BackgroundThe pH‐sensitiveHelicobacter pyloriArsRS two‐component system (TCS) aids survival of this neutralophile in the gastric environment by directly sensing and responding to environmental acidity. ArsS is required for acid‐induced trafficking of urease and its accessory proteins to the inner membrane, allowing rapid, urea‐dependent cytoplasmic and periplasmic buffering. Expression of ArsR, but not its phosphorylation, is essential for bacterial viability. The aim of this study was to characterize the roles of ArsS and ArsR in the response ofH. pylorito acid.Materials and MethodsWild‐type H. pyloriand anarsR(D52N)phosphorylation‐deficient strain were incubated at acidic or neutral pH. Gene and protein expression, survival, membrane trafficking of urease proteins, urease activity, and internal pH were studied.ResultsPhosphorylation of ArsR is not required for acid survival. ArsS‐driven trafficking of urease proteins to the membrane in acid, required for recovery of internal pH, is independent of ArsR phosphorylation. ArsR phosphorylation increases expression of the urease gene cluster, and the loss of negative feedback in a phosphorylation‐deficient mutant leads to an increase in total urease activity.ConclusionsArsRS has a dual function in acid acclimation: regulation of urease trafficking to UreI at the cytoplasmic membrane, driven by ArsS, and regulation of urease gene cluster expression, driven by phosphorylation of ArsR. ArsS and ArsR work through phosphorylation‐dependent and phosphorylation‐independent regulatory mechanisms to impact acid acclimation and allow gastric colonization. Furthering understanding of the intricacies of acid acclimation will impact the future development of targeted, nonantibiotic treatment regimens.
