Shotgun EM of mycobacterial protein complexes during stationary phase stress.


ABSTRACT: There is little structural information about the protein complexes conferring resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to anti-microbial oxygen and nitrogen radicals in the phagolysosome. Here, we expose the model Mycobacterium, Mycobacterium smegmatis, to simulated oxidative-stress conditions and apply a shotgun EM method for the structural detection of the resulting protein assemblies. We identified: glutamine synthetase I, essential for Mtb virulence; bacterioferritin A, critical for Mtb iron regulation; aspartyl aminopeptidase M18, a protease; and encapsulin, which produces a cage-like structure to enclose cargo proteins. After further investigation, we found that encapsulin carries dye-decolourising peroxidase, a protein antioxidant, as its primary cargo under the conditions tested.
