Metabolic reprogramming of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by phage-based quorum sensing modulation

Hanne Hendrix et al.

Summary: This study reveals the role of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) in bacterial virus infection. The virus LUZ19 targets the PQS system by expressing the quorum sensing targeting protein (Qst), which interacts with key enzymes in the PQS biosynthesis pathway. This interaction leads to a decrease in PQS levels and impairs the virus infection, but can be restored by external supplementation of a PQS precursor. Qst represents a potential tool for combating antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens.

Phages and their satellites encode hotspots of antiviral systems

Francois Rousset et al.

Summary: Bacteria have various genetic systems to defend against viral infection, including those within prophages. Phage satellites pose additional pressures on phages by hijacking viral elements. This study found that E. coli P2-like phages and their P4-like satellites carry genetic hotspots with anti-phage systems. These hotspots participate in inter-viral competition and shape dynamics between the bacterial host, P2-like phages, and P4-like satellites. Importantly, the anti-phage activity of satellites can benefit the helper phage during competition, turning a parasitic relationship into a mutualistic one.

Two defence systems eliminate plasmids from seventh pandemic Vibrio cholerae

Milena Jaskolska et al.

Summary: Horizontal gene transfer is a key driver of bacterial evolution, facilitated by mobile genetic elements such as plasmids and bacteriophages. This study identifies two conserved plasmid defence systems in Vibrio cholerae, responsible for the ongoing cholera pandemic. These systems rapidly eliminate small plasmids and defend against bacteriophage infection. Additionally, they increase the burden of large conjugative plasmids, leading to a fitness disadvantage for plasmid-carrying cells. These findings explain the rarity of plasmids in pandemic strains and have implications for understanding antibiotic resistance plasmid dissemination and the evolution of pandemic V. cholerae.

A dual-function phage regulator controls the response of cohabiting phage elements via regulation of the bacterial SOS response

Gil Azulay et al.

Summary: A study has identified AriS as a phage regulator in Listeria monocytogenes strain 10403S. AriS controls the induction of two phage elements in the chromosome, inhibiting their lytic induction under SOS conditions. The protein possesses two distinct activities, one regulating phage genes and the other downregulating the bacterial SOS response. The presence of a conserved domain in AriS-like proteins suggests that temperate phages acquired dual-function regulators to align their response with other phage elements.

Phage-host coevolution in natural populations

Damien Piel et al.

Summary: This study investigates the coevolution between bacteriophages and their bacterial hosts, revealing the changes in resistance and counter-resistance mechanisms. The research finds that the adaptation of phages to local hosts is influenced by their ability to infect closely related bacteria and strain-specific defenses. The study further demonstrates the role of genetic exchanges and mobile genetic elements in the evolution of bacterial defenses and phage counter-defenses.

Bacteriophages benefit from mobilizing pathogenicity islands encoding immune systems against competitors

Alfred Fillol-Salom et al.

Summary: This study discovers a important anti-phage system in bacteria called phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs), which can be disseminated intra-and inter-generically by helper phages and provide broad immunity. Results show that phages can mobilize PICI-encoded immunity systems to use them against other mobile genetic elements, which compete with the phages for the same bacterial hosts. This finding has significant implications for phages, bacteria, and horizontal gene transfer control.

Selfish, promiscuous and sometimes useful: how mobile genetic elements drive horizontal gene transfer in microbial populations

Matthieu Haudiquet et al.

Summary: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a driving force in microbial adaptation, but it is controlled by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) whose interests may not align with those of their hosts. The interactions between cells and MGEs, as well as between MGEs themselves, result in complex evolutionary processes that affect gene flow and microbial adaptation.

The Vibrio cholerae Seventh Pandemic Islands act in tandem to defend against a circulating phage

Brendan J. O'Hara et al.

Summary: This study isolated a circulating phage from a cholera patient stool sample and demonstrated that elements in both VSP-I and VSP-II inhibited the propagation of this phage in its native host, providing direct evidence for the role of these genomic islands in phage defense. Furthermore, the research showed that these defense systems are regulated by quorum sensing and are only active at certain cell densities.

Prophages encode phage-defense systems with cognate self-immunity

Sian Owen et al.

Summary: The research identified a family of prophage-encoded phage-defense proteins called BstA in diverse Gram-negative bacteria. BstA protein localizes to sites of exogenous phage DNA replication and mediates abortive infection to suppress competing phage epidemic. It allows prophages to defend host cells against exogenous phage attack without affecting lytic replication.

Pervasive prophage recombination occurs during evolution of spore-forming Bacilli

Anna Dragos et al.

Summary: Under a sporulation selection regime, recombination between SP beta and low copy number phi3Ts phage DNA in Bacillus subtilis leads to the formation of a new prophage and the release of virulent phage hybrids. These phages belong to a unique cluster of large phages inserted into sporulation-related genes, indicating diversification of SP beta-like phages in nature. This study sheds light on the eco-evolutionary relationships between bacteria and their phages by capturing the early stages of phage evolution.

The arbitrium system controls Prophage induction

Aisling Brady et al.

Summary: Some Bacillus-infecting bacteriophages utilize a peptide-based communication system, called arbitrium, to coordinate the lysis-lysogeny decision. AimR, a key player in this system, is involved in a complex network of regulation. The SP beta phage, possessing a functional arbitrium system, can optimize production of infective particles while preserving the number of surviving cells, which increases phage persistence in nature.

A phage satellite tunes inducing phage gene expression using a domesticated endonuclease to balance inhibition and virion hijacking

Zoe Netter et al.

Summary: Bacteria face constant threat of predation by bacterial viruses, and one particular bacterial virus satellite, PLE, has developed a specific defense mechanism against lytic phage ICP1. This defense involves molecular parasitism where PLE hijacks ICP1 processes. Through encoding a novel DNA binding protein, CapR, PLE is able to repress ICP1's capsid morphogenesis operon without hindering the overall ICP1 lifecycle. This delicate balance of satellite-mediated inhibition allows PLE to block phage production while successfully mobilizing in a phage-derived particle, showing a unique aspect of bacteriophage interactions.

Novel anti-repression mechanism of H-NS proteins by a phage protein

Fredj Ben Bdira et al.

Summary: H-NS family proteins play important roles in genome organization and regulation of foreign genes, with gene repression directly dependent on their DNA binding modes. The protein gp4 encoded by Pseudomonas lytic phage LUZ24 can specifically interfere with the formation and stability of the bridged MvaT-DNA complex, relieving gene silencing and adversely affecting P. aeruginosa growth. Controlling H-NS conformation may provide new ways to combat Pseudomonas multidrug resistance.

Temporal shifts in antibiotic resistance elements govern phage-pathogen conflicts

Kristen N. LeGault et al.

Summary: Through time-shift experiments, fluctuations in Vibrio cholerae's resistance to phages in clinical samples were discovered, with the identification of phage resistance determinants within SXT integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) that also confer antibiotic resistance. The study revealed that SXT ICEs, widespread in g-proteobacteria, encode phage defense systems linked to a single hotspot of genetic exchange, leading to the selection of a novel phage-encoded defense inhibitor and the concurrent dissemination of phage and antibiotic resistances through high-frequency SXT ICE conjugation stimulated by phage infection.

Degradation of host translational machinery drives tRNA acquisition in viruses

Joy Y. Yang et al.

Summary: Viruses under selective pressure to maintain compact genomes depend on host cell translational machinery for reproduction, but some encode abundant tRNA and other translation-related genes to optimize for codon usage differences between virus and host. Research shows that carrying 18 tRNAs may convey selective advantages to a T4-like Vibriophage, suggesting that the main driver behind phage tRNA acquisition is to sustain translation as host machinery degrades, resulting in a dynamically adapted codon usage strategy during infection.
