StülkeGeorg-August University, Allgeme<strong>in</strong>e Mikrobiologie, Gött<strong>in</strong>gen, GermanyCells of Bacillus subtilis can either be motile or sessile, depend<strong>in</strong>g on theexpression of mutually exclusive sets of genes that are required foragellum or biolm formation, respectively. Both activities arecoord<strong>in</strong>ated by the master regulator, S<strong>in</strong>R. We have identified three novelfactors that are required for biofilm formation, the transcription factorCcpA, the novel RNase Y and the previously uncharacterized YmdBprote<strong>in</strong>. S<strong>in</strong>ce YmdB had not been studied before, we analyzed thecorrespond<strong>in</strong>g mutant <strong>in</strong> more detail. We observed a strong overexpressionof the hag gene encod<strong>in</strong>g agell<strong>in</strong> and of other genes of the SigDdependentmotility regulon <strong>in</strong> the ymdB mutant, whereas the two majoroperons for biolm formation, tapA-sipW-tasA and epsA-O, were notexpressed. As a result, the ymdB mutant is unable to form biolms. Ananalysis of the <strong>in</strong>dividual cells of a population revealed that the ymdBmutant no longer exhibited bistable behavior; <strong>in</strong>stead, all cells are shortand motile. The <strong>in</strong>ability of the ymdB mutant to form biolms issuppressed by the deletion of the s<strong>in</strong>R gene encod<strong>in</strong>g the master regulatorof biolm formation, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that S<strong>in</strong>R-dependent repression of biolmgenes cannot be relieved <strong>in</strong> a ymdB mutant. Our studies demonstrate thatlack of expression of SlrR, an antagonist of S<strong>in</strong>R, and overexpression ofSlrR suppresses the effects of a ymdB mutation.ISV13No abstract submitted!ISV14No abstract submitted!ISV15Suppression of Clostridium difficile disease and transmissionby the <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>al microbiotaA.W. WalkerWellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Pathogen Genomics Group, H<strong>in</strong>xton,United K<strong>in</strong>gdomThe human large <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>e plays host to an extremely abundant and diversecollection of microbes, which are collectively termed the <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>almicrobiota. Under normal circumstances our resident microbes areconsidered to play a number of key roles <strong>in</strong> the ma<strong>in</strong>tenance of humanhealth. One example is the establishment of a phenomenon termed“colonization resistance”. Dur<strong>in</strong>g health, or <strong>in</strong> the absence of antibioticuse, our <strong>in</strong>digenous microbiota can effectively <strong>in</strong>hibit colonization andovergrowth by <strong>in</strong>vad<strong>in</strong>g “foreign” microbes such as pathogens. In do<strong>in</strong>g soour microbiota helps to protect us from gastro<strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong>fection and alsoacts to keep potentially pathogenic <strong>in</strong>digenous species such as Clostridiumdifficile under control. Colonization resistance aga<strong>in</strong>st C. difficile istypically broken by broad-spectrum antibiotic use, which disrupts thedensity, composition and activity of the <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>al microbiota and allowsthe pathogen to proliferate <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>e and cause disease. Us<strong>in</strong>g amouse model of disease we monitored longitud<strong>in</strong>al shifts <strong>in</strong> microbiotacomposition <strong>in</strong> an attempt to better understand the underly<strong>in</strong>g dynamicsbeh<strong>in</strong>d antibiotic-associated C. difficile <strong>in</strong>fection and transmission. Wef<strong>in</strong>d that <strong>in</strong>fection with certa<strong>in</strong> stra<strong>in</strong>s of C. difficile results <strong>in</strong> prolongedshedd<strong>in</strong>g of C. difficile spores, which occurs <strong>in</strong> tandem with <strong>in</strong>hibited reestablishmentof colonization resistance. This leads to enhancedtransmission of these stra<strong>in</strong>s and also mimics the situation observed <strong>in</strong>around 25% of C. difficile cases <strong>in</strong> humans where the disease becomesrefractory to treatment and patients suffers constant relapses, even aftertreatment with strong antibiotics such as vancomyc<strong>in</strong>. I will thereforedescribe more novel means of restor<strong>in</strong>g bacterial diversity <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>eand offer some perspectives on future challenges for develop<strong>in</strong>g therapiesto promote colonization resistance.ISV16Systems biology of halophilic archaeaD.

A. ProctorEmeritus Professor of Medical Microbiology/Immunology and Medic<strong>in</strong>e.University of Wiscons<strong>in</strong> School of Medic<strong>in</strong>e and Public Health, Madison, WI,United StatesS. aureus uses multiple strategies to survive from coloniz<strong>in</strong>g passively thehost to attack<strong>in</strong>g the host defenses. S. aureus has traditionally beenconsidered a colonizer of the nose, but the newer methicill<strong>in</strong> resistantstra<strong>in</strong>s (MRSA) have the capacity to colonize the throat, vag<strong>in</strong>a, rectum,and sk<strong>in</strong>. Once the sk<strong>in</strong> is barrier is breached host cationic antimicrobialprote<strong>in</strong>s (CAPs) are released from the kerat<strong>in</strong>ocytes, but S. aureus has atwo-component regulator, GraRS, which recognizes and confers resistanceto CAPs. Local resident <strong>in</strong>flammatory cells such as macrophages and mastcells can be circumvented by the organism be<strong>in</strong>g taken up <strong>in</strong>to the host cellvia 51 <strong>in</strong>tegr<strong>in</strong> and eventually the cytoplasm thereby avoid<strong>in</strong>g thebactericidal mechanisms of these professional phagocytes. S. aureus has avery wide variety of factors that block each stage of <strong>in</strong>flux of neutrophils(PMNs) <strong>in</strong>to the area of local <strong>in</strong>fection. Those PMNs that do reach the<strong>in</strong>fected site can also have their bactericidal mechanisms circumvented sothat they too become a reservoir for S. aureus. Proliferation of thestaphylococci can result <strong>in</strong> local abscess formation where<strong>in</strong> bacterialprote<strong>in</strong>s such as coagulase can limit blood flow thereby reduc<strong>in</strong>g PMN<strong>in</strong>flux, ClfA and Eap can help <strong>in</strong> the formation of an abscess, and theanaerobic micro-environment will also reduce the effectiveness ofprofessional phagocytes. Other S. aureus can down-regulate theirvirulence factors by becom<strong>in</strong>g small colony variants (SCVs) and delet<strong>in</strong>gtheir agr and its associated virulence regulon. Although these organismsare much less aggressive, they are better able to enter a very wide varietyof host cells (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g respirator and mammar epithelial cells, endothelialcells, fibroblasts, and kerat<strong>in</strong>ocytes), and persist because they fail to lyseor to produce apoptosis of the host cells, do not stimulate hypoxia<strong>in</strong>duciblefactor (HIF), and resist host cell CAPs. Phenotypic switch<strong>in</strong>g toSCVs has now been demonstrated <strong>in</strong> animal models, and these SCVsgenerate a much less robust immune response than their wild type parentstra<strong>in</strong>s. In addition, these apparently less virulent variants show <strong>in</strong>creasedexpression of adhes<strong>in</strong>s, thereby allow<strong>in</strong>g them to persist better on hosttissues. The ability of S. aureus to form biofilm is another mechanism forescap<strong>in</strong>g host defenses. T cells have been recently implicated <strong>in</strong> thedefense aga<strong>in</strong>st S. aureus <strong>in</strong>fections, and T-cell angery is found <strong>in</strong> chronic<strong>in</strong>fections. Particularly worry<strong>in</strong>g is the fact that multi-drug resistantstra<strong>in</strong>s are now circulat<strong>in</strong>g that have enhanced ability to survive on sk<strong>in</strong>, <strong>in</strong>the lung, and kidneys. For example, resistance to l<strong>in</strong>ezolid has been l<strong>in</strong>kedto po<strong>in</strong>t mutations <strong>in</strong> relA that allowed for the development of SCVs thatshowed an enhanced str<strong>in</strong>gent response and persistent <strong>in</strong>fection <strong>in</strong> patientsand animal models. The success of S. aureus as a pathogen certa<strong>in</strong>lyrelates to the vast array of survival strategies.BDV001Sett<strong>in</strong>g the pace: Mechanisms controll<strong>in</strong>g the temporalregulation of the Caulobacter crescentus cell cycleK. Jonas* 1 , M.T. Laub 1,21 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Biology,Cambridge MA, United States2 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute,Cambridge MA, United StatesOne of the most fundamental processes <strong>in</strong> biology is the regulation of thecell cycle, <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g DNA replication, chromosome segregation, and celldivision. The alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus has emergedas an excellent model for study<strong>in</strong>g the basic pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of cell cyclecontrol, largely ow<strong>in</strong>g to an ability to synchronize large populations ofcells. Additionally, Caulobacter divides asymmetrically, yield<strong>in</strong>g daughtercells that differ with respect to their replicative fates and morphology. This<strong>in</strong>tr<strong>in</strong>sic asymmetry has also made Caulobacter an attractive model forunderstand<strong>in</strong>g spatial regulatory mechanisms. Our recent workBIOspektrum | Tagungsband <strong>2012</strong>
55demonstrated that the Caulobacter cell cycle is composed of two separablecontrol modules [1]. One module centers on an essential DNA-b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gprote<strong>in</strong> called CtrA, which governs replicative asymmetry, polarmorphogenesis and cell division. The other module centers on thereplication <strong>in</strong>itiator DnaA and dictates the periodicity of DNA replication,thereby act<strong>in</strong>g as an <strong>in</strong>tr<strong>in</strong>sic pacemaker of replication and the cell cycle.Although CtrA regulation is now understood <strong>in</strong> great detail, ourunderstand<strong>in</strong>g of the mechanisms govern<strong>in</strong>g DnaA activity rema<strong>in</strong>s<strong>in</strong>complete. Us<strong>in</strong>g a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of genetic and yeast two-hybrid screenswe have identified a novel regulator of DnaA, whose precise role <strong>in</strong> theregulation of DnaA and replication are currently under <strong>in</strong>vestigation.Dissect<strong>in</strong>g the regulation of the cell cycle <strong>in</strong> Caulobacter andunderstand<strong>in</strong>g how it relates to the cell cycles of other bacteria willultimately provide <strong>in</strong>sight <strong>in</strong>to how the bacterial cell cycle has evolved toallow cells to grow and proliferate <strong>in</strong> diverse environmental niches.[1] Jonas K, Chen YE, Laub MT. (2011). Modularity of the bacterial cell cycle enables <strong>in</strong>dependentspatial and temporal control of DNA replication.

Kiekebusch* 1,2 , K. Michie 3 , L.-O. Essen 4 , J. Löwe 3 , M. Thanbichler 1,21 Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Max Planck ResearchGroup Prokaryotic Cell Biology, Marburg, Germany2 Philipps University , Department of Biology, Marburg, Germany3 Medical Research Council, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge,United K<strong>in</strong>gdom4 Philipps University, Department of Chemistry, Marburg, GermanyIntracellular prote<strong>in</strong> gradients play a critical role <strong>in</strong> the spatial organizationof both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, but <strong>in</strong> many cases themechanisms underly<strong>in</strong>g their formation are still unclear. Recently, abipolar gradient of the P-loop ATPase MipZ was found to be required forproper division site placement <strong>in</strong> the differentiat<strong>in</strong>g bacterium Caulobactercrescentus.MipZ <strong>in</strong>teracts with a k<strong>in</strong>etochore-like nucleoprote<strong>in</strong> complex formed bythe DNA partition<strong>in</strong>g prote<strong>in</strong> ParB <strong>in</strong> proximity of the chromosomal orig<strong>in</strong>of replication. Upon entry <strong>in</strong>to S-phase, the two newly duplicated orig<strong>in</strong>regions are partitioned and sequestered to opposite cell poles, giv<strong>in</strong>g rise toa bipolar distribution of MipZ with a def<strong>in</strong>ed concentration m<strong>in</strong>imum atthe cell center. Act<strong>in</strong>g as a direct <strong>in</strong>hibitor of divisome formation, MipZthus effectively conf<strong>in</strong>es cytok<strong>in</strong>esis to the midcell region.Based on the crystal structures of the apo and ATP-bound prote<strong>in</strong> and bymeans of mutant variants of MipZ, we dissected the role of nucleotideb<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g and hydrolysis <strong>in</strong> MipZ function. Gradient formation is found torely on a nucleotide-regulated alternation of MipZ between a monomericand dimeric form. MipZ monomers <strong>in</strong>teract with ParB, which results <strong>in</strong>recruitment of MipZ to the polar regions. Our results suggest that the polarParB complexes locally stimulate the formation of ATP-bound MipZdimers, the biological active form that <strong>in</strong>hibits FtsZ assembly. Moreover,dimers are reta<strong>in</strong>ed near the cell poles through association withchromosomal DNA. Due to their <strong>in</strong>tr<strong>in</strong>sic ATPase activity, dimerseventually dissociate <strong>in</strong>to freely diffusible monomers that undergospontaneous nucleotide exchange and are recaptured by ParB.The MipZ gradient can thus be envisioned as an asymmetric distribution ofdimers that are released from a polar pool and slowly diffuse towards midcell.By virtue of the marked differences <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>teraction networks anddiffusion rates of monomers and dimers, ATP hydrolysis promotesoscillation of MipZ between the polar ParB complexes and pole-distalregions of the nucleoid. The MipZ gradient thus represents the steady-statedistribution of molecules <strong>in</strong> a highly dynamic system, provid<strong>in</strong>g a generalmechanism for the establishment of prote<strong>in</strong> gradients with<strong>in</strong> the conf<strong>in</strong>edspace of the bacterial cytoplasm.BDV003Regulation of cellular reversals <strong>in</strong> Myxococcus xanthusC. Kaimer*, D. ZusmanUniversity of California, Berkeley, Molecular and Cellular Biology,Berkeley, United StatesSocial behaviour patterns, such as predation or the formation of fruit<strong>in</strong>gbodies <strong>in</strong> the soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, require the coord<strong>in</strong>atedmovement of cells. Myxococci lack flagella, but move by glid<strong>in</strong>g on solidsurfaces us<strong>in</strong>g two genetically dist<strong>in</strong>ct mechanisms: social S-motilitymediates movement <strong>in</strong> groups while adventurous A-motility powers<strong>in</strong>dividual cells.In both systems, coord<strong>in</strong>ated movement is achieved by regulat<strong>in</strong>g thefrequency of cellular reversals. Reversals <strong>in</strong>volve the <strong>in</strong>version of thecell´s polarity axis, which is established by a pair of GTPase/GAP prote<strong>in</strong>s(MglA and MglB) that localize to opposite cell poles. MglA and MglBswitch their position at reversal, result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the re-orientation of the S- andA-motility motors.The frequency of cell reversals is modulated by the Frz signall<strong>in</strong>gpathway, which operates similar to the E. coli chemotaxis system. In thepresence of a chemoreceptor homologue FrzCD and a coupl<strong>in</strong>g prote<strong>in</strong>FrzA, phosphotransfer occurs from the FrzE histid<strong>in</strong>e k<strong>in</strong>ase to a responseregulator, FrzZ. We currently use genetic and biochemical approaches toidentify downstream targets of the response regulator FrzZ. Characteriz<strong>in</strong>gthe output of the pathway is essential to understand how the Frz systemcontrols the GTPase/GAP switch and times cell reversals.BDV004The cell wall amidase AmiC2 is pivotal for multicellulardevelopment <strong>in</strong> the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme ATCC29133J. Lehner* 1 , Y. Zhang 2 , S. Berendt 1 , I. Maldener 1 , K. Forchhammer 11 Universität Tüb<strong>in</strong>gen, IMIT, Mikrobiologie/ Organismische Interaktionen,Tüb<strong>in</strong>gen, Germany2 Hertie-Institute, Cl<strong>in</strong>ical Bra<strong>in</strong> Research, Tüb<strong>in</strong>gen, GermanyFilamentous cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales are primordialmulticellular organisms, a property widely considered unique toeukaryotes. Their filaments are composed of hundreds of mutuallydependent vegetative cells and, when deprived for a source of comb<strong>in</strong>ednitrogen, regularly spaced N 2-fix<strong>in</strong>g heterocysts. Furthermore, specializedspore-like cells (ak<strong>in</strong>etes) and motile filaments (hormogonia) differentiateunder certa<strong>in</strong> environmental conditions. The cells of the filament exchangemetabolites and signal<strong>in</strong>g molecules, but the structural basis for cellularcommunication with<strong>in</strong> the filament rema<strong>in</strong>s elusive.Here we show that mutation of a s<strong>in</strong>gle gene, encod<strong>in</strong>g cell-wall amidaseAmiC2, completely changes the filamentous morphology of N.punctiforme and abrogates cell differentiation and <strong>in</strong>tercellularcommunication. The mutant forms irregular clusters of twisted cellsconnected by aberrant septa. Rapid <strong>in</strong>tercellular molecule exchange takesplace between cells of the wild-type filaments, but is completely abolished<strong>in</strong> the mutant, and this blockage obstructs any cell-differentiation,<strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g a fundamental importance of <strong>in</strong>tercellular communication forcell-differentiation <strong>in</strong> N. punctiforme. AmiC2-GFP localizes <strong>in</strong> the cellwall imply<strong>in</strong>g that AmiC2 processes the newly synthesized septum <strong>in</strong>to afunctional cell-cell communication structure dur<strong>in</strong>g cell division.Ultrastructural analysis shows a contiguous mure<strong>in</strong> sacculus with<strong>in</strong>dividual cells connected by a s<strong>in</strong>gle-layered septal cross-wall <strong>in</strong> themutant as well as <strong>in</strong> the wild type. AmiC2-GFP also accumulates <strong>in</strong> theregion of the polar neck dur<strong>in</strong>g heterocyst differentiation and disappearsafter heterocyst maturation as well as <strong>in</strong> the septa of mature ak<strong>in</strong>etes.Synchronously divid<strong>in</strong>g cells of hormogonia accumulate AmiC2-GFP <strong>in</strong>the septal cross walls. The AmiC2 prote<strong>in</strong> could be expressed <strong>in</strong> E. coliand purified. It shows cell wall lytic activity and can complement thefilamentous phenotype of E. coli triple amidase mutants.From our studies we can conclude that the cell wall amidase AmiC2 of N.punctiforme is a novel morphogene required for cell-cell communication,cellular development and multicellularity <strong>in</strong> this cyanobacteriumBDV005Functional analysis of cytoskeletal prote<strong>in</strong>s implicated <strong>in</strong>magnetosome formation and cell division <strong>in</strong> MagnetospirillumgryphiswaldenseF.D. Müller*, O. Raschdorf, E. Katzmann, M. Messerer, D. SchülerLudwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Mikrobiologie, Planegg-Mart<strong>in</strong>sried, GermanyMagnetotactic bacteria use magnetosomes to move along magnetic fieldl<strong>in</strong>es. Magnetosomes are organelles which consist of membrane-enclosednanometer-sized magnetite crystals l<strong>in</strong>ed up along the cell axis. Thismagnetosome cha<strong>in</strong> is located at midcell and split dur<strong>in</strong>g cell division,whereupon magnetosomes are thought to re-localize from the new cellpoles to the new centres by an as yet unknown mechanism. Midcell<strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong> bacteria is usually provided by the essential cell divisionprote<strong>in</strong>, FtsZ. Intrigu<strong>in</strong>gly, M. gryphiswaldense has two ftsZ homologs (agenu<strong>in</strong>e ftsZ and ftsZm). ftsZm is co-located with<strong>in</strong> the genomicmagnetosome island with other magnetosome genes <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g mamK,which encodes a further, act<strong>in</strong>-like cytoskeletal prote<strong>in</strong> that polymerizes<strong>in</strong>to straight magnetosome filament structures. We analyzed the functionof these cytoskeletal elements likely implicated <strong>in</strong> the magnetosome cha<strong>in</strong>division and segregation process.Fluorescence microscopy revealed that FtsZ Mgr and FtsZm co-localize atthe division plane <strong>in</strong> asymmetric spots opposite to the MamK filament.This asymmetry co<strong>in</strong>cides with an asymmetric <strong>in</strong>dentation and division ofM. gryphiswaldense cells which likely facilitates cleavage of themagnetosome cha<strong>in</strong> ow<strong>in</strong>g to leverage. In contrast to previous observation,deletion of had no effect on magnetite crystal biom<strong>in</strong>eralization but<strong>in</strong>fluenced the cell size of M. gryphiswaldense. To analyze the dynamics ofmagnetosome daughter cha<strong>in</strong> segregation we performed fluorescence timelapse microscopy of grow<strong>in</strong>g cells. Our prelim<strong>in</strong>ary results suggest thatequal proportions of magnetosomes are rapidly removed from the divisionplane and become trapped at the centres of future daughter cells dur<strong>in</strong>g thedivision process.
