注: 所有步骤均在室温下执行, 除非另有说明。
1. 植物材料的制备 (4 周)
<ol><li>为benthamiana工厂准备<ol>
<li>在每个花盆的土面上播种benthamiana的2种子, 用塑料圆顶覆盖托盘, 并允许种子在25摄氏度、60% 湿度生长室中发芽, 其温度为16/8 小时/暗光周期。</li>
		<li>两周后, 挑选出并丢弃每壶中最小的幼苗, 并继续种植在相同的生长条件下, 在1.1.1 发芽的应用。每两天增加1升的水每托盘。 注意: 植物的生长条件可能在实验室中有所不同。因此, 遵循常规浇水协议, 种植植物在一个健康的条件。</li>
		<li>在一周内, 将植物转移到一个新的托盘, 并安排他们有足够的空间, 以进一步增长。在步骤1.1.1 中描述的条件下, 保持植物的生长, 直到它们准备在4周的年龄内渗入。 注: 植物生长可能会因不同实验室的生长情况而异。通常, 我们发现, 4 周大的benthamiana植物大约有六叶。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>对南芥转基因植物的制备<ol>
<li>请参阅材料表并订购转基因的拟南芥种子。</li>
		<li>在1毫升蒸馏水中浸泡 ~ 50-100 转基因的拟南芥种子, 并将它们贮存在4摄氏度, 在黑暗中保存3天, 以同步发芽的开始。</li>
		<li>在插头厂托盘的土壤表面播种 2-3 种子, 用塑料圆顶盖上托盘。允许种子发芽23摄氏度, 60% 湿度, 10/14 小时光/暗周期。 注: 种子应纯合体。然而, 我们建议重申的存在, 转基因在批。在这种情况下, 用70% 乙醇洗涤种子, 2 分钟, 50% 漂白剂 (约2% 次氯酸盐), 含 0.05% X-100 的5分钟. 跟随通过洗涤 5-6 次以无菌双重蒸馏水 (ddH2O)。灭菌后, 分层在4摄氏度3天, 并将其印在植物萌发培养基上, 含潮霉素 B 的25µg/升, 以选择转基因植物。</li>
		<li>一周后, 每个插头只留一株植物, 并继续生长在相同的生长条件下, 用于步1.2.3 的植物。 注: 四周大的植物用于野火感染。水植物每隔一天保持植物的健康。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
</ol>2. 准备假单胞菌文化 (~ 1 周)
<ol><li>铜绿假单胞菌转化质粒的构建<ol>
<li>请参阅材料表, 并订购 T3SS-based 效应传递系统向量25所需的向量。</li>
		<li>使用站点特定的重组克隆25将感兴趣的效应基因插入效应传递向量中。 注: 在监测全长效应蛋白的亚细胞定位时, 将全长基因 pBK-GW-1-2 或 pBG-GW-1-2。还可以选择含有 2x sfGFP11 的 pBK-GW-1-4 或 pBG-GW-1-4, 以增加荧光信号。对于缺乏信号肽的部分效应器, 使用 pBK-GW-2-2 或 pBK-GW-2-4。有关效应传递向量25的详细信息, 请参阅公园et .。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
	<li>将带有效应器的质粒转换为野火pv, 并将其与 sfGFP11 标记融合在一起。西红柿(Pst)CUCPB5500 使用标准电穿孔29。 注意: 如果需要, 可以使用其他铜绿假单胞菌。sfGFP11 标记系统是为范围很广的向量30构造的, 并且该效应器的基因表达式由 AvrRpm1 启动子来调节, 它与如假单胞菌荧光(伊桑)31之间的比较。</li>
	<li>将转化后的细菌细胞轻轻地散布在含有100µg/毫升利福平和25µg/毫升卡那霉素或25µg/毫升庆大霉素的王 B 琼脂板表面。孵育28°c 2 天。</li>
	<li>接种一个殖民地入国王的 B 液体媒介以适当为载体使用的抗生素, 并且在28°c 隔夜生长细胞与震动在200转每分钟。</li>
	<li>做甘油的存货。将蒸压甘油添加到最终浓度为 50%, 并贮存在-80 摄氏度。</li>
</ol>3. 在benthamiana (4 天) 中, 以细胞器为目标的 sfGFP1-10选择的瞬时表达式
<ol><li>农杆菌区域性的制备<ol>
<li>订购所需的细胞器目标 sfGFP1-10 可选质粒 (参见材料表)。</li>
		<li>将质粒转换成根癌农杆菌应变 GV3101 细胞32。在 Luria-Bertani (磅) 琼脂培养基上生长细胞, 辅以50µg/毫升卡那霉素和50µg/毫升利福平28摄氏度, 2 天。</li>
		<li>从单一菌落的 LB 琼脂培养基, 接种细胞成5毫升的液体 LB 培养基补充50µg/毫升卡那霉素和50µg/毫升利福平。在28摄氏度的时候以200转每分钟的抖动来生长细胞。</li>
		<li>以 3000 x g 为10分钟, 以离心的方法收割细胞, 然后从上清介质中并用重悬, 并在1毫升的新入渗缓冲液中注入颗粒。</li>
		<li>通过获取 600 nm (Abs 600 nm) 的吸收光密度 (OD) 值来测量农杆菌的数量。将细菌的 OD600调整为 0.5, 并使用浸润缓冲。 注: 1 毫升的悬浮液足以渗入两个斑点。</li>
		<li>在 1-5 小时的渗透前, 在室温下将培养基留在一个柔和的摇杆上。</li>
		<li>把一个洞戳进叶子的中心, 然后用10µL 的尖端渗入。使用1毫升无针注射器渗入农杆菌悬浮液。仔细和缓慢地注入约500µL 的悬浮液准备从步骤3.1.5 到叶正面通过注射器。重复对至少三种不同植物的渗透实验复制。 注意: 出于健康和安全的原因, 在渗透过程中应佩戴眼部防护。</li>
		<li>擦掉叶子上残留的细菌悬浮液, 标记浸润区域的边界。</li>
		<li>保持渗透植物在相同的生长条件下, 用于步骤 1.1.1 2 天。</li>
	</ol>
</li>
</ol>4. 接种假单胞菌(4 天)
<ol><li>将从步骤2.5 中的甘油库存中的已转换的铜绿假单胞菌与相应的抗生素在28摄氏度处连续2天进行条纹。 注意:铜绿假单胞菌的健康非常关键。如果殖民地不形成好, 再次条纹细胞或传播的细胞在国王的液体媒体之前, 继续进行。</li>
	<li>在28摄氏度的甘露醇-谷氨酸 (MG) 液体介质中接种一 loopful 的铜绿假单胞菌细胞, 一夜之间以200转每分钟的抖动。</li>
	<li>以 3000 x g 为10分钟, 以离心的方法收割细胞. 倒入上清介质, 在10毫米氯化镁2中并用重悬颗粒, 并将 N . benthamiana 叶和 1 (10 x7 0.002) 的OD 600 调整为 0.02 (1 x10 6 cfu/毫升);cfu/mL) 为拟南芥留下.
</li>
	<li>对于benthamiana, 将铜绿假单胞内的悬浮液渗透到叶子的区域, 其中农杆菌携带 sfGFP1-10选择构造被渗透2天前 (如步骤 3.1.7)。对于 sfGFP1-10选择转基因拟南芥, 将假单胞菌的悬浮液渗透到两个4周长的短日生长的叶子中。 注意: 实验复制需要至少三株植物。</li>
</ol>5. 通过共聚焦显微镜观察 sfGFP 信号 (1 天)
<ol><li>从假单胞菌接种的叶子中剪下叶盘。在铜绿假单渗入后的特定时间点, 图像两个2厘米2叶盘从单一植物使用激光扫描共焦系统与 40 x/1.2 NA c 复消色差水浸泡目标或 63 x/0.8 na c-复消色差油浸泡目的。为了避免被伤致死的细胞, 观察细胞远离浸润孔。</li>
	<li>开始观察在低功率设置的 488 nm 氩激光。增加激光功率以检测 sfGFP。 注: 我们通常使用 2-15% 的激光强度来检测荧光信号。但是, 激光功率和检测设置应根据用户的显微系统进行调整。在这里, 发射过滤器被设置为 520-550 nm。死细胞通常在488纳米激光激发下发出自动荧光。因此, 作为一个负控制, 在相同的观测条件下, 没有 sfGFP11 标记的同样的效应器应该被渗透和观察。此外, 高激光激发能诱发叶绿素自发荧光。因此, 用控制植物细胞调节激光强度, 不诱导叶绿素自发荧光。<ol>
<li>对于细胞壁的 counterstaining, 在观察前 5-10 分钟内浸润20毫米碘碘化物 (PI) 到叶盘中。</li>
		<li>对于细胞核染色, 将叶盘浸入0.1% 多聚甲醛5分钟, 然后用水冲洗。然后, 在显微镜观察之前, 将10毫米 PI 渗透到叶盘中 5-10 分钟。重复实验至少三次。 注意: 这一步并不重要, 但有助于定义在等离子膜或原子核上的效应器定位。如果感兴趣的效应器显示他们在特定的细胞器中的定位, 使用一个标记为给定的细胞, 以确认该效应器的本地化。</li>

这里描述的协议用于监测细菌 T3SS 注射的效应蛋白在感染时对宿主植物细胞的准确定位。以前, 分离 GFP 系统被用来作为一个工具, 研究哺乳动物蛋白的亚细胞定位23,36,沙门氏菌T3E 本地化, 和农杆菌VirE2 交付通过 T4SS 到植物细胞37。为了在植物细胞中应用这个系统, 以前的研究使用了一种转基因玉米植株, 组成性表达 GFP1-10 和转基因真菌,黑穗病玉米, 表达 GFP11-tagged 效应蛋白。然而, 玉米-玉米系统还没有成功, 因为移位效应蛋白的表达水平较弱, 背景自发荧光的高水平阻碍了对重组 GFP 信号38的检测。为了解决这个问题, 我们使用了一个 sfGFP1-10 变体, sfGFP1-10 可选, 大大提高了溶解度和荧光强度21,22。
尽管分裂 sfGFP 系统具有优势, 但对效应器定位和动力学的研究也存在一定的局限性。首先, 观测到的重组 sfGFP 荧光信号相对较弱。这可能是由于从野火直接传递的少量效应分子。使用 multimerizing sfGFP11 标记可以改进此微弱信号。携带 2x sfGFP11 标记的矢量也可从材料表中列出的源中获得。其次, 胞浆 sfGFP1-10 可选未能用 sfGFP11 目标为高尔基、ER 和质25进行重组。线粒体靶向 sfGFP11 和胞浆 sfGFP1-10 的协同表达可选导致 mislocalization 细胞质和核25的重新构成 sfGFP。因此, 应通过应用适当的细胞器目标 sfGFP1-10 可选来重新验证感兴趣的效应器的本地化。当在表示胞浆 sfGFP1-10选择的受感染细胞中未检测到任何 GFP 信号时, 建议使用N. 葛根表示高尔基、ER 和质目标 sfGFP1-10选择或使用相应细胞器目标sfGFP1-10选择转基因拟南芥25。
该方法表明, 利用分裂荧光蛋白系统作为一个有用的工具, 以检查的时间和空间动力学的效应在宿主植物25。未来的研究将集中在单分子成像的进展, 这可能使详细研究的动态, 等离子膜局部效应。此外, 使用细菌系统进行分泌物检测可能是研究真菌效应的局部化的有益选择;它防止在真菌穿透部位聚集的效应和高荧光。
应注意的是, 该方法存在一些关键点。首先, 植物材料和细菌应该是健康和新鲜的。为确保效应信号的可视化, 应强烈表达来自植物的 sfGFP1-10选择和从假单胞sfGFP11。因此, 在最佳生长条件下种植植物, 并保护它们免受诸如害虫等环境胁迫是很重要的。我们还建议, 所有用于渗透的细菌都是从2天生长的细胞, 在琼脂板块, 而不是从甘油的股票。其次, 在benthamiana中的瞬态表达式中, 对于每个细胞器标记蛋白而言, 细胞型靶向 sfGFP1-10选择的成熟所需的时间长短可能会有所不同。例如, PM-sfGFP1-10选择的成熟度在渗透后需要超过48小时。最后, 重组后的 sfGFP 信号的时间点和表达水平取决于优化某些实验条件所需的效应蛋白的类型。

植物是一种无梗的有机体, 在整个生命周期中遇到许多入侵的病原体, 包括细菌、真菌、病毒、昆虫和线虫。在 phytopathogens 中, 革兰阴性细菌病原体, 如铜绿假单胞菌和青, 通过进入伤口或自然开口, 如气孔和具1, 感染寄主植物。为了成功地将寄主植物殖民化, 细菌病原体已经进化形成了各种致病因子2。当细菌侵入寄主植物时, 它们会注射一系列的毒力蛋白--被称为效应者--直接进入植物细胞, 以促进其致病性。这些效应抑制或调节植物先天免疫, 并操纵宿主细胞过程, 导致细菌生存3。
致病细菌主要使用 T3SS 将效应蛋白直接传递到宿主细胞中4。T3SS 类似于一个分子注射器, 其针状通道连接从支架蛋白结构横跨内部和外部细菌膜到宿主细胞的注射点5。这种 T3SS-mediated 效应器 (T3E) 分泌机制在植物的各种革兰氏阴性细菌病原体以及人类中都保存良好。一个代表性植物病原体,野火pv。西红柿DC3000 hrcC变种通常有缺陷的 T3SS, 限制了植物的生长, 可能是由于这个突变体无法完全抑制植物免疫 (通过注射效应蛋白)6。在转移到宿主细胞后, 效应靶针对宿主细胞系统中重要的各种宿主蛋白, 包括植物防御反应、基因转录、细胞死亡、蛋白酶体、囊泡贩运和激素通路7,8,9,10. 因此, 跟踪宿主细胞中效应蛋白的细胞定位是了解它们在调节植物免疫力方面的作用的一个很有吸引力的目标。
大多数 T3Es 的定位研究都采用了农杆菌-介导的大荧光蛋白在寄主植物9中的过度表达。然而, 其他物种引入的基因的异种表达方法已被证明是错误本地化的, 或者偶尔不起作用的11,12,13。此外, 一些研究显示, 细菌效应在宿主细胞中进行了适当的靶向定位14,15,16,17。因此, 瞬时表达的效应在植物细胞的细胞质可能不是功能上或数量相同的效应者, 由 T3SS 提供的病原体感染18。此外, 大荧光标记与效应蛋白的融合可能会扰乱适当的效应传递和可视化18,19。因此, 这些检测 T3E 功能的方法可能无法充分反映 T3SS-secreted 效应的本土化。
绿色荧光蛋白 (GFP) 由一个11股的β桶组成, 其中包含一个包括生色20的中心链。金都et报道了一个新的分裂-GFP 系统, 由一个小组成部分 (gfp β链 11;GFP11) 和一个大的互补片段 (GFP β链 1-10;GFP1-10)21。片段不荧光自己, 但荧光后, 他们的自我联想, 当两个片断是在密切接近。对于蛋白质折叠效率的优化, gfp 的鲁棒折叠变体,即, sfGFP 和 sfGFP选择, 随后为分割的 gfp 系统20,21,22而开发。最近, sfGFP1-10 可选-sfYFP1-10选择和 sfCFP1-10选择的单个氨基酸突变变种, 可以用 sfGFP11 片段进行重建, 并分别显示黄色和青色荧光, 生成23.此外, sfCherry 是 mCherry 的导数, 可以以与 sfGFP23相同的方式拆分为 sfCherry1-10 和 sfCherry11 片段。
该系统已经适应了标签和跟踪 T3SS 在 HeLa 细胞感染期间使用的效应器从沙门氏菌24.然而, 它以前未被优化为寄主植物细菌病原体系统。最近, 我们优化了基于改进的 sfGFP1-10 可选的分割 GFP 系统, 以监视从野火发送到植物单元25的 T3Es 的亚细胞定位。为了促进 T3Es 对不同亚细胞间的定位研究, 一组转基因的拟南芥植物在不同的亚细胞间隔内生成 sfGFP1-10 可选25. 此外, 携带各种细胞器靶向的 sfGFP1-10 的质粒选择用于农杆菌介导的瞬态过度表达和 T3SS-based 效应传递的 sfGFP11-tagged 向量也产生。各种转基因的拟南芥线和质粒来表达 T3Es 的种子, 可以从材料表26,27中提到的来源获得。
在下面的协议中, 我们描述了一个优化系统, 以监测由细菌在宿主细胞中使用分裂 sfGFP 系统传递的效应器的动力学。表达 sfGFP1-10选择的植物感染转基因假单胞菌携带重组 sfGFP11 质粒导致 sfGFP11-tagged 效应器从假单胞菌交付宿主细胞。因此, 这些蛋白质被重组, 并植物常常将到特定的效应靶室 (s)。假单胞野火pv。西红柿CUCPB5500 菌株, 其中18个效应被删除, 使用, 因为这种菌株显示低或没有细胞死亡, 在A. 南芥和N. benthamianas28。然而, 这里描述的所有材料和步骤可以被替换或修改, 以适应分裂 sfGFP 系统的调查其他生物问题或优化在给定的实验室条件。

split green fluorescent protein system to visualize effectors delivered from bacteria during infection

细菌是各种植物病害中最重要的致病因子之一, 它将一组效应蛋白分泌到宿主植物细胞中, 破坏植物的免疫系统。在感染期间细胞质效应通过 III. 型分泌系统 (T3SS) 传递给宿主细胞质。传递到植物细胞后, 效应器 (s) 靶向特定的隔间, 调节宿主细胞的过程以生存和复制病原体。虽然对宿主细胞中效应蛋白的亚型定位进行了研究, 以了解其在致病性中的作用, 利用荧光蛋白, 直接从细菌中注射的效应研究由于 T3SS 和荧光蛋白之间的不相容性而受到了挑战。
在这里, 我们描述了我们最近的方法, 优化分裂 superfolder 绿色荧光蛋白系统 (sfGFP选择), 以可视化的效应传递通过细菌 T3SS 在宿主细胞。通过 T3SS 分泌的 sfGFP 的 sfGFP11 (11th β链) 可以与特定的细胞器 (sfGFP1-10 可选(1-10 β链 sfGFP) 一起组装, 从而导致现场的荧光发射.该协议提供了一个程序, 以可视化重组 sfGFP 荧光信号的效应蛋白从假单胞菌野火在一个特定的细胞器在拟南芥和烟草 benthamiana植物。

GFP 的β桶结构由十一β链组成, 可分为两个片段, 1-10th链 (GFP1-10 可选) 和 11th (GFP11) 链。尽管两个碎片本身都不是荧光的, 但自组装 sfGFP 可以在接近接近度 (图 1A) 存在时发出荧光。在该系统中, sfGFP1-10 "选择"-表示拟南芥或N. benthamiana植物接种了假单胞菌携带一个 sfGFP11 标记的效应器。由铜绿假单胞传递到宿主单元格细胞质中的 sfGFP11 标记的效应器被重组为细胞质中表示的 sfGFP1-10 可选, 然后将植物常常将组合到目标隔间(图 1B)。图 2表示从植物材料的制备和Pst到植物细胞中荧光信号检测的整个过程。
作为我们的方法的一个例子, 我们使用了野火效应蛋白, AvrB, 它被传递到宿主植物细胞在感染期间彻底 T3SS。在拟南芥中, AvrB 由相应的抗性蛋白 RPM1 识别, 并触发免疫应答, 包括超敏细胞死亡33。在前一项研究中, GFP 报告和生化检测显示, AvrB 和 RPM1 在植物细胞的等离子膜 (33,34,35) 中被本地化。要使用我们的方法检查 AvrB 的本地化,农杆菌窝藏细胞 sfGFP1-10 可选基因已渗入benthamiana。两天后, AvrB-sfGFP11-transformed铜绿假单胞菌细胞接种到了农杆菌浸润区。在包含 AvrB-sfGFP11 的等离子膜 (图 3B) 的Pst CUCPB5500 中观察到补充的 sfGFP 荧光信号。相比之下, 通过携带本机 AvrB 的Pst (图 3A), 在受感染的单元格中未发现任何信号。

A Fluorescence-based Method to Study Bacterial Gene Regulation in Infected Tissues

Bacterial virulence genes are often regulated at the transcriptional level by multiple factors that respond to different environmental signals. Some factors act directly on virulence genes; others control pathogenesis by adjusting the expression of downstream regulators or the accumulation of signals that affect regulator activity. While regulation has been studied extensively during in vitro growth, relatively little is known about how gene expression is adjusted during infection. Such information is important when a particular gene product is a candidate for therapeutic intervention. Transcriptional approaches like quantitative, real-time RT-PCR and RNA-Seq are powerful ways to examine gene expression on a global level but suffer from many technical challenges including low abundance of bacterial RNA compared to host RNA, and sample degradation by RNases. Evaluating regulation using fluorescent reporters is relatively easy and can be multiplexed with fluorescent proteins with unique spectral properties. The method allows for single-cell, spatiotemporal analysis of gene expression in tissues that exhibit complex three-dimensional architecture and physiochemical gradients that affect bacterial regulatory networks. Such information is lost when data are averaged over the bulk population. Herein, we describe a method for quantifying gene expression in bacterial pathogens in situ. The method is based on simple tissue processing and direct observation of fluorescence from reporter proteins. We demonstrate the utility of this system by examining the expression of Staphylococcus aureus thermonuclease (nuc), whose gene product is required for immune evasion and full virulence ex vivo and in vivo. We show that nuc-gfp is strongly expressed in renal abscesses and reveal heterogeneous gene expression due in part to apparent spatial regulation of nuc promoter activity in abscesses fully engaged with the immune response. The method can be applied to any bacterium with a manipulatable genetic system and any infection model, providing valuable information for preclinical studies and drug development.

Described here is a method for analyzing bacterial gene expression in animal tissues at a cellular level. This method provides a resource for studying the phenotypic diversity occurring within a bacterial population in response to the tissue environment during an infection.

Application of Fluorescent Nanoparticles to Study Remodeling of the Endo-lysosomal System by Intracellular Bacteria

Fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) with desirable chemical, optical and mechanical properties are promising tools to label intracellular organelles. Here, we introduce a method using gold-BSA-rhodamine NPs to label the endo-lysosomal system of eukaryotic cells and monitor manipulations of host cellular pathways by the intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica. The NPs were readily internalized by HeLa cells and localized in late endosomes/lysosomes. Salmonella infection induced rearrangement of the vesicles and accumulation of NPs in Salmonella-induced membrane structures. We deployed the Imaris software package for quantitative analyses of confocal microscopy images. The number of objects and their size distribution in non-infected cells were distinct from the ones in Salmonella-infected cells, indicating extremely remodeling of the endo-lysosomal system by WT Salmonella.

This article describes methods for the synthesis and fluorescent labeling of nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs were applied in pulse-chase experiments to label the endo-lysosomal system of eukaryotic cells. Manipulation of the endo-lysosomal system by activities of the intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica were followed by live cell imaging and quantified.

Electroporation of Functional Bacterial Effectors into Mammalian Cells

The study of protein interactions in the context of living cells can generate critical information about localization, dynamics, and interacting partners. This information is particularly valuable in the context of host-pathogen interactions. Many pathogen proteins function within host cells in a variety of way such as, enabling evasion of the host immune system and survival within the intracellular environment. To study these pathogen-protein host-cell interactions, several approaches are commonly used, including: in vivo infection with a strain expressing a tagged or mutant protein, or introduction of pathogen genes via transfection or transduction. Each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages. We sought a means to directly introduce exogenous proteins into cells. Electroporation is commonly used to introduce nucleic acids into cells, but has been more rarely applied to proteins although the biophysical basis is exactly the same. A standard electroporator was used to introduce affinity-tagged bacterial effectors into mammalian cells. Human epithelial and mouse macrophage cells were cultured by traditional methods, detached, and placed in 0.4 cm gap electroporation cuvettes with an exogenous bacterial pathogen protein of interest (e.g. Salmonella Typhimurium GtgE). After electroporation (0.3 kV) and a short (4 hr) recovery period, intracellular protein was verified by fluorescently labeling the protein via its affinity tag and examining spatial and temporal distribution by confocal microscopy. The electroporated protein was also shown to be functional inside the cell and capable of correct subcellular trafficking and protein-protein interaction. While the exogenous proteins tended to accumulate on the surface of the cells, the electroporated samples had large increases in intracellular effector concentration relative to incubation alone. The protocol is simple and fast enough to be done in a parallel fashion, allowing for high-throughput characterization of pathogen proteins in host cells including subcellular targeting and function of virulence proteins.

Electroporation was used to insert purified bacterial virulence effector proteins directly into living eukaryotic cells. Protein localization was monitored by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. This method allows for studies on trafficking, function, and protein-protein interactions using active exogenous proteins, avoiding the need for heterologous expression in eukaryotic cells.

Analysis of Yersinia enterocolitica Effector Translocation into Host Cells Using Beta-lactamase Effector Fusions

Many gram-negative bacteria including pathogenic Yersinia spp. employ type III secretion systems to translocate effector proteins into eukaryotic target cells. Inside the host cell the effector proteins manipulate cellular functions to the benefit of the bacteria. To better understand the control of type III secretion during host cell interaction, sensitive and accurate assays to measure translocation are required. We here describe the application of an assay based on the fusion of a Yersinia enterocolitica effector protein fragment (Yersinia outer protein; YopE) with TEM-1 beta-lactamase for quantitative analysis of translocation. The assay relies on cleavage of a cell permeant FRET dye (CCF4/AM) by translocated beta-lactamase fusion. After cleavage of the cephalosporin core of CCF4 by the beta-lactamase, FRET from coumarin to fluorescein is disrupted and excitation of the coumarin moiety leads to blue fluorescence emission. Different applications of this method have been described in the literature highlighting its versatility. The method allows for analysis of translocation in vitro and also in in vivo, e.g., in a mouse model. Detection of the fluorescence signals can be performed using plate readers, FACS analysis or fluorescence microscopy. In the setup described here, in vitro translocation of effector fusions into HeLa cells by different Yersinia mutants is monitored by laser scanning microscopy. Recording intracellular conversion of the FRET reporter by the beta-lactamase effector fusion in real-time provides robust quantitative results. We here show exemplary data, demonstrating increased translocation by a Y. enterocolitica YopE mutant compared to the wild type strain.

Effector translocation into host cells via a type III secretion system is a common virulence strategy among gram-negative bacteria. A beta-lactamase effector fusion based assay for quantitative analysis of translocation was applied. In Yersinia infected cells, conversion of a FRET reporter by the beta-lactamase is monitored using laser scanning microscopy.

Applying Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) to Examine Effector Translocation Efficiency by Coxiella burnetii during siRNA Silencing

Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is an intracellular pathogen that relies on a Type IV Dot/Icm Secretion System to establish a replicative niche. A cohort of effectors are translocated through this system into the host cell to manipulate host processes and allow the establishment of a unique lysosome-derived vacuole for replication. The method presented here involves the combination of two well-established techniques: specific gene silencing using siRNA and measurement of effector translocation using a FRET-based substrate that relies on &#946;-lactamase activity. Applying these two approaches, we can begin to understand the role of host factors in bacterial secretion system function and effector translocation. In this study we examined the role of Rab5A and Rab7A, both important regulators of the endocytic trafficking pathway. We demonstrate that silencing the expression of either protein results in a decrease in effector translocation efficiency. These methods can be easily modified to examine other intracellular and extracellular pathogens that also utilize secretion systems. In this way, a global picture of host factors involved in bacterial effector translocation may be revealed.

Using Enhanced Green Fluorescence Protein-expressing Escherichia Coli to Assess Mouse Peritoneal Macrophage Phagocytosis

This manuscript describes a simple and reproducible method to perform a phagocytosis assay. The first part of this method involves building a pET-SUMO-EGFP vector (SUMO = small ubiquitin-like modifier) and expressing enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) in Escherichia coli (BL21DE). EGFP-expressing E. coli is coincubated with macrophages for 1 h at 37 &#176;C; the negative control group is incubated on ice for the same amount of time. Then, the macrophages are ready for assessment. The advantages of this technique include its simple and straightforward steps, and phagocytosis can be measured by both flow cytometer and fluorescence microscope. The EGFP-expressing E. coli are stable and display a strong fluorescence signal even after the macrophages are fixed with paraformaldehyde. This method is not only suitable for the assessment of macrophage cell lines or primary macrophages in vitro but also suitable for the evaluation of granulocyte and monocyte phagocytosis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The results show that the phagocytic capability of peritoneal macrophages from young (eight-week-old) mice is higher than that of macrophages from aged (16-month-old) mice. In summary, this method measures macrophage phagocytosis and is suitable for studying the innate immune system function.

Applying Live Cell Imaging and Cryo-Electron Tomography to Resolve Spatiotemporal Features of the Legionella pneumophila Dot/Icm Secretion System

The Dot/Icm secretion system of Legionella pneumophila is a complex type IV secretion system (T4SS) nanomachine that localizes at the bacterial pole and mediates the delivery of protein and DNA substrates to target cells, a process generally requiring direct cell-to-cell contact. We have recently solved the structure of the Dot/Icm apparatus by cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and showed that it forms a cell envelope-spanning channel that connects to a cytoplasmic complex. Applying two complementary approaches that preserve the native structure of the specimen, fluorescent microscopy in living cells and cryo-ET, allows in situ visualization of proteins and assimilation of the stoichiometry and timing of production of each machine component relative to other Dot/Icm subunits. To investigate the requirements for polar positioning and to characterize dynamic features associated with T4SS machine biogenesis, we have fused a gene encoding superfolder green fluorescent protein to Dot/Icm ATPase genes at their native positions on the chromosome. The following method integrates quantitative fluorescence microscopy of living cells and cryo-ET to quantify polar localization, dynamics, and structure of these proteins in intact bacterial cells. Applying these approaches for studying the Legionella pneumophila T4SS is useful for characterizing the function of the Dot/Icm system and can be adapted to study a wide variety of bacterial pathogens that utilize the T4SS or other types of bacterial secretion complexes.

Kinetic Visualization of Single-Cell Interspecies Bacterial Interactions

Polymicrobial communities are ubiquitous in nature, yet studying their interactions at the single-cell level is difficult. Thus, a microscopy-based method has been developed for observing interspecies interactions between two bacterial pathogens. The use of this method to interrogate interactions between a motile Gram-negative pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a non-motile Gram-positive pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus is demonstrated here. This protocol consists of co-inoculating each species between a coverslip and an agarose pad, which maintains the cells in a single plane and allows for visualization of bacterial behaviors in both space and time.
Furthermore, the time-lapse microscopy demonstrated here is ideal for visualizing the early interactions that take place between two or more bacterial species, including changes in bacterial species motility in monoculture and in coculture with other species. Due to the nature of the limited sample space in the microscopy setup, this protocol is less applicable for studying later interactions between bacterial species once cell populations are too high. However, there are several different applications of the protocol which include the use of staining for imaging live and dead bacterial cells, quantification of gene or protein expression through fluorescent reporters, and tracking bacterial cell movement in both single species and multispecies experiments.

This live-bacterial cell imaging protocol allows for visualization of interactions between multiple bacterial species at the single-cell level over time. Time-lapse imaging allows for observation of each bacterial species in monoculture or coculture to interrogate interspecies interactions in multispecies bacterial communities, including individual cell motility and viability.

High&#45;Resolution Three&#45;Dimensional Whole&#45;Organ Tomography of Microbial Infections

Most infections take place within three-dimensional host tissues with intricate anatomy and locally varying host physiology. The positioning of pathogen cells within this diverse environment significantly affects their stress levels, responses, fate, and contribution to the overall progression of the disease and treatment failure. However, due to the technical difficulties in locating &#181;m-sized pathogen cells within cm-sized host organs, this area of research has been relatively unexplored. Here, we present a method for addressing this challenge. We employ serial two-photon tomography and AI-enhanced image analysis to locate individual Salmonella cells throughout the entire spleen, liver lobes, and whole lymph nodes of infected mice. Using fluorescent reporters and in vivo antibody administration, the replication rate of single Salmonella cells, their local interaction with specific immune cells, and bacterial responses to antibiotics can be determined. These methodologies open avenues for a comprehensive examination of infections, their prevention, and treatment within the three-dimensional tissue context.
