Widespread prevalence of a post-translational modification in activation of an essential bacterial DNA damage response

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation plays central roles in diverse cellular processes, ranging from error-correction during replication to regulation of bacterial defense mechanisms. Nevertheless, certain aberrant methylation modifications can have lethal consequences. The mechanisms by which bacteria detect and respond to such damage remain incompletely understood. Here, we discover a highly conserved but previously uncharacterized transcription factor (Cada2), which orchestrates a methylation-dependent adaptive response in Caulobacter. This response operates independently of the SOS response, governs the expression of genes crucial for direct repair, and is essential for surviving methylation-induced damage. Our molecular investigation of Cada2 reveals a cysteine methylation-dependent post-translational modification and mode of action distinct from its E. coli counterpart, a trait conserved across all bacteria harboring a Cada2-like homolog instead. Extending across the bacterial kingdom, our findings support the notion of divergence and co-evolution of adaptive response transcription factors and their corresponding sequence-specific DNA motifs. Despite this diversity, the ubiquitous prevalence of adaptive response regulators underscores the significance of a transcriptional switch, mediated by methylation post-translational modification, in driving a specific and essential bacterial DNA damage response.

Nitrogen regulatory protein C couples nitrogen stress response and stringent response in nitrogen starved Escherichia coli.

Project description:We show that NtrC couples the Ntr stress response and stringent response in N starved E. coli, which appears to be a conserved adaptive strategy employed by many bacteria to manage conditions of nutritional adversity. N starved Escherichia coli initiate the nitrogen regulation (Ntr) stress response as an adaptive mechanism to scavenge for alternative N sources. The Ntr stress response requires the global transcriptional regulator nitrogen regulatory protein C (NtrC). We discovered that the transcription of relA, the key gene responsible for the synthesis of the major effector nucleotide alamorne of the bacterial stringent response, guanosine pentaphosphate (ppGpp), is positively regulated by NtrC in N starved E. coli. we addressed Ntr stress response-ppGpp alarmone links and mapped the genome-wide binding targets of NtrC in E. coli during N starvation using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to gain insight into the NtrC-dependent gene networks. To identify candidate genome regions that are preferentially associated with NtrC, we introduced an in-frame fusion encoding three repeats of the FLAG epitope to the 3-prime end of glnG in E. coli strain NCM3722, a prototrophic E. coli K-12 strain.

Growth control switch by a DNA damage-inducible toxin-antitoxin system in Caulobacter

Project description:Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems (TASs) are thought to respond to various stresses, often inducing growth-arrested (persistent) sub-populations of cells whose housekeeping functions are inhibited. However, it is not always clear whether specific targets of orthologous RNAse toxins are responsible for their phenotypic effect, which has made it difficult to accurately place the multitude of TASs within cellular and adaptive regulatory networks. Here we show that the TAS HigBA can promote and inhibit bacterial growth dependent on the dosage of HigB, a toxin regulated by the DNA damage (SOS) repressor LexA in addition to its antitoxin HigA, and the target selectivity of HigBâs mRNA cleavage activity. HigB reduced the expression of an efflux pump that is toxic to a polarity control mutant, cripples the growth of cells lacking LexA and targets the cell cycle circuitry. Thus, TASs can have outcome switching activity in bacterial adaptive (stress) and systemic (cell cycle) networks. DNA binding of the antitoxin HigA and the SOS regulator LexA was analysed by chromatin immunoprecipitation-deep sequencing, and found to overlap at only one locus, the HigBA TA system promoter

Methylation of Salmonella Typhimurium flagella promotes bacterial adhesion and host cell invasion

Project description:The long external filament of bacterial flagella is composed of several thousand copies of a single protein, flagellin. Here, we explore the role played by lysine methylation of flagellin in Salmonella, which requires the methylase FliB. We show that both flagellins of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, FliC and FljB, are methylated at surface-exposed lysine residues by FliB. A Salmonella Typhimurium mutant deficient in flagellin methylation is outcompeted for gut colonization in a gastroenteritis mouse model, and methylation of flagellin promotes bacterial invasion of epithelial cells in vitro. Lysine methylation increases the surface hydrophobicity of flagellin and enhances flagella-dependent adhesion of Salmonella to phosphatidylcholine vesicles and epithelial cells.

Quantitiave analysis of protein methylome reveals the cellular response to ionizing radiation

Project description:Protein methylation plays important roles in DNA damage signaling. To date, there is still a lack of global profiling of whole-cell methylation changes during the DNA damage response and repair. In this study, using HILIC affinity enrichment combined with MS analysis, we conducted a quantitative analysis of the methylated proteins in HEK293T cells in response to IR-induced DNA damage. In total, 235 distinct methylation sites responding to IR treatment were identified, and 38% of them were previously unknown. Multiple RNA-binding proteins were differentially methylated upon DNA damage stress. Furthermore, we identified 14 novel methylations in DNA damage response-related proteins. Moreover, we validated the function of PARP1 K23 methylation in repairing IR-induced DNA lesions.

Expression profiling of B.subtils ftsZ depletion cells with ftsZ induced or uninduced for 1 or 2hrs.

Project description:The past twenty years have seen tremendous advances in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying bacterial cytokinesis, particularly the composition of the division machinery and the factors controlling its assembly. At the same time, however, we understand very little about the relationship between cell division and other cell cycle events in bacteria. Here we report that inhibiting division in Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus quickly leads to an arrest in the initiation of new rounds of DNA replication followed by a complete arrest in cell growth. Arrested cells are metabolically active but unable to initiate new rounds of either DNA replication or division when shifted to permissive conditions. Inhibiting DNA replication results in entry into a similar quiescent state, in which cells are unable to resume growth or division when returned to permissive conditions. Our findings suggest the presence of two cell cycle control points: one linking division to the initiation of DNA replication and another linking the initiation of DNA replication to division. Significantly, this evidence contradicts the prevailing view of the bacterial cell cycle as a series of coordinated but uncoupled events. Importantly, the terminal nature of the cell cycle arrest validates the bacterial cell cycle machinery as an effective target for antimicrobial development. Four-condition experiment: ftsZ induced for 1hr, ftsZ depleted for 1hr, ftsZ induced for 2hrs, ftsZ depleted for 2hrs. Biological replicates: 3-4 for each sample. Reference: a mixture of wt RNA from different growth phases and wt backgrounds.

Multi omics analysis of adaptation to repeated DNA damage in prostate cancer cells.

Project description:DNA damage is frequently utilized as the basis for cancer therapies; however, resistance to DNA damage remains one of the biggest challenges facing cancer patients and their treating clinicians. Critically, the molecular drivers behind resistance are poorly understood. To address this question, we created an isogenic model of prostate cancer exhibiting more aggressive characteristics to better understand the molecular signatures associated with resistance and metastasis. 22Rv1 cells were repeatedly exposed to DNA damage daily for 6 weeks, similar to patient treatment regimes. Using Illumina MethylationEPIC arrays and RNA-seq, we compared the DNA methylation and transcriptional profiles between the parental 22Rv1 cell line and the lineage exposed to prolonged DNA damage. Here we show that repeated DNA damage drives the molecular evolution of cancer cells to a more aggressive phenotype and identify molecular candidates behind this process. Total DNA methylation was increased in cells exposed to repeated DNA damage. Further, RNA-seq demonstrated these cells had dysregulated expression of genes involved in metabolism and the unfolded protein response (UPR) with ASNS identified as central to this process. While limited overlap between RNA-seq and DNA methylation was evident, OGDHL was identified as altered in both data sets. Utilising a second approach we profiled the proteome in 22Rv1 cells following a single dose of radiotherapy. This analysis also highlighted the UPR in response to DNA damage. Together, these analyses identified dysregulation of metabolism and the UPR and identified ASNS and OGDHL as candidate genes for resistance to DNA damage. This work provides critical insight into molecular changes which may underpin treatment resistance and metastasis.

TGFÎ² confers resistance to radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:Radiotherapy is standard of care for inoperable non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) but adenocarcinoma NSCLC respond more poorly than squamous cell NSCLC. Transforming growth factor Î² (TGFÎ²) activity is induced by radiation and plays a recently recognized role in the DNA damage response. Here we show in murine lung tumor model that radiation activates TGFÎ² acutely and persistently and that TGFÎ² neutralizing antibody, 1D11, systemic treatment increased tumor control following either fractionated or single high dose radiation regimes. TGFÎ² dependent genes in the irradiated tumor indicated crosstalk between innate and adaptive immunity but therapeutic benefit of 1D11 in irradiated tumors in immunocompromised mice suggested that innate immune cells are more influential than the adaptive immune response. Irradiated tumors in which TGFÎ² was blocked were highly hypoxic, exhibit pronounced microvascular damage and promoted neither cancer-associated fibroblasts nor recruit bone marrow derived cells (BMDC). Tumor educated immature BMDC were significant sources of TGFÎ² and inhibiting BMDC recruitment achieved tumor growth control in response to RT comparable to TGFÎ² inhibition. Thus, radiation-induced TGFÎ² both compromises tumor control by RT and promotes reestablishment of the tumor microenvironment. Concordant with the critical role of TGFÎ² activity in RT, radiation resistant NSCLC adenocarcinomas exhibit higher TGFÎ² activity compared to squamous cell NSCLC, which suggests a rationale for using TGFÎ² inhibition to augment radiotherapy. Lewis lung cancer (LLC) model were established in 6 to 8 week-old C57BL/6 female mice by subcutaneous injection. When tumors were 60-80 mm3, Mice were randomized to achieve comparable mean tumor size for each treatment group as indicated below. Tumor growth were monitored and tumors were collected and characterized by gene expression profiling and immunostaining.

StoS and SreKRS iTRAQ profiling

Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a notorious rice pathogen that causes the destructive rice disease bacterial blight. Two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) are widely used by bacteria to sense and adapt to the environment. However, the profound mechanism how the TCSs execute the environmental adaption remains elusive. In this study, genome-wide TCSs gene knockout in Xoo PXO99A found that StoS (stress tolerance-related oxygen sensor) and SreKRS (salt response kinase, regulator, and sensor) positively regulate EPS production and swarming. Surprisingly, the compromise of two important virulence traits and stress resistance did not attenuate the virulence. To better understand intrinsic function of StoS and SreKRS, quantitative proteomic isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was employed. iTRAQ data indicated that carbohydrate metabolisms proteins and chemotaxis proteins, which could be responsible for the EPS and swarming regulation, respectively, were down-regulated in stoS and sreK mutants. Consistent with stoS and sreK mutants exhibiting similar phenotype, the signaling circuits of StoS and SreKRS were found to overlap each other. Moreover, StoS and SreKRS were revealed to moderate expression of the major virulence factor, hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (Hrp) proteins by HrpG-HrpX circuit. Most important, we found that the Xoo strain equipped with StoS and SreKRS outcompete the strain without StoS or SreKRS co-infecting rice and growing outside host. Our findings imply the two TCSs, StoS and SreKRS, could confer environmental fitness on Xoo. Therefore, here we proposed that StoS and SreKRS adopt a novel strategy by moderating Hrp protein expression together with promoting the EPS and motility to adapt to environment.
