Context specificity of oxazolidinones-mediated translation inhibition is modulated by antibiotic structure [Ribo-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The oxazolidinone antibiotic linezolid binds to the peptidyl transferase center of the ribosome, where it inhibits a subset of peptide bond formation events. This context-specificity of translation inhibition is dictated by the nature of the amino acid at the penultimate position of the nascent peptide. It remains unknown whether this is a general feature of oxazolidinones and whether it can be modulated by their structural alterations. Here, we show that the oxazolidinone tedizolid also inhibits translation in a context-specific manner, but with dramatically altered selectivity, favoring Ile, His, and Gln as the penultimate residues. Delpazolid, which shares the C5 hydroxymethyl moiety with tedizolid, shows a similar preference. Structural analysis of the ribosome with tedizolid and a stalled nascent peptide showed a compacted, helical conformation of the nascent chain induced by the drug. Our findings reveal that stalling preferences of oxazolidinones can be modulated by structural modifications within this antibiotic class.

Context-specific inhibition of translation by ribosomal antibiotics targeting the peptidyl transferase center

Project description:We report the context-specific activity of two peptidyl transferase targeting antibiotics, chloramphenicol and linezolid. By generating ribosome profiling data in the presence or absence of either chloramphenicol or linezolid we mapped the relative change of ribosome density induced by these antibiotics. We find that both inhibitors preferentially arrest ribosomes that carry either an alanine, serine, or threonine in the penultimate (-1) position of the nascent peptide chain. Additionally ribosomes that carry a glycine in either the P site (0) or A-site (+1) counteract the inhibitory activity of both inhibitors. The context-specific action of chloramphenicol illuminates the operation of the mechanism of inducible resistance that relies on programmed drug-induced translation arrest. In addition, our findings expose the functional interplay between the nascent chain and the peptidyl transferase center.

Structural basis for PoxtA-mediated resistance to Phenicol and Oxazolidinone antibiotics

Project description:PoxtA and OptrA are ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins of the F subtype (ABCF) that confer resistance to oxazolidinone, such as linezolid, and phenicol antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol. PoxtA/OptrA are often encoded on mobile genetic elements, facilitating their rapid spread amongst Gram-positive bacteria. These target protection proteins are thought to confer resistance by binding to the ribosome and dislodging the antibiotics from their binding sites. However, a structural basis for their mechanism of action has been lacking. Here by investigating 5'P mRNA decay intermediates, that provide ribosome protection data, we show that PoxtA protects against Linezolid specific stalls. Furthermore, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of PoxtA in complex with the Enterococcus faecalis 70S ribosome at 2.9–3.1 Å, as well as the complete E. faecalis 70S ribosome at 2.2–2.5 Å. The structures reveal that PoxtA binds within the ribosomal E-site with its antibiotic resistance domain (ARD) extending towards the peptidyltransferase center (PTC) on the large ribosomal subunit. At its closest point, the ARD of PoxtA is still located >15 Å from the linezolid and chloramphenicol binding sites, suggesting that drug release is elicited indirectly. Instead, we observe that the ARD of PoxtA perturbs the CCA-end of the P-site tRNA causing it to shift by ~4 Å out of the PTC, which correlates with a register shift of one amino acid for the attached nascent polypeptide chain. Given that linezolid and chloramphenicol are context-specific translation elongation inhibitors, we postulate that PoxtA/OptrA confer resistance to oxazolidinones and phenicols indirectly by perturbing the P-site tRNA and thereby altering the conformation of the attached nascent chain to disrupt the drug binding site.

Context-specific inhibition of mitochondrial ribosomes by phenicol and oxazolidinone antibiotics

Project description:The antibiotics chloramphenicol (CHL) and oxazolidinones including linezolid (LZD) are known to inhibit mitochondrial translation. This can result in serious, potentially deadly, side effects when used therapeutically. Although the mechanism by which CHL and LZD inhibit bacterial ribosomes has been elucidated in detail, their mechanism of action against mitochondrial ribosomes has yet to be explored. CHL and oxazolidinones bind to the ribosomal peptidyl transfer center (PTC) of the bacterial ribosome and prevent incorporation of incoming amino acids under specific sequence contexts, causing ribosomes to stall only at certain sequences. Through mitoribosome profiling, we show that inhibition of mitochondrial ribosomes is similarly context-specific – CHL and LZD lead to mitoribosome stalling primarily when there is an alanine, serine, or threonine in the penultimate position of the nascent peptide chain. Our findings could help inform the rational development of future, less mitotoxic, antibiotics, which are critically needed in the current era of increasing antimicrobial resistance.

The general mode of translation inhibition by macrolide antibiotics

Project description:Macrolides are clinically important antibiotics thought to inhibit bacterial growth by impeding the passage of newly synthesized polypeptides through the nascent peptide exit tunnel of the bacterial ribosome. Recent data challenged this view by showing that macrolide antibiotics can differentially affect synthesis of individual proteins. In order to understand the general mechanism of macrolide action, we used genome-wide ribosome profiling and analyzed the redistribution of ribosomes translating highly expressed genes in bacterial cells treated with high concentrations of macrolide antibiotics. The metagene analysis indicated that inhibition of early rounds of translation, which would be characteristic of the conventional view of macrolide action, occurs only at a limited number of genes. Translation of most genes proceeds past the 5' proximal codons and can be arrested at more distal codons when the ribosome encounters specific short sequence motifs. The sequence motifs enriched in the sites of arrest are confined to the nascent peptide residues in the peptidyl transferase center but not to the peptide segments that contact the antibiotic molecule in the exit tunnel. This led to the conclusion that the general mode of macrolide action involves selective inhibition of peptide bond formation between specific combinations of donor and acceptor substrates. Additional factors operating in the living cell but not during in vitro protein synthesis may modulate site-specific action of macrolide antibiotics. Comparing ribosome distribution in bacterial cells treated with macrolide antibiotics against the control cells.

Linezolid prevents fibroblast activation and ameliorates tissue fibrosis by inhibition of mitochondrial translation

Project description:Background: Beyond its role as a ribosome-targeting antibiotic, linezolid was recently shown to modulate immune responses by inhibiting mitochondrial translation. Since mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various fibrotic diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc), this study aimed to evaluate the antifibrotic potential of linezolid and delineate its underlying mechanisms in SSc. Methods: The effects of linezolid on fibrotic tissue remodeling were assessed using multiple experimental systems: human dermal fibroblasts, human macrophages, three-dimensional SSc skin equivalents (SScSE), the murine model of sclerodermatous chronic graft-versus-host disease (sclGvHD) and precision-cut skin slices (PCSS) obtained from SSc patients, by RNA sequencing, immunofluorescence, Western Blot and histology. Mitochondrial function was evaluated using Seahorse assays alongside mitochondrial protein synthesis assessments. Results: Linezolid inhibited TGFβ-induced fibroblast activation in cultured human fibroblasts, SScSE, sclGvHD mice and SSc PCSS, as demonstrated by reversal of profibrotic gene expression programs, downregulation of TGFβ, WNT, and JAK-STAT signaling and by reductions in αSMA expression or stress fiber formation, which led to reduced collagen deposition and ameliorated skin or lung fibrosis in vivo. Mechanistically, linezolid induced metabolic alterations by inhibiting mitochondrial translation in fibroblasts to hamper the oxidative phosphorylation, reduce the NAD⁺/NADH ratio and downregulate glycolysis, an essential metabolic pathway for fibroblast activation. Conclusions: This study provides first evidence that inhibiting mitochondrial translation with linezolid ameliorates fibrotic tissue remodeling. Since linezolid is already clinically approved as a reserve antibiotic, these findings hold translational promise and support the use of linezolid as a novel treatment for fibrotic disorders after further validation.

Elucidating the Linezolid response of Staphylococcus aureus USA300 by a holistic study

Project description:The translation inhibitor Linezolid is an important antibiotic of last resort against multiresistant gram-positive pathogens including MRSA. Linezolid is reported to specifically inhibit extracellular virulence factors, but the molecular cause is unknown. To elucidate the physiological response of S. aureus to Linezolid in general and the possible inhibition of virulence factors specifically we performed a holistic study. We added Linezolid to logarithmically growing S. aureus cells and analyzed the Linezolid stress response with transcriptomics, quantitative proteomics and microscopy experiments. As previously observed in studies on other translation inhibitors S. aureus is adapting its protein biosynthesis machinery to the reduced translation efficiency, for example the synthesis of ribosomal proteins is induced. But we also observed unexpected results like a general decline in the amount of extracellular and membrane proteins. In addition cell shape and size changed after Linezolid stress and cell division was diminished. Finally, the chromosome condensed after LZD stress and lost contact to the membrane. sample versus pool design (pool = mixture of equal amounts of all RNA samples analyzed), all RNA samples were isolated as biological triplicates
