Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:87. [PMID: 38189954 PMCID: PMC10774175 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12849-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
Modern requirements for 'green label' meat products have led to the design of novel antimicrobial innovations which prioritise quality, safety and longevity. Plasma-functionalised water (PFW), ultraviolet light and natural antimicrobial compositions have been investigated and optimised for control of foodborne pathogens like Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. However, given the adaptive mechanisms present in bacteria under external stresses, it is imperative to understand the effect that sublethal treatment may have on the bacterial transcriptome. In this study, Salmonella Typhimurium and C. jejuni were treated with sublethal doses of ultraviolet light, a citrus juice/essential oil marinade, and 'spark' or 'glow' cold plasma generation system-produced PFW. Immediately after treatment, cells were lysed and RNA was extracted and purified. mRNA was converted to cDNA by reverse transcription-PCR and sequenced by an Illumina MiSeq® system. Sequences were filtered and analysed using the Tuxedo workflow. Sublethal treatment of Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella Typhimurium led to increased immediate cellular and metabolic activity, as well as diversification in protein and metabolic functioning. There was further expression of pathogenesis and virulence-associated traits associated with spark PFW and marinade treatment of Salmonella Typhimurium. However, similar concerns were not raised with glow PFW or UV-treated samples. This study provides science-based evidence of the efficacy of multi-hurdle antimicrobial system using green-label marinades and PFW or UV to inactivate pathogens without upregulating virulence traits in surviving cells. This study will inform policymakers and food industry stakeholders and reinforces the need to incorporate in-line novel technologies to ensure consumer safety. KEY POINTS: • Salmonella and C. jejuni showed increased cell activity in immediate response to stress. • Virulence genes showed increased expression when treated with natural antimicrobials and sPFW. • Reduced immediate transcriptomic response to gPFW and UV treatment indicates lower risk.

Abstract
Salmonella is a diverse and ubiquitous group of bacteria and a major zoonotic pathogen implicated in several foodborne disease outbreaks worldwide. With more than 2500 distinct serotypes, this pathogen has evolved to survive in a wide spectrum of environments and across multiple hosts. The primary and most common source of transmission is through contaminated food or water. Although the main sources have been primarily linked to animal-related food products, outbreaks due to the consumption of contaminated plant-related food products have increased in the last few years. The perceived ability of Salmonella to trigger defensive mechanisms following pre-exposure to sublethal acid conditions, namely acid adaptation, has renewed a decade-long attention. The impact of acid adaptation on the subsequent resistance against lethal factors of the same or multiple stresses has been underscored by multiple studies. Α plethora of studies have been published, aiming to outline the factors that- alone or in combination- can impact this phenomenon and to unravel the complex networking mechanisms underlying its induction. This review aims to provide a current and updated insight into the factors and mechanisms that rule this phenomenon.

Abstract
Streptomyces are soil bacteria with complex life cycle. During sporulation Streptomyces linear chromosomes become highly compacted so that the genetic material fits within limited spore volume. The key players in this process are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs). Among them, HU (heat unstable) proteins are the most abundant NAPs in the cell and the most conserved in bacteria. HupS, one of the two HU homologues encoded by the Streptomyces genome, is the best-studied spore-associated NAP. In contrast to other HU homologues, HupS contains a long, C-terminal domain that is extremely rich in lysine repeats (LR domain) similar to eukaryotic histone H2B and mycobacterial HupB protein. Here, we have investigated, whether lysine residues in HupS are posttranslationally modified by reversible lysine acetylation. We have confirmed that Streptomyces venezuelae HupS is acetylated in vivo. We showed that HupS binding to DNA in vitro is controlled by the acetylation. Moreover, we identified that CobB1, one of two Sir2 homologues in Streptomyces, controls HupS acetylation levels in vivo. We demonstrate that the elimination of CobB1 increases HupS mobility, reduces chromosome compaction in spores, and affects spores maturation. Thus, our studies indicate that HupS acetylation affects its function by diminishing DNA binding and disturbing chromosome organization.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is an evolutionarily conserved protein modification that changes protein functions and plays an essential role in many cellular processes, such as central metabolism, transcriptional regulation, chemotaxis, and pathogen virulence. It can alter DNA binding, enzymatic activity, protein-protein interactions, protein stability, or protein localization. In prokaryotes, lysine acetylation occurs non-enzymatically and by the action of lysine acetyltransferases (KAT). In enzymatic acetylation, KAT transfers the acetyl group from acetyl-CoA (AcCoA) to the lysine side chain. In contrast, acetyl phosphate (AcP) is the acetyl donor of chemical acetylation. Regardless of the acetylation type, the removal of acetyl groups from acetyl lysines occurs only enzymatically by lysine deacetylases (KDAC). KATs are grouped into three main superfamilies based on their catalytic domain sequences and biochemical characteristics of catalysis. Specifically, members of the GNAT are found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and have a core structural domain architecture. These enzymes can acetylate small molecules, metabolites, peptides, and proteins. This review presents current knowledge of acetylation mechanisms and functional implications in bacterial metabolism, pathogenicity, stress response, translation, and the emerging topic of protein acetylation in the gut microbiome. Additionally, the methods used to elucidate the biological significance of acetylation in bacteria, such as relative quantification and stoichiometry quantification, and the genetic code expansion tool (CGE), are reviewed.

Abstract
Introduction Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) studies play a crucial role in understanding the adaptation and evolution of different bacterial species. In this study, we have investigated the adaptation and evolution of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis to acetic acid using ALE. Materials and methods Acetic acid concentrations below the minimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) were used. Four evolutionary lineages (EL), namely, EL1, EL2, EL3, and EL4, of S. Enteritidis were developed, each demonstrating varying levels of resistance to acetic acid. Results The acetic acid MIC of EL1 remained constant at 27 mM throughout 70 days, while the MIC of EL2, EL3, and EL4 increased throughout the 70 days. EL4 was adapted to the highest concentration of acetic acid (30 mM) and demonstrated the highest increase in its MIC against acetic acid throughout the study, reaching an MIC of 35 mM on day 70. The growth rates of the evolved lineages increased over time and were dependent on the concentration of acetic acid used during the evolutionary process. EL4 had the greatest increase in growth rate, reaching 0.33 (h-1) after 70 days in the presence of 30 mM acetic acid as compared to EL1, which had a growth rate of 0.2 (h-1) after 70 days with no exposure to acetic acid. Long-term exposure to acetic acid led to an increased MIC of human antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and meropenem against the S. enterica evolutionary lineages. The MIC of ciprofloxacin for EL1 stayed constant at 0.016 throughout the 70 days while that of EL4 increased to 0.047. Bacterial whole genome sequencing revealed single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the ELs in various genes known to be involved in S. enterica virulence, pathogenesis, and stress response including phoP, phoQ, and fhuA. We also observed genome deletions in some of the ELs as compared to the wild-type S. Enteritidis which may have contributed to the bacterial acid adaptation. Discussion This study highlights the potential for bacterial adaptation and evolution under environmental stress and underscores the importance of understanding the development of cross resistance to antibiotics in S. enterica populations. This study serves to enhance our understanding of the pathogenicity and survival strategies of S. enterica under acetic acid stress.

Abstract
In reproductive-age women, the vaginal microbiome is typically dominated by one or a few Lactobacillus species, including Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus iners, Lactobacillus paragasseri, Lactobacillus mulieris, and Lactobaccillus crispatus, has been associated with optimal cervicovaginal health; however, much is still unknown about how other lactobacilli metabolically contribute to cervicovaginal health. We hypothesized that metabolites of each Lactobacillus species differ and uniquely contribute to health and homeostasis. To address this hypothesis, we utilized a human three-dimensional (3D) cervical epithelial cell model in conjunction with genomics analyses and untargeted metabolomics to determine the metabolic contributions of less-studied vaginal lactobacilli-L. iners, L. paragasseri, and L. mulieris. Our study validated that vaginal lactobacilli exhibit a close phylogenetic relationship. Genomic findings from publicly available strains and those used in our study indicated that L. iners is metabolically distinct from other species of lactobacilli, likely due to a reduced genome size. Lactobacilli and mock controls were distinguishable based on global metabolic profiles. We identified 95 significantly altered metabolites (P < 0.05) between individual lactobacilli and mock controls. Metabolites related to amino acid metabolism were shared among the lactobacilli. N-Acetylated amino acids with potential antimicrobial properties were significantly elevated in a species-specific manner. L. paragasseri and L. iners shared aromatic, but not carbohydrate-derived, lactic acid metabolites with potential antimicrobial properties that may contribute to homeostasis of the cervicovaginal environment. Additionally, L. iners uniquely altered lipid metabolism, which may be a sign of adaptation to the cervicovaginal niche. Overall, these findings further elucidate the metabolic contributions of three key vaginal Lactobacillus species in gynecological health. IMPORTANCE Lactobacillus species contribute to cervicovaginal health by their production of lactic acid and other antimicrobial compounds. Yet, much is still unknown regarding the metabolic potential of lesser-studied but common vaginal lactobacilli. Here, we used untargeted metabolomics coupled with our 3D cervical epithelial cell model to identify metabolic differences among vaginal Lactobacillus species (Lactobacillus iners, Lactobacillus paragasseri, and Lactobacillus mulieris) and how those differences related to maintaining homeostasis of the cervical epithelium. Human 3D cell models are essential tools for studying host-bacteria interactions and reducing confounding factors inherent in clinical studies. Therefore, these unique models allowed us to decipher the putative lactobacilli mechanisms that contribute to their roles in health or disease. Metabolic analyses revealed distinct profiles of each Lactobacillus species but also shared metabolic contributions associated with antimicrobial activity: amino acid metabolism, N-acetylated amino acids, and aromatic lactic acids. These patterns provided validation of metabolites associated with health in clinical studies and provided novel targets, including immunomodulatory and antimicrobial metabolites, for postbiotic therapies.

Abstract
Macrophages produce itaconic acid in phagosomes in response to bacterial cell wall component lipopolysaccharide to eliminate invading pathogenic bacteria. Itaconic acid competitively inhibits the first enzyme of the bacterial glyoxylate cycle. To overcome itaconic acid stress, bacteria employ the bacterial LysR-type transcriptional regulator RipR. However, it remains unknown which molecule activates RipR in bacterial pathogenesis. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of the regulatory domain of RipR from the intracellular pathogen Salmonella. The RipR regulatory domain structure exhibited the typical dimeric arrangement with the putative ligand-binding site between the two subdomains. Our isothermal titration calorimetry experiments identified isocitrate as the physiological ligand of RipR, whose intracellular level is increased in response to itaconic acid stress. We further found that 3-phenylpropionic acid significantly decreased the resistance of the bacteria to an itaconic acid challenge. Consistently, the complex structure revealed that the compound is antagonistically bound to the RipR ligand-binding site. This study provides the molecular basis of bacterial survival in itaconic acid stress from our immune systems. Further studies are required to reveal biochemical activity, which would elucidate how Salmonella survives in macrophage phagosomes by defending against itaconic acid inhibition of bacterial metabolism.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are a very important group of metabolites located in the gut that play a crucial role in the regulation of gut function and pathogen resistance. Since many enteric pathogens respond differently to various SCFAs, substantial efforts have been made to understand the regulatory effects of SCFA types on enteric pathogens. The application of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) in bacterial research provides a new perspective for studying the regulation of enteric pathogens by different SCFAs. Existing evidence suggests that the SCFAs acetate, propionate, and butyrate influence bacterial processes by extensively promoting the acylation of key bacterial proteins. SCFAs can also prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria by regulating the barrier function and immune status of the host gut. In this review, we describe the mechanisms by which different SCFAs modulate the pathogenicity of enteric pathogens from multiple perspectives. We also explore some recent findings on how enteric pathogens counteract SCFA inhibition. Lastly, we discuss the prospects and limitations of applying SCFAs to control enteric pathogens.

Abstract
Simple Summary In the process of infecting the host, Salmonella senses and adapts to the environment within the host, breaks through the host’s defense system, and survives and multiplies in the host cell. As a class of universal regulators encoded in intergenic space, an increasing number of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) have been found to be involved in a series of processes during Salmonella infection, and they play an important role in interactions with the host cell. In this review, we discuss how sRNAs help Salmonella resist acidic environmental stress by regulating acid resistance genes and modulate adhesion and invasion to non-phagocytic cells by regulating virulent genes such as fimbrial subunits and outer membrane proteins. In addition, sRNAs help Salmonella adapt to oxidative stress within host cells and promote survival within macrophages. Although the function of a variety of sRNAs has been studied during host–Salmonella interactions, many of sRNAs’ functions remain to be discovered. Abstract Salmonella species infect hosts by entering phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells, causing diverse disease symptoms, such as fever, gastroenteritis, and even death. Therefore, Salmonella has attracted much attention. Many factors are involved in pathogenesis, for example, the capsule, enterotoxins, Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPIs), and corresponding regulators. These factors are all traditional proteins associated with virulence and regulation. Recently, small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) have also been reported to function as critical regulators. Salmonella has become a model organism for studying sRNAs. sRNAs regulate gene expression by imperfect base-pairing with targets at the post-transcriptional level. sRNAs are involved in diverse biological processes, such as virulence, substance metabolism, and adaptation to stress environments. Although some studies have reported the crucial roles of sRNAs in regulating host–pathogen interactions, the function of sRNAs in host–Salmonella interactions has rarely been reviewed. Here, we review the functions of sRNAs during the infection of host cells by Salmonella, aiming to deepen our understanding of sRNA functions and the pathogenic mechanism of Salmonella.

Abstract
Sirtuins are deacetylase enzymes widely distributed in all domains of life. Although for decades they have been related only to histones deacetylation in eukaryotic organisms, today they are considered global regulators in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Despite the important role of sirtuins in humans, the knowledge about bacterial sirtuins is still limited. Several proteomics studies have shown that bacterial sirtuins deacetylate a large number of lysines in vivo, although the effect that this deacetylation causes in most of them remains unknown. To date, only the regulation of a few bacterial sirtuin substrates has been characterized, being their metabolic roles widely distributed: carbon and nitrogen metabolism, DNA transcription, protein translation, or virulence. One of the most current topics on acetylation and deacetylation focuses on studying stoichiometry using quantitative LC-MS/MS. The results suggest that prokaryotic sirtuins deacetylate at low stoichiometry sites, although more studies are needed to know if it is a common characteristic of bacterial sirtuins and its biological significance. Unlike eukaryotic organisms, bacteria usually have one or few sirtuins, which have been reported to have closer phylogenetic similarity with the human Sirt5 than with any other human sirtuin. In this work, in addition to carrying out an in-depth review of the role of bacterial sirtuins in their physiology, a phylogenetic study has been performed that reveals the evolutionary differences between sirtuins of different bacterial species and even between homologous sirtuins.

Abstract
The two-component system PhoP/PhoQ is essential for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium virulence. Here, we report that PhoP is methylated extensively. Two consecutive glutamate (E) and aspartate (D)/E residues, i.e., E8/D9 and E107/E108, and arginine (R) 112 can be methylated. Individual mutation of these above-mentioned residues caused impaired phosphorylation and dimerization or DNA-binding ability of PhoP to a different extent and led to attenuated bacterial virulence. With the help of specific antibodies recognizing methylated E8 and monomethylated R112, we found that the methylation levels of E8 or R112 decreased dramatically when bacteria encountered low magnesium, acidic pH, or phagocytosis by macrophages, under which PhoP can be activated. Furthermore, CheR, a bacterial chemotaxis methyltransferase, was identified to methylate R112. Overexpression of cheR decreased PhoP activity but increased PhoP stability. Together, the current study reveals that methylation plays an important role in regulating PhoP activities in response to environmental cues and, consequently, modulates Salmonella virulence.

[PMID: 33806186 PMCID: PMC8065570 DOI: 10.3390/genes12040476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Resistance to and survival under acidic conditions are critical for Salmonella to infect the host. As one of the most prevalent serotypes identified in pigs and humans, how S. Derby overcomes acid stress remains unclear. Here, we de novo sequenced the genome of a representative S. Derby strain 14T from our S. Derby strain stock and identified its acid resistance-associated genes using Tn-seq analysis. A total of 35 genes, including those belonging to two-component systems (TCS) (cpxAR), the CRISPR-Cas system (casCE), and other systems, were identified as essential for 14T to survive under acid stress. The results demonstrated that the growth curve and survival ability of ΔcpxA and ΔcpxR were decreased under acid stress, and the adhesion and invasion abilities to the mouse colon cancer epithelial cells (MC38) of ΔcpxR were also decreased compared with the wild type strain, suggesting that the TCS CpxAR plays an essential role in the acid resistance and virulence of S. Derby. Also, CasC and CasE were found to be responsible for acid resistance in S. Derby. Our results indicate that acid stress induces multiple genes’ expression to mediate the acid resistance of S. Derby and enhance its pathogenesis during an infection.

Regulation of gene expression by protein lysine acetylation in Salmonella. J Microbiol 2020; 58:979-987.

Abstract
Protein lysine acetylation influences many physiological functions, such as gene regulation, metabolism, and disease in eukaryotes. Although little is known about the role of lysine acetylation in bacteria, several reports have proposed its importance in various cellular processes. Here, we discussed the function of the protein lysine acetylation and the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone-like proteins in bacteria focusing on Salmonella pathogenicity. The protein lysine residue in Salmonella is acetylated by the Pat-mediated enzymatic pathway or by the acetyl phosphate-mediated non-enzymatic pathway. In Salmonella, the acetylation of lysine 102 and lysine 201 on PhoP inhibits its protein activity and DNA-binding, respectively. Lysine acetylation of the transcriptional regulator, HilD, also inhibits pathogenic gene expression. Moreover, it has been reported that the protein acetylation patterns significantly differ in the drug-resistant and -sensitive Salmonella strains. In addition, nucleoid-associated proteins such as histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) are critical for the gene silencing in bacteria, and PTMs in H-NS also affect the gene expression. In this review, we suggest that protein lysine acetylation and the post-translational modifications of H-NS are important factors in understanding the regulation of gene expression responsible for pathogenicity in Salmonella.

Abstract
Microbial CO2 fixation and conversion constitute a potential solution to both utilization of greenhouse gas or industrial waste gases and sustainable production of bulk chemicals and fuels. Autotrophic gas-fermenting bacteria play central roles in this bioprocess. This study provides new insights regarding the metabolic regulatory mechanisms underlying CO2 reduction in Clostridium ljungdahlii, a representative gas-fermenting bacterium. A critical formate dehydrogenase (FDH1) responsible for fixing CO2 and a dominant reversible lysine acetylation system, At2/Dat1, were identified. Furthermore, FDH1 was found to be interactively regulated by both the At2/Dat1 system and the global transcriptional factor CcpA, and the two regulatory systems are mutually restricted. Reconstruction of this multilevel metabolic regulatory module led to improved CO2 metabolism by C. ljungdahlii. These findings not only substantively expand our understanding but also provide a potentially useful metabolic engineering strategy for microbial carbon fixation. Protein lysine acetylation, a prevalent posttranslational modification, regulates numerous crucial biological processes in cells. Nevertheless, how lysine acetylation interacts with other types of regulation to coordinate metabolism remains largely unknown owing to the complexity of the process. Here, using a representative gas-fermenting bacterium, Clostridium ljungdahlii, we revealed a novel regulatory mechanism that employs both the lysine acetylation and transcriptional regulation systems to interactively control CO2 fixation, a key biological process for utilizing this one-carbon gas. A dominant lysine acetyltransferase/deacetylase system, At2/Dat1, was identified and found to regulate FDH1 (formate dehydrogenase responsible for CO2 fixation) activity via a crucial acetylation site (lysine-29). Notably, the global transcription factor CcpA was also shown to be regulated by At2/Dat1; in turn, CcpA could directly control At2 expression, thus indicating an unreported interaction mode between the acetylation system and transcription factors. Moreover, CcpA was observed to negatively regulate FDH1 expression, which, when combined with At2/Dat1, leads to the collaborative regulation of this enzyme. Based on this concept, we reconstructed the regulatory network related to FDH1, realizing significantly increased CO2 utilization by C. ljungdahlii.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 263:114534.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction and genomic instability are known to affect female fertility. Aroclor 1254 (A1254) is an endocrine disruptor that affects mitochondrial function following ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure. Numerous studies to date have addressed associations between A1254 toxicity and chronic neurological disorders, while A1254 exposure is little known to have a toxic effect on the female reproductive system. Furthermore, interactive mechanisms between metabolic dysfunction and the repair of DNA damage deserve further investigation. In this paper, an in vitro porcine primary granulosa cell (GC) culture model was used to investigate the mechanisms of exposure and effects of the exogenous chemical carcinogen A1254 on reproductive toxicology. High-throughput RNA sequencing obtained 2329 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to be analyzed using COG classification, GO, and KEGG. When combined with immunofluorescence, Western blot analysis, and real-time RT-PCR analysis, this data showed that the mitochondrial-ROS-driven feed-forward loop increased phospho-PDGFRα/β, which stimulates apoptosis by suppressing the PI3K-Akt pathway. We also noticed that inhibition of the Akt-PDP1-PDK1 axis attenuated mitochondrial function. In contrast, following iPath analysis, partial metabolic pathways were enhanced. Importantly, we found that A1254 activated a DNA damage response, the major regulators of which belong to the PI3K-related protein kinases (PIKKs) and oncogenes, which led to the "Warburg effect". It is not easy to restore the damage that A1254 causes to metabolism through dysregulation and the Warburg effect, owing to the fact that oncogenes can regulate cytoplasmic metabolism. Therefore, we suspect that the PDGFR-PI3K-Akt pathway may be a latent interaction between mitochondrial dysfunction and the response of DNA damage.

Abstract
Salmonella Enteritidis is a major cause of foodborne gastroenteritis and is thus a persistent threat to global public health. The acid adaptation response helps Salmonella survive exposure to gastric environment during ingestion. In a previous study we highlighted the damage caused to cell membrane and the regulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in S. Enteritidis. In this study, we applied both physiologic and iTRAQ analyses to explore the regulatory mechanism of acid resistance in Salmonella. It was found that after S. Enteritidis was subject to a 1 h period of acid adaptation at pH 5.5, an additional 1 h period of acid shock stress at pH 3.0 caused less Salmonella cell death than in non-acid adapted Salmonella cells. Although there were no significant differences between adapted and non-adapted cells in terms of cell membrane damage (e.g., membrane permeability or lipid peroxidation) after 30 min, intracellular ROS level in acid adapted cells was dramatically reduced compared to that in non-acid adapted cells, indicating that acid adaption promoted less ROS generation or increased the ability of ROS scavenging with little reduction in the integrity of the cell membrane. These findings were confirmed via an iTRAQ analysis. The adapted cells were shown to trigger incorporation of exogenous long-chain fatty acids into the cellular membrane, resulting in a different membrane lipid profile and promoting survival rate under acid stress. S. Enteritidis experiences oxidative damage and iron deficiency under acid stress, but after acid adaption S. Enteritidis cells were able to balance their concentrations of intracellular ROS. Specifically, SodAB consumed the free protons responsible for forming reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) and KatE protected cells from the toxic effects of ROIs. Additionally, acid-labile proteins released free unbound iron promoting ferroptotic metabolism, and NADH reduced GSSH to G-SH, protecting cells from acid/oxidative stress.

Abstract
Salmonella can resist various stresses and survive during food processing, storage, and distribution, resulting in potential health risks to consumers. Therefore, evaluation of bacterial survival profiles under various environmental stresses is necessary. In this study, the resistance profiles of five Salmonella isolates [serotypes with Agona, Infantis, Typhimurium, Enteritidis, and a standard strain (ATCC 13076, Enteritidis serotype)] to acidic, hyperosmotic, and oxidative stresses were examined, and the relative expressions of non-coding small RNAs were also evaluated, including CyaR, MicC, MicA, InvR, RybB, and DsrA, induced by specific stresses. The results indicated that although all tested strains displayed a certain resistance to stresses, there was great diversity in stress resistance among the strains. According to the reduction numbers of cells exposed to stress for 3 h, S. Enteritidis showed the highest resistance to acidic and hyperosmotic stresses, whereas ATCC 13076 showed the greatest resistance to oxidative stress, with less than 0.1 Log CFU/ml of cell reduction. Greater resistance of cells to acidic, hyperosmotic, and oxidative stresses was observed within 1 h, after 2 h, and from 1 to 2 h, respectively. The relative expression of sRNAs depended on the isolate for each stress; acidic exposure for the tested isolates induced high expression levels of DsrA, MicC, InvR, RybB, MicA, and CyaR. The sRNA RybB, associated with sigma E and outer membrane protein in bacteria, showed a fold change of greater than 7 in S. Enteritidis exposed to the tested stresses. CyaR and InvR involved in general stress responses and stress adaptation were also induced to show high expression levels of Salmonella exposed to hyperosmotic stress. Overall, these findings demonstrated that the behaviors of Salmonella under specific stresses varied according to strain and were likely not related to other profiles. The finding also provided insights into the survival of Salmonella subjected to short-term stresses and for controlling Salmonella in the food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethanol-type fermentation, one of the fermentation types in mixed cultures of acidogenesis with obvious advantages such as low pH tolerance and high efficiency of H2 production, has attracted widespread attentions. pH level greatly influences the establishment of the fermentation of carbohydrate acidogenesis by shaping community assembly and the metabolic activity of keystone populations. To explore the adaptation mechanisms of ethanol-type fermentation to low pH, we report the effects of initial pH on the physiological metabolism and transcriptomes of Ethanoligenens harbinense-a representative species of ethanol-type fermentation. RESULTS Different initial pH levels significantly changed the cell growth and fermentation products of E. harbinense. Using transcriptomic analysis, we identified and functionally categorized 1753 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). By mining information on metabolic pathways, we probed the transcriptional regulation of ethanol-H2 metabolism relating to pH responses. Multiple pathways of E. harbinense were co-regulated by changing gene expression patterns. Low initial pH down-regulated the expression of cell growth- and acidogenesis-related genes but did not affect the expression of H2 evolution-related hydrogenase and ferredoxin genes. High pH down-regulated the expression of H2 evolution- and acidogenesis-related genes. Multiple resistance mechanisms, including chemotaxis, the phosphotransferase system (PTS), and the antioxidant system, were regulated at the transcriptional level under pH stress. CONCLUSIONS Ethanoligenens adapted to low pH by regulating the gene expression networks of cell growth, basic metabolism, chemotaxis and resistance but not H2 evolution-related genes. Regulation based on pH shifts can represent an important approach to establish and enhance ethanol-type fermentation. The complete gene expression network of ethanol fermentative bacteria for pH response provides valuable insights into the acidogenic fermentation, and offers an effective regulation strategy for the sustainable energy recovery from wastewater and solid waste.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTM) decorate proteins to provide functional heterogeneity to an existing proteome. The large number of known PTMs highlights the many ways that cells can modify their proteins to respond to diverse stimuli. Recently, PTMs have begun to receive increased interest because new sensitive proteomics workflows and structural methodologies now allow researchers to obtain large-scale, in-depth and unbiased information concerning PTM type and site localization. However, few PTMs have been extensively assessed for functional consequences, leaving a large knowledge gap concerning the inner workings of the cell. Here, we review understanding of N-𝜀-lysine acetylation in bacteria, a PTM that was largely ignored in bacteria until a decade ago. Acetylation is a modification that can dramatically change the function of a protein through alteration of its properties, including hydrophobicity, solubility, and surface properties, all of which may influence protein conformation and interactions with substrates, cofactors and other macromolecules. Most bacteria carry genes predicted to encode the lysine acetyltransferases and lysine deacetylases that add and remove acetylations, respectively. Many bacteria also exhibit acetylation activities that do not depend on an enzyme, but instead on direct transfer of acetyl groups from the central metabolites acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl phosphate. Regardless of mechanism, most central metabolic enzymes possess lysines that are acetylated in a regulated fashion and many of these regulated sites are conserved across the spectrum of bacterial phylogeny. The interconnectedness of acetylation and central metabolism suggests that acetylation may be a response to nutrient availability or the energy status of the cell. However, this and other hypotheses related to acetylation remain untested.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification of a protein, either alone or in combination with other modifications, can control properties of that protein, such as enzymatic activity, localization, stability, or interactions with other molecules. N-ε-Lysine acetylation is one such modification that has gained attention in recent years, with a prevalence and significance that rival those of phosphorylation. This review will discuss the current state of the field in bacteria and some of the work in archaea, focusing on both mechanisms of N-ε-lysine acetylation and methods to identify, quantify, and characterize specific acetyllysines. Bacterial N-ε-lysine acetylation depends on both enzymatic and nonenzymatic mechanisms of acetylation, and recent work has shed light into the regulation of both mechanisms. Technological advances in mass spectrometry have allowed researchers to gain insight with greater biological context by both (i) analyzing samples either with stable isotope labeling workflows or using label-free protocols and (ii) determining the true extent of acetylation on a protein population through stoichiometry measurements. Identification of acetylated lysines through these methods has led to studies that probe the biological significance of acetylation. General and diverse approaches used to determine the effect of acetylation on a specific lysine will be covered.

A Putative Acetylation System in Vibrio cholerae Modulates Virulence in Arthropod Hosts. Appl Environ Microbiol 2018; 84:AEM.01113-18.

Abstract
Acetylation is a broadly conserved mechanism of covalently modifying the proteome to precisely control protein activity. In bacteria, central metabolic enzymes and regulatory proteins, including those involved in virulence, can be targeted for acetylation. In this study, we directly link a putative acetylation system to metabolite-dependent virulence in the pathogen Vibrio cholerae We demonstrate that the cobB and yfiQ genes, which encode homologs of a deacetylase and an acetyltransferase, respectively, modulate V. cholerae metabolism of acetate, a bacterially derived short-chain fatty acid with important physiological roles in a diversity of host organisms. In Drosophila melanogaster, a model arthropod host for V. cholerae infection, the pathogen consumes acetate within the gastrointestinal tract, which contributes to fly mortality. We show that deletion of cobB impairs growth on acetate minimal medium, delays the consumption of acetate from rich medium, and reduces virulence of V. cholerae toward Drosophila These impacts can be reversed by complementing cobB or by introducing a deletion of yfiQ into the ΔcobB background. We further show that cobB controls the accumulation of triglycerides in the Drosophila midgut, which suggests that cobB directly modulates metabolite levels in vivo In Escherichia coli K-12, yfiQ is upregulated by cAMP-cAMP receptor protein (CRP), and we identified a similar pattern of regulation in V. cholerae, arguing that the system is activated in response to similar environmental cues. In summary, we demonstrate that proteins likely involved in acetylation can modulate the outcome of infection by regulating metabolite exchange between pathogens and their colonized hosts.IMPORTANCE The bacterium Vibrio cholerae causes severe disease in humans, and strains can persist in the environment in association with a wide diversity of host species. By investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie these interactions, we can better understand constraints affecting the ecology and evolution of this global pathogen. The Drosophila model of Vibrio cholerae infection has revealed that bacterial regulation of acetate and other small metabolites from within the fly gastrointestinal tract is crucial for its virulence. Here, we demonstrate that genes that may modify the proteome of V. cholerae affect virulence toward Drosophila, most likely by modulating central metabolic pathways that control the consumption of acetate as well as other small molecules. These findings further highlight the many layers of regulation that tune bacterial metabolism to alter the trajectory of interactions between bacteria and their hosts.

Abstract
Phosphate concentration extensively modulates the central physiological processes mediated by the two-component system PhoR-PhoP in actinobacteria. The system serves a role beyond phosphate metabolism, mediating crucial functions in nitrogen and carbon metabolism, and secondary metabolism in response to the nutritional states. Here, we found that the phosphate-sensing regulator PhoP was propionylated, and thus lost its DNA-binding activity in vivo and in vitro in Saccharopolyspora erythraea. Two key conserved lysine residues 198 and 203 (K198 and K203) in winged HTH motif at the C-terminal domain of PhoP are propionylated by protein acyltransferase AcuA (encoding by sace_5148). Single amino acid mutation of these two lysine residues resulted in severely impaired binding of PhoP to PHO box. The addition of propionate (to supply precursors for erythromycin biosynthesis) increases the intracellular propionylation level of PhoP, resulting in the loss of response to phosphate availability. Furthermore, simultaneous mutation of K198 and K203 of PhoP to arginine, mimicking the non-propionylated form, promotes the expression of the PhoP regulon under the condition of propionate addition. Together, these findings present a common regulatory mechanism of genes' expression mediated by posttranslational regulation of OmpR family transcriptional regulator PhoP and provide new insights into the multifaceted regulation of metabolism in response to nutritional signals.

Abstract
To explore the adaptation mechanisms of Kandelia candel (L.) Druce in response to daily flooding, a large-scale quantitative lysine acetylome was carried out using immunoaffinity enrichment of Lys-acetylated peptides and liquid chromatography linked to tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 1041 lysine acetylation (LysAc) sites, 1021 Lys-acetylated peptides and 617 Lys-acetylated proteins were identified. Six conserved sequence motifs of the LysAc sites, including a new motif KxxxxK, were detected. Among these proteins, 260 were differentially acetylated in response to flooding, which were preferentially predicted to participate in carbon metabolism and photosynthesis pathways based on KEGG pathway category enrichment analysis. Consistently, the transcriptional level of acetyltransferase and the consumption of acetyl-CoA were up-regulated under flooding conditions. Most of physiological parameters and mRNA expression levels related to carbon metabolism and photosynthesis were found to be insignificantly affected by flooding. Taken together, reversible protein LysAc is likely to be a post-translational mechanism contributing to the mangrove K. candel's adaptation to daily flooding.

Abstract
HilD, a dominant regulator of Salmonella pathogenicity island 1, can be acetylated by protein acetyltransferase (Pat) in Salmonella Typhimurium, and the acetylation is beneficial to its stability. However, the underlying mechanism of HilD stability regulated by acetylation is not clear. We show here that lysine 297 (K297) located in the helix-turn-helix motif, can be acetylated by Pat. Acetylation of K297 increases HilD stability, but reduces its DNA-binding affinity. In turn, the deacetylated K297 enhances the DNA-binding ability but decreases HilD stability. Under the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1-inducing condition, the acetylation level of K297 is down-regulated. The acetylated K297 (mimicked by glutamine substitution) causes attenuated invasion in HeLa cells, as well as impaired virulence in mouse model, compared with the deacetylated K297 (mimicked by arginine substitution), suggesting that deacetylation of K297 is essential for Salmonella virulence. These findings demonstrate that the acetylation of K297 can regulate both protein stability and DNA-binding ability. This regulation mediated by acetylation not only degrades redundant HilD to keep a moderate protein level to facilitate S. Typhimurium growth but also maintains an appropriate DNA-binding activity of HilD to ensure bacterial pathogenicity.

Abstract
AIM Acid is an important environmental condition encountered frequently by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium during its pathogenesis, but the role of small-noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) in response to acid stress is poorly understood. METHODS We used RNA sequencing to explore acid-responsive sRNAs in S. Typhimurium. RESULTS It identified that 6S RNA encoded by the ssrS was significantly upregulated at pH 3.0. The 6S RNA knockout strain showed a reduced ability to survive at pH 3.0. Additionally, genes in Salmonella pathogenicity island-1 were downregulated in the 6S RNA knockout strain. The loss of 6S RNA significantly reduced S. Typhimurium invasion ability in HeLa cells and virulence in a mouse model. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that 6S RNA plays an important role in S. Typhimurium survival under extremely acid conditions and for invasion of epithelial cells.

Abstract
As an important foodborne pathogen, Shigella flexneri can cause widespread enteric infection with bacteria as few as hundreds. This is, at least in part, attributed to its robust anti-acid strategies because passage through the highly acidic human digestive tract is a prerequisite for successful bacterial infection. Nevertheless, our understanding of these mechanisms and the impact of acid stress on Shigella protein expression still remains largely incomplete. Herein we conducted a proteomic survey of Shigella spp. under acid stress. Out of 1754 protein identifications, we found 131 altered proteins, most of which were down-regulated, including virulence factors and cell envelope proteins. Rather, many metabolic enzymes and pyrimidine/amino acid biosynthesis proteins were up-regulated. In addition to induction of many known anti-acid systems, we also found marked increase of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (SucAB), a metabolic enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Importantly, overproduction of this enzyme significantly enhanced Shigella acid resistance and hence SucAB-mediated metabolic pathways may represent novel anti-acid strategies.

Abstract
Protein acetylation is a universal post-translational modification which is found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This process is achieved enzymatically by the protein acetyltransferase Pat, and nonenzymatically by metabolic intermediates (e.g., acetyl phosphate) in bacteria. Protein acetylation plays a role in bacterial chemotaxis, metabolism, DNA replication, and other cellular processes. Recently, accumulating evidence has suggested that protein acetylation might be involved in bacterial virulence because a number of bacterial virulence factors are acetylated. In this review, we summarize the progress in understanding bacterial protein acetylation and discuss how it mediates bacterial virulence.

Abstract
Using the combination of affinity enrichment and high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis, we performed a large-scale lysine malonylation analysis in the model representative of Gram-positive plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42. Altogether, 809 malonyllysine sites in 382 proteins were identified. The bioinformatic analysis revealed that lysine malonylation occurs on the proteins involved in a variety of biological functions including central carbon metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism, NAD(P) binding and translation machinery. A group of proteins known to be implicated in rhizobacterium-plant interaction were also malonylated; especially, the enzymes responsible for antibiotic production including polyketide synthases (PKSs) and nonribosomal peptide synthases (NRPSs) were highly malonylated. Furthermore, our analysis showed malonylation occurred on proteins structure with higher surface accessibility and appeared to be conserved in many bacteria but not in archaea. The results provide us valuable insights into the potential roles of lysine malonylation in governing bacterial metabolism and cellular processes. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Although in mammalian cells some important findings have been discovered that protein malonylation is related to basic metabolism and chronic disease, few studies have been performed on prokaryotic malonylome. In this study, we determined the malonylation profiles of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, a model organism of Gram-positive plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. FZB42 is known for the extensive investigations on its strong ability of producing antimicrobial polyketides and its potent activities of stimulating plant growth. Our analysis shows that malonylation is highly related to the polyketide synthases and the proteins involved bacterial interactions with plants. The results not only provide one of the first malonylomes for exploring the biochemical nature of bacterial proteins, but also shed light on the better understanding of bacterial antibiotic biosynthesis and plant-microbe interaction.

Abstract
Nα- and Nε-acetylation represent a pivotal post-translational modification used by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes to modulate diverse biological processes. Acinetobacter baumannii has been described as an important nosocomial pathogen for the past 30 years, frequently involved in ventilator-associated pneumonia, bloodstream and urinary tract infections. Many aspects of the biology of A. baumannii remain elusive, in particular the extent and function of N-acetylation. We investigated here N-acetylation in A. baumannii strain ATCC 17978 by proteomic analysis, and we showed the usefulness of using different analytical approaches. Overall, we identified 525 N-acetylated proteins in which, 145 were Nα-acetylated and 411 were Nε-acetylated. Among them, 41 proteins carried both types of N-acetylation. We found that N-acetylation may play a role in biofilm formation, bacterial virulence (e.g. in several iron acquisition pathways), as well as a number of phenotypes, such as, stress adaptation and drug resistance. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study is the first to perform the N-acetylome of A. baumannii using different analytical approaches. Each analytical tool permitted to characterize distinctive modified peptides. The combination of all these methods allowed us to identify 145 and 411 Nα- and Nε-acetylated proteins. Besides the fact that acetylation was involved in central metabolism as previously described in other bacteria, some N-acetylated proteins showed interesting role in bacterial virulence (iron acquisition), biofilm formation, stress adaptation and drug resistance of A. baumannii.

Acetylation of Lysine 201 Inhibits the DNA-Binding Ability of PhoP to Regulate Salmonella Virulence. PLoS Pathog 2016; 12:e1005458. [PMID: 26943369 PMCID: PMC4778762 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1005458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 94] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2015] [Accepted: 01/25/2016] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The two-component system PhoP-PhoQ is highly conserved in bacteria and regulates virulence in response to various signals for bacteria within the mammalian host. Here, we demonstrate that PhoP could be acetylated by Pat and deacetylated by deacetylase CobB enzymatically in vitro and in vivo in Salmonella Typhimurium. Specifically, the conserved lysine residue 201(K201) in winged helix-turn-helix motif at C-terminal DNA-binding domain of PhoP could be acetylated, and its acetylation level decreases dramatically when bacteria encounter low magnesium, acid stress or phagocytosis of macrophages. PhoP has a decreased acetylation and increased DNA-binding ability in the deletion mutant of pat. However, acetylation of K201 does not counteract PhoP phosphorylation, which is essential for PhoP activity. In addition, acetylation of K201 (mimicked by glutamine substitute) in S. Typhimurium causes significantly attenuated intestinal inflammation as well as systemic infection in mouse model, suggesting that deacetylation of PhoP K201 is essential for Salmonella pathogenesis. Therefore, we propose that the reversible acetylation of PhoP K201 may ensure Salmonella promptly respond to different stresses in host cells. These findings suggest that reversible lysine acetylation in the DNA-binding domain, as a novel regulatory mechanism of gene expression, is involved in bacterial virulence across microorganisms.

Abstract
Salmonella causes a range of diseases in different hosts, including enterocolitis and systemic infection. Lysine acetylation regulates many eukaryotic cellular processes, but its function in bacteria is largely unexplored. The acetyltransferase Pat and NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase CobB are involved in the reversible protein acetylation in Salmonella Typhimurium. Here, we used cell and animal models to evaluate the virulence of pat and cobB deletion mutants in S. Typhimurium and found that pat is critical for bacterial intestinal colonization and systemic infection. Next, to understand the underlying mechanism, genome-wide transcriptome was analyzed. RNA sequencing data showed that the expression of Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) is partially dependent on pat In addition, we found that HilD, a key transcriptional regulator of SPI-1, is a substrate of Pat. The acetylation of HilD by Pat maintained HilD stability and was essential for the transcriptional activation of HilA. Taken together, these results suggest that a protein acetylation system regulates SPI-1 expression by controlling HilD in a posttranslational manner to mediate S. Typhimurium virulence.

Abstract
Nε-acetylation is emerging as an abundant post-translational modification of bacterial proteins. Two mechanisms have been identified: one is enzymatic, dependent on an acetyltransferase and acetyl-coenzyme A; the other is non-enzymatic and depends on the reactivity of acetyl phosphate. Some, but not most, of those acetylations are reversed by deacetylases. This review will briefly describe the current status of the field and raise questions that need answering.
