Project description:Eukaryotic innate immune systems use pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to sense infection by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns, which then triggers an immune response. Bacteria have similarly evolved immunity proteins that sense certain components of their viral predators known as bacteriophages1–6. Although different immunity proteins can recognize distinct phage-encoded triggers, individual bacterial immunity proteins have only been found to sense a single trigger, suggesting a one-to-one relationship between bacterial PRRs and their ligands7–11. Here, we demonstrate that the anti-phage defense protein CapRelSJ46 in Escherichia coli can directly bind and sense two completely unrelated and structurally different proteins using the same sensory domain, with overlapping but distinct interfaces. Here we tried to find the epitope between capRel and gp54 with HDX-MS.

Project description:Anti-CRISPRs (Acrs) are diverse proteins or RNAs that protect invading phages and plasmids from host CRISPR-Cas immunity. Most Acrs neutralize their cognate Cas proteins via direct physical interaction. Here we describe CasPRs, a particularly widespread family of DNA-binding Acrs that recognize specific sequence motifs within cas gene coding regions, thereby blocking RNA polymerase and silencing transcription. We demonstrate that eight diverse CasPRs bind to the cas8b gene to repress the type I-B CRISPR-Cas system in its native host, Listeria seeligeri. Meanwhile, a CasPR from Streptococcus dysgalactiae silences type II-A CRISPR-Cas immunity by binding to the cas9 coding sequence. We found that one CasPR is required to inhibit CRISPR immunity during lysogeny by its host prophage. Taken together, our results indicate that members of the CasPR family have diverged to silence completely unrelated CRISPR types, and suggest transcriptional repression is a common mode of phage-mediated immune antagonism.

Project description:Bacteriophages must overcome diverse bacterial immune systems, yet the molecular principles enabling such escape remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the phage homing endonuclease SegB facilitates immune evasion by promoting the segmental amplification of anti-defense loci. The antiphage defense Septu inhibits phage T6 replication by cleaving the variable loop of tRNATyr. We show that SegB enables immune evasion by amplifying a genomic segment that contains the full-length tRNATyr gene. This repeat expansion increases tRNATyr expression, allowing the phage to overcome Septu immunity. Remarkably, SegB also mediates in trans amplification of distinct anti-defense genes that counteract OLD and toxin-antitoxin ToxIN defense systems. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that SegB-mediated segmental amplification represents a versatile mechanism by which phages rapidly adapt to and circumvent diverse bacterial antiphage defenses.

Project description:To protect themselves against phage infection, bacteria employ diverse defense systems that are typically activated specifically upon infection. However, the mechanisms of activation and self versus non-self discrimination for most systems remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the bacterial immunity protein DARNA, once activated, cleaves a subset of host tRNAs, thereby inhibiting phage propagation. Although phages escape DARNA-mediated defense through mutations in the gene encoding single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), we find that phage SSBs do not directly stimulate DARNA. Instead, DARNA is activated by single-stranded DNA presented by phage SSB, but not by the host SSB. The recognition of an endogenous nucleic acid signal promoted by a viral protein ensures that DARNA can detect and respond to a broad range of viruses while avoiding auto-immunity.

Project description:Host acquisition by bacteriophages (phages) often entails modulation, appropriation, or inhibition of components and processes central to bacterial gene expression. Among these, small non‑coding RNAs (sRNAs) are major regulators of RNA fate and frequently rely on the conserved RNA chaperone Hfq to engage their cognate targets. Although phages are known to encode specialised proteins and sRNAs to manipulate host gene expression, it has remained unclear whether they also co‑opt host‑encoded sRNAs for their own gene regulatory needs. We show that transcriptome‑wide Hfq‑mediated RNA–RNA interactions are broadly destabilised during T2 phage infection of Escherichia coli. We further demonstrate that the conserved bacterial sRNA ArcZ is co-opted by T2 to promote expression of a conserved phage operon that includes a protein inhibiting a bacterial restriction–modification system. ArcZ achieves this by preventing RNase E–mediated degradation of the transcript originating from the phage operon. Our study provides the first evidence of an evolutionary strategy in which a phage leverages a nucleic acid host factor to fulfil its own gene expression requirements.

They were designated as mutator A global transcriptome analysis using microarrays was conducted to determine the difference between parental strain and mutators, and the host responce after adsorption of the phage and the ghost.
