    Pneumoniae CG43

    YjcC, a c-di-GMP Phosphodiesterase Protein, Regulates the Oxidative Stress Response and Virulence of Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43 Ching-Jou Huang1, Zhe-Chong Wang2, Hsi-Yuan Huang3, Hsien-Da Huang2,3, Hwei-Ling Peng1,2* 1 Institute of Molecular Medicine and Biological Technology, National Chiao Tung University, Hsin Chu, Taiwan, Republic of China, 2 Department of Biological Science and Technology, National Chiao Tung University, Hsin Chu, Taiwan, Republic of China, 3 Institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, National Chiao Tung University, Hsin Chu, Taiwan, Republic of China Abstract This study shows that the expression of yjcC, an in vivo expression (IVE) gene, and the stress response regulatory genes soxR, soxS, and rpoS are paraquat inducible in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43. The deletion of rpoS or soxRS decreased yjcC expression, implying an RpoS- or SoxRS-dependent control. After paraquat or H2O2 treatment, the deletion of yjcC reduced bacterial survival. These effects could be complemented by introducing the DyjcC mutant with the YjcC-expression plasmid pJR1. The recombinant protein containing only the YjcC-EAL domain exhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity; overexpression of yjcC has lower levels of cyclic di-GMP. The yjcC deletion mutant also exhibited increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, oxidation damage, and oxidative stress scavenging activity. In addition, the yjcC deletion reduced capsular polysaccharide production in the bacteria, but increased the LD50 in mice, biofilm formation, and type 3 fimbriae major pilin MrkA production. Finally, a comparative transcriptome analysis showed 34 upregulated and 29 downregulated genes with the increased production of YjcC. The activated gene products include glutaredoxin I, thioredoxin, heat shock proteins, chaperone, and MrkHI, and proteins for energy metabolism (transporters, cell surface structure, and transcriptional regulation).

Kumka and Carl E. Bauer* Abstract Background: FNR homologues constitute an important class of transcription factors that control a wide range of anaerobic physiological functions in a number of bacterial species. Since FNR homologues are some of the most pervasive transcription factors, an understanding of their involvement in regulating anaerobic gene expression in different species sheds light on evolutionary similarity and differences. To address this question, we used a combination of high throughput RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq analysis to define the extent of the FnrL regulon in Rhodobacter capsulatus and related our results to that of FnrL in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and FNR in Escherichia coli. Results: Our RNA-seq results show that FnrL affects the expression of 807 genes, which accounts for over 20 % of the Rba. capsulatus genome. ChIP-seq results indicate that 42 of these genes are directly regulated by FnrL. Importantly, this includes genes involved in the synthesis of the anoxygenic photosystem. Similarly, FnrL in Rba. sphaeroides affects 24 % of its genome, however, only 171 genes are differentially expressed in common between two Rhodobacter species, suggesting significant divergence in regulation. Conclusions: We show that FnrL in Rba. capsulatus activates photosynthesis while in Rba. sphaeroides FnrL regulation reported to involve repression of the photosystem. This analysis highlights important differences in transcriptional control of photosynthetic events and other metabolic processes controlled by FnrL orthologues in closely related Rhodobacter species.

    The Escherichia Coli Narl Receiver Domain Regulates Transcription

    Katsir et al. BMC Microbiology (2015) 15:174 DOI 10.1186/s12866-015-0502-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The Escherichia coli NarL receiver domain regulates transcription through promoter specific functions Galit Katsir1,3,4, Michael Jarvis2,5, Martin Phillips1, Zhongcai Ma2,6 and Robert P. Gunsalus2,3* Abstract Background: The Escherichia coli response regulator NarL controls transcription of genes involved in nitrate respiration during anaerobiosis. NarL consists of two domains joined by a linker that wraps around the interdomain interface. Phosphorylation of the NarL N-terminal receiver domain (RD) releases the, otherwise sequestered, C-terminal output domain (OD) that subsequently binds specific DNA promoter sites to repress or activate gene expression. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which the NarL OD and RD function independently to regulate transcription, and the affect of the linker on OD function. Results: NarL OD constructs containing different linker segments were examined for their ability to repress frdA-lacZ or activate narG-lacZ reporter fusion genes. These in vivo expression assays revealed that the NarL OD, in the absence or presence of linker helix α6, constitutively repressed frdA-lacZ expression regardless of nitrate availability. However, the presence of the linker loop α5-α6reversedthisrepressionandalsoshowedimpairedDNAbindingin vitro.The OD alone could not activate narG-lacZ expression; this activity required the presence of the NarL RD. A footprint assay demonstrated that the NarL OD only partially bound recognition sites at the narG promoter, and the binding affinity was increased by the presence of the phosphorylated RD. Analytical ultracentrifugation used to examine domain oligomerization showed that the NarL RD forms dimers in solution while the OD is monomeric.
  • Pleuropneumoniae Gene Expression

    Pleuropneumoniae Gene Expression

    Global Effects of Catecholamines on Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Gene Expression Lu Li, Zhuofei Xu, Yang Zhou, Lili Sun, Ziduo Liu, Huanchun Chen, Rui Zhou* Division of Animal Infectious Diseases in State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China Abstract Bacteria can use mammalian hormones to modulate pathogenic processes that play essential roles in disease development. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important porcine respiratory pathogen causing great economic losses in the pig industry globally. Stress is known to contribute to the outcome of A. pleuropneumoniae infection. To test whether A. pleuropneumoniae could respond to stress hormone catecholamines, gene expression profiles after epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NE) treatment were compared with those from untreated bacteria. The microarray results showed that 158 and 105 genes were differentially expressed in the presence of Epi and NE, respectively. These genes were assigned to various functional categories including many virulence factors. Only 18 genes were regulated by both hormones. These genes included apxIA (the ApxI toxin structural gene), pgaB (involved in biofilm formation), APL_0443 (an autotransporter adhesin) and genes encoding potential hormone receptors such as tyrP2, the ygiY-ygiX (qseC-qseB) operon and narQ-narP (involved in nitrate metabolism). Further investigations demonstrated that cytotoxic activity was enhanced by Epi but repressed by NE in accordance with apxIA gene expression changes. Biofilm formation was not affected by either of the two hormones despite pgaB expression being affected. Adhesion to host cells was induced by NE but not by Epi, suggesting that the hormones affect other putative adhesins in addition to APL_0443. This study revealed that A.

    Prokaryotic Genome Regulation: a Revolutionary Paradigm

    No. 9] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 88 (2012) 485 Review Prokaryotic genome regulation: A revolutionary paradigm † By Akira ISHIHAMA*1, (Communicated by Tasuku HONJO, M.J.A.) Abstract: After determination of the whole genome sequence, the research frontier of bacterial molecular genetics has shifted to reveal the genome regulation under stressful conditions in nature. The gene selectivity of RNA polymerase is modulated after interaction with two groups of regulatory proteins, 7 sigma factors and 300 transcription factors. For identification of regulation targets of transcription factors in Escherichia coli, we have developed Genomic SELEX system and subjected to screening the binding sites of these factors on the genome. The number of regulation targets by a single transcription factor was more than those hitherto recognized, ranging up to hundreds of promoters. The number of transcription factors involved in regulation of a single promoter also increased to as many as 30 regulators. The multi-target transcription factors and the multi-factor promoters were assembled into complex networks of transcription regulation. The most complex network was identified in the regulation cascades of transcription of two master regulators for planktonic growth and biofilm formation.

Abstract The pathogenic properties of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strain 042 results from the synchronised expression of virulence factors, which include the Plasmid Encoded Toxin. Pet is a member of the serine protease autotransporter of the Enterobacteriaceae family and contributes to infection by cleaving α-fodrin, disrupting the actin cytoskeleton of host cells. The expression of Pet is induced by global transcription factor CRP with further enhancement by the nucleoid associated protein Fis. This study identifies the residues of RNA polymerase, Fis and CRP required for the induction of transcription, thereby clarifying the mechanism of activation employed by the transcription factors. Fis activates transcription from the Fis binding site via a direct interaction with RNA polymerase, facilitated by protein specific determinants. This interaction is dependent on the position of the Fis binding site on the DNA and it subsequent orientation on the helical face of the DNA.

Most of the work was carried out at the Department of Biological Chemistry, Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Copenhagen under supervision by Kaj Frank Jensen. Crystallization was carried out at Centre for Crystallographic Studies, Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen under supervision by Eva Johansson. The preliminary work I did on solving the structure was done at Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark under supervision by Pernille Harris. She later finished solving the structure, and a paper on the work is about to be submitted. I thank Eva Johansson and Pernille Harris for teaching me how to make protein crystals and how to solve the structure of them. That has been a very exciting part of the project for me. I also thank Lise Schack for endless help and good company in the laboratory. Finally I thank Kaj Frank Jensen for encouraging supervision. _____________________________________________ Iben Havskov Lauritsen June 2010, Copenhagen ABSTRACT CTP synthase from the extreme thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus has been investigated in several ways in this study. CTP synthase is responsible for de novo synthesis of CTP from UTP. The first part of the reaction is the deamination of glutamine to generate ammonia for the second part of the reaction, the CTP synthesis. This work is mostly focused on the kinetics of the first part of the reaction.

But most of all I feel indebted to Dr. W. A. Craigie, President of the Philological Society, whose advice and assistance have made the publication of this work possible. He has revised the English of my manuscript, and has translated into English such Frisian words as are explained in the Phonology and Grammar. And lastly he has kindly lent a helping hand in the correction of the proof-sheets. May his example be followed by many in showing an interest in the study of my native language, which has been overlooked and neglected for too long a time. P. SIPMA.
