Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is primarily a commensal of the human
oropharynx that sporadically causes septicemia and meningitis. Meningococci adapt
to diverse local host conditions differing in nutrient supply, like the
nasopharynx, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid, by changing metabolism and protein
repertoire. However, regulatory transcription factors and two-component systems
in meningococci involved in adaptation to local nutrient variations are limited.
We identified novel sibling small regulatory RNAs ( Neisseriametabolic switch
regulators [NmsRs]) regulating switches between cataplerotic and anaplerotic
metabolism in this pathogen. Overexpression of NmsRs was tolerated in blood but
not in cerebrospinal fluid. Expression of six tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes
was downregulated by direct action of NmsRs. Expression of the NmsRs themselves
was under the control of the stringent response through the action of RelA. Small
sibling regulatory RNAs of meningococci, controlling general metabolic switches,
add an exciting twist to their versatile repertoire in bacterial
pathogens.IMPORTANCE Regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) of pathogens are coming to be
recognized as highly important components of riboregulatory networks, involved in
the control of essential cellular processes. They play a prominent role in
adaptation to physiological changes as represented by different host
environments. They can function as posttranscriptional regulators of gene
expression to orchestrate metabolic adaptation to nutrient stresses. Here, we
identified highly conserved sibling sRNAs in Neisseria meningitidis which are
functionally involved in the regulation of gene expression of components of the
tricarboxylic acid cycle. These novel sibling sRNAs that function by antisense
mechanisms extend the so-called stringent response which connects metabolic
status to colonization and possibly virulence as well as pathogenesis in
meningococci.
