Proteomics Analysis Reveals Previously Uncharacterized Virulence Factors in Vibrio proteolyticus

ABSTRACT: Members of the genus Vibrio include many pathogens of humans and marine animals that share genetic information via horizontal gene transfer. Hence, the Vibrio pan-genome carries the potential to establish new pathogenic strains by sharing virulence determinants, many of which have yet to be characterized. Here, we investigated the virulence properties of Vibrio proteolyticus, a Gram-negative marine bacterium previously identified as part of the Vibrio consortium isolated from diseased corals. We found that V. proteolyticus causes actin cytoskeleton rearrangements followed by cell lysis in HeLa cells in a contact independent manner. In search of the responsible virulence factor involved, we determined the V. proteolyticus secretome. This proteomics approach revealed various putative virulence factors, including active type VI secretion systems and effectors with virulence toxin domains; however, these type VI secretion systems were not responsible for the observed cytotoxic effects. Further examination of the V. proteolyticus secretome led us to hypothesize and subsequently demonstrate that a secreted hemolysin, belonging to a previously uncharacterized clan of the leukocidin superfamily, was the toxin responsible for the V. proteolyticus-mediated cytotoxicity in both HeLa cells and macrophages. Clearly, there remains an armory of yet-to-be discovered virulence factors in the Vibrio pan-genome that will undoubtedly provide a wealth of knowledge on how a pathogen can manipulate host cells.

Virulence of Vibrio alginolyticus as determinants of immune outcomes in the oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis

Project description:Vibrio species distribute ubiquitously in marine and coastal environments, with implications for severe infectious diseases in human and marine animals. However, precisely what defensive strategies the host employ against Vibrio pathogens with distinct virulence remain poorly understood. Being an ecologically relevant host, the oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis serves as an excellent model for elucidating mechanisms underlying host-Vibrio interactions. In this study, we generated one mutant Vibrio alginolyticus strains (V. alginolyticus△VSCC) with attenuated virulence by knocking out the VSCC encoding gene, one of the core components of type III secretion systems (T3SSs), based on the evidence that V. alginolyticus△VSCC infection leads to a marked reduction in the apoptotic rate of hemocyte hosts, compared to V. alginolyticusWT control. In comparative proteomics, it was revealed that distinct immune responses were elicited upon encounter with V. alginolyticus strains of different virulence. Quite strikingly, the peroxisomal and apoptotic pathways are activated by V. alginolyticusWT infection, whereas phagocytosis and cell adhesion were enhanced in V. alginolyticus△VSCC infection. Collectively, we conclude that adaptation in host immune responses is determined in part by pathogen virulence, which safeguards elimination of invading bacteria in efficient and timely manners.

Bacterial Secretion Systems Contribute to Rapid Tissue Decay in Button Mushroom Soft Rot Disease

Project description:The soft rot pathogen Janthinobacterium agaricidamnosum causes devastating damage to button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), one of the most cultivated and commercially relevant mushrooms. We previously discovered that this pathogen releases the membrane-disrupting lipopeptide jagaricin. This bacterial toxin, however, could not solely explain the rapid decay of mushroom fruiting bodies, indicating that J. agaricidamnosum implements a more sophisticated infection strategy. In this study, we show that secretion systems play a crucial role in soft rot disease. By mining the genome of J. agaricidamnosum, we identified gene clusters encoding a type I (T1SS), a type II (T2SS), a type III (T3SS), and two type VI secretion systems (T6SS). Through a combination of knockout studies and bioassays, we found that the T2SS and T3SS of J. agaricidamnosum are required for soft rot disease. Furthermore, comparative secretome analysis and activity-guided fractionation identified a number of secreted lytic enzymes responsible for mushroom damage. Our findings regarding the contribution of secretion systems to the disease process expand the current knowledge of bacterial soft rot pathogens and represent a significant stride towards identifying targets for their disarmament with secretion system inhibitors.

OpaR Controls a Network of Downstream Transcription Factors in Vibrio parahaemolyticus BB22

Project description:Vibrio parahaemolyticus an emerging pathogen that is a causative agent of foodborne gastroenteritis when raw or undercooked seafood is consumed. Previous microarray data using a Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633 chip has shown the master quorum-sensing regulator OpaR controls virulence, type III and type VI secretion systems, and flagellar and capsule production genes. In a parallel study, RNA-Seq was used to comparatively study the transcriptome changes of wild type Vibrio parahaemolyticus BB22 and a ΔopaR strain directly. Differences in mRNA expression were analyzed using next generation Illumina sequencing and bioinformatics techniques to align and count reads. A comparison with the previous microarray data showed good correlation between the shared genes. The RNA-Seq offered an insight into control of genes specific to the Vibrio parahaemolyticus BB22 strain as well as a new look at the sRNAs that are expressed. Eleven transcriptional regulators with greater than 4 fold regulation in the previous microarray study and 2 fold regulation in the RNA-Seq analysis, were chosen to validate the data using qRT-PCR and further characterized with electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) to determine if they are direct targets of OpaR. The transcription factors chosen play key roles in virulence, surface motility, cell to cell interactions, and cell surface characteristics. One small RNA was identified in the RNA-Seq data to be quorum-sensing controlled and unidentified by other programs. The RNA-Seq data has aided in understanding and elucidating the hierarchy of quorum-sensing control of OpaR in Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The wild type Vibrio parahaemolyticus BB22 strain LM5312 and an opaR deletion strain LM5674 were analyzed for mRNA expression using RNA-Seq.

Analysis of physiological and gene expression changes related to Vibrio harveyi adaptation in the time of global warming

Project description:Vibrio species represent one of the most diverse genera of marine bacteria known for their ubiquitous presence in natural aquatic systems. Several members of this genus including Vibrio harveyi are receiving increasing attention lately because they are becoming a source of health problems, especially for some marine organisms widely used in sea food industry. To learn about adaptation changes triggered by V. harveyi during its long-term persistence at elevated temperatures, we studied adaptation of this marine bacterium in sea water microcosms at 30 oC that closely mimicks the upper limits of sea surface temperatures recorded around the globe.

Host-derived O-glycans inhibit toxigenic conversion by a virulence-encoding phage in Vibrio cholerae

Project description:Pandemic and endemic strains of Vibrio cholerae arise from toxigenic conversion by the CTXφ bacteriophage, a process by which CTXφ infects non-toxigenic strains of V. cholerae. CTXφ encodes the cholera toxin, an enterotoxin responsible for the watery diarrhea associated with cholera infections. Despite the critical role of CTXφ during infections, signals that affect CTXφ-driven toxigenic conversion or expression of the CTXφ-encoded cholera toxin remain poorly characterized, particularly in the context of the gut mucosa. Here, we identify mucin polymers as potent regulators of CTXφ-driven pathogenicity in V. cholerae. Our results indicate that mucin-associated O-glycans block toxigenic conversion by CTXφ and suppress the expression of CTXφ-related virulence factors, including the toxin co-regulated pilus and cholera toxin, by interfering with the TcpP/ToxR/ToxT virulence pathway. By synthesizing individual mucin glycan structures de novo, we identify the Core 2 motif as the critical structure governing this virulence attenuation. Overall, our results highlight a novel mechanism by which mucins and their associated O-glycan structures affect CTXφ-mediated evolution and pathogenicity of V. cholerae, underscoring the potential regulatory power housed within mucus.

Phosphorylation of CFP10 modulates Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulence

Project description:Virulence effectors secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) help subvert host immune mechanisms and, therefore, are critical for establishing infection and pathogenesis. However, knowledge in terms of signaling mechanisms that modulate the secretion of virulence factors is sparse. We performed high-throughput secretome, phosphoproteome, and phospho-secretome analysis of Mtb. We combined the analysis with empirical validations to show regulation of mycobacterial secretion through protein phosphorylation. System level PPI network analysis superimposed with the secretome, phosphoproteome, and phospho-secretome profile revealed an intricate relationship between phosphorylation and secretion. At the core of the network was a key virulence factor CFP10. We identified PknA to be the kinase responsible for phosphorylating CFP10. Using genetic tools, we show that phosphomimetic mutation of CFP10 negatively regulates the secretion of virulence mediator ESAT6. Significantly, the dynamics of CFP10 phosphorylation strongly influenced bacterial virulence and survival within macrophages and mice. Together, the results show that the dynamic phosphorylation status of the secretory protein CFP10 regulates the secretion of virulence factors and impacts virulence.
