The Azospirillum brasilense core chemotaxis proteins integrate chemotaxis signaling with nitrogen and carbon metabolic networks

Description

Chemotaxis is used by free-living motile bacteria to swim towards nutrient sources or away from repellents, and to navigate the environment to locate niches optimal for growth and survival. Multiple chemotaxis systems have been identified in different bacterial species, including Azospirillum brasilense. In A. brasilense, chemotaxis is mediated by two distinct chemotaxis pathways, named Che1 and Che4, that physically interact to form mixed chemotaxis signaling arrays. Signaling from the Che1 and Che4 pathways control transient increases in swimming speed and swimming reversals, respectively, during chemotaxis. In A. brasilense, chemotaxis is tightly linked to energy metabolism with this coupling occurring through the sensory input of several energy-sensing chemoreceptors and through the control of chemoreceptor activity by the c-di-GMP second messenger. Previous work has demonstrated that chemotaxis in A. brasilense also affects unrelated cellular functions including cell-to-cell clumping and flocculation. However, the molecular mechanism for these effects is not known. Here, we identify additional effects of mutations abolishing Che1 (cheA1 mutant), Che4 (cheA4 mutant) or both Che1 and Che4 (cheA1/cheA4 mutant) function on nitrogen and carbon metabolism and use whole cell proteome and metabolome mass spectrometry to further characterize the interplay between chemotaxis and metabolism. We found that CheA1 mediates most changes in chemoreceptor arrays composition and also affects small molecules signaling while a mutant lacking CheA4 displays changes in nitrogen metabolism, including nitrate assimilation and nitrogen fixation. In contrast, the mutant lacking both CheA1 and CheA4, which lacks chemotaxis and does not form chemotaxis signaling arrays, displays distinct and non-overlapping changes that suggest the assembly of chemotaxis signaling arrays modulates energy and carbon metabolism. Together, the results suggest distinct roles for CheA1, CheA4 and chemotaxis signaling arrays in modulating chemotaxis and metabolism, likely through control of distinct global regulatory networks.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
