Expression, regulation and physiological roles of the five Rsm proteins in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000

Proteins belonging to the RsmA (regulator of secondary metabolism)/CsrA (carbon storage regulator) family are small RNA-binding proteins that play crucial roles post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression in many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Although most of the bacteria stud...

Although most of the bacteria studied have a single RsmA/CsrA gene, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pto) DC3000 encodes five Rsm proteins: RsmA/CsrA2, RsmC/CsrA1, RsmD/CsrA4, RsmE/CsrA3, and RsmH/CsrA5. This work aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the expression of these five rsm protein-encoding genes, elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing their expression, as well as the physiological relevance of each variant. To achieve this, we examined the expression of rsmA, rsmE, rsmC, rsmD, and rsmH within their genetic contexts, identified their promoter regions, and assessed the impact of both their deletion and overexpression on various Pto DC3000 phenotypes. A novel finding is that rsmA and rsmC are part of an operon with the upstream genes, whereas rsmH seems to be co-transcribed with two downstream genes. We also observed significant variability in expression levels and RpoS dependence among the five rsm paralogs. Thus, despite the extensive repertoire of rsm genes in Pto DC3000, only rsmA, rsmE and rsmH were significantly expressed under all tested conditions (swarming, minimal and T3SS-inducing liquid media). Among these, RsmE and RsmA were corroborated as the most important paralogs at the functional level, whereas RsmH played a minor role in regulating free life and plant-associated phenotypes. Conversely, RsmC and RsmD did not seem to be functional under the conditions tested.This research was funded by grant PID2021–122418NB-I00 (funded by MICIU/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 and by “ERDF A way of making Europe”).
