Project description:Uropathogenic Escherichia coli utilize a variety of adherence factors that assist in colonization of the host urinary tract. TosA (type one secretion) is a non-fimbrial adhesin that is predominately expressed during murine urinary tract infection (UTI), binds to kidney epithelial cells, and promotes survival during invasive infections. The tosRCBDAEF operon encodes the secretory machinery necessary for TosA localization to the E. coli cell surface, as well as the transcriptional regulator TosR. TosR binds upstream of the tos operon and, in a concentration dependent manner, either induces or represses tosA expression. TosR is a member of the PapB family of fimbrial regulators that can participate in crosstalk between fimbrial operons. TosR also binds upstream of the pap operon and suppresses PapA production. However, the scope of TosR-mediated crosstalk is understudied and may be underestimated. To quantify the global effects of TosR-mediated regulation on the E. coli CFT073 genome, we induced expression of tosR, collected mRNA, and performed RNA-Seq. These findings show that production of TosR affected the expression of genes involved with adhesins, including P, F1C, and Auf; nitrate/nitrite transport; microcin secretion; and promoted biofilm formation.

Project description:The features of Mycoplasma in human organ such lung and urinary tract are enigmatic. Here, the role of M. hominis in regard to biofilm formation of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain CFT073 was investigated. Although M. hominis were inferred to not impact on UPEC bacterial fitness including growth and productions of signaling molecules as autoinducer-2 (AI-2) and indole, we found that the presence of M. hominis dramatically decreased biofilm formation of UPEC CFT073 as well as slightly repressed attachment and cytotoxicity of that. Importantly, this activity was observed on UPEC strain specifically, not enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) strain that exists on intestine. Whole-transcriptome profiling and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed PhoPQ system and anti-termination protein (encoded by ybcQ) participates on the reduction of biofilm formation by M. hominis (corroborated by qRT-PCR). Furthermore, collaborating with previous report that toxin-antitoxin (TA) system involved in biofilm formation, M. hominis increased on the transcriptions of toxin genes including hha (toxin gene in Hha-TomB TA system) and pasT (toxin part in PasT-PasI TA system). Hence, we propose that one possible role of M. hominis is to influence bacterial biofilm formation in urinary tract. Only fourteen genes were induced (2.5-fold) by the presence of M. hominis in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) biofilm cells. Among upregulated genes, ybcQ (encodes anti-termination protein Q homolog) and phoP/phoQ (encode DNA-binding response regulators in two-component regulatory system), were induced by the presence of M. hominis. Two-condition experiment, UPEC CFT073 alone vs. UPEC CFT073 with Mycoplasma hominis PG21 (10^5 ccu/ml). For preparing the total RNA, UPEC CFT073 cells were grown at 37°C in biofilm cells on glass wool with or without M. hominis for 24 h.

Project description:We previously determined that loss of respiratory quinol oxidase cytochrome bd disrupts biofilm formation in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). In this study, we extracted and interrogated the outer membrane and extracellular matrix of colony biofilms formed by UPEC isolate UTI89 and an isogenic mutant lacking cytochrome bd (∆cydAB).

Project description:In Staphylococcus aureus, the role of the GGDEF domain containing protein GdpS remains poorly understood. Previous studies reported that gdpS mutant strains had decreased biofilm formation due to changes in icaADBC expression that were independent of cyclic-di-GMP levels. We deleted gdpS in three unrelated S. aureus isolates, and analyzed the resultant mutants for alterations in biofilm formation, metabolism and transcription. Dynamic imaging during biofilm development showed that GdpS inhibited early biofilm formation in only two out of the three strains examined, without affecting bacterial survival. However, quantification of biofilm formation using crystal violet staining revealed that inactivation of gdpS affected biofilm formation in all three studied strains. Extraction of metabolites from S. aureus cells confirmed the absence of cyclic-di-GMP, suggesting that biofilm formation in this species differs from that in other Gram-positive organisms. In addition, targeted mutagenesis demonstrated that the GGDEF domain was not required for GdpS activity. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the vast majority of GGDEF-regulated genes were involved in virulence, metabolism, cell wall biogenesis and eDNA release. Finally, expression of lrgAB or deletion of cidABC in a strain lacking gdpS confirmed the role of GdpS on regulation of eDNA production that occurred without an increase in cell autolysis. In summary, S. aureus GdpS contributes to cell-to-cell interactions during early biofilm formation by influencing expression of lrgAB and cidABC mediated eDNA release. We conclude that GdpS acts as a negative regulator of eDNA release. Three strains UAMS-1, SA113 and SA564 were used in this study to compare wt with gdpS mutant after 5 hours of growth in static conditions (biofilm formation).

During a UTI, bacteria adhere to cells within the urinary tract, using a number of different fimbrial and nonfimbrial adhesins. Biofilms can also develop on the surfaces of catheters, resulting in complications such as blockage. In this work, we further characterized the regulator TosR, which links both adhesin production and biofilm formation and likely plays a crucial function during UTI and disseminated infection.

Project description:Here, we report the comparison of transcriptomes of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and the FurB(Zur) deletion derivative strain (MN38). Anabaena sp PCC7120 is a cyanobacterium that differentiates specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts and that is capable of forming biofilms. Our data showed that the deletion of FurB negativily affected the heterocyst development and the biofilm formation. In addition, the RNA-seq data together with gel retardation assays unveiled that FurB is directly involved in the regulation of several genes related to heterocyst development and biofilm formation and other novel functions different from the ones related to the canonical Zur regulon.
