Proteomic Analyses of Intracellular Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Reveal Extensive Bacterial Adaptations to Infected Host Epithelial Cells.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella species can gain access into nonphagocytic cells, where the bacterium proliferates in a unique membrane-bounded compartment. In order to reveal bacterial adaptations to their intracellular niche, here we conducted the first comprehensive proteomic survey of Salmonella isolated from infected epithelial cells. Among ? 3,300 identified bacterial proteins, we found that about 100 proteins were significantly altered at the onset of Salmonella intracellular replication. In addition to substantially increased iron-uptake capacities, bacterial high-affinity manganese and zinc transporters were also upregulated, suggesting an overall limitation of metal ions in host epithelial cells. We also found that Salmonella induced multiple phosphate utilization pathways. Furthermore, our data suggested upregulation of the two-component PhoPQ system as well as of many downstream virulence factors under its regulation. Our survey also revealed that intracellular Salmonella has increased needs for certain amino acids and biotin. In contrast, Salmonella downregulated glycerol and maltose utilization as well as chemotaxis pathways.

Project description:In the fight against antibiotic resistance, drugs that target resistance mechanisms in bacteria can be used to restore the therapeutic effectiveness of antibiotics. The multidrug resistance efflux complex AcrAB-TolC is the most clinically relevant efflux pump in Enterobacterales and is a target for drug discovery. Inhibition of the pump protein AcrB allows the intracellular accumulation of a wide variety of antibiotics, effectively restoring their therapeutic potency. To facilitate the development of AcrB efflux inhibitors, it is desirable to discover the native substrates of the pump, as these could be chemically modified to become inhibitors. We analyzed the native substrate profile of AcrB in Escherichia coli MG1655 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 using an untargeted metabolomics approach. We analyzed the endo- and exometabolome of the wild-type strain and their respective AcrB loss-of-function mutants (AcrB D408A) to determine the metabolites that are native substrates of AcrB. Although there is 95% homology between the AcrB proteins of S. Typhimurium and E. coli, we observed mostly different metabolic responses in the exometabolomes of the S. Typhimurium and E. coli AcrB D408A mutants relative to those in the wild type, potentially indicating a differential metabolic adaptation to the same mutation in these two species. Additionally, we uncovered metabolite classes that could be involved in virulence of S. Typhimurium and a potential natural substrate of AcrB common to both species.IMPORTANCE Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria pose a global threat to human health. The AcrB efflux pump confers inherent and evolved drug resistance to Enterobacterales, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. We provide insights into the physiological role of AcrB: (i) we observe that loss of AcrB function in two highly related species, E. coli and S. Typhimurium, has different biological effects despite AcrB conferring drug resistance to the same groups of antibiotics in both species, and (ii) we identify potential natural substrates of AcrB, some of which are in metabolite classes implicated in the virulence of S. Typhimurium. Molecules that inhibit multidrug efflux potentiate the activity of old, licensed, and new antibiotics. The additional significance of our research is in providing data about the identity of potential natural substrates of AcrB in both species. Data on these will facilitate the discovery of, and/or could be chemically modified to become, new efflux inhibitors.
