Project description:The Rv2745c (clgR) gene encodes a Clp protease gene regulator that is induced in response to a variety of stress conditions and potentially plays a role in Mtb pathogenesis. The isogenic Mtb:ΔRv2745c mutant is significantly more sensitive to in vitro redox stress generated by diamide, relative to wild-type Mtb, implicating a role for ClgR in the management of intraphagosomal redox stress. Redox stress led to dysregulation of the σH regulon in the isogenic mutant, Mtb:ΔRv2745c. Induction of clgR in Mtb and Mtb:ΔRv2745c (comp) did not lead to Clp protease induction, indicating that clgR has additional functions that need to be elucidated. Disruption of genes involved in sulfate assimilation also occurred in the knock out, implicating clgR as a possible regulator of downstream signaling cascades that facilitate Mtb survival.

At different time points, (30, 60 and 90 mins, t=30, t=60 and t=90) following the addition of diamide to M. tuberculosis CDC1551 cultures, RNA was extracted and labeled with Cy5. RNA was also extracted from pre-diamide addition (t=0) time points and labeled with Cy3. These samples were cohybridized on M. tuberculosis CDC1551 whole genome microarrays using biological triplicate samples (i.e. samples derived from three distinct cultures and treatments) and thus three unique datasets were generated for each of the three time points for Mtb. Similar experiments were performed for an isogenic Rv2745c (clgR) mutant in Mtb CDC1551 which was generated by allelic exchange and a complemented strain which was generated by trans-complementation of Rv2745c in the attB locus of the mutant strain, thus restoring the wild type regulation of Rv2745c.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is evolutionarily equipped to resist exogenous reactive oxygen species but shows vulnerability to an increase in endogenous ROS (eROS). Since eROS is an unavoidable consequence of aerobic metabolism, understanding how Mtb manages eROS levels is essential yet needs to be characterized. By combining the Mrx1-roGFP2 redox biosensor with transposon mutagenesis, we identified 368 genes (redoxosome) responsible for maintaining homeostatic levels of eROS in Mtb. Integrating redoxosome with a global network of transcriptional regulators revealed a hypothetical protein (Rv0158) as a critical node managing eROS in Mtb. Disruption of rv0158 (rv0158 KO) impaired growth, redox balance, respiration, and metabolism of Mtb on glucose but not on fatty acids. Importantly, rv0158 KO exhibited enhanced growth on propionate, and the Rv0158 protein directly binds to methylmalonyl-CoA, a key intermediate in propionate catabolism. Metabolite profiling, ChIP-Seq, and gene-expression analyses indicate that Rv0158 manages metabolic neutralization of propionate toxicity by regulating the methylcitrate cycle. Disruption of rv0158 enhanced the sensitivity of Mtb to oxidative stress, nitric oxide, and anti-TB drugs. Lastly, rv0158 KO showed poor survival in macrophages and persistence defect in mice. Our results suggest that Rv0158 is a metabolic integrator for carbon metabolism and redox balance in Mtb.

Project description:WhiB4 regulates expression of anti-oxidant genes and survival of Mtb in resposne to oxidaitve stress. Thus, we did microarray upon exposure to 0.25 mM CHP for Wt Mtb and MtbΔwhiB4 strain complemented with whiB4 gene to study the restoration of gene expression to wild type levels.

Project description:Granulomas are the pathological hallmark of tuberculosis (TB). In individuals latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), the bacteria are thought to reside within the granulomas in a nonreplicating dormant state due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients. However, a portion of these individuals will develop active TB and little is known on the bacterial mechanisms/factors involved in this process. In this study, we found that WhiB4, an oxygen sensor and a transcription factor, plays a critical role in disease progression and reactivation of Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) infection in zebrafish. We show that the whiB4 mutant of M. marinum caused latent infection in adult zebrafish, which is characterized by the stable bacterial loads, constant number of non-necrotized granulomas in fewer organs, and reduced immune responses compared to zebrafish infected with the wild type bacteria or the complemented strain. The mutant bacteria in zebrafish were also less responsive to antibiotic treatments. Moreover, the whiB4 mutant was defective in resuscitation from hypoxia-induced dormancy and that the DosR regulon was dysregulated in the mutant. Taken together, our results suggest that WhiB4 is a major driver of reactivation from latent infection and that WhiB4 is an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutics, which may help to prevent the reactivation of latent infection thereby reducing the incidences of active TB.
