Bacillus cereus is an important food-borne pathogen causing intoxication via emetic toxin and\/or multiple protein exotoxins. Here, we compared the dynamics of the cellular proteome and exoproteome of emetic B. cereus cells grown at low (16 \u00b0C) and high (30 \u00b0C) temperature. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS\/MS)-based shotgun proteomics analysis identified 2063 cellular proteins and 900 extracellular proteins. Hierarchical clustering following principal component analysis indicated that in B. cereus the abundance of a subset of these proteins\u2014including cold-stress responders, and exotoxins non-hemolytic enterotoxin (NHE) and hemolysin I (cereolysin O (CLO))\u2014decreased at low temperature, and that this subset governs the dynamics of the cellular proteome. NHE, and to a lesser extent CLO, also contributed significantly to exoproteome dynamics; with decreased abundances in the low-temperature exoproteome, especially in late growth stages. Our data therefore indicate that B. cereus may reduce its production of secreted protein toxins to maintain appropriate proteome dynamics, perhaps using catabolite repression to conserve energy for growth in cold-stress conditions, at the expense of virulence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxins12100645","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,7]],"date-time":"2020-10-07T09:12:58Z","timestamp":1602061978000},"page":"645","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Bacillus cereus Decreases NHE and CLO Exotoxin Synthesis to Maintain Appropriate Proteome Dynamics During Growth at Low Temperature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Catherine","family":"Duport","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Avignon University, Biology Department, INRAE, UMR SQPOV, F-84914 Avignon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ludivine","family":"Rousset","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avignon University, Biology Department, INRAE, UMR SQPOV, F-84914 Avignon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9334-4392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B\u00e9atrice","family":"Alpha-Bazin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement M\u00e9dicaments et Technologies pour la Sant\u00e9 (DMTS), Universit\u00e9 Paris Saclay, CEA, INRAE, SPI, 30200 Bagnols-sur-C\u00e8ze, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1589-445X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean","family":"Armengaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D\u00e9partement M\u00e9dicaments et Technologies pour la Sant\u00e9 (DMTS), Universit\u00e9 Paris Saclay, CEA, INRAE, SPI, 30200 Bagnols-sur-C\u00e8ze, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-food-030713-092350","article-title":"Stress adaptation in foodborne pathogens","volume":"6","author":"Begley","year":"2015","journal-title":"Annu.
