Extraction of A. fumigatus proteins from culture-filtrate-exposed fungal cultures.


ABSTRACT: The fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is frequently cultured from the sputum of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients along with the bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A. fumigatus secretes a range of secondary metabolites, and one of these, gliotoxin, has inhibitory effects on the host immune response. In this study, the effect of P. aeruginosa culture filtrate (CuF) on fungal growth and gliotoxin production was investigated. Exposure of A. fumigatus hyphae to P. aeruginosa cells induced increased production of gliotoxin and a decrease in fungal growth. In contrast exposure of A. fumigatus hyphae to P. aeruginosa CuF lead to increased growth and decreased gliotoxin production. Quantitative proteomic analysis was employed to characterize the proteomic response of A. fumigatus upon exposure to P. aeruginosa CuF. Changes in the profile of proteins involved with secondary metabolite biosynthesis (gliotoxin, fumagillin, pseurotin A), and changes to the abundance of proteins involved in oxidative stress (e.g. formate dehydrogenase) and detoxification (e.g. thioredoxin reductase) were observed, suggesting that the bacterial secretome has a profound effect on the fungal proteome. Alterations in the abundance of proteins involved in detoxification and oxidative stress, highlight the ability of A. fumigatus to differentially regulate protein synthesis in response to environmental stresses imposed by competitors such as P. aeruginosa. Such responses may ultimately have serious detrimental effects on the host.
