dc.description.abstract | Invasion of intestinal epithelial cells is a critical step in
Salmonella
infection and requires the expression of genes located in
Salmonella
pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1). A key factor for SPI-1 expression is DNA adenine (Dam) methylation, which
activates synthesis of the SPI-1 transcriptional activator HilD. Dam-dependent regulation of
hilD
is postranscriptional (and
therefore indirect), indicating the involvement of unknown cell functions under Dam methylation control. A genetic screen
has identified the
std
fimbrial operon as the missing link between Dam methylation and SPI-1. We show that all genes in the
std
operon are part of a single transcriptional unit, and describe three previously uncharacterized ORFs (renamed
stdD
,
stdE
,
and
stdF
). We present evidence that two such loci (
stdE
and
stdF
) are involved in Dam-dependent control of
Salmonella
SPI-
1: in a Dam
2
background, deletion of
stdE
or
stdF
suppresses SPI-1 repression; in a Dam
+
background, constitutive
expression of StdE and/or StdF represses SPI-1. Repression of SPI-1 by products of
std
operon explains the invasion defect of
Salmonella
Dam
2
mutants, which constitutively express the
std
operon. Dam-dependent repression of
std
in the ileum may
be required to permit invasion, as indicated by two observations: constitutive expression of StdE and StdF reduces invasion
of epithelial cells
in vitro
(1,000 fold) and attenuates
Salmonella
virulence in the mouse model (
.
60 fold). In turn, crosstalk
between
std
and SPI-1 may play a role in intestinal infections by preventing expression of SPI-1 in the caecum, an intestinal
compartment in which the
std
operon is known to be expressed. | es |
