Project description:The microbiome contributes to the development and maturation of the immune system. In response to commensal bacteria, intestinal CD4+ T lymphocytes differentiate into functional subtypes with regulatory or effector functions. Whereas the development of small intestine intraepithelial lymphocytes that express CD4 and CD8aa homodimers (CD4IELs) depends on the microbiota, the identity of the microbial antigens recognized by CD4+ T cells that can differentiate into CD4IELs remains unknown. We identified B-hexosaminidase, a conserved enzyme across commensals of the Bacteroidetes phylum, as a driver of CD4IEL differentiation. In a mouse model of colitis, B-hexosaminidase-specific lymphocytes protected against intestinal inflammation. Thus, T cells of a single specificity can recognize a variety of abundant commensals and elicit a regulatory immune response at the intestinal mucosa.

Project description:In Gram-negative bacteria, lipoproteins are major components of the outer membrane (OM) where they play a variety of roles, from the involvement in β-barrel assembly to virulence. Bacteroidetes, a widespread phylum of Gram-negative bacteria, including free-living organisms, commensals and pathogens, encode an exceptionally high number of outer membrane lipoproteins. These proteins are crucial in this phylum mainly because they are key components of SUS-like nutrient acquisition systems as well as of the Type IX secretion and gliding motility machineries. The transport of lipoproteins to the OM has mainly been studied in E. coli and relies on the Lol system, composed of the inner membrane extraction machinery LolCDE, the periplasmic carrier LolA and the OM lipoprotein LolB. While most Lol proteins are essential and conserved across Gram-negative bacteria, to date, no LolB homologs have been identified outside of γ- and β-proteobacteria. How lipoproteins reach and are inserted in the OM of Bacteroidetes is not known. Here we identified LolB homologs in Bacteroidetes and disclosed the co-existence of several LolA and LolB homologs in several species. We provide evidence that LolA1 and LolB1 of F. johnsoniae are devoted to targeting gliding and T9SS lipoproteins to the OM. A proteomic analysis of the OM composition of the lolA1 and lolB1 deletion strain supports this evidence. Furthermore, we show that, while LolB1 and LolA1 have conserved functions in Bacteroidetes, they are partially functionally different from their E. coli counterparts. We also show that surface lipoprotein transport is LolA and LolB independent. Finally, the finding that, in the absence of LolA and LolB homologs, lipoproteins still localize to the OM, strongly suggests the presence in Bacteroidetes of a yet unidentified Lol-alternative transport pathway. In conclusion, Bacteroidetes seem to have evolved different and probably more complex lipoprotein transport pathways than other Gram-negative bacteria and further research is required to uncover their complexity.

Project description:The major function of B lymphocytes is to sense antigens and to produce protective antibodies after activation. This function requires the expression of a B-cell antigen receptor (BCR), and evolutionary conserved mechanisms seem to exist that ensure that B cells without a BCR do not develop nor survive in the periphery. Here, we show that the loss of BCR expression on Burkitt lymphoma cells leads to decreased mitochondrial function and impaired metabolic flexibility. Strikingly, this phenotype does not result from the absence of a classical Syk-dependent BCR signal but rather from compromised ER expansion. We show that the reexpression of immunoglobulins (Ig) in the absence of the BCR signaling subunits Igα and Igβ rescues the observed metabolic defects. We demonstrate that immunoglobulin expression is needed to maintain ER homeostasis not only in lymphoma cells but also in resting B cells. Our study provides evidence that the expression of BCR components, which is sensed in the ER and shapes mitochondrial function, represents a novel mechanism of metabolic control in B cells.

Project description:The BAM (b-barrel assembly machinery) complex is an evolutionarily conserved, multiprotein machine that catalyses the folding and membrane insertion of newly synthesised b-barrel outer membrane (OM) proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Based on Proteobacteria, bacterial BAM is also structurally conserved, with an essential BamAD core and up to three auxilliary periplasmic lipoproteins of poorly defined function. Here we show, using structural biology, quantitative proteomics and functional assays, that the BAM complex is radically different within the Bacteroidetes, a large and important phylum widely distributed within the environment and animal microbiomes. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) structures of the BAM complexes from the human gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and the human oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis show similar, seven-component complexes of ~325 kDa in size with most of the mass in the extracellular space. In addition to canonical BamA and BamD, the complexes contain an integral OM protein named BamF that is essential and intimately associated with BamA, plus four surface-exposed lipoproteins (SLPs) named BamG-J. Together, BamF-J form a large, extracellular dome that likely serves as an assembly cage for the b-barrel-SLP complexes that are a hallmark of the Bacteroidetes. Our data suggest that BAM functionality in Bacteroidetes is substantially extended from that in Proteobacteria and underscores the importance of studying non-Proteobacteria for a more complete understanding of fundamental biological processes.
