Project description:A Type II VapB14 Antitoxin regulates biofilm dispersal in the archaeal thermoacidophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, not only through traditional Toxin neutralization but also through noncanonical transcriptional regulation. Type II VapC Toxins are ribonucleases that are neutralized by their proteinaceous cognate Type II VapB Antitoxin. VapB Antitoxins have a flexible tail at their C-terminus that covers the Toxin’s active site neutralizing its activity. VapB Antitoxins also have a DNA binding domain at their N-terminus that allows them to not only auto-repress their own promoters but also distal targets. VapB14 Antitoxin gene deletion in S. acidocaldarius stunted biofilm and planktonic growth and increased motility structures (archaella). Conversely, planktonic cells were devoid of archaella in the ΔvapC14 cognate Toxin mutant. VapB14 is highly conserved at both the nucleotide and amino acid levels across the Sulfolobales, extremely unusual for Type II Antitoxins that are typically acquired through horizontal gene transfer. Furthermore, homologs of VapB14 are found across the Crenarchaeota, in some Euryarchaeota, and even bacteria. S. acidocaldarius vapB14 and its homolog in the thermoacidophile Metallosphaera sedula (Msed_0871) were both up-regulated in biofilm cells, supporting the role of the Antitoxin in biofilm regulation. The findings here suggest that a stand-alone VapB-type Antitoxin was the product of selective evolutionary pressure to influence biofilm formation in these archaea, a vital microbial community behavior.

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

Project description:As the number of bacterial genomes and transcriptomes increases, so does the number of newly identified toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems. However, their functional characterization remains challenging, often requiring the use of overexpression vectors that can lead to misinterpretations. To fill this gap, we developed a systematic approach called FASTBAC-Seq (Functional AnalysiS of Toxin–Antitoxin Systems in BACteria by Deep Sequencing). Combining life/death phenotypic selection with next-generation sequencing, FASTBAC-Seq allows the rapid identification of loss-of- function (toxicity) mutations in toxin-encoding genes belonging to TA loci with nucleotide resolution. Here, we apply this new tool to study aapA3/IsoA3, a member of a new family of type I TA systems hosted on the chromosome of the major human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori.

Project description:Rickettsia spp. can cause mild to severe human disease. These intracellular bacteria are associated with arthropods, nematodes and trematodes, and usually, are efficiently transmitted transovarially to the progeny of the invertebrate host. We recently demonstrated foreign gene acquisition by lateral gene transfer in Rickettsia genomes. The unexpected presence of laterally transferred toxin-antitoxin (TA) genetic elements (including vapBC) in several Rickettsia genomes has not been connected with the pathogenic process or the host-bacteria relationship. We suspect that vapBC are selfish genetic elements that addict eukaryotic hosts to Rickettsia. We identified a statistical link between the transovarial transmission of Rickettsia in invertebrate hosts and the presence of TA operons, specifically vapBC, in the Rickettsia genome. These TA are neighboring to type IV secretion genes. Tunel assays and whole-genome expression of infected cells showed that antibiotic eradication of TA-containing Rickettsia from the host in cell culture initiates a proapoptotic program. Rickettsia VapC toxins inhibit the growth of transformed Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rickettsia toxin presents in vitro RNase activity. Annexin-V staining and time-lapse video showed that intracytoplasmic injections of VapC toxins in cells cause apoptosis. These data demonstrate that host cells may develop a dependence on Rickettsia spp. expressing the vapBC operon. This would constitute a new evolutionary “mafia strategy” of intracellular bacteria based on host addiction.

Fresh cells from the human microvascular endothelial cell line (HMEC-1) [26] were infected with R. felis California-2 strain in the presence and absence of antibiotics, at a rate of 5 bacteria per eukaryotic cell. Then, we added or not antibiotics (chloramphenicol 50 M-BM-5g/ml or doxycycline to 40 M-BM-5g/ml) in both experimental (R.felis-infected) and control, mock-infected cells for 6 hours. The cells were harvested and RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). DNA contamination was removed using the Turbo DNA-free Kit (Ambion). RNA were labeled using the Quick Amp Labeling Kit One-color (Agilent) and hybridized onto a Whole Human Genome Microarray, 4x44K (Agilent) as recommended by the manufacturer. Arrays were scanned with DNA Microarray Scanner (Agilent), and data were extracted using Feature Extractor (Agilent).

Project description:Toxin-antitoxins (TAs) are prokaryotic two-gene systems comprised of a toxin neutralised by an antitoxin. Toxin-antitoxin-chaperone (TAC) systems additionally include a SecB-like chaperone that stabilises the antitoxin by recognising its chaperone addiction (ChAD) element. TACs have been shown to mediate antiphage defence, but the mechanisms of viral sensing and restriction are unexplored. Here we tried to find the epitope between SecB and gpV with HDX-MS.

Project description:Type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread genetic modules in bacterial genomes. They express toxic peptides whose overexpression leads to growth arrest or cell death, whereas antitoxins regulate the expression of toxins, acting as labile antisense RNAs. The Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) genome contains and expresses several functional type I TA systems, but their biological functions remain unclear. Here we addressed and challenged experimentally, by proteomics, if a type I TA system, the SprF1/SprG1 pair, influences the overall gene expression in S. aureus. Deleted and complemented S. aureus strains were analyzed for their proteomes, both intracellular and extracellular, during growth. Comparison of intracellular proteomes between the strains points on SprF1 antitoxin as an agent downregulating protein expression. In the strain naturally expressing the SprG1 toxin, cytoplasmic proteins are excreted into the medium, but this is not due to unspecific cell leakages. Such toxin-driven release of the cytoplasmic proteins may modulate the host inflammatory response that, in turn, may amplify the S. aureus infection spread.

Project description:This agent-based model is based on an adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment scenario of two mutually cross feeding strains of bacteria and yeast. The bacterial strain secretes vitamins for which the yeast strain is auxotrophic and the yeast strain secrets amino acids for which the bacterial strain is auxotrophic. In particular, the model simulates a situation where a mutation arises in the bacterial strain that results in the emergence of individuals (mutant bacteria) with a higher secretion of vitamins as compared to the wild type (WT). This increase in secretion comes with a cost in terms of fitness (growth rate) of the mutant bacteria. The model can be used to assess if this mutant is able to persist and increase in frequency in the cross-feeding community.
