Dataset Summary
TitleThe two component system BfmRS controls siderophore production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
DescriptionPseudomonas aeruginosa is a common nosocomial pathogen which produces siderophores to solubilize and transport chelated Fe3+ to aid its survival in both the environment and the host. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying siderophore synthesis, uptake, and regulation within various ecological niches. In this study, we demonstrated that the BfmRS two-component system, part of the core genome of P. aeruginosa, plays a crucial role in siderophore metabolism. We have identified BfmS as an osmosensing histidine kinase that responds to external osmolytes, then modulates the activation of the response regulator BfmR. Under high osmolality, BfmR could directly bind to the promoters of pvd, fpv, and femARI gene clusters, thereby enhancing their expression and promoting siderophore metabolism. The proteomic and phenotypic analyses confirmed that deletion of bfmRS results in reduced expression levels of siderophore-related proteins as well as siderophore production. Importantly, loss of bfmR or bfmS significantly impaired bacterial survival in both iron deficiency medium and mouse lung infection models. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis revealed that BfmRS is highly conserved and widely distributed across Pseudomonas species, evidences also proved that the BfmR of P. putida KT2440 and P. sp. MRSN12121 activated siderophore genes in response to high osmolality. Overall, this study sheds light on the previously unexplored signal transduction pathway, BfmRS, which governs the siderophore regulation in Pseudomonas species through perceiving an osmotic upshift. Considering that siderophores serve as unique social mediators, our findings contribute to a better understanding of how siderophores facilitate bacterial interactions with their eukaryotic hosts and contribute to the establishment of stable communities.
