Lactonase Specificity is Key to Quorum Quenching in Pseudomonas aeruginosa


ABSTRACT: The human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa orchestrates the expression of many genes in a cell density-dependent manner by using a molecular communication system referred to as quorum sensing (QS). This bacterium uses an intricate network of regulators and QS molecules known as autoinducers. Among these autoinducers are two acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL) involved in QS circuits which modulate virulence factors production, biofilm formation, and antimicrobial sensitivity. Disrupting QS, a strategy referred to as quorum quenching (QQ), is a promising approach to modulate virulence while not directly challenging bacterial survival. For P. aeruginosa, QQ can be achieved using exogenous AHL-degrading lactonases. However, the importance of enzyme specificity on quenching efficacy has never been investigated. Here, we used two lactonases both targeting the signal molecules N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-Homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C12 HSL) and butyryl-homoserine lactone (C4 HSL) albeit with different efficacy on C4 HSL. Interestingly, both lactonases similarly decreased the concentrations of AHL and comparably impacted the expression of AHL-based circuits. Conversely, strong variations were observed in Pseudomonas Quinolone Signal (PQS) regulation. Both lactonases were then found to decrease virulence factors production and biofilm formation in vitro, albeit with different efficiencies. Unexpectedly, only the lactonase with substrate preference for 3-oxo-C12 HSL was able to inhibit P. aeruginosa pathogenicity in vivo in an amoeba infection model. Similarly, large variations between lactonases were observed in proteins involved in antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, virulence and diverse cellular mechanisms. This global analysis provides the first evidence that QQ enzyme specificity is crucial to modulate QS-associated behavior in P. aeruginosa PA14.
