  • Trehalose dimycolate inhibits phagosome maturation and promotes intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth via noncanonical SNARE interactions
Title: Trehalose dimycolate inhibits phagosome maturation and promotes intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth via noncanonical SNARE interactions
Mycobacterial cell envelopes are rich in unusual lipids and glycans that play key roles during infection and vaccination. The most abundant envelope glycolipid is trehalose dimycolate (TDM). TDM compromises the host response to mycobacterial species via multiple mechanisms, including inhibition of phagosome maturation. The molecular mechanism by which TDM inhibits phagosome maturation has been elusive. We find that a clickable, photoaffinity TDM probe recapitulates key phenotypes of native TDM in macrophage host cells and binds several host Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Factor Attachment Proteins Receptor (SNARE) proteins, including Vesicle Transport through Interaction with t-SNAREs 1B (VTI1B), Syntaxin 8 (STX8), and Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein 2 (VAMP2). VTI1B and STX8 normally promote endosome fusion by forming a complex with VAMP8. However, in the presence ofMycobacterium tuberculosis, VTI1B and STX8 complex with VAMP2, which in turn decreases VAMP8 binding. VAMP2 acts together with mycolate structure to inhibit phagosome maturation and promotes intracellularM. tuberculosisreplication. Thus one mechanism by which TDM constrains the innate immune response toM. tuberculosisis via noncanonical SNARE complexation.  more » « less

    ABSTRACT Functional studies of host-microbe interactions benefit from natural model systems that enable the exploration of molecular mechanisms at the host-microbe interface. BioluminescentVibrio fischericolonize the light organ of the Hawaiian bobtail squid,Euprymna scolopes, and this binary model has enabled advances in understanding host-microbe communication, colonization specificity,in vivobiofilms, intraspecific competition, and quorum sensing. The hummingbird bobtail squid,Euprymna berryi,can be generationally bred and maintained in lab settings and has had multiple genes deleted by CRISPR approaches. The prospect of expanding the utility of the light organ model system by producing multigenerational host lines led us to determine the extent to which theE. berryilight organ symbiosis parallels known processes inE. scolopes. However, the nature of theE. berryilight organ, including its microbial constituency and specificity for microbial partners, has not been examined. In this report, we isolated bacteria fromE. berryianimals and tank water. Assays of bacterial behaviors required in the host, as well as host responses to bacterial colonization, illustrate largely parallel phenotypes inE. berryiandE. scolopeshatchlings. This study revealsE. berryito be a valuable comparative model to complement studies inE. scolopes.IMPORTANCEMicrobiome studies have been substantially advanced by model systems that enable functional interrogation of the roles of the partners and the molecular communication between those partners. TheEuprymna scolopes-Vibrio fischerisystem has contributed foundational knowledge, revealing key roles for bacterial quorum sensing broadly and in animal hosts, for bacteria in stimulating animal development, for bacterial motility in accessing host sites, and forin vivobiofilm formation in development and specificity of an animal’s microbiome.Euprymna berryiis a second bobtail squid host, and one that has recently been shown to be robust to laboratory husbandry and amenable to gene knockout. This study identifiesE. berryias a strong symbiosis model host due to features that are conserved with those ofE. scolopes, which will enable the extension of functional studies in bobtail squid symbioses.

    ABSTRACT Quorum sensing (QS) is a population density-dependent mechanism of intercellular communication, whereby microbes secrete and detect signals to regulate behaviors such as virulence and biofilm formation. Although QS is well-studied in bacteria, little is known about cell-cell communication in archaea. The model archaeonHaloferax volcaniican transition from motile rod-shaped cells to non-motile disks as population density increases. In this report, we demonstrate that this transition is induced by a secreted small molecule present in cell-free conditioned medium (CM). The CM also elicits a response from a bacterial QS bioreporter, suggesting the potential for inter-domain crosstalk. To investigate theHfx. volcaniiQS response, we performed quantitative proteomics and detected significant differential abundances of 236 proteins in the presence of CM, including proteins involved in cell structure, motility, glycosylation, and two-component systems. We also demonstrate that a mutant lacking the cell shape regulatory factor DdfA does not undergo shape and motility transitions in the presence of CM, allowing us to identify protein abundance changes in the QS response pathway separate from those involved in shape and motility. In the ∆ddfAstrain, only 110 proteins had significant differential abundance, and comparative analysis of these two proteomics experiments enabled us to identify proteins dependent on and independent of DdfA in the QS response pathway. Our study provides the first detailed analysis of QS pathways in any archaeon, strengthening our understanding of archaeal communication as well as providing the framework for studying intra- and interdomain crosstalk. IMPORTANCEUnderstanding the complex signaling networks in microbial communities has led to many invaluable applications in medicine and industry. Yet, while archaea are ubiquitous and play key roles in nutrient cycling, little is known about the roles of archaeal intra- and interspecies cell-cell communication in environments such as the human, soil, and marine microbiomes. In this study, we established the first robust system for studying quorum sensing in archaea by using the model archaeonHaloferax volcanii. We demonstrated that different behaviors, such as cell shape and motility, are mediated by a signal molecule, and we uncovered key regulatory components of the signaling pathway. This work advances our understanding of microbial communication, shedding light on archaeal intra- and interdomain interactions, and contributes to a more complete picture of the interconnected networks of life on Earth.

    ABSTRACT Bacteria and archaea employ a rudimentary immune system, CRISPR-Cas, to protect against foreign genetic elements such as bacteriophage. CRISPR-Cas systems are found inBombella apis.B. apisis an important honey bee symbiont, found primarily in larvae, queens, and hive compartments.B. apisis found in the worker bee gut but is not considered a core member of the bee microbiome and has therefore been understudied with regard to its importance in the honey bee colony. However,B. apisappears to play beneficial roles in the colony, by protecting developing brood from fungal pathogens and by bolstering their development under nutritional stress. Previously, we identified CRISPR-Cas systems as being acquired byB. apisin its transition to bee association, as they are absent in a sister clade. Here, we assess the variation and distribution of CRISPR-Cas types acrossB. apisstrains. We found multiple CRISPR-Cas types, some of which have multiple arrays, within the sameB. apisgenomes and also in the honey bee queen gut metagenomes. We analyzed the spacers between strains to identify the history of mobile element interaction for eachB. apisstrain. Finally, we predict interactions between viral sequences and CRISPR systems from different honey bee microbiome members. Our analyses show that theB. apisCRISPR-Cas systems are dynamic; that microbes in the same niche have unique spacers, which supports the functionality of these CRISPR-Cas systems; and that acquisition of new spacers may be occurring in multiple locations in the genome, allowing for a flexible antiviral arsenal for the microbe. IMPORTANCEHoney bee worker gut microbes have been implicated in everything from protection from pathogens to breakdown of complex polysaccharides in the diet. However, there are multiple niches within a honey bee colony that host different groups of microbes, including the acetic acid bacteriumBombella apis.B. apisis found in the colony food stores, in association with brood, in worker hypopharyngeal glands, and in the queen’s digestive tract. The roles thatB. apismay serve in these environments are just beginning to be discovered and include the production of a potent antifungal that protects developing bees and supplementation of dietary lysine to young larvae, bolstering their nutrition. Niche specificity inB. apismay be affected by the pressures of bacteriophage and other mobile elements, which may target different strains in each specific bee environment. Studying the interplay betweenB. apisand its mobile genetic elements (MGEs) may help us better understand microbial community dynamics within the colony and the potential ramifications for the honey bee host.

    ABSTRACT Efforts toward microbial conversion of lignin to value-added products face many challenges because lignin’s methoxylated aromatic monomers release toxic C1byproducts such as formaldehyde. The ability to grow on methoxylated aromatic acids (e.g., vanillic acid) has been identified in certain clades of methylotrophs, bacteria characterized by their unique ability to tolerate and metabolize high concentrations of formaldehyde. Here, we use a phyllosphere methylotroph isolate,Methylobacterium extorquensSLI 505, as a model to identify the fate of formaldehyde during methylotrophic growth on vanillic acid.M. extorquensSLI 505 displays concentration-dependent growth phenotypes on vanillic acid without concomitant formaldehyde accumulation. We conclude thatM. extorquensSLI 505 overcomes metabolic bottlenecks from simultaneous assimilation of multicarbon and C1intermediates by allocating formaldehyde toward dissimilation and assimilating the ring carbons of vanillic acid heterotrophically. We correlate this strategy with maximization of bioenergetic yields and demonstrate that formaldehyde dissimilation for energy generation rather than formaldehyde detoxification is advantageous for growth on aromatic acids.M. extorquensSLI 505 also exhibits catabolite repression during growth on methanol and low concentrations of vanillic acid, but no diauxic patterns during growth on methanol and high concentrations of vanillic acid. Results from this study outline metabolic strategies employed byM. extorquensSLI 505 for growth on a complex single substrate that generates both C1and multicarbon intermediates and emphasizes the robustness ofM. extorquensfor biotechnological applications for lignin valorization.IMPORTANCELignin, one of the most abundant and renewable carbon sources on Earth, is a promising alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels used to produce petrochemicals. Degradation of lignin releases toxic C1byproducts such as formaldehyde, and thus most microorganisms are not suitable for biorefining lignin. By contrast,Methylobacterium extorquensSLI 505 is capable of growth on high concentrations of aromatic acids without concomitant formaldehyde accumulation. In addition, we show that the growth ofM. extorquensSLI 505 on aromatic acids is coupled to the production of the bioplastic, polyhydroxybutyrate. Aromatic acids serve as a model by which to understand howM. extorquensSLI 505 balances methylotrophic and heterotrophic pathways during growth to provide strategies for growth optimization when using complex substrates in both ecological and industrial fermentation applications.

    To maintain growth and to successfully reproduce, organisms must protect key functions in specific tissues, particularly when countering pathogen invasion using internal defensive proteins that may disrupt their own developmental processes. The rice immune receptor XA21 confers race-specific resistance againstXanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzae, which causes the deadly disease bacterial leaf blight. Here, we demonstrate that XA21 is cleaved by the rhomboid-like protease OsRBL3b, likely within its transmembrane domain.OsRBL3bmRNA transcripts are preferentially expressed in rice spikelets. Rice plants expressingXa21but lacking a functionalOsRBL3bdisplayed impaired anther dehiscence and pollen viability, resulting in male sterility and yield reduction with high levels of XA21 protein present in spikelets during anthesis. In leaves,osrbl3bmutants expressing XA21 had normal levels of this resistance protein and disease immunity. This balance between reproduction and disease resistance through the specific expression of a rhomboid protease may be key to limiting the detrimental effects of an active immune response and may be useful in future for genetic improvement of crops.
