Title	Fine-tuning regulation of (p)ppGpp-driven outer membrane vesicle formation in Acinetobacter baumannii
Description	While the roles of (p)ppGpp on cytosolic proteins are well established, its effects on membrane remodeling remain elusive. The translocation of signal recognition particle (SRP)-dependent proteins can be regulated by binding (p)ppGpp to two key GTPase components: FtsY, which interacts with SecYEG, and Ffh, a homolog of SRP54. A (p)ppGpp-specific Broccoli RNA aptamer and the chemometer PyDPA were used to measure the (p)ppGpp levels in the ΔrelA and ΔrelA/ΔspoT strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, confirming a stepwise reduction in (p)ppGpp levels: wild type > ΔrelA > ΔrelA/ΔspoT. The overproduction of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in the ΔrelA strain with intermediate (p)ppGpp levels contrasts with reduced production in the ΔrelA/ΔspoT strain, highlighting an unexpected non-linear relationship between OMV production and (p)ppGpp levels. Scanning- and transmission- electron microscope (SEM and TEM) analyses revealed intriguing (p)ppGpp-dependent effects on cell envelope integrity, as the relA mutant showed outer membrane disruption leading to OMV formation, while the relA/spoT mutant maintained an intact outer membrane, suggesting a correlation between (p)ppGpp levels and membrane stability. Western blotting and proteomics analyses revealed significant OmpA accumulation in the inner membrane of the ΔrelA/ΔspoT strain and SRP-dependent inner membrane proteins such as NuoB, NuoL, and TolA in the ΔrelA strain, indicating that (p)ppGpp levels are crucial for regulating membrane protein incorporation in A. baumannii. The regulation of (p)ppGpp levels using the CRISPRi system revealed that outer membrane disruption and OMV formation were most significant at intermediate (p)ppGpp concentrations, highlighting the importance of fine-tuning (p)ppGpp for the regulation of bacterial phenotypes.
