Platform for Single-Cell Dual RNA Sequencing of Host-Pathogen Interactions

The aim of this project was to advance single-cell RNA-Seq methods toward the establishment of a platform that may be used to simultaneously interrogate the gene expression profiles of mammalian host cells and bacterial pathogens. Existing genetic sequencing methods that measure bulk groups of cells do not account for the heterogeneity of cell-microbe interactions that occur within a complex environment, have limited efficiency, and cannot simultaneously interrogate bacterial sequences. In order to overcome these challenges, separate biochemistry workflows were developed based on a No-So-Random hexamer priming strategy or libraries of targeted molecular probes. Computational tools were developed to facilitate these methods, and feasibility was demonstrated for single-cell RNA-Seq for both bacterial and mammalian transcriptomes. This work supports cross-agency national priorities on addressing the threat of biological pathogens and understanding the role of the microbiome in modulating immunity and susceptibility to infection.

HtPIP: High-throughput phage isolation platform increases diversity and reduces isolation time using multiple bacteria

Bacteriophages are ubiquitous in nature, but relatively few have been isolated and characterized compared to the number of bacterial strains. Phage biotechnology applications benefit from a diverse library of isolated phages to kill or transfer genetic material to a bacterium of interest. However, scaling up phage discovery for diverse bacterial hosts can be time-consuming and costly. Here, we developed an approach to capture novel phages for multiple bacterial strains in parallel from an environmental sample using commercially available 0.2-μM filter plates. Using this High-throughput Phage Isolation Platform (HtPIP), 12 novel phages were isolated spanning 9 diverse bacterial host genera. Eleven of the isolated phages define new phage species, with nine also defining new genera. The HtPIP was used to discover both DNA and RNA phages, including a Tectiviridae infecting Pseudomonas putida mt-2 and a Leviviricetes infecting a Microbacterium isolate, which represents the first cultured RNA phage infecting a host outside of Proteobacteria. Using a metagenomic approach, we demonstrate that the HtPIP captures a higher proportion of novel phages compared to traditional low-throughput methods.

Expansion of the global RNA virome reveals diverse clades of bacteriophages

High-throughput RNA sequencing offers broad opportunities to explore the Earth RNA virome. Mining 5,150 diverse metatranscriptomes uncovered >2.5 million RNA virus contigs. Analysis of >330,000 RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRPs) shows that this expansion corresponds to a 5-fold increase of the known RNA virus diversity. Gene content analysis revealed multiple protein domains previously not found in RNA viruses and implicated in virus-host interactions. Extended RdRP phylogeny supports the monophyly of the five established phyla and reveals two putative additional bacteriophage phyla and numerous putative additional classes and orders. The dramatically expanded phylum Lenarviricota, consisting of bacterial and related eukaryotic viruses, now accounts for a third of the RNA virome. Identification of CRISPR spacer matches and bacteriolytic proteins suggests that subsets of picobirnaviruses and partitiviruses, previously associated with eukaryotes, infect prokaryotic hosts.

Fitness cost of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium plasmids associated with hospital infection outbreaks

Abstract Background Vancomycin resistance is mostly associated with Enterococcus faecium due to Tn1546-vanA located on narrow- and broad-host plasmids of various families. This study’s aim was to analyse the effects of acquiring Tn1546-carrying plasmids with proven epidemicity in different bacterial host backgrounds. Methods Widespread Tn1546-carrying plasmids of different families RepA_N (n = 5), Inc18 (n = 4) and/or pHTβ (n = 1), and prototype plasmids RepA_N (pRUM) and Inc18 (pRE25, pIP501) were analysed. Plasmid transferability and fitness cost were assessed using E. faecium (GE1, 64/3) and Enterococcus faecalis (JH2-2/FA202/UV202) recipient strains. Growth curves (Bioscreen C) and Relative Growth Rates were obtained in the presence/absence of vancomycin. Plasmid stability was analysed (300 generations). WGS (Illumina-MiSeq) of non-evolved and evolved strains (GE1/64/3 transconjugants, n = 49) was performed. SNP calling (Breseq software) of non-evolved strains was used for comparison. Results All plasmids were successfully transferred to different E. faecium clonal backgrounds. Most Tn1546-carrying plasmids and Inc18 and RepA_N prototypes reduced host fitness (–2% to 18%) while the cost of Tn1546 expression varied according to the Tn1546-variant and the recipient strain (9%–49%). Stability of Tn1546-carrying plasmids was documented in all cases, often with loss of phenotypic resistance and/or partial plasmid deletions. SNPs and/or indels associated with essential bacterial functions were observed on the chromosome of evolved strains, some of them linked to increased fitness. Conclusions The stability of E. faecium Tn1546-carrying plasmids in the absence of selective pressure and the high intra-species conjugation rates might explain the persistence of vancomycin resistance in E. faecium populations despite the significant burden they might impose on bacterial host strains.

Coral mucus rapidly induces chemokinesis and genome-wide transcriptional shifts toward early pathogenesis in a bacterial coral pathogen

Elevated seawater temperatures have contributed to the rise of coral disease mediated by bacterial pathogens, such as the globally distributed Vibrio coralliilyticus, which utilizes coral mucus as a chemical cue to locate stressed corals. However, the physiological events in the pathogens that follow their entry into the coral host environment remain unknown. Here, we present simultaneous measurements of the behavioral and transcriptional responses of V. coralliilyticus BAA-450 incubated in coral mucus. Video microscopy revealed a strong and rapid chemokinetic behavioral response by the pathogen, characterized by a two-fold increase in average swimming speed within 6 min of coral mucus exposure. RNA sequencing showed that this bacterial behavior was accompanied by an equally rapid differential expression of 53% of the genes in the V. coralliilyticus genome. Specifically, transcript abundance 10 min after mucus exposure showed upregulation of genes involved in quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and nutrient metabolism, and downregulation of flagella synthesis and chemotaxis genes. After 60 min, we observed upregulation of genes associated with virulence, including zinc metalloproteases responsible for causing coral tissue damage and algal symbiont photoinactivation, and secretion systems that may export toxins. Together, our results suggest that V. coralliilyticus employs a suite of behavioral and transcriptional responses to rapidly shift into a distinct infection mode within minutes of exposure to the coral microenvironment.

Protecting honey bees through microbiome engineering

Honey bees are indispensable insects. Their pollination services support modern agriculture and natural ecosystems. Managed honey bee colonies face increasing threats to their survival, ranging from environmental stressors that include agrochemicals to infestations of arthropod pests and infections with microbial pathogens. Like humans, honey bees have a native gut microbiome that supports their health. However, the bee gut microbiome has a simpler composition than the gut microbiome of mammals, and its main constituent bacterial species can be easily cultured outside of the host. Furthermore, this experimental tractability and the need for new methods for protecting hive health have made honey bees a testbed for synthetic microbiomes augmented with probiotic bacteria and engineered DNA. Here, we discuss the natural benefits of bee gut bacteria, recent progress in genetically modifying these bacteria, and how symbiont-mediated RNA interference and other microbiome engineering approaches can boost bee immunity and suppress bee pathogens and parasites. Finally, we discuss how emerging methods for microbiome engineering and biocontainment could be applied to honey bees and used to address challenges in translating these proof-of-principle achievements into safe and effective technologies for field applications at scale.

Mechanical morphotype switching as an adaptive response in mycobacteria

Invading microbes face a myriad of cidal mechanisms of phagocytes that inflict physical damage to microbial structures. How intracellular bacterial pathogens adapt to these stresses is not fully understood. Here, we report the discovery of a virulence mechanism by which changes to the mechanical stiffness of the mycobacterial cell surface confer refraction to killing during infection. Long-term time-lapse atomic force microscopy was used to reveal a process of “mechanical morphotype switching” in mycobacteria exposed to host intracellular stress. A “soft” mechanical morphotype switch enhances tolerance to intracellular macrophage stress, including cathelicidin. Both pharmacologic treatment, with bedaquiline, and a genetic mutant lacking uvrA modified the basal mechanical state of mycobacteria into a soft mechanical morphotype, enhancing survival in macrophages. Our study proposes microbial cell mechanical adaptation as a critical axis for surviving host-mediated stressors.

Isolation, Characterization, and Pathogenicity of Two Pseudomonas syringae Pathovars from Populus trichocarpa Seeds

Pseudomonas syringae is a ubiquitous plant pathogen, infecting both woody and herbaceous plants and resulting in devastating agricultural crop losses. Characterized by a remarkable specificity for plant hosts, P. syringae pathovars utilize a number of virulence factors including the type III secretion system and effector proteins to elicit disease in a particular host species. Here, two Pseudomonas syringae strains were isolated from diseased Populustrichocarpa seeds. The pathovars were capable of inhibiting poplar seed germination and were selective for the Populus genus. Sequencing of the newly described organisms revealed similarity to phylogroup II pathogens and genomic regions associated with woody host-associated plant pathogens, as well as genes for specific virulence factors. The host response to infection, as revealed through metabolomics, is the induction of the stress response through the accumulation of higher-order salicylates. Combined with necrosis on leaf surfaces, the plant appears to quickly respond by isolating infected tissues and mounting an anti-inflammatory defense. This study improves our understanding of the initial host response to epiphytic pathogens in Populus and provides a new model system for studying the effects of a bacterial pathogen on a woody host plant in which both organisms are fully genetically sequenced.

Enhanced transport of bacteria along root systems by protists can impact plant health

ABSTRACT Soil protists have been shown to contribute to the structure and function of the rhizosphere in a variety of ways. Protists are key contributors to nutrient cycling through the microbial loop, where biomass is digested by protists and otherwise stored nutrients are returned to the environment. Protists have also been shown to feed on plant pathogenic bacteria and alter root microbiomes in ways that may benefit plants. Recently, a mechanism involving bacterial transport, facilitated by protists, has been hypothesized to contribute to the spatial distribution of bacteria in the rhizosphere. Here, we observe the differential abilities of three soil protists: a ciliate (Colpodasp.), a flagellate (Cercomonassp.), and a naked amoeba (Acanthamoeba castellanii) to transport nitrogen-fixingSinorhizobium melilotito infectible root tips. Co-inoculation of protists plusS. melilotiresulted in the movement of bacteria, as measured by the presence of nitrogen-fixing nodules, up to 15 cm farther down the root systems when compared to plants inoculated withS. melilotialone. Co-inoculation of the ciliate, Colpodasp., withS. meliloti, resulted in shoot weights that were similar to plants that grew in nitrogen-replete potting mix.Colpodasp.-feeding style and motility likely contributed to their success at transporting bacteria through the rhizosphere. We observed that the addition of protists alone without the co-inoculum ofS. melilotiresulted in plants with larger shoot weights than control plants. Follow-up experiments showed that protists plus their associated microbiomes were aiding in plant health, likely through means of nutrient cycling. IMPORTANCE Protists represent a significant portion of the rhizosphere microbiome and have been shown to contribute to plant health, yet they are understudied compared to their bacterial and fungal counterparts. This study elucidates their role in the rhizosphere community and suggests a mechanism by which protists can be used to move bacteria along plant roots. We found that the co-inoculation of protists with nitrogen-fixing beneficial bacteria,Sinorhizobium meliloti, resulted in nodules farther down the roots when compared to plants inoculated with S.melilotialone, and shoot weights similar to plants that received nitrogen fertilizer. These data illustrate the ability of protists to transport viable bacteria to uninhabited regions of the root system.

Searching for fat tails in CRISPR-Cas systems: Data analysis and mathematical modeling

Understanding CRISPR-Cas systems—the adaptive defence mechanism that about half of bacterial species and most of archaea use to neutralise viral attacks—is important for explaining the biodiversity observed in the microbial world as well as for editing animal and plant genomes effectively. The CRISPR-Cas system learns from previous viral infections and integrates small pieces from phage genomes called spacers into the microbial genome. The resulting library of spacers collected in CRISPR arrays is then compared with the DNA of potential invaders. One of the most intriguing and least well understood questions about CRISPR-Cas systems is the distribution of spacers across the microbial population. Here, using empirical data, we show that the global distribution of spacer numbers in CRISPR arrays across multiple biomes worldwide typically exhibits scale-invariant power law behaviour, and the standard deviation is greater than the sample mean. We develop a mathematical model of spacer loss and acquisition dynamics which fits observed data from almost four thousand metagenomes well. In analogy to the classical ‘rich-get-richer’ mechanism of power law emergence, the rate of spacer acquisition is proportional to the CRISPR array size, which allows a small proportion of CRISPRs within the population to possess a significant number of spacers. Our study provides an alternative explanation for the rarity of all-resistant super microbes in nature and why proliferation of phages can be highly successful despite the effectiveness of CRISPR-Cas systems.

Asparagine Biosynthesis as a Mechanism of Increased Host Lethality Induced by Serratia Marcescens in Simulated Microgravity Environments

While studies have shown an increase in pathogenicity in several microbes during spaceflight and after exposure to simulated microgravity, the mechanisms underlying these changes in phenotype are not understood across different pathogens, particularly in opportunistic pathogens. This study evaluates the mechanism for increased virulence of the opportunistic gram-negative bacterium, Serratia marcescens, in simulated microgravity. Low-shear modeled microgravity (LSMMG) is used in ground-based studies to simulate the effects of microgravity as experienced in spaceflight. Our previous findings showed that there was a significant increase in mortality rates of the Drosophila melanogaster host when infected with either spaceflight or LSMMG treated S. marcescens. Here, we report that LSMMG increases asparagine uptake and synthesis in S. marcescens and that the increased host lethality induced by LSMMG bacteria grown in rich media can be recapitulated in minimal media by adding only aspartate and glutamine, the substrates of asparagine biosynthesis. Interestingly, increased bacterial growth rate alone is not sufficient to contribute to maximal host lethality, since the addition of aspartate to minimal media caused an LSMMG-specific increase in bacterial growth rate that is comparable to that induced by the combination of aspartate and glutamine, but this increase in growth does not cause an equivalent rate of host mortality. However, the addition of both aspartate and glutamine cause both an increase in host mortality and an overexpression of asparagine pathway genes in a LSMMG-dependent manner. We also report that L-asparaginase-mediated breakdown of asparagine is an effective countermeasure for the increased host mortality caused by LSMMG-treated bacteria. This investigation underscores the importance of the asparagine utilization pathway by helping uncover molecular mechanisms that underlie increased mortality rates of a model host infected with microgravity-treated S.marcescens and provides a potential mitigation strategy.

Resolving the structure of phage–bacteria interactions in the context of natural diversity

Microbial communities are shaped by viral predators. Yet, resolving which viruses (phages) and bacteria are interacting is a major challenge in the context of natural levels of microbial diversity. Thus, fundamental features of how phage-bacteria interactions are structured and evolve in the wild remain poorly resolved. Here we use large-scale isolation of environmental marine Vibrio bacteria and their phages to obtain estimates of strain-level phage predator loads, and use all-by-all host range assays to discover how phage and host genomic diversity shape interactions. We show that lytic interactions in environmental interaction networks (as observed in agar overlay) are sparse—with phage predator loads being low for most bacterial strains, and phages being host-strain-specific. Paradoxically, we also find that although overlap in killing is generally rare between tailed phages, recombination is common. Together, these results suggest that recombination during cryptic co-infections is an important mode of phage evolution in microbial communities. In the development of phages for bioengineering and therapeutics it is important to consider that nucleic acids of introduced phages may spread into local phage populations through recombination, and that the likelihood of transfer is not predictable based on lytic host range.

SARS-CoV-2 Monitoring in Wastewater Reveals Novel Variants and Biomarkers of Infection

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a popular tool for the early indication of community spread of infectious diseases. WBE emerged as an effective tool during the COVID-19 pandemic and has provided meaningful information to minimize the spread of infection. Here, we present a combination of analyses using the correlation of viral gene copies with clinical cases, sequencing of wastewater-derived RNA for the viral mutants, and correlative analyses of the viral gene copies with the bacterial biomarkers. Our study provides a unique platform for potentially using the WBE-derived results to predict the spread of COVID-19 and the emergence of new variants of concern. Further, we observed a strong correlation between the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and changes in the microbial community of wastewater, particularly the significant changes in bacterial genera belonging to the families of Lachnospiraceae and Actinomycetaceae . Our study shows that microbial biomarkers could be utilized as prediction tools for future infectious disease surveillance and outbreak responses. Overall, our comprehensive analyses of viral spread, variants, and novel bacterial biomarkers will add significantly to the growing body of literature on WBE and COVID-19.

Mechanism and inhibition of Streptococcus pneumoniae IgA1 protease

Opportunistic pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae secrete a giant metalloprotease virulence factor responsible for cleaving host IgA1, yet the molecular mechanism has remained unknown since their discovery nearly 30 years ago despite the potential for developing vaccines that target these enzymes to block infection. Here we show through a series of cryo-electron microscopy single particle reconstructions how the Streptococcus pneumoniae IgA1 protease facilitates IgA1 substrate recognition and how this can be inhibited. Specifically, the Streptococcus pneumoniae IgA1 protease subscribes to an active-site-gated mechanism where a domain undergoes a 10.0 Å movement to facilitate cleavage. Monoclonal antibody binding inhibits this conformational change, providing a direct means to block infection at the host interface. These structural studies explain decades of biological and biochemical studies and provides a general strategy to block Streptococcus pneumoniae IgA1 protease activity to potentially prevent infection.

Structure based virtual screening identifies small molecule effectors for the sialoglycan binding protein Hsa

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a cardiovascular disease often caused by bacteria of the viridans group of streptococci, which includes Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis. Previous research has found that serine-rich repeat (SRR) proteins on the S. gordonii bacterial surface play a critical role in pathogenesis by facilitating bacterial attachment to sialylated glycans displayed on human platelets. Despite their important role in disease progression, there are currently no anti-adhesive drugs available on the market. Here, we performed structure-based virtual screening using an ensemble docking approach followed by consensus scoring to identify novel small molecule effectors against the sialoglycan binding domain of the SRR adhesin protein Hsa from the S. gordonii strain DL1. The screening successfully predicted nine compounds which were able to displace the native ligand (sialyl-T antigen) in an in vitro assay and bind competitively to Hsa. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering based on the MACCS fingerprints showed that eight of these small molecules do not share a common scaffold with the native ligand. This study indicates that SRR family of adhesin proteins can be inhibited by diverse small molecules and thus prevent the interaction of the protein with the sialoglycans. This opens new avenues for discovering potential drugs against IE.

An essential and highly selective protein import pathway encoded by nucleus-forming phage

Targeting proteins to specific subcellular destinations is essential in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and the viruses that infect them. Chimalliviridae phages encapsulate their genomes in a nucleus-like replication compartment composed of the protein chimallin (ChmA) that excludes ribosomes and decouples transcription from translation. These phages selectively partition proteins between the phage nucleus and the bacterial cytoplasm. Currently, the genes and signals that govern selective protein import into the phage nucleus are unknown. Here, we identify two components of this protein import pathway: a species-specific surface-exposed region of a phage intranuclear protein required for nuclear entry and a conserved protein, PicA (Protein importer of chimalliviruses A), that facilitates cargo protein trafficking across the phage nuclear shell. We also identify a defective cargo protein that is targeted to PicA on the nuclear periphery but fails to enter the nucleus, providing insight into the mechanism of nuclear protein trafficking. Using CRISPRi-ART protein expression knockdown of PicA, we show that PicA is essential early in the chimallivirus replication cycle. Together, our results allow us to propose a multistep model for the Protein Import Chimallivirus pathway, where proteins are targeted to PicA by amino acids on their surface and then licensed by PicA for nuclear entry. The divergence in the selectivity of this pathway between closely related chimalliviruses implicates its role as a key player in the evolutionary arms race between competing phages and their hosts.

COVID-19 biomarkers based on respiratory microbiome content

COVID-19 patient care management would greatly benefit from new tools that enable accurate assessment of disease severity and stage, potentially enabling a personalized medicine approach. Detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself, or even quantitation of viral loads, is not sufficient for accurate assessment of disease state beyond diagnosis of infection [eg, doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa344]. Levels of usual suspect protein biomarkers associated with host response to infection [eg, C-reactive protein (CRP); cytokines like IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-10; complement proteins like C3a and C5a], and of individual blood cell types (eg, leukocytes, lymphocytes, and subsets thereof), show limited correlation with disease severity and stage, with high patient-to-patient and study-to-study variability [eg, doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa248]. High-dimensional panels of biomarkers should have greater predictive power and resilience to unavoidable sources of variability; however, their assembly from proteins and cell types is extremely difficult, due to technical limitations in analyte measurement, especially with regard to starting material requirements and detection sensitivity. Host response profiling through Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of gene expression patterns (ie, RNA-Seq) is a promising approach, but at the time of this project there were only two publicly available datasets of relevance [doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa203, doi:10.1080/22221751.2020.1747363], and close inspection of them revealed that each had at least one major flaw that severely undermined its value in supporting robust analysis of host response to SARS-CoV- 2 infection. However, the first of these studies [doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa203] fortuitously collected NGS data not only from host cells, but also from bacteria present in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) recovered from COVID-19 patients; and because the respiratory microbiome (in terms of bacterial species content) is far less complex than the human transcriptome, the NGS data collected were sufficient to provide coverage depth supporting robust analysis. Surprisingly, the authors of the study did not carry out a detailed analysis of these data and their potential for revealing important new information about COVID-19. Therefore, we carried out a meta-analysis of the dataset as a first step in evaluating the potential for profiling of respiratory microbiome dynamics as a means of accurately assessing COVID-19 disease state.

Using CRISPR/Cas13a technologies to detect miRNA [DOE SULI Internship Report]

Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNA) give our immune systems the ability to recognize viruses and other pathogens by their complementary single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) produced in the reproduction of the pathogen in our cells. When miRNA of a specific sequence is detected in a cell sample, it can be assumed that the immune system is activated and attempting to track down the infection. This pathway can be utilized to diagnose infection from a pathogen before the individual even develops symptoms, aiding in early disease detection and proper treatment. One of the ways that we can detect miRNA is through an assay of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats or “CRISPR” and the bacterial protein Cas13a. This report details discoveries made while attempting to optimize this assay for miRNA detection. After looking at several different factors within the assay, it was determined that some factors, such as reporter type and metallic ion concentration, are more impactful on the overall assay sensitivity than other factors, such as the overall concentration of Cas13a, CRISPR RNA (crRNA), or ssRNA reporter. It was also discovered that different sequences with different lengths require renewed optimization efforts, as each target has a unique binding affinity determined by the sequence length and composition. This information is crucial in the development of point of care molecular detection devices as they become sensitive enough to identify pathogens before they spread.
