초록/요약

It was shown that C. elegans was killed by Salmonella enterica serovars through the persistent infection in the intestine. In this study, about 1,000 S. typhimurium mutants were constructed through random mutagenesis and fed into the nematodes in order to screen out mutants showing reduced pathogenicity to C. elegans. Among the mutants, the yhjK mutant killed less nematodes than its wild-type x3339. It is known that the yhjK gene encodes a phosphodiesterase and is categorized having GGDEF domain, but its role is unknown. 3D Structure of YhjK protein is predicted that it consists of guanylate cyclase and adenylate cyclase controlling cGMP and cAMP signal molecules, respectively. Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a global second messenger in bacteria metabolism of which is controlled by GGDEF and EAL domain proteins. These two-component domains were related to curli and cellulose production, which is required for biofilm formation. yhjK mutant showed lighter color and lesser rugose phenotype than the wild type in LBNS containing Congo Red agar plate, indicating the reduced capability of curli production in the former. mRNA expression level of curli production gene - C csgB, cellulose production - C adrA and global regulator csgD were decreased in yhjK mutant. In addition, SEM image showed reduced production of curli in mutant on silicon wafer. The growth speed of both strains was similar but the final cell concentration of the yhjk mutant was higher than that of the wild type. Analyses of gene expression showed that the expression of yhjK gene was the highest at late-log phase. The expression of virulence genes (hilA, invF and ssrB) in SPI 1 and SPI 2 were significantly reduced compared to the wild type. These SPI genes is known to be controlled by guanosine 5’-diphosphate-3’-diphosphate (ppGpp) playing a major role in mediating the environmental signals related to c-di-GMP. The yhjK mutant showed reduced ability in both invading to host cells and proliferating intracellularly in the macrophage than the wild type did. Conclusively, these results suggest that yhjK gene play important roles in the pathogenesis of S. typhimurium.

Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium이 C. elegans의 장에서 오랜 시간 감염을 일으킬 경우 죽음에까지 이르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 트랜스포존을 이용하여 임의로 돌변이를 유발, 약 1,000종의 S. typhimurium 돌연변이를 만들었고 이들을 꼬마선충에게 먹이로 제공하며 병원성이 줄어든 균주를 스크리닝하였다. 이 중 yhjK 유전자 돌연변이를 먹은 꼬마선충이 살모넬라 야생형의 경우보다 TD50에 이르는 시간이 늘어났음이 확인되었다. yhjK 유전자는 포스포디에스테라아제를 인코딩하고 있으며 GGDEF 도메인을 갖는 것으로 분류되고 있으나 그 역할은 아직 알려지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 YhjK 효소 단백질의 3D 구조로 구아닐산고리화효소와 아데닐산고리화효소 도메인을 갖고 있음이 예측되었고 이들은 신호를 전달하는데 관여하는 cGMP와 cAMP 분자들을 조절하는 역할을 한다. c-di-GMP는 GGDEF와 EAL 도메인에 의해 조절되며 박테리아 대사에서 포괄적인 이차전령물질이다. 이 두 도메인들은 바이오필름 형성에 필요한 curli와 셀룰로오즈 생성에 관여한다. Congo Red 지시약을 함유하는 LBNS 배지에서 살모넬라 야생형과 비교하였을 때, yhjK 돌연변이는 색이 더 연해지고 wrinkle form이 줄어든 것이 확인되었고 이는 curli의 생산이 줄어들었음을 의미한다. LB media에서 이들의 성장속도는 유사하지만 최종 박테리아의 밀도가 yhjK 돌연변이에서 더 증가하는 현상이 확인되었다. yhjK 유전자는 후기 로그기에서 발현량이 가장 많으며 이에 따라 yhjK 유전자가 없는 돌연변이에서 SPI1, SPI2 유전자인 hilA, invF, ssrB의 발현 량이 줄어듦이 확인되었다. 이들 SPI 유전자들은 c-di-GMP 분자들과 관련된 신호들을 중재하는 역할을 하는 ppGpp에 의해 조절된다. 마크로파아지 세포에 침입하는 능력과 그 내부에서 증식해 나가는 능력 모두 yhjK 돌연변이에서 줄어듦이 확인되었다. Curli와 셀롤로오즈 생성에 관여하는 adrA, csgD, csgB gene의 발현도 줄어들었으며 SEM 이미지를 통해 curli 생산이 줄어들었음을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 이 결과들은 yhjK 유전자가 숙주 내재 면역에 대해 병원성을 일으키는 데 중요한 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다.
