the strain IU1533 (reference strain) and strain IU1979 (a strain with decreased expression of PcsB protein) were performed. Dye swap was performed with the reference strain labeled with Cy3 in two hybridizations and Cy5 in the other two hybridizations.

Project description:Background: Mtb's cell wall comprises peptidoglycan, arabinogalactan, and mycolic acids linked to capsule proteins and polysaccharides by noncovalent bonds. Cell division requires extensive remodeling by inserting cell wall-building subunits, which require multiple enzymes to ensure precision and accuracy during the addition and conjugation of biomolecules to the cell wall. Approximately 35% of division and cell wall cluster operon genes are involved in cell wall biosynthesis, 22% in cell division, and 43% are still unstudied. Results: Rv2166c was examined in M. smegmatis, a substitute for M. tuberculosis, using three strains: CRISPR-Cas12a-knockout ∆Ms_4236, complemented ∆Ms_4236::Rv2166c, and pALACE transformed Ms_Vec were grown at 370C in 7H9 or 7H10 to evaluate phenotypic, chemical stress, and antibiotic responses in normoxia and hypoxia. We also examined the whole transcriptome to identify genes associated with MSMEG_4236 deletion of the Rv2166c homolog under normoxia and hypoxia. Deletion and overexpression of Rv2166c affect mycobacterial biofilm formation, cell elongation, colony morphology, and sliding motility in normoxia but are alleviated in hypoxia. Overexpression showed resistance to nucleic acid-target antibiotics, but sensitivity to cell wall-target drugs, yet long-term expression arrests growth. According to transcriptome investigation, the deletion of MSMEG_4236 upregulated all division and cell wall cluster operon genes, several mycolic acids and arabinogalactan biosynthesis genes and downregulated numerous promoters outside of the dcw cluster operon through binding at AAAGTG[G/T] sequence motifs. Conclusion: This study shows that the mycobacterial Rv2166c represses the division and cell wall cluster operon as a transcriptional regulator. Thus, modulating this gene's expression affects many mycobacteria phenotypes and environmental stress resistance. Several AAAGTG[G/T] motifs containing promoters have been found, demonstrating that Rv2166c regulates genes other than its operon. These data suggest that the Rv2166c can be targeted as future antituberculosis medicines.

Project description:Otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis and as well as severe diseases such as meningitis and bacteraemia are related to biofilm-like diseases, in which Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated differential and tissue specific gene expressions. In this study, we reported the differential gene expression profile of early in vitro biofilm and planktonic cell in c-DNA microarray analysis. The microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from biofilms grown in 24-well microtiter plate and mid-log grown planktonic cells. To validate the results of microarray, real-time RT-PCR was performed on 13 differentially expressed genes and one constitutively expressed gene from six different functional groups. cDNA-microarray analyses indicated 89 genes that were significantly differentially expressed in biofilm and planktonic cells. Among total differentially expressed gene, almost 50% were hypothetical genes. Of the 46 protein coding genes, 34 showed up-regulation and 16 showed down-regulation in biofilm. The functional annotation showed that many functional categories were differentially regulated in biofilm and planktonic cells, such as genes involve in purine, pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, RNA/DNA metabolism, amino acid transport and metabolism, translation, transporter protein, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, cell wall biosynthesis, isoprenoid biosynthesis, transcription regulator and cellular process.

Project description:BackgroundPlasmids play an vital role in driving the rapid global spread of antimicrobial resistance and adaptation to changing ambient conditions. It has been suggested that the presence of plasmids can pose tremendous impacts on the host physiology. However, little is known regarding the contributions of carbapenemase-encoding plasmid carriage on the physiology and pathogenicity of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP).ResultsHere we performed a transcriptomic analysis of hvKP with or without carbapenemase-encoding plasmid p24835-NDM5. The results had shown 683 genes with differential expression (false discovery rate, ≤0.001; > 2-fold change), of which 107 were up-regulated and 576 were down-regulated. Gene groups with functions relating to carbohydrate metabolism and multidrug efflux system were increased in genes with increased expression, and those relating to capsule biosynthesis and virulence factors were increased in the genes with decreased expression. In agreement with these changes, survival rate of TfpNDM-hvKP in the presence of normal human serum decreased, and competitive index (CI values) indicated significant fitness defects in the plasmid-carrying hvKP strain when co-cultured with its plasmid-free isogenic ancestor and the ATCC control. Moreover, the p24835-NDM5-containing hvKP strain retained its high neutrophil-mediated phagocytosis and murine lethality.ConclusionThese data indicate that hvKP responds to carbapenemase-encoding plasmid by altering the expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, antibiotic resistance, capsule biosynthesis and virulence expression. Apart from antibiotic resistance selective advantages, carbapenemase-encoding plasmid carriage may also lead to virulence change or adaption to specific habitats in hvKP strain.

Project description:MYB46 functions as a transcriptional switch that turns on the genes necessary for secondary wall biosynthesis. Elucidating the transcriptional regulatory network immediately downstream of MYB46 is crucial to our understanding of the molecular and biochemical processes involved in the biosynthesis and deposition of secondary walls in plants. The transcription factors identified here may include direct activators of secondary wall biosynthesis genes. The current study discovered novel hierarchical relationships among the transcription factors involved in the transcriptional regulation of secondary wall biosynthesis and generated several testable hypotheses.
