Bacteria live under ever-changing environmental conditions. To survive and propagate, bacteria sense environmental cues and respond to them quickly allowing for adaptation. Our research aims to unravel novel principles and pathways underlying signal-perception, -transduction and cellular regulation in the model organism Escherichia coli and related bacteria including pathogens. We focus on mechanisms acting at the post-transcriptional level including small RNAs and RNA-binding proteins. Moreover, we study two-component and phosphotransferase systems, which monitor the environment and transduce information into the cell. Specifically, we investigate a regulatory network, which controls cell envelope biosynthesis and repair in response to metabolic signals and extracytoplasmic stress. This network involves the trans-envelope signaling complex QseEGF, which employs a regulatory cascade composed of small RNAs GlmY/GlmZ and the RNA binding protein RapZ to achieve envelope homeostasis.
We are bacterial geneticists and use the whole repertoire of molecular biology methods to address our questions. We are devoted to the power and art of genetic screens that often reveal novel regulatory pathways and factors. For our RNA-based research projects we employ classical methods such as Northern, EMSA or RACE analyses as well as state-of-the-art approaches including RNA-seq, RNA structure probing and pull-down techniques to analyze RNA/protein interactions. Furthermore, the laboratory has a longstanding expertise in analyzing protein phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions using a variety of complementary in vivo and in vitro techniques. Through application of ligand fishing approaches we routinely identify novel interaction partners for our proteins of interest. Structural and biophysical techniques and bioinformatics are applied in the framework of established collaborations.
Boris Görke studied Biology and obtained a PhD at the University of Freiburg, Germany. Boris performed a postdoc at the Laboratoire De Chimie Bacteriénne, CNRS in Marseille, France. Subsequently he moved to the University of Göttingen, Germany where he started his own research group and received the venia legendi for “Microbiology and Genetics”. Since 2013 he is group leader at the Max Perutz Labs
We recently revealed a conserved signaling cascade acting across three different cellular compartments. The outer-membrane lipoprotein QseG activates the inner membrane-bound kinase QseE by interaction to phosphorylate a cytoplasmic response regulator. This three-component system senses a stimulus, likely derived from the cell envelope, to activate genes required for envelope synthesis and repair.
Kinase KdpD can be activated by non-phosphorylated PtsN, a component of the PTS(Ntr), resulting in phosphorylation of response regulator KdpE. Paradoxically, PtsN and KdpE compete for binding as both contact the KdpD transmitter domain. We found that PtsN binds one protomer in the KdpD dimer to stimulate phosphorylation of the second protomer in trans, which finally phosphorylates KdpE.
The RNA-binding protein RapZ is part of a regulatory circuit involving the two homologous small RNAs GlmY and GlmZ, which jointly regulate synthesis of cell envelope precursor molecules. Our recent work on RapZ revealed the structure and features of a novel type of an RNA-binding protein, which allosterically activates endoribonuclease RNase E by interaction to selectively degrade GlmZ on demand.
We recently discovered that small RNAs GlmY and GlmZ provide Enterobacteria including important pathogens with intrinsic resistance towards antibiotics targeting the central cell envelope synthesis enzyme GlmS. Thus, suppression of the GlmY/GlmZ circuit increases antibiotic susceptibility, which could be useful to treat infections and may help to overcome the current antibiotic resistance crisis.
