New regulatory loci which participate in the anaerobic environment inducible gene(ani) expression in Salmonella typhimurium were identified. These regulators (oxr) showed negative regulatory effect on the anaerobiosis inducible operon fusions of this organism in aerobic environment (oxr 107 and oxr 108 to ani 2001, oxr 109 to ani 2007). They were identified as the trans-acting regulators, and increased β-galactosidase activity of ani-lacZ fusion strains up to about 10-240 fold in aerobic environment. By using the library of S. typhimurium chromosomal DNA, two negative regulators (oxr 101 and oxr 109) were cloned. The insert fragment of each clone, pPK32 for oxr 101 and pPK33 to oxr 109 were 7.8Kb and 9.3Kb, respectively. The recombinant plasmid pPK32 didn`t complement the mutation effect of oxr 101 on minimal media but rich media, pPK33 complemented the mutation effect of oxr 109 on both minimal and rich media.

인은 인지질, 탄수화물 및 핵산 등의 생분자 합성에 필요한 원소이다. 세균은 외부환경으로부터 인산이나 인산을 포함하는 영양소를 흡수하여 인을 얻고, 세포대사에 사용되고 남은 인산은 polyphosphate 형태로 저장한다. 현재까지 알려진 다섯 개의 인산 수송 시스템 중, 인산에 특이적으로 높은 친화력을 갖는 Pst 시스템이 가장 중요한 역할을 하며, 그 발현은 세포외부 인산 농도에 반응하는 PhoB-PhoR two component 신호전달 시스템에 의해 조절된다. 반응 조절 단백질 PhoB는 인산 대사뿐 아니라 이와 관계없는 유전자들의 전사를 조절하는 것으로 알려졌으며, 따라서 PhoB의 활성이 조절되지 않으면 많은 종류의 다른 표현형이 나타난다. 본 총설은 각 인산 수송 시스템의 기능이 결여된 세균의 표현형에 대한 최근 연구 결과를 토대로 다음과 같은 내용을 기술하였다. 첫째, 세포 내부 인산의 적정 농도 유지를 위한 인산 수송 시스템들의 역할, 둘째, 인산뿐 아니라 여타 환경 신호와 관련된 수송 시스템의 다양한 표현형, 그리고 마지막으로, 수송 시스템들 간 혹은 그 조절자들 간의 표현형 중복을 분류하여 제시하였다. 이러한 내용은 결국 세균의 대사, 적응반응 및 병원성 발현에 미치는 인산 항상성의 중요성을 강조한다. Phosphorous is an essential element for the synthesis of various biomolecules including phospholipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Bacterial cells can uptake it as forms of phosphate and phosphate-containing nutrients from extracellular environments, and reserve extra phosphate to polyphosphate inside the cell. Among five phosphate transport systems, Pst plays central roles in phosphate transport, and its expression is coordinated by the regulation of PhoB-PhoR two component signal transduction system in response to extracellular levels of phosphate. Genomic studies on the response regulator PhoB reveal many genes independent of phosphate metabolism. Based on recent findings on phenotypes of bacteria lacking proper function of each phosphate transport system, this review discusses roles of phosphate transporters in maintaining optimum intracellular phosphate levels, and presents diverse phenotypes of phosphate transporters related with other environmental signals as well as phosphate, then finally points out functional redundancy among phosphate transport systems or their regulators, which emphasize importance of phosphate homeostasis in governing metabolism, adaptation, and virulence of bacteria.

많은 세균들은 환경적 스트레스에 대항하기 위해 세균 생존에 유용한 특정 유전자들의 전사를 유도하는 대체시그마 인자 RpoS를 활용한다. 세포 내 RpoS 단백질의 농도는 주로 ClpXP 단백질 분해효소의 조절을 통해 결정된다. RpoS를 ClpXP로 전달하기 위해서는 adaptor 단백질 RssB가 반드시 필요하다. Two-component-type response regulator RssB는 RpoS와 지속적으로 상호작용을 하지만, 다양한 환경변화에 의해 RssB-RpoS 상호작용이 억제되어 세균에서 RpoS 양을 증가시킨다. 본 총설에서는 최근까지 연구 된 RssB-RpoS 상호작용에 관여하는 RssB의 anti-adaptor 단백질 IraD, IraM, IraP 등의 조절인자들과 RssB의 N-terminal 수용체 도메인의 인산화에 대해 설명하고 요약하였다. 이러한 RssB의 정교한 활성을 통한 RpoS 분해조절 과정은 외부환경 스트레스로부터 보다 효율적으로 세균을 보호할 수 있다. Against environmental stresses, many bacteria utilize the alternate sigma factor RpoS that induces transcription of the specific set of genes helpful in promoting bacterial survival. Intracellular levels of RpoS are determined mainly by its turnover through proteolysis of ClpXP protease. Delivery of RpoS to ClpXP strictly requires the adaptor protein RssB. The two-component-type response regulator RssB constantly interacts with RpoS, but diverse environmental changes inhibit this interaction through modification of RssB activity, which increases RpoS levels in bacteria. This review discusses and summarizes recent findings on regulatory factors in RssB-RpoS interactions, including IraD, IraM, IraP anti-adaptor proteins of RssB and phosphorylation of N-terminal receiver domain of RssB. New information shows that the coordinated regulation of RssB activity in controlling RpoS turnover confers efficient bacterial defense against stresses.

Purpose: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) can cause salmonellosis, including gastroenteritis and systemic infection in animal hosts such as humans by diet contamination. To replicate and survive in an animal host, S. Typhimurium must compete against host cells for nutrients. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential element for all organisms and is used for cellular signal transduction and synthesis of various biomolecules. Thus, systems for uptake and homeostasis of Pi are required for cell metabolism. Uptake of Pi in S. Typhimurium is mainly regulated by components of the high-affinity adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette-transport system Pst and low-affinity transporter Pit. To identify genetic factors contributing to homeostasis of Pi, this study investigated the transcriptional profiles of Salmonella mutants lacking Pst and Pit transporters experiencing changes in extracellular Pi. Materials and Methods: Transcriptome of pst pit mutant S. Typhimurium in response to low (0.1 mM) and high (10 mM) extracellular Pi were compared by cDNA microarray analysis, respectively. Results: The results show that transcription of argI encoding ornithine carbamoyltransferase and artJ encoding arginine third transport system was significantly induced. Conclusion: Data suggest a relationship between arginine metabolism and Pi homeostasis in S. Typhimurium.

세균의 활성산소종과 활성질소종에 대한 내성에서 NADH dehydrogenase-2 결손의 효과

The electron transport chain (ETC) delivers electrons from many substrates to reduce molecular oxygen to water. ETC accomplishes the stepwise transfer of electrons through series of protein complexes conferring oxidation-reduction reactions with concomitant transport of proton across membrane, generating a proton gradient which leads ATP synthesis by F0F1ATPase. Bacterial ETC initiates with oxidation of NADH by NADH dehydrogenase complex (complex Ⅰ). Therefore, damage of complex Ⅰ leads to insufficient function of ETC and accumulation of NADH inside the cell. Contribution of ETC activity and its consequent changes of NADH levels to bacterial damage response against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) has been poorly understood. In this study, by constructing ndh mutant Salmonella lacking complex Ⅰ NADH dehydrogenase 2, we evaluated the effect of ETC deficiency to bacterial resistance against ROS and RNS. The growth of ndh mutant Salmonella is impaired in the culture media containing hydrogen peroxide, but rather accelerates in the media containing nitric oxide donors. Data suggest that redox potential of NADH accumulated inside the cell by ETC blockage may affect inversely to bacterial resistance against reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species.
