Identification of a bile acid-binding transcription factor in Clostridioides difficile using chemical proteomics

Project description:Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that is the leading cause of hospital-acquired gastroenteritis in the US. In the gut milieu, C. difficile encounters microbiota-derived bile acids capable of inhibiting its growth, which are thought to be a mechanism of colonization resistance. While the levels of certain bile acids in the gut correlate with susceptibility to C. difficile infection, their molecular targets in C. difficile remain unknown. In this study, we sought to use chemical proteomics to identify bile acid-interacting proteins in C. difficile. Using photoaffinity bile acid probes and chemical proteomics, we identified a previously uncharacterized MerR family protein, CD3583 (now BapR), as a putative bile acid-sensing transcription regulator. Our data indicate that BapR binds and is stabilized by lithocholic acid (LCA) in C. difficile. Although loss of BapR did not affect C. difficile's sensitivity to LCA, bapR mutant cells elongated more in the presence of LCA than wild-type cells. Transcriptomics revealed that BapR regulates the expression of the gene clusters mdeA-cd3573 and cd0618-cd0616, and cwpV, with the expression of the mdeA-cd3573 locus being specifically de-repressed in the presence of LCA in a BapR-dependent manner. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that BapR directly binds to the mdeA promoter region. Since mdeA is involved in amino acid-related sulfur metabolism and the mdeA-cd3573 locus encodes putative transporters, we propose that BapR senses a gastrointestinal tract-specific small molecule, LCA, as an environmental cue for metabolic adaptation.

c-di-AMP signaling is required for bile salts resistance and long-term colonization by Clostridioides difficile

Project description:In this study, we showed for the first time that c-di-AMP is produced by C. difficile and controls the uptake of potassium, making it essential for growth. We found that c-di-AMP is involved in biofilm formation, cell wall homeostasis, osmotolerance as well as detergent and bile salt resistance in C. difficile. We identified BusR as a new regulator that binds c-di-AMP and represses the expression of the compatible solute transporter BusAA-AB. Interestingly, a busR mutant is highly resistant to a hyperosmotic or bile salt stress compared to the parental strain while a busAA mutant is more susceptible. A short exposure of C. difficile cells to bile salts resulted in a decrease of the c-di-AMP concentrations reinforcing the hypothesis that changes in membrane characteristics due to variations of the cellular turgor or membrane damages constitute a signal for the adjustment of the intracellular c-di-AMP concentration. In a colonization mouse model, a strain producing elevated c-di-AMP concentrations failed to persist in the gut in contrast to the parental strain. Thus, c-di-AMP is a signaling molecule with pleiotropic effects that controls osmolyte uptake to confer osmotolerance and bile salt resistance in C. difficile and that is important for colonization of the host.

Clostridioides difficile responses to calprotectin

Project description:The intestines house a diverse microbiota that must compete for nutrients to survive, but the specific limiting nutrients that control pathogen colonization are not clearly defined. Clostridioides difficile colonization typically requires prior disruption of the microbiota, suggesting that outcompeting commensals for resources is key in establishing C. difficile infection (CDI). The immune protein calprotectin (CP) is released into the gut lumen during CDI to chelate zinc (Zn) and other essential nutrient metals. Yet, the impact of Zn limitation on C. difficile colonization is unknown. To define C. difficile responses to Zn limitation, we performed RNA sequencing on C. difficile exposed to CP. In media with CP, C. difficile upregulated genes involved in metal homeostasis and amino acid metabolism.

Differential view on the bile acids stress response of Clostridioides difficile

Project description:In this study, we aimed at the characterization of C. difficile’s stress response to the main four human bile acids. Although, a phenotypically description of growth differences upon challenge with different bile acids has been described (Lewis 2016, Thanissery 2017), there is no information on the adaptation of gene expression available. We employed a comprehensive proteomics approach to record stress signatures of the unconjugated bile acids CA, CDCA, DCA and LCA in shock experiments as well as during long-term-stress conditions and could depict a general stress response concerning all four bile acids, but also specific responses to only a single or a few of the different bile acids. Our results are a starting point for the understanding of how the individual bile acids cocktail of a patient can decide on the outcome of a C. difficile infection.

Enterococci enhance Clostridioides difficile pathogenesis

Project description:Clostridioides difficile is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens and a global public health threat. Upon colonization of the gastrointestinal tract, C. difficile is exposed to a rapidly changing polymicrobial environment and a dynamic metabolic milieu. Despite the link between the gut microbiota and susceptibility to C. difficile, the impact of synergistic interactions between the microbiota and pathogens on the outcome of infection is largely unknown. Here, we show that microbial cooperation between C. difficile and Enterococcus has a profound impact on the growth, metabolism, and pathogenesis of C. difficile.. Through a process of nutrient restriction and metabolite cross-feeding, E. faecalis shapes the metabolic environment in the gut to enhance C. difficile fitness and increase toxin production. These findings demonstrate that members of the microbiota, such as Enterococcus, have a previously unappreciated impact on C. difficile behavior and virulence.

In vivo commensal control of Clostridioides difficile virulence

Project description:We illustrate how metabolically distinct species of Clostridia can protect against or worsen Clostridioides difficile infection, modulating the pathogen's colonization, growth, and virulence to impact host survival. Gnotobiotic mice colonized with the amino acid fermenter Paraclostridium bifermentans survived infection while mice colonized with the butyrate-producer, Clostridium sardiniense, more rapidly succumbed. Systematic in vivo analyses revealed how each commensal altered the gut nutrient environment, modulating the pathogen's metabolism, regulatory networks, and toxin production. Oral administration of P. bifermentans rescued conventional mice from lethal C. difficile infection via mechanisms identified in specifically colonized mice. Our findings lay the foundation for mechanistically informed therapies to counter C. difficile disease using systems biologic approaches to define host-commensal-pathogen interactions in vivo.
