Project description:Gene expression analysis of highly vs. lowly pathogenic P. aeruginosa strains identifies many virulence factors and only a few metabolism genes related to virulence. Functional transcriptomics re-analysis of core metabolism at the pathway level, reveals amino-acid, succinate, citramalate, and chorismate biosynthesis and beta-oxidation as important for full virulence and expression of these pathways indicative of virulence in various strains.

Project description:To assess the role of core metabolism genes in bacterial virulence - independently of their effect on growth - we correlated the genome, the transcriptome and the pathogenicity in flies and mice of 30 fully sequenced Pseudomonas strains. Gene presence correlates robustly with pathogenicity differences among all Pseudomonas species, but not among the P. aeruginosa strains. However, gene expression differences are evident between highly and lowly pathogenic P. aeruginosa strains in multiple virulence factors and a few metabolism genes. Moreover, 16.5%, a noticeable fraction of the core metabolism genes of P. aeruginosa strain PA14 (compared to 8.5% of the non-metabolic genes tested), appear necessary for full virulence when mutated. Most of these virulence-defective core metabolism mutants are compromised in at least one key virulence mechanism independently of auxotrophy. A pathway level analysis of PA14 core metabolism, uncovers beta-oxidation and the biosynthesis of amino-acids, succinate, citramalate, and chorismate to be important for full virulence. Strikingly, the relative expression among P. aeruginosa strains of genes belonging in these metabolic pathways is indicative of their pathogenicity. Thus, P. aeruginosa strain-to-strain virulence variation, remains largely obscure at the genome level, but can be dissected at the pathway level via functional transcriptomics of core metabolism.

Project description:Background: Studying genomic variation in rapidly evolving pathogens potentially enables definition of genes supporting their “core biology” present, functional and expressed by all strains or “flexible biology”, varying between strains. Genes supporting flexible biology may be considered to be “accessory”, whilst the “core” gene set is likely to be important for common features of a pathogen species biology, including virulence on all host genotypes. The wheat-pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici represents one of the most rapidly evolving threats to global food security and was the focus of this study. Results:We constructed a pangenome of 18 European field isolates, with 12 also subjected to RNAseq transcription profiling during infection. Combining this data, we predicted a “core” gene set comprising 9807 sequences which were; (1) present in all isolates; (2) lacking inactivating polymorphisms ; and (3) expressed by all isolates. A large accessory genome, consisting of 45% of the total genes was also defined. We classified genetic and genomic polymorphism at both chromosomal and individual gene scales. Proteins required for essential functions including virulence, had lower-than average sequence variability amongst core genes. Both core and accessory genomes encoded many small, secreted candidate effector proteins that likely interact with plant immunity. Viral vector-mediated transient in planta overexpression of 88 candidates failed to identify any which induced leaf necrosis characteristic of disease. However, functional complementation of a non-pathogenic deletion mutant lacking five core genes, demonstrated that full virulence was restored by re-introduction of the single gene exhibiting least sequence polymorphism and highest expression. Conclusions:These data support the combined use of pangenomics and transcriptomics for defining genes which represent core, and potentially exploitable, weaknesses in rapidly evolving pathogens.

Project description:The core virulence kinase Bud32, which is critical for lung and brain infections, influences the production of major virulence factors in Cryptococcus neoformans, including capsule formation, melanin production, and growth at 37°C. This study explores the role of Bud32 in regulation of iron homeostasis in C. neoformans. Bud32 was required for growth under iron limiting condition. Loss of Bud32 resulted in significant alterations in the expression of proteins related to iron binding and iron-sulfur cluster assembly. Moreover, metabolic profiling identified 696 metabolites that were up-regulated and 480 that were down-regulated in the bud32 deletion mutant, highlighting the significant impact of Bud32 loss on intracellular metabolite levels. In particular, the levels of biliverdin, which is primarily derived from heme, showed a significant decrease in the absence of Bud32. Furthermore, Bud32 has been demonstrated to modulate iron-sulfur cluster assembly, likely influencing the interaction between the iron-sulfur binding protein Grx4 and the iron regulatory factors Cir1 and HapX. Phosphorylation analysis revealed that the deletion of Bud32 caused widespread changes in the phosphorylation status of various proteins, including the iron regulatory factors Cir1 and Rim101. These findings indicate that the Bud32 kinase plays a vital role in regulating iron homeostasis in C. neoformans.

Project description:Type I interferon (IFN) response is the most recognized signaling activity of STING, and IFN signaling is commonly believed to be the major (if not the sole) contributor to STING-mediated anti-viral and anti-cancer responses. Here, we genetically mutated mouse Sting serine 365 residue that is critically required for initiating IFN signaling. Sting-S365A mutation in mice precisely ablated IFN-dependent while preserving IFN-independent activities of STING. To our surprise, StingS365A/S365A mice protected against HSV-1 infection remarkably well, similar to wild type mice, while Sting–/– mice succumbed to infection very quickly. This challenges the current prevailing view and suggests that STING controls HSV-1 infection through IFN-independent activities. Transcriptomic analysis of wild type, Sting–/– and StingS365A/S365A macrophages and T cells stimulated with Sting agonist DMXAA revealed widespread IFN-independent activities of STING in both cell types and identified many T cell effector functions that are activated by STING independently of IFN. In mouse tumor models, we found that T cells in the tumor experience substantial cell death that was in part mediated by STING. Adoptively transferred Sting–/– T cells were more resistant to cell death in the tumor leading to more effective tumor control compared to wild type and StingS365A/S365A T cells. Together, our data demonstrate that mammalian STING possesses widespread IFN-independent activities that are functionally important for restricting Type I interferon (IFN) response is the most recognized signaling activity of STING, and IFN signaling is commonly believed to be the major (if not the sole) contributor to STING-mediated anti-viral and anti-cancer responses.
