Recovery of Vibrio cholerae polarized cellular organization after exit from a non-proliferating spheroplast state

Résumé

Vibrio cholerae , the causative agent of cholera epidemics, is a rod-shaped bacterium with a highly polarized cellular organization. It can survive harmful growth conditions by entering a non-proliferating spheroplast state, which involves loss of the cell envelope and polarity. How polarized rod organization cells are formed when the spheroplasts exit the non-proliferating state remains largely uncharacterized. To address this question, we investigated how L-arabinose-induced V . cholerae spheroplasts return to growth. We found that de novo morphogenesis started with the elimination of an excess of periplasm, which was immediately followed by cell elongation and the formation of cell branches with a diameter similar to that of normal V . cholerae cells. Periplasm elimination was driven by bifunctional peptidoglycan synthases involved in cell-wall maintenance, the aPBPs. Elongation and branching relied on the MreB-associated monofunctional peptidoglycan synthase PBP2. The cell division monofunctional peptidoglycan synthase FtsI was not involved in any of these processes. However, the FtsK cell division protein specifically targeted the sites of vesicle extrusion. Genetic material was amplified by synchronous waves of DNA replication as periplasmic elimination began. The HubP polarity factor targeted the tip of the branches as they began to form. However, HubP-mediated polarization was not involved in the efficiency of the recovery process. Finally, our results suggest that the positioning of HubP and the activities of the replication terminus organizer of the two V . cholerae chromosomes, MatP, are independent of cell division. Taken together, these results confirm the interest of L-arabinose-induced V . cholerae spheroplasts to study how cell shape is generated and shed light on the de novo establishment of the intracellular organization and cell polarization in V . cholerae .
