202attracted the attention of molecular microbiologists and there have beenseveral approaches to uncover their signal<strong>in</strong>g landscape.Bacillus subtilis encodes three putative diadenylate cyclases. One of them,DisA, checks DNA <strong>in</strong>tegrity to control cell division and sporulation. Incontrast, the function of the other prote<strong>in</strong>s, CdaA and CdaS, is stillunknown. Moreover, B. subtilis encodes two diguanylate cyclases, CdgAand CdgB. In many bacteria, c-di-GMP governs the lifestyle switchbetween biofilm formation and motility. However, noth<strong>in</strong>g is known aboutthe function of c-di-GMP <strong>in</strong> B. subtilis.We have studied the role of these enzymes <strong>in</strong> the metabolism of cyclicd<strong>in</strong>ucleotides <strong>in</strong> B. subtilis. Both signal<strong>in</strong>g molecules have a tremendouseffect on the production of flagell<strong>in</strong> (Hag), thus they are <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> thecontrol of motility. In contrast, cyclic d<strong>in</strong>ucleotides have no effect onbiofilm formation. This similarity of the phenotypes of the mutants hasnever been observed before and suggests a l<strong>in</strong>k between the signal<strong>in</strong>gpathways of the two cyclic signal<strong>in</strong>g molecules.Another unprecedented result of our studies is the essential function of B.subtilis for the formation of c-di-AMP. The genes encod<strong>in</strong>g the twovegetative diadenylate cyclases, DisA and CdaA, could be deleted onlywhen the sporulation-specific enzyme CdaS was artificially expressed <strong>in</strong>the logarithmic phase. Thus, our results <strong>in</strong>dicate a key role for cyclicd<strong>in</strong>ucleotide signal<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> B. subtilis.RSP035Role of alternative sigma factor PP4553 <strong>in</strong> stress response andbiofilm formation ofPseudomonas putidaKT2440B. Bugert*, J. OverhageKarlsruhe Institute of Technology - KIT, Institute of Functional Interfaces,Eggenste<strong>in</strong>-Leopoldshafen, GermanyPseudomonas putidais a Gram-negative, aerobic, flagellated and nonpathogenicsoil bacterium, which is well known for its extremelymetabolic versatility. Because of this, P. putidaoffers a considerablepotential for biotechnological applications. The remarkable versatility ofthis bacterium is at least <strong>in</strong> parts driven by sophisticated and coord<strong>in</strong>atedregulation of gene expression mediated by a repertoire of transcriptionalregulators, <strong>in</strong> particular the so called sigma factors. Sigma factors areessential for prokaryotic transcription <strong>in</strong>itiation and enable specific b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gof the RNA polymerase to the respective promoter recognition sites.Bacteria generally conta<strong>in</strong> one housekeep<strong>in</strong>g sigma factor and a pool ofalternative sigma factors which are activated <strong>in</strong> response to different andoften stressful conditions. The genome of P. putida exhibits with 24 astrik<strong>in</strong>g number of putative sigma factors, one of which is open read<strong>in</strong>gframe PP4553. To analyze this putative sigma factor <strong>in</strong> more detail, weconstructed a gene knock-out deletion mutant of PP4553 <strong>in</strong>P. putida KT2440. Further characterization of this PP4553-mutant revealeda twofold <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> attachment as well as biofilm formation on abioticsurfaces <strong>in</strong> comparison to the wild type stra<strong>in</strong>. Moreover, growth analysesof wild type and PP4553-mutant stra<strong>in</strong> under different stressful conditionssuggested that PP4553 is also <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> stress response ofP. putidaKT2440. To ga<strong>in</strong> a deeper <strong>in</strong>sight <strong>in</strong>to the regulatory circuit of the putativesigma factor PP4553, we performed transcriptome analysis us<strong>in</strong>g Illum<strong>in</strong>asequenc<strong>in</strong>g.RSP036Clon<strong>in</strong>g and heterologous expression of naphthoate-CoA ligasefrom the sulphate-reduc<strong>in</strong>g culture N47P.

N47 is an enrichmentculture composed ma<strong>in</strong>ly of one member of the deltaProteobacteria.

Strehmel*, J. OverhageKIT, Institute for Functional Interfaces, Eggenste<strong>in</strong>-Leopoldshafen,GermanyMulticellular behavior is an important process central to the pathogenesisof P. aerug<strong>in</strong>osa. In addition to biofilm formation, swarm<strong>in</strong>g motilityrepresents a second surface-associated community behavior of this humanpathogen. Recently, we have shown that swarm<strong>in</strong>g can be considered as adist<strong>in</strong>ct physiological state with a tailored metabolic lifestyle or a complexadaptation of P. aerug<strong>in</strong>osa <strong>in</strong> response to a viscous environment(arguably similar to the mucus rich CF lung) lead<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>in</strong>creased antibioticresistance and virulence gene expression. Dur<strong>in</strong>g an extensive mutantlibrary screen<strong>in</strong>g for swarm<strong>in</strong>g deficient mutants, we identified a twocomponentsensor k<strong>in</strong>ase transposon mutant (PA4398) <strong>in</strong> P. aerug<strong>in</strong>osaPA14 with defects <strong>in</strong> the ability to swarm on semisolid surfaces (1). Toanalyze the function of this sensor k<strong>in</strong>ase <strong>in</strong> more detail, we constructed aknock-out deletion mutant of PA4398 <strong>in</strong> P. aerug<strong>in</strong>osa PA14 andphenotypically characterized this sensor k<strong>in</strong>ase mutant. In addition to itsswarm<strong>in</strong>g defect, this mutant also exhibited a decreased production ofbiofilm mass <strong>in</strong> comparison to wildtype cells after 24 hours of growth. Incontrast, no differences regard<strong>in</strong>g growth rate, twitch<strong>in</strong>g and swimm<strong>in</strong>gmotility were observed. First prelim<strong>in</strong>ary microarray analysis revealed the<strong>in</strong>volvement of this sensor k<strong>in</strong>ase <strong>in</strong> the regulation of nitrogen and ironmetabolism.(1) Yeung AT et al., 2009.

M., GermanyLantibiotics [1], such as subtil<strong>in</strong> and nis<strong>in</strong> are gene-encoded antimicrobialactive peptides [2]. These peptides are ribosomally synthesized by Bacillussubtilis and Lactococcus lactis, as <strong>in</strong>active prepeptides [1]. The <strong>in</strong>activeprepeptides undergo an extensive posttranslational modification togenerate active peptides [3, 4]. The posttranslational modifications result<strong>in</strong> the formation of non-prote<strong>in</strong>ogenic am<strong>in</strong>o acids lanthion<strong>in</strong>e and 3-methyllanthion<strong>in</strong>, as well as didehydroam<strong>in</strong>o acids. Nis<strong>in</strong> and subtil<strong>in</strong> havea similar lanthion<strong>in</strong> r<strong>in</strong>g structure and they differ <strong>in</strong> 14 am<strong>in</strong>o acids.Despite their structural similarity, they are highly specific for theirrespective auto<strong>in</strong>duction system. In the presence of extracellular subtil<strong>in</strong> ornis<strong>in</strong>, a two component system consistent of a histid<strong>in</strong>e k<strong>in</strong>ase and aresponse regulator <strong>in</strong>teracts with the respective lantibiotic. The histid<strong>in</strong>ek<strong>in</strong>ase is auto<strong>in</strong>duced <strong>in</strong> a quorum sens<strong>in</strong>g manner and phosphorylates theresponse regulator, which <strong>in</strong> turn <strong>in</strong>duces the expression of the lantibioticstructural gene, the genes of the lantibiotic biosynthesis mach<strong>in</strong>ery and theself immunity genes[5].So far the <strong>in</strong>teraction between subtil<strong>in</strong> or nis<strong>in</strong> with their correspond<strong>in</strong>ghistid<strong>in</strong>e k<strong>in</strong>ases has not been characterized. To identify the specificb<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g motif of subtil<strong>in</strong> and nis<strong>in</strong>, a -galactosidase based reporter systemfor lantibiotic auto<strong>in</strong>duction was constructed. In addition, a plasmid basedexpression system was created, which enables the heterologous expressionof subtil<strong>in</strong>/nis<strong>in</strong> hybrid peptides. These hybrid molecules will be used toanalyse and optimize the lantibiotic properties with respect to the activity,stability and solubility. Additionally, these molecules will also identify thespecific b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g motif between the lantibiotic and its histid<strong>in</strong>e k<strong>in</strong>ase byvirtue of their specific auto<strong>in</strong>duction.1.

203First they were discovered <strong>in</strong> plants, but later were also described <strong>in</strong> fungi,cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes. In plants, phytochromes control awide variety of developmental processes, while their function <strong>in</strong>prokaryotes is widely unknown. Most bacterial phytochromes conta<strong>in</strong> ahistd<strong>in</strong>e-k<strong>in</strong>ase doma<strong>in</strong> suggest<strong>in</strong>g that signal transduction occurs via atwo-component regulatory system.Pseudomonas aerug<strong>in</strong>osais one of thefirst heterotrophic bacteria <strong>in</strong> which a phytochrome has been identified.With the two genes bphO and bphP P. aerug<strong>in</strong>osa possesses the twonecessary components to assemble a red-light photoreceptor system:bphOcodes for the heme oxygenase to generate the chromophore biliverd<strong>in</strong> IXand bphP,encod<strong>in</strong>g the apo-phytochrome. So far, no correspond<strong>in</strong>gphytochrome response regulator has been identified yet.bphO and bphP form a bicistronic operon whose expression is controlledby the alternative sigma factor RpoS. New analyses provide an additionalregulation of bphP by the quorum sens<strong>in</strong>g-regulator LasR.This exceptionalregulation is currently addressed to study <strong>in</strong> more detail. To <strong>in</strong>vestigate thefunction of bphO and bphP chromosomal knock-out mutants wereconstructed and analysed. However, no significant phenotypical differencebetween the mutants and wild type were observed. A comb<strong>in</strong>ation ofexpression profile experiments and proteome analyses revealed a l<strong>in</strong>k to abphP-mediated stress response.

Molitor* 1 , M. Staßen 2 , M. Rother 2 , N. Frankenberg-D<strong>in</strong>kel 11 Ruhr University Bochum, Physiology of Microorganisms, Bochum, Germany2 TU Dresden, Institute for Microbiology, Dresden, GermanyBased on a bio<strong>in</strong>formatics study, the prote<strong>in</strong> MA4561 fromMethanosarc<strong>in</strong>a acetivorans was orig<strong>in</strong>ally predicted to be aphytochrome-like prote<strong>in</strong> [1]. Phytochromes are red light sens<strong>in</strong>gphotoreceptors with a bound l<strong>in</strong>ear tetrapyrrole chromophore at aconserved cyste<strong>in</strong>e residue <strong>in</strong> either a PAS or a GAF doma<strong>in</strong>. MA4561consists of two alternat<strong>in</strong>g PAS and GAF doma<strong>in</strong>s fused to a C-term<strong>in</strong>alk<strong>in</strong>ase doma<strong>in</strong>.While we were able to show that recomb<strong>in</strong>antly produced and purifiedprote<strong>in</strong> does not b<strong>in</strong>d any l<strong>in</strong>ear tetrapyrrole chromophores, UV-visspectroscopy revealed the presence of a heme tetrapyrrole cofactor. Incontrast to many other known heme-conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g prote<strong>in</strong>s, the heme wasfound to be covalently bound via one v<strong>in</strong>yl side cha<strong>in</strong> to cyste<strong>in</strong>e 656 <strong>in</strong>the second GAF doma<strong>in</strong>. This GAF doma<strong>in</strong> by itself is sufficient forcovalent attachment. The heme cofactor is redox active and is able tocoord<strong>in</strong>ate carbon monoxide <strong>in</strong> its reduced state. Interest<strong>in</strong>gly, the redoxstate of the heme cofactor has a strong <strong>in</strong>fluence on autophosphorylationactivity. While reduced and CO-bound prote<strong>in</strong> does not autophosphorylate,the oxidized prote<strong>in</strong> gives a strong autophosphorylation signal. Twodimensionalth<strong>in</strong>-layer chromatography identified ser<strong>in</strong>e and tyros<strong>in</strong>eresidues as phosphorylation sites.Based on its genomic localization, MA4561 is most likely a sensor k<strong>in</strong>aseof a two-component system. The transcriptional regulator MA4560 (MsrG)encoded downstream of MA4561is directly <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> transcriptionalactivation ofmtsH, which encodes a methyltransferase/corr<strong>in</strong>oid fusionprote<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> methylsulfide metabolism [2, 3]. On the basis of ourresults a model <strong>in</strong> which MA4561 acts as a heme-based redox sensor ispresented.[1] Karniol, B. et al.,Biochem J(2005)392(1), 103-116[2] Bose, A.et al.,Mol Microbiol (2009)74(1), 227-238[3] Oelgeschläger, E., and Rother, M., Mol Microbiol (2009) 72(5), 1260-1272RSP042Functional Analysis of Additional Circadian Clock Prote<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong>Synechocystissp.

Here, we present mathematical modelsof the synthesis pathways of TA <strong>in</strong> the two mat<strong>in</strong>g types of an idealizedMucor-fungus, based on differential equations. These models <strong>in</strong>clude thepositive feedback of TA on its own synthesis. We compare three submodels<strong>in</strong> view of bistability, robustness and the reversibility oftransitions. Our modell<strong>in</strong>g study showed that, <strong>in</strong> a system where<strong>in</strong>termediatesare exchanged, a reversible transition between the two stable steady statesoccurs, while an exchange of the end product leads to an irreversibletransition. The reversible transition is physiologically favoured, becausethe high-production state of TA must come to an end eventually.Moreover, the exchange of <strong>in</strong>termediates and TA is compared with the 3-way handshake widely used by computers l<strong>in</strong>ked <strong>in</strong> a network.RSP044Cyste<strong>in</strong>e formation with Corynebacterium glutamicum and<strong>in</strong>tracellular sens<strong>in</strong>g of O-acetyl-ser<strong>in</strong>eK.

We fused the CysR targetcysI to EYFP to construct pSenOAS. Presence of pSenOAS resulted <strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>creased fluorescence of cultures with elevated OAS levels, illustrat<strong>in</strong>gthat <strong>in</strong> vivo OAS <strong>in</strong>teracts with CysR to cause <strong>in</strong>creased cysI transcription.The system established allows the detection of cells with elevated OASlevels at the s<strong>in</strong>gle cell-level and the differentiation and sort<strong>in</strong>g of s<strong>in</strong>glecells accord<strong>in</strong>g to their cytosolic OAS concentration via FACS(Fluorescence Activated Cell Sort<strong>in</strong>g).The L-ser<strong>in</strong>e producer accumulated already 1 mM L-cyste<strong>in</strong>e.
