Séminaire de l’IPBS Axel Magalon Laboratoire de Chimie Bactérienne, UMR 7283, Marseille Mardi 26 janvier 2016 à 11 h Salle des séminaires Dynamic subcellular distribution is key to control bacterial respiration Respiration is an essential process for most living organisms sustained by multisubunit complexes anchored in the lipid bilayer. The basic principle of respiration applies to the respiratory electron transfer chains of eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Plasticity is a hallmark of the respiratory process. In eukaryotes, mitochondria are dynamic compartments fine-tuning their activity in response to changes in nutrient availability and oxygen concentrations through a plastic organization of the respiratory complexes in the membrane. Similarly, prokaryotes are characterized by the coexistence of several complexes both at the electron input and output leading to multiple electron transfer routes. Such a metabolic flexibility accounts for colonization of multiple environments and adaptation to environmental changes such as the ones encountered by pathogens during interaction with their hosts. An immediate question concerns the cellular organization of respiration in living organisms i.e. how are distributed the complexes across the membrane? Is there a dynamic distribution? Furthermore, does such organization have functional implications? Through the use of fluorescent protein tagging, distribution at the single-cell level of the nitrate reductase from the commensal gut bacterium E. coli was studied. Apart from observing a submicrometric localization of the complex at the bacterial cell poles, its distribution within the cytoplasmic membrane is strongly influenced by environmental signals, that is, in response to the metabolic demand. We provide here the identification of unprecedented polar cues and describe the functional implications of such spatio-temporal regulation. How spatio-temporal regulation on timescales of few tens of minutes may significantly influence the optimum performance of the bacterial cell will be discussed in the general context of bacterial respiration but also during intestinal inflammation.
