Abstract:

To explore the resistance mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibacterial peptide tachyplesin I,we employed RNA sequencing to analyze the changes of differentially expressed genes,sRNA target genes,and SNP between tachyplesin I-resistant strain and the original strain. By GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment,the results showed that differentially expressed genes were the most related to the functions of integral component of membrane,nucleotide binding,formate dehydrogenase(NAD+)activity,and there was no significant enrichment pathway. SNP of 22 differentially expressed genes changed,which was related to known genes encoding lipid A deacylase,outer membrane protein,cold shock protein,and lipopolysaccharide modification and hypothesized proteins. Further prediction and analysis uncovered 11 differentially expressed sRNAs and corresponding 863 differentially expressed target genes. The functions of these sRNA target genes were mainly related to histidine biosynthetic process,homoserine kinase activity,and 5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate delta-isomerase activity. It is referred that the resistance mechanism of P. aeruginosa to tachyplesin I may be regulated by affecting the synthesis and metabolism of amino acids,the formation and modification of membrane proteins,and metabolism of iron ions,as well as by leading to the base mutations of few genes. At the same time,sRNA played its regulatory role by acting these related target genes expression. The SNP mutated genes and its mRNA regulations to their target genes by sRNA remain to be further verified.
