    Abstract Traffic of molecules across the bacterial membrane mainly relies on porins and transporters, whose expression must adapt to environmental conditions. To ensure bacterial fitness, synthesis and assembly of functional porins and transporters are regulated through a plethora of mechanisms. Among them, small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are known to be powerful post-transcriptional regulators. In

    Abstract RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is the gold standard for the discovery of small non-coding RNAs. Following a long-standing approach, reads shorter than 16 nucleotides (nt) are removed from the small RNA sequencing libraries or datasets. The serendipitous discovery of an eukaryotic 12 nt-long RNA species capable of modulating the microRNA from which they derive prompted us to challenge this dogma and, by expanding the window of RNA sizes down to 8 nt, to confirm the existence of functional very small RNAs (vsRNAs <16 nt).

    Abstract Pseudomonads play crucial roles in plant growth promotion and control of plant diseases. However, under natural conditions, other microorganisms competing for the same nutrient resources in the rhizosphere may exert negative control over their phytobeneficial characteristics. We assessed the expression of phytobeneficial genes involved in biocontrol, biostimulation and iron regulation such as, phlD, hcnA, acdS, and iron-small regulatory RNAs prrF1 and prrF2 in Pseudomonas brassicacearum co-cultivated with three phytopathogenic fungi, and two rhizobacteria in the presence or absence of Brassica napus, and in relation to iron availability. We found that the antifungal activity of P. brassicacearum depends mostly on the production of DAPG and not on HCN whose production is suppressed by fungi. We have also shown that the two-competing bacterial strains modulate the plant growth promotion activity of P. brassicacearum by modifying the expression of phlD, hcnA and acdS according to iron availability. Overall, it allows us to better understand the complexity of the multiple molecular dialogues that take place underground between microorganisms and between plants and its rhizosphere microbiota and to show that synergy in favour of phytobeneficial gene expression may exist between different bacterial species.

    Abstract Discovered in the 1980s, small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are now considered key actors in virtually all aspects of bacterial physiology and virulence. Together with transcriptional and translational regulatory proteins, they integrate and often are hubs of complex regulatory networks, responsible for bacterial response/adaptation to various perceived stimuli. The recent development of powerful RNA sequencing technologies has facilitated the identification and characterization of sRNAs (length, structure and expression conditions) and their RNA targets in several bacteria. Nevertheless, it could be very difficult for non-experts to understand the advantages and drawbacks related to each offered option and, consequently, to make an informed choice. Therefore, the main goal of this review is to provide a guide to navigate through the twists and turns of high-throughput RNA sequencing technologies, with a specific focus on those applied to the study of sRNAs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: RNA and gene control in bacteria edited by Dr. M. Guillier and F. Repoila.

    Abstract Metal such as iron, zinc, manganese, and nickel are essential elements for bacteria. These nutrients are required in crucial structural and catalytic roles in biological processes, including precursor biosynthesis, DNA replication, transcription, respiration, and oxidative stress responses. While essential, in excess these nutrients can also be toxic. The immune system leverages both of these facets, to limit bacterial proliferation and combat invaders. Metal binding immune proteins reduce the bioavailability of metals at the infection sites starving intruders, while immune cells intoxicate pathogens by providing metals in excess leading to enzyme mismetallation and/or reactive oxygen species generation. In this dynamic metal environment, maintaining metal homeostasis is a critical process that must be precisely coordinated. To achieve this, bacteria utilize diverse metal uptake and efflux systems controlled by metalloregulatory proteins. Recently, small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) have been revealed to be critical post-transcriptional regulators, working in conjunction with transcription factors to promote rapid adaptation and to fine-tune bacterial adaptation to metal abundance. In this mini review, we discuss the expanding role for sRNAs in iron homeostasis, but also in orchestrating adaptation to the availability of other metals like manganese and nickel. Furthermore, we describe the sRNA-mediated interdependency between metal homeostasis and oxidative stress responses, and how regulatory networks controlled by sRNAs contribute to survival and virulence.

    Abstract RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is the gold standard for the discovery of small non-coding RNAs. Following a long-standing approach, reads shorter than 16 nucleotides (nt) are removed from the small RNA sequencing libraries or datasets. The serendipitous discovery of an eukaryotic 12 nt-long RNA species capable of modulating the microRNA from which they derive prompted us to challenge this dogma and, by expanding the window of RNA sizes down to 8 nt, to confirm the existence of functional very small RNAs (vsRNAs <16 nt). Here we report the detailed profiling of vsRNAs in Escherichia coli, E. coli-derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and five other bacterial strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA7, P. aeruginosa PAO1, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 14028S, Legionella pneumophila JR32 Philadelphia-1 and Staphylococcus aureus HG001). vsRNAs of 8–15 nt in length [RNAs (8-15 nt)] were found to be more abundant than RNAs of 16–30 nt in length [RNAs (16–30 nt)]. vsRNA biotypes were distinct and varied within and across bacterial species and accounted for one third of reads identified in the 8–30 nt window. The tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have appeared as a major biotype among the vsRNAs, notably Ile-tRF and Ala-tRF, and were selectively loaded in OMVs. tRF-derived vsRNAs appear to be thermodynamically stable with at least 2 G-C basepairs and stem-loop structure. The analyzed tRF-derived vsRNAs are predicted to target several human host mRNAs with diverse functions. Bacterial vsRNAs and OMV-derived vsRNAs could be novel players likely modulating the intricate relationship between pathogens and their hosts.

    Abstract Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are alarmingly common, and treatment is confined to last-line antibiotics. Vancomycin is the treatment of choice for MRSA bacteremia, and treatment failure is often associated with vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus isolates. The regulatory 3' UTR of the vigR mRNA contributes to vancomycin tolerance and upregulates the autolysin IsaA. Using MS2-affinity purification coupled with RNA sequencing, we find that the vigR 3' UTR also regulates dapE, a succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase required for lysine and peptidoglycan synthesis, suggesting a broader role in controlling cell wall metabolism and vancomycin tolerance. Deletion of the 3' UTR increased virulence, while the isaA mutant is completely attenuated in a wax moth larvae model. Sequence and structural analyses of vigR indicated that the 3' UTR has expanded through the acquisition of Staphylococcus aureus repeat insertions that contribute sequence for the isaA interaction seed and may functionalize the 3' UTR.
