Summary
Many intracellular bacterial pathogens undergo actin-based motility to promote cell-cell spread during infection [1]. For each pathogen, motility was assumed to be driven by a single actin polymerization pathway. Curiously, spotted-fever-group Rickettsia differ from other pathogens in possessing two actin polymerizing proteins. RickA, an activator of the host Arp2/3 complex, was initially proposed to drive motility [2, 3]. Sca2, a mimic of host formins [4, 5], was later shown to be required for motility [6]. Whether and how their activities are coordinated has remained unclear. Here, we show that each protein directs an independent mode of Rickettsia parkeri motility at different times during infection. Early after invasion, motility is slow and meandering, generating short, curved actin tails that are enriched with Arp2/3 complex and cofilin. Early motility requires RickA and Arp2/3 complex, and is correlated with transient RickA localization to the bacterial pole. Later in infection, motility is faster and directionally persistent, resulting in long, straight actin tails. Late motility is independent of Arp2/3 complex and RickA, and requires Sca2, which accumulates at the bacterial pole. Both motility pathways facilitate cell-to-cell spread. The ability to exploit two actin assembly pathways may allow Rickettsia to establish an intracellular niche and spread between diverse cells throughout a prolonged infection.
Results and Discussion
Rickettsia motility occurs in two phases with distinct movement parameters
Pathogens that undergo actin-based motility (ABM), including Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri, were assumed to deploy one protein that harnesses a single actin polymerization pathway, resulting in a mechanistically uniform mode of motility throughout infection [7]. However, spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia differ from L. monocytogenes and S. flexneri in having a slower doubling time (8-12 h versus 40-60 min) and longer persistence time in host cells (120 h or more versus 8-24 h) [8, 9]. Previous studies examined Rickettsia ABM primarily at 24-48 h post infection (hpi) [10-12], with one report of rare motility at 30 min post infection (mpi) [10]. These reports did not, however, quantify movement parameters or molecular requirements throughout infection. We sought to determine how ABM progressed during infection with Rickettsia parkeri, an emerging SFG pathogen that causes eschar-associated rickettsiosis in humans [13].
We investigated the appearance of actin tails at various times after infection of human microvascular endothelial (HMEC-1) cells. Early after invasion (15-30 mpi), actin tails were predominantly short or curved (Figure 1A, 1B). Most bacteria with actin tails were intracellular even at 15 mpi (Figure S1A), with a small extracellular fraction that may have been invading or escaping from host cells. At intermediate times post infection (2-12 hpi), few tails were observed (Figure 1A). At later times (24-48 hpi), tails were more frequent and were predominantly long (Figure 1A, 1B’). This suggests that R. parkeri transition through an early motile phase prior to bacterial replication, an intermediate phase with infrequent motility, and a late motile phase after replication commences.
To discern whether the parameters of movement changed over time, we observed motility of individual R. parkeri early (15-60 mpi) and late (48 hpi) after infection of HMEC-1 cells (Movies S1-S2; Figure S1B, C), and compared these with the parameters of L. monocytogenes motility (8-12 hpi) (Movie S3; Figure S1D). Early R. parkeri motility was slower and produced shorter actin tails in comparison with late R. parkeri and L. monocytogenes motility (Figure 1C, D). Tail length and speed were well correlated for both early R. parkeri (R2 = 0.69) and L. monocytogenes motility (R2 = 0.78) (Figure 1E), similar to previous observations for L. monocytogenes [17]. However, there was little correlation for late R. parkeri motility (R2 = 0.30), as seen previously [18]. We also measured path curvature by calculating movement efficiency (displacement /distance traveled) and the average cos (Δθ) (Δθ = change in tangent angle between track segments) (Figure 1F, G) over 60 s. The median values for both curvature measures were close to 1 for late R. parkeri motility, indicating straighter trajectories. Both measurements were significantly different for early R. parkeri motility, reflecting more curved trajectories similar to those of L. monocytogenes. Thus, early and late R. parkeri motility differ in key parameters, suggesting that each phase is driven by a distinct actin polymerization mechanism.
Different host proteins are recruited and required for early and late motility
The observation that early R. parkeri motility resembles L. monocytogenes motility, which requires the host Arp2/3 complex [7], suggested that differences between early versus late R. parkeri motility result from differential utilization of proteins involved in Arp2/3-dependent actin network assembly and disassembly. The recruitment of the Arp2/3 complex to R. parkeri actin tails was examined in HMEC-1 cells expressing the mCherry-tagged ARPC5 subunit. mCherry-ARPC5 localized intensely to early R. parkeri actin tails in both live and fixed cells (Figure 2A, C), similar to Arp2/3 complex localization in L. monocytogenes tails [20, 21]. In fixed cells, the Arp3 subunit of native Arp2/3 complex was also observed in early tails (Figure S2A). In contrast, ARPC5 and Arp3 intensities were indistinguishable from controls in late R. parkeri actin tails (Figure 2B, C; Figure S2B), consistent with previous findings [12, 18, 22]. We also examined the localization of the actin severing and depolymerizing protein cofilin, which is enriched in cellular actin networks containing Arp2/3 [23]. In HMEC-1 cells expressing cofilin tagged with EGFP, EGFP-cofilin intensity was significantly higher in early R. parkeri actin tails compared with late tails, and intensity in both tail types was significantly higher than control intensity (Figure 2D-F; Figure S2C). Earlier qualitative observations also found cofilin to be more abundant in L. monocytogenes actin tails than late R. parkeri tails [12, 18]. The distinct composition of actin cytoskeletal proteins in early and late R. parkeri actin tails likely reflects differences in the mechanisms of actin assembly and dynamics.
We tested for differences in the functional requirement for host Arp2/3 complex in early versus late R. parkeri ABM by treating infected HMEC-1 and Cos7 with the small-molecule Arp2/3 inhibitor CK869 [24], the inactive control compound CK312, or DMSO alone (Figure 2G-I; Figure S2). Early actin tail formation (30 mpi) was significantly reduced upon 15 min treatment with inhibitor relative to controls (Figure 2G, Figure S2D). In contrast, late motility (48 hpi) was unaffected by 30 min or 24 h treatment with Arp2/3 inhibitor (Figure 2H, I; Figure S2E). Thus, the molecular mechanisms of actin nucleation during early and late motility are distinct, with early motility exhibiting an Arp2/3-dependent mechanism similar to that used by L. monocytogenes [7].
Early motility requires RickA and late motility requires Sca2
Differences in the requirement for host Arp2/3 complex in early versus late R. parkeri ABM suggested that the two bacterial actin-polymerizing proteins, RickA and Sca2, might also contribute differentially to each motility phase. Using the pMW1650/himar1 transposon system [25, 26] in R. parkeri, we isolated transposon insertion mutations in the rickA or sca2 genes (Figure S3A, B). The sca2::tn mutation causes the expression of a truncated 50 kDa protein, whereas the rickA::tn mutation eliminates detectable expression of RickA (Figure S3C). Neither mutation deleteriously affected the growth of R. parkeri (Figure S3D). Importantly, the rickA::tn mutant was completely defective in early tail formation (Figure 3A, B), but showed no defect in late tail formation (Figure 3C, D). Conversely, the sca2::tn mutant was completely deficient in late tail formation (Figure 3C, D) (similar to the sca2::tn mutant in R. rickettsii [6]), and exhibited a slight defect in early tail formation (Figure 3A, B), perhaps reflecting a small subset of early ABM driven by Sca2. Thus, the two phases of Rickettsia motility are mechanistically independent, with RickA and the Arp2/3 complex required for early motility, and Sca2 alone required for late motility.
We next investigated the function of RickA and Sca2 in R. parkeri cell-cell spread. The efficiency of spread at 24 hpi was determined by measuring the size of infectious foci in A549 cell monolayers, and at 5 d post infection (dpi) by measuring the size of plaques in Vero cell monolayers. At 24 hpi, both the rickA::tn and sca2::tn mutants exhibited significantly smaller foci than wild type, although the sca2::tn mutant phenotype was more severe (Figure 3E, F). At 5 dpi, however, only the sca2::tn mutant had significantly smaller plaques than wild type (Figure 3G, H), consistent with small plaques formed by a R. rickettsii sca2 mutant [6]. Thus, both RickA and Sca2 are important for efficient spread kinetics early in infection, whereas Sca2 is primarily important for spread later in infection.
A transition between phases is mediated by changes in RickA and Sca2 localization
For L. monocytogenes and S. flexneri, polar localization of the bacterial actin polymerizing proteins ActA or IcsA is important for efficient ABM [27]. Previous studies reported diffuse localization of RickA [2, 15] and polar localization of Sca2 [4] late in infection. We hypothesized that changes in the localization or abundance of RickA and Sca2 might coordinate their activities in the two phases of motility. Surface-accessible protein localization was determined in a synchronized infection of HMEC-1 cells (Figure 4, Table S1). At 30 mpi, 97% of bacteria with actin tails exhibited robust RickA staining at the actin-polymerizing pole (Figure 4A, C). In bacteria expressing FLAG-tagged RickA [15], the tagged protein was also polar at 30 mpi (Figure S2A). In contrast, 96% of bacteria with early actin tails lacked Sca2 staining or exhibited weak and diffuse Sca2 (Figure 4D, F). At 8 or 48 hpi, 80-93% of bacteria with actin tails showed intense staining of Sca2 at the actin-polymerizing pole (Figure 4E, F). However, more than 90% of bacteria with late tails lacked RickA staining or had diffusely distributed or dispersed punctate RickA (Figure 4B, C). Thus, there was excellent correspondence of polar RickA localization with early tail formation, and polar Sca2 localization with late tail formation. We also quantified RickA and Sca2 protein levels by Western blotting relative to the control outer membrane protein OmpA, but did not observe statistically significant changes in their abundance (Figure S4A, B). Thus, if protein abundance does vary, it does so at the level of individual bacteria rather than the population as a whole. The correspondence between polar localization of each protein and formation of actin tails at each time point suggests that sequential polar localization of RickA followed by Sca2 regulates the transition between early and late motility.
Models and functions for dual motility phases
Our results indicate that R. parkeri ABM proceeds in mechanistically independent phases. Early motility is driven by RickA and the host Arp2/3 complex, whereas late motility is driven by Sca2. The rickA and sca2 genes are highly similar in nearly all SFG Rickettsia, suggesting that biphasic motility is conserved among these species. However, the typhus group species R. typhi, which forms short actin tails [10], lacks rickA [28] and has a divergent sca2 [4], suggesting that it may undergo a single motility phase driven by a distinct mechanism. For SFG Rickettsia, a transition between phases is correlated with changes in RickA and Sca2 localization. Such changes could be attributed to temporal control over secretion, with RickA being secreted during or just following invasion, and Sca2 being secreted and localized during bacterial replication as seen for S. flexneri IcsA and other autotransporter proteins [29]. RickA and Sca2 localization and function might also be regulated by posttranslational modification. Changes in motility behavior and surface protein localization may define key stages of Rickettsia infection, and suggest that Rickettsia may undergo previously unappreciated developmental switches. It is also notable that early RickA-Arp2/3 and late Sca2-formin-like actin polymerization pathways result in fundamentally different movement parameters. This suggests that actin networks generated by different actin nucleators result in biophysically distinct forces and movements. Further study of Rickettsia motility may reveal how different actin nucleation pathways impact the movement of pathogens as well as host cell organelles and structures.
The execution of two ABM phases distinguishes SFG Rickettsia from other motile bacterial pathogens, which are thought to undergo a single mode of motility [1], although S. flexneri protrusion formation and spread are enhanced by the host formin Dia1 [30]. Why did SFG Rickettsia evolve to separately exploit both RickA-Arp2/3 and Sca2-formin-like pathways? Our results suggest that one function of both early and late ABM is to promote cell-cell spread. RickA-driven early motility might promote efficient spread kinetics from previously-infected cells before bacterial replication, as has been observed for vaccinia virus [31]. Sca2-mediated late motility appears to play a crucial role in spread once bacterial replication has commenced. The newly developed mouse model of R. parkeri infection [32] will ultimately be useful for illuminating how each motility mechanism enhances spread between the diverse cell types of the mammalian host. A second central function of actin polymerization is to modulate bacterial targeting by the host cell autophagy pathway. For L. monocytogenes, binding and recruitment of Arp2/3 complex is crucial for evading autophagy [33]. For S. flexneri, in contrast, association with actin appears to promote autophagy [34, 35]. For Rickettsia, however, the role of actin in autophagic targeting is poorly understood [34], and differential recruitment of Arp2/3 complex and actin early and late in Rickettsia infection may modulate autophagy to adapt Rickettsia to their long residence time in host cells. Thus, understanding why SFG Rickettsia exploit two actin polymerization pathways will reveal diverse evolutionary strategies by which pathogens exploit actin to establish an intracellular niche and avoid degradation.
