    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted an attention as important targets in the fields of biology and medical science because they contain physiologically active molecules. Curvature-sensing peptides are currently used as novel tools for marker-independent EV detection techniques. A structure-activity correlation study demonstrated that the α-helicity of the peptides is prominently involved in peptide binding to vesicles. However, whether a flexible structure changing from a random coil to an α-helix upon binding to vesicles or a restricted α-helical structure is an important factor in the detection of biogenic vesicles is still unclear. To address this issue, we compared the binding affinities of stapled and unstapled peptides for bacterial EVs with different surface polysaccharide chains. We found that unstapled peptides showed similar binding affinities for bacterial EVs regardless of surface polysaccharide chains, whereas stapled peptides showed substantially decreased binding affinities for bacterial EVs covered with capsular polysaccharides. This is probably because curvature-sensing peptides must pass through the layer of hydrophilic polysaccharide chains prior to binding to the hydrophobic membrane surface. While stapled peptides with restricted structures cannot easily pass through the layer of polysaccharide chains, unstapled peptides with flexible structures can easily approach the membrane surface. Therefore, we concluded that the structural flexibility of curvature-sensing peptides is a key factor for governing the highly sensitive detection of bacterial EVs.

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry various informative components, including signaling proteins, transcriptional regulators, lipids, and nucleic acids. These components are utilized for cell-cell communication between donor and recipient cells. EVs have shown great promise as pharmaceutical-targeting vesicles and have attracted the attention of researchers in the fields of biological and medical science because of their importance as diagnostic and prognostic markers. However, the isolation and purification of EVs from cell-cultured media remain challenging. Ultracentrifugation is the most widely used method, but it requires specialized and expensive equipment. In the present study, we proposed a novel methodology to isolate EVs using a simple and convenient method,

    Abstract Microfluidic tools are well suited for studying bacteria as they enable the analysis of small colonies or single cells. However, current techniques for studying bacterial response to antibiotics are largely limited to static dosing. Here, we describe a microfluidic device and a method for entrapping and cultivating bacteria in hydrogel plugs. Ring-shaped isolation valves are used to define the shape of the plugs and also to control exposure of the plugs to the surrounding medium. We demonstrate bacterial cultivation, determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration of an antibiotic, and transient dosing of an antibiotic at sub-1-h doses. The transient dosing experiments reveal that at dose durations on the order of minutes, ampicillin's bactericidal effect has both a time and concentration dependency.

    Abstract Bacteria secrete and utilize nanoparticles, called extracellular membrane vesicles (EMVs), for survival in their growing environments. Therefore, the amount and components of EMVs should be tuned in response to the environment. However, how bacteria regulate vesiculation in response to the extracellular environment remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified a putative sensor protein, HM1275, involved in the induction of vesicle production at high lysine concentration in a hypervesiculating Gram-negative bacterium,

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important targets in biological and medical studies because they are involved in diverse human diseases and bacterial pathogenesis. Although antibodies targeting the surface biomarkers are widely used to detect EVs, peptide-based curvature sensors are currently attracting an attention as a novel tool for marker-free EV detection techniques. We have previously created a curvature-sensing peptide, FAAV and applied it to develop a simple and rapid method for detection of bacterial EVs in cultured media. The method utilized the fluorescence/Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) phenomenon to achieve the high sensitivity to changes in the EV amount. In the present study, to develop a practical and easy-to-use approach that can detect bacterial EVs by peptides alone, we designed novel curvature-sensing peptides, N-terminus-substituted FAAV (nFAAV) peptides. The nFAAV peptides exerted higher α-helix-stabilizing effects than FAAV upon binding to vesicles while maintaining a random coil structure in aqueous solution. One of the nFAAV peptides showed a superior binding affinity for bacterial EVs and detected changes in the EV amount with 5-fold higher sensitivity than FAAV even in the presence of the EV-secretory bacterial cells. We named nFAAV5, which exhibited the high ability to detect bacterial EVs, as an EV-sensing peptide. Our finding is that the coil-α-helix structural transition of the nFAAV peptides serve as a key structural factor for highly sensitive detection of bacterial EVs.

    Abstract A hyper-vesiculating Gram-negative bacterium, Shewanella vesiculosa HM13, secretes a protein of unknown function (P49) as a major cargo of the extracellular membrane vesicles (EMVs). Here, we analyzed the transport mechanism of P49 to EMVs. The P49 gene is found in a gene cluster containing the genes encoding homologs of surface glycolipid biosynthesis proteins (Wza, WecA, LptA, and Wzx), components of type II secretion system (T2SS), glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GdpD), and nitroreductase (NfnB). We disrupted the genes in this cluster and analyzed the productivity and morphology of EMVs and the localization of P49. EMV production and morphology were only moderately affected by gene disruption, demonstrating that these gene products are not essential for EMV synthesis. In contrast, the localization of P49 was significantly affected by gene disruption. The lack of homologs of the T2SS components resulted in deficiency in secretion of P49. When gdpD, wzx, lptA, and nfnB were disrupted, P49 was released to the extracellular space without being loaded to the EMVs. These results suggest that P49 is translocated across the outer membrane through the T2SS-like machinery and subsequently loaded onto EMVs through interaction with surface glycolipids of EMVs.

    Abstract Extracellular membrane vesicles (EMVs) are biogenic secretory lipidic vesicles that play significant roles in intercellular communication related to human diseases and bacterial pathogenesis. They are being investigated for their possible use in diagnosis, vaccines, and biotechnology. However, the existing methods suffer from a number of issues. High-speed centrifugation, a widely used method to collect EMVs, may cause structural artifacts. Immunostaining methods require several steps and thus the separation and detection of EMVs from the secretory cells is time-consuming. Furthermore, detection of EMVs using these methods requires specific and costly antibodies. To tackle these problems, development of a simple and rapid detection method for the EMVs in the cultured medium without separation from the secretory cells is a pressing task. In this study, we focused on the Gram-negative bacterium Shewanella vesiculosa HM13, which produces a large amount of EMVs including a cargo protein with high purity, as a model. Curvature-sensing peptides were used for EMV-detection tools. FAAV, a peptide derived from sorting nexin protein 1, selectively binds to the EMVs even in the presence of the secretory cells in the complex cultured medium. FAAV can fully detect the EMVs within a few minutes, and the resistance of FAAV to proteases enables it to withstand prolonged use in the cultured medium. Fluorescence/Förster resonance energy transfer was used to develop a method to detect changes in the amount of the EMVs with high sensitivity. Overall, our results indicate the potential applicability of FAAV for in situ EMV detection in cultured media.
