Abstract：
:Clostridium perfringens SM101 genome encodes three serine proteases (CspA, CspB, and CspC), and genetic evidence indicates that CspB is required for processing of pro-SleC into active SleC, an enzyme essential for degradation of the peptidoglycan cortex during spore germination. In this study, the expression of cspA and cspC, as well as the germination and colony formation by spores of cspAC and cspC mutants of strain SM101, were assessed. We demonstrated that 1) the cspA and cspC genes were expressed as a bicistronic operon only during sporulation in the mother cell compartment of SM101; 2) both cspAC and cspC mutant spores were unable to germinate significantly with either KCl, l-glutamine, brain heart infusion (BHI) broth, or a 1:1 chelate of Ca2+ and dipicolinic acid (DPA); 3) consistent with germination results, both cspAC and cspC mutant spores were defective in normal DPA release; 4) the colony formation by cspAC and cspC mutant spores was ~106-fold lower than that of wild-type spores, although decoated mutant spores yielded wild-type level colony formation on plates containing lysozyme; 5) no processing of inactive pro-SleC into active SleC was observed in cspAC and cspC mutant spores during germination; and finally, 6) the defects in germination, DPA release, colony formation and SleC processing in cspAC and cspC mutant spores were complemented by the wild-type cspA-cspC operon. Collectively, these results indicate that both CspA and CspC are essential for C. perfringens spore germination through activating SleC and inducing cortex hydrolysis.
