Outer-membrane protein LptD (PA0595) plays a role in the regulation of alginate synthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Free

Abstract

Purpose. The presence of alginate-overproducing (Alg) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis patients is indicative of chronic infection. The Alg phenotype is generally due to a mutation in the mucA gene, encoding an innermembrane protein that sequesters AlgT/U, the alginate-specific sigma factor. AlgT/U release from the anti-sigma factor MucA is orchestrated via a complex cascade called regulated intramembrane proteolysis. The goal of this study is to identify new players involved in the regulation of alginate production.

Methodology. Previously, a mutant with a second-site suppressor of alginate production (sap), sap27, was isolated from the constitutively Alg PDO300 that harbours the mucA22 allele. A cosmid from a P. aeruginosa minimum tiling path library was identified via en masse complementation of sap27. The cosmid was transposon mutagenized to map the contributing gene involved in the alginate production. The identified gene was sequenced in sap27 along with algT/U, mucA, algO and mucP. The role of the novel gene was explored using precise in-frame algO and algW deletion mutants of PAO1 and PDO300.

Results/Key findings. The gene responsible for restoring the mucoid phenotype was mapped to lptD encoding an outer-membrane protein. However, the sequencing of sap27 revealed a mutation in algO, but not in lptD. In addition, we demonstrate that lipopolysaccharide transport protein D (LptD)-dependent alginate production requires AlgW in PAO1 and AlgO in PDO300.

Conclusion. LptD plays a specific role in alginate production. Our findings suggest that there are two pathways for the production of alginate in P. aeruginosa, one involving AlgW in the wild-type, and one involving AlgO in the mucA22 mutant.
