Lipopolysaccharide perception in Arabidopsis thaliana: Diverse LPS chemotypes from Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas campestris trigger differential defence-related perturbations in the metabolome. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2020; 156:267-277.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are microbe-associated molecular pattern molecules (MAMPs) from Gram-negative bacterial pathogens that potentially contain three different MAMPs (the O-polysaccharide chain, the oligosaccharide core and lipid A). LPSs was purified from Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas campestris and electrophoretically profiled. Outcomes of the interactions of the three different LPS chemotypes with Arabidopsis thaliana, as reflected in the induced defence metabolites, profiled at 12 h and 24 h post elicitation, were investigated. Plants were pressure-infiltrated with LPS solutions and methanol-based extractions at different time points were performed for untargeted metabolomics using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Multivariate data modelling and chemometric analysis were applied to generate interpretable biochemical information from the multidimensional data sets. The three LPSs triggered differential metabolome changes in the plants as apparent from chromatographically distinct MS chromatograms. Unsupervised and supervised multivariate data models exhibited time- and treatment-related variations, and revealed discriminating metabolite variables. Heat map models comparatively displayed the up-regulated pathways affecting the metabolomes and Venn diagrams indicated up-regulated and shared metabolites among the three LPS treatments. The altered metabolomes reflect the up-regulation of metabolites from not only the glucosinolate pathway, but also from the shikimate-phenylpropanoid-flavonoid -, terpenoid - and indolic/alkaloid pathways, as well as oxygenated fatty acids. Distinct phytochemical profiles, especially at the earlier time point, suggest differences in the perception of the three LPS chemotypes, associated with the molecular patterns within the tripartite lipoglycans.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2018 Burkholderia species are a vast group of human pathogenic, phytopathogenic, and plant- or environment-associated bacteria. B. pseudomallei, B. mallei, and B. cepacia complex are the causative agents of melioidosis, glanders, and cystic fibrosis-related infections, respectively, which are fatal diseases in humans and animals. Due to their high resistance to antibiotics, high mortality rates, and increased infectivity via the respiratory tract, B. pseudomallei and B. mallei have been listed as potential bioterrorism agents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Burkholderia species are able to produce a large network of surface-exposed polysaccharides, i.e., lipopolysaccharides, capsular polysaccharides, and exopolysaccharides, which are virulence factors, immunomodulators, major biofilm components, and protective antigens, and have crucial implications in the pathogenicity of Burkholderia-associated diseases. This review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account regarding the structural elucidation and biological activities of surface polysaccharides produced by Burkholderia species. The chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides mimicking Burkholderia polysaccharides is described in detail. Emphasis is placed on the recent research efforts toward the development of glycoconjugate vaccines against melioidosis and glanders based on synthetic or native Burkholderia oligo/polysaccharides.

Abstract
We have studied the exopolysaccharide produced by Cobetia marina DSMZ 4741, a marine bacterium isolated from coastal seawater. This strain is able to produce a polysaccharide in presence of carbon sources as glucose, mannitol and alginate. The maximum production occurs in aerobic condition, during the end of the exponential phase. The polymer is a non-viscous, acidic heteropolysaccharide of 270kDa constituted of a repeating unit of: This kind of chemical structure is generally related to K-antigen polysaccharide of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. This is the first time this type of EPS is described from a marine bacterium. Moreover the polysaccharide exhibits a pyruvate substitution on its 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (KDO) residue never encountered before. The discovery of such an unexpected EPS with high biotechnological potential is a new incentive for a better exploration of bioactive marine resources.

Abstract
Depressed heart rate variability in severe inflammatory diseases can be partially explained by the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-dependent modulation of cardiac pacemaker channels. Recently, we showed that LPS inhibits pacemaker current in sinoatrial node cells and in HEK293 cells expressing cloned pacemaker channels, respectively. The present study was designed to verify whether this inhibition involves LPS-dependent intracellular signalling and to identify structures of LPS responsible for pacemaker current modulation. We examined the effect of LPS on the activity of human hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 (hHCN2) stably expressed in HEK293 cells. In whole-cell recordings, bath application of LPS decreased pacemaker current (IhHCN2) amplitude. The same protocol had no effect on channel activity in cell-attached patch recordings, in which channels are protected from the LPS-containing bath solution. This demonstrates that LPS must interact directly with or close to the channel protein. After cleavage of LPS into lipid A and the polysaccharide chain, neither of them alone impaired IhHCN2, which suggests that modulation of channel activity critically depends on the integrity of the entire LPS molecule. We furthermore showed that β-cyclodextrin interfered with LPS-dependent channel modulation predominantly via scavenging of lipid A, thereby abrogating the capability of LPS to intercalate into target cell membranes. We conclude that LPS impairs IhHCN2 by a local mechanism that is restricted to the vicinity of the channels. Furthermore, intercalation of lipid A into target cell membranes is a prerequisite for the inhibition that is suggested to depend on the direct interaction of the LPS polysaccharide chain with cardiac pacemaker channels.

Abstract
The isolation, characterization and regulation of the first lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive S-domain receptor-like kinase (RLK) in Nicotiana tabacum are reported. The gene, corresponding to a differentially expressed LPS-responsive EST, was fully characterised to investigate its involvement in LPS-induced responses. The full genomic sequence, designated Nt-Sd-RLK, encodes for a S-domain RLK protein containing conserved modules (B-lectin-, S- and PAN-domains) reported to function in mediating protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions in its extracellular domain, as well as the molecular architecture to transduce signals intracellularly through a Ser/Thr kinase domain. Phylogenetic analysis clustered Nt-Sd-RLK with S-domain RLKs induced by bacteria, wounding and salicylic acid. Perception of LPS induced a rapid, bi-phasic response in Nt-Sd-RLK expression with a 17-fold up-regulation at 3 and 9h. A defence-related W-box cis element was found in the promoter region of Nt-Sd-RLK and the transient induction of Nt-Sd-RLK in cultured cells by LPS exhibited a pattern typical of early response defence genes. Nt-Sd-RLK was also responsive to salicylic acid induction and was expressed in differentiated leaf tissue, where LPS elicited local as well as systemic up-regulation. The results contribute new knowledge about the potential role that S-domain RLKs may play within interactive signal transduction pathways associated with immunity and defence.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides are structural components within the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria. The LPSs as microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) molecules can trigger defense-related responses involved in MAMP-triggered immunity and basal resistance in plants, presumably from an initial perception event. LPS from Burkholderia cepacia as well as two fragments, the glycolipid, lipid A and the polysaccharide (OPS-core) chain, were used to treat Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings to evaluate the eliciting activities of the individual LPS sub-domains by means of Annealing Control Primer-based Differential Display transcript profiling. Genes found to be up-regulated encode for proteins involved in signal perception and transduction, transcriptional regulation and defense - and stress responses. Furthermore, genes encoding proteins involved in chaperoning, secretion, protein-protein interactions and protein degradation were differentially expressed. It is concluded that intact LPS, as well as the two sub-components, induced the expression of a broad range of genes associated with perception and defense as well as metabolic reprogramming of cellular activities in support of immunity and basal resistance. Whilst the lipid A and OPS moieties were able to up-regulate sub-sets of defense-associated genes over the same spectrum of categories as intact LPS, the up-regulation observed with intact LPS was the more comprehensive, suggesting that the lipid A and glycan molecular patterns of the molecule act as partial agonists, but that the intact LPS structure is required for full agonist activity.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are major, indispensable cell surface components of Gram-negative bacteria that have diverse roles in bacterial pathogenesis of plants. Environmental strains of Burkholderia cepacia have been described as phytopathogens, growth promotors, biocontrol agents and bioremediation agents. We have previously shown that LPSs from B. cepacia can be recognized as microbe-associated molecular pattern molecules, to elicit defense responses in plants. Recent findings suggest that the lipid A moiety might be partially responsible for LPSs perception. These studies were extended by analysis of the structure and biological activity of the lipid A moiety of LPSs of B. cepacia(.) The full structure was determined by a combination of negative/positive-ion matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) on intact and partially degraded substrates. B. cepacia lipid A was found to contain a tetra- or penta-acylated, 1,4'-diphosphorylated, β-(1-6)-linked D-GlcN disaccharide and further substituted by L-Ara4N in position 4'. As primary fatty acids, R-configurated 16:0(3-OH) (amide-linked in 2 and 2') and 14:0(3-OH) (ester-linked in 3 and 3', nonstoichiometric) were identified. A secondary 14:0 was located at position 2'. Its biological activity to elicit defense-related responses was subsequently investigated by monitoring the changes in the transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Genes found to be upregulated code for proteins involved in signal perception and transduction, transcriptional regulation, defense and stress responses. Furthermore, genes encoding proteins involved in chaperoning, protein interactions and protein degradation were differentially expressed as part of the metabolic reprogramming of cellular activities in support of immunity and defense.

Abstract
The genus Burkholderia includes many bacteria that cause serious human infections. As is the case with other Gram-negative bacteria, Burkholderia species produce LPS, which is an abundant component of the bacterial cell surface. Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria (which include at least 17 separate species) produce LPS structures that are quite different. In an attempt to determine the degree of LPS epitope variation among Bcc species, a mAb was produced, designated 5D8, specific for the LPS of B. cepacia. Western blot analysis determined that mAb 5D8 was able to produce the classic 'ladder pattern' when used to probe B. cepacia and Burkholderia anthina lysates, although 5D8 did not produce this pattern with the other seven Bcc species tested. mAb 5D8 reacted with varying intensity to most but not all of the additional B. cepacia and B. anthina strains tested. Therefore, there seems to be significant epitope variation among Bcc LPS both between and within species. Additionally, mAb 5D8 reacted with a proteinase-K-sensitive 22 kDa antigen in all Bcc strains and also in a strain of Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Abstract
The Burkholderia cepacia complex comprises 10 closely related Gram-negative organisms all of which appear capable of causing disease in humans. These organisms appear of particular relevance to patients with cystic fibrosis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an important virulence determinant in Gram-negative pathogens. In this review, we highlight important data within the field commenting on LPS/lipid A structure-to-function relationships and cytokine induction capacity of Burkholderia strains studied so far.
