Testo completoThis thesis is divided into two themes.The first theme focuses on the cag Type IV secretion system (cag-T4SS) of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. This is a complex secretion machinery embedded in the bacterium's cellular envelope, enabling it to inject the CagA oncoprotein into human gastric epithelial cells. This toxin is considered a major virulence factor of H. pylori. It interacts with host proteins, disrupting cell signaling and leading to changes that can promote the development of gastrointestinal diseases, including gastric ulcers and cancers. The cag-T4SS is subdivided into three parts: (i) an inner membrane complex, composed essentially of ATPases providing the energy required for its assembly and/or its function; (ii) an outer membrane complex, or core complex, forming a channel that connects the inner and outer membranes; and (iii) an extracellular pilus, the existence of which is still controversial, and which would establish contact between the bacterium and its target, and possibly transfer substrates across the host membrane.The first project focuses on the extracellular pilus. The aim is to obtain data concerning a putative interaction between the CagI and CagL proteins, which are essential for secretion and are thought to be involved in the composition of the cag-T4SS pilus. We overexpressed recombinant versions of these proteins in Escherichia coli and co-purified them by affinity chromatography, demonstrating a direct interaction between them. The ability of DARPins and Nanobodies to bind this complex was tested. Analysis of these complexes was also undertaken by cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM).The second project focuses on the core complex, with the aim of obtaining its structure at high resolution in order to shed light on the remaining grey areas concerning this imposing assembly. Various techniques have been used to solubilize this complex. Its purification remains to be optimized before it can be analyzed by cryoEM. Obtaining such structures could lead to a better understanding of how cag-T4SS functions, and to consider strategies to inhibit its assembly and/or function, thus depriving H. pylori of a major virulence factor.The second theme concerns bacterial spirosomes. The AdhE enzyme is highly conserved in the bacterial kingdom and in certain eukaryotic organisms. It is a bifunctional alcohol/aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, responsible for the conversion of acetyl-CoA to acetaldehyde and then to ethanol during anaerobic alcoholic fermentation. This enzyme is commonly found in its oligomeric form, known as spirosome. Depending on the ligands present in the medium, E. coli spirosomes can have a compact or extended conformation, the latter constituting the active form of the enzyme. Unlike E. coli spirosomes, Streptococcus pneumoniae ones are naturally stabilized in their extended conformation.The aim of this project is to understand the mechanisms behind this conformational difference. CryoEM enabled us to obtain a high-resolution structure of the S. pneumoniae spirosome and thus comparing it with the extended E. coli spirosome. Functional mutagenesis experiments with complementation enabled us to determine which residues are involved in the extension of these spirosomes. As they are involved in pathogenicity and have been shown to be essential to bacterial physiology in the absence of oxygen, in-depth study of their conformation could lead to the discovery of molecules capable of regulating their activity, which could be of major interest in the fields of biotechnology and healthcare

Testo completoThe human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) elicits a tremendous medical burden because of its causative association with peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The pathogenic potential of H. pylori is intricately linked to the expression of a pathogenicity island encoded type IV secretion system (T4SS), which translocates the bacterial effector protein CagA into the eukaryotic host cell. The role of host cell determinants in T4SS mediated pathogenesis has not yet been systematically examined. To elucidate the role of host cell factors within T4SS induced host cell responses, different eukaryotic cell lines were analyzed systematically for respective phenotypes. Remarkably, T4SS mediated host responses among these cell lines varied considerably, thereby demonstrating the importance of host cell components in H. pylori induced pathogenesis. In addition, a H. pylori genome wide bacterial screen for factors important in pathogenesis, such as unknown T4SS components or novel NF-kappaB effector molecules, was developed and optimized. The precise function of the prominent effector protein CagA remains unclear. To functionally characterize the role of CagA, its impact on the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-receptor pathway was analyzed. The results suggest a mechanism where EGF-receptor endocytosis is completely blocked by a CagA induced activation of c-Abl, leading to an elevated receptor surface exposition. Surprisingly, EGF-receptor transactivation and EGF-dependent wound healing are selectively blocked during prolonged infections as well, indicating that an increased receptor-population on the cell surface does not necessarily promote signaling. This data suggests a role for the EGF-receptor in H. pylori- induced ulcer disease. The underlying molecular mechanism was identified as being SHP-2 and CagA dependent.

Testo completoO T4SS pode ser classificado como uma família de transportadores de macromoléculas envolvidos em diferentes funções bacterianas. A maior subfamília do T4SS é a do sistema de conjugação, o qual permite a transferência de material genético entre bactérias. Analogamente à conjugação, o sistema pode transferir material genético entre bactérias e eucariotos, tal como a transferência de T-DNA de Agrobacterium tumefaciens. O sistema de transporte de proteínas efetoras constitui uma segunda subfamília do T4SS, sendo indispensável nos processos de infecção de vários patógenos de mamíferos e plantas. A última subfamília corresponde ao sistema DNA-uptake/release" que funciona independente de contato com uma célula alvo, representado pelos sistemas VirB/D4 de Campylobacter jejuni e ComB de Helicobacter pylori. Muitas características básicas do T4SS são bem conhecidas, entretanto o conhecimento para a classificação simples e intuitiva ou a anotação apropriada das proteínas ainda não está claro, impedindo em alguns casos estabelecer correlações evolutivas deste sistema em bactérias. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de organizar, classificar e integrar o conhecimento do T4SS através da construção de um banco de dados especializado para este sistema secretório bacteriano. O banco de dados T4SS foi criado utilizando o SGBD MySQL e a linguagem de programação Perl e com uma interface web (HTML/CGI) que fornece acesso ao banco. Este banco consta atualmente com 43 genomas bacterianos e 10 plasmídeos obtidos do GenBank NCBI, estes organismos vão desde Actinobactérias até Proteobactérias Gram-negativas, incluindo simbiontes e patogênicos. Foi utilizada a metodologia do Bidirectional Best-Hits", com a qual foi possível obter um conjunto mínimo de 75 clusters" com 974 proteínas envolvidas no T4SS. Também, durante este procedimento foram utilizados os algoritmos BlastP, Muscle e ClustalW. O banco foi anotado manualmente utilizando referências cruzadas incluídas nas páginas de anotação do T4SS, tais como UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, COG, InterPro e TCDB e métodos para predição de regiões de peptídeos sinal e transmembrana. As análises do banco T4SS permitiram criar uma classificação hierárquica e funcional para as proteínas do T4SS, consistindo em cinco grupos: (i) Type IVA Mpf/T4CP; (ii) Type IVA Dtr; (iii) F-type plasmid; (iv) IncP-1-type plasmid; (v) Type IVB Icm/Dot). As 974 proteínas foram anotadas em 68 famílias conhecidas, as quais podem estar envolvidas em conjugação, transferência de T-DNA, transferência de proteínas efetoras, DNA-uptake/release" ou bem serem proteínas bifuncionais. Também, através do método de máxima verossimilhança foram geradas 70 árvores filogenéticas não enraizadas (NR) representando apenas 70 clusters, já que cinco clusters apresentaram apenas duas seqüências de proteínas, cinco árvores filogenéticas NR foram criadas para cada grupo da primeira categoria hierárquica, uma árvore NR com representantes de todos os grupos, uma árvore NR gerada a partir das seqüências 16S de cada organismo e uma árvore de um cluster incluindo uma seqüência de bactéria Gram-positiva como grupo externo. As análises filogenéticas mostram que determinadas proteínas do sistema são mais divergentes que outras, indicando que para uma determinada função poucas mutações de seqüências foram necessárias, já outras proteínas precisaram de maiores mutações para adquirir outras funções. Por isso, verifica-se que proteínas de um mesmo cluster apresentam diferentes funções: conjugação, DNA-uptake/release", traslocadores de proteínas efetoras. Conseqüentemente, foi possível verificar que funções semelhantes se agruparam juntas nas árvores filogenéticas, permitindo anotar uma função provável das proteínas ainda não caracterizadas (unknown"), isto possivelmente devido a que em virtude de sua semelhança de seqüências, possivelmente evoluíram para realizar a mesma função. Assim, as arvores possuíram a finalidade de confirmar a anotação e contribuíram permitindo inferir se os unknown" ou probable" podem ser de uma determinada classificação funcional. O banco T4SS será de uso público, oferecendo ao usuário ferramentas de buscas e submissão de seqüências, as quais permitirão inferir respostas sobre a classificação e filogenia da seqüência T4SS de interesse. O banco de dados T4SS pode ser acessado na URL: http://www.t4ss.lncc.br.

Testo completoBactérias usam sistemas especializados, denominados sistemas de secreção, a fim de translocar substratos para o ambiente ou para outras células, ou até mesmo para capturar moléculas do meio externo. Seis diferentes sistemas de secreção foram descritos em bactérias gram-negativas. O Sistema de Secreção do Tipo IV (T4SS) está envolvido na translocação de fatores de virulência, conjugação bacteriana, absorção e liberação de DNA, e secreção de toxinas antibacterianas. O canal do T4SS (core complex) corresponde a um complexo formado por 14 repetições do heterotrimero VirB7-VirB9-VirB10. A camada externa deste canal é constituída por VirB7 em complexo com os domínios C-terminal de VirB9 (VirB9CT) e VirB10 (VirB10CT). Os domínios N-terminal de VirB9 (VirB9NT) e VirB10 (VirB10NT) formam a camada interna do core complex. Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (Xac) é uma bactéria gram-negativa que infecta plantas cítricas causando uma doença chamada \"cancro cítrico\". Embora não esteja diretamente envolvido na infecção, o T4SS cromossomal secreta toxinas capazes de matar outras bactérias gram-negativas. VirB7 de Xac possui uma cauda N-terminal flexível e um domínio globular C-terminal ausente em outras proteínas VirB7. VirB7 interage com VirB9CT através de sua cauda N-terminal. Nesta tese, a estrutura de RMN do complexo formado por VirB9CT e um peptídeo derivado do segmento N-terminal de VirB7 foi resolvida. O complexo é estabilizado, principalmente, por interações hidrofóbicas envolvendo as cadeias laterais de determinados resíduos de aminoácidos, particularmente a Phe30, o Trp34 e a Val37 em VirB7 e a Arg250, a Tyr167 e a Tyr169 em VirB9. A substituição de alguns destes aminoácidos por alanina afeta não só a constante de dissociação do complexo in vitro, como também a atividade e a montagem do T4SS in vivo. Além disso, resíduos específicos envolvidos em oligomerização de VirB7 são essenciais para a manutenção de um T4SS funcional, embora não sejam essenciais para a montagem do sistema. Estudos estruturais, de dinâmica e de interações de um fragmento derivado da região rica em prolinas (proline-rich region - PRR) contida no N-terminal de VirB10 (VirB10NT - resíduos 85-182) também foram realizados. Medidas de {1H}-15N NOE heteronuclear mostraram que VirB10NT é altamente flexível. Análises de deslocamentos químicos e NOEs mostrou que VirB10NT forma uma hélice curta entre os resíduos 151-163. Ensaios de interação por RMN indicaram que esta hélice está envolvida em interações com VirB9NT. Estes resultados são a primeira evidência convincente para a especificidade de interação entre os domínios N-terminal de VirB9 e VirB10. Estes dados apontam também para a existência de flexibilidade dentro do T4SS de Xac.

Testo completoThe type IV filament (TFF) superfamily is a group of molecular machineries located in the membrane of bacteria and archaea. These machineries assemble non-covalent protein polymers called pili extending away from the cell to perform multiple functions which have evolved specifically to adapt to different host organisms. The TFF superfamily includes the type II secretion system (T2SS) and the type IVa pili (T4aP). The T2SS promotes the secretion of substrates in Gram-negative bacteria. These substrates are in general enzymes degrading complex carbohydrates, peptidoglycan, and lipids, resulting in the release of nutrients. The T4aP are long flexible fibres anchored in the membrane and enable various functions such as twitching motility, DNA uptake and biofilm formation. The mechanism by which the T2SS and T4aP pilus fulfil their different functions is still not completely understood. To understand the mechanism of secretion by T2SS, we studied the structure of the pseudopilin OutG, the major component of the pseudopilus in Dickeya dadantii by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). In a second part, we aimed to address the structure and the assembly of minor pilins, protein components of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli T4aP. We optimised the overexpression, purification and labelling of the minor pilins for their structural study by NMR. Furthermore, molecular modelling of the minor pilins and crosslinking mass spectrometry were performed on whole T4aP and T2SS pseudopili purified samples as a methodology to determine the structure and the interactions of pilins and pseudopilins within the native pilus

Testo completoExchange of genetic information by horizontal gene transfer is an important mechanism for the evolution of bacterial genomes. Legionella pneumophila strains encode different type IV secretion systems and integrative conjugative elements contribute to the variability of the intracellular pathogen. The genomic island Trb-1 of L. pneumophila Corby encodes a functional conjugation and T4ASS. Trb-1 is integrated within the tRNAPro gene and can exist in a chromosomal or an episomal circular form. In addition to the trb/tra genes, a site-specific integrase (int-1) and a Legionella vir region (lvrRABC) are also localized on the genomic island. By deleting the int-1 gene, it could be demonstrated that the excision and of Trb-1 is integrase dependent. Furthermore, in this work it was shown for the first time that the lvr region and especially the putative phage repressor LvrR, is involved in the regulation of Trb-1 excision. Conjugation of Trb-1 in L. oakridgensis does not influence the in vivo fitness of the transconjugants in human macrophages. The genomic islands LpcGI-1 and LpcGI-2 encode a new putative T4SS. For the first time it could be demonstrated, that the T4SS localized on LpcGI-2 is functional. Although LpcGI-2 could be mobilized and transferred via conjugation to another L. pneumophila strain, followed by the site-specific integration into the genome of the transconjugants. LpcGI-1 and LpcGI-2 are flanked by the tRNAThr or tRNAMet gene respectively. Both islands can exist in different chromosomal and episomal forms. The excision of LpcGI-2 occurs similar to Trb-1 in an integrase dependent manner. Two additional genomic islands (LpcGI-Asn and LpcGI-Phe) could be identified in the genome of Lp Corby. Moreover, data of the in silico analysis demonstrated, that genomic islands similar to Trb-1, LpcGI-2 and LpcGI-1 are distributed within the genus Legionella.

Resumo: A Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) é uma bactéria Gram-negativa que parasita plantas cítricas e é responsável pela doença conhecida como cancro cítrico, que apresenta grande importância econômica em todo mundo. Acredita-se que a infecção da célula hospedeira ocorre com atuação dos sistemas de secreção, onde fatores macromoleculares de virulência, normalmente proteínas ou complexos de ácidos nucléicos com proteínas, são excretados para o citosol da célula no caso dos sistemas do tipo III e IV, onde irão interferir no processo celular do hospedeiro. O alvo do estudo é a proteína hipotética XACb0033, codificada pelo locus virB do plasmídio pXac64. Ela foi identificada como possível chaperona secretória do sistema de secreção tipo IV, por apresentar diversas características destas proteínas, como baixo peso molecular, pI ácido e propensão a formação de dímeros, entre outras. A XACb0033 foi clonada no vetor de expressão pET23a(+) e expressa na bactéria Escherichia coli utilizando técnicas de biologia molecular de clonagem e expressão. Os resultados da expressão foram satisfatórios, obtendo-se a proteína em quantidade suficiente para sua purificação seguida pela caracterização estrutural. A XACb0033 foi analisada por Espectrometria de Massas (MALDI-Tof MS), Dicroísmo Circular (CD), fluorescência de emissão estática e dinâmica, Ressonância Magnética Nuclear de Hidrogênio-1 (RMN de H) e Espalhamento de raios-X a baixo ângulo (SAXS). Todos os dados indicam que a XACb0033 apresenta estrutura enovelada, não interage com os nucleotídeos (ATP e ADP) e tende em agir em forma dimerica seguindo o modelo de uma chaperona secretória, e, por fim, a estrutura do seu envelope molecular foi obtida.
Abstract: Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) is a Gram-negative bacterium that parasites citric plants all over the world and is responsible for causing the citrus canker with significant economic importance. It is believed that infection of the host cell occurs with activity of Xac¿s secretion systems, where macromolecular virulence factors, usually proteins or nucleic acid complexes with proteins, are excreted into the cytosol of the host cells as in the case of type III and IV systems, where they will interfere with the key cell processes. The aim of our study was structural characterization of the XACb0033, Xac¿s hypothetical protein, encoded by the locus virB of pXac64 plasmid. This protein was identified as a possible type IV secretion system chaperona because it presents many features of these proteins, such as low molecular weight, acidic pI, and propensity to form dimers, among others. The XACb0033 was cloned at expression vector pET23a (+) and expressed in Escherichia coli using molecular biology techniques for cloning and expression. The expression results were satisfactory, obtaining sufficient protein for its purification followed by structural characterization. The XACb0033 was analyzed by Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-Tof MS), Circular Dichroism (CD), static and dynamic Fluorescence, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H NMR) and by Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). All collected data indicated that XACb0033 has folded structure, does not interact with nucleotides (ATP and ADP) and tends to act in dimeric form, following a model of a secretory chaperona, and, at last but not at least, its molecular envelope structure has been obtained.

Testo completoThe type IV secretion system (T4SS) of the bacteria family Xanthomonadaceae transfers effectors (X-Tfes) with that can kill other bacterial cells, conferring an advantage to the bacterial community during colonization of different niches in the soil or on the plant surface. The X-Tfes possess different putative domains with hydrolytic activity against components of the bacterial cellular envelope, including glycohydrolase, transglycolase, amidase and lipase domain. The innate biological activity of X-Tfes can cause intracellular damage. Therefore, the bacteria that produce them also produce lipoproteins with inhibitor function (X-Tfis) located in the periplasm for their protection. The genes that code for X-Tfes and X-Tfis are organized in operons that allow for their simultaneous expression. Among the X-Tfes of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri are Xac1918 and Xac0574. Xac1918 is carries a lysozyme superfamily domain, as well as a domain known as RTX (Repeats in Toxic) predict to bind calcium, while, Xac0574 has a domain belonging to the lipase 3 superfamily. Their possible inhibitors, Xac1917 e Xac0573 respectively, carry an N-terminal signal peptide containing a lipobox found in bacterial lipoproteins. The Xac0574 and Xac0573 proteins are both monomers in solution, They can form a stable 1:1 complex, that is thermodynamically favored (ΔG°= -12 Kcal/mol) with a dissociation constant of 2,45 nM. This affinity ensure that the bacterium is protected against the harmful effects of Xac0574 when it is produced intracellularly. We show that Xac0574 is a phospholipase A1, without lisophospholipase activity, and is able to hydrolyze the three most common phospholipids found in the membranes of Gram negative bacteria, namely phosphatidylglycerol (PG), cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), presenting an apparent preference for PE. The enzymatic activity of Xac0574 explains the strong inhibition of growth of E. coli cells after its heterologous induction: a nearly 10-fold decrease in the cell population is observed when compared to the non-induced culture with the same construct. On the other hand, Xac0573 effectively inhibits the enzymatic activity of Xac0574. Furthermore, Xac0573 does not possess when forming the complex, besides not having phospholipase nor lysophospholipase activity.Crystals of Xac1918 and Xac0573 were produced which diffracted with to resolution of 3.0 and 2.5 Å, respectively. However, we were able to resolve the structure of only Xac0573. Xac0573 is composed of two anti-parallel sheet that form a β-sandwich with three small helices. An alignment to Xac0573 homologs identified conserved regions at the ends of the protein that constitute two possible interfaces of interaction that may be responsible for blocking the access of the phospholipids to the catalytic site or impede the structural rearrangements of Xac0574 that are necessary for its enzymatic activity. Additionally, the topology of Xac0573 is similar to that to C2 domains, known in eukaryotes to bind lipids and calcium and to be involved in signaling processes mediated by lipid second messengers, membrane trafficking and membrane fusion mechanisms. Our results point to a new biological function of the C2 domain as an intracellular enzyme inhibitor in bacteria.

Resumo: A bactéria gram-negativa Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) é responsável pelo cancro cítrico, uma doença de grande importância econômica em todo o mundo. Seus mecanismos de virulência ainda são pouco conhecidos, mas acredita-se que o processo de translocação das proteínas de virulência para a célula da planta hospedeira seja realizado por meio dos sistemas de secreção, principalmente do tipo III e hipoteticamente do tipo IV, onde se destaca o papel das chaperones secretórias. O alvo do nosso estudo é uma proteína hipotética, a XACb0032, que em ensaios de duplo híbrido, apresentou interação com a também hipotética XACb0033 anteriormente indicada como possível chaperone do sistema secretório tipo IV (TTFS). Ambas as proteínas hipotéticas são codificadas pelo locus virB do plasmídeo pXAC64. Os estudos estruturais apresentados iniciaram-se com a clonagem em pET23a, seguidos de testes de expressão desta proteína utilizando cepas de Escherichia coli, BL21(DE3)pLysS e RP códon plus. A expressão da XACb0032 foi bem sucedida utilizando a cepa RP códon plus. Os problemas encontrados para purificar a insolúvel XACb0032 foram resolvidos utilizando a sua co-expressão com a XACb0033. Após dois passos de purificação, obtivemos o complexo das proteínas (XACb0032/XACb0033) puro e em quantidades satisfatórias para análises espectroscópicas. O complexo destas proteínas foi analisado por dicroismo circular (CD), emissão de fluorescência (estática e dinâmica), ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) e espalhamento de raios-X a baixo ângulo (SAXS). Todos os dados obtidos indicaram que o complexo purificado exibe a estrutura enovelada e que após a adição de adenosina difosfato (ADP) ocorre uma mudança evidente na sua forma e no seu tamanho, indicando uma possível quebra do complexo XACb0032/XACb0033 após a liberação de ADP na célula. Portanto, podemos supor que o sistema de secreção do tipo IV deve funcionar da seguinte maneira: 1. Ligação da chaperone XACb0033 à XACb0032 mantendo-a em uma conformação semi-desenovelada; 2. Ligação do complexo ao ATP; 3. Reconhecimento do sistema ATP + complexo pelo TTFS, logo a ATPase cliva o ATP; 4. Formação do ADP e sua presença promove a dissociação da XACb0032 do complexo; 5. Possível secreção da proteína alvo, ou seja, a XACb0032 poderia passar através do canal de secreção até atingir a célula eucariótica
Abstract: Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) is the causative agent of citrus canker, a disease of significant economic importance worldwide. The molecular bases of the virulence mechanism are still unknown, but is believed that transfer of bacterial virulence proteins directly into the host cell cytoplasm is mediated by protein secretion systems, mainly type III and hypotheticaly type IV. The target of our study was XACb0032. This protein, in two hibrid system, interacted with XACb0033, a protein previously annoted as a possible cytoplasmatic chaperone of type four secretion system (TFSS). Both proteins are hypothetic and encoded by virB locus on pXAC64 plasmid. Structural studies were initiated by pET23a cloning; followed by expression tests with Escherichia coli strands BL21(DE3)pLysS and RP. The XACb0032 RP-expression was successful, however, the protein was insoluble. This problem was solved with its co-expression with XACb0033. After two purification steps, the pure protein complex has been analysed by following spectroscopic methods: circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence emission (static and dinamic), nuclear magnetic ressonance (NMR) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Our results indicate that the complex shows a folded structure and that after ADP addition, a drastic change occured in the complex size and shape, that might indicate complex breaking upon ADP production in cell. Based on these observations, we can provide the following model for TFSS pathway concerning these proteins: 1. The chaperone (XACb0033) binds to the XACb0032 to keep it in a semiunfolded conformation; 2. This complex binds with ATP; 3. ATP bound to complex docks onto the TFSS apparatus and ATPase hydrolysis ATP; 4. ADP is formed and its presence provides that XACb0032 protein dissociates from complex; 5. The XACb0032 could be able to pass through the needle into the eukaryotic cell

Testo completoXanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) is a gram-negative bacterial phytopathogen that infects citrus. One possible virulence determinant is a chromosomally encoded Type IV Secretion System (T4SS), a multiprotein complex that spans the bacterial periplasm and both inner and outer membranes. The T4SS is used by some bacteria to secrete proteins and/or DNA to the extracellular milieu or the host interior. The model T4SS from Agrobacterium tumefaciens is made up of twelve structural proteins: VirB1-VirB11 and VirD4. The Xanthomonas T4SS is apparently incomplete because of the lack of a polypeptide with sequence similarity to VirB7. The aim of this project is the study of structure-function relationships in the Xanthomonas T4SS. Twenty-three T4SS protein-coding genes, including full-length proteins or domains, were cloned and the proteins were produced in different E. coli strains. Thirteen polypeptides were purified and some of them were submitted to structural, spectroscopic and protein-protein interaction studies. We used NMR to solve the solution structure of Xac262224-139 which consists of an unfolded N-terminal segment of ~30 residues followed by a globular domain. Xac262224-139 oligomerizes in fast exchange at the NMR time scale and interacts via its unfolded N-terminus with the VirB9 C-terminus (VirB9154-255) in slow exchange. NMR analysis showed that VirB9154-255 has a flexible structure in solution. However, this polypeptide undergoes a significant conformational modification in the presence of Xac2622,24-139 and both proteins become rigid upon interaction. Xac2622 is the Xanthomonas VirB7, based on the chromosomal localization of its gene, predicted subcellular localization and protein interaction analysis. But surprisingly, unlike other VirB7 proteins, Xac2622 has an extra C-terminal folded domain whose topology and structure are strikingly similar to that of periplasmic domains found in outer membrane proteins of many bacterial Secretion Systems. Knockout of the xac2622 gene, however, does not affect the Xac virulence in orange leaf infection assays. The Xac2622 folded domain was also crystallized, and these crystals diffracted up to 1.0 Å resolution and belong to the space group C2221. The preliminary refined model has Rfactor of 0.121 and Rfree of 0.147. Crystals of three other T4SS proteins have been obtained, but only one of them diffracted to high resolution (2.0 Å; space group C2). Xac2610 is a hypothetical protein whose gene is located in the T4SS locus, and its interactions were studied with VirB9, VirB11 and Xac2609, a putative T4SS substrate. The potential T4SS secretion signal is a conserved, approximately 115 residues, C-terminal domain found in the putative substrates of the Xanthomonas T4SS. This sequence mediates interactions with VirD4. We have characterized this domain from one substrate and it is mainly unfolded. This observation may have functional implications, as the substrates are unfolded before their secretion through the T4SS channel

Testo completoHydrophobic organic compounds (HOC), a large family of naturally-produced or anthropogenic molecules including lipids and hydrocarbons, represent a significant part of organic matter in marine ecosystems. Because of their low solubility in water, bacteria that degrade those compounds require the establishment of specific cell functions to increase their biodisponibility. Biofilm formation in water-HOC interface is one of these adaptations. The model of bacteria used in our laboratory, Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus SP17, is able to form a biofilm on a wide range of HOC, such as alkanes, fatty alcohols and triglycerides, in order to use them as a carbon and energy source. The main purpose of my work was to broaden the knowledge of how bacteria adhere to and from biofilms on HOC, through the functional characterization of 10 candidate genes highlighted during proteomic and transcriptomic studies. Genetic tools and a gene-specific functional characterization have been developed in order to carry out this project. Functional study conducted on MARHY2686 revealed its involvement in the formation of biofilm on alkanes. Co-expression of MARHY2686 and the adjacent genes MARHY2687 and MARHY2685 durnig transcriptomic analysis together with their phylogenetic distribution and synteny conservation suggest that these three genes are involved in the same biological process. According to the high peptide sequence identity between MARHY2686 and AdeT, a periplasmic protein of a tripartite efflux pump system of Acinetobacter baumanii, MARHY2686 in combination with MARHY2687 and MARHY2685 could be the components of such a system. Other phenotypic observations would consider the involvement of MARHY2686 either in the assimilation of HOC or in the accumulation of intracellular lipid reserves. M. hydrocarbonoclasticus SP17 uses type IV pili during biofilm formation on HOC. These appendages are involved in the adhesion of this strain to and in a detachment process from HOC. Type IV pili could either act directly to allow bacteria to detach from the surface to which it is adhered, or indirectly through the action of bacteriophages. The presence of twitching motility on HOC has also been suggested. Finally, the role of the type VI secretion system (T6SS), a well-known protein system which allows interactions between bacteria and host cells, during the formation of a mono-species biofilm on HOC where no other microorganism than M. hydrocarbonoclasticus SP17 is present, has been studied

The type IV secretion system can be classified as a large family of macromolecule transporters divided in three recognized sub-families involved in different bacterial functions. The major sub-family of T4SS is the conjugation system, which allows transfer of genetic material as a nucleoprotein via cell contact among bacteria. Analogously to bacterial conjugation, the T4SS can transfer genetic material from bacteria to eukaryotic cells; such is the case of T-DNA transfer of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to host plant cells. The system of effector proteins transport constitutes the second sub-family, being indispensable for infection processes of several mammalian and plants pathogens. The third sub-family corresponds to the DNA uptake/release system involved in genetic transformation competence, independently of cell contact, as it was described to the systems VirB/D4 from Campylobacter jejuni and ComB form Helicobacter pylori. Several essential features of T4SS are well known, but the knowledge in support of an uncomplicated classification or proper protein annotation of system subunits remains confusing, which in same cases can avoid making inferences about evolution of the system in bacterial species. The purpose of this work was to organize, classify and integrate the knowledge about T4SS through building a database devoted to this bacterial secretion system. The T4SS database was created using the SGBD MySQL and Perl programming language and with a web interface (HTML/CGI) that gives access to the database. Currently, this database hold genomic data from 43 bacteria and 10 plasmids acquired from the GenBank NCBI, these organisms comprise groups from Actionobacteria to Gram-negative Proteobacteria including symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria. By applying Bidirectional Best-Hits method was possible to get a core set of 75 clusters with 974 proteins involved in the T4SS. Also, during this procedure BlastP, Muscle e ClustalW algorithms were applied. The database was manually annotated supported by cross references built-in the T4SS annotation pages, such as the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, COG, InterPro and TCDB as well as by the methods for signal peptide and transmembrane regions prediction. All T4SS protein records scattered into 75 ortholog clusters were organized into five different classes of type IV secretion system proteins: (i) Type IVA Mpf/T4CP; (ii) Type IVA Dtr; (iii) F-type plasmid; (iv) IncP-1-type plasmid; (v) Type IVB Icm/Dot. All 974 proteins were annotated into 68 well-known families, which can be involved in conjugation, effector translocator, DNA uptake/release or even can be bifunctional proteins. Also, by using the Maximum Likelihood method were built 70 unrooted phylogenetic trees that represents just 70 clusters instead of 75, this is due to five clusters had only two protein sequences, five unrooted phylogenetic trees were built for each group of first hierarchical classification, one unrooted phylogenetic trees including proteins from archetype systems of all groups, one unrooted phylogenetic trees from 16S sequence of each organism and one rooted tree including a sequence from a Gram-positive bacteria as an external group. The phylogenetic analyses show that some proteins of T4SS are more divergent than others, which indicate that for a particular function few sequence mutations were needed, but other proteins required many sequence mutations to get another functions. Thus, these results proved that proteins belong to the same cluster show different functions: conjugation, DNA uptake/release or effector translocator. Consequently, it was possible verify that similar functions were grouped together within phylogenetic tree, which allowed to annotate a probable function of some uncharacterized proteins, that is possibly due to the sequence similarity may reveal a similar evolution to get the same function. Thus, the phylogenetic trees allowed confirming the protein annotation as well as inferring whether uncharacterized proteins would encompass a known function. The T4SS database will be an open access, given to the users searching and submission sequence tools, which will permit to get insights about classification and phylogeny of T4SS sequence of interest.

O T4SS pode ser classificado como uma família de transportadores de macromoléculas envolvidos em diferentes funções bacterianas. A maior subfamília do T4SS é a do sistema de conjugação, o qual permite a transferência de material genético entre bactérias. Analogamente à conjugação, o sistema pode transferir material genético entre bactérias e eucariotos, tal como a transferência de T-DNA de Agrobacterium tumefaciens. O sistema de transporte de proteínas efetoras constitui uma segunda subfamília do T4SS, sendo indispensável nos processos de infecção de vários patógenos de mamíferos e plantas. A última subfamília corresponde ao sistema DNA-uptake/release" que funciona independente de contato com uma célula alvo, representado pelos sistemas VirB/D4 de Campylobacter jejuni e ComB de Helicobacter pylori. Muitas características básicas do T4SS são bem conhecidas, entretanto o conhecimento para a classificação simples e intuitiva ou a anotação apropriada das proteínas ainda não está claro, impedindo em alguns casos estabelecer correlações evolutivas deste sistema em bactérias. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de organizar, classificar e integrar o conhecimento do T4SS através da construção de um banco de dados especializado para este sistema secretório bacteriano. O banco de dados T4SS foi criado utilizando o SGBD MySQL e a linguagem de programação Perl e com uma interface web (HTML/CGI) que fornece acesso ao banco. Este banco consta atualmente com 43 genomas bacterianos e 10 plasmídeos obtidos do GenBank NCBI, estes organismos vão desde Actinobactérias até Proteobactérias Gram-negativas, incluindo simbiontes e patogênicos. Foi utilizada a metodologia do Bidirectional Best-Hits", com a qual foi possível obter um conjunto mínimo de 75 clusters" com 974 proteínas envolvidas no T4SS. Também, durante este procedimento foram utilizados os algoritmos BlastP, Muscle e ClustalW. O banco foi anotado manualmente utilizando referências cruzadas incluídas nas páginas de anotação do T4SS, tais como UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, COG, InterPro e TCDB e métodos para predição de regiões de peptídeos sinal e transmembrana. As análises do banco T4SS permitiram criar uma classificação hierárquica e funcional para as proteínas do T4SS, consistindo em cinco grupos: (i) Type IVA Mpf/T4CP; (ii) Type IVA Dtr; (iii) F-type plasmid; (iv) IncP-1-type plasmid; (v) Type IVB Icm/Dot). As 974 proteínas foram anotadas em 68 famílias conhecidas, as quais podem estar envolvidas em conjugação, transferência de T-DNA, transferência de proteínas efetoras, DNA-uptake/release" ou bem serem proteínas bifuncionais. Também, através do método de máxima verossimilhança foram geradas 70 árvores filogenéticas não enraizadas (NR) representando apenas 70 clusters, já que cinco clusters apresentaram apenas duas seqüências de proteínas, cinco árvores filogenéticas NR foram criadas para cada grupo da primeira categoria hierárquica, uma árvore NR com representantes de todos os grupos, uma árvore NR gerada a partir das seqüências 16S de cada organismo e uma árvore de um cluster incluindo uma seqüência de bactéria Gram-positiva como grupo externo. As análises filogenéticas mostram que determinadas proteínas do sistema são mais divergentes que outras, indicando que para uma determinada função poucas mutações de seqüências foram necessárias, já outras proteínas precisaram de maiores mutações para adquirir outras funções. Por isso, verifica-se que proteínas de um mesmo cluster apresentam diferentes funções: conjugação, DNA-uptake/release", traslocadores de proteínas efetoras. Conseqüentemente, foi possível verificar que funções semelhantes se agruparam juntas nas árvores filogenéticas, permitindo anotar uma função provável das proteínas ainda não caracterizadas ( unknown"), isto possivelmente devido a que em virtude de sua semelhança de seqüências, possivelmente evoluíram para realizar a mesma função. Assim, as arvores possuíram a finalidade de confirmar a anotação e contribuíram permitindo inferir se os unknown" ou probable" podem ser de uma determinada classificação funcional. O banco T4SS será de uso público, oferecendo ao usuário ferramentas de buscas e submissão de seqüências, as quais permitirão inferir respostas sobre a classificação e filogenia da seqüência T4SS de interesse. O banco de dados T4SS pode ser acessado na URL: http://www.t4ss.lncc.br.

Testo completoHorizontal transfer of DNA is one of the major motors of evolutive forces. It allows bacteria to obtain extra biological functions such as new metabolic pathways, resistance factors against environmental stresses and adaption to therapeutic strategies. The opportunistic human pathogen P. aeruginosa PA14 is a gram-negative bacterium with a large genome plasticity partially due to genomic island acquisition. The major genomic acquisition is PAPI-1 which considerably increases the virulence potential of the PA14 strain. Indeed, a strain of P. aeruginosa without PAPI-1 is less infectious against various organisms. This genomic island, belonging to ICE family, is self-transmissible among P. aeruginosa species via a conjugative machinery (T4SS-GI) requiring at least 55 genes encoded within it. During my PhD, I proved that MvaT repress the conjugative pilus biosynthesis and that the anti-H-NS NdpA2 can release this repression to allow the transcriptional regulation factor (TRF) TprA to induce T4SS-GI synthesis. I also proved that TprA controls phenotype changes in P. aeruginosa PA14 through the regulation of the majority of PAPI-1 encoded genes. Through this work I also characterised the domain leading to the specificity of action of RHH family TRF. As a matter of fact, the N-terminal region of these TRF interacts directly with DNA leading their binding specificity. At last, by a random mutagenesis screening, I identified what seems to be a regulation cascade of horizontal transference in P. aeruginosa PA14

Testo completoLa sécrétion est le passage de macromolécules à travers les membranes cellulaires. Chez les bactéries, la sécrétion est essentielle pour la virulence et la survie. Les bactéries à Gramnégatif utilisent le système de sécrétion de type IV (SST4) pour la sécrétion de toxines et de nucléoprotéines. Les SST4 contribuent notamment à la propagation des gènes de résistance aux antibiotiques. Pour cette raison, les composants du SST4 sont des cibles potentielles pour le développement de médicaments antivirulence. Le SST4 est un complexe protéique qui s’étend entre la double membrane de la bactérie à Gram-négatif. Les protéines qui le composent sont insérées dans les membranes cellulaires ou solubles. Bien que la structure du pore central du SST4 ait été résolue récemment, les détails de l'assemblage et la structure de ce complexe ne sont pas connus. VirB8 est une protéine de la membrane interne qui interagit avec de nombreuses autres sous-unités du SST4. Il s’agit d’un acteur central de l'assemblage du SST4. Des études biophysiques, et notamment des expériences de RMN ont ainsi été réalisées pour caractériser les aspects structuraux des interactions avec VirB8. Des regions dynamiques dans la structure de VirB8 ont été identifiées par spectroscopie RMN lors de la transition entre la forme monomérique et dimérique. Les analyses de cristallographie et de RMN ont révélé des différences structurales dans les régions hélicoïdales (α1 et α4) de VirB8 wild-type et du variant monomérique VirB8M102R. Le criblage de fragments a permis d’identifier de petites molécules capables de se lier à VirB8 ainsi qu’au variant monomérique. Les analyses d’arrimage moléculaire in silico suggèrent que la rainure de surface dans la structure VirB8 est importante pour laliaison de ces petites molécules. Les expériences de RMN et les essais biochimiques révèlent que le feuillet β (β1 en particulier) constitue l'interface d’interaction entre VirB8 et VirB10. Cette interface d’interaction est d’ailleurs importante pour la conjugaison du SST4. De plus, j'ai identifié des changements dans la structure de VirB8 lors de l'interaction avec VirB5. Les études sur la protéine VirB8 nous ont permis de caractériser la séquence d'événements entre VirB8 et d'autres protéines VirB, régulant l'assemblage et la fonction du SST4.
