Identification of the WhiB5 regulon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv

ABSTRACT: We used DNA microarrays to define the M. tuberculosis whiB5 regulon and to study the variation of the global transcription profile in response of its induction. For this purpose we constructed a M. tuberculosis strain in which whiB5 was transcribed from an pristinamycin-inducible promoter and its transcriptional profile was compared on DNA microarray with the transcriptional profile of its control strain (empty vector-containing clone). WhiB5 induction for 15’ resulted in the induction of 26 genes, while induction for 3 h resulted in the induction of 58 genes. Interestingly, all of the 26 genes induced after 15 minutes of incubation with pristinamycin were still induced after 3 h of incubation. No repressed genes were identified. Among the induced genes we found the alternative sigma factor SigM and at least 12 genes previously shown to be regulated by this sigma factor, including those encoding the ESX-4 type VII secretion system. Interestingly, also the genes encoding ESX-2 type VII secretion system were strongly induced together with an operon probably involved in hydrogen metabolism in anaerobiosis. 10 representative genes were chosen from the microarray experiments and their expression was measured by quantitative RT-PCR using sigA as invariant internal control. In support to the gene expression profiling data, the mRNA levels of all selected genes was clearly higher in the whiB5 mutant strain relative to control.

In support to the gene expression profiling data, the mRNA levels of all selected genes was clearly higher in the whiB5 mutant strain relative to control. We compared the global gene expression of the whiB5 overexpressing strain and the control strain of Mtb in different conditions: after 15 min of induction or after 3 hours of induction. Hybridizations were performed using RNA extracted from three different biological samples. Each sample was hybridized twice through swap labeling of the respective cDNAs.

Proteomic analysis of the secretome of a esxaA mutant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain

Project description:Extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) aggregates can evade phagocytosis and intracellular host-cell defenses by inducing macrophage killing. We showed that Mtb aggregates require a functional ESX-1 type VII secretion system to induce cell death upon contact with macrophages. We used quantitative proteomics to compare the secretome of a esxA mutant strain with the wild type reference to identify secreted bacteria factors involved in macrophage death induction.

Transcriptional profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis espL deletion mutant

Project description:The ESX-1, type VII, secretion system represents the major virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The ESX-1 cluster comprises approximately twenty genes and encodes a specialized secretion apparatus, which releases effectors into the extracellular milieu. The goal of this study is to understand the role of EspL. We show that EspL, a protein of 115 amino acids, is essential for mediating ESX-1-dependent virulence and for stabilization of EspE, EspF and EspH protein levels. Indeed, an espL knock-out mutant was unable to replicate intracellularly, secrete ESX-1 substrates or stimulate innate cytokine production. Moreover, loss of EspL also leads to downregulation in M. tuberculosis of WhiB6, a redox-sensitive transcriptional activator of ESX-1 genes.

espL deletion mutant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:The ESX-1, type VII, secretion system represents the major virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, one of the most successful intracellular pathogens. Here, by combining genetic and high-throughput approaches, we show that EspL, a protein of 115 amino acids, is essential for mediating ESX-1-dependent virulence and for stabilization of EspE, EspF and EspH protein levels. Indeed, an espL knock-out mutant was unable to replicate intracellularly, secrete ESX-1 substrates or stimulate innate cytokine production. Moreover, proteomic studies detected greatly reduced amounts of EspE, EspF and EspH in the espL mutant as compared to the wild type strain, suggesting a role for EspL as a chaperone. The latter conclusion was further supported by discovering that EspL interacts with EspD, which was previously demonstrated to stabilize the ESX-1 substrates and effector proteins, EspA and EspC. Moreover, loss of EspL also leads to downregulation in M. tuberculosis of WhiB6, a redox-sensitive transcriptional activator of ESX-1 genes. Overall, our data highlight the importance of a so-far overlooked, though conserved, component of the ESX-1 secretion system and begin to delineate the role played by EspE, EspF and EspH in virulence and host-pathogen interaction.

Proteomic analysis of the secretome of selected Mycobacterium tuberculosis Erdman strains

Project description:Extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) aggregates can evade phagocytosis and intracellular host-cell defenses by inducing macrophage killing. We showed that Mtb aggregates require a functional ESX-1 type VII secretion system and production of the surface-exposed lipid phthiocerol dimycocerosate (PDIM) to induce cell death upon contact with macrophages. We used quantitative proteomics to compare the secretome of a panel of Mtb mutant strains that induce or do not induce macrophage death and identified secreted bacteria factors involved in macrophage death induction.

Comparative analysis of the gene expression profiles of M.tuberculosis espR (Rv3849) transposon and knockout mutants

Project description: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
