Helicobacter pylori from Peruvian amerindians: traces of human migrations in strains from remote Amazon, and genome sequence of an Amerind strain.

ABSTRACT: The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is extraordinary in its genetic diversity, the differences between strains from well-separated human populations, and the range of diseases that infection promotes.Housekeeping gene sequences from H. pylori from residents of an Amerindian village in the Peruvian Amazon, Shimaa, were related to, but not intermingled with, those from Asia. This suggests descent of Shimaa strains from H. pylori that had infected the people who migrated from Asia into The Americas some 15,000+ years ago. In contrast, European type sequences predominated in strains from Amerindian Lima shantytown residents, but with some 12% Amerindian or East Asian-like admixture, which indicates displacement of ancestral purely Amerindian strains by those of hybrid or European ancestry. The genome of one Shimaa village strain, Shi470, was sequenced completely. Its SNP pattern was more Asian- than European-like genome-wide, indicating a purely Amerind ancestry. Among its unusual features were two cagA virulence genes, each distinct from those known from elsewhere; and a novel allele of gene hp0519, whose encoded protein is postulated to interact with host tissue. More generally, however, the Shi470 genome is similar in gene content and organization to those of strains from industrialized countries.Our data indicate that Shimaa village H. pylori descend from Asian strains brought to The Americas many millennia ago; and that Amerind strains are less fit than, and were substantially displaced by, hybrid or European strains in less isolated communities. Genome comparisons of H. pylori from Amerindian and other communities should help elucidate evolutionary forces that have shaped pathogen populations in The Americas and worldwide.

Project description:Dear Sir or Madam, we report an in-depth proteogenomics study of Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 and provide the supporting MS data via ProteomExchange. The study includes 2 biological replicates with 6 different datasets: G1: in-gel digestion with trypsin, replicate 1 G2: in-gel digestion with trypsin, replicate 2 T1: SEC fractionation of low molecular weight (LMW) proteins and subsequent trypsin digestion, replicate 1 T2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent trypsin digestion, replicate 2 A1: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent AspN digestion, replicate 1 A2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent AspN digestion, replicate 2 L1: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent LysC digestion, replicate 1 L2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent LysC digestion, replicate 2 In our proteogenomics approach, we could identify four previously missing protein annotations and were able to correct sequences of six protein coding regions. Furthermore we identified signal peptidase cleavage sites for 72 different proteins. MGFs were generated by Maxquant 1.1 [1] using recalibration of peptide parent masses. For PRIDE (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride) submission, we made an additional database search with Mascot and X!Tandem using the SearchGUI [2]. Therefore we searched against a NCBI database of H. pylori strain 26695 complemented with the sequence corrections, signal peptide cleavage sites and missing annotations with the same configurations as described in materials and methods. For pride xml export we used the software PeptideShaker (http://code.google.com/p/peptide-shaker/). The complemented database has entries which will be submitted to the UniProtKB via SPIN. The entries have the according SPIN number as accession number. The NCBI accession numbers for the shortened sequences due to signal peptide cleavage are extended with “_1”. The fasta database is added to the submission.
