Microbial factor-mediated development in a host-bacterial mutualism. (1/147)

Tracheal cytotoxin (TCT), a fragment of the bacterial surface molecule peptidoglycan (PGN), is the factor responsible for the extensive tissue damage characteristic of whooping cough and gonorrhea infections. Here, we report that Vibrio fischeri also releases TCT, which acts in synergy with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to trigger tissue development in its mutualistic symbiosis with the squid Euprymna scolopes. As components of PGN and LPS have commonly been linked with pathogenesis in animals, these findings demonstrate that host interpretation of these bacterial signal molecules is context dependent. Therefore, such differences in interpretation can lead to either inflammation and disease or to the establishment of a mutually beneficial animal-microbe association.  (+info)

Complete genome sequence of Vibrio fischeri: a symbiotic bacterium with pathogenic congeners. (2/147)

Vibrio fischeri belongs to the Vibrionaceae, a large family of marine gamma-proteobacteria that includes several dozen species known to engage in a diversity of beneficial or pathogenic interactions with animal tissue. Among the small number of pathogenic Vibrio species that cause human diseases are Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus, the only members of the Vibrionaceae that have had their genome sequences reported. Nonpathogenic members of the genus Vibrio, including a number of beneficial symbionts, make up the majority of the Vibrionaceae, but none of these species has been similarly examined. Here we report the genome sequence of V. fischeri ES114, which enters into a mutualistic symbiosis in the light organ of the bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes. Analysis of this sequence has revealed surprising parallels with V. cholerae and other pathogens.  (+info)

Magnesium promotes flagellation of Vibrio fischeri. (3/147)

The bacterium Vibrio fischeri requires bacterial motility to initiate colonization of the Hawaiian squid Euprymna scolopes. Once colonized, however, the bacterial population becomes largely unflagellated. To understand environmental influences on V. fischeri motility, we investigated migration of this organism in tryptone-based soft agar media supplemented with different salts. We found that optimal migration required divalent cations and, in particular, Mg2+. At concentrations naturally present in seawater, Mg2+ improved migration without altering the growth rate of the cells. Transmission electron microscopy and Western blot experiments suggested that Mg2+ addition enhanced flagellation, at least in part through an effect on the steady-state levels of flagellin protein.  (+info)

Vibrio fischeri uses two quorum-sensing systems for the regulation of early and late colonization factors. (4/147)

Vibrio fischeri possesses two quorum-sensing systems, ain and lux, using acyl homoserine lactones as signaling molecules. We have demonstrated previously that the ain system activates luminescence gene expression at lower cell densities than those required for lux system activation and that both systems are essential for persistent colonization of the squid host, Euprymna scolopes. Here, we asked whether the relative contributions of the two systems are also important at different colonization stages. Inactivation of ain, but not lux, quorum-sensing genes delayed initiation of the symbiotic relationship. In addition, our data suggest that lux quorum sensing is not fully active in the early stages of colonization, implying that this system is not required until later in the symbiosis. The V. fischeri luxI mutant does not express detectable light levels in symbiosis yet initiates colonization as well as the wild type, suggesting that ain quorum sensing regulates colonization factors other than luminescence. We used a recently developed V. fischeri microarray to identify genes that are controlled by ain quorum sensing and could be responsible for the initiation defect. We found 30 differentially regulated genes, including the repression of a number of motility genes. Consistent with these data, ain quorum-sensing mutants displayed an altered motility behavior in vitro. Taken together, these data suggest that the sequential activation of these two quorum-sensing systems with increasing cell density allows the specific regulation of early colonization factors (e.g., motility) by ain quorum sensing, whereas late colonization factors (e.g., luminescence) are preferentially regulated by lux quorum sensing.  (+info)

Identifying components of the NF-kappaB pathway in the beneficial Euprymna scolopes-Vibrio fischeri light organ symbiosis. (5/147)

The Toll/NF-kappaB pathway is a common, evolutionarily conserved innate immune pathway that modulates the responses of animal cells to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Because MAMPs have been implicated as critical elements in the signaling of symbiont-induced development, an expressed sequence tag library from the juvenile light organ of Euprymna scolopes was used to identify members of the Toll/NF-kappaB pathway. Full-length transcripts were identified by using 5' and 3' RACE PCR. Seven transcripts critical for MAMP-induced triggering of the Toll/NF-kappaB phosphorylation cascade have been identified, including receptors, signal transducers, and a transcription factor. Further investigations should elucidate the role of the Toll/NF-kappaB pathway in the initiation of the beneficial symbiosis between E. scolopes and Vibrio fischeri.  (+info)

The LuxR receptor: the sites of interaction with quorum-sensing signals and inhibitors. (6/147)

The function of LuxR homologues as quorum sensors is mediated by the binding of N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules to the N-terminal receptor site of the proteins. In this study, site-directed mutagenesis was carried out of the amino acid residues comprising the receptor site of LuxR from Vibrio fischeri, and the ability of the L42A, L42S, Y62F, W66F, D79N, W94D, V109D, V109T and M135A LuxR mutant proteins to activate green fluorescent protein expression from a P(luxI) promoter was measured. X-ray crystallographic studies of the LuxR homologue TraR indicated that residues Y53 and W57 form hydrogen bonds to the 1-carbonyl group and the ring carbonyl group, respectively, of the cognate AHL signal. Based on the activity and signal specificity of the LuxR mutant proteins, and on molecular modelling, a model is suggested in which Y62 (corresponding to Y53 in TraR) forms a hydrogen bond with the ring carbonyl group rather than the 1-carbonyl group, while W66 (corresponding to W57 in TraR) forms a hydrogen bond to the 1-carbonyl group. This flips the position of the acyl side chain in the LuxR/signal molecule complex compared to the TraR/signal molecule complex. Halogenated furanones from the marine alga Delisea pulchra and the synthetic signal analogue N-(sulfanylacetyl)-L-homoserine lactone can block quorum sensing. The LuxR mutant proteins were insensitive to inhibition by N-(propylsulfanylacetyl)-L-homoserine lactone. In contrast, the mutations had only a minor effect on the sensitivity of the proteins to halogenated furanones, and the data strongly suggest that these compounds do not compete in a 'classic' way with N-3-oxohexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone for the binding site. Based on modelling and experimental data it is suggested that these compounds bind in a non-agonist fashion.  (+info)

New rfp- and pES213-derived tools for analyzing symbiotic Vibrio fischeri reveal patterns of infection and lux expression in situ. (7/147)

Genetically altered or tagged Vibrio fischeri strains can be observed in association with their mutualistic host Euprymna scolopes, providing powerful experimental approaches for studying this symbiosis. Two limitations to such in situ analyses are the lack of suitably stable plasmids and the need for a fluorescent tag that can be used in tandem with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Vectors previously used in V. fischeri contain the p15A replication origin; however, we found that this replicon is not stable during growth in the host and is retained by fewer than 20% of symbionts within a day after infection. In contrast, derivatives of V. fischeri plasmid pES213 were retained by approximately 99% of symbionts even 3 days after infection. We therefore constructed pES213-derived shuttle vectors with a variety of selectable and visual markers. To include a visual tag that can be used in conjunction with GFP, we compared seven variants of the DsRed2 red fluorescent protein (RFP): mRFP1, tdimer2(12), DsRed.T3, DsRed.T4, DsRed.M1, DsRed.T3_S4T, and DsRed.T3(DNT). The last variant was brightest, displaying >20-fold more fluorescence than DsRed2 in V. fischeri. RFP expression did not detectably affect the fitness of V. fischeri, and cells were readily visualized in combination with GFP-expressing cells in mixed infections. Interestingly, even when inocula were dense enough that most E. scolopes hatchlings were infected by two strains, there was little mixing of the strains in the light organ crypts. We also used constitutive RFP in combination with the luxICDABEG promoter driving expression of GFP to visualize the spatial and temporal induction of this bioluminescence operon during symbiotic infection. Our results demonstrate the utility of pES213-based vectors and RFP for in situ experimental approaches in studies of the V. fischeri-E. scolopes symbiosis.  (+info)

Cyclo(Phe-Pro) modulates the expression of ompU in Vibrio spp. (8/147)

Vibrio vulnificus was found to produce a chemical that induced the expression of Vibrio fischeri lux genes. Electron spray ionization-mass spectrometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analyses indicated that the compound was cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) (cFP). The compound was produced at a maximal level when cell cultures reached the onset of stationary phase. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis of the total proteins of V. vulnificus indicated that expression of OmpU was enhanced by exogenously added synthetic or purified cFP. A toxR-null mutant failed to express ompU despite the addition of cFP. The related Vibrio spp. V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. harveyi also produced cFP, which induced the expression of their own ompU genes. cFP also enhanced the expression in V. cholerae of the ctx genes, which are known to be regulated by ToxR. Our results suggest that cFP is a signal molecule controlling the expression of genes important for the pathogenicity of Vibrio spp.  (+info)

The mutualistic association between the squid Euprymna scolopes and the bacterium Vibrio fischeri is an emerging experimental system for the study of the influence of bacteria on animal development. Taking advantage of the ability to raise both this host and its microbial partner independently under laboratory conditions, we describe the effects of bacterial interactions on morphogenesis of the juvenile host symbiotic organ. Our results show that bacteria are essential for normal postembryonic development of the symbiotic organ, which involves changes in both the surface epithelium and the epithelial tissue within the organ where the bacterial culture will take up residence. Cell death induced by exposure to symbiotic V. fischeri results in the regression of a complex ciliated surface epithelium, a tissue that apparently functions to facilitate inoculation of the juvenile organ with the appropriate specific bacterial species. Regression of this tissue begins within hours of exposure to ...

Euprymna scolopes, a Hawaiian species of bioluminescent squid, harbors Vibrio fischeri as its specific light organ symbiont. The population of symbionts grew inside the adult light organ with an average doubling time of about 5 h, which produced an excess of cells that were expelled into the surrounding seawater on a diurnal basis at the beginning of each period of daylight. These symbionts, when expelled into the ambient seawater, maintain or slightly increase their numbers for at least 24 h. Hence, locations inhabited by their hosts periodically receive a daily input of symbiotic V. fischeri cells and, as a result, become significantly enriched with these bacteria. As estimated by hybridization with a species-specific luxA gene probe, the typical number of V. fischeri CFU, both in the water column and in the sediments of E. scolopes habitats, was as much as 24 to 30 times that in similar locations where squids were not observed. In addition, the number of symbiotic V. fischeri CFU in seawater ...
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Vibrio fischeri, Gram-negative, motile, bioluminescent, curved rod-shaped bacterium (prokaryote). Vibrio fischeri is a bioluminescent bacterium that occurs in global ocean environments. V. fischeri is most often found in a symbiotic relationship with certain deep sea marine life, such as the bobtail squid, within special light-organs.. V. fischeri causes the squid to produce a mucus substance that is secreted below the light organ on the squid. Cilia are used to draw more bacteria into this mucus matrix. The bacteria migrate into the light organ and colonize an area within it. They provide a light source for the squid to make it blend in with the ocean floor at night. Thus predators have a hard time seeing the squid. V. fischeri is a key research organism for examination of microbial bioluminescence, quorum sensing, and bacterial-animal symbiosis.

Courtesy of: http://dels-old.nas.edu/oceans/oceans_and_human_health_part_2.shtml Introduction: This blog examines the relationship between the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid and a bioluminescent bacterium. The Hawaiian Bobtail squid acquires an enhanced ability to capture prey and avoid predators, while the bacterium receives key nutrients from residing within the squid [2]. Distribution of this aquatic relationship is limited by the habitat of the squid (Hawaii). Several bioluminescent bacteria cycle through a single squid daily. Description of Relationship: The type of relationship observed between Euprymna scolope(Hawaiian Bobtail squid) and Vibrio fischeri(bioluminescent bacterium) is unique to organisms with specialized structures called light organs. These light organs are specialized structures that have evolved to allow the organisms that house them to create light. While the evolutionary reason for this structure is unknown, many individuals hypothesize that certain marine organisms form these ...
Description: In the Hawaiian bobtail squid (pictured), scientists have found that the same bacterial toxin that causes whooping cough and gonorrhea in humans is responsible for the development of an important organ. The finding, reported in the Nov. 12 Science magazine, suggests that the role of bacteria in their host organisms depends significantly on the biological context in which they are found. In one place, a bacterium may have a harmful role; in another, it may be critical for the animals survival. The corresponding author of the Science paper is Margaret McFall-Ngai, a UW-Madison professor of medical microbiology ...
Bobtail squid (order Sepiolida) are a group of cephalopods closely related to cuttlefish. Bobtail squid tend to have a rounder mantle than cuttlefish and have no cuttlebone. They have eight suckered arms and two tentacles and are generally quite small (typical male mantle length being between 1 and 8 cm). Sepiolids live in shallow coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean and some parts of the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean as well as in shallow waters on the west coast of the Cape Peninsula off South Africa. Like cuttlefish, they can swim by either using the fins on their mantle or by jet propulsion. They are also known as dumpling squid (owing to their rounded mantle) or stubby squid. Bobtail squid have a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria (Aliivibrio fischeri), which inhabit a special light organ in the squids mantle. The bacteria are fed a sugar and amino acid solution by the squid and in return hide the squids silhouette when viewed from below by matching the amount of light ...

Abstract Background Sequence closure often represents the end-point of a genome project, without a system in place for subsequent improvement and refinement. Building on the genome project of Vibrio fischeri ES114, we used a comparative approach to identify and investigate genes that had a high likelihood of sequence error. Results Comparison of the V. fischeri ES114 genome with that of conspecific strain MJ11 identified 82 target loci in ES114 as containing likely errors, and thus of high-priority for resequencing. Analysis of the targets identified 75 loci in which an error had occurred, resulting in the correction of 10,457 base pairs to generate the new ES114 genomic sequence. A majority of the inaccurate loci involved frameshift errors, correction of which fused adjacent ORFs. Although insertions/deletions are thought to be rare in microbial genome assemblies, fourteen of the loci contained extraneous sequence of over 300 bp, likely due to imperfect contig ends that were misassembled in ...
Tracheal cytotoxin (TCT) is a bacterial virulence factor in whooping cough (and other infections) that triggers leukocyte infiltration and strips airways of ciliated epithelium. However, not all host-bacterial encounters are negative. In the relationship between the glow-in-the dark squid Euprymna scolopes and its luminescent bacterial symbiont Vibrio fischeri, Koropatnick et al. have discovered that the same toxin plays a benign role. In this association, TCT still initiates apoptosis of ciliated cells and host cell infiltration. However, these cellular responses are triggered when juvenile squid first encounter V. fischeri and constitute a normal developmental stage in the generation of the specialized light organ that allows it to accommodate the incoming symbiont..

Bioluminescent bacteria are light-producing bacteria that are predominantly present in sea water, marine sediments, the surface of decomposing fish and in the gut of marine animals. While not as common, bacterial bioluminescence is also found in terrestrial and freshwater bacteria. These bacteria may be free living (such as Vibrio harveyi) or in symbiosis with animals such as the Hawaiian Bobtail squid (Aliivibrio fischeri) or terrestrial nematodes (Photorhabdus luminescens). The host organisms provide these bacteria a safe home and sufficient nutrition. In exchange, the hosts use the light produced by the bacteria for camouflage, prey and/or mate attraction. Bioluminescent bacteria have evolved symbiotic relationships with other organisms in which both participants benefit close to equally. Another possible reason bacteria use luminescence reaction is for quorum sensing, an ability to regulate gene expression in response to bacterial cell density. Records of bioluminescent bacteria existed for ...
The developmental changes bobtail squid undergo when colonized by the bacteria are both dramatic and accessible for biologists to study. The bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, hatches as a fully formed squid. They have no larval stage. However, theres a vestige of the ciliated structures seen in other mollusks. (Cilia are like tiny hairs on the surface of individual cells.) These ciliated cells cover the surface of a pair of appendages in the undeveloped light organ (Koropatnick, 2014). After hatching, the bobtail squid has no association with any bacteria, and is not capable of luminescence. The light organ can only complete its development once it is colonized by a specific species of bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. Once V. fischeri is obtained from the surrounding seawater, the bacteria become suspended in mucus and migrate to the light organ. The cells smell their way! They follow a trail of chemical cues left by the squids cells (Koropatnick, 2014). Approximately 12 hours after hatching, the ...

Homologs of Toxin-Encoding Genes. Although V. fischeri is not known to be pathogenic, and strain ES114 is a beneficial symbiont, its genome carries homologs of Vibrio genes that may have toxin activity (Table 3, which is published as supporting information on the PNAS web site). As mentioned earlier, these include two CTX phage-encoded genes, zot (zona occludins toxin) and ace (accessory cholera enterotoxin), the latter of which has been found only in the V. cholerae and V. fischeri genome sequences. The proteins coded for by these genes have been shown to contribute to the structure of CTX phage (17), and their possible roles as toxins remain controversial (31, 32). At this time, it is not known whether the V. fischeri homologs of these two genes are expressed in this species, or whether they might play a role in this bacteriums symbiotic associations.. All sequenced Vibrio species carry genes encoding another putative toxin called RTX (repeats in structural toxins). RTX activity in V. ...

The American Bobtail, a relative newcomer on the scene, is increasing in popularity due to its winning combination of wild appearance and friendly demeanour.. Among the few cat breeds that have originated in the United States, the American Bobtail did not receive recognition by the Cat Fanciers Association until February 2000.. American Bobtail History. The first known American Bobtail was Yodie, a stray with a stubby tail who was found by vacationers in the 1960s. Although his parentage is unknown, it was rumoured that he was a hybrid of a bobcat and a domestic cat due to his short tail and wild look. However, this is unlikely, as the males derived from such matings tend to be sterile, whereas Yodie was not. It is more likely that Yodies stumpy tail was the result of a spontaneous mutation.. Yodie was mated at first with a seal point Siamese female and the kittens were born with bobbed tails, which indicated that the bobtail gene was dominant. Yodie and his children were subsequently mated ...

My current research focuses on analyzing DNA sequence determinants of gene expression in the bacteria Vibrio fischeri. Previous studies of the rrn genes in the bacterium Escherichia coli have laid a strong foundation for our understanding of gene expression. These genes have proven to be a successful model for studying transcription in E. coli; therefore I am investigating the rrn genes in other bacterial species to learn more about transcription regulation. Specifically, I use reporter gene constructs to analyze the factors involved in gene expression in V. fischeri. This work will further our understanding of the prokaryotic gene regulation. What we learn about transcription will help us to better understand the process of gene expression in general and how this process is regulated.. ...
A previously applied alanine-scanning mutagenesis that was performed with the E. coli csrA gene, used to examine the relative contribution each amino acid residue to CsrA protein function [20], provides an invaluable comparator to our spontaneous suppression screen. Our complementary screen differs in that all potential amino acid substitutions are possible, even the single native alanine residue that was not altered in the alanine scan. In our screen, an A36S substitution caused a 20-fold increase in luminescence and restored siderophore activity indicating the highly conserved A36, positioned into the hydrophobic core of the CsrA homodimer, could be critical to protein folding and 3- dimensional stability [20, 23]. Even the conservative substitution of this alanine with the non-polar and fairly compact valine (VCW2G2) altered CsrA function (Fig. 2). Also, only mutations that improve growth would likely improve fitness. Thus, mutations that map to non-conserved regions that do not contribute to ...

FIG. 4. Diffusible signaling in bacteria-host associations. (A) Not only do bacteria recognize their own secreted signals (gray circles) to coordinate a response (black diamonds), but eukaryotic cells in the vicinity may also recognize these signals and produce a response. Some of the potential interactions are diagrammed. Various host cells may alter cytokine production (open triangles), mucus production (shaded gray), or other developmental events, such as apoptosis, in response to either the signal itself or the bacterial product of the signal transduction pathway. Hosts may also induce or constitutively synthesize signal-degrading enzymes. (B) Symbiotic Euprymna scolopes-V. fischeri interaction during light organ colonization. LuxA activity is dependent on AHL quorum sensing. The locations at which bacterial cell-cell signaling likely occurs are labeled as 1 and 2. Region 1 is the site of the initial attachment, or aggregation, by bacteria on the surface of the light organ. Region 2 is the ...

Most mammals possess a tail, humans and the Great Apes being notable exceptions. One approach to understanding the mechanisms and evolutionary forces influencing development of a tail is to identify the genetic factors that influence extreme tail length variation within a species. In mice, the Tailless locus has proven to be complex, with evidence of multiple different genes and mutations with pleiotropic effects on tail length, fertility, embryogenesis, male transmission ratio, and meiotic recombination. Five cat breeds have abnormal tail length phenotypes: the American Bobtail, the Manx, the Pixie-Bob, the Kurilian Bobtail, and the Japanese Bobtail. We sequenced the T gene in several independent lineages of Manx cats from both the US and the Isle of Man and identified three 1-bp deletions and one duplication/deletion, each predicted to cause a frameshift that leads to premature termination and truncation of the carboxy terminal end of the Brachyury protein. Ninety-five percent of Manx cats ...
Members of the class Cephalopoda are gonochoric. Male and female adults usually die shortly after spawning and brooding, respectively. Mating behavior: Males perform various displays to attract potential females for copulation. During copulation, male grasp the female and inserts the hectocotylus into the females mantle cavity where fertilization usually occurs. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic stage and live for some time before they grow larger and take up a benthic existence as adults (Ref. 833). ...
Squid typically arent my thing, but I can certainly be wooed by their microbes. Example: the very awesome symbiotic relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail
Many recent studies rely on 16S rRNA-based sequencing approaches to analyze bacterial or archaeal communities found in soil and other environmental samples. While this approach is valuable for determining the relative abundances of different microbial taxa found in a given sample, it does not provide information on how the total abundances of targeted microbes differ across samples. Here we demonstrate how the simple addition of an internal standard at the DNA extraction step allows for the quantitative comparison of taxon abundances across samples. The reliability of this method was assessed in two ways. First, we spiked a dilution series of two different soils with internal standards to ascertain whether we could accurately quantify differences in cell abundances. We tested two different internal standards, adding DNA from Aliivibrio fischeri or Thermus thermophilus, bacterial taxa unlikely to be found in soil. Both standards allowed us to accurately quantify microbial abundances in soil as ...

The enzymes for luminescence in Vibrio fischeri are induced by the accumulation of a species-specific metabolite (autoinducer) in the culture medium. Tritium-labeled autoinducer was used to study the mechanism of autoinduction. When 3H-autoinducer was added to suspensions of V. fischeri or Escherichia coli, cellular concentrations equaled external concentrations. For V. fischeri, equilibration of 3H-autoinducer was rapid (within 20 s), and greater than 90% of the cellular tritium remained in unmodified autoinducer. When V. fischeri or E. coli cells containing 3H-autoinducer were transferred to autoinducer-free buffer, 85 to 99.5% of the radiotracer escaped from the cells, depending on the strain. Concentrations of autoinducer as low as 10 nM, which is equivalent to 1 or 2 molecules per cell, were sufficient for induction, and the maximal response to autoinducer occurred at about 200 nM. If external autoinducer concentrations were decreased to below 10 nM after induction had commenced, the ...

Aspergillus fumigatus is a major human pathogen that causes hundreds of thousands of infections yearly with high mortality rates. In contrast, Aspergillus fischeri and the recently described Aspergillus oerlinghausenensis, the two species most closely related to A. fumigatus, are not known to be pathogenic. Some of the cards of virulence that A. fumigatus possesses are secondary metabolites that impair the host immune system, protect from host immune cell attacks, or acquire key nutrients. Secondary metabolites and the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that typically encode them often vary within and between fungal species. To gain insight into whether secondary metabolism-associated cards of virulence vary between A. fumigatus, A. oerlinghausenensis, and A. fischeri, we conducted extensive genomic and secondary metabolite profiling analyses. By analyzing multiple A. fumigatus, one A. oerlinghausenensis, and multiple A. fischeri strains, we identified both conserved and diverged secondary ...
Involved in the maturation of Asn-linked oligosaccharides. Progressively trims alpha-1,2-linked mannose residues from Man(9)GlcNAc(2) to produce Man(5)GlcNAc(2) (By similarity).
The type VI system is found within many different bacteria, said Kirsten R. Guckes, a postdoctoral researcher at Penn State and first author of the paper. It was originally thought to primarily contribute to the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. For example, Vibrio cholerae, the bacteria that causes cholera, uses it. But, we now know that beneficial bacteria, like V. fischeri, also use T6SS to kill other bacteria. Because T6SS is thought to be energetically expensive for the bacteria to produce, and doing so could interfere with the bacterias ability to thrive and produce bioluminescence, understanding how the components of the system are regulated will help us to explain the host-symbiont relationship and the factors that contribute to establishing symbiosis.. A key structural component of T6SS is Hcp, coded for by two functionally redundant genes. The research team showed that the expression of Hcp is dependent on two factors: the alternative sigma factor σ54 and the bacterial enhancer ...

Transposon mutants of the prototrophic V. fischeri strain ESR1 (19) were obtained by conjugative transposon mutagenesis with Escherichia coli strain S17-1 λpir (pUT mini-Tn5 Cm) (21), and selection for transconjugants was performed on a Luria broth and NaCl (LBS) agar medium (22) containing (per liter) 100 mg rifampicin, and 5 mg chloramphenicol. This procedure has been shown to cause single transposon insertions that are stable in V. fischeri (23). Amino acid auxotrophs were isolated from this pool of transposon mutants by using a streptozotocin enrichment method (24). Strains that could be complemented by the addition of a single amino acid were identified (25), and nine mutants that were auxotrophic for different amino acids were analyzed further. The growth rate and luminescence of these mutants were indistinguishable from that of strain ESR1 in SWT broth, a complex tryptone-based seawater medium (13); however, each mutant was unable to grow in the minimal-salts medium MSR, a derivative of ...

Fifty nanograms of cDNA was the template for the RT-PCR, with primer concentrations of 250 μM. 2× SYBR Green master mix (Applied Biosystems) and H2O were added to a final reaction volume of 50 μL per well in a MicroAmp Optical 96-well reaction plate (Applied Biosystems). RG7204 purchase Thermal cycler settings were programmed for 52 °C for 2 min, 95 °C for 10 min, then 45 cycles of the following: 95 °C for 15 s, 51 °C for 15 s, and 60 °C for 1 min, which was the data collection point. Ideally, a csrA partial deletion strain would have been used for experiments as has been possible. in other systems (Liu et al., 1995; Lenz et al., 2005). However, repeated attempts failed to generate the desired construct. Therefore, an alternative strategy was employed to modulate CsrA levels whereby either csrA (pJW3) or csrB1 (pJW4) was overexpressed from a stable plasmid construct in two V. fischeri strains, ES114 (wild type) and PMF8 (ΔlitR). This approach was followed, because in factorial design ...
