Project description:Flagellum plays a crucial role in the invasion process of Salmonella, while also functioning as a significant antigen to trigger host pyroptosis. The regulation of flagella biogenesis is essential for both pathogenicity and immune escape of Salmonella. Here, we identified the conserved and unknown function protein STM0435 as a new flagellar regulator. ∆stm0435 strain exhibit higher pathogenicity in both cellular and animal infection experiments compared to wild-type Salmonella. Conjoint analysis of proteomics and transcriptomics demonstrated that almost all the flagellar genes were dramatically increased in a ∆stm0435 strain compared to wild-type Salmonella. Microscale thermophoresis assay showed that the purified STM0435 protein bound c-di-GMP with a ~194 µM KD affinity. The crystal structures of apo-STM0435 and STM0435&c-di-GMP complex were determined. Structural analysis revealed that R33, R137 and D138 of STM0435 are essential for c-di-GMP binding. Mutant that is unable to bind to c-di-GMP loses its ability to regulate motility, indicating that STM0435 affected the Salmonella flagellar biogenesis process by binding to c-di-GMP.

Project description:Although the ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) plays important roles in various cellular functions including the formation of biofilm in a wide range of bacteria, its function in model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae is largely elusive. In order to test this in P. syringae, we overexpressed a diguanylate cyclase (YedQ) and a phosphodiesterase (YhjH) that are originally from Escherichia coli, resulting in high and low c-di-GMP levels in P. syringae, respectively. Through performing genome-wide RNA sequencing of these two strains, we found that c-di-GMP regulates (i) fliN, fliE and flhA genes, which are associated with flagellar assembly, (ii) alg8 and alg44, which are related to exopolysaccaride biosynthesis pathway, (iii) pvdE, pvdP and pvsA genes, related to siderophore biosynthesis pathway, and (iv) sodA, which is a superoxide dismutase. In particular, we identified five genes sensitive to elevated c-di-GMP level and constructed five luciferase-based reporters that effectively respond to intracellular level of c-di-GMP in P. syringae, which can be used to measure c-di-GMP levels in vivo in the future. Based on the RNA-seq results, phenotypic assays confirmed that c-di-GMP regulated many important biological pathways in P. syringae, such as negative regulation of type III secretion system (T3SS) and motility as well as positive regulation of EPS production, siderophore production and oxidative stress resistance. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that c-di-GMP is closely related to virulence and stress response in P. syringae, suggesting that tuning its level can be a new strategy to protect plants from the attack of this pathogen in the future.

Project description:The cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph2 is a light-dependent diguanylate cyclase producing the second messenger c-di-GMP. Under blue light, the Cph2-dependent increase in the cellular c-di-GMP concentration leads to inhibition of motility in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803. However, the targets of c-di-GMP in this cyanobacterium and its mechanism of action remained unclear. Here, we determined the cellular concentrations of three cyclic nucleotides in wild-type and Δcph2 cells after blue- and green light illumination. Inactivation of the photoreceptor gene completely abolished the blue-light dependent increase in the c-di-GMP content. Microarray analysis revealed that in the wild type in comparison to the Δcph2 mutant, blue light mainly led to a change in accumulation of mRNAs encoding minor pilins, putative chaperone usher pili as well as several chemotaxis regulators. The mRNA encoding the minor pilins pilA5-pilA6 is negatively affected by high c-di GMP content under blue light, whereas the minor pilin encoding operon pilA9-slr2018 accumulates under the same conditions, suggesting opposing functions of the respective gene sets. Based on mutational and gene expression analysis, we further suggest that the second Synechocystis 6803 homolog of a CRP-like transcription factor, SyCRP2, is the regulator of minor pilin gene expression and of putative chaperone usher pili genes slr1667/slr1668. Thus, our work indicates that the Cph2-mediated increase in cellular c-di-GMP concentration upon blue-light illumination specifically changes the transcriptome of Synechocystis 6803.

Project description:Phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria results from stochastic processes or deterministic genetic programs. These deterministic programs often incorporate the versatile second messenger c-di-GMP, and by deploying c-di-GMP metabolizing enzyme(s) asymmetrically during cell division give rise to daughter cells with different c-di-GMP levels. Here, we identify a deterministic c-di-GMP-dependent genetic program that is hardwired into the cell cycle of Myxococcus xanthus to minimize cellular heterogeneity and guarantee the formation of phenotypically similar daughter cells during division. Cells lacking the diguanylate cyclase DmxA have an aberrant motility behaviour. DmxA is recruited to the cell division site and its activity switched on during cytokinesis, resulting in a dramatic but transient increase in the c-di-GMP concentration. During cytokinesis, this c-di-GMP burst ensures the symmetric incorporation and allocation of structural motility proteins and motility regulators at the new cell poles of the two daughters, thereby generating mirror-symmetric, phenotypically similar daughters with correct motility behaviours. These findings suggest a general c-di-GMP-dependent mechanism for minimizing cellular heterogeneity, and demonstrate that bacteria by deploying c-di-GMP metabolizing enzymes to distinct subcellular locations ensure the formation of dissimilar or similar daughter cells.

Project description:As a ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger, c-di-GMP plays key regulatory roles in processes like bacterial motility and transcription regulation. We found that c-di-GMP had impact on lysine acetylation level. To further investigate the regulation role, we performed a quantitative analysis of E. coli acetylome. In addition, we found that CobB is an effective deacetylase of YdeH, a major diguanylate cyclase (DGC) of E.coli that is endogenously acetylated. Mass spectrometry analysis identified YdeH K4 as the major site of acetylation, and it could be deacetylated by CobB.

Project description:The bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP is known to influence the formation of biofilms and thereby persistence of pathogenic and beneficial bacteria in hosts. A previous evolution experiment with Pseudomonas lurida MYb11, occasional symbiont of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, led to the emergence of host-specialized variants with elevated intracellular c-di-GMP. Thus far, the molecular underpinnings of c-di-GMP-mediated host specialization were unknown in this symbiosis. Therefore, the current study aimed at identifying candidate molecular processes by combining transcriptomic and functional genetic analyses. We found that MYb11 host specialists differentially expressed genes related to attachment, motility and biofilm production, including pelD from the pel gene cluster. pelD deletion resulted in reduced intra-host competitive fitness, lower bacterial numbers in C. elegans and loss of biofilm biomass. Our results identify pelD as a previously unknown key modulator of beneficial symbiont-host associations that acts downstream of c-di-GMP.

Project description:C-di-GMP signaling can directly influence bacterial behavior by affecting the functionality of c-di-GMP-binding proteins. In addition, c-di-GMP can exert an indirect and more global effect on gene transcription or translation, e.g. via riboswitches or by binding to transcription factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of changes in intracellular c-di-GMP levels on gene expression and protein production in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We induced c-di-GMP production via an ectopically introduced diguanylate cyclase and recorded the transcriptional, translational as well as proteomic profile of the cells. We demonstrate that rising levels of c-di-GMP in P. aeruginosa under growth conditions otherwise characterized by low c-di-GMP levels immediately cause a switch to a non-motile, auto-aggregative phenotype. This switch became apparent before any c-di-GMP-dependent role on transcription, translation, or protein abundance could be observed. Our results indicate that sudden rises in global c-di-GMP pools affect the P. aeruginosa phenotype via an alteration of protein functionality, rather than an impact on global gene transcription or translation.

Project description:The second messenger c-di-GMP has important functions in response to changing environmental and cellular cues in bacteria. Here, we report the identification of CdbA, a DNA binding protein of the ribbon-helix-helix family in Myxococcus xanthus, and show that it binds c-di-GMP in vitro. CdbA is essential for viability and its depletion caused defects in chromosome organization and segregation resulting in a block in cell division. CdbA binds multiple sites across the M. xanthus genome with moderate sequence specificity; however, its depletion only caused minor changes in transcription. C-di-GMP binding and DNA binding by CdbA are mutually exclusive and substitutions in the CdbA interfaces important for c-di-GMP binding not only abolished c-di-GMP binding but also DNA binding and rendered the mutant proteins non-functional in vivo. Our data are consistent with a model whereby CdbA functions as a nucleoid associated protein to organize the M. xanthus chromosome and the function of CdbA is modulated by c-di-GMP, thus, for the first time, establishing a link between c-di-GMP and chromosome organization and segregation.
