Journal articleLiu B, Shadrin A, Sheppard C, et al., 2014,
The sabotage of the bacterial transcription machinery by a small bacteriophage protein.
, Bacteriophage, Vol: 4, ISSN: 2159-7073Many bacteriophages produce small proteins that specifically interfere with the bacterial host transcription machinery and thus contribute to the acquisition of the bacterial cell by the bacteriophage. We recently described how a small protein, called P7, produced by the Xp10 bacteriophage inhibits bacterial transcription initiation by causing the dissociation of the promoter specificity sigma factor subunit from the host RNA polymerase holoenzyme. In this addendum to the original publication, we present the highlights of that research.

Journal articleHamilton ML, Franco E, Deák Z, et al., 2014,
Investigating the photoprotective role of cytochrome b-559 in photosystem II in a mutant with altered ligation of the haem
, Plant and Cell Physiology, Vol: 55, Pages: 1276-1285, ISSN: 0032-0781Despite many years of study, the physiological role of cytochrome b-559 (Cyt b-559) within the photosystem II (PSII) complex still remains unclear. Here we describe the analysis of a mutant of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in which the His ligand to the haem, provided by the alpha subunit, has been replaced by a Cys residue. The mutant is unable to grow photoautotrophically but can assemble oxygen-evolving PSII supercomplexes to 15-20% of the levels found in the wild-type control. Haem is still detected in the isolated PSII supercomplexes but at sub-stoichiometric levels consistent with weaker binding to the mutated cytochrome. Analysis of PSII activity in cells indicates slowed electron transfer in the mutant between plastoquinones QA and QB. We show that PSII activity in the mutant is more sensitive to chronic photoinhibition than the WT control because of two effects: a faster rate of damage and an impaired PSII repair cycle at the level of synthesis and/or incorporation of D1 into PSII. We also demonstrate that Cyt b-559 plays a role during the critical stage of assembling the Mn 4CaO5 cluster. Overall we conclude that Cyt b-559 optimises electron transfer on the acceptor side of PSII and plays physiologically important roles in the assembly, repair and maintenance of the complex. © 2014 The Author 2014.

An rhs Gene Linked to the Second Type VI Secretion Cluster Is a Feature of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain PA14
, Journal of Bacteriology, Vol: 196, Pages: 800-810, ISSN: 1098-5530The type VI secretion system (T6SS) of Gram-negative bacteria has been involved in various processes, notably bacterial competition and eukaryotic cell subversion. Most Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains possess three T6SS gene clusters, but only the function of the first T6SS (H1-T6SS) has been clearly elucidated. It is involved in the secretion of three toxins (Tse1 to -3) that target bacterial competitors. In the case of the H2- and H3-T6SS, no clear function has been assigned, and only one effector has been associated with these systems. Yet the H2-T6SS was proposed to promote P. aeruginosa internalization in nonphagocytic epithelial cells. Although the H2-T6SS genetic organization is conserved across P. aeruginosa isolates, one feature is the presence of an additional transcriptional unit in the PA14 strain H2-T6SS cluster, which is divergent from the core H2-T6SS genes. A specific set of four genes encodes an Hcp protein (Hcp2), a VgrG protein (VgrG14), an Rhs element (PA14_43100 or RhsP2), and a protein with no homologies with previously characterized proteins (PA14_43090). In this study, we engineered a P. aeruginosa PA14 strain carrying an arabinose-inducible H2-T6SS on the chromosome. We showed that arabinose induction readily promotes assembly of the H2-T6SS, as seen by monitoring Hcp2 secretion. We further studied the secretion fate of VgrG14 and RhsP2, but these were not detectable in the extracellular medium. We finally investigated whether activation of the PA14 H2-T6SS gene cluster could influence phenotypic traits such as internalization in eukaryotic cells, and we reported noteworthy differences compared to strain PAO1, which may be accounted for by the described genetic differences.
