Autophosphorylation of the Bacterial Tyrosine-Kinase CpsD Connects Capsule Synthesis with the Cell Cycle in

English version České info

Bacteria utilize a multi-protein membrane complex to synthesize and export the polysaccharide capsule that conceals and covers the cell. In bacterial pathogens, the capsule protects the cell form opsonophagocytosis and complement-mediated killing. The mechanisms allowing the bacterial cell to maintain this protective capsule during cell growth and division remain unknown. The capsule assembly machinery encompasses a particular type of tyrosine-kinases found only in bacteria, which are called BY-kinases. These kinases are involved in the regulation of several cellular functions including polysaccharide capsule production. Studying the role of BY-kinase represents thus an interesting approach to decipher the mechanisms of capsule synthesis and export. Here, we study the role of the BY-kinase CpsD in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. We show that CpsD plays a dual function in the pneumococcus. Indeed, CpsD captures the capsule assembly machinery at the site of division, but we also show that CpsD coordinates capsule production with the cell cycle by interacting with the chromosome segregation system. These features provide a simple mechanism to cover the complete surface of the pneumococcal daughter cells. This finding further opens a new view of the function of BY-kinases in the bacterial cell notably in localizing protein complexes in subcellular regions over the cell cycle.
