Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has evolved numerous antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and is identified as a serious public health threat by the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The glycopeptide vancomycin (VAN) remains a cornerstone of therapy for severe MRSA infections despite increasing reports of therapeutic failure in hospitalized patients with bacteremia or pneumonia. Here we examined the effectiveness of MVs-derived methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA) to counteract vancomycin (VAN). We found that supplementation of a typical MIC assay using bacteriologic and tissue-mimicking media with purified MVs attenuated MRSA susceptibility to VAN but no other examined cell-wall targeting antibiotics. In addition, the purified MVs protected MRSA challenged with sub-therapeutic dosage of VAN against the host’s innate immune system. Additionally, the proteome of MV peptides from VAN exposed MRSA was characterized to determine if protein expression was altered.

Project description:Dehalobacterium formicoaceticum is recognised for its unusual ability to anaerobically ferment dichloromethane (DCM), and a catabolic model has recently been proposed. D. formicoaceticum is currently the only axenic culture representative of its class, the Dehalobacteriia, however much diversity has been revealed in this lineage through recent culture-independent exploration of anoxic habitats. Here we performed a comparative analysis of 10 members of the Dehalobacteriia, representing three orders, and infer that anaerobic DCM degradation is a recently acquired trait only present in some members of the order Dehalobacteriales. Inferred traits common to the class include the use of amino acids as sole carbon sources for growth, energy generation via a remarkable range of putative electron-bifurcating protein complexes, and S-layers. The ability of D. formicoaceticum to grow on serine alone was subsequently confirmed experimentally and a high abundance of the electron-bifurcating protein complexes and S-layer proteins was noted when this organism was grown on DCM. We conclude that members of the Dehalobacteriia are low abundance fermentative scavengers in anoxic habitats.

Project description:The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor A3 (LILRA3) is a soluble protein primarily expressed by peripheral blood monocytes and is abundant in sera of healthy donors. Extracellular LILRA3 is anti-inflammatory and displays neuro-regenerative functions in vitro. However, its intracellular expression, distribution and function(s) remain unknown. Using a combination of high-resolution confocal and super-resolution microscopy, we identified intracellular expression of native LILRA3 in the nucleus of peripheral blood monocytes and in vitro derived macrophages. This unexpected nuclear localisation of LILRA3 was confirmed in LILRA3-GFP transfected HEK293T cells. Western blot of proteins fractionated from primary macrophages and the transfected HEK293T cells confirmed nuclear localisation of the native and expressed LILRA3 proteins. Interestingly, most of the LILRA3 in the nucleus was in a monomeric form like the biologically active secreted protein, while those in the other cellular compartments were mixed monomeric, dimeric, and oligomeric forms. The predominant presence of monomeric LILRA3 in the nucleus was independently corroborated in transfected live HEK293T cells using number and molecular brightness (N&B) analysis method. Immunoprecipitation and Mass spectrometric peptide sequencing studies revealed that nuclear LILRA3 co-immunoprecipitated with several nuclear proteins involved in host protein synthesis machinery via direct interaction to a key multifunctional RNA binding protein, the Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 protein (EWS).

Project description:Isoprene-metabolizing bacteria represent a global regulator for atmospheric isoprene concentrations. Under anoxic conditions, isoprene can be used as an electron acceptor reducing it to methylbutene. This study describes the proteogenomic profiling of an isoprene reducing enrichment culture to identify organisms and genes responsible for the isoprene hydrogenation reaction. A metagenome assembled genome (MAG) of the most abundant (88 % rel. abundance) lineage in the enrichment, Acetobacterium wieringae, was obtained. Comparative proteogenomics and RT-PCR identified a five-gene operon from the A. wieringae MAG upregulated during isoprene reduction. The operon encodes a putative oxidoreductase, three pleiotropic nickel chaperones (HypA, HypA, HypB) and one 4Fe-4S ferredoxin. The oxidoreductase is proposed as the putative isoprene reductase with a binding site for NADH, FAD as well as two pairs of [4Fe-4S]-clusters. Other Acetobacterium strains (A. woodii DSM 1030, A. wieringae DSM 1911, A. malicum DSM 4132 and A. dehalogenans DSM 11527) do not encode the isoprene reduction operon and could not reduce isoprene. Uncharacterized homologs of the putative isoprene reductase are observed across the Firmicutes, Spirochaetes, Tenericutes, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria, suggesting the ability of biohydrogenation of non-functionalized conjugated doubled bonds in other unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Project description:This study characterised the Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphoproteome of classical Bordetella species and examined its role in Bordetella biology and virulence. This study found 70 unique phosphorylated proteins in the classical bordetellae group with a high degree of conservation observed and phosphorylation was a key regulator of Bordetella metabolism with proteins involved in gluconeogenesis, TCA cycle, amino acid and nucleotide synthesis significantly enriched. We also identified the phosphorylation of three key virulence pathways which separates classical from non-classical bordetellae including the type III secretion system, alcaligin synthesis (the primary siderophore produced by Bordetella) and the BvgAS master transcriptional regulatory system for virulence genes in Bordetella. Seven new phosphosites were identified in BvgA with 6 located in the DNA binding domain. Of the 7 new phosphosites, four were not detected in non-classical bordetellae. This suggests that serine/threonine phosphorylation may play an important role in stabilising or destabilising BvgA binding to DNA for fine-tuning of virulence gene expression and that BvgA phosphorylation may be an important factor that separates classical from non-classical bordetellae. This study provides the first insight into the phosphoproteome of classical Bordetella species and the role Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation plays in Bordetella biology and virulence.

Project description:A total of 52 patients were analyzed: 21 of them monoinfected with HCV and 31 coinfected with HIV (HCV/HIV). HCV patients were recruited from Hospital Italiano and Hospital José María Ramos Mejía from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and HCV/HIV patients from Hospital Universitario La Paz, Hospital Infanta Leonor, Hospital Universitario La Princesa, Hospital Puerta de Hierro, from Madrid, Spain. All samples were processed at the National Center for Microbiology (Madrid). Patients were naıve of treatment for HCV. CHC infection was defined by the presence of anti-HCV antibodies in serum and detectable HCV RNA in plasma samples in at least 2 separate occasions. All HIV+ patients had HIV antibodies, CD4+ T-cells counts ≥ 500 cel/mm3 for at least one year before sample collection, and undetectable HIV viral load since they received suppressive antiretroviral treatment (ART) for at least one year. Plasma extracellular vesicles isolation and RNA purification was performed using the ExoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Midi kit (QIAGEN, Cat #77044). EVs were phenol-lysed and total RNA was purified by ethanol-based membrane binding into spin columns. Quality and integrity were evaluated by the Bioanalyzer 2100 with Agilent RNA 6000 Nano kit (Agilent). Small RNA library synthesis and sequencing were performed at Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) at Barcelona (Spain). Small RNA libraries were constructed with Illumina’s TruSeq Small RNA kit v.4 (Illumina) and 50nts (1x50) were sequenced in an Illumina HiSeq2500, with a single read approach.

Project description:The enriched low mass proteome is unexplored as a source of differentiators for diagnosing and monitoring Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) activity, less invasively than colonoscopy and histopathology. Differences in the enriched low mass plasma proteome (<25kDa) were assessed by label-free quantitative mass-spectrometry. A panel of marker candidates were progressed to validation phase and ‘Tier-2’ FDA-level validated quantitative assay. Proteins important in maintaining gut barrier function and homeostasis at the epithelial interface have been quantitated by Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) in plasma and serum including both inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis controls (RA) and non-inflammatory healthy controls (C), ulcerative colitis (UC) and crohn’s disease (CD) patients. Detection by immunoblot confirmed presence at the protein level in serum. Correlation analysis and receiver operator characteristics were used to report the sensitivity and specificity. Five peptides discriminating IBD activity and severity had very little-to-no correlation to Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), white cell or platelet counts. Three of these peptides were found to be binding partners to SPP24 protein alongside other known matrix proteins. These Proteins have the potentially improve effective diagnosis and evaluate IBD activity, reducing the need for more invasive techniques.

Project description:In this study, we address mRNA composition of hepatocyte-like derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), using as cellular model the mouse liver derived cell line MLP29, and primary cell culture of rat hepatocyte (RH) obtained by in vivo liver perfusion. The study shows qualitative characterization of RNA, identification of transcripts and its functional characterization through gene expression array technique. To reach a deeper nowledge in the biology of EVs, we perform RNase protection assay, density gradients matching RNA with typical exosomal protein markers, and capture assays to probe that mRNA was internalized. Aim of the project: To identify transcripts present in extracellular vesicles secreted by Rat hepatocytes primary cell culture and to identify extracellular vesicles secreted by mouse hepatocyte cell line MLP29, and in this case, compare the enrichment of transcripts respect to the cell, to know if the composition in the extracellular vesicles is similar to the cell, or if their composition is not directly determined by the abundance of transcripts in the cell.
