Aspergillus flavus infects the human eye leading to keratitis. Extracellular proteins, the earliest proteins that come in contact with the host and virulence related exoproteins, were identified in the fungus isolated from infected cornea. Virulence of the corneal isolates was tested in the Galleria mellonella larvae model and those isolates showing higher virulence were taken for subsequent exoproteome analysis. High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to ...[more]

A seven-transmembrane methyltransferase catalysing N-terminal histidine methylation of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Project description:Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are oxidative enzymes that help break down lignocellulose, making them highly attractive for improving biomass utilization in biotechnological purposes. The catalytically essential N-terminal histidine (His1) of LPMOs is post-translationally modified by methylation in filamentous fungi to protect them from auto-oxidative inactivation, however, the responsible methyltransferase enzyme is unknown. Using mass-spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics in combination with systematic CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screening in Aspergillus nidulans, we identified the N-terminal histidine methyltransferase (NHMT) encoded by the gene AN4663. Targeted proteomics confirmed that NHMT was solely responsible for His1 methylation of LPMOs. NHMT is predicted to encode a unique seven-transmembrane segment anchoring a soluble methyltransferase domain. Co-localization studies showed endoplasmic reticulum residence of NHMT and co-expression in the industrial production yeast Komagataella phaffii with LPMOs resulted in His1 methylation of the LPMOs. This demonstrates the biotechnological potential of recombinant production of proteins and peptides harbouring this unique post-translational modification.

Genome-wide ChIP seq analysis of Aspergillus nidulans reveals deregulation of fungal nitrogen metabolism triggered by Streptomyces rapamycinicus

Project description:Mining of fungal genomes uncovered their great potential for the production of novel secondary metabolites (SMs). However most of them stay silent under standard laboratory cultivation conditions. Co-cultivation of fungi with organism that occur in their natural habitat has shown to be trigger for the activation of such silent SM gene clusters. Recently, we showed that the cultivation of Aspergillus nidulans with the bacterium Streptomyces rapamycinicus leads to the activation of the orsellinic acid gene cluster. Hence we decided to study this interaction further to gain insight into the regulation of SM gene clusters and more specifically to study the chromatin remodelling network actuve upon co-cultivation of the two organisms. This study gives novel insight into the regulation of the orsellinic acid gene cluster and the interaction of the two organisms. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of mapping the chromatin landscape of microbial interactions, making this study a role model for the analysis of similar systems.

Inducer Free Cellulase Secretion in Neurospora Crassa and comparitive analysis of cellulase induction in Aspergillus nidulans

Project description:Purpose: To explore conservation of gene regulation by the transcription factor clr-2/clrB in Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans Methods: mRNA from wild type and clr-2/clrB mutants were collected after a culture shift from sucrose/glucose to Avicel (crystaline cellulose) or no carbon media Results: We show that N. crassa and A. nidulans have similair global transcriptional responses to Avicel, with several hundred genes showing specific induction, though the induced genes are more specifically targeted at cellulose for N. crassa and more targeted at hemicellulose and pectin for A. nidulans. clr-2/clrB has a conserved fundamental function in cellulose induction, though the mechanism has diverged. Misexpression of clr-2 is sufficeint for inducer free cellulase secretion in N. crassa, but neither clrB or heterologous clr-2 is sufficient for inducer free cellulase secretion in A. nidulans. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates a conserved and essential role in cellulose utilization for the transcription factor clr-2 in filamentous ascomycetes and demonstrates that manipulation of clr-2 expression can be used to control cellulase expression in some species. Biological triplicates of liquid culture N. crassa and A. nidulans were harvested at 4 hours and 6 hours, respectively, after a switch to media of interest. Global mRNA abundances from liquid cultures of N. crassa and A. nidulans were measured by sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx and HiSeq2000 platforms.

Aspergillus fumigatus spore proteases alter the respiratory mucosa architecture and facilitate equine herpesvirus 1 infection

Project description:The interaction between Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) spores and the respiratory epithelium, as well as its impact on the epithelial barrier function, remain largely unknown. The respiratory epithelial barrier protects the respiratory epithelium against viral infections. However, it can be compromised by environmental contaminants such as pollen, thereby increasing susceptibility to respiratory viral infections, including alphaherpesvirus equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1). To determine whether Af spores disrupt the epithelial integrity and enhance susceptibility to viral infections, equine respiratory mucosal ex vivo explants were pretreated with Af spore diffusate, followed by EHV-1 inoculation. Af spore proteases were characterized by zymography and identified using mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Proteases of the serine protease, metalloprotease and aspartic protease groups were identified. Morphological analysis of hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained sections of the explants revealed that Af spores induced desquamation of epithelial cells and a significant increase in intercellular space at high and low concentrations, respectively. The increase in intercellular space in the epithelium caused by Af spore proteases correlated with an increase in EHV-1 infection. Together, our findings demonstrate that Af spore proteases disrupt epithelial integrity, potentially leading to increased viral infection of the respiratory epithelium.

S. aureus exoproteome in the context of genetic competence development

Project description:To perform natural transformation, one of the three main Horizontal Gene Transfer mechanisms, bacteria need to enter a physiological differentiated state called genetic competence. Interestingly, new bacteria displaying such aptitude are often discovered, and one of the latest is the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Here, we developed a new protocol, based on planktonic cells cultures, leading to a large percentage of the population activating competence development and a significant improvement of S. aureus natural transformation efficiencies. Taking advantage of these new conditions, we performed transcriptomics analyses to characterize each central competence regulators regulon. SigH and ComK1 were both found essential for activating natural transformation genes but also important for activation or repression of peripheral functions. Even though ComK2 was not found important for the control of transformation genes, its regulon showed an important overlap with that of SigH and ComK1. Finally, we showed how microaerobic conditions, sensed by the SrrAB two-component system, was key to activate competence in S. aureus.

BLM helicase protein negatively regulates stress granule formation through unwinding RNA G-quadruplex structures

Project description:We ran native 5% polyacrylamide-TBE gel for electro mobility shift assay (EMSA) for DNA/RNA G4 structures with or without recombinant human core-BLM (cBLM) protein, which was extracted and purified from E.coli in order to show binding of the RNA/DNA by this protein. To further evidence, we cut the equivalent gel area where the shifted band is located for all the wells (DNA only, DNA+cBLM, RNA, RNA+cBLM and cBLM only) and anlayzed by LC-MS/MS to identify human BLM and to see if there are some E.coli contaminations in those specific bands. Moreover, we analyzed the stock solution of the recombinant cBLM as general control.

Yeast genetic codes - Endogenous Stochastic Decoding of the CUG Codon by Competing Ser- and Leu-tRNAs in Ascoidea asiatica

Project description:While the “universal” genetic code is now known not to be universal, and stop codons can have multiple meanings, one regularity remains, namely that for a given sense codon there is a unique translation. Examining CUG usage in yeasts that have transferred CUG away from leucine, we here report the first example of dual coding: Ascoidea asiatica stochastically encodes CUG as both serine and leucine. This is deleterious as evidenced by CUG codons being rare, never at conserved serine/leucine residues and predominantly in lowly expressed genes. Related yeasts solve the problem by loss-of-function of one of the two tRNAs. This dual-coding is consistent with the tRNA-loss driven codon reassignment hypothesis and provides a unique example of a proteome that cannot be deterministically predicted.

Cell-derived extracellular vesicles can be used as a biomarker reservoir for glioblastoma tumor subtyping

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive solid tumors for which treatment options and biomarkers are limited. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) produced by both GBM and stromal cells are central in the inter-cellular communication that is taking place in the tumor bulk. As tumor sEVs are accessible in biofluids, recent reports have suggested that sEVs contain valuable biomarkers for GBM patient diagnosis and follow-up. The aim of the current study was to describe the protein content of sEVs produced by different GBM cell lines and patient-derived stem cells. Our results revealed that the content of the sEVs mirrors the phenotypic signature of the respective GBM cells, leading to the description of potential informative sEV-associated biomarkers for GBM subtyping, such as CD44. Overall, these data could assist future GBM in vitro studies and provide insights for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods as well as personalized treatment strategies.

Comparative proteomic analysis of exoproteome and membrane enriched fractions of PAK and PAK pJN2133 strains

Project description:This work characterizes a P.aeruginosa strain with low levels of c-di-GMP resultant from the overexpression of the phosphodiesterase PA2133. Phenotypic characterization showed that biofilm formation, adhesion to epitheliel cells, and motility are severely impaired in this strain. We applied both, DIGE / MALDI-TOF/TOF and shotgun LC/MS/MS quantitative proteomic analysis to exoproteome and enriched membrane protein fractions. Results from both complementary strategies were in agreement and revealed motility, type III secretion, and chemotaxis to be the main affected processes by PA2133 overexpression. These results are the first to show that flagella synthesis, twitching motility, and chemotaxis are negatively regulated by low c-di-GMP levels in P.aeruginosa and thus confront our current undertsandings of c-di-GMP signalling.
