Identification of a sensor histidine kinase (BfcK) controlling biofilm formation in Clostridium acetobutylicum

ABSTRACT: Clostridium acetobutylicum has been extensively exploited to produce biofuels and solvents and its biofilm could dramatically improve its productivities. However, genetic control of C. acetobutylicum biofilm has not been dissected so far. Here, a total of 24 disruptants were finally obtained over several years of attempts. Biofilm formation and physiological phenotypes were characterized for these disruptants and most of them showed robust biofilm formation still, or showed both impaired biofilm formation and cell growth. Only a mutant with a disputed histidine kinase gene (CA_C2730, designated bfcK in this study) abolished biofilm formation without impaired cell growth or solvent production. Phosphoproteomic analysis revealed that bfcK could control C. acetobutylicum flagellar motility at both translational and post-translational (protein phosphorylation) levels. The bfcK also showed apparent regulation of a serine/threonine protein kinase (encoded by CA_C0404) which was involved in protein secretion. Based on these findings, possible bfcK-based mechanisms for biofilm formation in C. acetobutylicum were proposed.

A Serine Sensor for Multicellularity in a Bacterium

Project description:We report the discovery of a simple environmental sensing mechanism for biofilm formation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis that operates without the involvement of a dedicated RNA or protein. Certain serine codons, the four UCN codons, in the gene for the biofilm repressor SinR caused a lowering of SinR levels under biofilm-inducing conditions. Synonymous substitutions of these UCN codons with AGC or AGU impaired biofilm formation and gene expression. Conversely, switching AGC or AGU to UCN codons upregulated biofilm formation. Genome-wide ribosome profiling showed that ribosomes paused longer at UCN codons than at AGC or AGU during biofilm formation. Serine starvation recapitulated the effect of biofilm-inducing conditions on ribosome pausing and SinR production. As serine is one of the first amino acids to be exhausted at the end of exponential phase growth, ribosome pausing at serine codons may be exploited by other microbes in adapting to stationary phase. 4 samples for ribosome profiling and 2 samples for total mRNA profiling

A Serine Sensor for Multicellularity in a Bacterium

Project description:We report the discovery of a simple environmental sensing mechanism for biofilm formation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis that operates without the involvement of a dedicated RNA or protein. Certain serine codons, the four TCN codons, in the gene for the biofilm repressor SinR caused a lowering of SinR levels under biofilm-inducing conditions. Synonymous substitutions of these TCN codons with AGC or AGT impaired biofilm formation and gene expression. Conversely, switching AGC or AGT to TCN codons upregulated biofilm formation. Genome-wide ribosome profiling showed that ribosome density was higher at UCN codons than at AGC or AGU during biofilm formation. Serine starvation recapitulated the effect of biofilm-inducing conditions on ribosome occupancy and SinR production. As serine is one of the first amino acids to be exhausted at the end of exponential phase growth, reduced translation speed at serine codons may be exploited by other microbes in adapting to stationary phase.

Specific deletion of protein phosphatase 6 catalytic subunit in Sertoli cells leads to disruption of spermatogenesis

Project description:Protein phosphatase 6 (PP6) is a member of the PP2A-like subfamily, which plays significant roles in numerous fundamental biological activities. We found that PPP6C plays important roles in male germ cells recently. Spermatogenesis is supported by the Sertoli cells in seminiferous epithelium. In this study, we crossed Ppp6cF/F mice with AMH-Cre mice to gain mutant mice with specific depletion of the Ppp6c gene in the Sertoli cells. We discovered that the PPP6C cKO male mice were absolutely infertile and germ cells were largely lost during spermatogenesis. By combing phosphoproteome with bioinformatics analysis, we showed that the phosphorylation status of β-catenin at S552 (a marker of adherens junctions) was significantly upregulated in mutant mice. Abnormal β-catenin accumulation resulted in impaired testicular junction integrity, thus led to abnormal structure and functions of BTB. Taken together, our study reveals a novel function for PPP6C in male germ cell survival and differentiation by regulating the cell-cell communication through dephosphorylating β-catenin at S552.

Sulforaphane suppresses metastasis of breast cancer cells by targeting RAF/MEK/ERK pathway to inhibit actin stress fiber formation

Project description:SFN, including its two isomers of R-SFN and S-SFN, significantly inhibited TGF-1-induced migration and invasion in MDA-MB-231 cells. Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis showed that SFN affected the formation of cytoskeleton. Subsequent experiments confirmed that SFN significantly inhibited TGF-1-induced actin stress fiber formation and the expression of actin stress fiber formation-associated proteins, including paxillin, IQGAP1, FAK, PAK2, and ROCK.

Role of the SaeRS two-component regulatory system in Staphylococcus epidermidis autolysis and biofilm formation

Project description:Background: Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) has emerged as one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections. The SaeRS two-component signal transduction system (TCS) influences virulence and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus. The deletion of saeR in S. epidermidis results in impaired anaerobic growth and decreased nitrate utilization. However, the regulatory function of SaeRS on biofilm formation and autolysis in S. epidermidis remains unclear. Results: The saeRS genes of SE1457 were deleted by homologous recombination. The saeRS deletion mutant, SE1457DsaeRS, exhibited increased biofilm formation that was disturbed more severely (a 4-fold reduction) by DNase I treatment compared to SE1457 and the complementation strain SE1457saec. Compared to SE1457 and SE1457saec, SE1457DsaeRS showed increased Triton X-100-induced autolysis (approximately 3-fold) and decreased cell viability in planktonic/biofilm states; further, SE1457DsaeRS also released more extracellular DNA (eDNA) in the biofilms. Correlated with the increased autolysis phenotype, the transcription of autolysis-related genes, such as atlE and aae, was increased in SE1457DsaeRS. Whereas the expression of accumulation-associated protein was up-regulated by 1.8-fold in 1457DsaeRS, the expression of an N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase enzyme (encoded by icaA) critical for polysaccharide intercellular adhesion (PIA) synthesis was not affected by the deletion of saeRS. Conclusions: Deletion of saeRS in S. epidermidis resulted in an increase in biofilm-forming ability, which was associated with increased eDNA release and up-regulated Aap expression. The increased eDNA release from SE1457DsaeRS was associated with increased bacterial autolysis and decreased bacterial cell viability in the planktonic/biofilm states.

Total protein of S. aureus treated and untreated with Streptomyces sp. GKU 223

Project description:This study is aimed to isolate marine actinomycetes from sediments from Andaman and the Gulf of Thailand. All 101 marine actinomycetes were screened for anti-biofilm activity. Streptomyces sp. GKU223 showed significantly inhibited biofilm formation of S. aureus. The evaluation of supernatants of anti-biofilm activity produced by Streptomyces sp. GKU223 has been performed. Since the interaction between marine actinomycetes and biofilm forming bacteria has never been investigated, proteomic analysis has been used to identify whole cell proteins involved in anti–biofilm activity. Understanding the interaction at molecular level will lead to sustainably use for anti-biofilm producing marine actinomycetes in pharmaceutical and medicinal applications in the future.

PC4 is a post-transcriptional manipulator of D-type cyclins and centromere proteins

Project description:The cell cycle is an intensively control process, in which cell-cycle proteins display a cyclical expression pattern regulated by specific transcription, translation and degradation. Cell cycle progression is initiated by highly expressed D-type cyclins (D1/2/3) to facilitate DNA synthesis, subsequently driven by mitotic proteins formation (e.g., centromere proteins) that is responsible for mitosis onset. Whether there exist master regulators to keep the cycle rapidly “running” with D-type cyclins induction, as well as maintain the cycle in a stable process by centromere proteins modulation is of particular interest yet remains unclear at present. Here our study clarifies human positive cofactor 4 (PC4) as a previously unrecognized RNA binding protein (RBP), as a post-transcriptional master regulator to orchestrate CCND1 and CENPF expression. We reveal that lack of PC4 reduces CCND1 stability whereas enhances excessive CENPF translation, results in cell cycle arrest and mitotic defects. Furthermore, PC4 RNA binding activity is strictly controlled by S17 phosphorylation and K68 ubiquitination in a cell cycle-dependent way. Lastly, we use in vivo model to verify that PC4 deficiency amplifies response of cancer cells to CDK4/6 inhibitor, and PC4 induction accelerates liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. These results highlight that cell-cycle gene expressions are dynamically and post-transcriptionally fine-tuned, and identify PC4 as an essential cell-cycle post-transcriptional manipulator that is profoundly applied within cancer and regeneration medicine.
