Pseudomonas aeruginosa reference strains PAO1 and PA14: A genomic, phenotypic, and therapeutic review

Amber Grace, Rajnish Sahu, Donald R. R. Owen, Vida A. A. Dennis

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen that has been identified as a multi-drug resistant strain. PAO1 and PA14, two laboratory strains, have contributed significantly to our understanding of the bacterium. However, there are discrepancies between their behaviors and therapeutic susceptibilities observed in human infections. This review aims to compare the two strains and propose methods to improve their clinical relevance.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa H3-T6SS Combats H2O2 Stress by Diminishing the Amount of Intracellular Unincorporated Iron in a Dps-Dependent Manner and Inhibiting the Synthesis of PQS

Jinshui Lin, Jianshe Yang, Juanli Cheng, Weipeng Zhang, Xu Yang, Wei Ding, Heng Zhang, Yao Wang, Xihui Shen

Summary: In this study, it was found that the synthesis of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) was inhibited by the H3-T6SS gene cluster under iron-rich conditions, and that this inhibition was relieved under iron starvation conditions. The H3-T6SS was involved in the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and its expression was positively regulated by RpoS.

Acetylation of amines and alcohols catalyzed by acetylcholinesterase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Hisashi Inoue, Teruyuki Tachibana, Tomohiro Bito, Jiro Arima

Summary: In this study, the acetylation reactions of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were examined using different substrates. AChE was found to recognize ethyl acetate, diaminoalkanes, and aminoalcohols, leading to their acetylated products. The preference of AChE for acetyl donor and acceptor varied with pH, with ethyl acetate being preferred at alkaline pH and acetylcholine being preferred at acidic pH. Additionally, acetylated 6-amino-1-hexanol was decomposed by AChE.

Effect of Cyclodextrins on the Biofilm Formation Capacity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

Zsofia Berkl, Ildiko Fekete-Kertesz, Kata Buda, Emese Vaszita, Eva Fenyvesi, Lajos Szente, Monika Molnar

Summary: Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process in microorganisms that coordinates their activities through producing and detecting low-molecular-weight signal molecules. Cyclodextrins (CDs) can reduce signal communication and inhibit biofilm formation in pathogenic bacteria. The size, structure, and concentration of CDs are identified as key factors influencing biofilm formation. Alpha-CD and its random methylated and polymer derivatives demonstrate outstanding inhibitory efficiency.

VgrG-dependent effectors and chaperones modulate the assembly of the type VI secretion system

Xiaoye Liang, Tong-Tong Pei, Hao Li, Hao-Yu Zheng, Han Luo, Yang Cui, Ming-Xuan Tang, Ya-Jie Zhao, Ping Xu, Tao Dong

Summary: The study on Aeromonas dhakensis strain SSU reveals that the specificity of effectors is dictated by the VgrG tail, and deletion of effector-specific chaperones severely impairs T6SS secretion. The research also shows that chimeric VgrG-effector pairs can bypass the requirement of heterologous VgrG complex and effector-stuffing inside the baseplate complex is crucial for T6SS assembly.

A Dueling-Competent Signal-Sensing Module Guides Precise Delivery of Cargo Proteins into Target Cells by Engineered Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Li-Li Wu, Shuangquan Yan, Tong-Tong Pei, Ming-Xuan Tang, Hao Li, Xiaoye Liang, Shuyang Sun, Tao Dong

Summary: We have developed a highly selective protein delivery platform, DUEC, which responds to direct contact of attacking cells by engineering the tit-for-tat/dueling response of H1-T6SS in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By screening H1-T6SS-secreted substrates, we have created Tse6N as an effective secretion tag for delivering Cre. DUEC cells can selectively deliver the Tse6N-Cre cargo into T6SS+ but not T6SS- Vibrio cholerae cells, and can also deliver a nuclease cargo to selectively kill provoking cells in a mixed community.
