土拉热弗朗西斯菌(Francisella tularensis,Ft)是已知的最具感染性的病原体之一。Ft毒力受转录调节因子的独特组合控制:MglA-SspA异源二聚体PigR和应激信号ppGpp。MglA-SspA与σ70相关的RNAP全酶(RNAPσ70)组装,形成毒力特异性聚合酶。这些因子激活弗朗西斯菌致病岛(FPI)基因表达,这是毒力所必需的,但机制尚不清楚。本文报道了FtRNAPσ70-promoter-DNA、FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-promoter-DNA和FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-ppGpp-PigR-promoter-DNA的冷冻电镜结构。结构和遗传分析表明,MglA-SspA促进σ70与DNA结合以调节毒力和毒力增强基因。我们的大肠杆菌RNAPσ70-同源二聚体EcSspA结构表明这是一个通用的SspA转录调控机制。引人注目的是,我们的FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-ppGpp-PigR-DNA结构揭示了ppGpp与MglA-SspA的结合将PigR拴系到启动子。PigR又将FtRNAP α CTD募集到DNA UP元件。因此,这些研究揭示了Ft致病的独特机制,涉及毒力特异性RNAP,其采用两种基于(MglA-SspA)的策略来激活毒力基因。
The bacterium, Francisella tularensis (Ft), is one of the most infectious agents known. Ft virulence is controlled by a unique combination of transcription regulators: the MglA-SspA heterodimer, PigR, and the stress signal, ppGpp. MglA-SspA assembles with the σ70-associated RNAP holoenzyme (RNAPσ70), forming a virulence-specialized polymerase. These factors activate Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI) gene expression, which is required for virulence, but the mechanism is unknown. Here we report FtRNAPσ70-promoter-DNA, FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-promoter-DNA and FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-ppGpp-PigR-promoter-DNA cryo-EM structures. Structural and genetic analyses show MglA-SspA facilitates σ70 binding to DNA to regulate virulence and virulence-enhancing genes. Our Escherichia coli RNAPσ70-homodimeric EcSspA structure suggests this is a general SspA-transcription regulation mechanism. Strikingly, our FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-ppGpp-PigR-DNA structure reveals ppGpp binding to MglA-SspA tethers PigR to promoters. PigR in turn recruits FtRNAP αCTDs to DNA UP elements. Thus, these studies unveil a unique mechanism for Ft pathogenesis involving a virulence-specialized RNAP that employs two (MglA-SspA)-based strategies to activate virulence genes.
