ABSTRACTBolA family proteins are conserved in Gram-negative bacteria and many eukaryotes. While diverse cellular phenotypes have been linked to this protein family, the molecular pathways through which these proteins mediate their effects are not well described. Here, we investigated the roles of BolA family proteins inVibrio cholerae, the cholera pathogen. LikeEscherichia coli,V. choleraeencodes two BolA proteins, BolA and IbaG. However, in marked contrast toE. coli, wherebolAis linked to cell shape andibaGis not, inV. cholerae,bolAmutants lack morphological defects, whereasibaGproved critical for the generation and/or maintenance of the pathogen’s morphology. Notably, the bizarre-shaped, multipolar, elongated, and wide cells that predominated in exponential-phase ΔibaGV. choleraecultures were not observed in stationary-phase cultures. TheV. choleraeΔibaGmutant exhibited increased sensitivity to cell envelope stressors, including cell wall-acting antibiotics and bile, and was defective in intestinal colonization. ΔibaGV. choleraehad reduced peptidoglycan and lipid II and altered outer membrane lipids, likely contributing to the mutant’s morphological defects and sensitivity to envelope stressors. Transposon insertion sequencing analysis ofibaG’s genetic interactions suggested thatibaGis involved in several processes involved in the generation and homeostasis of the cell envelope. Furthermore, copurification studies revealed that IbaG interacts with proteins containing iron-sulfur clusters or involved in their assembly. Collectively, our findings suggest thatV. choleraeIbaG controls cell morphology and cell envelope integrity through its role in biogenesis or trafficking of iron-sulfur cluster proteins.IMPORTANCEBolA-like proteins are conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These proteins have been linked to a variety of phenotypes, but the pathways and mechanisms through which they act have not been extensively characterized. Here, we unraveled the role of the BolA-like protein IbaG in the cholera pathogenVibrio cholerae. The absence of IbaG was associated with dramatic changes in cell morphology, sensitivity to envelope stressors, and intestinal colonization defects. IbaG was found to be required for biogenesis of several components of theV. choleraecell envelope and to interact with numerous iron-sulfur cluster-containing proteins and factors involved in their assembly. Thus, our findings suggest that IbaG governsV. choleraecell shape and cell envelope homeostasis through its effects on iron-sulfur proteins and associated pathways. The diversity of processes involving iron-sulfur-containing proteins is likely a factor underlying the range of phenotypes associated with BolA family proteins.
