Distinct mechanisms of the human mitoribosome recycling and antibiotic resistance.

ABSTRACT: Ribosomes are recycled for a new round of translation initiation by dissociation of ribosomal subunits, messenger RNA and transfer RNA from their translational post-termination complex. Here we present cryo-EM structures of the human 55S mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome) and the mitoribosomal large 39S subunit in complex with mitoribosome recycling factor (RRF_mt) and a recycling-specific homolog of elongation factor G (EF-G2_mt). These structures clarify an unusual role of a mitochondria-specific segment of RRF_mt, identify the structural distinctions that confer functional specificity to EF-G2_mt, and show that the deacylated tRNA remains with the dissociated 39S subunit, suggesting a distinct sequence of events in mitoribosome recycling. Furthermore, biochemical and structural analyses reveal that the molecular mechanism of antibiotic fusidic acid resistance for EF-G2_mt is markedly different from that of mitochondrial elongation factor EF-G1_mt, suggesting that the two human EF-G_mts have evolved diversely to negate the effect of a bacterial antibiotic.

A distinct assembly pathway of the human 39S late pre-mitoribosome.

Project description:Assembly of the mitoribosome is largely enigmatic and involves numerous assembly factors. Little is known about their function and the architectural transitions of the pre-ribosomal intermediates. Here, we solve cryo-EM structures of the human 39S large subunit pre-ribosomes, representing five distinct late states. Besides the MALSU1 complex used as bait for affinity purification, we identify several assembly factors, including the DDX28 helicase, MRM3, GTPBP10 and the NSUN4-mTERF4 complex, all of which keep the 16S rRNA in immature conformations. The late transitions mainly involve rRNA domains IV and V, which form the central protuberance, the intersubunit side and the peptidyltransferase center of the 39S subunit. Unexpectedly, we find deacylated tRNA in the ribosomal E-site, suggesting a role in 39S assembly. Taken together, our study provides an architectural inventory of the distinct late assembly phase of the human 39S mitoribosome.

Antibiotic resistance mechanisms of Myroides sp.

Project description:Bacteria of the genus Myroides (Myroides spp.) are rare opportunistic pathogens. Myroides sp. infections have been reported mainly in China. Myroides sp. is highly resistant to most available antibiotics, but the resistance mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Current strain identification methods based on biochemical traits are unable to identify strains accurately at the species level. While 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing can accurately achieve this, it fails to give information on the status and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, because the 16S rRNA sequence contains no information on resistance genes, resistance islands or enzymes. We hypothesized that obtaining the whole genome sequence of Myroides sp., using next generation sequencing methods, would help to clarify the mechanisms of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance, and guide antibiotic selection to treat Myroides sp. infections. As Myroides sp. can survive in hospitals and the environment, there is a risk of nosocomial infections and pandemics. For better management of Myroides sp. infections, it is imperative to apply next generation sequencing technologies to clarify the antibiotic resistance mechanisms in these bacteria.

Environmental and Pathogenic Carbapenem Resistant Bacteria Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant Harbour Distinct Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms.

Project description:Wastewater treatment plants are important reservoirs and sources for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance into the environment. Here, two different groups of carbapenem resistant bacteria-the potentially environmental and the potentially pathogenic-were isolated from both the wastewater influent and discharged effluent of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant and characterized by whole genome sequencing and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among the potentially environmental isolates, there was no detection of any acquired antibiotic resistance genes, which supports the idea that their resistance mechanisms are mainly intrinsic. On the contrary, the potentially pathogenic isolates presented a broad diversity of acquired antibiotic resistance genes towards different antibiotic classes, especially β-lactams, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones. All these bacteria showed multiple β-lactamase-encoding genes, some with carbapenemase activity, such as the blaKPC-type genes found in the Enterobacteriaceae isolates. The antibiotic susceptibility testing assays performed on these isolates also revealed that all had a multi-resistance phenotype, which indicates that the acquired resistance is their major antibiotic resistance mechanism. In conclusion, the two bacterial groups have distinct resistance mechanisms, which suggest that the antibiotic resistance in the environment can be a more complex problematic than that generally assumed.

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of Clostridioides difficile.

Project description:Clostridioides difficile (CD) is one of the top five urgent antibiotic resistance threats in USA. There is a worldwide increase in MDR of CD, with emergence of novel strains which are often more virulent and MDR. Antibiotic resistance in CD is constantly evolving with acquisition of novel resistance mechanisms, which can be transferred between different species of bacteria and among different CD strains present in the clinical setting, community, and environment. Therefore, understanding the antibiotic resistance mechanisms of CD is important to guide optimal antibiotic stewardship policies and to identify novel therapeutic targets to combat CD as well as other bacteria. Epidemiology of CD is driven by the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Prevalence of different CD strains and their characteristic resistomes show distinct global geographical patterns. Understanding epidemiologically driven and strain-specific characteristics of antibiotic resistance is important for effective epidemiological surveillance of antibiotic resistance and to curb the inter-strain and -species spread of the CD resistome. CD has developed resistance to antibiotics with diverse mechanisms such as drug alteration, modification of the antibiotic target site and extrusion of drugs via efflux pumps. In this review, we summarized the most recent advancements in the understanding of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in CD and analysed the antibiotic resistance factors present in genomes of a few representative well known, epidemic and MDR CD strains found predominantly in different regions of the world.

Comparison of Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms in Antibiotic-Producing and Pathogenic Bacteria.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance poses a tremendous threat to human health. To overcome this problem, it is essential to know the mechanism of antibiotic resistance in antibiotic-producing and pathogenic bacteria. This paper deals with this problem from four points of view. First, the antibiotic resistance genes in producers are discussed related to their biosynthesis. Most resistance genes are present within the biosynthetic gene clusters, but some genes such as paromomycin acetyltransferases are located far outside the gene cluster. Second, when the antibiotic resistance genes in pathogens are compared with those in the producers, resistance mechanisms have dependency on antibiotic classes, and, in addition, new types of resistance mechanisms such as Eis aminoglycoside acetyltransferase and self-sacrifice proteins in enediyne antibiotics emerge in pathogens. Third, the relationships of the resistance genes between producers and pathogens are reevaluated at their amino acid sequence as well as nucleotide sequence levels. Pathogenic bacteria possess other resistance mechanisms than those in antibiotic producers. In addition, resistance mechanisms are little different between early stage of antibiotic use and the present time, e.g., β-lactam resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. Lastly, guanine + cytosine (GC) barrier in gene transfer to pathogenic bacteria is considered. Now, the resistance genes constitute resistome composed of complicated mixture from divergent environments.

A defect in cell wall recycling confers antibiotic resistance and sensitivity in Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:WalKR is a two-component system that is essential for viability in Gram-positive bacteria that regulates the all-important autolysins. Here we show a T101M mutation in walR confers a defect in autolysis, a thickened cell wall and decreased sensitivity to antibiotics that target the lipid II cycle, a phenotype that is reminiscent of the clinical resistance form known as vancomycin intermediate-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Importantly, this is accompanied by dramatic sensitization to tunicamycin. We demonstrate that this phenotype is due to partial collapse of a pathway consisting of autolysins, AtlA and Sle1, a transmembrane sugar permease, MurP, and GlcNAc recycling enzymes, MupG and MurQ. We suggest that this causes a shortage of substrate for MraY causing it to be hypersensitive to competitive inhibition by tunicamycin. This constitutes a new molecular model for antibiotic sensitivity in S. aureus and a promising new route for antibiotic discovery.

Bacterial AmpD at the crossroads of peptidoglycan recycling and manifestation of antibiotic resistance.

Project description:The bacterial enzyme AmpD is an early catalyst in commitment of cell wall metabolites to the recycling events within the cytoplasm. The key internalized metabolite of cell wall recycling, beta-D-N-acetylglucosamine-(1-->4)-1,6-anhydro-beta-N-acetylmuramyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-meso-DAP-D-Ala-D-Ala (compound 1), is a poor substrate for AmpD. Two additional metabolites, 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl-peptidyl derivatives 2a and 2c, served as substrates for AmpD with a k(cat)/K(m) of >10(4) M(-1) s(-1). The enzyme hydrolytically processes the lactyl amide bond of the 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl moiety. The syntheses of these substrates and other ligands are reported herein, which made the characterization of the enzymic reaction possible. Furthermore, it is documented that the enzyme is specific for both the atypical peptide stem of the cell wall fragments and the presence of the sterically encumbered 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl moiety; hence it is a peptidase with a unique function in bacterial physiology. The implications of the function of this catalyst for the entry into the cell wall recycling events and the reversal of induction of the production of beta-lactamase, an antibiotic resistance determinant, are discussed.

Human GTPBP10 is required for mitoribosome maturation.

Project description:Most steps on the biogenesis of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome) occur near the mitochondrial DNA nucleoid, in RNA granules, which contain dedicated RNA metabolism and mitoribosome assembly factors. Here, analysis of the RNA granule proteome identified the presence of a set of small GTPases that belong to conserved families of ribosome assembly factors. We show that GTPBP10, a member of the conserved Obg family of P-loop small G proteins, is a mitochondrial protein and have used gene-editing technologies to create a HEK293T cell line KO for GTPBP10. The absence of GTPBP10 leads to attenuated mtLSU and mtSSU levels and the virtual absence of the 55S monosome, which entirely prevents mitochondrial protein synthesis. We show that a fraction of GTPBP10 cosediments with the large mitoribosome subunit and the monosome. GTPBP10 physically interacts with the 16S rRNA, but not with the 12S rRNA, and crosslinks with several mtLSU proteins. Additionally, GTPBP10 is indirectly required for efficient processing of the 12S-16S rRNA precursor transcript, which could explain the mtSSU accumulation defect. We propose that GTPBP10 primarily ensures proper mtLSU maturation and ultimately serves to coordinate mtSSU and mtLSU accumulation then providing a quality control check-point function during mtLSU assembly that minimizes premature subunit joining.

Cell-Wall Recycling of the Gram-Negative Bacteria and the Nexus to Antibiotic Resistance.

Project description:The importance of the cell wall to the viability of the bacterium is underscored by the breadth of antibiotic structures that act by blocking key enzymes that are tasked with cell-wall creation, preservation, and regulation. The interplay between cell-wall integrity, and the summoning forth of resistance mechanisms to deactivate cell-wall-targeting antibiotics, involves exquisite orchestration among cell-wall synthesis and remodeling and the detection of and response to the antibiotics through modulation of gene regulation by specific effectors. Given the profound importance of antibiotics to the practice of medicine, the assertion that understanding this interplay is among the most fundamentally important questions in bacterial physiology is credible. The enigmatic regulation of the expression of the AmpC β-lactamase, a clinically significant and highly regulated resistance response of certain Gram-negative bacteria to the β-lactam antibiotics, is the exemplar of this challenge. This review gives a current perspective to this compelling, and still not fully solved, 35-year enigma.
