Project description:Virulence effectors secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) help subvert host immune mechanisms and, therefore, are critical for establishing infection and pathogenesis. However, knowledge in terms of signaling mechanisms that modulate the secretion of virulence factors is sparse. We performed high-throughput secretome, phosphoproteome, and phospho-secretome analysis of Mtb. We combined the analysis with empirical validations to show regulation of mycobacterial secretion through protein phosphorylation. System level PPI network analysis superimposed with the secretome, phosphoproteome, and phospho-secretome profile revealed an intricate relationship between phosphorylation and secretion. At the core of the network was a key virulence factor CFP10. We identified PknA to be the kinase responsible for phosphorylating CFP10. Using genetic tools, we show that phosphomimetic mutation of CFP10 negatively regulates the secretion of virulence mediator ESAT6. Significantly, the dynamics of CFP10 phosphorylation strongly influenced bacterial virulence and survival within macrophages and mice. Together, the results show that the dynamic phosphorylation status of the secretory protein CFP10 regulates the secretion of virulence factors and impacts virulence.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) depends on protein secretion systems for intracellular survival and virulence. The major virulence determinant and ESX-1 dependent effector protein EsxA causes tissue damage and necrosis which promotes spread and dissemination of the bacterium. We developed a fibroblast survival assay (FSA) that exploits this phenotype by selecting for molecules that protect host cells from Mtb-induced lysis. Hit compounds identified in this high-throughput screen blocked the secretion of EsxA thus promoting phagosome maturation which led to substantially reduced bacterial burden in activated macrophages. Target identification studies performed on these drugs led to discovery of a benzothiophene containing histidine kinase inhibitor and a benzyloxybenzylidine hydrazine compound affecting mycobacterial metal ion homeostasis which enabled us to reveal zinc stress as a signal for EsxA secretion. Collectively, this novel drug screening approach can help to tackle the mounting problem of antibiotic-resistant mycobacteria by largely extending the target spectrum of small molecule libraries.

Project description:Virulence effectors secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis help subvert host immune mechanisms and therefore are critical for establishment of infection and pathogenesis. However, knowledge in terms of signaling mechanisms thatmodulate the secretion of virulence factors is sparse. Here using high-throughput mass-spectrometric analysis of mycobacterial secretome,phospho-proteome and phospho-secretome combined with empirical validations, we show an unprecedented regulation of mycobacterial secretion via protein phosphorylation. The intricate relationship between phosphorylation and secretion was revealed by system-level analysis of PPI network superimposed with secretome and phospho-proteome profiles. This study establishes phosphorylation as a keydeterminant of secretion of virulence factors and unveils as yet unexplored targets for therapeutic interventions.

Project description:The dedicated secretion system ESX-1 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis encoded by the extended RD1 region (extRD1) assures export of the ESAT-6 protein and its partner, the 10 kDa culture filtrate protein CFP-10, and is missing from the vaccine strains M.bovis BCG and M.microti. Here, we systematically investigated the involvement of each individual ESX-1 gene in the secretion of both antigens, specific immunogenicity and virulence. ESX-1-complemented BCG and M.microti strains were more efficiently engulfed by bone marrow derived macrophages than controls and this may account for the enhanced in vivo growth of ESX-1 carrying strains. Inactivation of gene pe35 (Rv3872) impaired expression of CFP-10 and ESAT-6 suggesting a role in regulation. Genes Rv3868, Rv3869, Rv3870, Rv3871 and Rv3877 encoding an ATP-dependent chaperone and translocon were essential for secretion of ESAT-6 and CFP-10 in contrast to ppe68 (Rv3873) and Rv3876, whose inactivation did not impair secretion of ESAT-6. A strict correlation was found between ESAT-6 export and the generation of ESAT-6 specific T-cell responses in mice. Furthermore, ESAT-6 secretion and specific immunogenicity were almost always correlated with enhanced virulence in the SCID mouse model. Only loss of Rv3865 and part of Rv3866 did not affect ESAT-6 secretion or immunogenicity, but led to attenuation. This suggests that Rv3865/66 represent a new virulence factor that is independent from ESAT-6 secretion. This study has allowed us to identify new aspects of the extRD1 region of M.tuberculosis and to explore its role in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis.

Project description:The PhoPR two-component system is essential for virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis where it controls expression of approximately 2% of the genes, including those for the ESX-1 secretion apparatus, a major virulence determinant. Mutations in phoP lead to compromised production of pathogen-specific cell wall components and attenuation both ex vivo and in vivo. Using antibodies against the native protein in ChIP-seq experiments (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing) we demonstrated that PhoP binds to at least 35 loci on the M. tuberculosis genome. The PhoP regulon comprises several transcriptional regulators as well as genes for polyketide synthases and PE/PPE proteins. Integration of ChIP-seq results with high-resolution transcriptomic analysis (RNA-seq) revealed that PhoP controls 30 genes directly, whilst regulatory cascades are responsible for signal amplification and downstream effects. The most prominent site of PhoP regulation was located in the intergenic region between rv2395 and PE_PGRS41, where the mcr7 gene codes for a small non-coding RNA (ncRNA). Northern blot experiments confirmed the absence of Mcr7 in the M. tuberculosis phoP mutant as well as low-level expression of the ncRNA in M. tuberculosis complex members other than M. tuberculosis. By means of genetic and proteomic analyses we demonstrated that Mcr7 modulates translation of the tatC mRNA thereby impacting the activity of the Twin Arginine Translocation (Tat) protein secretion apparatus. As a result, secretion of the immunodominant Ag85 complex and the beta-lactamase BlaC is affected, among others. Mcr7, the first ncRNA of M. tuberculosis whose function has been established, therefore represents a missing link between the PhoPR two-component system and the downstream functions necessary for successful infection of the host.
