Folate Pathway Disruption Leads to Critical Depletion of Methionine Derivatives in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: In this study, screening efforts identified novel antifolates with potent, targeted activity against whole cell Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of antifolate-treated cultures revealed unique metabolic disruption, including decreased pools of methionine and S-adenosylmethionine. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted up-regulation genes involved in the biosynthesis and utilization of methionine. Supplementation with amino acids or methionine derivatives was sufficient to rescue cultures from MIC-level antifolate treatment. Instead of the “thymineless death” that characterizes folate pathway inhibition in a wide variety of organisms, these data suggest that M. tuberculosis is vulnerable to a critical disruption of the biosynthesis of methionine-derived compounds. These arrays look at the expression profile triggered by exposure to three different anti-folates (WR99210, dimethyl and diethyl methotrexate) in three biological replicates and in a matched set of untreated samples.

Expression Analysis of WR99210-treated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis treated with the DHFR inhibitor WR99210, compared to untreated cells. The antimycobacterial properties of WR99210 are further described in Gerum, A., Ulmer, J., Jacobus, D., Jensen, N., Sherman, D., and C. Sibley. 2002. Novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae screen identifies WR99210 analogues that inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydrofolate reductase. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 46(11):3362-3369 [PMID:12384337] A nine chip experiment in which total RNA was collected from H37Rv after treatment with 100 uM WR99210 for 0, 4, and 24 hours. Three separate cultures/biological replicates were interrogated for both treated and untreated cultures. Labeled cDNA was hybridized to NimbleGen spotted oligo tiling arrays covering both strands of the M. tuberculosis genome at ~200 bp intervals between 60-mer probes.

Hard-wiring in the Plasmodium falciparum transcriptome I

Project description:To help malaria parasites survive unpredictable host immune responses, it is known that genes for surface proteins express stochastically in Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we demonstrate that gene expression for intracellular metabolic functions may be preordained and insensitive to specific metabolic perturbations. In a tightly-controlled, large microarray study involving over 100 hybridizations to isogenic drug-sensitive and drug-resistant parasites, the lethal antifolate WR99210 failed to over-produce RNA for the biochemically and genetically proven target dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS). Beyond the target, this transcriptional obstinacy carried over to the rest of the parasite genome, including genes for target pathways of folate and pyrimidine metabolism. Even 12 hours after commitment to death, the transcriptome remained faithful to evolutionarily entrained paths. A system-wide transcriptional disregard for metabolic perturbations in malaria parasites may contribute to selective vulnerabilities of the parasite to lethal antimetabolites. While large protective metabolic responses were not detected, DNA microarrays helped capture small, but reproducible drug-dependent perturbations within hours of drug exposure. In addition, in Plasmodium cells that had adapted to long-term drug exposure, DNA microarrays revealed new, large genome-wide transcriptional adjustments in the hard-wired transcriptional program itself. Keywords: Plasmodium falciparum treated with WR99210 RNA from P. falciparum Dd2 and B1G9 (WR99210 resistant cell-line) trophozoites that had been treated with 10 nM WR99210 for varying durations (3, 6, 9, 15, 18, 21 and 24h) was hybridized against a common pool of trophozoite RNA from a cognate clone, a culture containing 0.1% (v/v) DMSO lacking drug was used as untreated control, microarray data were obtained from at least four hybridizations using RNA from two independent parasite cultures

Whole genome expression profiling across the asexual life cycle in PfBDP1 knockdown malaria parasites

Project description:To study the bromodomain protein PfBDP1 in the malaria parasite P. falciparum, a transgenic parasite line was generated (PfBDP1DD) in which PfBDP1 was tagged with a haemagglutinin tag and a ligand regulatable FKBP destabilization domain that allowed conditional knockdown of PfBDP1 by removal of the stabilizing ligand Shld1 from cultures. Shld1 was removed 30 hours post invasion (hpi) and the cells allowed to reinvade fresh red blood cells. The effects of PfBDP1 knockdown on gene expression were assessed by transcriptional profiling on microarrays over 6 consecutive time points (8 hour intervals) in the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC). Two condition matched time course experiment, PfBDP1DD ON versus OFF Shld1. Transgenic P. falciparum 3D7 parasites (PfBDP1DD) expressing an endogeneous PfBDP1-HA-DD fusion protein were grown in the presence of 2.5 nM WR99210/500 nM Shld1 (PfBDP1DD_ON) or 2.5 nM WR99210 (PfBDP1DD_OFF). After invasion, RNA was extracted at 6 consectutive time points in 8 hour intervals during the IDC, starting at 4 hpi, and was processed for microarray analysis. Three matched biological replicates were performed for both conditions, independently grown and harvested. Each array represents one RNA sample.
