Effect of Nitrosative Stress on the S-nitroso-Proteome of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

ABSTRACT: The fungi of Paracoccidioides spp. genus are the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. This fungus is considered a facultative intracellular pathogen that is able to survive and replicate inside macrophages. The survival of the fungus during infection depends on its adaptability to various conditions, such as nitrosative/oxidative stress produced by the host immune cells, particularly alveolar macrophages. Currently, there is little knowledge about the P. brasiliensis signaling pathways involved in the fungus evasion mechanism of the host defense response. However, it is known that some of these pathways are triggered by reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) produced by host cells. Considering that the effects of NO (nitric oxide) on pathogens are concentration dependent, such effects could alter the redox state of cysteine residues by influencing (activating or inhibiting) a variety of protein functions, notably S-nitrosylation, a highly important NO-dependent posttranslational modification that regulates cellular functions and signaling pathways. It has been demonstrated by our group that P. brasiliensis yeast cells proliferate when exposed to low NO concentrations. Thus, this work investigated the modulation profile of S-nitrosylated proteins of P. brasiliensis, as well as identifying S-nitrosylation sites after treatment with RNS. Through mass spectrometry analysis (LC-MS/MS) and label-free quantification, it was possible to identify 474 proteins in the S-nitrosylated proteome study. With this approach, we observed that proteins treated with NO at low concentrations presented a proliferative response pattern, with several proteins involved in cellular cycle regulation and growth being activated. These proteins appear to play important roles in fungal virulence. On the other hand, proteins stimulated by high NO concentrations exhibited a survival response pattern, which may help to elucidate RNS antifungal properties and identify potential molecular targets for the development of new drugs in the future

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii transmitted via various route and rapidly duplicated during the acute infection, which caused the important zoonosis regarding to medicine and veterinary, toxoplasmosis. T. gondii possessed innate capability of producing nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide derivatives and S-nitrosylation not only participated in their signaling transduction, but also was a regulatory mechanism of protein post-translation. To date, S-nitrosylation proteome of T .gondii remains a mystery. In present study, we reported the first S-nitrosylated proteomic profile in T. gondii using mass spectrometry in combination with resin-assisted enrichment. 637 proteins were found to be S-nitrosylated and more than half of these S-nitrosylated proteins were localized in nucleus or cy-toplasm. Motif analysis identified seven motifs including five motifs containing lysine and two motif harboring isoleucine. GO enrichment revealed that S-nitrosylated proteins were mainly lo-cated in the mitochondrial inner membrane and organelle inner membrane in the cell. Those S-nitrosylated proteins were related with diverse biological and metabolic processes including or-ganic acid binding, carboxylic acid binding ribose and phosphate biosynthetic process. Glycoly-sis/gluconeogenesis and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis were two remarkable pathways in which T. gondii S-nitrosylated proteins engaged. Twenty seven ribosomal proteins and eleven microneme proteins out of 22 secretory proteins were identified as S-nitrosylated proteins, which suggested that proteins in ribosome and microneme were S-nitrosylated with high proportion. PPI analysis identified three subnetworks with high relevancy ribosome, RNA transport and chaperonin com-plex component. These results implied that S-nitrosylated proteins in T. gondii were associated with protein translation in ribosome, gene transcription, invasion and proliferation of T. gondii. Our research firstly identified the S-nitrosylated proteomic profile of T. gondii and will provide a valuable resource for deep-going investigation of the functions of S-nitrosylation in T. gondii.
