Project description:Marine picocyanobacteria are abundant photosynthetic organisms of global importance. They coexist in the ocean with cyanophages, viruses that infect cyanobacteria. Cyanophages carry many auxiliary metabolic genes acquired from their hosts that are thought to redirect host metabolism for the phage’s benefit. One such gene is nblA which is present in multiple cyanophage families. Under nutrient deprivation the cyanobacterial NblA is responsible for inducing proteolytic degradation of the phycobilisome, the large cyanobacterial photosynthetic light harvesting complex. Here we characterized cleavages induced in the cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. strain WH8109 upon overexpression of the S-TIP37 cyanophage NblA gene compared to cells without NblA overexpression

Project description:Cyanobacteria are highly abundant in the oceans where they are constantly exposed to lytic viruses. Some viruses are restricted to a narrow host range while others infect a broad range of hosts. It is currently unknown whether broad-host range phages employ the same infection program, or regulate their program in a host-specific manner to accommodate for the different genetic makeup and defense systems of each host. Here we used a combination of microarray and RNA-seq analyses to investigate the interaction of three phylogentically distinct Synechococcus strains, WH7803, WH8102, and WH8109, with the broad-host range T4-like myovirus, Syn9, during infection. Strikingly, we found that the phage led a nearly identical expression program in the three hosts despite considerable differences in host gene content. On the other hand, host responses to infection involved mainly host-specific genes, suggesting variable attempts at defense against infection. A large number of responsive host genes were located in hypervariable genomic islands, substantiating genomic islands as a major axis of phage-bacteria interactions in cyanobacteria. Furthermore, transcriptome analyses and experimental determination of the complete phage promoter map revealed three temporally regulated modules and not two as previously thought for cyanophages. In contrast to T4, an extensive, previously unknown regulatory motif drives expression of early genes and host-like promoters drive middle-gene expression. These promoters are highly conserved among cyanophages and host-like middle promoters extend to other T4-like phages, indicating that the well-known mode of regulation in T4 is not the rule among the broad family of T4-like phages. We investigated the infection process and transcriptional program of the P-TIM40 cyanophage during infection of a Prochlorococcus NATL2A host. The results are discussed in conjunction with results obtained from the infection process for the Syn9 cyanophage in three different Synechococcus hosts: WH7803 (Dufresne et al. 2008), WH8102 (Palenik et al. 2003) and WH8109 (sequenced as part of this study).

Project description:Marine picocyanobacteria are abundant and globally significant photosynthetic organisms that coexist in the ocean with cyanophages, viruses that infect cyanobacteria. Cyanophages carry auxiliary metabolic genes acquired from their hosts, which are thought to reprogram host metabolism to benefit the phage. One such gene is nblA, found across multiple cyanophage families. In cyanobacteria, nblA is responsible for triggering the proteolytic degradation of the phycobilisome—the large light-harvesting complex essential for photosynthesis—under nutrient deprivation. In this study, we characterized the proteomic changes in Synechococcus sp. strain WH8109 following infection with wild-type cyanophage S-TIP37, a T7-like phage isolated from the Red Sea, and compared these changes to those observed with an S-TIP37 mutant lacking the nblA gene.

Project description:We used microarray analysis to investigate whole genome transcriptome dynamics of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus sp. strain MED4 and the T7-like podovirus P-SSP7 over a time course during the 8 hour latent period of lytic infection prior to cell lysis. Manuscript Summary: Interactions between bacterial hosts and their viruses (phages) lead to reciprocal genome evolution through a dynamic co-evolutionary process1-5. Phage-mediated transfer of host genes – often located in genome islands – has had a major impact on microbial evolution1, 4, 6. Furthermore, phage genomes have clearly been shaped by the acquisition of genes from their hosts2, 3, 5. Here we investigate whole-genome expression of a host and phage, the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus and a T7-like cyanophage during lytic infection, to gain insight into these co-evolutionary processes. While most of the phage genome was linearly transcribed over the course of infection, 4 phage-encoded bacterial metabolism genes were part of the same expression cluster, even though they are physically separated on the genome. These genes — encoding photosystem II D1 (psbA), high-light inducible protein (hli), transaldolase (talC) and ribonucleotide reductase (nrd) — are transcribed together with phage DNA replication genes and appear to make up a functional unit involved in energy and deoxynucleotide production needed for phage replication in resource-poor oceans. Also unique to this system was the upregulation of numerous genes in the host during infection. These may be host stress response genes, and/or genes induced by the phage. Many of these host genes are located in genome islands and have homologues in cyanophage genomes. We hypothesize that phage have evolved to utilize upregulated host genes, leading to their stable incorporation into phage genomes and their subsequent transfer back to hosts in genome islands. Thus activation of host genes during infection may be directing the co-evolution of gene content in both host and phage genomes.

Project description:Virulence is a key trait under selection during host-parasite coevolution. In order to obtain increased fitness, parasites are predicted to increase their ability to circumvent and overcome host immunity. A particular challenge for pathogens are external immune systems, found among various invertebrates. Such external immune systems are chemical defence systems comprised of highly potent antimicrobial compounds released by prospective hosts into the environment. We carried out a coevolution experiment with the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, which has a well-documented external immune system. Surprisingly, after just seven transfers of experimental evolution we saw a significant increase in virulence in all B. bassiana. This increase in virulence was mainly the result of the B. bassiana isolates evolving resistance to the external immune defences of the T. castaneum beetles, but not obviously through the increased production of toxins or other harmful substances. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses of B. bassiana RNA-seq data implicates up-regulation of genes responsible for resistance to oxidative stress underlying the observed resistance. We conclude that external immunity acts as a powerful selective force for virulence evolution, with an increase in virulence being achieved apparently entirely by overcoming these defences, most likely due to elevated oxidative stress resistance.
