- W2803394252 abstract "ABSTRACT Natural competence allows bacteria to respond to environmental and nutritional cues by taking up free DNA from their surroundings, thus gaining nutrients and genetic information. In the Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenae , the DNA uptake machinery is induced by the CRP and Sxy transcription factors in response to lack of preferred carbon sources and nucleotide precursors. Here we show that HI0659 —which is absolutely required for DNA uptake— encodes the antitoxin of a competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin operon (‘ toxTA’ ), likely acquired by horizontal gene transfer from a Streptococcus species. Deletion of the toxin restores uptake to the antitoxin mutant. In addition to the expected Sxy-and CRP-dependent-competence promoter, transcript analysis using RNA-seq identified an internal antitoxin-repressed promoter whose transcription starts within toxT and will yield nonfunctional protein. We present evidence that the most likely effect of unopposed toxin expression is non-specific cleavage of mRNAs and arrest or death of competent cells in the culture, and we show that the toxin gene has been inactivated by deletion in many H. influenzae strains. We suggest that this competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin system may facilitate downregulation of protein synthesis and recycling of nucleotides under starvation conditions, or alternatively be a simple genetic parasite." @default.
