    Abstract ABSTRACTAnti-sigma factor antagonists SpoIIAA and RsbV from Bacillus subtilis are the archetypes for single-domain STAS proteins in bacteria. The structures and mechanisms of these proteins along with their cognate anti-sigma factors have been well studied. SpoIIAA and RsbV utilize a partner-switching mechanism to regulate gene expression through protein-protein interactions to control the activity of their downstream anti-sigma factor partners. The Vibrio fischeri STAS domain protein SypA is also proposed to employ a partner-switching mechanism with its partner SypE, a serine kinase/phosphatase that controls SypA’s phosphorylation state. However, this regulation appears opposite to the canonical pathway, with SypA being the more downstream component rather than SypE. Here we explore the commonalities and differences between SypA and the canonical single-domain STAS proteins SpoIIAA and RsbV. We use a combination of AlphaFold 2 structure predictions and computational modeling to investigate the SypA-SypE binding interface. We then test a subset of our predictions in V.fischeri by generating and expressing SypA variants. Our findings suggest that, while SypA shares many sequence and structural traits with anti-sigma factor antagonist STAS domain proteins, there are significant differences that may account for SypA’s distinct regulatory output.

    Abstract As our understanding of the human microbiome progresses, so does the need for natural experimental animal models that promote a mechanistic understanding of beneficial microorganism-host interactions. Years of research into the exclusive symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, and the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri have permitted a detailed understanding of those bacterial genes underlying signal exchange and rhythmic activities that result in a persistent, beneficial association, as well as glimpses into the evolution of symbiotic competence. Migrating from the ambient seawater to regions deep inside the light-emitting organ of the squid, V. fischeri experiences, recognizes and adjusts to the changing environmental conditions. Here, we review key advances over the past 15 years that are deepening our understanding of these events.

    Abstract Vibrio fischeri is a nonpathogenic organism related to pathogenic Vibrio species. The bacterium has been used as a model organism to study symbiosis in the context of its association with its host, the Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes. The genetic tractability of this bacterium has facilitated the mapping of pathways that mediate interactions between these organisms. The protocols included here describe methods for genetic manipulation of V. fischeri. Following these protocols, the researcher will be able to introduce linear DNA via transformation to make chromosomal mutations, to introduce plasmid DNA via conjugation and subsequently eliminate unstable plasmids, to eliminate antibiotic resistance cassettes from the chromosome, and to randomly or specifically mutagenize V. fischeri with transposons. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol 1: Transformation of V. fischeri with linear DNA Basic Protocol 2: Plasmid transfer into V. fischeri via conjugation Support Protocol 1: Removing FRT-flanked antibiotic resistance cassettes from the V. fischeri genome Support Protocol 2: Eliminating unstable plasmids from V. fischeri Alternate Protocol 1: Introduction of exogenous DNA using a suicide plasmid Alternate Protocol 2: Site-specific transposon insertion using a suicide plasmid Alternate Protocol 3: Random transposon mutagenesis using a suicide plasmid.

    Abstract The symbiont Vibrio fischeri uses motility to colonize its host. In numerous bacterial species, motility is negatively controlled by cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP), which is produced by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) with GGDEF domains and degraded by phosphodiesterases with either EAL or HD-GYP domains. To begin to decode the functions of the 50 Vibrio fischeri genes with GGDEF, EAL, and/or HD-GYP domains, we deleted each gene and assessed each mutant's migration through tryptone broth salt (TBS) soft agar medium containing or lacking magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca), which are known to influence V. fischeri motility. We identified 6, 13, and 16 mutants with altered migration in TBS-Mg, TBS, and TBS-Ca soft agar, respectively, a result that underscores the importance of medium conditions in assessing gene function. A biosensor-based assay revealed that Mg and Ca affected c-di-GMP levels negatively and positively, respectively; the severe decrease in c-di-GMP caused by Mg addition correlates with its strong positive impact on bacterial migration.

    Abstract The ninth American Society for Microbiology Conference on Biofilms was convened in-person on 13-17 November 2022 in Charlotte, NC. As the first of these conferences since prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy among the participants of the conference was clear, and the meeting was a tremendous success. The mixture of >330 oral and poster presentations resoundingly embodied the vitality of biofilm research across a wide range of topics and multiple scientific disciplines. Special activities, including a pre-conference symposium for early career researchers, further enhanced the attendee experience. As a general theme, the conference was deliberately structured to provide high levels of participation and engagement among early career scientists.
