A phage-encoded RNA-binding protein inhibits the antiviral activity of a toxin-antitoxin system

Project description:Bacteria harbor diverse mechanisms to defend themselves against their viral predators, bacteriophages. In response, phages can evolve counter-defense systems, most of which remain poorly understood. In T4-like phages, the gene tifA prevents bacterial defense by the type III toxin-antitoxin (TA) system toxIN, but the mechanism by which TifA inhibits toxIN remains unclear. Here, we show that TifA directly binds both the endoribonuclease ToxN and RNA, leading to the formation of a high molecular weight ribonucleoprotein complex in which ToxN is inhibited. The RNA binding activity of TifA is necessary for its interaction with and inhibition of ToxN. Thus, we propose that TifA inhibits ToxN during phage infection by trapping ToxN on cellular RNA, particularly the abundant 16S rRNA, preventing cleavage of phage transcripts. Taken together, our results reveal a novel mechanism underlying inhibition of a phage-defensive RNase toxin by a small, phage-encoded protein.

The phage-encoded protein PIT2 impacts bacterial quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by direct interaction with LasR

Project description:Quorum sensing (QS) is the cell density-dependent virulence factor regulator in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we elucidate PIT2, a phage-encoded inhibitor of the QS regulator LasR, derived from the lytic Pseudomonas phage LMA2. PIT2 inhibits the effectors PrpL and LasA of the type 2 secretion system of P. aeruginosa and attenuates bacterial virulence towards HeLa cells and in Galleria mellonella. Using RNAseq-based differential gene expression analysis, the effect of PIT2 on the LasR regulatory network was revealed. Moreover, the specific interaction between LasR and PIT2 was determined. These data expand our knowledge on phage-encoded modulators of the bacterial metabolism, as this examples an anti-virulence protein derived from a lytic phage. From an applied perspective, this phage protein reveals and exploits an interesting anti-virulence target in P. aeruginosa. As such, it lays the foundation for a new phage-inspired anti-virulence strategy to combat multidrug resistant pathogens and opens the door for SynBio applications.

Phage-encoded sigma factors alter bacterial dormancy

Project description:By entering a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity, dormant microorganisms are able to contend with suboptimal conditions that would otherwise reduce their fitness. In addition, certain types of dormancy like sporulation, can serve as a refuge from parasitic infections. Phages are unable to attach to spores, but their genomes can be entrapped in the resting structures and are able to resume infection upon host germination. Thus, dormancy has the potential to affect both the reproductive and survival components of phage fitness. Here, we characterized the distribution and diversity of sigma factors in nearly 3,500 phage genomes. Homologs of bacterial sigma factors that are responsible for directing transcription during sporulation were preferentially recovered in phages that infect spore-forming hosts. While non-essential for lytic infection, when expressed in Bacillus subtilis, we demonstrate that phage-encoded sigma factors activated sporulation gene networks and reduced spore yield. Our findings suggest that the acquisition of host-like transcriptional regulators may allow phages to manipulate the expression of complex traits, like the transitions involved in bacterial dormancy.

A phage-encoded metallophosphoesterase determines the viral host range and is essential for escaping the anti-phage defense of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:The molecular mechanism by which a mycobacterial virus escapes the host bacterial defense and kills the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis is greatly unclear. Here we report that the gene gp48 of mycobacteriophage A4ZJ24, encoding a metallophosphoesterase-like protein, is required for the killing of M. tuberculosis, but not for M. smegmatis. Gp48 is expressed in the early stage of phage infection and disrupts the mycobacterial chromosomal DNA, and thus silences the expression of multiple anti-phage defensive genes, which only exist in the genome of M. tuberculosis but not in M. smegmatis. The gp48-deleted phage can normally adsorp and invade into M. tuberculosis, however, it does not prevent from activating anti-phage genes, resulting in a loss of its genome DNA replication ability in M. tuberculosis. This study identifies a phage’s metallophosphoesterase as a new determinant of the viral host range and discovered a previously unknown molecular mechanism for mycobacteriophages to kill M. tuberculosis. Our study fills a major gap in current knowledge of the interaction between mycobacterial viruses and M. tuberculosis.

RNA-seq of Clostridioides difficile ∆rpoN mutant against wild-type control

Project description:The experiment intends to reveal the difference in gene expression profiles between the wild-type strain and the ∆rpoN mutant of Clostridioides difficile. We first constructed the ∆rpoN mutant, and the phenotypic changes of the ∆rpoN mutant against the wild-type strain were studied. To further elucidate the mechanism of phenotypic changes of the ∆rpoN mutant, RNA-sequencing experiments were carried out to reveal the underlying mechanism of phenotypic changes.
