[Abstract]  Cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates distinct aspects of bacterial physiology. It is synthesized by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and hydrolyzed by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). To date, the activities of DGC and PDE are commonly assessed by phenotypic assays, mass spectrometry analysis of intracellular c-di-GMP concentration, or riboswitch-based fluorescent biosensors. However, some of these methods require cutting-edge equipment, which might not be available in every laboratory. Here, we report a new simple, convenient and cost-effective system to assess the function of DGCs and PDEs in E. coli. This system utilizes the high specificity of a riboswitch to c-di-GMP and its ability to regulate the expression of a downstream ... [摘要]  环状二磷酸鸟苷(c-di-GMP)是一种无处不在的第二信使,它调节细菌生理学的不同方面。 它由diguanylate环化酶(DGC)合成并被磷酸二酯酶(PDE)水解。 迄今为止,通常通过表型分析,细胞内c-di-GMP浓度的质谱分析或基于核糖开关的荧光生物传感器来评估DGC和PDE的活性。 但是,其中一些方法需要尖端设备,而这些设备可能不适用于每个实验室。 在这里,我们报告了一个新的简单,方便和具有成本效益的系统,用于评估E中DGC和PDE的功能。大肠杆菌。 该系统利用核糖开关对c-di-GMP的高特异性及其响应于c-di-GMP浓度而调节下游β-半乳糖苷酶报道基因的表达的能力。 在该协议中,我们描述了该系统的构建及其用于评估DGC和PDE酶的活性。

[Abstract]  Bacteria use quorum-sensing (QS) systems to monitor and regulate their population density. Bacterial QS involves small molecules that act as signals for bacterial communication. Many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens use a class of widely conserved molecules, called diffusible signal factor (DSF) family QS signals. The measurement of DSF family signal molecules is essential for understanding DSF metabolic pathways, signaling networks, as well as regulatory roles. Here, we describe a method for the extraction of DSF family signal molecules from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) cell pellets and Xoo culture supernatant. We determined the levels of DSF family signals using ultra-performance liquid chromatographic system (UPLC) coupled with accurate mass ...

Single Cell Flow Cytometry Assay for Peptide Uptake by Bacteria

[Abstract]  Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can target the bacterial envelope or alternatively have intracellular targets. The latter requires uptake of the peptide by the bacterial cells. The bacterial internalization of an AMP can be evaluated by a fluorescence-based method that couples the use of the fluorescently labelled AMP to the fluorescence quencher trypan blue. Trypan blue is excluded from the interior of intact cells and the fluorescence of the extracellular peptide or of the peptide bound on the bacterial surface can be quenched by it, while the fluorescence of the internalized peptide is not affected. The uptake of the peptide by the bacteria is determined by measuring the fluorescence in individual cells by flow cytometry.
