Project description:Burkholderia species are associated with several life-threatening human infections, often resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates due to their innate resistance to antibiotics. To improve clinical outcomes, new therapies targeting conserved, yet unique, Burkholderia pathways are needed. One such pathway is the Burkholderia O-linked protein glycosylation system, essential for virulence in Burkholderia cenocepacia and Burkholderia pseudomallei. This system relies on the O-Glycosylation gene Cluster (OGC), a five-gene cluster sufficient and required for the generation of a trisaccharide β-Gal-(1,3)–α-GalNAc-(1,3)–β-GalNAc used for protein glycosylation, and the distally encoded oligosaccharyltransferase, pglL, responsible for ligating glycans to glycoproteins. Previous work has shown that the OGC cluster can be removed, but individual mutations associated with late-stage glycan biosynthesis are essential. Here, we explore the essentiality of late-stage O-linked glycan biosynthesis in B. cenocepacia, revealing that the completion and translocation of the O-linked trisaccharide is necessary for viability and bacterial fitness. Using inducible systems, we demonstrate toxicity dependent on multiple OGC genes and the initiation of O-linked glycan biosynthesis. Upon loss of late-stage biosynthesis, mutants exhibit notable growth defects and profound sensitivity to stresses. Proteomics and glycoproteomic analysis show that blocking late-stage glycan biosynthesis inhibits protein glycosylation and drives large membrane proteomic changes. Finally, we demonstrate that OGC mediated toxicity is not limited to blockages but can also occur via the overexpression of steps within O-linked glycan biosynthesis. Combined, these findings suggest that the O-linked glycan biosynthesis pathway of B. cenocepacia is extremely sensitive to dysregulation and may be an ideal target for the development of antimicrobial therapies.

Project description:The opportunistic Cystic Fibrosis (CF) pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia is associated with severe lung infections. Within the CF lung, macrophages are both a crucial reservoir and a key mediator of the intense inflammatory response characteristic of B. cenocepacia infections. Despite the importance of macrophages for B. cenocepacia pathogenesis, there is a paucity of insight into how B. cenocepacia internalisation and replication impacts both the host and B. cenocepacia proteomes. A key limitation for understanding the proteomic changes during intracellular replication of B. cenocepacia has been the low infectivity of this pathogen, resulting in the generation of mixed cell populations dominated by uninfected cells within in vitro models. Using antibody-mediated opsonization, we show that by improving the efficiency and uniformity of B. cenocepacia internalization this enhances dual proteomic analysis. Comparing opsonized and non-opsonized infections, we show that changes in both host and internalized B. cenocepacia can be assessed in a single experimental framework. At the proteome level, opsonization dramatically improves the detection of protein changes, enhancing the detection of pro-inflammatory signaling and macrophage activation markers. Utilizing this dual proteomic approach, we assess the impact of the B. cenocepacia type 6 secretion system (T6SS) and the T6SS effector TecA at 3 and 24 hours post infection demonstrating that the presence/activities of the T6SS or TecA do not greatly modulate the proinflammatory response of THP-1 cells. Thus, this work demonstrates a simple means for enhancing proteomic analysis of B. cenocepacia infections enabling dual proteomic studies.
