Environmental and cellular factors affecting the localization of T6SS proteins in Burkholderia thailandensis

Abstract

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) injects effector proteins into neighboring bacteria and host cells. Effector translocation is driven by contraction of a tubular sheath in the cytoplasm that expels an inner needle across the cell envelope. The AAA + ATPase ClpV disassembles and recycles the contracted sheath. While ClpV-1-GFP of the Burkholderia T6SS-1, which targets prokaryotic cells, assembles into randomly localized foci, ClpV-5-GFP of the virulence-associated T6SS-5 displays a polar distribution. The mechanisms underlying the localization of T6SSs to a particular site in the bacterial cell are currently unknown. We recently showed that ClpV-5-GFP retains its polar localization in the absence of all T6SS-5 components during infection of host cells. Herein, we set out to identify factors involved in the distribution of ClpV-5 and ClpV-1 in Burkholderia thailandensis. We show that focal assembly and polar localization of ClpV-5-GFP is not dependent on the intracellular host cell environment, known to contain the signal to induce T6SS-5 gene expression. In contrast to ClpV-5-GFP, localization of ClpV-1-GFP was dependent on the cognate T6SS. Foci formation of both ClpV5-GFP and ClpV-1-GFP was decreased by D cycloserine-mediat...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
