Abstract

Bacteria use quorum-sensing (QS) systems to monitor and regulate their population density. Bacterial QS involves small molecules that act as signals for bacterial communication. Many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens use a class of widely conserved molecules, called diffusible signal factor (DSF) family QS signals. The measurement of DSF family signal molecules is essential for understanding DSF metabolic pathways, signaling networks, as well as regulatory roles. Here, we describe a method for the extraction of DSF family signal molecules from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) cell pellets and Xoo culture supernatant. We determined the levels of DSF family signals using ultra-performance liquid chromatographic system (UPLC) coupled with accurate mass time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). With the aid of UPLC/MS system, the detection limit of DSF was as low as 1 µM, which greatly improves the ability to detect DSF DSF family signal molecules in bacterial cultures and reaction mixtures.

Background

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a causal agent of bacterial blight disease of rice, and produces multiple DSF family QS signals, including cis-11-methy-dodecenoic acid (DSF), cis-2-dodecenoic acid (BDSF), cis-10-methyl-2-dodecenoic acid (IDSF) and cis,cis-11-methyldodeca-2,5-dienoic acid (CDSF), to regulate virulence factor production (Figure 1). The biosynthesis, perception, and turnover of DSF family signals require components of the rpf (regulation of pathogenicity factors) cluster in Xoo. RpfF is a key DSF biosynthase with both acyl-ACP thioesterase and dehydratase activity. The two-component system, comprising the sensor kinase RpfC and the response regulator RpfG, plays an essential role in the perception and transduction of DSF family signals. RpfB has recently been characterized as a fatty acyl-CoA ligase (FCL), which functions in DSF family signal turnover in Xanthomonas (Wang et al., 2016; Zhou et al., 2015b). Deletion of rpfB in Xoo strain PXO99A leads to an over-production of DSF and BDSF and reduced production of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), extracellular amylase activity. Moreover, attenuated pathogenicity has also been observed (Wang et al., 2016). Therefore, the RpfB-dependent DSF family signal turnover system is considered a naturally occurring signal turnover system in Xanthomonas. Detection and quantification of DSF family signals are very important in understanding the mechanisms of the DSF signaling system. As a result, detection methods for these signals have improved over the past few years. Initially, DSF detection relied on genetically engineered DSF biosensor-based detection systems (Slater et al., 2000; Wang et al., 2004), which provide an indirect way to analyze the activity of DSF family signals without differentiating structurally similar members of this group. Later, a detection method based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed, which allowed a direct quantification of production levels of DSF family signal molecules by Xanthomonas (Wang et al., 2004; He et al., 2010; Zhou et al., 2015a). Recently, this HPLC-based method was further improved by using ultra performance liquid chromatographic system/ mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS),which offers better sensitivity and accuracy in the measurement of DSF family signals produced by Xoo, which will be presented in detail in this protocol (Zhou et al., 2015b; Wang et al., 2016).
