Complete and ubiquitinated proteome of the Legionella-containing vacuole within human macrophages.

ABSTRACT: Within protozoa or human macrophages Legionella pneumophila evades the endosomal pathway and replicates within an ER-derived vacuole termed the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). The LCV membrane-localized AnkB effector of L. pneumophila is an F-box protein that mediates decoration of the LCV with lysine(48)-linked polyubiquitinated proteins, which is essential for intravacuolar replication. Using high-throughput LC-MS analysis, we have identified the total and ubiquitinated host-derived proteome of LCVs purified from human U937 macrophages. The LCVs harboring the AA100/130b WT strain contain 1193 proteins including 24 ubiquitinated proteins, while the ankB mutant LCVs contain 1546 proteins with 29 ubiquitinated proteins. Pathway analyses reveal the enrichment of proteins involved in signaling, protein transport, phosphatidylinositol, and carbohydrate metabolism on both WT and ankB mutant LCVs. The ankB mutant LCVs are preferentially enriched for proteins involved in transcription/translation and immune responses. Ubiquitinated proteins on the WT strain LCVs are enriched for immune response, signaling, regulation, intracellular trafficking, and amino acid transport pathways, while ubiquitinated proteins on the ankB mutant LCVs are enriched for vesicle trafficking, signaling, and ubiquitination pathways. The complete and ubiquitinated LCV proteome within human macrophages illustrates complex and dynamic biogenesis of the LCV and provides a rich resource for future studies.

Project description:The inflammasome is essential for host defense against intracellular bacterial pathogens, including Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of the severe pneumonia Legionnaires' disease. Inflammasomes recruit and activate caspases, which promote IL-1 family cytokine release and pyroptosis to restrict infection. In mice, interferon (IFN) signaling promotes inflammasome responses against L. pneumophila and other bacteria, in part, through inducing a family of IFN-inducible GTPases known as guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs). Within murine macrophages, IFN promotes the rupture of the L. pneumophila-containing vacuole (LCV), while GBPs are dispensable for vacuole rupture. Instead, GBPs facilitate the lysis of cytosol-exposed L. pneumophila. In contrast, the functions of IFN-γ and GBPs in human inflammasome responses to L. pneumophila are poorly understood. Here, we show that IFN-γ enhances caspase-1- and caspase-4-dependent inflammasome responses to L. pneumophila in human macrophages. We find that human GBP1 is required for these IFN-γ-driven inflammasome responses. Furthermore, we find that GBP1 co-localizes with L. pneumophila and/or LCVs in a type IV secretion system (T4SS)-dependent manner and facilitates damage to the LCV, resulting in increased bacterial access to the host cell cytosol. Our findings reveal species- and pathogen-specific differences in how GBPs function during infection. IMPORTANCE Inflammasomes are essential for host defense against intracellular bacterial pathogens like Legionella, as they activate caspases, which promote cytokine release and cell death to control infection. In mice, interferon (IFN) signaling promotes inflammasome responses against bacteria by inducing a family of IFN-inducible GTPases known as guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs). Within murine macrophages, IFN promotes the rupture of the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), while GBPs are dispensable for this process. Instead, GBPs facilitate the lysis of cytosol-exposed Legionella. In contrast, the functions of IFN and GBPs in human inflammasome responses to Legionella are poorly understood. We show that IFN-γ enhances inflammasome responses to Legionella in human macrophages. Human GBP1 is required for these IFN-γ-driven inflammasome responses. Furthermore, GBP1 co-localizes with Legionella and/or LCVs in a type IV secretion system (T4SS)-dependent manner and promotes damage to the LCV, which leads to increased exposure of the bacteria to the host cell cytosol. Thus, our findings reveal species- and pathogen-specific differences in how GBPs function to promote inflammasome responses.
