Title Regulation of potassium uptake in Caulobacter crescentus [ChIP-seq]
Organism Caulobacter vibrioides
Experiment type Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Potassium (K+) is an essential physiological element determining membrane potential, intracellular pH, osmotic/turgor pressure, and protein synthesis in cells. Here we describe the regulation of potassium uptake systems in the oligotrophic alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus known as a model for asymmetric cell division. We show that C. crescentus can grow in concentrations from the micromolar to the millimolar range by mainly using two K+ transporters to maintain potassium homeostasis, the low affinity Kup and the high affinity Kdp uptake systems. When K+ is not limiting, we found that the kup gene is essential while kdp inactivation does not impact the growth. In contrast, kdp becomes critical but not essential and kup dispensable for growth in K+-limited environments. However, in the absence of kdp, mutations in kup were selected to improve growth in K+-depleted conditions, likely by increasing the affinity of Kup for K+. In addition, mutations in the KdpDE two-component system, which regulates kdpABCDE expression, suggest that the inner membrane sensor regulatory component KdpD mainly works as a phosphatase to limit the growth when cells reach late exponential phase. Our data therefore suggest that KdpE is phosphorylated by another non-cognate histidine kinase. On top of this, we determined the KdpE-dependent and independent K+ transcriptome. Together, our work illustrates how an oligotrophic bacterium responds to fluctuation in K+ availability.
 
Overall design Examination of KdpE whole genome binding/occupancy (ChIP-Seq) in WT, ∆kdpD and ∆kdpE of Caulobacter crescentus grown in synthetic minimal media M2G-K with 0.025 mM K+ or 0.5 mM K+
