FeoC from Klebsiella pneumoniae uses its iron sulfur cluster to regulate the GTPase activity of the ferrous iron channel

Kuang-Lung Hsueh et al.

Summary: Bacteria rely on the Feo system for the uptake of ferrous iron, and the presence of the FeoC cofactor [4Fe-4S] has been found to enhance the GTPase activity of FeoB. In this study, the researchers monitored the GTPase activity of FeoB in the presence of FeoC-[4Fe4S]3+, and found that it increased the GTPase rate of NFeoB. Furthermore, they identified specific amino acids on FeoC and NFeoB that contribute to the GTPase activity. The researchers propose that bacteria may use the oxygen-sensitive cluster as a sensor to regulate the closing speed of the gate.

The Role of Integration Host Factor in Escherichia coli Persister Formation

Samantha E. Nicolau et al.

Summary: Persisters are cells tolerant of antibiotics that contribute to antibiotic resistance in chronic infections. Noise in expression of the global regulator IHF leads to rare cells with low Icd/high AceA, resulting in decreased ATP and the formation of antibiotic-tolerant persisters. Overexpression of the lac operon quenches noise and reduces persister formation.

DsrA Modulates Central Carbon Metabolism and Redox Balance by Directly Repressing pflB Expression in Salmonella Typhimurium

Rui Dong et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel target (pflB) of small RNA DsrA and demonstrated its regulatory mechanism in S. Typhimurium. The interaction between DsrA and pflB mRNA could greatly contribute to the regulation of central carbon metabolism and intracellular redox balance in S. Typhimurium.

Targeted suppression of human IBD-associated gut microbiota commensals by phage consortia for treatment of intestinal inflammation

Sara Federici et al.

Summary: A clade of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains has been found to be strongly associated with exacerbation and severity of inflammatory bowel diseases. By generating a lytic five-phage combination targeting these strains, effective suppression of the bacteria and attenuation of inflammation can be achieved.

Conjuring up a ghost: structural and functional characterization of FhuF, a ferric siderophore reductase from E. coli

I. B. Trindade et al.

Summary: Iron is crucial for all forms of life, and microbes utilize siderophores to scavenge iron. FhuF, the first and only isolated FSR protein, shares similarities with SIP proteins in binding to ferrichrome and exhibiting a redox-Bohr effect. Despite structural differences, mechanistic similarities exist between FSR and SIP proteins.

SdiA, a Quorum-Sensing Regulator, Suppresses Fimbriae Expression, Biofilm Formation, and Quorum-Sensing Signaling Molecules Production in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Thaisy Pacheco et al.

Summary: The study characterizes a sdiA mutant strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, revealing increased biofilm formation and altered cell division and fimbriae expression. The findings demonstrate that SdiA plays a role in regulating cell division, virulence factor expression, biofilm formation, and production of quorum sensing autoinducers in K. pneumoniae.
