The stringent response is a rapid response system found in bacteria that enables them to sense and adapt to changes in the external environment. The regulators (p)ppGpp and DksA play complex roles in gene regulation, affecting various cellular functions such as motility, antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and metabolic processes. Through gene expression analysis, this study provides insights into the regulatory networks controlled by (p)ppGpp and DksA, shedding light on their involvement in ribosomal synthesis, energy metabolism, amino acid transport and synthesis, as well as chemotaxis in Y. enterocolitica.
The stringent response is a rapid response system that is ubiquitous in bacteria, allowing them to sense changes in the external environment and undergo extensive physiological transformations. However, the regulators (p)ppGpp and DksA have extensive and complex regulatory patterns. Our previous studies demonstrated that (p)ppGpp and DksA in Yersinia enterocolitica positively co-regulated motility, antibiotic resistance, and environmental tolerance but had opposite roles in biofilm formation. To reveal the cellular functions regulated by (p)ppGpp and DksA comprehensively, the gene expression profiles of wild-type, Delta relA, Delta relA Delta spoT, and Delta dksA Delta relA Delta spoT strains were compared using RNA-Seq. Results showed that (p)ppGpp and DksA repressed the expression of ribosomal synthesis genes and enhanced the expression of genes involved in intracellular energy and material metabolism, amino acid transport and synthesis, flagella formation, and the phosphate transfer system. Additionally, (p)ppGpp and DksA inhibited amino acid utilization (such as arginine and cystine) and chemotaxis in Y. enterocolitica. Overall, the results of this study unraveled the link between (p)ppGpp and DksA in the metabolic networks, amino acid utilization, and chemotaxis in Y. enterocolitica and enhanced the understanding of stringent responses in Enterobacteriaceae.
