- W2910786482 abstract "Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently resides among ethanol-producing microbes, making its response to these microbially-produced concentrations of ethanol relevant to understanding its biology. Our ranscriptome analysis found that the genes involved in trehalose metabolism were induced by low concentrations of ethanol, and levels of intracellular trehalose increased significantly upon growth with ethanol. The increase in trehalose was dependent on the TreYZ pathway, but not other trehalose metabolic enzymes TreS or TreA. The sigma factor AlgU (AlgT), a homolog of RpoE in other species, was required for increased expression of the treZ gene and trehalose levels, but induction was not controlled by the well-characterized proteolysis of its antisigma factor MucA. Growth with ethanol led to increased SpoT-dependent (p)ppGpp accumulation, which stimulates AlgU-dependent transcription of treZ and other AlgU-regulated genes through DksA, a (p)ppGpp and RNA polymerase binding protein. Ethanol stimulation of trehalose also required acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing, as induction was not observed in a Δ lasR Δ rhlR strain. A network analysis using a model, eADAGE, built from publicly available P. aeruginosa transcriptome datasets (1) provided strong support for our model that treZ and co-regulated genes are controlled by both AlgU and AHL-mediated QS (QS). Consistent with (p)ppGpp and AHL-mediated quorum sensing regulation, ethanol, even when added at the time of culture inoculation, stimulated treZ transcript levels and trehalose production in cells from post-exponential phase cultures but not from exponential phase cultures. These data highlight the integration of growth and cell density cues in the P. aeruginosa transcriptional response to ethanol. Importance Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often found with bacteria and fungi that produce fermentation products including ethanol. At concentrations similar to those produced by environmental microbes, we found that ethanol stimulated expression of trehalose biosynthetic genes and cellular levels of trehalose, a disaccharide that protects against environmental stresses. The induction of trehalose by ethanol required the alternative sigma factor AlgU through DksA and SpoT-dependent (p)ppGpp. Trehalose accumulation also required AHL quorum sensing and only occurred in post-exponential phase cultures. This work highlights how cells integrate cell-density and growth cues in their responses to products made by other microbes and a reveals a new role for (p)ppGpp in the regulation of AlgU activity." @default.
