1. Bacillus licheniformis escapes from Myxococcus xanthus predation by deactivating myxovirescin A through enzymatic glucosylation
Chuandong Wang, Xinlin Liu, Peng Zhang, Yan Wang, Zhifeng Li, Xun Li, Renqing Wang, Zhaohui Shang, Jingen Yan, Haifeng He, Jing Wang, Wei Hu, Yuezhong Li Environ Microbiol. 2019 Dec;21(12):4755-4772. doi: 10.1111/1462-2920.14817. Epub 2019 Oct 28.
Myxococcus xanthus kills susceptible bacteria using myxovirescin A (TA) during predation. However, whether prey cells in nature can escape M. xanthus by developing resistance to TA is unknown. We observed that many field-isolated Bacillus licheniformis strains could survive encounters with M. xanthus, which was correlated to their TA resistance. A TA glycoside was identified in the broth of predation-resistant B. licheniformis J32 co-cultured with M. xanthus, and a glycosyltransferase gene (yjiC) was up-regulated in J32 after the addition of TA. Hetero-expressed YjiC-modified TA to a TA glucoside (TA-Gluc) by conjugating a glucose moiety to the C-21 hydroxyl group, and the resulting compound was identical to the TA glycoside present in the co-culture broth. TA-Gluc exhibited diminished bactericidal activity due to its weaker binding with LspA, as suggested by in silico docking data. Heterologous expression of the yjiC gene conferred both TA and M. xanthus-predation resistance to the host Escherichia coli cells. Furthermore, under predatory pressure, B. licheniformis Y071 rapidly developed predation resistance by acquiring TA resistance through the overexpression of yjiC and lspA genes. These results suggest that M. xanthus predation resistance in B. licheniformis is due to the TA deactivation by glucosylation, which is induced in a predator-mediated manner.
2. Spatiochemically Profiling Microbial Interactions with Membrane Scaffolded Desorption Electrospray Ionization-Ion Mobility-Imaging Mass Spectrometry and Unsupervised Segmentation
Berkley M Ellis, Caleb N Fischer, Leroy B Martin, Brian O Bachmann, John A McLean Anal Chem. 2019 Nov 5;91(21):13703-13711. doi: 10.1021/acs.analchem.9b02992. Epub 2019 Oct 24.
Imaging the inventory of microbial small molecule interactions provides important insights into microbial chemical ecology and human medicine. Herein we demonstrate a new method for enhanced detection and analysis of metabolites present in interspecies interactions of microorganisms on surfaces. We demonstrate that desorption electrospray ionization-imaging mass spectrometry (DESI-IMS) using microporous membrane scaffolds (MMS) enables enhanced spatiochemical analyses of interacting microbes among tested sample preparation techniques. Membrane scaffolded DESI-IMS has inherent advantages compared to matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and other IMS methods through direct IMS analyses of microbial chemistry in situ. This rapid imaging method yields sensitive MS analyses with unique m/z measurements when compared to liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) via unmediated sampling by MMS DESI-IMS. Unsupervised segmentation imaging analysis of acquired DESI-IMS data reveals distinct chemical regions corresponding to intermicrobial phenomenon such as predation and communication. We validate the method by linking Myxovirescin A and DKxanthene-560 to their known biological roles of predation and phase variation, respectively. In addition to providing the first topographic locations of known natural products, we prioritize 54 unknown features using segmentation within the region of predation. Thus, DESI-IMS and unsupervised segmentation spatially annotates the known biology of myxobacteria and provides functional exploration of newly uncharacterized small molecules.
3. The ROK like protein of Myxococcus xanthus DK1622 acts as a pleiotropic transcriptional regulator for secondary metabolism
Selar Izzat, Shwan Rachid, Ahmad Ajdidi, Yasser A El-Nakady, Xin-Xin Liu, Bang-Ce Ye, Rolf Müller J Biotechnol. 2020 Mar 10;311:25-34. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2020.02.005. Epub 2020 Feb 11.
Myxococcus xanthus DK1622 is known as a proficient producer of different kinds of secondary metabolites (SM) with various biological activities, including myxovirescin A, myxalamide A, myxochromide A and DKxanthene. Low production of SM in the wild type bacteria makes searching for production optimization methods highly desirable. Identification and induction of endogenous key molecular feature(s) regulating the production level of the metabolites remain promising, while heterologous expression of the biosynthetic genes is not always efficient because of various complicating factors including codon usage bias. This study established proteomic and molecular approaches to elucidate the regulatory roles of the ROK regulatory protein in the modification of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Interestingly, the results revealed that rok inactivation significantly reduced the production of the SM and also changed the motility in the bacteria. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay using purified ROK protein indicated a direct enhancement of the promoters encoding transcription of the DKxanthene, myxochelin A, and myxalamide A biosynthesis machinery. Comparative proteomic analysis by two-dimensional fluorescence difference in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was employed to identify the protein profiles of the wild type and rok mutant strains during early and late logarithmic growth phases of the bacterial culture. Resulting data demonstrated overall 130 differently altered proteins by the effect of the rok gene mutation, including putative proteins suspected to be involved in transcriptional regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, development, spore formation, and motility. Except for a slight induction seen in the production of myxovirescin A in a rok over-expression background, no changes were found in the formation of the other SM. From the outcome of our investigation, it is possible to conclude that ROK acts as a pleiotropic regulator of secondary metabolite formation and development in M. xanthus, while its direct effects still remain speculative. More experiments are required to elucidate in detail the variable regulation effects of the protein and to explore applicable approaches for generating valuable SM in this bacterium.
