Profiling tRNA modifications in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: Diverse chemical modifications fine-tune the function and metabolism of tRNA. Although tRNA modification is universal in all kingdoms of life, profiles of modifications, their functions, and physiological roles have not been elucidated in most organisms including the human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis. To identify physiologically important modifications, we surveyed the tRNA of Mtb, using tRNA sequencing (tRNA-seq). Reverse transcription-derived error signatures in tRNA-seq predicted the sites and presence of 9 modifications. Several chemical treatments prior to tRNA-seq expanded the number of predictable modifications. Deletion of Mtb genes encoding two modifying enzymes, TruB and MnmA, eliminated their respective tRNA modifications, validating the presence of modified sites in tRNA species.

Gene expression based profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected primary murine osteoclasts.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb) is known to reside in cells of innate immune system- macrophages and dendritic cells. A variety of non -conventional cell typeslike adipocytes, mesenchyal stem cells and osteoclasts can also be infected with Mtb. However, cellular transcriptional adapations enabling survival of Mtb in these cells remain known. We used microarrays to understand global changes in transcriptional profiling during macrophage to osteoclast transition in presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Host cholesterol modulates the generation and enrichment of persisters during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Project description:A worldwide increase in the frequency of multidrug-resistant and extensively-drug-resistant cases of tuberculosis is mainly due to the therapeutic noncompliance associated with a lengthy treatment regimen. This protracted regimen is attributed to a supposedly nonreplicating and metabolically inert subset of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) population, called ‘persisters’. We have earlier reported that the utilization of host cholesterol is essential for Mtb persistence. However, the mechanism underlying stochastic generation and enrichment of persisters is not fully known. In this study, we showed that cholesterol-induced activation of ribonuclease toxin (VapC12) inhibits translation by targeting proT tRNA and is critical for the generation of persisters in a heterogeneous Mtb population. A vapC12-null mutant strain (ΔvapC12) failed to persist and showed hypervirulence in a guinea pig model of tuberculosis. We identify a novel strategy through which cholesterol-specific activation of a toxin–antitoxin (TA) module in Mtb leads to the persister formation during infection. Our study provides an opportunity for targeting persisters, a new paradigm facilitating tuberculosis drug development.

WhiB1 transcriptone in response to NO stress

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiological agent of tuberculosis. Mtb is an efficient pathogen partially due to its ability to adapt to the disparate conditions encountered during the course of infection. NO is one of the potent antimicrobial chemicals produced in hosts to tackle pathogens. Mtb is known to respond swiftly to NO-stress. Since, WhiB1 is [4Fe-4S] cluster containing transcription factor with high sensitivity to NO, we evaluate the role of WhiB1 in regulating the cellular transcriptional profile of Mtb in presence or absence of NO.

Dynamic modification of tRNAs determines pathogenicity in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa [RNA-Seq and Ribo-Seq]

Project description:The overall success of bacterial pathogens depends on the coordinated expression of virulence determinants. Regulatory circuits that drive pathogenesis are complex, multilayered and incompletely understood. Here, we reveal that alterations in tRNA modifications define pathogenic phenotypes in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We demonstrate that the enzymatic activity of GidA leads to the introduction of a carboxymethylaminomethyl modification in selected tRNAs. Modifications at the wobble uridine base (cmnm5U34) of the anticodon alter ribosome occupancy of transcripts enriched in cognate codons of such tRNAs. Specifically, in P. aeruginosa the presence of GidA-dependent tRNA modifications influenced expression of genes encoding virulence regulators, leading to a cellular proteomic shift towards pathogenic and well-adapted physiological states. Our approach of profiling the consequences of chemical tRNA modifications is general in concept. It provides a paradigm of how tRNA modifications govern gene expression programs and regulate phenotypic outcomes responsible for bacterial adaption to changing and challenging habitats prevailing in the host niche.

RNA-Seq analysis for the study "Dynamic modification of tRNAs determines pathogenicity in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa"

Project description:The overall success of a pathogenic microbe depends on the coordinated expression of virulence determinants. Regulatory circuits that drive pathogenesis are complex, multilayered and often not completely understood. Here, we reveal that alterations in tRNA modifications define pathogenic phenotypes in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Growth phase-dependent enzymatic activity of GidA leads to differential introduction of carboxymethylaminomethyl-uridine (cmnm5U34) at uridine 34 of the anticodon of selected tRNAs. Consequently, ribosome occupancy of transcripts enriched in cognate codons of such tRNAs is enhanced. Specifically, the presence of GidA-dependent tRNA modifications influenced expression of genes encoding for virulence factors leading to a cellular proteomic shift towards pathogenic and well adapted physiological states. Our approach of profiling the consequences of chemical tRNA modifications is general in concept and provides a paradigm of how tRNA modifications govern gene expression programs and regulate phenotypic outcomes responsible for bacterial adaption to changing and challenging habitats prevailing in the host niche.

Identification of arginine phosphorylation in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis by shotgun proteomics

Project description:Tuberculosis is a leading cause of worldwide infectious mortality. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections drives an urgent need to exploit new drug targets. One such target is the ATP-dependent protease ClpC1P1P2, which is strictly essential for viability. However, few proteolytic substrates of mycobacterial ClpC1P1P2 have been identified to date. Recent studies in Bacillus subtilis have shown that the orthologous ClpCP protease recognizes proteolytic substrates bearing post-translational arginine phosphorylation. While several lines of evidence suggest that ClpC1P1P2 is similarly capable of recognizing phosphoarginine-bearing proteins, the existence of phosphoarginine modifications in mycobacteria has remained in question. Here, we confirm the presence of post-translational phosphoarginine modifications in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis (Msm), a nonpathogenic surrogate of Mtb. Using a phosphopeptide enrichment workflow coupled with shotgun phosphoproteomics, we identify arginine phosphosites on several functionally diverse targets within the Msm proteome. Interestingly, phosphoarginine modifications are not upregulated by heat stress, suggesting divergent roles in mycobacteria and Bacillus. Our findings provide new evidence supporting the existence of phosphoarginine-mediated proteolysis by ClpC1P1P2 in mycobacteria and other actinobacterial species.

The modification landscape of P. aeruginosa tRNAs

Project description:RNA modifications have a substantial impact on tRNA function. While modifications in the anticodon loop play an important role in translational fidelity, modifications in the tRNA core influence tRNA structural stability. In bacteria, tRNA modifications play important roles in the stress response and expression of virulence factors. While tRNA modifications are well characterized in a few model organisms, our knowledge of tRNA modifications in human pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is lacking. Here we leveraged two orthogonal approaches to build a reference landscape of tRNA modifications in E. coli, which we used to identify tRNA modifications in P. aeruginosa. We determined conservation for many modifications between the two organisms. We also identified potential sites of tRNA modification in P. aeruginosa tRNA that are not present in E. coli. One of these sites is found at the same positions as acacp3U, a modification previously identified in Vibrio cholerae. Identifying which modifications are present on different tRNAs will uncover the pathways impacted by the different tRNA modifying enzymes, some of which may play roles in determining virulence and pathogenicity.

Nε- and O-Acetylation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 7 is Biased Towards Proteins Involved in Growth, Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance

Project description:Protein acetylation is one of the post-translational modifications (PTMs) involved in regulating a myriad of cellular processes in bacteria. Increasing evidence demonstrates that lysine acetylation is involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) virulence and pathogenesis. However, previous reports have detected acetylation at lysine residues using only reference strains. Here, we analyzed the global Nε- and O-acetylation of Mtb lineage 7 clinical isolates and H37Rv. Quantitative acetylome analysis resulted in identification of 2577 class-I acetylation sites derived from 987 proteins. These proteins were found to be involved in central metabolism, translation, stress responses and drug resistance. Interestingly, 261 acetylation sites on 164 proteins were differentially regulated between the two virulent strains. A total of 257 acetylation sites on 160 proteins were hypoacetylated in lineage 7. These proteins are involved in Mtb growth, virulence, energy metabolism, host-pathogen interaction and stress responses. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of exclusively acetylated proteins identified revealed strain-specific enrichment of selected biological processes. Taken together, this study provides the first global analysis of O-acetylated proteins in Mtb. This quantitative acetylome data presents the abundance and diversity of acetylated proteins in Mtb and opens a new avenue of research in exploring the role of protein acetylation in fine-tuning Mtb physiology.

Host cholesterol modulates the generation and enrichment of persister population during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Project description:We previously reported that the utilization of host cholesterol is essential for mycobacterial persistence. In this study, we demonstrated that cholesterol-induced activation of a ribonuclease toxin (VapC12) inhibits translation by targeting proT tRNA in Mtb. The resulting cholesterol-specific growth modulation increases the frequency of the generation of persisters in a heterogeneous Mtb population. A vapC12-null mutant strain (ΔvapC12) failed to persist and demonstrated a hypervirulent phenotype in a guinea pig model of Mtb infection. This is the first study to identify a novel strategy through which cholesterol-specific activation of a toxin–antitoxin (TA) module in Mtb enhances persister formation during infection. In addition to identifying the mechanism, the study provides opportunity for targeting persisters, a new paradigm facilitating tuberculosis drug development.

Differential production of small RNAs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected primary human monocyte-derived macrophages

Project description:Primary human monocytes were isolated from four healthy donors. Monocytes were differentiated into macrophages, infected with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), strain H37Rv, for 24 or 48 hours, at a multiplicity of infection of 5 or 10. Following infection, infected cells and time-matched uninfected controls were harvested, total RNA including small RNAs was isolated and used for next-generation small RNA sequencing. Small RNA sequencing data was processed using miRge2.0, including a novel miRge2.0-based tRF detection tool. Processed data was used to determine differential expression of microRNAs and differential production of tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) during infection with Mtb.
