Only two Bsa-secreted effectors have beenconclusively identified to date. Here we explored the T3SS-dependentsecretion and the virulence mechanism of a B. pseudomallei putativeeffector prote<strong>in</strong> BopC (BPSS1516), which is encoded from the bpss1516gene adjacent to its putative chaperone bpss1517.Methods: B. pseudomallei bopC gene was cloned as Glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged constructs and expressed <strong>in</strong> Escherichia coli.Pull down and co-purification assays were conducted to address the<strong>in</strong>teraction between BopC and its putative chaperone BPSS1517.Translocation assay was performed to <strong>in</strong>vestigate the importance of the N-term<strong>in</strong>al am<strong>in</strong>o acids of BopC. B. pseudomallei bopC mutant wasconstructed by <strong>in</strong>sertion mutagenesis. A549 lung epithelial cells wereemployed for <strong>in</strong>vasion assay.Results: Immunoblott<strong>in</strong>g demonstrated that BopC was secreted <strong>in</strong>toculture supernatant by the wild-type B. pseudomallei stra<strong>in</strong>, but itssecretion was abolished <strong>in</strong> the bsaZ T3SS mutant, suggest<strong>in</strong>g that BopC issecreted via T3SS. Pull down and co-purification assays confirmed thatBopC <strong>in</strong>teracts with its putative chaperone, BPSS1517, <strong>in</strong> vitro. The first20 N-term<strong>in</strong>al am<strong>in</strong>o acids of BopC were found to be sufficient to mediatethe T3SS-dependent translocation of a reporter prote<strong>in</strong> from a heterologousenteropathogenic E. coli host <strong>in</strong>to mammalian cells. F<strong>in</strong>ally, B.pseudomallei bopC mutant was found to be less <strong>in</strong>vasive than the wildtypestra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the epithelial cells.Conclusions: B. pseudomallei BopC is a newly identified type III effectorprote<strong>in</strong>. The secretion of BopC is dependent on Bsa T3SS. FurthermoreBopC is implicated <strong>in</strong> the B. pseudomallei <strong>in</strong>vasion <strong>in</strong>to epithelial cells.Muangman S, Korbsrisate S, Muangsombut V, Sr<strong>in</strong>on V, Adler N L, Schroeder G N, et al., BopC isa type III secreted effector prote<strong>in</strong> of Burkholderia pseudomallei.

The <strong>in</strong>tracellular life cycle of L.pneumophila is divided <strong>in</strong>to two dist<strong>in</strong>ct stages: the replicative phase (RP),where the bacteria multiply until the nutrients cease, and the transmissivephase (TP), where the bacteria render virulent and <strong>in</strong>vasive. Uponprolonged periods of stress (such as nutrient deprivation, temperaturechange, etc.), L. pneumophila may enter <strong>in</strong>to the viable but not culturable(VBNC) state where the bacteria only show a very low level of metabolicactivity and do not grow on standard media. Remarkably, VBNC state L.pneumophila may resuscitate and thereby rega<strong>in</strong> culturability as well asvirulence after passage through a eucaryotic host. In consequence, VBNCstate L. pneumophila have to be considered as a public health hazard. Tocharacterize the dist<strong>in</strong>ct stages of life for L. pneumophila, <strong>in</strong> this study weperformed a systematic proteomic comparison of broth-grown RP and TPand stress-<strong>in</strong>duced VBNC states. To <strong>in</strong>duce VBNC cell formation <strong>in</strong> L.pneumophila bacteria, different stress conditions like cold and heat stress,nutrient limitation, and several chemical agents were tested. Dur<strong>in</strong>g heatstress (42°C), the number of CFU decreased to zero with<strong>in</strong> 68 dayswhereas the microcosms rema<strong>in</strong>ed stable with respect to culturability at4°C and 21°C for at least 140 days. Despite the drastic decrease <strong>in</strong> CFUcounts, 40% of the bacteria rema<strong>in</strong>ed viable accord<strong>in</strong>g to microscopiclive/dead analysis. For proteome analysis, it is essential to separate theVBNC-Legionella from dead bacteria. To this purpose, we usedfluorescence-activated cell sort<strong>in</strong>g (FACS). Our work will contribute to adeeper understand<strong>in</strong>g of the modification processes with<strong>in</strong> bacteria <strong>in</strong>response to different conditions, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g adaptation to long-term stress.MPP056Carolacton cause <strong>in</strong>hibition of Streptococcus mutans biofilmsthrough the ser<strong>in</strong>e/threon<strong>in</strong>e prote<strong>in</strong> k<strong>in</strong>ase PknBM. Reck* 1 , B. Kunze 1 , J. Tomasch 1 , S. Schulz 2 , I. Wagner-Döbler 11 Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, Microbial Communication,Braunschweig, Germany2 Technical University Braunschweig, Institute for Organic Chemistry,Braunschweig, GermanyBiofilm form<strong>in</strong>g bacteria are often significantly more resistant to drugtreatments than their planktonic counterparts and are associated to variouspathological conditions <strong>in</strong> humans as e.g. cystic fibrosis, colonisation of<strong>in</strong>dwell<strong>in</strong>g medical devices and dental plaque formation. Therefore newsubstances and therapies aim<strong>in</strong>g to erase biofilms are urgently needed. Onepossible strategy to cope with this demand is to disturb signal-transduction<strong>in</strong> biofilms.Carolacton, a secondary metabolite isolated from the myxobacteriumSorangium cellulosum was proven to disturb biofilm viability at nanomolarconcentrations. Treated biofilms showed a leakage of cytoplasmic content(prote<strong>in</strong>s and DNA) <strong>in</strong> grow<strong>in</strong>g cells at low pH. Us<strong>in</strong>g a ß-galactosidasereporter stra<strong>in</strong> and quantitative PCR the efflux-dynamics of <strong>in</strong>tracellularprote<strong>in</strong>s and DNA were quantified. The strong acidification occurr<strong>in</strong>gdur<strong>in</strong>g biofilm growth was shown to be responsible for the biofilm-specificactivity of carolacton.A chemical conversion of the of the ketocarbonic function of the moleculeto a methlyester did not impact its activity, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that carolacton is notfunctionally activated at low pH by a change of its net charge. Besidemultiple genes <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> cell wall metabolism the VicKRX and ComDEtwo-component signal transduction systems were found to play anessential role <strong>in</strong> the cellular response to carolacton treatment as identifiedby time-resolved microarray analysis. The <strong>in</strong>fluence of carolacton on denovo cell wall metabolism and cell division was further <strong>in</strong>vestigated byfluorescence microscopy us<strong>in</strong>g a fluorescent vancomyc<strong>in</strong> derivative.A sensitivity test<strong>in</strong>g of mutants with deletions of all 13 viable histid<strong>in</strong>ek<strong>in</strong>ases and the ser<strong>in</strong>e/threon<strong>in</strong>e prote<strong>in</strong> k<strong>in</strong>ase PknB identified only thepknB mutant to be <strong>in</strong>sensitive to carolacton treatment. Furthermore astrong overlap between the PknB-regulon <strong>in</strong> S. mutans and the genesaffected by carolacton treatment was found. In conclusion the data suggestthat carolacton <strong>in</strong>terferes with PknB-mediated signall<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> grow<strong>in</strong>g cells.The altered cell wall metabolism and architecture cause membrane damageand cell death at low pH.MPP057Systems biology analysis of metabolic adaptation of Staphylococcusaureus and analysis of the impact of prote<strong>in</strong> complexesM.

The emergence of methicill<strong>in</strong>-resistant Staphylococcusaureus (MRSA) stra<strong>in</strong>s caus<strong>in</strong>g serious <strong>in</strong>fections even <strong>in</strong> healthy<strong>in</strong>dividuals (CA-MRSA) represents a major threat and underscores theneed for a comprehensive understand<strong>in</strong>g of virulence mechanisms. S<strong>in</strong>ce itis known that the basic cell physiology determ<strong>in</strong>es not only growth butpathogenicity as well, we want to identify the concentrations and complexformation of prote<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> central carbon metabolism. Twophysiological adaptation scenarios, which are very likely encountered by S.aureus dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>fection sett<strong>in</strong>gs are addressed <strong>in</strong> vitro: i) changes <strong>in</strong> thesupply of carbon sources and ii) the aerobic/anaerobic shift. In addition,prote<strong>in</strong> concentrations of <strong>in</strong>ternalized S. aureus cells by non-professionalphagocytes will be determ<strong>in</strong>ed.For absolute quantification of prote<strong>in</strong>s we use the QconCAT technologywhich allows quantification of up to 15 prote<strong>in</strong>s with<strong>in</strong> a syntheticstandard prote<strong>in</strong>. The design as well as the construction (heterologousexpression, label<strong>in</strong>g with stable isotopes, purification and quality control)of 4 QconCAT prote<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> total (cover<strong>in</strong>g all enzymes of the glycolysis,TCA-cycle, gluconeogenesis, pentosephosphate pathway and prote<strong>in</strong>s<strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the aerobic/anaerobic shift) is completed. For experimentalscreen<strong>in</strong>g of prote<strong>in</strong> complexes we use <strong>in</strong> vivo cross-l<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g and tagg<strong>in</strong>gexperiments. Enzymes of the central carbon metabolism are used as a baitprote<strong>in</strong>,tagged with a Strep-tag and <strong>in</strong>serted <strong>in</strong>to the plasmid pMADBIOspektrum | Tagungsband <strong>2012</strong>

Consequently, we will determ<strong>in</strong>e to whatdegree prote<strong>in</strong> complexes are required for physiological fitness of S.aureus, which accounts to a better understand<strong>in</strong>g of its pathophysiology.MPP058The Patat<strong>in</strong>-like Prote<strong>in</strong> VipD/ PatA - a phospholipase A ofLegionella pneumophila play<strong>in</strong>g a role <strong>in</strong> bacterium-host <strong>in</strong>teractionK. Seipel*, P. Aurass, A. FliegerRobert Koch-Institut, FG 11 Division of Bacterial Infections, Wernigerode,GermanyThe phospholipase VipD/ PatA is one of eleven patat<strong>in</strong>-like prote<strong>in</strong>s (PLP)found <strong>in</strong> Legionella pneumophila. Patat<strong>in</strong>-like prote<strong>in</strong>s are lipid-acylhydrolases ma<strong>in</strong>ly characterized <strong>in</strong> plants so far, but they were previouslyshown to be widely coded with<strong>in</strong> bacterial genomes. In L. pneumophila,VipD/ PatA was determ<strong>in</strong>ed to be a substrate of the type IVB secretionsystem by Shohdy et al. (PNAS 2005). We focused on this prote<strong>in</strong> becauseit is the L. pneumophila PLP which is most similar to ExoU, a potentphospholipase and cytotox<strong>in</strong> of Pseudomonas aerug<strong>in</strong>osa that causes rapidhost cell death upon <strong>in</strong>jection by the type III secretion system of thispathogen. We previously found that similar to ExoU, VipD/ PatA localizesto the cytoplasmic membrane after expression <strong>in</strong> A549 lung epithelialcells. Here, the C-term<strong>in</strong>al region of the prote<strong>in</strong> plays an essential role,because deletion of the 129 C-term<strong>in</strong>al am<strong>in</strong>o acids abolishes propertarget<strong>in</strong>g. We now aimed to characterize the prote<strong>in</strong> determ<strong>in</strong>ants fortranslocation of VipD/ PatA to the cytoplasmic membrane. Therefore, wemutated or deleted potential phosphorylation sites, special conservedmotifs and a potential transmembrane doma<strong>in</strong> as well as a region of lowcomplexity to evaluate the <strong>in</strong>fluence of these parts for membranelocalization. The lipolytic activity of VipD/ PatA, for which Ser<strong>in</strong>-72embedded <strong>in</strong> a G-X-S-X-G lipase motif is essential, is not required formembrane target<strong>in</strong>g.MPP059sRNA-mediated control of the primary <strong>in</strong>vasion factor <strong>in</strong>vas<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong> Yers<strong>in</strong>ia pseudotuberculosisS. Seekircher*, K. Böhme, A.K. Heroven, W. Opitz, P. DerschHZI, MIBI, Braunschweig, GermanyYers<strong>in</strong>ia pseudotuberculosis is an enteric human pathogen that causes gutassociateddiseases. The primary virulence determ<strong>in</strong>ant is the outermembrane prote<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>vas<strong>in</strong>. This prote<strong>in</strong> mediates bacterial b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g to and<strong>in</strong>vasion through the epithelial cells of the gut.Invas<strong>in</strong> expression is controlled by rovA (regulator of virulence A) <strong>in</strong>response to the surround<strong>in</strong>g temperature and ion availability (1). One keyregulator of rovA <strong>in</strong> turn is the csr (carbon storage regulator) system. It iscomposed of the RNA-b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g prote<strong>in</strong> CsrA and two regulatory RNAs,csrB and CsrC. These RNAs sequester CsrA thus controll<strong>in</strong>g its function (2).Expression and stability of the two RNAs is controlled by differentregulators and sensory cascades. Recent f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs showed that CsrBexpression is activated upon bacterial contact to epithelial cells. Althougha two-component regulator system is known to <strong>in</strong>duce CsrB synthesis thecell contact signal is not <strong>in</strong>tegrated via this sensor system.The regulation of CsrC <strong>in</strong>volves various transcriptional and posttranscriptionalmodulators. For example the Yers<strong>in</strong>ia modulator A (YmoA)confers CsrC RNA stability. However, CsrC stability is not directlymediated by YmoA. Microarray analysis <strong>in</strong>dicated that YmoA affectsexpression of different RNases, which might control CsrC turnover.(1) Nagel G., Lahrz A., Dersch P. „Environmental control of <strong>in</strong>vas<strong>in</strong> expression <strong>in</strong> Yers<strong>in</strong>iapseudotuberculosisis mediated by regulation of RovA, a transcriptional activator of the SlyA/Horfamily.“ Mol Microbiol. 2001 Sep; 41(6):1249-69.(2) Heroven, AK, Böhme, K., Rohde, M., Dersch, P. „A Csr-type regulatory system, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>gsmall non-cod<strong>in</strong>g RNAs, regulates the global virulence regulator RovAofYers<strong>in</strong>iapseudotuberculosisthrough RovM.“ Mol Microbiol. 2008 Jun; 68(5):1179-95.MPP060Proteomic characterization of host pathogen <strong>in</strong>teractiondur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>ternalization of S. aureus by A549 cellsK.

Therefore, it is of <strong>in</strong>terest to understand themechanism of adaptation of the pathogen upon <strong>in</strong>fection as well as theresponse of its host. Proteomic studies of <strong>in</strong>ternalized bacteria are stronglylimited by the low number of cells recoverable from the host. With ournewly developed workflow that comb<strong>in</strong>es a pulse-chase SILAC approach,GFP supported enrichment of bacterial prote<strong>in</strong>s by fluorescence activatedcell sort<strong>in</strong>g (FACS) and gel-free mass spectrometry analysis (MS), it ispossible to monitor the proteome of S. aureus RN1HG pMV158GFP<strong>in</strong>ternalized by S9 cells, human bronchial epithelial cells [3]. We identifiedabout 600 S. aureus prote<strong>in</strong>s from 3-7x10 6 <strong>in</strong>ternalized bacteria and morethan 500 could be quantified. A further <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g host model for this<strong>in</strong>fection assay is the A549 cell l<strong>in</strong>e. Those cells belong to the alveoli ofhuman lungs, produce surfactant [4] and secrete certa<strong>in</strong> cytok<strong>in</strong>es and havetherefore an impact also on the <strong>in</strong>nate immune system. In present study weanalyzed the proteome of S. aureus after <strong>in</strong>ternalization by A549 cells.Dur<strong>in</strong>g a time range from 1.5-6.5 hours after <strong>in</strong>fection 1-3x10 6 bacteriacould be separated from the host cells. With an optimized protocolidentification and quantification of 842 prote<strong>in</strong>s could be accomplished.We could show that prote<strong>in</strong>s belong<strong>in</strong>g to e.g. peptidoglycan biosynthesisand glycolysis/gluconeogenesis were upregulated dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>fection.However, staphylococcal virulence factors which have an <strong>in</strong>fluence on itspathogenicity like hemolytic tox<strong>in</strong>s, adhes<strong>in</strong>s and enzymes which <strong>in</strong>terferewith host cell signal<strong>in</strong>g are ma<strong>in</strong>ly secreted <strong>in</strong>to the host cell lumen andtherefore lost dur<strong>in</strong>g FACS sort<strong>in</strong>g. In order to make those extracellularprote<strong>in</strong>s also accessible, we now established methods of enrich<strong>in</strong>g cellularcomponents <strong>in</strong> which S. aureus presumably resides [5]. Us<strong>in</strong>g densitygradient centrifugation and lipobiot<strong>in</strong> attached to magnetic beads,compartments conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g S. aureus and its secreted prote<strong>in</strong>s were isolatedand analyzed by LC-MS. Microscopic techniques were applied to provethe <strong>in</strong>tracellular localization of S. aureus.

Lang* 1 , E. Rastew 2 , B. Hermes 2 , E. Siegbrecht 2 , S. Banerji 2 , A. Flieger 11 Robert Koch Institut, Division of Bacterial Infections (FG11),Wernigerode, Germany2 Robert Koch Institut, Berl<strong>in</strong>, GermanyLegionella pneumophila <strong>in</strong>fects both mammalian cells and environmentalhosts, such as amoeba. Enzymes secreted by Legionella pneumophila, suchas phospholipases A (PLA) and glycerophospholipid: cholesterolacyltransferases (GCAT), may target host cell lipids and thereforecontribute to Legionnaires’ disease establishment. L. pneumophilapossesses three prote<strong>in</strong>s, PlaA, PlaC, and PlaD, belong<strong>in</strong>g to the GDSLfamily of lipases / acyltransferases. Enzymatic activity of these enzymesdepends on a conserved nucleophilic ser<strong>in</strong>e embedded <strong>in</strong>to the GDSLmotif as well as on the residues aspartate and histid<strong>in</strong> together build<strong>in</strong>g upthe catalytic triad. The sequences of PlaA and PlaC harbour N-term<strong>in</strong>alsignal peptides for Sec and subsequent type II-dependent prote<strong>in</strong> export,whereas the secretion mode of PlaD is still unclear. PlaC is the majorGCAT secreted by L. pneumophila and able to transfer free fatty acidsfrom phospholipids to cholesterol and ergosterol, additional to PLA andLPLA activities. This GCAT activity is post-transcriptionally regulated byProA, a secreted z<strong>in</strong>c metalloprotease. S<strong>in</strong>ce cholesterol is an importantcompound of mammalian cell membranes and ergosterol of amoebamembranes, GCAT activity might be a tool for host cell remodell<strong>in</strong>gdur<strong>in</strong>g Legionella <strong>in</strong>fection. Our aim was to characterize the mode of PlaCGCAT activation and to determ<strong>in</strong>e how ProA processes PlaC. Our results<strong>in</strong>dicate that PlaC forms two prote<strong>in</strong> loops due to <strong>in</strong>tramolecular disulfidebonds which are both essential for PLA / GCAT activities. Analyses of thepotential cleavage site as well as loop 1 deletion mutants suggest theimportance of ProA loop deletion for GCAT activation. Our data therefore<strong>in</strong>dicate a novel enzyme <strong>in</strong>hibition / activation mechanism where loop 1displays an <strong>in</strong>hibitory effect on PlaC GCAT and full PLA activity untilPlaC is exported to the external space and subsequently activated by ProA.S. aureus was widely considered an extracellular pathogen.
