Nonsense suppression as a mechanism of genetic complemtation in the opportunistic pathogen Mycobacterium marinum

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the discovery of a novel mechanism of genetic complementation in M. marinum. We found that nonsense suppression was causing genetic complementation. Nonsense suppression was linked to alterations in cell permeability and exposure to the aminoglycoside antibiotic, hygromycin.

Tsc1a knockdown and Mycobacterium marinum infection

Project description:We identify a putative link between miR-126 and the tsc1a signalling pathway resulting in the suppression of permissive macrophage accumulation at early zebrafish-M. marinum granulomas. Mechanistically, we find a detrimental effect of tsc1a expression that renders zebrafish embryos susceptible to higher bacterial burden and increased cell death via mTOR inhibition.

Characterization of the immune response to Mycobacterium marinum infection in zebrafish [mutant 463]

Project description:Mycobacterium marinum infection in zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been widely used to study human tuberculosis because the bacteria causing these two diseases are close relatives. We studied the zebrafish immune response to M. marinum infection through a whole-genome level transcriptome analysis. In addition, we carried out a medium-scale forward genetic screen to identify genes underlying defense mechanisms against M. marinum infection in zebrafish. Our aim was to gain more information about the genetic mechanisms important in the immune defense against human tuberculosis. In this screen, we identified a mutant zebrafish line with impaired resistance to a low-dose M. marinum infection. In this line, the transcriptome analysis at 14 days post infection revealed decreased expression of a gene homologous to human UNC119 which has been shown to have a role in T cell activation.

Targeted pseudouridylation: A novel approach for suppressing nonsense mutations in disease genes

Project description:A large number of genetic diseases are caused by various mutations in specific disease genes. A significant proportion (~15%) of these mutations are nonsense mutations that create a premature termination codon (PTC). Consequently, the Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay (NMD) surveillance pathway degrades a large fraction of PTC-containing mRNA. Translation of the remaining un-degraded PTC-containing mRNA terminates at the PTC, leading to no full-length protein production and hence disease. Therefore, suppressing NMD and translation termination at PTCs becomes an attractive strategy for combating these diseases. This work presents a novel approach, namely targeted PTC pseudouridylation, to suppress nonsense mutations in human cells. By co-transfecting human cells with a PTC-reporter gene and a designer box H/ACA guide RNA gene targeting the PTC, we show that targeted pseudouridylation suppresses both NMD and translation termination at PTCs in the contexts of various disease gene sequences. Furthermore, targeted pseudouridylation exhibits a level of suppression comparable to that of antibiotic treatments, and the suppressive effect is long-lasting in the cell. When targeted pseudouridylation is combined with the antibiotic treatment, a much higher level of suppression is observed. Remarkably, by transfecting a disease model cell line (carrying a chromosomal PTC) with a designer guide RNA gene alone targeting the PTC, we also observe nonsense suppression, suggesting the high potential of this novel approach in treating PTC-associated diseases. Finally, one of the restored full-length proteins is further tested to be functional. Targeted pseudouridylation appears to be the first RNA-directed gene-specific therapeutic approach that suppresses NMD and concurrently promotes PTC read-through.
