Herpesviren weisen einen komplexen Replikationszyklus auf, innerhalb dessen die einzelnen Schritte der Morphogenese der Nachkommenviren in unterschiedlichen zellulären Kompartimenten ablaufen. Während die Kapsidmorphogenese und Genomverpackung im Zellkern der infizierten Zelle stattfinden, erfolgt die weitere Reifung zu infektiösen Virionen im Cytoplasma. Voraussetzung hierfür ist ein als nuclear egress bezeichneter Prozess, durch den die Kapside mittels eines envelopment-deenvelopment-Mechanismus an der Kernhülle Zugang zum Cytoplasma erhalten. Zielstellung der vorliegenden Arbeit war, mittels konfokaler Laser-Scanning-Mikroskopie eine geeignete live-cell imaging-Methodik zu entwickeln, mit der der Transport der Kapside durch die Kernhülle dargestellt werden konnte, um die Dynamik dieses Prozesses aufzuklären.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage all cellular macromolecules and also produce secondary reactive intermediates, like reactive electrophilic species (RES) that include quinones or aldehydes. Low molecular weight (LMW) thiols are small thiol-containing compounds that play essential roles in the defense against ROS and RES in all organisms. The best studied LMW thiol is the tripeptide glutathione (GSH). Firmicutes bacteria including Bacillus und Staphylococcus species have been recently discovered to utilize the redox buffer bacillithiol (BSH). LMW thiols function as redox buffers to maintain the reduced state of the cytoplasm. Under conditions of oxidative stress, LMW thiols also react with protein thiols to form mixed LMW thiol – protein disulfides, termed S-thiolations, as major protection mechanism. Investigating the role of BSH in oxidative stress response and ROS-induced S-thiolations in Firmicutes bacteria was one subject of this PhD thesis. Specifically, the regulatory mechanisms and post-translational thiol-modifications in response to NaOCl stress were studied in the model bacterium for low-GC Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis. The transcriptome profile after NaOCl stress was indicative of disulfide stress and overlapped strongly with the response to diamide. NaOCl stress caused induction of the thiol- and oxidative stress-specific Spx, CtsR, PerR and OhrR regulons. Thiol redox proteomics identified only few NaOCl-sensitive proteins with reversible thiol-oxidations. Using mass spectrometry, eleven proteins were identified that were oxidized to mixed BSH protein disulfides (S-bacillithiolated) in B. subtilis cells after NaOCl-exposure. Methionine synthase MetE is the most abundant S-bacillithiolated protein in B. subtilis and other Bacillus species after NaOCl exposure. S-bacillithiolation of OhrR repressor leads to upregulation of the OhrA peroxiredoxin that confers together with BSH specific protection against NaOCl. S-bacillithiolation of MetE, YxjG, PpaC, and SerA causes hypochlorite-induced methionine starvation as supported by the induction of the S-box regulon. To further assess the conservation of targets for S-bacillithiolations in other Firmicutes bacteria, we studied the S-bacillithiolomes of Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Staphylococcus carnosus under NaOCl stress conditions. In total, 54 S-bacillithiolated proteins were identified, including 29 unique proteins and 8 conserved proteins involved in amino acid and cofactor biosynthesis, nucleotide metabolism, translation, protein quality control, redox and antioxidant functions. Together our data support a major role of BSH redox buffer in redox control and thiol protection of conserved and essential proteins against irreversible oxidation by S-bacillithiolations in Firmicutes bacteria. In response to ROS and RES, bacteria also activate the expression of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes, such as catalases, peroxidases, thiol-dependent peroxiredoxins and other specific oxidoreductases to detoxify ROS and RES. These defense mechanisms are often controlled by redox-sensitive transcription factors. B. subtilis encodes redox-sensing MarR-type regulators belonging to the OhrR and DUF24-families that are conserved among bacteria. Hence, we were further interested in this PhD thesis to study at the molecular and structural level the redox-sensing mechanisms of novel redox-sensing MarR/DUF24-type regulators in B. subtilis. We have characterized the regulatory mechanisms of HypR, YodB and CatR that sense and respond to hypochlorite, diamide and quinones stress. HypR is the first DUF24-family regulator whose crystal structure was resolved. HypR senses specifically disulfide stress and controls positively expression of the flavin oxidoreductase HypO after NaOCl and diamide stress. HypR resembles a 2-Cys-type regulator with a reactive nucleophilic N-terminal Cys14 and a second C-terminal Cys49. Besides HypR, B. subtilis encodes further MarR/DUF24-family members including the paralogous YodB and CatR repressors that sense quinones and diamide. YodB controls the azoreductase AzoR1, the nitroreductase YodC, and the Spx regulator. YodB resembles a 2-Cys-type MarR/DUF24-family regulator with three Cys residues (Cys6, Cys101, and Cys108) that form intermolecular disulfides in vivo under oxidative stress. YodB and its paralog CatR were further identified as repressors of the catDE operon encoding a catechol-2,3-dioxygenase that also contributes to quinone resistance. Although CatR is a 1-Cys-type regulator, our data showed that CatR also forms intermolecular disulfide in response to diamide and quinones in vitro. Thus, HypR, YodB and CatR are controlled by 2-Cys-type thiol-disulfide redox switches to sense disulfide and RES stress conditions, and to control specific RES detoxification enzymes.
Die Analyse bakterieller Phosphoproteome rückt durch die Einflussnahme von Phosphorylierungsereignissen im Virulenzgeschehen pathogener Mikroorganismen immer weiter in den Vordergrund. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit lag auf der globalen Analyse bakterieller Phosphoproteome unter Anwendung verschiedener Techniken der Proteomforschung. Ziel war es, einen möglichst umfassenden Überblick über das cytosolische Phosphoproteom zu gewinnen, die Dynamik der Protein-Phosphorylierungen unter verschiedenen physiologischen Bedingungen zu analysieren und daraus folgend Hinweise auf regulatorische Mechanismen zu erhalten. Im Zuge der Untersuchungen zum Phosphoproteom von Bacillus subtilis wurde das auf den phosphosensitiven Pro-Q® Diamond-Farbstoff basierende 2D-Gel-Färbeprotokoll optimiert und validiert. Ferner wurde dieses Protokoll erfolgreich für die Untersuchungen des Phosphoproteoms von Mycoplasma pneumoniae und Staphylococcus aureus eingesetzt. Durch die Etablierung einer Methode zur Phosphopeptidanreicherung konnte der Blick auf das Gesamtphosphoproteom von S. aureus komplementiert werden. Insgesamt war es dadurch möglich, 103 phosphorylierte Proteine und 68 verschiedene Phosphorylierungsstellen von S. aureus zu identifizieren, darunter z. B. den Virulenzregulator SarA, dessen Phosphorylierung einen Hinweis auf seine mögliche Regulation aufzeigt. Zusätzlich konnten die Phosphorylierungsergebnisse der Fruktose-1,6-Bisphosphataldolase erste Hinweise auf eine Regulation der Substratbindung liefern und einen Erklärungsansatz enstehen lassen, der die Wirkungslosigkeit einiger in der Literatur beschriebenen Enzyminhibitoren (potentielle antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe) in in vivo Studien darlegt. In einem auf der Pro-Q® Diamond-Färbung beruhenden Quantifizierungsansatz konnten 10 signifikante Veränderungen in der Signalintensität der phosphorylierten Proteine unter Glukosehunger, nitrosativem, oxidativem und osmotischem Stress festgestellt werden. Diese liefern erste Indizien auf durch Phosphorylierungsereignisse gesteuerte Regulationsmechanismen. Besonders die unter nitrosativen Stress neu auftretenden putativ phosphorylierten Proteinspots der Proteine FdaB (Fruktose-Bisphosphataldolase) und HchA (molekulares Chaperon Hsp31/Glyoxalase 3) lassen Spekulationen über neue Stoffwechselwege, wie z. B. einen Methylglyoxal detoxifizierenden Mechanismus, zu. Darüber hinaus konnten durch die Glukosehungerexperimente und die Spezifizierung der Phosphorylierungsstelle T537 der Pyruvatkinase von S. aureus ein Regulationsmechanismus vorgeschlagen werden, der das "Finetuning" des Energieladungszustandes der Zelle über einen Phosphorylierungs- und Dephosphorylierungsmechanismus beschreibt. Von weiterem Interesse war die Identifizierung von am Arginin phosphorylierten Peptiden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde hierfür das Phosphopeptid-anreicherungsprotokoll optimiert, so dass in Zusammenarbeit mit A. Elsholz (Inst. f. Mikrobiologie, EMAU Greifswald) die Identifizierung von phosphorylierten Argininresten der Argininkinase McsB und der ATPase ClpC in B. subtilis möglich wurde. Darüber hinaus wurde die Methode in globalen Untersuchungen einer Phosphatasemutante (∆ywlE, B. subtilis) angewandt. Mittels der im Rahmen dieser Arbeit durchgeführten massenspektrometrischen Analyse der angereicherten Peptide konnten 111 Arginin-Phosphorylierungsstellen identifiziert werden. Zur Verbesserung der Quantifizierung von phosphorylierten Proteinen in B. subtilis wurde ein Protokoll entwickelt, indem das Auftrennungspotential des 2D-Gels, die Identifizierung phosphorylierter Proteine anhand des Pro-Q® Diamond-Farbstoffs und die auf die metabolische Markierung beruhende Quantifizierung miteinander kombiniert wurde. Im Ergebnis konnte anhand dieser Methode eine bessere Reproduzierbarkeit und eine höhere Sensitivität bei geringeren Veränderungen im Vergleich zu dem Pro Q® Diamond basierten Quantifizierungsansatz erzielt werden.
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) represents the third most produced species of diadromous fish, with the total production of 0,732 million tonnes in 2009. More than one third of this production comes from Europe, where it is dominated by Norway, Italy and France. Germany is the fifth biggest producer in Europe, producing 21 thousand tonnes of rainbow trout in the value of 6,1 million Euro. However, the conditions in the intensive aquaculture often increase the disease susceptibility to many pathogens. One of the highest economic threats for a salmonids aquaculture is the causative agent of furunculosis, Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida. Several strategies have been developed to protect the fish, but the traditional methods are either laborious or represent a potential risk for the environment. The selective breeding established more than 35 years ago in the brackish waters of Baltic Sea represent a attractive alternative, delivering a novel strain of rainbow trout better adapted to the brackish environment and exhibiting reduced mortality in the infection with A.salmonicida. Nevertheless, no information was available about the fundaments of this phenomenon. Thus, the aim of presented study was the identification of immune adaptations, which occurred during the 30 years of selection and favoured increased survival of “born” trout to the bacterial diseas es. In the presented work, the peritoneal cavity of rainbow trout has been used as a model for the investigation of disease resistance in fish. In the first chapter, the peritoneal cavity has been described as a unique niche of teleost immune system and the kinetic of peritoneal leukocytes induced by the stimulation has been analysed. Furthermore, a unique set of monoclonal antibodies has been used to evaluate the contribution of distinct cell populations on the inflammation and its resolution. In the second part of the study, the transcriptional changes of peritoneal leukocytes have been evaluated using the GRASP microarray. The following analysis provided unique insights into the local immune response in rainbow trout. The unprecedented combination of both data sets offers an unparalleled description of the local immune response in teleost fish and can be summarized into following facts. In general, the obtained results revealed, that the unstimulated peritoneal cavity is populated predominantly by lymphocytes with IgM+ Bcells being the major cells type. The rapid changes in the composition induced by the stimulation were underlined by the upregulation of major proinflammatory molecules such as IL1β, IL8 and TNFα within 12hpi. Although the initial phase of the reaction was dominated by myeloid cells, the cavity underwent within 72 hours two complete changes in the composition corresponding with the massive changes in the transcriptome. Eventually, the resolution of inflammation was marked by an increasing number of lymphocytes and correlated with the downregulation of pro-inflammatory genes to the initial level and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL10 and TGFβ. Besides the general observations common to all treatments and both strains, our experiments revealed also remarkable differences between the antigenic stimulation and reaction towards pathogen. From these differences following conclusions can be drawn; the infection induces comparable reaction pattern as the stimulation, although the intensity of the reaction and number of cells is higher. These observations correlated with the higher expression of inflammatory molecules after the infection. Viable bacteria also prolong the myeloid phase of the reaction and delay the resolution of inflammation. Finally, model of peritoneal inflammation caused by A. salmonicida has been applied also to the second strain of rainbow trout, known for its higher resistance to infection. The comparison of obtained data suggested that resistant trout reacted to the antigenic stimulation and infection with a lower number of cells despite minor differences in the expression level of major pro-inflammatory molecules during early stages of the infection. Eventually, the resolution of inflammation and onset of adaptive immune response occurred in resistant trout almost 24 hours earlier and was correlating with an increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL10 and TGFβ. Notably, the increased survival of resistant strain correlates with the increased expression of antibacterial proteins such as NRAMP and hepcidin. Taken together, obtained data provided unprecedented insights into the local immune response in teleost fish and identified features conserved during the selection breeding in the brackish water of Baltic Sea. Additionally, combination of cellular and molecular data elucidates the peritoneal inflammation in fish and suggested high conservation of the immune response in the evolution.
This thesis will discuss the different fields of application of the two soft ionization techniques ESI and MALDI in microbial proteomics and their importance for a better understanding of bacteria physiology. The general development in the past 25 years coming from 2D-gel analysis and protein identification by peptide mass fingerprint analysis via MALDI-TOF to genome wide quantitative LC-ESI-MS experiments with fast and sensitive ESI instruments is exemplary shown for the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis in article I. Even though 2D-PAGE in conjunction with MALDI-MS is still an important tool in proteomic research, the more recently established global quantitative LC-ESI-MS workflows gain more and more relevance as they overcome 2D-PAGE based protein restrictions and enable the acquisition of higher accurate protein quantities. In article II such a workflow was used to analyze the physiological adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin treatment on a global-scale. Also post-translational modifications of proteins, that are important for regulation of their activity and allow rapid adaption to changed environmental conditions, could be analyzed by LC-ESI-MS workflows using special enrichment strategies (article III and IV). Despite the mentioned discrimination and less accurate quantification of proteins, 2D-PAGE analyses are still advantageous when analyzing large-scale time series experiments. To gain highly time resolved data but also very accurate relative quantities on a global-scale, 2D-PAGE-MALDI-MS and LC-ESI-MS techniques have been combined to investigate dynamic proteome adaptations of B. subtilis during nutrition shift as part of a global systems biology approach (article V). Also absolute quantities of proteins are of high interest for systems biology, but are still challenging to obtain on large-scale as well as with sufficient accuracy. In article VI a method that again combined 2D-PAGE-MALDI-MS and LC-ESI-MS was introduced to gain absolute protein quantities on global-scale. Utilizing the complementarity of 2D-PAGE and LC-ESI-MS this new workflow enabled fast and cost efficient data acquisition on absolute scale. In article VII we described for the first time a global quantitative LC-MALDI-MS workflow. Cross validation with an LTQ Orbitrap proofed that LC-MALDI-MS is able to process complex samples and obtain highly reliable quantities. The comparative analysis of data gained with both instrument types revealed biases for certain biochemical properties of MALDI as well as ESI instruments, resulting in a general complementarity of both ionization techniques.

Herpesviren nutzen zwei unterschiedliche Zellkompartimente für die Morphogenese. Während der Kapsid-Zusammenbau und die DNA Verpackung im Zellkern stattfinden, erfolgt die weitere Assemblierung im Zytoplasma. Um dorthin zu gelangen muss die Kernmembranbarriere überwunden werden. Hierfür knospen die Nukleokapside an der inneren Kernmembran und erhalten dort eine primäre Virushülle, die allerdings nach Fusion mit der äußeren Kernmembran wieder verloren geht. Für diesen als envelopment-deenvelopment bezeichneten Vorgang ist ein Komplex aus zwei viralen Proteinen notwendig. Er besteht aus pUL34, einem Membranprotein der Kernmembran und dessen Interaktionspartner pUL31. Beide Proteine allein reichen aus, um Membranvesikel von der inneren Kernmembran abzuschnüren. Ziel dieser Arbeit war, diesen nuclear egress weiter zu charakterisieren. Hierfür sollte zunächst geklärt werden, welche Domänen von pUL34 für dessen korrekte Lokalisierung in der Kernmembran und der Interaktion mit dem Komplexpartner pUL31 notwendig sind. Dazu wurden chimäre Proteine aus Teilen des pUL34 und zellulären Proteinen der inneren Kernmembran hergestellt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die pUL34-Transmembrandomäne keine virusspezifische Funktion besitzt und durch entsprechende Bereiche zellulärer Proteine ausgetauscht werden kann. Auch die Erweiterung der Substitution auf 50 C-terminale Aminosäuren führte zu einem funktionellen Protein, während ein Konstrukt mit einem Austausch von 100 C-terminalen Aminosäuren durch entsprechende Lap2ß Sequenzen den Defekt der PrV-deltaUL34-Deletionsmutante nicht mehr komplementieren konnte. Dennoch war noch immer eine Interaktion mit dem Komplexpartner möglich. Dies zeigte, dass zwischen den C-terminalen Aminosäuren 50 und 100 ein virusspezifischer, funktionell wichtiger Bereich liegt, der in nachfolgenden Arbeiten weiter eingegrenzt werden muss. In früheren Arbeiten konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Aminosäuren 1-162 des PrV pUL34 für die Interaktion mit pUL31 ausreichen. Für das engverwandte HSV-1 konnte dieser Bereich jedoch auf die Aminosäuren 137 und 181 eingegrenzt werden. Um dies für PrV pUL34 näher zu untersuchen wurde das Konstrukt pUL34-LapNT hergestellt, bei dem die 100 N-terminalen Aminosäuren durch Lap2ß Sequenzen ersetzt wurden. Hier zeigte sich jedoch, dass pUL34-LapNT das pUL31 nicht mehr an die innere Kernmembran rekrutieren konnte und folglich den Defekt der PrV-delta UL34-Deletionsmutante nicht mehr komplementierte. Im Gegensatz zu HSV-1 scheinen hier auch die N-terminalen 100 Aminosäuren für die Interaktion mit pUL31 notwendig zu sein. Da die Expression von pUL34 und pUL31 allein ausreicht, um die Bildung von Membranvesikeln von der inneren Kernmembran abzuschnüren, sollte im Weiteren getestet werden, ob auch Kapside in diese Vesikel aufgenommen werden. Da bei Herpesviren die Kapside autokatalytisch gebildet werden und dies bereits für einige Herpesviren über Expression in rekombinanten Baculoviren nachgestellt werden konnte, sollte versucht werden, dies auch für PrV zu etablieren. Dabei sollte die Kapsidbildung über Transduktion in Säugerzellen unabhängig von einer PrV Infektion nachgestellt werden. Hierbei sollte geklärt werden, welche weiteren viralen Proteine, neben den eigentlichen Kapsidproteinen, wie z.B. das pUL17 und pUL25, für den nuclear egress notwendig sind. Obwohl alle Kapsidkomponenten kloniert und auch in Zellen exprimiert werden konnten, konnte keine Kapsidbildung nachgewiesen werden. Die Ursachen hierfür konnten nicht geklärt werden. Auffällig war, dass das Triplexprotein pUL38 in den Baculovirus-transduzierten Zelllysaten ein etwas anderes Laufverhalten als das in Zelllysaten PrV-infizierter Zellen aufwies, dessen Ursache nicht auf der Verwendung eines downstream lokalisierten Startkodons beruhte. Mit Hilfe dieser rekombinanten Baculovirusvektoren konnte jedoch gezeigt werden, dass das Hauptkapsidprotein pUL19 mit dem Gerüstprotein (pUL26 bzw. pUL26.5) und die Triplexproteine pUL18 und pUL38 gemeinsam in den Kern transportiert werden. Die Beteiligung zellulärer Proteine am nuclear egress sollte über siRNA Experimente untersucht werden. In einer vorangegangen Arbeit war gezeigt worden, dass p97, eine zelluläre AAA+ATPase, nach Infektion vermehrt exprimiert wurde. Ziel war es, die p97 Expression über siRNA zu reduzieren und den Effekt auf die Virusinfektion zu untersuchen. Eine erfolgreiche siRNA Studie war bereits für p97 in Rattenzellen publiziert und sollte hier angewandt werden. Leider waren die zur Verfügung stehenden Rattenzelllinien nur sehr ineffizient transfizierbar und zusätzlich auch schlecht mit PrV infizierbar. Das eigene Design und die Anwendung von p97 spezifischer siRNA für Kaninchenzellen zeigte zwar die gewünschte Reduktion der p97 Expression, war jedoch nur sehr schlecht reproduzierbar und konnte daher nicht für aussagekräftige Infektionsversuche verwendet werden.
Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium infecting the human host. It’s multifaced adaptation to various environmental conditions is mediated by a tight regulation of the virulence factors influencing the host’s immune system. In this thesis two regulators of gene expression were analysed: (i) the global influence of the two-component system SaePQRS and (ii) the regulation of superantigen gene expression by the alternative sigma factor σB. At the outset of this thesis, single target genes induced by SaeRS were known (hla, hlb, cap5, fnbA, coa). In order to get a general idea of the Sae-regulon, the influence of SaePQRS on gene-expression was analysed in two strain backgrounds by proteomics and transcriptomics aproaches. Recapitulatory, expression of at least 18 secreted and two covalently cell-wall bound proteins was decreased following inactivation of the Sae-system. Sae-dependently expressed were, amongst others, well decribed virulence factors like the y-hemolysins HlgA, HlgB, HlgC, LukM and LukF, the innate immune system modulating proteins Efb, CHIPS and SCIN-B as well as the enterotoxin SEB. SaeR acts as an activator of its target genes. Some proteins were detected in increased amounts in the extracellular proteome of the Sae-deficient strain. However, these changes did not occur at the transcriptional level. The expression of virulence factors is determined by other global regulators. No influence of SaePQRS on the transcription of five substancial regulators, namely the Agr-system and its effector molecule RNAIII, the alternative sigma factor σB, the two-component system ArlRS and the DNA-binding protein SarA, could be shown. In the second part of this thesis the issue was broached to the regulation of gene-expression of a subgroup of virulence factors, the superantigens (SAgs) of S. aureus by SaePQRS and σB. In contrast to their well described molecule structure and function, the regulation of their gene expression was largely unknown. Six different S. aureus strains (two laboratory strains and four clinical isolates) encoding one to seven SAg-genes each, were used for analysis of a total of twelve SAgs regarding their transcription and mitogenic activity. The transcriptional units were characterized using Northern-Blotting. The expression of SAgs could be correlated to the respective growth phase. While egc-SAgs were expressed mainly at low optical densities, seb was induced during late growth phase. In contrast, the transcription of sea, seh, sek, tst and sep remained constant and growth-phase independent. The transcriptional dataset was verified using T-cell proliferation assays. The expression of seh, tst and the egc-operon was dependent on σB. A potential σB-dependent promotor could be identified preceeding seo, the first gene of the egc-operon. In contrast, the expression of seb was increased in sigB-deficient background. This might be due to indirect effects. Expression of seb required SaePQRS. Transcriptional datasets were verified by Immuno-Blotting and T-cell-proliferation assays. In conclusion, the same mutation in sigB but in different strain backgrounds could result in opposite phenotypes with respect to their mitogenic activity. Besides well characterized virulence factors, some secreted proteins with so far unknown function belong to the Sae-regulon. Given that the influence of SaePQRS was restricted to virulence factors and induced especially modulators of the innate immune system, it can be assumed, that these proteins potentially play a role in virulence of S. aureus. In the third part of this thesis, one of these potential new virulence factors, namely SACOL0908, was analysed in detail. In cooperation with the group of Prof. Stehle, Tübingen, the crystal structure was solved. The protein folding of SACOL0908 is new with only minor similarities to described protein structures. Recombinantly expressed SACOL0908 binds to granulocytes. These cells belong to the innate immune system, incorporate bacteria by phagocytosis and kill them. The receptor for SACOL0908 on the surface of granulocytes could not be identified using immunoprecipitation, antibody-blocking assays and functional assays in cooperation with the group of Prof. Peschel, Tübingen. The gene encoding SACOL0908 was deleted in two S. aureus strain backgrounds (COL and Newman). These mutants are currently in use to characterize their phenotype in mouse-infection studies.
Thiol or sulfhydryl groups are highly reactive functional groups in cellular systems. Molecules carrying thiol groups are mostly derivatives of the amino acid cysteine and are grouped as low molecular weight (LMW)-thiols: coenzyme A (CoA), glutathione (GSH) or bacillithiol (BSH). LMW-thiols can help in the maintenance of the reduced cellular environment as so called redox-buffers. Additionally, they act as co-factors in enzyme reactions or help in the detoxification of reactive oxygen or nitrogen species, electrophilic compounds or thiophilic metalloids (arsenite, tellurite). In proteins from different organisms cysteine is underrepresented compared to other amino acids, but still overtakes diverse roles. It is an important determinant in the tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins. The nucleophilic character of the thiol or thiolate group, respectively, makes cysteine the catalytically active amino acids of different enzymes. As a precursor cysteine participates in the formation of Fe-S clusters and coordinates different co-factors like heme, iron or zinc. The main goal of this study was the investigation of the different cellular thiol pools, now defined as the thiolome. The thiolome is the entity of the cellular thiol pools, i.e. LMW-thiols and protein thiols, and the dynamics between these pools. In Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus mixed disulfides between protein thiols and free LMW-thiols, so called S-thiolations, were identified in different proteins in response to the thiol specific reagent diamide. Some of these S-thiolations were located at catalytically active cysteine residues. Subsequent analysis of metabolites supports this: the S-thiolation of the cobalamine-independent methionine-synthase MetE led to a decrease of the cellular methionine content. Additionally, the conversion of threonine to different branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) was disrupted by the S-thiolation of the branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase YwaA, thereby probably inducing the synthesis of ppGpp, the alarmon of the stringent response. In addition to the identification of S-thiolations a technique was established which allowed the discrimination between intra- and intermolecular disulfides. The non-reducing/ reducing diagonal gel electrophoresis was applied to B. subtilis and S. aureus and confirmed known existing disulfide bonds, e.g. in alkyl hydroperoxide reductase AhpC or the thiol peroxidase Tpx. In response to diamide an increase of specific disulfide bonds in different proteins was observed. The analysis of the LMW-thiol content by an HPLC-approach allowed the observation of the dynamics of the thiolome. In response to diamide the reduced LMW-thiol content decreased by 75%, reduced protein thiols by 60%. Collaborations with other working groups allowed the identification of BSH in this approach. Additionally, an unknown thiol was found that is likely a derivative of BSH. Screening of the LMW-thiol content of different S. aureus-strains under various growth conditions revealed that strains 8325-4 and SH1000 lack BSH. The lack of BSH was attributed to an 8 bp-duplication in the bshC-gene that encodes the last enzyme of the BSH-synthesis. BSH-production was restored by transducing plasmid-borne functional BshC from strain Newman into strains 8325-4 and SH1000. The reconstitution of the BSH-synthesis aided in the resistance to the antibiotic fosfomycin but did not increase the resistance to different oxidants (diamide, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide). The production of BSH had also positive effects on the survival of S. aureus inside human bronchial epithelial cells and murine macrophages in phagocytosis assays. Additionally, a GSH-uptake was observed into S. aureus which has before been known as a GSH-free bacterium. Taken together, this thesis provides the first insights into both, the LMW-thiol- and protein thiol pool of low GC, Gram-positive bacteria under different conditions. A plethora of different methodologies was used to describe the thiolome. The bacterial thiolome is a sophisticated system which is tightly regulated, but also flexible enough to not rely on determined molecules like BSH. The influences of the thiolome are not restricted to its own system and regulation, but also affect different branches of cellular physiology like the metabolism of BCAAs.
The general stress response comprises approximately 200 genes and is driven by the alternative sigma factor SigB. Besides the process of sporulation with approximately 500 involved gene products under initial control of Spo0A are the two most significant and extensive cellular responses that can be observed in B. subtilis. The general stress response provides vegetative growing as well as non-growing and non-sporulating cells with a comprehensive cross-protective and preventive multiple stress resistance to various hostile environmental conditions. In contrast, the endospore is the most resistant but also dormant cell type produced by B. subtilis. The scope of this study was the identification of regulatory cascades driven by the general stress response sigma factor SigB to further elucidate the structure and function of the general stress regulon itself and to uncover potential intersections between the SigB response and other major developmental programs in the regulatory network of B. subtilis. It could be shown that the general stress regulon member yqgZ encodes a functional paralogue of Spx, the global regulator of the diamide stress regulon in B. subtilis. Global transcriptome and proteome studies led to the characterization of an YqgZ sub-regulon consisting of 53 positively and 18 negatively regulated genes. Due to its stringent SigB-dependent expression as well as its concerted action with SigB in regulation of its target genes YqgZ was renamed to MgsR which stands for “modulator of the general stress response”. Activity control of MgsR is stringently controlled at multiple levels. In addition to induction by SigB these mechanisms include (i) a positive autoregulatory loop of MgsR on the transcription level of its own structural gene, (ii) a post-translational redox-sensitive activation step by the formation of an intramolecular disulfide-bond within a conserved -CXXC-motif and (iii) rapid proteolytic degradation of MgsR by the ClpCP and ClpXP proteases, resul ting in extremely short in vivo half-lifes below 6 minutes. It was demonstrated that the activation of SigB is a prerequisite but not sufficient for a full expression of all general stress genes and that the SigB-dependent expression of MgsR provides the opportunity for additional redox-sensitive signal-reception, -processing and -integration beyond the primary decision of SigB activation. Our results describe a regulatory cascade integrating secondary oxidative stress signals into a SigB mediated regulatory cascade that is aimed at a precise fine tuning of target gene expression whose products are necessary for proper management of oxidative stress. Although primary oxidative stress stimuli do not typically induce SigB, our observation of redox-sensitive control by MgsR and several other reports that pointed at the implication of the general stress proteins in oxidative stress management led to the proposal that secondary oxidative stress may be a common component of multip le severe physical stress stimuli. This assumption could be supported by the results of a comprehensive phenotype screening of 94 mutants in single general stress genes upon treatment with hydrogen peroxide and the superoxide generating agent paraquat. A substantial amount of 62 mutants (66%) displayed significantly decreased survival rates in response to oxidative stress. The information gained by this phenotypic screening analysis provides a valuable basis for more directed assays to elucidate the biochemical functions of many so far uncharacterized general stress proteins and demonstrates that the SigB response and the regulatory fine tuning by MgsR plays a pivotal role in protection from secondary oxidative stress. Furthermore, it has been intensively discussed throughout the literature of the last years that the general stress response and the process of sporulation may represent mutually exclusive survival strategies of a non-growing B. subtilis cell, but the molecular basis for this assumption was missing until recently. By the identification of a functional SigB-type promoter (PsigB) adjacent to the spo0E, this gene was newly assigned to the general stress regulon. The spo0E gene encodes a phosphatase that specifically inactivates the master regulator of sporulation Spo0A~P by dephosphorylation. The SigB dependent induction of spo0E causes a block of sporulation specific transcription and produces a sporulation deficient phenotype. This effect was overcome by a deletion of the spo0E-SigB promoter, thus clearly addresses SigB activity. This regulatory mechanism is the first example for an integration of SigB inducing stimuli into the decision making process of sporulation initiation that provides a link to interconnect these two dominant and very likely mutually exclusive responses in the regulatory network of B. subtilis. The data presented here provide deeper insights into the structure and function of the general stress regulon in stress management.
Die Ziele der vorliegenden Arbeit ergaben sich aus zwei Arbeitsschwerpunkten - dem Nachweis einer neuartigen prokaryotischen Phenoloxidase bei dem Bakterienisolat Azotobacter chroococcum SBUG 1484 und der Durchführung Phenoloxidase-katalysierter Biotransformationsreaktionen zur Derivatisierung von ortho- bzw. para-dihydroxylierten Verbindungen. Der zunächst unbekannte, eine neue Phenoloxidase bildende, Bakterienstamm sollte mittels morphologischer und physiologischer Tests sowie 16S-rDNA-Analysen einer Art zugeordnet werden. Da die Expression der Phenoloxidase nur unter bestimmten Bedingungen auftrat sollten die in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen Kultivierungsparametern zahlreich auftretenden Zelldifferenzierungsprozesse des Stammes untersucht und eine standardisierte Kultivierungsmethode zur Erzielung hoher Phenoloxidase-Aktivitäten entwickelt werden. Die Untersuchung wesentlicher Eigenschaften der neubeschriebenen Phenoloxidase war für eine Zuordnung in die Gruppe der Multikupfer-Oxidasen und eine Prüfung der Eignung des Enzyms für biotechnologische Anwendungen eine unbedingte Voraussetzung. In Phenoloxidase-katalysierten Reaktionen sollte die Aminierung von einfach alkylsubstituierten Brenzkatechinen und Hydrochinonen sowie mehrfach-substituierten ein- bzw. zweikernigen dihydroxylierten Aromaten mit aliphatischen sowie alicyclischen Amindonoren untersucht werden. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtungen standen dabei die Aufklärung von Reaktionsmechanismen bei homo- und heteromolekularen Kopplungsreaktionen sowie die Prüfung des Einflusses verschiedener Reaktionsparameter (u.a. Hydroxylierungspositionen der Enzymsubstrate, Substituenten, Eduktkonzentrationen, Katalysatoren, pH-Werte der Reaktionssysteme, Lösungsmittel) auf die Nebenreaktionen und Ausbeuten der anvisierten Zielverbindungen (sekundäre Amine). Eine strukturchemische Analyse der Syntheseprodukte war dazu unerlässlich.
