Abstract

Quorum-sensing (QS) signals are widely employed by bacteria to regulate biological functions in response to cell densities. Previous studies showed that Burkholderia cenocepacia mostly utilizes two types of QS systems, including the -acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) and -2-dodecenoic acid (BDSF) systems, to regulate biological functions. We demonstrated here that a LysR family transcriptional regulator, Bcal3178, controls the QS-regulated phenotypes, including biofilm formation and protease production, in B. cenocepacia H111. Expression of at the transcriptional level was obviously downregulated in both the AHL-deficient and BDSF-deficient mutant strains compared to the wild-type H111 strain. It was further identified that Bcal3178 regulated target gene expression by directly binding to the promoter DNA regions. We also revealed that Bcal3178 was directly controlled by the AHL system regulator CepR. These results show that Bcal3178 is a new downstream component of the QS signaling network that modulates a subset of genes and functions coregulated by the AHL and BDSF QS systems in B. cenocepacia. Burkholderia cenocepacia is an important opportunistic pathogen in humans that utilizes the BDSF and AHL quorum-sensing (QS) systems to regulate biological functions and virulence. We demonstrated here that a new downstream regulator, Bcal3178 of the QS signaling network, controls biofilm formation and protease production. Bcal3178 is a LysR family transcriptional regulator modulated by both the BDSF and AHL QS systems. Furthermore, Bcal3178 controls many target genes, which are regulated by the QS systems in B. cenocepacia. Collectively, our findings depict a novel molecular mechanism with which QS systems regulate some target gene expression and biological functions by modulating the expression level of a LysR family transcriptional regulator in B. cenocepacia.

摘要

群体感应(QS)信号被细菌广泛用于根据细胞密度调节生物学功能。先前的研究表明,洋葱伯克霍尔德菌主要利用两种类型的QS系统,包括N-酰基高丝氨酸内酯(AHL)和β-2-十二碳烯酸(BDSF)系统,来调节生物学功能。我们在此证明,一个LysR家族转录调节因子Bcal3178控制洋葱伯克霍尔德菌H111中QS调节的表型,包括生物膜形成和蛋白酶产生。与野生型H111菌株相比,在AHL缺陷型和BDSF缺陷型突变菌株中,Bcal3178在转录水平上的表达均明显下调。进一步确定Bcal3178通过直接结合启动子DNA区域来调节靶基因表达。我们还发现Bcal3178直接受AHL系统调节因子CepR的控制。这些结果表明,Bcal3178是QS信号网络的一个新的下游组分,它调节洋葱伯克霍尔德菌中由AHL和BDSF QS系统共同调节的一部分基因和功能。洋葱伯克霍尔德菌是人类重要的机会致病菌,它利用BDSF和AHL群体感应(QS)系统来调节生物学功能和毒力。我们在此证明,QS信号网络的一个新的下游调节因子Bcal3178控制生物膜形成和蛋白酶产生。Bcal3178是一个受BDSF和AHL QS系统调节的LysR家族转录调节因子。此外,Bcal3178控制许多靶基因,这些靶基因在洋葱伯克霍尔德菌中受QS系统调节。总的来说,我们的发现描绘了一种新的分子机制,通过这种机制,QS系统通过调节洋葱伯克霍尔德菌中LysR家族转录调节因子的表达水平来调节一些靶基因表达和生物学功能。
