T3SS

Introduction

Fig. 1^[1]

Type III Secretion System (T3SS) is a system of pathogenic gram-negative bacterium such as Salmonella, Yersinia and EPEC(entero pathogenic E. coli). Using this system bacteria can inject whole protein molecules through a syringe like organelle named Type 3 Secretion Apparatus (Fig. 1). The target of this system is a eukaryotic cell. Naturally it is used to inject Virulence effector proteins.

Structure of Type III secretion apparatus

Type III secretion apparatus have a syringe like structure (Fig. 1). It can be visible under electron microscope ^[1]. Its length is about 80 nm and the diameter of its needle channel is about 2 nm ^[2]. The length is about 1/10 and the diameter is about 1/400 of an E. coli cell’s minor axis.

How does it function?

Fig. 2^[1]

When the needle tip attaches to a target cell membrane, a translocator complex is assembled on the target cell membrane. Inside the bacterial cell, an effector protein which has a unique secretion signal domain on its N-terminal is recognized by the specific chaperone, and forms effector-chaperone complex. This complex is recognized by the T3-secretion-associated ATPase located at the base of the needle complex (Fig. 2 i). Then, the ATPase stripes the chaperone from the complex and unfolds the effector protein to pass through the channel of the needle complex (Fig. 2 ii). Finally, the translocated effector is refolded within the target cell to carry out its function (Fig. 2 iii)^[1].

Our achievements on iGEM 2010

Fig. 3

We made a T3SS test construct on pSB1T3 vector, and transformed it to the E. coli (K-12) carrying BAC vector "pBAC-SPI-2" that encodes a part of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 genome, which would express secretion apparatus (Fig. 3).

Secretion signal

It was reported that N-terminus 191 amino acid residues of SlrP (one of the natural effector protein of SPI-2 encoded T3SS) function as a T3 secretion signal domain in Salmonella^[3].

NLS (Nuclear Localization Signal)

In addition to the signal peptide, we located triple NLS (Nuclear Localization Signal) repeats between the T3 secretion signal and GFP, so that the injected GFP would be localized to the nucleus in the target cell.

RFP reporter

The RFP reporter gene constitutively produces RFP as an internal control that cannot be injected into target cells. This RFP would also play a role to distinguish GFP located in target cells from GFP remaining in bacterial cells under the fluorescence microscope.

Arabinose promoter

This [Secretion signal-NLS-GFP] fusion gene is under control of inducible arabinose promoter, this E. coli produces GFP only in the presence of arabinose.

Methods of Infection Assay

Fig. 4

We transferred E. coli [SPI-2/ T3 Signal-GFP, RFP] overnight LB culture to the neutral pH Mg²⁺ minimal medium (MgM pH=7.2) and cultured for 4 hours with arabinose to accumulate sufficient amount of GFP fusion protein (Fig. 4 i). Then the bacteria were transferred to acidic pH Mg²⁺ minimal medium (MgM pH=5.0) and cultured for 4 hours with arabinose to assemble T3 secretion apparatus^[4] (Fig. 4 ii). After that, bacteria were washed three times to remove contaminants that may detrimental for target cells (Fig. 4 iii). Since T3SS encoded in SPI-2 is known to be function inside of the phagosome of target cells^[5], the bacteria were exposed to the cells (RK13) under acidic pH condition (pH=5.0), which is considered to be similar to the environment inside of the phagosome.

Fig. 5

Under the acidic pH condition after the neutral pH, T3 secretion apparatus should be assembled (Fig. 5 i). First, translocator proteins are secreted through T3SS but effector proteins are not, because regulatory complex blocks the effectors at the base of the needle (Fig. 5 ii). However once the translocator complex assembled a pore on the target cell membrane the T3SS can sense the neutral pH condition of the cytosol (Fig. 5 iii) and this pH elevation removes the regulatory complex from the base of the needle (Fig. 5 iv) to start secretion of effectors. After exposure, the cells were incubated at 37C in 5.0% CO₂ and observed by fluorescent microscope.

Result and Discussion

Fig. 6

Cells were observed under Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (OLYMPUS FV-1000D) with blue (473 nm) or green (559 nm) excitation lights at 7.5 hours after exposure. In the presence of arabinose E. coli expresses GFP and RFP, so bacterial cells are yellow( (Fig. 6 A-4), while GFP injected into target eukaryotic cells are green. Comparing Fig. 6 A-1 and A-4, GFP is located in the cytosol of target eukaryotic cells.

GFP translocated into the target cell didn’t show localization in the nucleus even 7.5 hours after exposure. These observations suggested that NLS domain in the GFP fusion construct we designed did not function as expected. This year we focus on this result, we aim to redesign the fusion protein vector, and to characterize its performance.

-==Bacteria and cell culture condition==
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To perform the injection assay, we used LB medium (1.0% Bacto-Tryptone,  0.5% Bacto-yeast extract, 1.0% NaCl) and magnesium minimal medium (MgM) <sup>[[#References|[11]]]</sup> containing 170 mM MES-NaOH buffer(pH=5.0 or 7.2), 7.5 mM (NH<sub>4</sub>)2SO<sub>4</sub>, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM KH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>, 8 uM MgCl<sub>2</sub>, 38 mM glycerol and 0.1% casamino acids. We named these medium as MgM5(pH=5.0) and MgM7(pH=7.2). Also we used the acidic cell culture medium RPMI-10% FCS + HCl (pH 5.0) [RPMI5] and normal RPMI-10% FCS [RPMI7]. Bacteria were cultured at 37C with aeration and RK13 cells were cultured at 37C in 5.0% CO<sub>2</sub>. Appropriate antibiotics were added according to the resistance marker on each plasmid (25 ug/mL of chloramphenicol and 15 ug/mL of tetracycline). To induce GFP fusion protein L-arabinose was added to the medium at each step (final concentration = 0.4% ).

+We transferred ''E. coli'' [SPI-2/ T3 Signal-GFP, RFP] overnight LB culture to the neutral pH Mg<sup>2+</sup> minimal medium (MgM pH=7.2) and cultured for 4 hours with arabinose to accumulate sufficient amount of GFP fusion protein (Fig. 4 i). Then the bacteria were transferred to acidic pH Mg<sup>2+</sup> minimal medium (MgM pH=5.0) and cultured for 4 hours with arabinose to assemble T3 secretion apparatus<sup>[[#References|[4]]]</sup> (Fig. 4 ii). After that, bacteria were washed three times to remove contaminants that may detrimental for target cells (Fig. 4 iii). Since T3SS encoded in SPI-2 is known to be function inside of the phagosome of target cells<sup>[[#References|[5]]]</sup>, the bacteria were exposed to the cells (RK13) under acidic pH condition (pH=5.0), which is considered to be similar to the environment inside of the phagosome.
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As mentioned before the T3SS encoded in SPI-2 naturally function inside of the phagosome of the target cell <sup>[[#References|[8]]]</sup>. So, it requires acidic pH to be assembled functionally <sup>[[#References|[7]]]</sup>. However, if the T3 apparatus is assembled successfully under low pH(pH=5.0) condition, only the translocator proteins are secreted through T3SS but effector proteins are not. And it was reported in 2010 that the translocator complex assembles a pore on the phagosome membrane of the host cell enabling the T3SS to sense the neutral pH condition of the cytosol, and this pH elevation switches the function of the T3SS to start secretion of effectors (Fig.6) <sup>[[#References|[10]]]</sup>. In addition we found that initial growth in MgM7 before the growth in MgM5 improve the production of GFP fusion protein in ''E. coli'' (data not shown). So, 10 hrs before exposure we transferred ''E. coli'' [SPI-2+GFP-T3signal+RFP] overnight culture from LB + arabinose to MgM7 + arabinose and grow for 4 hrs to charge sufficient amount of GFP fusion protein. 5.5 hrs before exposure, bacteria were transferred to MgM5 + arabinose and grow for 4 hrs to assemble T3 secretion apparatus. 1 hr before exposure, bacteria were washed with RPMI5 three times to remove toxin secreted from ''E. coli''. Then it was resuspended diluted with RPMI5 + arabinmose (final ΔOD = 0.06 at 600 nm). On the other hand RK13 cells were seeded on 6-well plate (2x 10<sup5</sup> cells/well) in antibiotics free RPMI7 at 20 hrs before exposure to the ''E. coli''. When the preparation is completed cell culture medium was replaced with 1 mL of the ''E. coli'' suspension (ΔOD = 0.06 at 600 nm) and incubate at 37C in 5.0% CO<sub>2</sub> to mimic the environment inside of the phagosome. At the same time samples of  arabinose(-) ''E. coli''[SPI-2+GFP-T3signal+RFP] and ''E. coli''[SPI-2 only] were prepared for the control condition.
