Txc, a New Type II Secretion System of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain PA7, Is Regulated by the TtsS/TtsR Two-Component System and Directs Specific Secretion of the CbpE Chitin-Binding Protein

Abstract: We present here the functional characterization of a third complete type II secretion system (T2SS) found in newly sequenced Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PA7. We call this system Txc (third Xcp homolog). This system is encoded by the RGP69 region of genome plasticity found uniquely in strain PA7. In addition to the 11 txc genes, RGP69 contains two additional genes encoding a possible T2SS substrate and a predicted unorthodox sensor protein, TtsS (type II secretion sensor). We also identified a gene encoding a… Show more

“…A third T2SS has been identified in PA7, called Txc for third homolog for Xcp (Cadoret et al, 2014). A cluster of 14 genes, including 11 'core' genes (txcP to txcZ or PSPA7_1417 to PSPA7_1407), a secreted substrate (cbpE or PA7_1419) and a regulatory protein (ttsS or PSPA7_1420) have been identified in a region of genome plasticity (RGP69).…”

“…Pseudomonas aeruginosa , an opportunistic pathogen of major importance in cystic fibrosis patients, contains two distinct T2SS machineries (Ball et al, 2002; Jyot et al, 2011) and in certain strains even three (Cadoret et al, 2014);…”

“…However, in a cystic fibrosis context, colonizing strains modulate levels of expression of some of these virulence factors (Hauser et al , 2011), namely down‐regulation of the T3SS (Jain et al , 2004) and undergo a remarkable accumulation of pathoadaptive mutations (Marvig et al , 2014). The PA7‐related P. aeruginosa strains lack the 20‐Kb‐long genomic region encoding the T3SS core components and all genes encoding secreted effectors but contains several additional genomic islands and potential novel virulence factors (Pirnay et al , 2009; Roy et al , 2010; Cadoret et al , 2014; Freschi et al , 2015). In some of these strains, such as CLJ1, an exolysin secreted by a two‐partner secretion system is responsible for hypervirulence (Elsen et al , 2014).…”
