Plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) are the primary virulence determinants of soft rotting bacteria such as the potato pathogen,Pectobacterium atrosepticum. Theregulation ofsecondarymetabolite (Rsm) system controls production of PCWDEs in response to changing nutrient conditions. This work identified a new suppressor of anrsmBmutation –ECA1172orrsmS(rsmBsuppressor). Mutants defective inrsmB(encoding a small regulatory RNA), show reduced elaboration of the quorum sensing molecule (N-3-oxohexanoyl-homoserine lactone; OHHL) and PCWDEs. However, OHHL and PCWDE production were partially restored in anrsmB, rsmSdouble mutant. SinglersmSmutants, overproduced PCWDEs and OHHL relative to wild typeP. atrosepticumand exhibited hypervirulence in potato. RsmS overproduction also resulted in increased PCWDEs and OHHL. Homology searches revealedrsmSconservation across pathogens such asEscherichia coli (ybaM),Dickeya solani, Klebsiella pneumoniaeandShigella flexneri. AnrsmSmutant ofPectobacterium carotovorumATCC39048 showed bypass ofrsmB-dependent repression of PCWDEs and OHHL production.P. carotovorumATCC39048 produces the β-lactam antibiotic, 1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid (a carbapenem). Production of the antibiotic was repressed in anrsmBmutant but partially restored in anrsmB, rsmSdouble mutant. This work highlights the importance of RsmS, as a conserved pleiotropic regulator of virulence and antibiotic biosynthesis.
