Abstract	The type III secretion system (TTSS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is induced in vivo upon contact with eukaryotic cells and in vitro by calcium depletion in culture medium. We have observed a previously identified protein, PsrA, necessary for full activation of TTSS gene expression in P. aeruginosa. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that recombinant PsrA could bind to the exsCEBA promoter region. A mutant with a deletion in the psrA gene was constructed. Using transcriptional fusions, we demonstrated that PsrA is required for the full activation of transcription of the TTSS regulatory operon exsCEBA and effector exoS, although the deletion mutant still responded to calcium depletion, to serum, and to host cell contact. The psrA mutant showed a marked decrease in the secretion of the type III effectors and weak resistance to phagocyte-like PLB-985 cells. The defect in TTSS transcription and secretion in the psrA mutant could be complemented by expression in trans of psrA. PsrA was previously identified as a transcriptional activator of RpoS, a central regulator during stationary phase. We confirmed with our strain that RpoS has a negative effect on TTSS gene expression. Taken altogether, these results suggest that PsrA is a newly identified activator that is involved in the expression of the TTSS by enhancing the exsCEBA transcriptional level.
