CRISPRi-Mediated Silencing of Burkholderia O-Linked Glycosylation Systems Enables the Depletion of Glycosylation Yet Results in Modest Proteome Impacts.

ABSTRACT: The process of O-linked protein glycosylation is highly conserved across the Burkholderia genus and mediated by the oligosaccharyltransferase PglL. While our understanding of Burkholderia glycoproteomes has increased in recent years, little is known about how Burkholderia species respond to modulations in glycosylation. Utilizing CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), we explored the impact of silencing of O-linked glycosylation across four species of Burkholderia; Burkholderia cenocepacia K56-2, Burkholderia diffusa MSMB375, Burkholderia multivorans ATCC17616, and Burkholderia thailandensis E264. Proteomic and glycoproteomic analyses revealed that while CRISPRi enabled inducible silencing of PglL, this did not abolish glycosylation, nor reca
