双组分反应调节因子 Rrp2 是控制莱姆病病原体伯氏疏螺旋体大量毒力因子产生的关键激活剂。之前的研究表明,Rrp2 体外激活不需要同源组氨酸激酶 HK2,针头接种后哺乳动物感染也不需要同源组氨酸激酶 HK2,这就提出了 HK2 在伯氏疏螺旋体的地方性动物流行周期中是否有任何作用的问题。在这项研究中,我们证明 HK2 并不是蜱载体中螺旋体存活所必需的。当给幼鼠喂食时,hk2突变体通过蜱虫叮咬途径的感染性降低,这表明缺乏HK2的螺旋体在地方性动物流行周期中处于劣势。此外,hk2的过度表达降低了Rrp2磷酸化水平,表明HK2可以作为磷酸酶使Rrp2去磷酸化。过度表达hk2的菌株损害了RpoN调节子的表达,其激活依赖于Rrp2磷酸化和激活,并降低了小鼠的感染性。综上所述,这些结果表明,尽管 HK2 在 Rrp2 激活中并不发挥重要作用,但它对于伯氏疏螺旋体在地方性动物流行周期中的最佳适应度很重要。
The two-component response regulator Rrp2 is a key activator controlling the production of numerous virulence factors of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease pathogen. Previously it was shown that the cognate histidine kinase HK2 is not required for Rrp2 activation in vitro, nor for mammalian infection upon needle inoculation, raising the question whether HK2 has any role in the enzootic cycle of B. burgdorferi. In this study, we demonstrated that HK2 is not required for spirochetal survival in the tick vector. When fed on naive mice, the hk2 mutant had reduced infectivity through the route of tick bite, suggesting that the spirochetes lacking HK2 had a disadvantage in the enzootic cycle. Furthermore, overexpression of hk2 reduced the level of Rrp2 phosphorylation, suggesting that HK2 can function as a phosphatase to dephosphorylate Rrp2. Strains overexpressing hk2 impaired the expression of RpoN regulon whose activation is dependent on Rrp2 phosphorylation and activation, and had reduced infectivity in mice. Taken together, these results demonstrate that although HK2 does not play an essential role in Rrp2 activation, it is important for the optimal fitness of B. burgdorferi in the enzootic cycle.
