ABSTRACTThe two-component system CBO0366/CBO0365 was recently demonstrated to have a role in cold tolerance of group IClostridium botulinumATCC 3502. The mechanisms under its control, ultimately resulting in increased sensitivity to low temperature, are unknown. A transcriptomic analysis with DNA microarrays was performed to identify the differences in global gene expression patterns of the wild-type ATCC 3502 and a derivative mutant with insertionally inactivatedcbo0365at 37 and 15°C. Altogether, 150 or 141 chromosomal coding sequences (CDSs) were found to be differently expressed in thecbo0365mutant at 37 or 15°C, respectively, and thus considered to be under the direct or indirect transcriptional control of the response regulator CBO0365. Of the differentially expressed CDSs, expression of 141 CDSs was similarly affected at both temperatures investigated, suggesting that the putative CBO0365 regulon was practically not affected by temperature. The regulon involved genes related to acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, motility, arsenic resistance, and phosphate uptake and transport. Deteriorated growth at 17°C was observed for mutants with disrupted ABE fermentation pathway components (crt,bcd,bdh, andctfA), arsenic detoxifying machinery components (arsCandarsR), or phosphate uptake mechanism components (phoT), suggesting roles for these mechanisms in cold tolerance of group IC. botulinum. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed recombinant CBO0365 to bind to the promoter regions ofcrt,arsR, andphoT, as well as to the promoter region of its own operon, suggesting direct DNA-binding transcriptional activation or repression as a means for CBO0365 in regulating these operons. The results provide insight to the mechanisms group IC. botulinumutilizes in coping with cold.

Biological Cost

Particular interest in fosfomycin has resurfaced because it is a highly beneficial antibiotic for the treatment of refractory infectious diseases caused by pathogens that are resistant to other commonly used antibiotics. The biological cost to cells of resistance to fosfomycin because of chromosomal mutation is high. We previously found that a bacterial two-component system, CpxAR, induces fosfomycin tolerance in enterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli(EHEC) O157:H7. This mechanism does not rely on irreversible genetic modification and allows EHEC to relieve the fitness burden that results from fosfomycin resistance in the absence of fosfomycin. Here we show that another two-component system, TorSRT, which was originally characterized as a regulatory system for anaerobic respiration utilizing trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), also induces fosfomycin tolerance. Activation of the Tor regulatory pathway by overexpression oftorR, which encodes the response regulator, or addition of TMAO increased fosfomycin tolerance in EHEC. We also show that phosphorylated TorR directly represses the expression ofglpT, a gene that encodes a symporter of fosfomycin and glycerol-3-phosphate, and activation of the TorR protein results in the reduced uptake of fosfomycin by cells. However, cells in which the Tor pathway was activated had an impaired growth phenotype when cultured with glycerol-3-phosphate as a carbon substrate. These observations suggest that the TorSRT pathway is the second two-component system to reversibly control fosfomycin tolerance and glycerol-3-phosphate uptake in EHEC, and this may be beneficial for bacteria by alleviating the biological cost. We expect that this mechanism could be a potential target to enhance the utility of fosfomycin as chemotherapy against multidrug-resistant pathogens.

ABSTRACTBioprocesses conducted under conditions with restricted O2supply are increasingly exploited for the synthesis of reduced biochemicals using different biocatalysts. The model facultative anaerobeEscherichia colihas elaborate sensing and signal transduction mechanisms for redox control in response to the availability of O2and other electron acceptors. The ArcBA two-component system consists of ArcB, a membrane-associated sensor kinase, and ArcA, the cognate response regulator. The tripartite hybrid kinase ArcB possesses a transmembrane, a PAS, a primary transmitter (H1), a receiver (D1), and a phosphotransfer (H2) domain. Metabolic fluxes were compared under anoxic conditions in a wild-typeE. colistrain, its ΔarcBderivative, and two partialarcBdeletion mutants in which ArcB lacked either the H1 domain or the PAS-H1-D1 domains. These analyses revealed that elimination of different segments in ArcB determines a distinctive distribution ofd-glucose catabolic fluxes, different from that observed in the ΔarcBbackground. Metabolite profiles, enzyme activity levels, and gene expression patterns were also investigated in these strains. Relevant alterations were observed at the P-enol-pyruvate/pyruvate and acetyl coenzyme A metabolic nodes, and the formation of reduced fermentation metabolites, such as succinate,d-lactate, and ethanol, was favored in the mutant strains to different extents compared to the wild-type strain. These phenotypic traits were associated with altered levels of the enzymatic activities operating at these nodes, as well as with elevated NADH/NAD+ratios. Thus, targeted modification of global regulators to obtain different metabolic flux distributions under anoxic conditions is emerging as an attractive tool for metabolic engineering purposes.

ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureussubverts innate defenses during infection in part by killing host immune cells to exacerbate disease. This human pathogen intercepts host cues and activates a transcriptional response via theS. aureusexoprotein expression (SaeR/SaeS [SaeR/S]) two-component system to secrete virulence factors critical for pathogenesis. We recently showed that the transcriptional repressor CodY adjusts nuclease (nuc) gene expression via SaeR/S, but the mechanism remained unknown. Here, we identified two CodY binding motifs upstream of thesaeP1 promoter, which suggested direct regulation by this global regulator. We show that CodY shares a binding site with the positive activator SaeR and that alleviating direct CodY repression at this site is sufficient to abrogate stochastic expression, suggesting that CodY repressessaeexpression by blocking SaeR binding. Epistasis experiments support a model that CodY also controlssaeindirectly through Agr and Rot-mediated repression of thesaeP1 promoter. We also demonstrate that CodY repression ofsaerestrains production of secreted cytotoxins that kill human neutrophils. We conclude that CodY plays a previously unrecognized role in controlling virulence gene expression via SaeR/S and suggest a mechanism by which CodY acts as a master regulator of pathogenesis by tying nutrient availability to virulence gene expression.IMPORTANCEBacterial mechanisms that mediate the switch from a commensal to pathogenic lifestyle are among the biggest unanswered questions in infectious disease research. Since the expression of most virulence genes is often correlated with nutrient depletion, this implies that virulence is a response to the lack of nourishment in host tissues and that pathogens likeS. aureusproduce virulence factors in order to gain access to nutrients in the host. Here, we show that specific nutrient depletion signals appear to be funneled to the SaeR/S system through the global regulator CodY. Our findings reveal a strategy by whichS. aureusdelays the production of immune evasion and immune-cell-killing proteins until key nutrients are depleted.

ABSTRACTThe Kdp system is widely distributed among bacteria. InEscherichia coli, the Kdp-ATPase is a high-affinity K+uptake system and its expression is activated by the KdpDE two-component system in response to K+limitation or salt stress. However, information about the role of this system in many bacteria still remains obscure. Here we demonstrate that KdpFABC inStaphylococcus aureusis not a major K+transporter and that the main function of KdpDE is not associated with K+transport but that instead it regulates transcription for a series of virulence factors through sensing external K+concentrations, indicating that this bacterium might modulate its infectious status through sensing specific external K+stimuli in different environments. Our results further reveal thatS. aureusKdpDE is upregulated by the Agr/RNAIII system, which suggests that KdpDE may be an important virulence regulator coordinating the external K+sensing and Agr signaling during pathogenesis in this bacterium.

ABSTRACTThe different strains ofBacillus cereuscan grow at temperatures covering a very diverse range. SomeB. cereusstrains can grow in chilled food and consequently cause food poisoning. We have identified a new sensor/regulator mechanism involved in low-temperatureB. cereusgrowth. Construction of a mutant of this two-component system enabled us to show that this system, called CasKR, is required for growth at the minimal temperature (Tmin). CasKR was also involved in optimal cold growth aboveTminand in cell survival belowTmin. Microscopic observation showed that CasKR plays a key role in cell shape during cold growth. Introducing thecasKRgenes in a ΔcasKRmutant restored its ability to grow atTmin. Although it was first identified in the ATCC 14579 model strain, this mechanism has been conserved in most strains of theB. cereusgroup. We show that the role of CasKR in cold growth is similar in otherB. cereus sensu latostrains with different growth temperature ranges, including psychrotolerant strains.

ABSTRACTInPseudomonas putidaKT2440, two pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent ethanol dehydrogenases (PQQ-EDHs) are responsible for the periplasmic oxidation of a broad variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Depending on the availability of rare earth elements (REEs) of the lanthanide series (Ln3+), we have recently reported that the transcription of the genes encoding the Ca2+-utilizing enzyme PedE and the Ln3+-utilizing enzyme PedH are inversely regulated. With adaptive evolution experiments, site-specific mutations, transcriptional reporter fusions, and complementation approaches, we now demonstrate that the PedS2/PedR2 (PP_2671/PP_2672) two-component system (TCS) plays a central role in the observed REE-mediated switch of PQQ-EDHs inP. putida. We provide evidence that in the absence of lanthanum (La3+), the sensor histidine kinase PedS2 phosphorylates its cognate LuxR-type response regulator PedR2, which in turn not only activatespedEgene transcription but is also involved in repression ofpedH. Our data further suggest that the presence of La3+lowers kinase activity of PedS2, either by the direct binding of the metal ions to the periplasmic region of PedS2 or by an uncharacterized indirect interaction, leading to reduced levels of phosphorylated PedR2. Consequently, the decreasingpedEexpression and concomitant alleviation ofpedHrepression causes—in conjunction with the transcriptional activation of thepedHgene by a yet unknown regulatory module—the Ln3+-dependent transition from PedE- to PedH-catalyzed oxidation of alcoholic VOCs.IMPORTANCEThe function of lanthanides for methanotrophic and methylotrophic bacteria is gaining increasing attention, while knowledge about the role of rare earth elements (REEs) in nonmethylotrophic bacteria is still limited. The present study investigates the recently described differential expression of the two PQQ-EDHs ofP. putidain response to lanthanides. We demonstrate that a specific TCS is crucial for their inverse regulation and provide evidence for a dual regulatory function of the LuxR-type response regulator involved. Thus, our study represents the first detailed characterization of the molecular mechanism underlying the REE switch of PQQ-EDHs in a nonmethylotrophic bacterium and stimulates subsequent investigations for the identification of additional genes or phenotypic traits that might be coregulated during REE-dependent niche adaptation.

ABSTRACT Activation of the two-component system formed by CckA, ChpT, and CtrA (kinase, phosphotransferase, and response regulator, respectively) in Rhodobacter sphaeroides does not occur under the growth conditions commonly used in the laboratory. However, it is possible to isolate a gain-of-function mutant in CckA that turns the system on. Using massive parallel transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), we identified 321 genes that are differentially regulated by CtrA. From these genes, 239 were positively controlled and 82 were negatively regulated. Genes encoding the Fla2 polar flagella and gas vesicle proteins are strongly activated by CtrA. Genes involved in stress responses as well as several transcriptional factors are also positively controlled, whereas the photosynthetic and CO2 fixation genes are repressed. Potential CtrA-binding sites were bioinformatically identified, leading to the proposal that at least 81 genes comprise the direct regulon. Based on our results, we ponder that the transcriptional response orchestrated by CtrA enables a lifestyle in which R. sphaeroides will effectively populate the surface layer of a water body enabled by gas vesicles and will remain responsive to chemotactic stimuli using the chemosensoring system that controls the Fla2 flagellum. Simultaneously, fine-tuning of photosynthesis and stress responses will reduce the damage caused by heat and high light intensity in this water stratum. In summary, in this bacterium CtrA has evolved to control physiological responses that allow its adaptation to a particular lifestyle instead of controlling the cell cycle as occurs in other species. IMPORTANCE Cell motility in Alphaproteobacteria is frequently controlled by the CckA, ChpT, and CtrA two-component system. Under the growth conditions commonly used in the laboratory, ctrA is transcriptionally inactive in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and motility depends on the Fla1 flagellar system that was acquired by a horizontal transfer event. Likely, the incorporation of this flagellar system released CtrA from the strong selective pressure of being the main motility regulator, allowing this two-component system to specialize and respond to some specific conditions. Identifying the genes that are directly regulated by CtrA could help us understand the conditions in which the products of this regulon are required. Massive parallel transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed that CtrA orchestrates an adaptive response that contributes to the colonization of a particular environmental niche.

ABSTRACTDuring its life cycle, the environmental pathogenLegionella pneumophilaalternates between a replicative and transmissive cell type when cultured in broth, macrophages, or amoebae. Within a protozoan host,L. pneumophilafurther differentiates into the hardy cell type known as the mature infectious form (MIF). The second messenger cyclic di-GMP coordinates lifestyle changes in many bacterial species, but its role in theL. pneumophilalife cycle is less understood. Using anin vitrobroth culture model that approximates the intracellular transition from the replicative to the transmissive form, here we investigate the contribution toL. pneumophiladifferentiation of a two-component system (TCS) that regulates cyclic di-GMP metabolism. The TCS is encoded bylpg0278-lpg0277and is cotranscribed withlpg0279, which encodes a protein upregulated in MIF cells. The promoter for this operon is RpoS dependent and induced in nutrient-limiting conditions that do not support replication, as demonstrated using agfpreporter and quantitative PCR (qPCR). The response regulator of the TCS (Lpg0277) is a bifunctional enzyme that both synthesizes and degrades cyclic di-GMP. Using a panel of site-directed point mutants, we show that cyclic di-GMP synthesis mediated by a conserved GGDEF domain promotes growth arrest of replicativeL. pneumophila, accumulation of pigment and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate storage granules, and viability in nutrient-limiting conditions. Genetic epistasis tests predict that the MIF protein Lpg0279 acts as a negative regulator of the TCS. Thus,L. pneumophilais equipped with a regulatory network in which cyclic di-GMP stimulates the switch from a replicative to a resilient state equipped to survive in low-nutrient environments.IMPORTANCEAlthough an intracellular pathogen,L. pneumophilahas developed mechanisms to ensure long-term survival in low-nutrient aqueous conditions. Eradication ofL. pneumophilafrom contaminated water supplies has proven challenging, as outbreaks have been traced to previously remediated systems. Understanding the genetic determinants that supportL. pneumophilapersistence in low-nutrient environments can inform design and assessment of remediation strategies. Here we characterize a genetic locus that encodes a two-component signaling system (lpg0278-lpg0277) and a putative regulator protein (lpg0279) that modulates the production of the messenger molecule cyclic di-GMP. We show that this locus promotes bothL. pneumophilacell differentiation and survival in nutrient-limiting conditions, thus advancing the understanding of the mechanisms that contribute toL. pneumophilaenvironmental resilience.

ABSTRACTThe physiological resistance of pathogens to antimicrobial treatment is a severe problem in the context of chronic infections. For example, the mucus-filled lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are readily colonized by diverse antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, includingPseudomonas aeruginosa. Previously, we showed that bioavailable ferrous iron [Fe(II)] is present in CF sputum at all stages of infection and constitutes a significant portion of the iron pool at advanced stages of lung function decline [R. C. Hunter et al., mBio 4(4):e00557-13, 2013].P. aeruginosa, a dominant CF pathogen, senses Fe(II) using a two-component signal transduction system, BqsRS, which is transcriptionally active in CF sputum [R. C. Hunter et al., mBio 4(4):e00557-13, 2013; N. N. Kreamer, J. C. Wilks, J. J. Marlow, M. L. Coleman, and D. K. Newman, J Bacteriol 194:1195–1204, 2012]. Here, we show that an RExxE motif in BqsS is required for BqsRS activation. Once Fe(II) is sensed, BqsR binds a tandem repeat DNA sequence, activating transcription. The BqsR regulon—defined through iterative bioinformatic predictions and experimental validation—includes several genes whose products are known to drive antibiotic resistance to aminoglycosides and polymyxins. Among them are genes encoding predicted determinants of polyamine transport and biosynthesis. Compared to the wild type,bqsSandbqsRdeletion mutants are sensitive to high levels of Fe(II), produce less spermidine in high Fe(II), and are more sensitive to tobramycin and polymyxin B but not arsenate, chromate, or cefsulodin. BqsRS thus mediates a physiological response to Fe(II) that guards the cell against positively charged molecules but not negatively charged stressors. These results suggest Fe(II) is an important environmental signal that, via BqsRS, bolsters tolerance of a variety of cationic stressors, including clinically important antimicrobial agents.IMPORTANCEClearing chronic infections is challenging due to the physiological resistance of opportunistic pathogens to antibiotics. Effective treatments are hindered by a lack of understanding of how these organisms survivein situ. Fe(II) is typically present at micromolar levels in soils and sedimentary habitats, as well as in CF sputum. All P. aeruginosa strains possess a two-component system, BqsRS, that specifically senses extracellular Fe(II) at low micromolar concentrations. Our work shows that BqsRS protects the cell against cationic perturbations to the cell envelope as well as low pH and reduction potential (Eh), conditions under which Fe2+is stable. Fe(II) can thus be understood as a proxy for a broader environmental state; the cellular response to its detection may help rationalize the resistance of P. aeruginosa to clinically important cationic antibiotics. This finding demonstrates the importance of considering environmental chemistry when exploring mechanisms of microbial survival in habitats that include the human body.
