A Nitrate-Sensing Domain-Containing Chemoreceptor Is Required for Successful Entry and Virulence of Dickeya dadantii 3937 in Potato Plants

Clara Galvez-Roldan et al.

Summary: Nitrate metabolism is important in bacterial physiology. The nitrate- and nitrite-sensing (NIT) domain-containing chemoreceptor of Dickeya dadantii 3937 (Dd3937) plays a key role in plant pathogenic bacteria's entry and infection success. Nitrate perception not only affects the expression of nitrate reductase genes but also controls the expression of virulence determinants in Dd3937.

Bacterial chemotaxis in human diseases

Bibi Zhou et al.

Summary: To cause disease, bacteria must localize to specific regions of the host where they can survive. Flagellated pathogens control their localization through chemotaxis based on sensing nutrients, toxins, and cues within the host. This review explores the role of chemotaxis in human diseases, including pathogen colonization, accessing host-derived nutrients, and potential therapeutic strategies for eradicating pathogens.

Microbial antibiotics take the lead in the fight against plant pathogens

Amalia Roca et al.

Summary: The plant microbiome plays a crucial role in plant fitness and health, as antibiotics produced by plant-associated bacteria protect plants against phytopathogens. This article highlights the biotechnological potential of antibiotic-producing plant-associated bacteria as biocontrol agents and the heterologous expression of antibiotic biosynthetic gene clusters in non-pathogenic plant-associated bacteria. It also provides a list of approved or pending approval active substances in the European Union, indicating the significant emergence and biotechnological applicability of biopesticides. Progress in this research field will contribute to the development of novel biopesticides for agricultural pest control.

Three unrelated chemoreceptors provide Pectobacterium atrosepticum with a broad-spectrum amino acid sensing capability

Felix Velando et al.

Summary: Amino acids are important nutrients and function as signals for signal transduction pathways. Different bacteria use different chemoreceptors to recognize and navigate amino acid gradients. In this study, we found that the phytobacterium Pectobacterium atrosepticum uses three non-homologous chemoreceptors to detect multiple proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic amino acids.

Accessing nutrients as the primary benefit arising from chemotaxis

Miguel A. Matilla et al.

Summary: About half of bacterial species undergo chemotaxis to find optimal environments for growth and survival. The motility apparatus and chemotaxis signaling pathway impose a significant energy and metabolic burden on the cell. Bacterial chemoreceptors can recognize various chemoeffectors, including hormones, neurotransmitters, quorum-sensing molecules, and inorganic ions, but most chemoeffectors seem to be related to metabolism. This review emphasizes the importance of accessing nutrients as the main driving force behind the evolution of chemotaxis.

A bacterial chemoreceptor that mediates chemotaxis to two different plant hormones

Miriam Rico-Jimenez et al.

Summary: In this study, we found that a plant-associated pseudomonas putida strain, which metabolizes IAA, exhibits chemotaxis to IAA independently of auxin metabolism. We discovered that this IAA chemotaxis is mediated by the PcpI chemoreceptor and heterologous expression of pcpI confers IAA taxis to other environmental and human pathogenic isolates of the pseudomonas genus. Our findings suggest that PcpI recognizes and mediates chemoattractions to various aromatic compounds, including salicylic acid, and expands the range of signal molecules recognized by chemoreceptors.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato infection of tomato plants is mediated by GABA and l-Pro chemoperception

Saray Santamaria-Hernando et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the perception of GABA and l-Pro by the PsPto-PscC chemoreceptor drives the entry of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato into the tomato apoplast. The recognition of these compounds leads to chemoattraction and is involved in the regulation of GABA catabolism. Mutation of the PsPto-PscC chemoreceptor reduces chemotactic response, impairing entry and reducing virulence in tomato plants. Interestingly, GABA and l-Pro levels increase upon pathogen infection and are involved in the regulation of the plant defense response.

Diverse Sensory Repertoire of Paralogous Chemoreceptors Tlp2, Tlp3, and Tlp4 in Campylobacter jejuni

Taha et al.

Summary: In this study, the receptor-ligand interactions of a unique paralogue family of chemoreceptors, Tlp2, Tlp3, and Tlp4, in Campylobacter jejuni were described. These chemoreceptors may have arisen through domain duplications, with Tlp3 emerging more recently and responding to glycans. The diversity in sensory repertoire could provide C. jejuni with the ability to modulate responses to attractant and repellent signals and allow adaptation in host-pathogen interactions.

A catalogue of signal molecules that interact with sensor kinases, chemoreceptors and transcriptional regulators

Miguel A. Matilla et al.

Summary: Bacteria have developed various signal transduction systems to sense and respond to signals, with transcriptional regulators, sensor histidine kinases, and chemoreceptors being the most prevalent. These systems use ligand-binding domains (LBDs) to recognize signal molecules and modulate the activity of the output module. By manually retrieving information from publications and 3D structures, the authors classified 811 proteins, revealing the signal profiles and distinguishing between families with promiscuous signal recognition and those with well-defined ligand ranges. This signal repertoire will aid in identifying signaling molecules for uncharacterised sensor proteins.
