CDI stands for contact-dependent inhibition• A bacterial defense and communication strategy
• Injected toxins act as non-specific DNases, RNases, etc.
• Mechanisms for self-strain protection against toxin (CdiI)
Ruhe, Low, & Hayes. Trends in Microbiology (2013)

CDI is composed of 3 genes
• CdiB is a membrane-bound ‘base’ for CdiA
• CdiI is an immunity protein specific for upstream toxin that prevents self-killing
Conserved VENN Sequence
CT - Toxin Sequence
CdiI - Immunity Protein
‘stick’‘base’
Ruhe, Low, & Hayes. Trends in Microbiology (2013)
• CdiA is the ‘stick’ with toxin attached to end, cleaved @ conserved VENN sequence – binds BamA

CT may need a permissive factor to become active
When CT binds CysK (permissive factor), enzymatic activity is enabled
Both CysK and Immunity can bind CT to form a ternary complex

One half of Adenylate Cyclase (T25) fused to protein X, other half (T18) fused to Protein Y
Bacterial two-hybrid systems detect protein-protein interactions
If Proteins X/Y interact, Adenylate Cyclase forms
cAMP production identifies protein-protein interactions

CysK-T25 was made using OE-PCR
CysK (~800bp) T25 (~1000bp)Overlapping PrimersCysK forward primer w/ EcoRI site
T25 reverse primer w/ PstI site
PCR, longer extension period
Fused CysK-T25 product
Fused PCR product ligated into Tetracycline resistant backbone, transformed, checked with restriction analysis:
1.8Kbp = CysK-T25
Linker = Gly-Thr-Gly-Ser

cAMP production turns on gene synthesis
Pap operon is a chromosomal promoter dependent on cAMP – only source of cAMP is
from our system
Gene of interest must be transduced using a
bacteriophage

Bacteriophage steal DNA randomly from a host
Introduce GFP-grown phage to cell line, select for KanR colonies

Bacteria did not glow upon contact – Why?
Linker length may be not be long enough - Ternary vs. Binary
Vs.
Endogenous CysK may be interfering – competitive antagonist
Couldn’t control by transfecting commercial binary two-hybrid construct – Conflicting antibiotic resistances

The Future – a very customizable system
-Contact-dependent bacterial strain – Can include as many immunities as necessary
-Secondary messenger produced –cGMP?
-Gene synthesized – multi-gene cascade systems?
-Antibiotic production? – extremely specific killingThink T-cells
-Strain-specific responses from same bacteria?
