Chemoproteomic identification of a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) homolog in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron important for envelope integrity and fitness

ABSTRACT: Serine hydrolases play important roles in signaling and human metabolism, yet little is known about the functions of these enzymes in gut commensal bacteria. Using bioinformatics and chemoproteomics, we identify serine hydrolases in the gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron that are specific to the Bacteroidetes phylum. Two are predicted homologs of the human protease dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (hDPP4), a key enzyme that regulates insulin signaling. Functional studies reveal that BT4193 is a true homolog of hDPP4 while the other is misannotated and is a proline-specific triaminopeptidase. We demonstrate that BT4193 is important for envelope integrity and is inhibited by FDA-approved type 2 diabetes medications that target hDPP4. Loss of BT4193 reduces B. thetaiotaomicron fitness during in vitro growth within a diverse community. Taken together, our findings suggest that serine hydrolases contribute to gut microbiota dynamics and may be off-targets for existing drugs that could cause unintended impact on the microbiota.

Project description:Despite the crucial function of the small intestine for nutrient uptake our understanding of the molecular events underlying the digestive function is very rudimentary. For example, it has only recently become evident that not all absorbed triacylglycerol (TAG) is immediately secreted in the form of chylomicrons (CM) by enterocytes. Instead, especially after high-fat challenges, parts of the re-synthesized TAG can be packaged into cytosolic lipid droplets (CLD) for transient storage in the endothelial layer of the small intestine. The reasons for this intermediate storage of TAGs are currently not completely understood. Several mechanisms, including alleviating lipotoxicity to enterocytes, limits in the rate of CM assembly or smoothening of the post-prandial peaks of blood hypertriglyceridemia have been suggested to explain this intermediate storage of TAG in CLD. Interestingly, rather than being evenly distributed across the small intestine, the proximal jejunum exhibits the highest TAG storage and CM secretion. Once stored in CLD, lipids are either remobilized in the inter-prandial phase or by various stimuli, e.g. a sequential meal containing either lipids or glucose. After remobilization, a triglyceride peak can be observed in the form of plasma CM well before lipids from the second meal have been digested in the intestinal lumen. To synthesize CM with lipids from CLD, CLD TAG have to be hydrolyzed to be transported across the ER membrane which can either be achieved by cytoplasmic TAG lipolysis or lipophagy. We hypothesize that correlating enzymatic activities of hydrolases with the reported distribution of TAG storage and chylomicron secretion in different sections of the small intestine is a promising strategy to pinpoint the key players in TAG remobilization. To rank hydrolases based on their relative activity in the different sections of the small intestine we have harnessed a serine hydrolase specific activity-based labeling strategy to label active hydrolases in freshly harvested enterocytes. Enrichment of activity labeled enzymes over control samples and abundance of enriched hydrolases from individual small intestine sections was analyzed using quantitative proteomics, resulting in a ranking of the most active hydrolases in 11 fractions of murine small intestine. Moreover, several clusters of enzymes showing similar activity distribution along the small intestine were identified.
