Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen requiring iron for its survival and virulence. P. aeruginosa can acquire iron from heme via the heme assimilation system (Has) and Pseudomonas heme uptake (Phu) systems. The Has and Phu systems have non-redundant roles in heme sensing and transport, respectively. However, despite their respective roles heme taken up by either the Has or Phu system is regulated at the metabolic level by the cytoplasmic heme binding protein PhuS, which controls heme flux through the iron-regulated heme oxygenase HemO. Herein, through a combination of CHIP-PCR, EMSA and fluorescence anisotropy we show PhuS binds upstream of the tandem iron-responsive sRNAs prrF1,F2. Furthermore, qPCR analysis of the PAO1 WT and ΔphuS allelic strain shows loss of PhuS abrogates the heme dependent regulation of PrrH. Taken together our data shows PhuS, in addition to its role in regulating extracellular heme metabolism also functions as a transcriptional regulator of the heme-dependent sRNA, PrrH. This dual function of PhuS is central to integrating extracellular heme utilization into the PrrF/PrrH sRNA regulatory network critical for P. aeruginosa adaptation and virulence within the host.
