Characterization and composition of membrane vesicles and secreted proteins in Apilactobacillus kunkeei

ABSTRACT: Secreted particles, including membrane vesicles, have increasingly been recognized as important for bacterial community functions and host-interaction processes, but their specific compositions and functional roles are debated. In this study, we have characterized the secreted particles of Apilactobacillus kunkeei, a defensive symbiont of honeybees. We cultivated A. kunkeei strains A1401 and A0901 and separated the secreted protein particles from the extracellular membrane vesicles using density gradient ultracentrifugation. A proteomics analyses identified more than 500 proteins in each strain, of which 27 to 45 proteins were relatively more abundant in the cell-free supernatant, including glycoside hydrolases and peptidases. The extracellular transcriptome associated with the membrane vesicles contained a relatively higher fraction of mRNAs derived from highly transcribed operons such as those for ribosomal proteins and ATP synthase subunits, whereas highly expressed tRNAs were relatively more abundant in the cellular fraction. Based on these results, we propose that mRNAs for highly expressed proteins are overproduced and that superfluous mRNAs are fragmented, packaged into membrane vesicles and secreted. The results have implications for the utilization of membrane vesicles in A. kunkeei as a delivery tool for small RNA molecules, while also providing more general insights into the role of membrane vesicles in bacteria.

RIP-Seq and RNA-Seq of an RNA-binding protein secreted by Listeria monocytogenes which activates RIG-I signaling

Project description:Secreted bacterial RNAs have recently emerged as a novel host-pathogen interaction mode. Naked RNA molecules are highly labile in the extracellular environment and must be protected by packaging into membrane vesicles or into complexes with RNA binding proteins. RNA secretion through membrane vesicles has been shown for several bacterial species but, surprisingly, proteins that bind and stabilize bacterial RNAs in the extracellular environment have not been reported yet. Here, we show that the bacterial pathogen L. monocytogenes secretes a small RNA binding protein that we named Zea. We show that Zea binds and stabilizes a subset of L. monocytogenes RNA, causing its accumulation in the extracellular medium. Zea modulates L. monocytogenes in vivo. Furthemore, Zea binds the mammalian non-self-RNA innate immunity sensor RIG-I and potentiates RIG-I-signaling during infection. This study provides a mechanism for the stability of extracellular RNA and unveils how secreted bacterial RNAs participate in the host-pathogen crosstalk.

Apilactobacillus kunkeei releases RNA-associated membrane vesicles and proteinaceous nanoparticles

Project description:Extracellularly released particles, including membrane vesicles, have increasingly been recognized as important for bacterial community functions and host-interaction processes, but their compositions and functional roles differ between species and also between strains of the same species. In this study, we have determined the composition of membrane vesicles and protein particles identified in the cell-free pellets of two strains of Apilactobacillus kunkeei, a defensive symbiont of honeybees. The membrane vesicles were separated from the extracellular particles using density gradient ultracentrifugation. The peaks of the RNA and protein distributions were separated from each other and the highest concentration of RNA was observed in the fractions that contained the membrane vesicles while the highest protein concentration coincided with the fractions that contained extracellular particles. A comparative proteomics analysis by LC-MS/MS showed that 37 proteins with type-I signal peptides were consistently identified across the fractionated samples obtained from the cell-free pellets, of which 29 were orthologs detected in both strains. Functional predictions of the extracellular proteins revealed the presence of glycoside hydrolases, glycosyltransferases, giant proteins and peptidases. The extracellular transcriptomes mapped to a broad set of genes with a similar functional profile as the whole cell transcriptome. This study provides insights into the composition of membrane vesicles and extracellular proteins of a bee-associated symbiont.

Characterization of the small RNA content of Trypanosoma cruzi extracellular vesicles

Project description:A growing body of evidence in mammalian cells indicates that secreted vesicles can be used to mediate intercellular communication processes by transferring various bioactive molecules, including mRNAs and microRNAs. Based on these findings, we decided to analyze whether T. cruzi-derived extracellular vesicles contain RNA molecules and performed a deep sequencing and genome-wide analysis of a size-fractioned cDNA library (16M-bM-^@M-^S40 nt) from extracellular vesicles secreted by noninfective epimastigote and infective metacyclic trypomastigote forms. Our data show that the small RNAs contained in these extracellular vesicles originate from multiple sources, including tRNAs. In addition, our results reveal that the variety and expression of small RNAs are different between parasite stages, suggesting diverse functions. Taken together, these observations call attention to the potential regulatory functions that these RNAs might play once transferred between parasites and/or to mammalian host cells. Small RNAs profiles (16-40 nt) of epimastigote-derived extracellular vesicles, metacyclic trypomastigote-derived extracellular vesicles and metacyclic trypomastigote parental cells.

Non-reversible tissue fixation by EDC carbodiimide allows for imaging extracellular vesicles in situ

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted nanosized particles with many biological functions and a broad range of pathological associations. A major technical limitation to understanding the role of EVs in normal and diseased specimens has been the inability to visualize the spatial localization of EVs in tissue microenvironments. Here, we use bovine ocular tissue, the vitreous humor, as a model system to study EV imaging. We show that mammalian tissues crosslinked with conventional formaldehyde solutions result in significant EV loss, with subsequent reduced or negative EV signals; however, EV escape can be prevented by additional fixation with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) that permanently holds these nano-sized particles and allows for visualization of EVs in normal and cancer tissues in situ.

Mouse tumor cells secrete heterogenous particles including EVs, ENPs and VLPs into the extracellular medium - a proteome study

Project description:In addition to soluble proteins, cells secrete various types of membrane-enclosed extracellular vesicles (EVs: exosomes, ectosomes and others) and non-vesicular nanoparticles (ENPs) that are thought to play a role in intercellular communication. We exhaustively characterized the protein composition of secreted EVs and ENPs of murine tumor cell lines, including thorough separation of small EVs from co-isolated virus-like particles.

miRNA profile of exosomes released from PC-3 cells compared to parent cells

Project description:Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles released through fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are any differences in miRNAs in exosomes secreted from the prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and in parent cells, as well as to investigate whether there are any differences in miRNAs in cell lysates from PC-3 cells and the non-cancerous prostate cell line RWPE-1. Exosomes isolated from media of PC-3 cells, RNA isolated from exosomes and parent cells, as well as from RWPE-1 cells. Using 3 biological replicates, 1 replicate per array

Transcription profiling of Schistosoma mansoni lung schistosomulum

Project description:The lung schistosomulum of Schistosoma mansoni is a validated target of protective immunity elicited in vaccinated mice. To identify genes expressed at this stage we constructed a microarray, representing 3088 contigs and singlets, with cDNA derived from in vitro cultured larvae, and used it to screen RNA from seven life cycle stages. Clustering of genes by expression profile across the life cycle revealed a number of membrane, membrane-associated and secreted proteins up-regulated at the lung stage, that may represent potential immune targets. Two promising secreted molecules have homlogy to antigens with vaccine and/or immunomodulatory potential in other helminths.
