NirD can limit the RelA-dependent accumulation of (p)ppGpp.

(A) Schematic representation of the genetic assay using ASKA library to identify genes that in multiple copies would suppress the growth defect associated with toxic over-accumulation of (p)ppGpp. Question marks denote a putative candidate that limits RelA-dependent accumulation of (p)ppGpp. (B) NirD suppresses the growth defect associated with RelA overproduction. Wild-type E. coli MG1655 cells were co-transformed with the plasmid derivatives pBbS2k-relA and pEG25-nirD inducible by anhydrotetracycline (aTc) and isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), respectively. Serial dilutions of stationary-phase cultures were spotted on NA plates containing the indicated concentrations of inducers. Additional controls and inducer concentrations are shown in Figure 1—figure supplement 1A. The results are representative of three independent experiments with similar results. (C, D) In vivo (p)ppGpp dynamic in E. coli MG1655 cells carrying pBbS2k-relA and pEG25-nirD after consecutive expression of the relA and nirD genes using 100 ng/mL aTc and 1 mM IPTG, respectively. Nucleotides extracted from samples collected at the indicated times were separated by thin layer chromatography. The autoradiogram (C) is representative of three independent experiments, and the curves of the relative levels of (p)ppGpp (D) are represented as the means of the three independent experiments, the error bars depicting the SDs.

Determination of Δ(lag phase).

The Δ(lag phase) corresponds to the time that separates the growth recovery of the wild-type (WT) (lag phase [WT]) from that of the ΔnirD or nirDE50K (lag phase [ΔnirD, nirDE50K]). For each strain, the duration of the lag phase was calculated for an OD600nm corresponding to the entry into the exponential growth phase. The equation for this calculation was estimated by linear regression on the log phase of each growth curve. The source data are provided for the Δ(lag phase) in Figure 3E, which are represented as the means and SDs of at least three experiments.

(B) Growth assay of E. coli MG1655 cells co-transformed with the plasmid derivatives pBbS2k-relA and pEG25-nirD or pEG25-nirBD inducible by anhydrotetracycline (aTc) and isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), respectively. Serial dilutions of stationary-phase cultures were spotted on NA plates containing the indicated concentrations of inducers. The results are representative of three independent experiments. (C) Growth curves of wild-type (WT) cells, ΔnirD, and nirDE50K mutants under anaerobiosis in defined glycerol minimal medium supplemented with nitrate as the sole electron acceptor and as the sole nitrogen source (see Materials and methods). Under nitrate respiration, nitrate is converted to nitrite, which is subsequently converted to ammonium (NH4) by the cytosolic NADH-dependent nitrite reductase NirBD. Bacteria can then utilize NH4 as nitrogen source. Therefore, an active NADH-dependent nitrite reductase activity is required for anaerobic growth when nitrate is the sole nitrogen source (Wang et al., 2019b).
