Divergent downstream biosynthetic pathways are supported by L-cysteine synthases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium tuberculosis's autarkic lifestyle within the host involves rewiring its transcriptional networks to combat host-induced stresses. With the help of RNA-seq, we identified Mtb pathways that are upregulated in response to oxidative, nitrosative, acidic, starvation, and surfactant stresses. Genes belonging to sulfur metabolism were found to be significantly upregulated during oxidative stress. Using an integrated approach of microbial genetics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, animal experiments, chemical inhibition, and rescue studies, we investigated the biological role and therapeutic potency of non-canonical L-cysteine synthases, CysM and CysK2. CysM and CysK2 independently facilitate Mtb survival by alleviating host-induced redox stress, suggesting they are not fully redundant within the host. While transcriptome signatures of RvΔcysM and RvΔcysK2 appear similar under normal growth conditions, when subjected to oxidative stress, we identify unique transcriptional signatures. We followed pool size and labelling (34S) of key downstream metabolites viz. mycothione and ergothionine to monitor L-cysteine biosynthesis and utilization, which revealed a significant role of distinct L-cysteine biosynthetic routes on redox stress and homeostasis. With the help of genetic mutants and chemical inhibitors, we show that CysM and CysK2 serve as unique, attractive targets for adjunct therapy to combat mycobacterial infection.

Sensor Systems of KEAP1 Uniquely Detecting Oxidative and Electrophilic Stresses Separately In Vivo

Project description:In the KEAP1-NRF2 stress response system, KEAP1 acts as a sensor for oxidative and electrophilic stresses through formation of S-S bond and C-S bond, respectively. Of the many questions left related to the sensor activity, following three appear important; whether these KEAP1 sensor systems are operating in vivo, whether oxidative and electrophilic stresses are sensed by the similar or distinct systems, and how KEAP1 equips highly sensitive mechanisms detecting oxidative and electrophilic stresses in vivo. To address these questions, we conducted a series of analyses utilizing KEAP1-cysteine substitution mutant mice, conditional selenocysteine-tRNA (Trsp) knockout mice, and human cohort whole genome sequence (WGS) data. The Trsp-knockout provokes severe deficiency of selenoproteins and compensatory activation of NRF2. However, mice lacking homozygously a pair of critical oxidative stress sensor cysteine residues of KEAP1 fail to activate NRF2 in the Trsp-knockout livers. Secondly, this study provides evidence for the differential utilization of KEAP1 sensors for oxidative and electrophilic stresses in vivo. Thirdly, theoretical calculations show that the KEAP1 dimer equips quite sensitive sensor machinery in which modification of a single molecule of KEAP1 within the dimer is sufficient to affect the activity. WGS examinations of rare variants identified seven non-synonymous variants in the oxidative stress sensors in human KEAP1, while no variant was found in electrophilic sensor cysteine residues, supporting the fail-safe nature of the KEAP1 oxidative stress sensor activity. These results provide valuable information for our understanding how mammals respond to oxidative and electrophilic stresses efficiently.

Profiling oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by oxidation of transcription factor Swi6p

Project description:Cell cycle sensing of oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by oxidation of a specific cysteine residue in the transcription factor Swi6p. Yeast cells begin to bud and enter S phase when growth conditions are favourable during G1 phase. When subjected to oxidative stress, cells arrest at G1 delaying entry into the cell cycle allowing repair of cellular damage. Hence, oxidative stress sensing is coordinated with the regulation of cell cycle. We identified a redox sensing cysteine residue in the cell-cycle regulator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Swi6p, at position 404. Mutation of Cys404 to alanine abolished the ability of the cells to arrest at G1 upon treatment by lipid hydroperoxide. By constructing a truncated form of Swi6p, the Cys404 residue was found to be oxidised when cells were subjected to the oxidant. Furthermore, microarray analysis revealed that mutation of Cys404 to alanine led to loss of suppression of G1-cyclins CLN1 and PCL1 when the cells were exposed to lipid hydroperoxide. In conclusion, oxidation of Cys404 serves as a molecular sensor of oxidative stress and inhibits entry into the cell cycle by suppression of G1-cyclin expression. We used a gene expression approach to assess the involvement of Cys404 in oxidative stress by mutating this residue to alanine in order to study whether it contributes to Swi6p, a transcriptional factor, function for redox regulation of the cell cycle. Wild type, swi6-deletant, and swi6 C404A-mutated yeast cells were treated with either linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LoaOOH) or control. Three replicates per group/treatment.

Co-cultivation induces elicitation of unique Fungus-derived Natural products that leads to thiol stress mediated killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [F51]

Project description:Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis has remained a leading cause of death worldwide even after decades of it being declared as global health emergency by the WHO. Newer drugs with novel modes of action are urgently needed to combat the threats imposed by the constantly emerging drug resistant strains. Natural products (NPs) derived anti-mycobacterials appear lucrative because of their complex structural features and unique cellular targets they bind to. Herein, we employed co-cultivation approach to identify cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from fungal genomes eliciting the expression of genes that are silent or poorly transcribed in axenic cultures. Fungi were isolated from sphagnum peat bog samples collected from different regions of North-eastern USA because aspects of this ecological niche reflect the critical microenvironment of the human tuberculosis granuloma and are a natural habitat for slow growing mycobacterial species that compete for limited nutrients with other microbes. Bioactivity-guided assay led us to identify three unique fungal isolates that selectively produce growth inhibitory metabolites during co-cultivation with Mtb. Fungal mRNA sequencing from co-cultured isolates facilitated the identification of elicited Type I Polyketide Synthase BGCs that were silent/cryptic in monoculture conditions. Bioinformatic analyses followed by chemical validation identified these molecules to be patulin, citrinin and nidulalin A. Interestingly, these induced fungal metabolites led to a highly responsive redox-stress homeostasis within Mtb. Our study thus, illustrates a co-cultivation mediated elicitation of unique fungal NPs resulting in a thiol-burst oxidative stress mediated killing of Mtb. We believe that the identification of vulnerable drug targets may yield insights into further understanding of this essential thiol stress mediated killing of the mycobacteria

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2745c Plays an Important Role in Responding to Redox Stress

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.
