Gene expression profile of M.tuberculosis espR (Rv3849) mutant

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a pathogen of global importance, utilizes the ESX-1 protein secretion system to export virulence factors that disarm host macrophages. Although this secretory pathway is critical for virulence, how ESX-1 is regulated is completely unknown. Here we show that EspR (Rv3849) is a key regulator of ESX-1. EspR activates transcription of an operon that includes three ESX-1 components, Rv3616c-Rv3614c, whose expression in turn promotes secretion of ESX-1 substrates. Keywords: Strain comparison

Virulence regulator EspR of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a nucleoid-associated protein

Project description:The principal virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the ESX-1 protein secretion system, is positively controlled at the transcriptional level by EspR. Depletion of EspR reportedly affects a small number of genes, both positively or negatively, including a key ESX-1 component, the espACD operon. EspR is also thought to be an ESX-1 substrate. Using EspR-specific antibodies in ChIP-Seq experiments (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by ultra-high throughput DNA sequencing) we show that EspR binds to at least 165 loci on the Mtb genome. Included in the EspR regulon are genes encoding not only EspA, but also EspR itself, the ESX-2 and ESX-5 systems, a host of diverse cell wall functions, such as production of the complex lipid PDIM (phenolthiocerol dimycocerosate) and the PE/PPE cell-surface proteins. EspR binding sites are not restricted to promoter regions and can be clustered. This suggests that rather than functioning as a classical regulatory protein EspR acts globally as a nucleoid-associated protein capable of long-range interactions consistent with a recently established structural model. EspR expression was shown to be growth phase-dependent, peaking in the stationary phase. Overexpression in Mtb strain H37Rv revealed that EspR influences target gene expression both positively or negatively leading to growth arrest. At no stage was EspR secreted into the culture filtrate. Thus, rather than serving as a specific activator of a virulence locus, EspR is a novel nucleoid-associated protein, with both architectural and regulatory roles, that impacts cell wall functions and pathogenesis through multiple genes.

Frequently arising ESX-1 associated phase variants influence Mycobacterium tuberculosis fitness in the presence of host and antibiotic pressures

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) exhibits an impressive ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments, despite its genome’s apparent stability. Recently, phase variation through indel formation in homopolymeric tracts (HT) has emerged as potentially important mechanism promoting adaptation in Mtb. This study examines the impact of common phase variants associated with the ESX1 Type VII secretion system, focusing on a highly variable HT upstream of the ESX1 regulatory factor, espR. By engineering this frequently observed indel into an isogenic background, we demonstrate a single basepair insertion in the espR 5’ UTR causes post-transcriptional upregulation of EspR protein abundance and corresponding alterations in the EspR regulon. Consequently, this mutation increases expression of ESX1 components in the espACD operon and enhances ESX1 substrate secretion. We find that this indel specifically increases isoniazid resistance without impacting the effectiveness of other drugs tested. Furthermore, we show that commonly observed HT indels that regulate either espR translation or espACD transcription increase bacterial fitness in a mouse infection model. The presence of multiple ESX1 associated HTs provides a mechanism to combinatorially tune protein secretion, drug sensitivity, and host-pathogen interactions. More broadly, these findings support emerging data that Mtb utilizes HT-mediated phase variation to strategically direct genetic variation to certain sites across the genome in order to adapt to changing pressures.
