The ubiquitin ligase CBL and Fas-associated factor 2 cooperate to regulate the innate immune response to M. tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: As a first line of host defense, macrophages must be able to effectively sense and respond to diverse types of pathogens, and while a particular response may be beneficial in some circumstances, it can be detrimental in others. Upon infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) induces proinflammatory cytokines and activates antibacterial responses. Surprisingly, Mtb also triggers antiviral responses that actually hinder the ability of macrophages to restrict Mtb growth. In Mtb-infected macrophages, the ubiquitin ligase CBL suppresses antiviral responses and preserves the antibacterial capacity of the macrophage. However, the mechanisms by which CBL regulates immune signaling are unknown. We found that CBL controls responses to multiple immune stimuli and broadly suppresses the expression of antiviral response genes. We used mass-spectrometry to identify potential CBL substrates, and found, in total, over 46,000 ubiquitylated peptides in Mtb-infected macrophages, including roughly 400 peptides with CBL-dependent ubiquitylation. We then performed genetic interaction analysis of CBL and its putative substrates, and identified the Fas associated factor 2 (FAF2) adapter protein as a key signaling molecule downstream of CBL. Together, these analyses reveal thousands of new ubiquitin-mediated signaling events and identify an important new regulator immune signaling.

IL-36/LXR axis modulates cholesterol metabolism and immune defense to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a life-threatening pathogen in humans. Bacterial infection of macrophages usually triggers strong innate immune mechanisms, including IL-1 cytokine secretion. The newer member of the IL-1 family, IL-36, was recently shown to be involved in cellular defense against Mtb. To unveil the underlying mechanism of IL-36 induced antibacterial activity, we analyzed its role in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism, together with the involvement of Liver X Receptor (LXR) in this process. Here we report that, in Mtb-infected macrophages, IL-36 signaling modulates cholesterol biosynthesis and efflux via LXR. Moreover, IL-36 induces the expression of cholesterol-converting enzymes and the accumulation of LXR ligands, such as oxysterols. Ultimately, both IL-36 and LXR signaling play a role in the regulation of antimicrobial peptides expression and in Mtb growth restriction. These data provide novel evidence for the importance of IL‑36 and cholesterol metabolism mediated by LXR in cellular host defense against Mtb.

Unique-region phosphorylation targets LynA for rapid degradation, tuning its expression and signaling in myeloid cells

Project description:The activity of Src-family kinases (SFKs), which phosphorylate immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs), is a critical factor regulating myeloid-cell activation. In a previous paper (Freedman et al., 2015) we showed that the SFK LynA is uniquely susceptible to rapid ubiquitin-mediated degradation in macrophages, functioning as a rheostat regulating signaling. We now report the mechanism by which LynA is preferentially targeted for degradation and how cell specificity is built into the LynA rheostat. Using genetic, biochemical, and quantitative phosphopeptide analyses, we found that the E3 ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl preferentially targets LynA via a phosphorylated tyrosine (Y32) in its unique region. This distinct mode of c-Cbl recognition depresses steady-state expression of LynA in macrophages. Mast cells, however, express little c-Cbl and have correspondingly high LynA. Upon activation, mast-cell LynA is not rapidly degraded, and SFK-mediated signaling is amplified relative to macrophages. Cell-specific c-Cbl expression therefore builds cell specificity into the LynA checkpoint.

Genome-wide screen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages revealed GID/CTLH complex-mediated modulation of bacterial growth

Project description:The eukaryotic GID/CTLH complex is a highly conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in a broad range of biological processes. However, a role of this complex in host antimicrobial defenses has not been described. We exploited Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) induced cytotoxicity in macrophages in a FACS based CRISPR genetic screen to identify host determinants of intracellular Mtb growth restriction. Our screen identified 5 (GID8, YPEL5, WDR26, UBE2H, MAEA) of the 10 predicted members of the GID/CTLH complex as determinants of intracellular growth of both Mtb and Salmonella serovar Typhimurium. We show that the antimicrobial properties of the GID/CTLH complex knockdown macrophages are mediated by enhanced GABAergic signaling, activated AMPK, increased autophagic flux and resistance to cell death. Meanwhile, Mtb isolated from GID/CTLH knockdown macrophages are nutritionally starved and oxidatively stressed. Our study identifies the GID/CTLH complex activity as broadly suppressive of host antimicrobial responses against intracellular bacterial infections.

in vitro ubiquitination by E3 ligase Cbl-b

Project description:Fungal infections claim an estimated 1.5 million lives every year. Mechanisms that protect from fungal infections are still elusive. Recognition of fungal pathogens relies on C-type lectin receptors (CLR) and their downstream signaling kinase SYK. Here we report that the E3-ubiquitin-ligase CBL-B controls proximal C-type lectin receptor signaling in macrophages and dendritic cells. We show that CBL-B associates with SYK and ubiquitinates SYK, Dectin-1, and Dectin-2 upon fungal recognition. Functionally, CBL-B deficiency results in increased inflammasome activation, enhanced reactive oxygen species production, and increased fungal killing. Genetic deletion of Cblb protects mice from morbidity caused by cutaneous infection and markedly improves survival upon a lethal systemic infection with Candida albicans. Based on these findings, we engineered a cell-permeable CBL-B inhibitory peptide that protects mice from lethal C. albicans infections. We thus describe a key role for Cblb in the regulation of innate anti-fungal immunity and establish a novel paradigm for the treatment of fungal sepsis.

Effect of phenylalanine-rich peptide on growth and survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb)

Project description:During our efforts to isolate potantial binding partners of Esat6, we isolated few peptides rich in phenylalanine residues that strongly interacted with Esat6. All peptides were less than fifty amino acids in length, One of them, Hcl1, when expressed in mycobacteria showed significant retardation in growth and survival within macrophages. Microarray analysis showed that Hcl1 affects a host of genes and cellular pathways. RNA was isolated from exponentially growing mycobacteria containing either plasmid vector pVV16 encoding peptide or vector pVV16 alone. Comparisons were made between Experimental (Mtb/Hcl1) and control (Mtb/pVV16) samples by extracting raw intensity values from multiple arrays.

Immunopeptidomics reveals determinants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen presentation on MHC class I (DDA data)

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a leading cause of infectious disease mortality worldwide for which no sufficiently protective vaccine exists. CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity to TB, but the antigenic targets presented on MHC-I by macrophages infected with virulent Mtb for recognition by CD8+ T cells have not been conclusively defined. Here, we use mass spectrometry to directly identify Mtb-derived peptides presented on MHC class I (MHC-I) by infected primary human monocyte-derived macrophages. We identified 16 MHC-I peptides derived from 12 Mtb proteins, and validated these identifications using internal standard parallel reaction monitoring (SureQuant). Our results show that this set of antigens is highly enriched for substrates of type VII secretion systems (T7SS) relative to the Mtb proteome. Our results identify specific Mtb proteins that may be suitable targets for subunit vaccines designed to elicit protective CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity and suggest that T7SS substrates may be a fruitful class of antigens to prioritize for further vaccine target discovery efforts. Note: donors labeled A, C, D, E, H, and I in file names here are renamed sequentially (A, B, C, D, E, and F) in the manuscript describing this study to avoid confusion.

Human memory CD4+ T cells recognize Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages amid broader pathogen-specific responses [scRNA-seq]

Project description:CD4+ T cell-mediated control of tuberculosis (TB) requires recognition of macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Yet not all Mtb-specific T cells recognize infected macrophages. Using infected monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and autologous memory CD4+ T cells from individuals with latent Mtb infection (LTBI), we isolate and quantify CD4+ T cells activated in response to infected macrophages. We use T cell antigen receptor (TCR) sequencing to determine the total and unique Mtb-specific TCR clonotypes linked to recognition of infected macrophages, and find that a subset required exogenous antigen exposure, suggesting incomplete recognition. Clonotypes specific for multiple Mtb antigens, and other pathogens, were also identified. We use bulk TCRb deep sequencing from total CD4+ T cells isolated from 10x106 PBMCs from each participant to determine the natural circulating frequencies of relevant TCR clonotypes. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to examine the effector functions of CD4+ T cells in response to infected macrophages. Mtb-specific clonotypes expressed signature effector functions dominated by IFNg, TNF, IL-2, and GM-CSF or chemokine production and signaling. We propose TB vaccines that elicit T cells specific for T7SS substrates, recognize infected macrophages, and express canonical effector functions will offer protection against TB.

E3 ubiquitin ligase DTX2 reinforces innate antiviral immune responses by modulating K63-linked ubiquitination of TBK1

Project description:TBK1 plays a pivotal role in innate antiviral immunity, serving as a critical mediator downstream of various pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). TBK1 activity is tightly regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs) including ubiquitination to maintain innate immune homeostasis. Here, we identify the Deltex E3 ubiquitin ligase 2 (DTX2) as a positive regulator of innate antiviral signaling in response to RNA viruses. We find that DTX2 overexpression enhances antiviral signaling, whereas loss of DTX2 evidently reduces antiviral responses. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that DTX2 directly interacts with TBK1 and promotes TBK1 K63-linked polyubiquitination to regulate antiviral signaling. Collectively, our study reveals that DTX2 plays a novel positive regulatory role in antiviral signaling by modulating the K63-linked ubiquitination of TBK1 to maintain the balance of innate antiviral immune responses.

SLAMF1 is regulated by macrophage-CD4 T cell contact and confers protection to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:CD4 T cells are crucial for protective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Because CD4 T cell protection depends upon direct interaction with infected macrophages, we sought to identify contact-dependent protective factors. We discovered that direct contact with antigen-specific CD4 T cells drives signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 1 (SLAMF1/CD150) expression on macrophages. SLAMF1 is a cell-surface receptor that mediates homotypic interactions between hematopoietic cells, interacts with microbes, and promotes macrophage antimicrobial responses. In mice, SLAMF1 expression was induced on Mtb-infected myeloid cells in a T cell-dependent manner and partially impaired in autophagy-deficient macrophages. In non-human primates, antigen presentation by lung macrophages induced SLAMF1 expression in a manner that correlated with T cell abundance and vaccine protection. Finally, in mice SLAMF1 limited Mtb burden and inflammatory responses during Mtb infection. We conclude that SLAMF1 is a T cell contact-dependent factor in macrophages that contributes to host protection from TB.
