The type III secretion system secretome of PGPR Pseudomonas fluorescens

ABSTRACT: The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a well-characterized virulence apparatus in pathogenic bacteria, yet its role in beneficial rhizobacteria has remained largely elusive. Using the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 as a model, this study systematically deciphered the secretome of its T3SS. We demonstrate that T3SS in PGPR promotes the secretion of a niche-constructing enzymatic toolkit while actively suppressing the release of proteins conducive to a free-living state. Thus, this work redefines a classic virulence apparatus in mutualism and provides a mechanistic framework for engineering beneficial plant-microbe interactions.

Whole-transcriptome microarray analysis of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae CRAFRU 8.43 and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 grown in apoplast-like conditions supplemented or not with kiwifruit or tomato extract

Project description:Purpose: The outcome of host–pathogen interactions is thought to reflect the offensive and defensive capabilities of both players. When plants interact with Pseudomonas syringae, several well-characterized virulence factors contribute to early bacterial pathogenicity, including the type III secretion system (T3SS), which must be activated by signals from the plant and environment to allow the secretion of virulence effectors. The manner in which these signals regulate T3SS activity is still unclear. Conlusion: the analysis revealed that the perception of plant signals from kiwifruit or tomato extracts anticipates T3SS expression in P. syringae pv. actinidiae compared to apoplast-like conditions

Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network construction

Project description:Pseudomonas syringae, a Gram-negative plant pathogen, infects more than 50 crops with its type III secretion system (T3SS) and causes severe economic losses around the world. Although the mechanisms of virulence-associated regulators of P. syringae T3SS have been studied for decades, the crosstalk and network underlying these regulators are still elusive. Previously, we have individually studied a group of T3SS regulators, including AefR, HrpS, and RhpRS. In the present study, we found 4 new T3SS regulator genes (envZ, ompR, tsiS and phoQ) via transposon-mediated mutagenesis. Two-component systems EnvZ and TsiS natively regulate T3SS. In order to uncover the crosstalk between 16 virulence-associated regulators, (including AefR, AlgU, CvsR, GacA, HrpL, HrpR, HrpS, MgrA, OmpR, PhoP, PilR, PsrA, RhpR, RpoN, TsiR and Vfr) in P. syringae, we mapped an intricate network named PSVnet (Pseudomonas syringae Virulence Regulatory Network) by combining differentially expression genes in RNA-seq and binding loci in ChIP-seq of all regulators.

ChIP-seq for HrpR, HrpS, and HrpL

Project description:The type III secretion system (T3SS) is the main machinery for Pseudomonas syringae and other Gram-negative bacteria to invade plant cells. HrpR/HrpS heterodimer are key factors to activate HrpL which induces all T3SS genes by binding to a ‘hrp box’ in promoters. However, the molecular mechanisms of HrpRS on T3SS or non-T3SS genes have not been fully understood. Following by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq), we found that HrpRSL had 8, 38, and 36 targets on the genome, respectively. HrpS directly bound to the promoter regions of T3SS genes (hrpK1, hrpA2 and hopAJ1) as well as a group of non-T3SS genes (PSPPH_1496, PSPPH_1525, PSPPH_3494 and PSPPH_3495). Subsequent biochemical and genetic assays showed that HrpS independently regulated these genes in a hrpL deletion strain. In addition, a HrpS-binding motif (GTGCCAAA) in the hrpL promoter was identified by truncation, which was verified by EMSA in vitro and lux-reporter assay in vivo. On the contrary, HrpR alone couldn’t activate hrpL. Overall, our results demonstrated that HrpS directly regulated a group of T3SS and non-T3SS genes, which is independent on HrpL. HrpS functions as the center of the regulatory cascade in T3SS. This work deciphered the key HrpRSL-T3SS regulatory network, which provides insights to develop new strategies to control P. syringae infection in the future.

CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis of A549 cells for variants resistant to the ExoU toxin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infection and is responsible for severe acute and chronic infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections and lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. The bacterium possesses a type 3 secretion system whose expression is linked with poor outcomes in both animal models and human patients. In particular, this syringe-like apparatus injects ExoU, the most toxic T3SS effector. However, the mechanism of ExoU in P. aeruginosa’s virulence remains elusive compare to the other T3SS toxins. It was previously suggested that the toxin uses a host trafficking system to reach the plasma membrane and to induce cell necrosis. In this work, we demonstrated that once injected into the cell cytoplasm, ExoU binds to DNAJC5+ vesicles to rapidly reach the plasma membrane.

RNA-seq for polyphenols treated Pseudomonas syringae

Project description:Bacteria use a variety of mechanisms, such as two‐component regulatory systems (TCSs), to rapidly sense and respond to distinct conditions and signals in their host organisms. For example, a type III secretion system (T3SS) is the key determinant of the virulence of the model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and contains the TCS RhpRS as a key regulator. However, the signal sensed by RhpRS remains unknown. We found that RhpRS directly senses plant-generated polyphenols and responds by switching off P. syringae T3SS via crosstalk with alternative histidine kinases. Through a chemical screen, we identified three natural polyphenols (tannic acid, 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloylglucose and epigallocatechin gallate) that induced the expression of the rhpRS operon in a RhpS-dependent manner.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of Burkholderia pseudomallei Bsa Type III secretion system effectors using hyper-secreting mutants

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei is an intracellular pathogen and the causative agent of melioidosis, a severe disease of humans and animals. One of the virulence factors critical for early stages of infection is the Burkholderia secretion apparatus (Bsa) Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS), a molecular syringe that injects bacterial proteins, called effectors, into eukaryotic cells where they subvert cellular functions to the benefit of the bacteria. While the Bsa T3SS itself is known to be important for invasion, intracellular replication, and virulence, only a few genuine effector proteins have been identified and the complete repertoire of proteins secreted by the system has not yet been fully characterised. We constructed a mutant lacking bsaP, a homologue of the T3SS gatekeeper family of proteins that exert control over the timing and magnitude of effector protein secretion. Mutants lacking BsaP, or the T3SS translocon protein BipD, were observed to hyper-secrete the known Bsa effector protein BopE, providing evidence of their role in post-translational control of the Bsa T3SS and representing key reagents for the identification of its secreted substrates. Isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantification (iTRAQ), a gel-free quantitative proteomics technique, was used to compare the secreted protein profiles of the Bsa T3SS hyper-secreting mutants of B. pseudomallei with the isogenic parent strain and a bsaZ mutant incapable of effector protein secretion. Our study provides one of the most comprehensive core secretomes of B. pseudomallei described to date and identified 26 putative Bsa-dependent secreted proteins that may be considered candidate effectors. Two of these proteins, BprD and BapA, were validated as novel effector proteins secreted by the Bsa T3SS of B. pseudomallei.

Plant signals anticipate the induction of the type III secretion system in Pseudomonas syringae 2 pv. actinidiae facilitating efficient temperature-dependent effector translocation

Project description:Disease resistance in plants depends on a molecular dialogue with microbes that involves many known chemical effectors, but the time course of the interaction and the influence of the environment are largely unknown. The outcome of host–pathogen interactions is thought to reflect the offensive and defensive capabilities of both players. When plants interact with Pseudomonas syringae, several well-characterized virulence factors contribute to early bacterial pathogenicity, including the type III secretion system (T3SS), which must be activated by signals from the plant and environment to allow the secretion of virulence effectors. The manner in which these signals regulate T3SS activity is still unclear. Here, we strengthen the paradigm of the plant–pathogen molecular dialogue by addressing overlooked details concerning the timing of interactions, specifically the role of plant signals and temperature on the regulation of bacterial virulence during the first few hours of the interaction. Whole-genome expression profiling after 1 h revealed that the perception of plant signals from kiwifruit or tomato extracts anticipates T3SS expression in P. syringae pv. actinidiae compared to apoplast-like conditions, facilitating more efficient effector transport in planta, as revealed by the induction of a temperature-dependent hypersensitive response in the non-host plant Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0. Our results show that, in the arms race between plants and bacteria, the temperature-dependent timing of bacterial virulence versus the induction of plant defenses is probably one of the fundamental parameters governing the outcome of the interaction.

RNA-seq analysis of Ralstonia solanacearum treated with nitrosative and oxidative stress

Project description:Ralstonia solancearum causes bacterial wilt disease on diverse plant hosts. R. solanacearum cells enter a host from soil or infested water through the roots, then multiply and spread in the water-transporting xylem vessels. Despite the low nutrient content of xylem sap, R. solanacearum grows extremely well inside the host, using denitrification to respire in this hypoxic environment. R. solanacearum growth in planta also depends on the successful deployment of protein effectors into host cells using a Type III Secretion System (T3SS). The T3SS is absolutely required for R. solanacearum virulence, but it is metabolically costly and can trigger host defenses. Thus, the pathogen’s success depends on optimized regulation of the T3SS. We found that a byproduct of denitrification, the toxic free-radical nitric oxide (NO), positively regulates the R. solanacearum T3SS both in vitro and in planta. Using chemical treatments and R. solanacearum mutants with altered NO levels, we show that the expression of a key T3SS regulator is induced by NO in culture. Analyzing the transcriptome of R. solanacearum responding to varying levels of NO both in culture and in planta revealed that the T3SS and effectors were broadly upregulated with increasing levels of NO. This regulation was specific to the T3SS and was not shared by other stressors. Our results suggest that R. solanacearum experiences an NO-rich environment in the plant host and may use this NO as a signal to activate T3SS during infection.

Iron deficiency response of interactions between Brachypodium and Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 under controlled growth conditions.

Project description:The goal of this study was to evaluate the molecular mechanisms by which Brachypodium distachyon grown with and without Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) strain SBW25 respond to Fe deprivation. Fe deprivation induced Brachypodium secretion of phytosiderophores and reduced biomass production while inoculation with P. fluorescens resulted in alterations of extracellular metabolite abundances. Results provide insight into the role of iron in interactions between a host plant and root associated bacteria.

A ParDE toxin-antitoxin system is responsible for maintenance of the Yersinia virulence plasmid, but not for type III secretion-associated growth inhibition

Project description:Many Gram-negative pathogens utilize the type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate virulence-promoting effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells. Activity of this system results in severe reduction of bacterial growth and division, summarized as secretion-associated growth inhibition (SAGI). In Y. enterocolitica, the T3SS and related proteins are encoded on a virulence plasmid. We identified a ParDE-like toxin-antitoxin system on this virulence plasmid in genetic proximity to yopE, encoding a T3SS effector. Effectors are strongly upregulated upon activation of the T3SS, indicating a potential role of the ParDE system in the SAGI or maintenance of the virulence plasmid. Expression of the toxin ParE in trans resulted in reduced growth and elongated bacteria, highly reminiscent of the SAGI. Nevertheless, activity of ParDE is not causal for the SAGI. T3SS activation did not influence ParDE activity; conversely, ParDE had no impact on T3SS assembly or activity itself. However, we found that ParDE ensures presence of the T3SS across bacterial populations by reducing loss of the virulence plasmid, especially under conditions relevant for infection. Despite this effect, a subset of bacteria lost the virulence plasmid and regained the ability to divide under secreting conditions, facilitating the possible emergence of T3SS-negative bacteria in late acute and persistent infections.
