Project description:Galactan polymer is a prominent component of the mycobacterial cell wall core. Its biogenesis starts at the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane by a build-up of the linker disaccharide [rhamnosyl (Rha) – N-acetyl-glucosaminyl (GlcNAc) phosphate] on the decaprenyl-phosphate carrier. This decaprenyl-P-P-GlcNAc-Rha intermediate is extended by two bifunctional galactosyl transferases, GlfT1 and GlfT2 and then is translocated to the periplasmic space by an ABC transporter Wzm-Wzt. Cell wall core synthesis is then finalized by the action of an array of arabinosyl transferases, mycolyl transferase and ligases that catalyse an attachment of the arabinogalactan polymer to peptidoglycan through the linker region. Earlier studies proposed that galactan polymerization takes place in a specific region of the mycobacterial cell envelope, the so-called PMf domain (plasma membrane free of cell wall components) or intracellular membrane domain (IMD), which localises to the polar region of mycobacterium based on visualization of the GlfT2 enzyme fused with fluorescent tags. In this work, we examined the activity of the galactan-producing cellular machine in the enzyme fractions (cell envelope and plasma membrane) from Mycobacterium smegmatis in the cell-free system using radioactively labelled substrate (UDP-[14C]-Galactose). We found that despite a high abundance of GlfT2 in both these fractions, galactan is produced only in the reaction mixtures containing the cell envelope fraction. Our findings open the discussion about the regulation of GlfT2 with two plausible alternatives: (i) posttranslational modifications and (ii) interactions with other proteins forming an active complex.

Project description:Tuberculosis, caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a worldwide public health threat. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is capable of resisting of various stresses in host cells including high levels of ROS and copper ions. To better understand the resistance mechanisms of mycobacteria to copper, we generated a copper-resistant strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis, mc2155-Cu from the selection of copper sulfate treated-bacteria. The mc2155-Cu strain has the 5-fold higher resistance to copper sulfate and the 2-fold higher resistance to isoniazid (INH) than its parental strain mc2155, respectively. Quantitative proteomics was carried out to find differentially expressed proteins between mc2155 and mc2155-Cu. Among 345 differentially expressed proteins, copper-translocating P-type ATPase was up-regulated, while all other ABC transporters were down-regulated in mc2155-Cu, suggesting copper-translocating P-type ATPase plays a crucial role in copper resistance. Results also indicated that the down-regulation of metabolic enzymes and decreases in cellular NAD, FAD, mycothiol, and glutamine levels in mc2155-Cu were responsible to its slow growth rate as compared to mc2155. Down-regulation of KatG2 expression in both protein and mRNA levels indicates the co-evolution of copper and INH resistance in copper resistance bacteria, and provides new evidences to understanding of the molecular mechanisms of survival of mycobacteria under stress conditions.

Project description:This work characterizes a P.aeruginosa strain with low levels of c-di-GMP resultant from the overexpression of the phosphodiesterase PA2133. Phenotypic characterization showed that biofilm formation, adhesion to epitheliel cells, and motility are severely impaired in this strain. We applied both, DIGE / MALDI-TOF/TOF and shotgun LC/MS/MS quantitative proteomic analysis to exoproteome and enriched membrane protein fractions. Results from both complementary strategies were in agreement and revealed motility, type III secretion, and chemotaxis to be the main affected processes by PA2133 overexpression. These results are the first to show that flagella synthesis, twitching motility, and chemotaxis are negatively regulated by low c-di-GMP levels in P.aeruginosa and thus confront our current undertsandings of c-di-GMP signalling.

Project description:Cap1p, a transcription factor of the basic region-leucine zipper family, regulates oxidative stress response (OSR) in Candida albicans. Alteration of its C-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD) results in Cap1p nuclear retention and transcriptional activation. To better understand the function of Cap1p in C. albicans, we used genome-wide location profiling (ChIP-on-chip) to identify its transcriptional targets in vivo. A triple-hemagglutinin epitope was introduced at the C-terminus of wild-type Cap1p (Cap1p-HA3) or hyperactive Cap1p with an altered CRD (Cap1p-CSE-HA3). Location profiling using whole-genome oligonucleotide tiling microarrays identified 89 targets bound by Cap1p-HA3 or Cap1p-CSE-HA3 (binding ratio â?¥ 2-fold, P â?¤ 0.01). Strikingly, Cap1p binding was not only detected at the promoter region of its target genes but also at their 3'-end and within their open-reading frame, suggesting that Cap1p may associate with the transcriptional or the chromatin remodeling machinery to exert its activity. Overrepresented functional groups of the Cap1p targets (P â?¤ 0.02) included 11 genes involved in OSR (CAP1, GLR1, TRX1, SOD1, CAT1, others), 13 genes involved in response to drugs (PDR16, MDR1, FLU1, YCF1, FCR1, others), 4 genes involved in phospholipid transport (PDR16, GIT1, RTA2, orf19.932) and 3 genes involved in the regulation of nitrogen utilization (GST3, orf19.2693, orf19.3121), suggesting that Cap1p has other cellular functions in addition to OSR. Bioinformatic analyses of the bound sequences suggest that Cap1p recognizes the DNA motif 5'- MTKASTMA. Finally, transcriptome analyses showed that increased expression generally accompanies Cap1p binding at its targets, indicating that Cap1p functions as a transcriptional activator. Processing of raw data from 3 independent replicate samples for each Cap1 dataset was conducted using Tilescope (http://tilescope.gersteinlab.org:8080/mosaic/pipeline.html). Quantile normalization was applied to the data. The parameters used were as follows: window size of 400 bp, MaxGap of 60 bp and MinRun of 120 bp. The replicate data were combined and peak-finding (i.e. Cap1p-binding sites) was determined using the following criteria: pseudo-median signal threshold of â?¥ 2-fold and p-value cut-off of â?¤ 0.01.

Project description:CarD is an essential mycobacterial protein that we had previously shown to bind the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and affect the transcriptional profile of M. smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For this reason, we suspected that CarD was directly regulating transcriptional complexes but we did not know at what stage of CarD was functioning and at which genes CarD interacted with the RNAP. To determine in which stage of the transcription cycle (initiation, elongation, or termination) CarD acts, we used Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) to survey the distribution of CarD throughout the M. smegmatis chromosome. Specific antibodies targeting core RNAPb, RNAPσ, or a hemagglutinin (HA) epitope fused to CarD (CarD-HA) were used to co-immunoprecipitate associated DNA. CarD-HA was immunoprecipitated from the M. smegmatis Mc2155 ΔcarD attB::tetcarD-HA strain and unfused HA was immunoprecipitated from the Mc2155 attB::pmsg431 strain with monoclonal antibodies specific for HA (Sigma). RNAP β and σ were immunoprecipitated from M. smegmatis ΔcarD attB::tetcarD-HA with monoclonal antibodies specific for these subunits (Neoclone, Madison, WI; 8RB13 for β, 2G10 for σ). Co-precipitated DNA was sequenced using a SOLiD sequencer (Life Technologies), which provided sufficient reads for 100-fold coverage of the genome. The number of sequence reads per base pair was normalized to the total number of reads and expressed as a log2 value. The reads per base pair from the HA-alone sample served as the background and was subtracted from the other datasets. We found that CarD was never present on the genome in the absence of RNAP. However, whereas RNAP core enzyme was found throughout transcribed regions of the genome, CarD was primarily associated with promoter regions and highly correlated with RNAPσ. The colocalization of σA and CarD led us to propose that in vivo, CarD associates with RNAP initiation complexes at most promoters and is therefore a global regulator of transcription initiation. The genome sequences associated with M. smegmatis CarD, RNAPb, and RNAPs were determined by ChIP-seq analysis. Samples were done in duplicate, except for RNAPs. And sequencing was performed using a SOLiD sequencer (Life Technologies).

Project description:PII proteins are signal transduction proteins that belong to a widely distributed family involved in modulating various bacterial metabolisms. These homotrimeric proteins carry a flexible loop, known as the T-loop, whose conformation changes upon recognition of key metabolites such as ADP, ATP, and 2-oxoglutarate. PII proteins interact with various partners to primarily regulate nitrogen pathways, and in some organisms, they can also control carbon metabolism by interacting with the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP), a critical component of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) enzyme complex, inhibiting its activity and consequently reducing fatty acid biosynthesis. In mycobacteria, only one PII protein has been identified; however, its physiological role remains unknown. In this study, we constructed a M. smegmatis deletion mutant, ∆MsPII, which exhibited growth deficiency when nitrate and nitrite were the sole nitrogen sources, leading to nitrite accumulation in the culture supernatant.

Project description:Neutrophils have emerged as diverse regulators of tissue states, displaying functions in both the resolution and promotion of tissue inflammation. While neutrophils have widely been associated with tumor promotion, immune suppression, and poor patient outcome, we provide evidence to support direct tumor cytotoxic properties of neutrophils. Using various models of murine breast cancer; we establish that TLR-mediated engagement, combined with complex I inhibition, within the breast tumor microenvironment, acting either directly or indirectly on neutrophils, primes these innate immune cells to acquire direct tumor killing properties, both in vitro and in vivo, and independently of CD8+ T cell immunity. TLR engagement stimulates emergency granulopoiesis, increasing levels of neutrophils in the circulation and infiltrating into tumors without inducing the formation of a pro-metastatic niche. Mechanistically, we show that systemic administration of various TLR agonists, while increasing systemic inflammation, elevates NFB signalling in neutrophils, to contribute to their tumoricidal functions. Moreover, using bulk- and single-cell RNA sequencing, along with proteomics approaches, we show that neutrophils which are trained to acquire these anti-tumorigenic functions both enhance secretory granule production and increase expression NADPH-oxidase machinery. Concomitantly, these tumoricidal neutrophils increase production of toxic levels of reactive oxygen species, which can be overcome with myeloperoxidase inhibitors or overexpression of ROS scavengers. Taken together, we describe a new class of neutrophils that possess direct and intrinsic tumoricidal functions, which can be exploited to eradicate immune cold breast tumors which otherwise are refractory to standard immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint blockade.

Project description:Cyanide is stoichiometrically produced as a co-product of the ethylene biosynthesis pathway, and it is detoxified by the b-cyanoalanine synthase enzyme. The molecular and phenotypical analysis of T-DNA insertional mutants of the mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1 suggests that discrete accumulation of cyanide is not toxic for the plant and does not alter mitochondrial respiration rates, but does act as a strong inhibitor of root hair development. The cys-c1 null allele is defective in root hair formation and accumulates cyanide in root tissues. The root hair defect is phenocopied in wild type plants by the exogenous addition of cyanide to the growth medium and is reversed by the addition of hydroxocobalamin. Hydroxocobalamin not only recovers the root phenotype of the mutant, but also the formation of ROS at the initial step of the root hair tip. Transcriptional profile analysis of the cys-c1 mutant reveals that cyanide accumulation acts as a repressor signal for several genes encoding enzymes involved in cell wall rebuilding and the formation of the root hair tip, as well as genes involved in ethylene signaling and metabolism. Our results demonstrate that mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase activity is essential to maintain a low level of cyanide for proper root hair development. Using Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of roots of the cys-c1 and wild type plants. Total RNA was extracted from roots of 14-days-old plants grown under identical conditions on MS medium (three biological replicates for each genotype), and these samples were used to prepare complementary RNA and and analyzed using the Affymetrix-Arabidopsis ATH1GeneChip array.
